The pitmasters at Hamaknockers Bar-B-Que restaurant are preparing some of the best Bar-B-Que in the state of Florida. May we even be as bold to say anywhere east of the Mississippi River. They have been featured on Food Channel's, ManFireFood series. The atmosphere is very casual with it's charming rustic interior.
We recommend the "Hamaknockers Combo" with Wings, Pulled Pork & Ribs along with sides of baked beans & macaroni & cheese so you get a little taste of everything. They feature many cold Florida craft Beers on tap.
Their brownie with Carmel, fudge topping & ice cream is a great finishing touch.
Outside seating with yard games.
