BBQ!! Get’s your attention every time. This week Buddha and I had the pleasure of visiting the long time fix for BBQ in Melbourne, Charlie & Jake's on Eau Gallie Blvd beachside. Greeted by the always smiling Linzi the owner and glue that hold C&J together, she has been raised in the true profession of BBQ. Remember way back to 1988 when C&J was on Ocean Ave. in Melbourne Beach?
Well they have been at the new location for twenty years and even on a Monday night this little establishment is doing a terrific dinner. The reason for that one word, Simplicity. Just great food at a good price. Buddha and I were taken in the back to see how this operation worked, I was really impressed with the over all cleanliness of the place and the high tech BBQ ovens with stacks of cut hickory ready to smoke the 900 or so pounds of ribs they prepare every week.
Over at the dishwasher station there was Linzi working hard and still smiling. In a family business there is no I in Team. We were served an assortment of the menu, BBQ chicken St. Louis style BBQ ribs and smoked pork. To go along with our feast was hushpuppies with a honey dip, real onion rings and my daughters favorite fried pickles. The chicken was juicy with a nice smoky flavor, the ribs were fall off the bone delicious and the pulled pork phenomenal! I had to make a sandwich with the garlic bread!
In the Holiday season everyone is running around trying to juggle everything at once, well here’s the solution for dinner. Just call ahead and come through the drive thru and sample the best BBQ in town, give Mom a break and order one of their smoked turkeys. They also cater, Just give Linzi a call.
We want to thank Ashley (Blond) and Ashley (Brown) and let’s not forget Rose for taking such good care of us. Charlie & Jake's has a full menu and a kid‘s menu also. So when you need that fix for BBQ Charlie & Jakes is the place and don’t forget to tell them Kapn’ Bone sent you.
