The Red Top Pit Stop - Lakeland

Don't let the exterior fool you—this is the best brisket you'll ever taste! It practically melts in your mouth! We tried the grilled cheese brisket and the shotgun Philly, and both were fantastic. Your taste buds will definitely thank you!

This is a charming little BBQ spot on US Highway 98, just before Lakeland. The pulled pork was excellent!

Magnificent hideaway Barbecue joint.. staff is local and friendly, hometown diner with excellent selections.. Trump the Boss sandwich, is the best of the Beef world second to ribs. The pulled pork has my wife's loyalty and flavor, she don't order anything but.. The place is small and Very popular during rush lunch and dinner times..

If there is better BBQ in Central Florida, we haven’t found it yet. The food here is delicious. Worth a special trip. We’ll be back!

The restaurant offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with delicious food at reasonable prices. I tried the baby back ribs with fries and coleslaw, and everything was excellent. I would definitely give it 5 stars across the board! I even brought some leftovers home.
