Sunshine BBQ and Cafe in Okeechobee - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The food has that smokey flavor that is the key to good BBQ. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Great pit stop for any road trip.

This is basically a takeout restaurant; outside seating in the back. We had to drive around the block a couple times to find where Google was taking us; I’m glad we did cuz the food is worth it. Best beans and barbecue we’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend. They have a couple tables inside.

this place is amazing and I love the sweet girl in the front in the cashier she’s sweet but the food SMELLS AND TASTE BOMB 😮‍💨

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a Texan where BBQ is king, Sunshine BBQ in Okeechobee, Florida, is the best-kept secret in town! Every item on the menu is a winner. We had the pulled pork, brisket, and smoked chicken - all were phenomenal. Great food paired with fabulous service made for an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

Today we made a short stop here during our vacation because of the positive reviews. The staff was very friendly, polite and accommodating. The food was incredibly delicious. My husband, my two children and I were full and were particularly enthusiastic about the delicious pulled pork. Thank you for the pleasant stay. We'd love to come back when we're in the area again!

Ordered the pulled pork sandwich combo. The pulled pork was good and the smoke flavor was perfect. The sandwich itself is huge and is easily 2 meals for me. The sauce is really tasty and they put it on the sandwich for you which I'm okay with but had I know I would have asked for extra but I will know for next time.

Truly the best bbq in okeechobee,has amazing food all the way from brisket to thier fried appetizers such a lovely place with lovely staff

Drove from West Palm Bch to enjoy the best BBQ in Okeechobee! Thankyou Rebecca and Crystal, we enjoyed the family feast(s) lakeside and will be back ASAP!😋

The food here is fantastic and a lot of it for the money!

Crystal was very welcoming and helpful while I was waiting for a to go order! The food smells amazing and the staff is very friendly 😊

Was in town for a business meeting. Wanted bbq and here this was rated 4.8, so thought it was a good bet for good meal. First, let me say that the staff was friendly, polite and courteous so it makes it hard to say negative things here. But meats, especially the brisket, was just awful - No flavor, stringy. The chicken didn’t taste smoked, and the pulled pork felt boiled and no bark. The saving grace was the sauces. The coleslaw lacked any flavor. The best part of the meal was the crinkle-cut fries. Not something to be excited about when you go for bbq. Really prefer to support local businesses when go out to eat, but this makes me pause for the next time. Again nice staff, but the bbq was a real disappointment.

Awesome! Delta 8 White chocolate with chocolate and caramel drizzle coffee ☕️

BBQ was awesome and served in timely fashion atmosphere is friendly and helpful really enjoyed it will definitely return

Everyone was so nice and because it was my birthday I got treated really well. Brisket sandwiches and fries were delicious. I loved the collard greens. I will definitely be getting them again!

Love love love this smoke shop!! Sweet workers, amazing customer service. The food is really good too. I always get the tots or fries, they are amazing!!

We drive to/from St Pete to Palm Beach often, grabbed a to go pulled pork sandwich just a bit ago to eat in the car…some of the best bbq we’ve ever had, delish, and loved the. Cole slaw!!! We’ll be back and refer family/friends, great service as well!!!!

Very unique. Limited indoors seating.

First time here. This place is awesome! Great friendly people! Food is amazing. Especially the pork bowl. 😋

Egg rolls are phenomenal, along with the cheeseburgers and pulled pork sandwiches. Let’s not forget the burnt ends, they almost melt in your mouth.

Great hot fresh food. Very tasty.

Husband and I stopped at the smoke shop for a Kratom tea and smelled the BBQ. We came back a month later to try it and my goodness. THE BEST BBQ FOOD WE HAVE EVER HAD. I’ve traveled all over the country, (Michigan native) this is the best BBQ I’ve had. Husband from Fort Drum, FL and this is his favorite bbq also. Incredible service, the owner gave me a fast of collard greens while I waited for my order. Not a coleslaw girl here but my goodness this coleslaw is my favorite. Just all around good people, great food, and better service. Thank you for your passion for good food.

Excellent brisket! Parking lot is not the best for Bikes. Very friendly staff. Mostly take out but there are 2 tables with seating for 2 each of you're on bikes.

Went into this site for the first time in my way to my mom's. My mom come down with shingles. I did not know much about shingles. I did a little research seems their is not much over the counter at CVS that really helps worth itching. In this store I met a man that told me about this cream. I thought anything to try to help my mom. When I got to my mom's I asked her to apply it to a itchy area. She did, It really worked she stopped itching. She started applying it to all the itchy areas. Just earlier she was crying in the phone with me. Now she was smiling at me. I'm thankful the gentleman showed me this cream. Also the food they cook is mouth watering.

Delicious BBQ made on the spot, and a convenient vape shop on location where you can get Delicious edibles. I was lucky to stumble upon the promotion to receive $5 off their edibles. If I wanted to, could have been able to try two of their thc-a gummies for free. High vibes and there is a back area to hang out. Felt better buying locally and all together a great experience.

LOVE ❤️ Nothing but love for these people 🤩 This is the ultimate one stop shop 💚 Nothing like stopping in getting a few nuggies, and everything you need to consume those yummy nugs, then they have some great locally sourced products to get your body, mind and soul right wash it down with some lovely nap-time lemonade to wake up and either break out the munchies or grab some of their amazing bbq This is a great place to stop 😋🤤

I stopped in tonight as I was on my way to the local motocross track. My husband had called me earlier in the day wanting BBQ & with a quick Google search I found Sunshine BBQ was the closest to where I was going & they had great reviews. I told the lady at the counter where I was going so she asked if we needed plates & plastic ware. When I got to the track, OH MY GOSH! Our dinner was amazing! I ordered the brisket, ribs, pulled pork, baked beans & Mac-n-cheese. Thank you guys so much for an amazing meal!

Fantastic pulled pork sandwich, absolutely Delicious and one of the best I've had. Disappointed I don't live close by to get it more often.

Stopped in last Saturday after our visit to the Big O Flea Market. Had the brisket mac and cheese it was absolutely heavenly. They also brought out a small bowl if their chili they had finished for us to sample. Best chili I've had in ages. The only regret is that we didn't get a gallon of each to come home with us. We'll be making the 1-1/2 hour trip to Okeechobee more often than we originally thought. Prices where extremely reasonable to top it off.

Delicious combo meal with chicken, pulled pork and brisket. Fries, onion rings and baked beans were great, too. We will be back.

Best BBQ I have had in a long time. The chicken and brisket were tender and delicious. 👌 👏 The sauces to go with the food were just perfect. This will be a weekly place for me.

Love this place! The food is amazing! My favorite is the gizzards, fried mushrooms, onion rings, and the pork eggs roll. The company is amazing and the atmosphere is so friendly.

Over full. Gggggreat company with the people that work there. Like people tell you never estimate an small place until you go in it and be amazed. Hammer brisket and Mac and cheese egg roll. Plus you can earn points for discount on items inside. Yeah me

The food was amazing!! We got the brisket, pulled pork sliders, pulled pork sandwich, mac and cheese brisket egg rolls. Everything was fresh and the service was fast! Highly recommend!!

Food was delicious! So many good options.

After beginning our Birthday Celebration with a 10:00 a.m. Airboat Ride at Eagle Bay Airboat Rides ... We stopped for lunch at Sunshine BBQ and Cafe ... While waiting for 2 Brisket Sandwiches, a half slab of ribs, 20 wings and fixings ... We "shopped" in their shop next door specializing in CBD and Delta 8 Products. As you may know from my previous review of GrowHealty Dispensary in West Palm and Stuart ... I am a Legal Card Caring Medicinal Card holder and have learned to substitute Pharmaceutical Prescriptions Drugs with Medical Marijuana to treat the Lyme Disease with all 5 Co-Infections inside my brain. I am NOT A DOCTOR ... I am a PATIENT who has lived thru 18 years of heavy Pharmaceutical Psychotropics ... So consider "the source" ... I would consider the 'Gentleman' that recommended the different strains of the CBD ... And what I need to regulate my brain speed and focus state of mind ... "IS" ... "THE EXPERT" ... mind you ! I am NOT a Doctor ... I'm nobody actually ... Just speaking from personal life experience ... And being free of all Pharmaceutical Psychotropics for over 15 years ... Maintaining my disease with occasional antibiotics and MMJ and CBD. Thank you ... You made my 70th Birthday "Ffffffaaaabulousss Dahhhlinkkk" !!! -- Peg

Courtney is the best cook ever!

The loaded tater tots are AMAZING 💕💕💕

Place is always clean very nice respectful staff delicious food

Great BBQ from a hole in a wall!!!!

Love these mom an pop places. It really great to see there are still some good ole Florida Crackers left serving some very fine BBQ in a while ld Florida way.

10/10 Southern hospitality going on here. Brisket pulled pork and chicken all better than expected!! They even have a cbd/head-shop attached with everything you could ever need. Worth a stop in.

It was a BBQ pit stop from West Palm to Siesta Keys and this place didn't disappoint. We had two babies Ina stroller and were warmly greeted by evwey employee there. The brisket was freshly made for the day and they gave us little samlples :). We got the brisket sandwich and it was tender and juicy. The slaw, fries and beans with it were great as well. Just a plus- This place is attached to a CBD store that sells gummies and CBD pain creams. We he owner gave us a few samples. We will be back for sure ☺️

Best BBQ in Okeechobee no doubt

I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible BBQ restaurant and vape shop, and let me tell you, it was an absolute delight for both my taste buds and my senses! This establishment truly knows how to deliver a top-notch experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive, making me feel right at home. They were more than happy to guide me through their extensive selection of flavors and options, both for vaping and the medical herbs they offer. Now, let's talk about the food! The BBQ served here is nothing short of exceptional. Every bite was a burst of smoky, mouthwatering goodness. The meats were perfectly seasoned, tender, and juicy. The variety of sauces and rubs provided the perfect balance of flavors. Whether it was the succulent ribs, the melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork, or the flavorful brisket, everything was prepared to perfection. Now, let's talk about the collard greens with hot sauce. Oh my goodness! They were off the scale! The combination of tender collard greens cooked to perfection, coupled with a tantalizing hot sauce, created a flavor explosion that was simply irresistible.

Ordered a full rack with no sauce. Why? because you should to find if they know how to smoke or not.... HANDS DOWN BEST RIBS I HAVE HAD IN YEARS..... I am here to tell you.. "Fall off the bone" actually means over cooked. Sunshine ribs you leave teeth marks in the meat the way its suppose to be....that's how you know ribs are done perfectly. That rack definitely delivered and the price was good compared to what you would buy for 2 people to eat out or buying groceries. You should definitely try it. If you haven't already. HATS OFF TO WHOMEVER SMOKED THOSE RACKS....

Great Food, Awesome staff Love coming here and always happy with everything they have from the products in the store to the food and drinks offered in the restaurant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I just moved to Okeechobee and found this place. The food is AMAZING and Amanda is so sweet! I will definitely be coming back again!

The ribs were fall off the bone amazing!!!! The portions were superior and delivery was fast. You did not disappoint with enough BBQ sauce, napkins, wipes ect. We are so happy to have found this little hidden gem!!!!

Best BBQ in Okeechobee I'm from California and let's be real not a place for good BBQ then had ribs from here and tasted fantastic plus its head shop as well which is an added bonus love this place already had much more of there food

This place is awesome. Vape/head shop has tons of gadgets and product. I Really like what the owner has done to the place. Food is cooked onsite in back on smoker and it is local fresh meat. YOU HAVE TO TRY THE BURGER 🍔 😋

Very helpful nice people that run the place very professional know their products their food is awesome keep the good work up

The egg rolls were awesome. Highly recommend. The brisket and Mac bowl. That left something to be desired. I will try something else next time. Definitely worth the trip for those BBQ eggrolls though.

They share the space with a vape store. My wife ordered bake beans, coleslaw and pulled pork sandwich. I had a half a slap of ribs. It came to $ 28.00 with $4.00 tip. Bake bean had meat in them, but were out of the can. The slaw had no flavor. My wife said. Pulled pork was OK. Presentation of my ribs was good, but they seem like they were cooked the day before.Food was Ok.
