TROPICAL SMOKEHOUSE – American
Florida craft barbecue, smoked on West Atlantic Avenue by a kitchen under pitmaster Rick Mace — a 2023 James Beard Best Chef: South semifinalist. The plates read tropical rather than Texan: chopped brisket, jerk chicken, mojo pulled pork, outsized smoked drumsticks and ribs, served with coconut rice, plantains, hush puppies, kale Caesar and a sharp pickled Caribbean slaw. A rack of house sauces sits on the table for sorting out. The bar fills early for half-price happy-hour cocktails. Diners describe it as unpretentious, quick and genuinely warm — barbecue with a point of view.
