SMOKIN JOES BBQ – American
A roadside smokehouse on Highway 17 that has been running the pits for more than a decade and is comfortably the best-known kitchen in Bowling Green. Pulled pork and beef brisket carry the board, but the smoked mullet is the item that marks this as a Florida BBQ joint rather than a transplanted one, and smoked chicken rounds it out. Sides are the Southern canon done properly: mac and cheese, collard greens, coleslaw, baked beans. The standard order is a platter, a meat and two, and nobody walks out hungry. Plain room, paper plates, and a line at lunch that speaks for itself.
