The Best Barbecue Near Seagar's Prime Steaks & Seafood, by the Record

The smoke hits you before the parking lot does. This Miramar Beach counter-service barbecue joint runs Texas-style, meaning you queue, order, and wait for your name while the pit does the talking. The green chili cheese sausage is the thing to get, a fat link studded with peppers and molten cheese pockets. Smoked turkey with black pepper rub and a baked potato casserole round out a tray that makes the drive from anywhere on the Emerald Coast feel like a reasonable idea.
