This is a fairly new place located in Southport Park in association with Boggy Creek Airboats. While the building has been there for some time it has only recently been converted into the restaurant (I remember it being a gift shop before). My wife and I went in for Lunch today and found the place with a few other diners, so not crowded but a pleasant atmosphere. Country music on the sound system and it was a warm place of civilization on a cold and blustery day. We were quickly seated and Natalie our server took our drink orders. My wife had coffee with honey to sweeten it and I had a Diet Pepsi. Natalie left the menus and went to deal with that. We looked them over and discussed out choices. My Wife chose to have the Fried Catfish with two orders of Collard Greens as her sides. I chose the 3 Meat Smoked Combo and asked for ½ rack of Ribs, Beef Brisket and Pulled Pork. My sides were Green Beans and Mashed Potatoes. In a first at a restaurant Natalie asked if we wanted wood or plastic flatware. We decided to try the wood. It seems that the plates and flatware here are made of a biodegradable bamboo which I think is a neat idea. Much less fooling around for the dishwasher and is made from a renewable resource unlike plastics. Curtis, the Manager at the restaurant made a stop by the table and checked on us. I found him quite personable and pleasant. I also saw him busing and cleaning tables. They use brown paper as a table covering and the wait staff write their names in crayon on it when they introduce themselves. Once our food arrived in ample portions (I told Natalie wed need take away boxes immediately.) we set to. My Wife was very pleased with the catfish, properly fried and not greasy at all, she also loved the collard greens. I tried the green beans first and they were excellent. So many places I have been the sides are an afterthought, clearly not here. Tasty and fresh. The mashed potatoes were of a red skin variety, I could tell because they were still somewhat lumpy and had the skins on, just the way I like them! None of this pureed to death or reconstituted mush here. When I am trying a place for the first time I always try the meat without adding sauces to it first. The Pulled Pork was tender and well smoked, the Beef Brisket juicy and very tasty and the ribs really didnt need any other sauce (that didn;t stop me from trying them of course!) I tried several of the sauces on the table and will discuss three of them. First is the Mango Habanero sauce. Very flavorful an excellent blend of sweet and hot. While I am not one who normally goes for the hotter sauces this is one Ill be trying again. The Texas BBQ Sauce had a nice tangy flavor but the one I really took to this time was the Hickory Sauce. I dont often hand out a five star rating, but this place is definitely on that list. We will be back often and if you are in the area you should absolutely stop by. Better yet make a day of it and go for an airboat ride, listen to Taylor the Gatorland employee who talks about the native wildlife and listen to a story or two from the Native Storyteller in the village.

Not only was the BBQ some of the best weve had since moving to Florida, the staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. After dinner my daughter grabbed a peppermint from the checkout counter and we went to enjoy the outdoor patio. Next thing I know my daughter is choking on the mint & the entire outdoor staff is racing to her rescue! Thankfully she recovered after a quick Heimlich and we were then able to enjoy the baby "Gatorland" gators & a nature lesson from their resident Comanche Indian "Little".

WOW!!!! What a hidden gem this restaurant is. Its off the beaten path located also at Boggy Creek Airboat Rides. The food was absolutely amazing and I just cant wait to come back again and try everything on the menu. Its definitely worth the travel to stop and grab some amazing food and go for an awesome airboat ride at the same time.

Disappointed after reading the great reviews. I had chicken and it was average. My husband had the brisket and it was good but not great. Service was inattentive and they were not busy. We would not return.
