Porkies BBQ

Excellent ribs. Very good service. I can’t believe how much meat was on the ribs. The prices were amazing. Great visit.

I’ve eaten a lot of BBQ in my life and Porky’s rates in the top 10 places I have enjoyed. The BBQ pork is perfect and the choice of sauces is tasty.
The slaw is vinegar based, like grandma used to make. It’s really good.
They even have sweet tea!

Nice atmosphere and concept, very friendly and helpful staff. My wife had a turkey sammich with cole slaw and baked beans. I had a 3 meat combo with pork, brisket and chicken. My sides were dirty taters and greens.
My wife’s turkey was ok for me but way over smoked for her liking. I was expecting the brisket to be sliced but it came out pulled. All in all it was fair to good, not bad but nothing spectacular either. The meat all had very good flavor and a nice chew. The chicken was a little disappointing The sides were all good to very good, corn bread was like cake. The real winner is the Carolina vinager based sauce that stuff is top shelf. I would return again without issue or hesitation.

Great food! If you buy a meal, you can get a soda OR a beer! No extra charge.
We had pork sandwiches, fried okra and black eyed peas. Everything was delicious!
Staff is incredibly friendly.
Highly recommend this place!

This is fantastic BBQ!!! The staff is nothing but the best. This folks is real southern BBQ you can taste the smoke, the servings are hot moist abundant and fresh. If you Like the chain BBQ joints after a visit here you will wonder what you were thinking. You will realize that you never had real slow cooked southern BBQ.
The Key Lime Pie is home made and done properly.
What a great experience!!!

From Deland Florida to Seattle Washington, you can smack my ass and call my a porky because this is some damn good BBQ! I’ll be back!

What a fabulous BBQ find in Deland! We were just driving through, and saw the Unilocal reviews. This is a small place, with great food… homemade with care and love. The pork sandwiches were great. Unbelievably awesome sweet potato casserole, and naner pudding! Very clean. Nice people. Good prices. Nothing to sing them on. Solid BBQ!

I’ve never had a bad meal here! Pulled pork is magnificent, smoked turkey is awesome, and the burgers are out of this world! Better than the place across town by the airport who claim to have the best burgers. The place is small and exceptionally clean. Order at the counter, get your own drinks (unless it’s beer or wine) and sit down. They do the rest. This time, along with my ¹⁄₃ lb. cheese burger I had dirty potatoes and baked beans. The potatoes are phenomenal, seasoned and grilled (?) southern style. Not really sure how they’re prepared but I’d love their recipe! The baked beans are mildly sweet and tangy with chunks of smoked pork. Everything served piping hot by a friendly staff. If you’ve never been here, what are you waiting for?

What a great local bbq joint. The minute I walked in the smell of smoked meat tickled my nose. We had brisket, amazing pulled pork and ribs. The sides were fantastic as were the various sauces. I really like the mustard bbq. This will be my go to spot in Deland for bbq.

Great atmosphere. The selection of sauces is excellent the chicken and the ribs are marvelous. The Cole slaw heck all the sides were really good. The only reason I’m giving this place 4 stars is because maybe a bad day for the beef brisket. Didn’t taste like brisket at all. Tasted like chuck roast boiled in a crock pot. No BBQ flavor at all maybe they ran out and tried to substitute I will definitely give it another shot.

Very friendly staff here. The food was way tastier than sonny’s. Clean establishment, great food food was served fast and was fresh. Fries were seasoned but not overly seasoned. They were out of sweet tea BUT they were pretty busy. I wouldn’t fault them for anything. It was an overall great experience. My daughter had a steak that was surprisingly delicious. I had a good pulled pork sandwich. I will be back.

Beats the PANTS OFF of Sonny’s BBQ! I don’t know why I waited this long to try Porkies. I had the brisket plate with dirty taters (like home fries) and collard greens. It also game with a choice of garlic toast or cornbread. Theres a selection of BBQ sauces at each table to try and my favorites were the Carolina style (vinegar based) and the sweet hot. I split up my brisket into two piles and used one BBQ sauce for each pile of meat. It was delicious! Juicy, hot, and tender-​just the way I like it! The prices were great too, it ranges from $ 5 to $ 20.
Two things Im disappointed about but am not taking a star away for… one…they were out of sweet tea so I couldn’t get my fix and two… they have fried pickles that I didn’t see on the menu until after I ordered my food already. This just means I’ll have to come back!

Excellent BBQ, with awesome people! When they say they’ve got super hot sauce, that’s what you get! Definitely worth checking out!

We come here every time we are in Deland. Order at the counter but they bring it to your table. I have had all of the meats, cannot chose a favorite. The dirty taters and the sweet potatoes are super good. Great with my wife’s food allergies — decent price — clean — family friendly and ice cold beer.
Give it a shot — take it with you and you won’t have to cook.

I do not regret coming here… GPS could not find the other place I was going to try so I chose Porkies. Best, most juiciest chicken I have EVER had. I ordered the 3 meat combo and got sliced pork and ribs. Pork slices were thick and meaty. I thought the two pieces of ribs they gave me were small at first but they also had a good amount of meat to them and the flavor was excellent I did not even need sauce… Let’s talk sauce: They are made in house and the OMG stuff is just that… HOT HOT HOT. Also tried two from the table XXX and sweet hot. I put the sweet hot on my fries instead if ketchup. I came to DeLand for business and now will come back for pleasure… This is father/​son place so you know it’s good. You have to come and «smell their butts» … No I am not being nasty … It’s written on their entrance above the door ;O)

Just another local BBQ joint. Their chicken and salads are really good. Great prices.

If you like your food smoked with a strong taste then this is the place for you. If you’re used to sonny’s bbq without the strong taste than it isn’t for you. It’s not that it was bad, it’s just we don’t like the strong taste.

Came in on a Monday at 130 and ordered the two meat platter with brisket, ribs, summer slaw, corn bread and mac n cheese. The lady at the register says they don’t have brisket. WHAT!!! ISN’T THIS A BBQ PLACE? Couldn’t understand how they didn’t have any brisket. Settled on the chopped pork. Selection of sauces include sweet, hot, sweet and hot, carolina gold (mustard based) and some super hot sauces.
About 10.99 for this platter, if i remember correctly. Added in a drink and a slice of key lime pie, total was approximately 16.50. So I guess it can get kinda pricey for those of you (like me!) who like to eat.
I mixed sweetened tea with unsweetened tea and got the perfect ratio.
The carolina gold sauce was exactly what i wanted. but each table has a few of their sauces (Excluding the carolina gold for some reason) in case you wanna mix it up a bit.
Summer slaw was tangy and not dry. Mac and cheese was standard. The ribs were good — st louis style cut. the cornbread and the chopped pork were the best parts of my plate. i wasn’t able to finish everything, so i took the rest home.
all in all, the place is good. wish i could’ve tried their brisket. It’s a bit pricey for bbq and it wasn’t huge portions. I would eat here again if i was nearby and hungry, but i wouldn’t make a trip out there just to go back to this place.
it’s decked out with alabama roll tide stuff, so if that’s your thing you might enjoy this place. but no big TVs to watch the game. good amount of parking. cleanliness isn’t bad.

Almost made 4 stars! BBQ is my favorite eats! I am very particular in likes and dislikes. My credibility on Q is simple: I smoke something almost every week at my house using my pit or three other Grill/​smokers. I travel a lot and try BBQ EVERYWHERE I GO; from Jax, FL to Seattle, WA. Every major BBQ stronghold, I have either lived or spent a lot of time in the area: Deep South, Carolina, TN, TX, KS, MS, MI. So I am kinda picky, BUT love good Q
Had Jumbo Pulled Pork Sadwich, Dirty Taters, Brunswick Stew (ALWAYS TRY WHERE I GO IF OFFERED). Wife, regular same. Kiddo, ¼ Chicken dark meat, Mac n cheese, Blackeyed peas.
Pros: Pork had nice smoke ring, was pulled then choppped, so very hardy, but manageble. Large portion had a Kaiser type roll (very good). Pork was smoked nicely, had deep ring, but not OVER smoked. tasted like oak… smokey, but mild. Did not taste a flavorful rub on pork.
Chicken, dark meat. Very moist, mild smoke, skin still had a little snap, and wasn’t rubbery. Chicken was moist and tender. Not much seasoning on skin, which I like, but over all good
Dirty Taters are southern hash browns on steroids. Diced whole potatoes, seasoned, grilled onions, and cooked to perfection. Great seasoning and flavor.
Corn Muffins, tasty, moist, had corn… beyond the cornmeal. Lightly sweet, but not over done. great flavor.
Sauces appear to be made in joint.?. Nice variety, but none flipped my whig (I am virtually bald, so no whig, but still no flipping). Sweet, Mild, Hot Sweet, XXX, Carolina (Western, red, vinegar). They had some «side» sauces at counter (OMG, Hot,.so forth).
Cons: Black eyed peas, appeared to be the canned variety, but my little kid loved them. (Extra points).
Mac n’ Cheese… MEH!
Brunswick Stew was well,…ummmm not! i think I got a piece of sausage but that was it, had lots of canned tomatoes, and micro diced potatoes, not REALLY Brunswick Stew, more like a soup. To me, me only, a good Brunswick Stew, tells me you are committed to BBQ or seafood, depending on the State and the forte’. Every BBQ joint I have rated excellent has excellent Brunswick Stew.
Bottom line? Some of the NASTY reviews here are unwarranted and likely competitors. Staff was very friendly and went above amd beyond to make us happy. Sauces were tasty and portions pretty good (LEFT FULL). they had additional hidden treasures with home made pepper vinegar for greens and addtional «hot» sauces. Prices were great for food served! Give them a try!

Good BBQ — Came in for lunch didn’t really know what to expect I was very impressed from the start. Very friendly staff and solid customer service It really exceeded my expectations. Good value for the price.
Jumbo Brisket Sandwich — Very tender hand craved nice smoke flavor not over-​powering lean and moist very nicely done.
Dirty Potatoes — This a great side smothered with onions and cooked perfect tender with a nice texture great flavor.
Mac n Cheese — I thought this was excellent served piping hot macaroni cooked firm cheese had a great mild favor not over powering.
Sweet Hot BBQ Sauce — This was the only one I tried and it was great not too hot great viscosity solid sauce.
They also have the old pellet ice which you don’t see much anymore I love this in my drink great for crunching on lol. I am looking forward to returning to try a few other items. I highly recommend you try this place I don’t think you will be disappointed.
