is cocoons bbq good? is somewhere else better?

Jim and Nick's does not cut the mustard. I am spoiled by my own ribs and those of small joints throughout the south. Good BBQ in Fla is scarce. Beach BBQ on 98 and Dan's in PCB is OK but I have not had ribs at either.

Smiling Joe gives Cocoons the thumbs up. I trust his taste. ;-)

I had one of the bbq sandwiches today, although I thought about getting today's special - a half order of bbq ribs with two sides for $6.99. good stuff.

Sometime around the beginning of July, we are having a BBQ Rib cookoff.

We've had the pulled pork barbecue from Cocoons & it was good!! As for JimN Nicks....they have 2 kinds of ribs....one is good and the other is not!!
I can't recall which is good....but if I find out I will post....We were just talking the other day about the need for a really good mom n pop barbecue spot!!
I never liked Corky's. Used to drive 36 miles round trip to get our favorite barbecue....outside of Nashville....

Well, you can have your mom n pop bbq spot if you are willing to fork over the cash for Cocoon's, which has been for sale for some time now. Only problem is that you will need to keep all of the customers and raise your prices to about $150 per BBQ sandwich.

The Corkys here in Memphis and Cordova has good barbecue. But I actually like the Showboats barbecue that has two locations here better than Corkys. But Memphis is known for its barbecue.

Tops might do well down there. They have good juicy drippy hamburgers also! Ribs! Barbecue chicken! What makes the barbecue good here is the yellow cole slaw, and of course, cannot forget the bbq sauce! Makes the sandwich!

Dan's Old South is what God serves in heaven. I would bathe in those beans. Good lord.

Where is this Kimmi? I made some quick chix BBQ to take with, but it is only so-so.

It's over in Panama City. It's right on 98 on the right side of the street. Not far, right before the old Bingo Hall. If you hit the Chateau Motel sign, you've gone too far. Jfunn actually knows better than I. I'll have her post more directions!

It has been talked about on here - it is on the south side before you get to Hwy 79.

Pigs Alley - a hole in the wall right on 98 before the outlet mall. Right after the shops in Sandestin. On the North side of the road - right after Footprints.

We had Cocoon's pulled pork bbq sandwiches for lunch a couple weeks ago and though they were quite good. It was the lunch special that day and one of the better deals around at $5.99 (I think) with chips and iced tea.

And of course their chicken, ribs and salads always make a great take-out dinner.

Dan's is on the corner of Cobb and Hwy 98. It is way too close to Mike's Diner on Front Beach Rd so I have never eaten at Dan's.

Is that before I turn off 98 to go to the airport?

Way before. It's not that far out.
I'll map it for you. Are you coming from Grayton I assume? I'll say coming from Rosemary. Stay tuned.

Yes, way before. The airport turnoff is east of the Hathaway Bridge which connects PCB to PC. Cobb Rd is west of Hwy 79, as Kurt mentioned, which is probably 10 miles west of the Hathaway Bridge.

So true. So true. Mr. Seagrover loves the stuff. They don't go very often but it's Dan's everytime.

Now I have no excuse for missing it!

Sometime around the beginning of July, we are having a BBQ Rib cookoff.

Keep us in the loop on the rib cook-off :boxing: we'll show you some true MEMPHIS style ribs that will leave you ing!

Closer to 30A is 98 Barbecue on, imagine this, Hwy 98, in one of the 2 shopping centers on the north side between 30-A and 393. The pork sandwich (only thing I've had there) is good. Plus, the owners are generous in their support of community events. :clap_1:

I have to admit there is no bar-b-que better than Tennessee bar-b-que. The first time I ordered a bar-b-que sandwich after moving to Kentucky, I just about fell out of my chair. The bar-b-que was chopped so fine and it was not on a bun but on toasted bread, (mashed thin).

Everything at Cocoons is good. they have really good breakfast (biscuits). I like 98 bbq too.
