Our Guestbook
“ Big John's Rockin BBQ is a lot of fun and located in a great location adjacent to a Lakefront park. It has the typical menu for a BBQ spot with combination platters or separate entrees with sides. I had a 2 x 2 and thoroughly enjoyed both the brisket and sausage. Their sausage had a distinct flavor with delicious seasoning. The main thing to be aware of with this restaurant is that it basically just utilizes street and park parking. So, try to come at an off time if you can. ”
“ This place has everything you could want in a BBQ place! Friendly, competent staff, good beer selection and great BBQ. Located near the lake in downtown Kissimmee, we went out of our way to come here due to the reviews and are so glad we did. Had some draft beers, the sampler platter with collard greens and baked beans and a side of French fries. Everything was excellent! Cody was our server and he was both very attentive and super helpful in making selections. It was a beautiful day so we sat out on the open air deck and enjoyed the ambiance. Excellent experiences ”
“ Outdoor seating for breakfast afterwards Sunday church. Chris was our server, very enjoyable and excellent. Alas, her last day. Great prices and promptly served. ”
“ This is the absolute best BBQ you can buy! I wouldn't listen to the negatives on here. We have been several times and the food and service has never disappointed. Tonight we had the super sampler which comes with the most tender and moist brisket. We travel all over the world and there are few places that compare. This is Texas style brisket and you definitely don't need sauce! The ribs were fall off the bone and have a uniquely sweet finishing taste. The pork and chicken were also good but the sausage was amazing!! The baked beans and collard greens are true southern style and delicious. We got the corn nugget appetizer and it does not disappoint! My husband had their house lager and I had a frozen mango margarita which was very good. Nice and refreshing compared to the Florida heat. Our server was excellent (shout out to Cory) and the ambience was cool. It is a good mix of hole-in-the-wall and retro rock themed restaurant. There was not a table empty in this place tonight! Our server was upfront and let us know that since they are a mom and pop shop and so busy, it may be a little longer wait than the locals are used to (maybe that's why people seem so upset on here??) but it was shorter than a wait at most chain places! The wait wasn't bad at all. Overall a must try place!! ”
“ This was solid. It's exactly what you would have expected. Nothing to rave about but also a good meal for a good price, at the end of the day. The meats were really good and flavorful; really appreciated that they weren't dry. The service was also good. Our server was knowledgeable and very kind. He wasn't constantly on top of us, which we appreciated it. The ambiance was okay. Nothing to note really. Overall a solid 4 stars on food and service. ”
