Kay's Real Pit -b-q - Cocoa

Come here to remember! I had my first hush puppies here. They are crispy and delicious. The green beans are with an anchovy I never had before in my life, but I will never have green beans unless they have it. The shrimps were deliciously grilled with light spices. My picky little eating father ate almost all his plates and sides (not always that! Very good. Huge plates and sides. Again and again, until we leave Florida. Thanks Kay? S

My first visit and missed taking a few pix. This shot shows the Brunswick Stew that I took out. Amazing and look at the heartiness! I?m going back for a gallon. The pulled pork was tender and tasty, the fried catfish was very good. The mac n cheese was cheesy tasty and a large portion. The brisket was average. The meatloaf was very good, too. The slaw portion was monstrous and good. BBQ Beans were some of the best I?ve had. There was no greeting as we walked in and waited at the counter to be seated. Would score a 3.5 but can?t do that. I will return though.

What a great surprise. Wasn?t craving BBQ but the hubby wanted so we stopped here for lunch. They have a meal for 2 that offers an excellent variety and quantity of food, all of which tastes fantastic at an unbelievable price $26). Our server Bella was friendly and attentive, my favorite qualities. Food came fast and fresh, also my favorite qualities. Side note I was famished so we ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer. Chips were good, salsa was just ok. Good amount of spice but was missing something for me. This is on me though for ordering chips and salsa at a BBQ joint. Side note 2 The outside of the building is not impressive, we almost skipped but am very glad we didn?t. This is a lesson to me that appearances are not always what they seem. All in all, we really enjoyed and would come again when we are the area.

Sigh.... I do not. I repeat I do not typically write negative reviews. I understand that small businesses are struggling during this time. Patience and grace must be given. However, they didn't lack servers or clients. But the food.... I specifically asked the server if the pulled pork had a sauce on it. He said no. It came out and it was probably the worst pulled pork I have ever had. It came out in a bowl sizzling on the sides from what I am assuming being microwaved. Mac n cheese was nothing more than stoufers frozen. My baked potato was old and heated from the microwave. My husband's fried okra and our garlic toast was fresh. But honestly, save your money. I was so disappointed because I wanted good BBQ and was trying this out for the first time.

Excellent lunch experience. Friendly staff and good food. Sauce bottles (presumably homemade ?house? sauce) are on each table. I found these sauces to be quite tasty complements to the meats. Ribs were a bit tough and brisket a bit too fatty, but great taste nonetheless. Will return again.
