Best Authentic BBQ
Recognized by USA Today as third in the U.S. for Best Barbecue a few years ago, Hickory Hollow specializes in pulled pork with a vinegar-based sauce and 25 seasonal vegetable dishes – from corn pudding to collards and black-eyed peas. Travelocity and IgoUgo.com named Mr. Bones BBQ a top insider spot in Florida in its 2007 edition of Local Secrets, Big Finds® and we think this funky restaurant made the list not only for its full-flavored dishes served sans condiments, but for the more than 60 beers served ice cold from a coffin.
