Red-Eye's Git-N-Messy Smokehouse Sanford Fl.

The place serves first-rate bbq. It was half-full around 5pm, but then gets pretty busy, while hosting a poker league, reserving a section of the restaurant for that activity. Outside seating is available as well. Service was a bit slow, but very friendly. Cocktail selection could be improved.

The barbeque was fantastic. Best I have had in Orlando so far. Jim the pitmaster was awesome. Came out to out table and talked with us for a while and showed us his whole set up! Super friendly! They have homemade sweet, spicy and Carolina style Barbecue sauces which were all great. The ribs were very good. We also tried the jalapeno sausage which was well worth it!

As someone who travels and loves bbq this place wasn't that bad. It has some good stuff and not-so-good stuff. The brisket was a 4 out of 5..it had a nice flavor and was very moist. The ribs were a 2 out of 5...they were overcooked. They fell off the bone which is not a great sign of a great cooked rib. The pulled pork was a 2 out of 5...it was moist but lacked a depth of flavor. The green beans were 4 out of 5...they were very well seasoned and had a good flavor. The mac-n-cheese was a 3 out of 5...it was very cheesy but didn't have a tone of flavor or creaminess. The Brunswick stew was a 1 out of 5...it had no flavor and didn't have a thick gravy-type broth. It was surely not the stew I grew up on. The star of the meal was by far the Banana Pudding. It was a 5 out of 5 for me. It was creamy and full of bananas...???????????? My overall experience was a good one and I'll be back to try more items on this menu!
