★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jim C · Mar 2026

I was craving a pork sandwich and fries for lunch, had been for a few days. Today I swung in to grab one to go. The service was great and it is kinda neat inside, appearance wise. I paid $18.80 for a pulled pork sandwich on a bun, with fries and a beverage. I was surprised at the cost yet paid and waited for my food. It came out quick and I grabbed it and headed back to the office. When I get back, I opened the container and was surprised at how little the fries were and the teeny tiny cup of coleslaw was. The sandwich was thick, lots of pork, sauces were good too; I had spicy and gold. Reason for the three stars is just the quantity of fries and the coleslaw. For $19, I just expected a bigger portion.

Oh my gosh. Amazing! We have tried quite a few barbecue places in and around Ocala. This is definitely my favorite! The restaurant was clean, the food was hot and fresh, there was ample seating, and it wasn’t too crowded. And the price was good! The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is the macaroni and cheese. We got the family meal deal and the two of us left with so much food! We ate lunch for the best day as well! It’s hard to do that nowadays for that price. And the blueberry barbecue sauce??? Amazing!! We will 1000% be back.

This place was delicious! We had ribs, brisket, chicken, burnt ends, wings with collared greens, smoked mac and cheese, coleslaw, Texas toast, etc and it was all incredible(and I was raised on Tennessee bbq). Needless to say, we had a lot we brought home but glad we tried everything. The staff was very friendly and welcoming as if you just pulled up to your friend’s house for a bbq. Definitely going back the next time we kayak Silver Springs. Thanks so much for a great meal at the end of a great day!

Fat Boys was INCREDIBLE! My husband loves BBQ so I was excited to find this place and even more excited when we walked in and could see (and smell) how good the experience would be. The wait staff was SUPER nice and friendly. The food exceeded expectations - the ribs my husband got were falling off the bone and possibly the best, juiciest, most flavorful ribs we have ever had. The sides we enjoyed the most were the corn nuggets (I will dream about these), the potato salad (unique and deliciously seasoned), and my husband said the sweet potato fries were also amazing. Our kids enjoyed their Mac and cheese and grilled cheese and the kids meals came with drinks and a scoop of ice cream (smart idea!). Beyond the food, the ambiance was super comfortable, chill, clean, and cool. After chatting w
