Review

Stopped by for a chat with Dennis Brock today, owner of Brock’s Smoke Hut. Great guy – and genuine smoke hound. He’s a competition judge here in FL, and his restaurant is one of two Florida Barbecue joints recognized by the National Barbecue News.

Dennis buys quality pork spare ribs and Boston Butts from IBP, and smokes them to perfection using no seasoning or rub at all. Nope – just the pork, steady 225 heat from his Southern Pride Smoker, and Live Oak wood. He likes the rougher bark live oak because he says it smokes better, has a subtle smoke taste, and is readily available here in Central Florida.

95% of Brock’s business is carry out. There’s a great covered seating area in back if you want to hang out and eat your grub.

Dennis Brock – Owner -He’s serious about good BBQ!

Low and Slow Baby, This Southern Pride Smoker is set to a perfect 225 degrees F.

Live Oak Wood Smoke – and a propane fed flame.

Lip smackin’ smoked goodness – almost ready! Can’t wait!

Winter Haven Barbecue Prices That Cant’ Be Beat!

• $15.00 Slab of Pork Spare Ribs
  
• $7.99 BBQ Dinners – Ribs, Pulled Pork, Turkey, Sausage, etc.

No Rub, Sauce, or Seasoning Here… just plain Live Oak Smoke! Mmm… this is some of the best BBQ you’ll eat anywhere. And it’s right here in Winter Haven, FL!

So, If you’re in the Central Florida area – maybe traveling down Highway 27 – stop by Brock’s Smoke Hut.

You’re mouth will thank you!

Brock’s Smoke Hut is a great local Polk County, Florida BBQ story, as it was started by Dennis Brock, a down home boy from way back.  I’ve very excited about talking with him about what he’s done with Brock’s Smoke Hut, its ties to the local community, and his success as a local businessman.

Some Basic Facts about Dennis Brock and the Smoke Hut

While attending college, the founder, Dennis Brock, took employment in the theme park business at Florida’s Cypress Gardens. Starting out in customer service in 1970, Dennis stayed with the company throughout Anheuser-Busch’s tenure. In 1995, Dennis Brock along with 5 other partners purchased Cypress Gardens from Anheuser-Busch. In 2003, Cypress Gardens was sold and Mr. Brock retired.

In 2003 Dennis and his long term partner, Bob Kehoe opened a Purina Distributorship in Winter Haven, FL. Also that same year Dennis opened his next business, Brock’s Smoke Hut. The next five years proved to be a successful venture. The success lead to the franchise opportunities of Brock’s BBQ Co., LLC.

So, stay tuned.  Dennis has agreed to open the doors and show us what it takes to produce high quality smoked barbecue on the local level – where it counts.  No tricks, just good old fashioned hard work!
