Bono’s Pit Bar-B-Q

I’m returning to the area after being away for almost 20 years. I’m so excited to see this is still in business and I can’t wait to eat there while visiting later this month. The mustard sauce they used to have has proved impossible to find in Oregon.

I’ve been there a few times. Never disappointed. Authentic, delicious, flavorful, plentiful, BBQ. Great selection of sauces to choose from. Love their slaw. Love their beans. Really love that bbq pork. Powerful good.
The dudes who work there are all really cool. Very friendly and make you feel welcome. Kid at the drive through last night was very personable and helpful. I wish I caught his name so that I could give him the credit he deserves for doing a great job. Kind of a blond haired dude I think.
Anyway, great BBQ spot. Love it.

Great service and atmosphere! Walking distance to the beach. Plenty of food for the price. Only thing I’d say is the food is cooked generic, without seasoning. If that was an option, I would have rated them a 5.

Fist time here and it’s pretty awesome so far, placed an order and I even asked if they had any Etta bones for my dog and they were more then happy to supply

I ordered 3 meat combo. Not the best barbeque in the area.

Manager responded to our email with gift certificate, have not gone back yet, but this good service should be mentioned. Thank You

The food was good if I had a choice I would definitely come back again. I recommend to try this place!

Food was good and service was better! The only reason it doesn’t get a 5 star is one thing. It’s kind of awkward eating at an establishment where none of the people working have facial hair. I mean not one person with a beard? Kind of weird if you ask me.

Had the beef brisket sandwich and asked for the ends. The sandwich comes on a Texas toast style bread which was good. The meat portion was sizable and the brisket was delicious. HOWEVER, there was a large amount of fat in this sizable portion. I generally enjoy eating the fat, but it was too much, and since I asked for chopped it was too much to pull out and set aside. Same for my friend who had a brisket plate… lots of fat chunks. Fries were OK, nothing to rave about. Enjoyed the numerous sauces and all were good. If the there hadn’t been so much fat I would give this a joint a four. Was a little pricey… $ 12 for a sandwich, fries and coke. Not sure how businesses will survive raising prices as the economy declines. I know their prices and taxes are going up. Damned if you do damned if you don’t. It’s probably why they were serving so much fat. There is an out of business fast food joint next door… looks like a Sonic… you know it’s bad when Sonics are closing. Hope this place makes it… they are better then Sonny’s for sure. No military discount… it’s one of the few places in town that doesn’t do that.

Decent BBQ. Nothing special. Meat was dry

Classic north Florida BBQ. Busting with flavor and oh so tender. That pit smoked chicken and brisket is soooooo good. This is not Texas style BarBQue (more greasy with sweeter sauces) and its not trying to be. This is classic North Florida style and I make a trip to Bono’s whenever I am in town. The meats are juicy and flavorful enough to eat on their own, but I usually mix in some Original Bono’s BBQ sauce (mustard based) as well. BBQ Perfection!
