we liked it--real smoked meats and excellent sides. we had high expectations because of all the good reviews and made a special trip to have lunch. we liked it, didn't love it but the service and the prices and choices could not be beat.
my husband and i split the charlie's combo and got ribs, beef and pulled pork. the pulled pork had great smoke flavor but was a little dry; some of the house bbq sauce from the squeeze bottle and it was tastier. husband thought theribswere the most flavorful; i agreed. they came off the bone nicely and were tinged pink from the hickory smoker. the beef was tender but not very flavorful. the sides were excellent: husband and 10 yr old devoured the mashed potatoes and gravy. the texas garlic toast was great, the creamy cole slaw was great. hush puppies were hot, fresh and large--because of their size, they were a little dense to the bite. son had chicken tenders and fries which seemed about par for the course. (he filled up on the fresh mash and garlic toast.)
overall, we'd give this place a thumbs up. low key and authentic with friendly service, just the way we like it when we come to visit satellite beach! next time we will try the key lime pie which they tout as made with real key limes.
skip the chains and fast food and try a real, home-down restaurant next time you are on the space coast.
