Bidrage med feedbackOne of THE best, if not THE BEST, BBQ providers in our area. Worth going out of your way for... we especially like his Wednesdays at the Phillippi Estate Park Farmers ' Market, where you can munch al fresco. Has never failed to serve up excellent quality meats little or no fat, zero gristle, faultless blend of spices in rub and sauce slowly done to major yumminess over real oak wood. The always gracious Perry (ask him anything about bbq... he loves his craft and telling about it) deserves a Holy Smokes!!! award.
When we learned we were going to have far more people attending a couple's wedding shower for our daughter and her fiance', we panicked a bit...until we called Perry's Original Roadside BBQ for help. With less than a week to prepare, Perry assured us they could handle it. No problem. We ordered pulled pork, chicken and delicious sides for 50 people and we had SO much leftover after the shower!! The portions were enormous!! Perry showed up right on time with a big smile and a hearty laugh. He got everything all set up for us and the guests were WOWED by the amazing food! Best of all, Perry left several bottles of his special BBQ sauce. Yum!! When we run out, we're definitely ordering more. And, from now on, when we need food for a crowd, we're calling our new friend. Thanks sooooo much, Perry!!! (By the way...Perry, you should patent that Mac N Cheese recipe! It was EXQUISITE!!! Everybody went back for seconds and I had thirds!!
Now this is the best barbecue in town. Perry has consistently been killing the barbecue game for as long as I can remember. What you know about that brisket? He asks as I tell him what cut I want. Born in the deep South, I know a heck of a lot about brisket and his is by far the best I have ever had. The incredible barbecued meat and sauce that Perry offers is only shadowed by his larger-than-life personality. He is one of the few people that you can count on to always be smiling. His attention to detail is obvious because the meats are always juicy, and the sides are on point. He is a roadside barbecue man, but deserving of a restaurant in town to rule them all. What 's the point of good barbecue if the sides don 't match up to the quality.? That 's right, there is no point. Pick up barbecue from Perry and you won 't be disappointed. Come on, that macaroni? Fill a bathtub with that stuff and let me swim in it until my very last breath.
As a Texan transplanted to Sarasota years ago, I can attest to the fact that Perry 's brisket (and the rest, for that matter) is as good as or better than any that can be found in the Texas hill country, St. Louis, Memphis, Kansas, or the Carolinas. He makes a great sauce, too. My all time favorite barbeques were Sonny Bryan 's in Dallas, County Line in Austin, and the Old Copeland Inn and Lockhart outside of Austin. Perry gives them all a run for their meat, er, money. So if you can 't get to the promised land of Texas, find Perry here in Sarasota. He is the real deal! Hook ' em!
We drive by Perry's all the time when he's on Clark Road on Sundays, and finally got around to trying it. Wish we had done so sooner; this is excellent food. Their website says they're open until 5pm on Sundays, but it's really until the food runs out. If you want the full array of options, get there early. We went at 4pm and got the last of his brisket, half of the remaining chicken, and the only two sides still available cole slaw and potato salad. Everything was fantastic. The meat was perfectly cooked and so full of flavor, and the side dishes tasted like homemade in the best possible way. I was originally disappointed we had to get potato salad, but once I tried it I couldn't stop eating it. Now I'm eager to try everything else on the menu. You should do the same.
