If you want to go back in time and enjoy old school bar-b-q this isnthe place for you! They cook real pit bbq open fire like it should be. As a long time resident of Auburndale I have eaten here numerous times and it only gets better. Definitely a must eat at least once a month with family and friends.
We love Peebles! In an old chicken house/coop. The food comes quick and is delicious! Reasonable priced. There are two kinds of bbq sauce on the table one sweet one savory. I prefer the savory. Our waitresses have always been very friendly. Only open Thursday Friday and Saturday. LOVE their collard greens ask for double!
Omg! I was recommended by a coworker. The bacon BBQ cheeseburger has got to be the best burger I've ever had, hands down. Great food, great people! Thank you for such a great meal.
I moved here yr ago from KS and went to many barbecue places here and this is by far my favorite
Rustic charm just good food which when you’re hungry that’s all you need. Everything is home made. The meats are juicy the sauces are unique and delicious. Best BBQ in Polk county. There is no a/c so be prepared. Also when you order the meal for 2 each person gets 2 sides of their choice. This restaurant is GREAT.
I've been eating this BBQ since I was a child visiting grandparents in the early 60s. Was in the neighborhood yesterday and visited again. Food as good as ever, price still reasonable. I know BBQ is a very personal thing but it's the best I've ever had. Go if you can!
Y’all…this is the place. Hole in the wall, amazing BBQ! Our server Allie was outstanding! Quick, super sweet, and attentive! She even hooked us up with behind the scenes tour of the smokers! Kyle, the guy behind the meat told us all about how much they go through of each one, told us about their made from scratch BBQ sauce etc! We all had the pork! 2 of us had pork sandwiches, with potato salad, coleslaw and baked beans! 2 of us had the loaded baked potato with a side of greens. The potato had to be like 2 lbs! It was massive. So delicious! Would absolutely recommend! Be prepared it’s not fancy, but worth it!
Amazing food! I had the baked potato loaded with pork (which was huge by the way and could probably feed 2 people ). Our server Allie was awesome! Super sweet and kind and I heard she was heading to Hawaii this week! Have an amazing time Allie! We also got a behind the scenes tour from the famous cook Kyle! So cool to see how they cook the meat and prep the food! Highly recommend Peebles 10/10 all around!
