Don’t get us wrong, chilling out and grilling out is one of our favorite activities…but sometimes going out and being treated to delicious BBQ is what it’s all about! After an incredible Labor Day weekend we couldn’t get our minds off two things…BEER and BBQ. Here are some of our favorite places to indulge in just that!

BRICK’S SMOKED MEATS

Where there's smoke, there's fire! Authentic, Central Texas-style barbecue cooked “low and slow” in an offset, wood-fired J&R Manufacturing Oyler Smoker – lovingly known as “Big Red” – one of the most sought-after smokers worldwide. Their pride and joy is their 18-hour USDA Prime Brisket, made the old school way with just wood and time. They have a full bar featuring whiskeys and tequilas, with easy, comfortable spaces for relaxing with family, friends and neighbors. Brick’s is a Florida-influenced, modern day interpretation of the classic Central Texas traditions of barbecue and cuisine. Texas Barbecue Culture is all about craftsmanship, devotion to time-honored methods, family, neighborliness and the fun of gathering round the table. Their aim is to bring that to our Sarasota community in a special way and to offer up a “double portion” of the best smoked meats available paired with heartfelt hospitality.

Father's Day 2022 is right around the corner and we want to make sure this year is one to remember. There is no better way to celebrate than supporting locally owned and operated restaurants right here on the Suncoast.
