Disappointed with the pulled pork. No smoke flavor or bark. Could have done a butt in the oven with the same results. B'que taste store bought. Guess I'll a trip to Alabama or Georgia to get some real BBQ

This little gem is the real deal for flavorful juicy Ribs and chicken. I highly recommend it everything on the menu is a great culinary experience sure to please your taste buds. Super friendly staff and very clean restaurant for dining in or take out. It's truly homemade and quality. My new place for Ribs.

Really disappointed. Been going there for years and yesterday they dropped the ball. Lost our order. Took forever. Catfish and Onion rings soggy. Seems like they no longer care.

If you know about this place, you go to this place. Hands down best barbecue in Highlands county. And I mean this. There's not even a close second.

As a BBQ lover, I really enjoyed the BBQ that was served to us. Please also try their other menus. The place is good. The servers were also friendly and approachable.

If you're in the Sebring or Lake Placid area and looking for great BBQ'ed ribs travel up to Avon Park and go to James Brown Famous Flames BBQ. I had been trying to find some place that BBQ'ed great ribs in the area. No luck, struck out time after time until I hit James Brown's rib shack. It reminded me of rib places in Miami and Ft. Lauderdale where there are many good places for ribs. I had the half rack with baked beans and cole slaw. Great ribs and sides.

And James Brown himself was there. He didn't dance but his ribs are a hit. Go there and visit, you'll be glad you did.

You can't beat anything about James Brown's Famous Barbecue. The food is way better and fresher and tastier than any of the big-named chain barbecue places. The people that work there including the man himself James Brown, are very very friendly very polite very nice to you as if you're family. You have to wait a little while for your food because they're making it to order for you after you place your order and it's well worth it. Sometimes I take it home and sometimes I eat there just so I can relax and be comfortable and when I eat there I find it to be a very friendly homey atmosphere.
