The Crabby Take

Crabby Pilot's take

Award-winning BBQ powerhouse serving James Beard House-recognized smoked meats in a casual, family-friendly atmosphere. Famous for their 18-hour smoked brisket and creative comfort combinations like the Six Shooter with pulled pork over cheese grits. Worth the flight for authentic Central Florida barbecue that's earned national acclaim from Food & Wine and Southern Living. Named Best BBQ in Southeast by Southern Living 2021, cooked at James Beard House twice, featured at Food Network South Beach Wine & Food Festival 2011-2014, covered by Food & Wine, USA Today, and Travel + Leisure
