South Florida Based Fast Food Joint Is Best In The Sunshine State
South Florida Based Fast Food Joint Is Best In The Sunshine State
We’ve got some pretty good options for fast food here in southwest Florida, but I have to agree that this favorite is cluckin’ delicious. Sorry, I had to.
The crew over at Food + Wine put together their list of the best fast food in every state and in Florida it’s PDQ. These chicken fingers are one of my personal favorites, dipped in the buffalo blue sauce, perfection.

PDQ is a pretty new concept when we’re talking fast food. The Tampa based chicken stop is famous for their fresh chicken and phenomenal sauces. I mentioned the buffalo blue, but the creamy garlic and chipotle pepper barbecue sauces are tasty too! And if you’re looking for beef, you won’t find it here. While the menu is only chicken, there are salads and sandwiches to choose from, with a variety of sides, including healthy options. You can read the complete list from Food + Wine here.
The 20 Best BBQ Restaurants In Southwest Florida – Ranked
It was back in 2022 when I made this list, and then followed it up in 2023. Now, let’s make the needed edits to show the best BBQ restaurants In Southwest Florida for 2024. Because great bbq is worth the drive, we’ll expand outside of Naples, Fort Myers, and Cape Coral, and include some spots in the Sarasota and Bradenton areas. Brand new to the list is a spot on Anna Maria Island.
Fans of great bbq are fiercely loyal to their favorites. That’s why I took the conjecture out of it. By using an algorithm based on rankings from Trip Advisor, We are able to rank the top bbq restaurants in Southwest Florida. Yes, there’s some chains in here with more than one location, but if it’s amazing, maybe that’s why they have more than one location. Makes sense?
For as much as some people want to bash on Rib City, they’re always busy. And why does one Michelbob’s rank higher than the other? I’m guessing it’s location.
The Best BBQ Restaurants.
Personally, some of the best bbq I’ve ever had came from my neighbor Keith. But not everyone has the skill or the all day long needed to make amazing bbq. What that man can do with a bag of chicken thighs is otherworldly.
The best bbq restaurants on this list vary from chain restaurants to family run giant smoker in the parking lot mom and pops. Not gonna lie. Those are my favorites. You can smell them as you roll up into the parking lot. There’s a few of those on the list.
And don’t @ me if you don’t like the selections, I used Trip Advisor’s math to create this list. I’ll make the address linkable so you can read more about the place, and get directions and all that. Hurricane Ian really rattled the past couple of lists, but I think most of places are back up to full speed. You can @ me if there’s any places that are closed. And just to end the suspense, the McDonald’s McRib did not make the list. Why do people always get so excited about that thing?
