Description

Tucked into Winter Haven, this family-friendly BBQ spot offers generous smoked meats—pulled pork, ribs, brisket—and hearty sides in a charming, casual setting. Guests praise friendly staff, house sauces, daily specials and an all-you-can-eat Wednesday for great value. The atmosphere is calm with a quirky tea-room vibe, and the restaurant accommodates groups. Expect inconsistent execution at times—some items can be dry or underseasoned, and some items appear pre-prepared—yet many return for the portions, flavor variety and welcoming service.

The service is excellent. The pork, the bride, and the ribs are generous portions. The jalapeño cornbread has just the right amount of heat, which I really enjoy. They offer daily specials as well. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

I absolutely love Rick's BBQ! The food is consistently delicious, and if you have a hearty appetite, I highly recommend coming in on Wednesday for the all-you-can-eat special. Their offerings include chopped pork, chicken, ribs, and a variety of sides! The tea is fantastic as well. The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is very friendly. They can accommodate parties of any size and are well-known for their quality food. Be sure to tell them Shane recommended it!

Popular BBQ Restaurant in Winter Haven. Popular owners cook some large smoked pork ribs, pulled pork and beef brisket. Season with your choice of four sauces and fresh sides. Family atmosphere, casual dress. Very pleasant dinner with great company.

Great BBQ Not only is the food good, but the staff are awesome, and they usually have something special off the menu. For example last time I went they had turkey legs the size of a Buick regal, Brisket, baby back's, and beef ribs worthy of a Flintstone's intro. Sides are great too... Highly recommend

To start, I didn 't want to judge a book by it 's cover. I love the hole in the wall type gems with great food and good service. This place was a big disappointment. You expect a proper BBQ restaurant to have fresh juicy proteins and top notch sides. I had the pulled pork, chicken and ribs to test all of it out. The chicken was dry as a desert, and not at all flavorful or seasoned well. The ribs and pork were similar. Also the food is not fresh, or even freshly made. Nobody was cooking, they served from precooked trays behind the counter. I have an iron stomach and developed a pretty bad stomach ache 10 minutes after leaving. The mac and cheese and potato salad were also bland. They do have good BBQ sauces. One of the guys working there was friendly, though they both were sitting at the dining tables when we came in, and sat there throughout our meal. When I left I was the one who said goodbye. I went there expecting a bar of some kind or a beer, but was sadly mistaken being that they no longer serve alcohol even though the word bar is the epicenter of their title. I 've been to over a hundred BBQ joints all over the country, they need to do better if they want to survive.
