Hidden Gem BBQ Spot in Okeechobee!
If you’re looking for the best BBQ in Okeechobee, look no further than Fat Johnny’s BBQ. This local, hard-to-find spot serves up amazing pulled pork sandwiches that are juicy, smoky, and full of authentic Southern flavor. The sides are just as good, with crispy seasoned fries, creamy coleslaw, and delicious baked beans that taste homemade.
We had Riley as our server, and she delivered 10-star service, friendly, attentive, and made sure our drinks stayed full and our meal was perfect from start to finish. The restaurant has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere with great food, cold drinks, and plenty of seating.
The only small suggestion I’d make is maybe switching to a milder cleaning product; the Fabuloso scent was strong. The BBQ deserves to be the first thing you smell!
Otherwise, this place is five stars all the way, with great food, great service, and a true local BBQ treasure in Okeechobee, Florida. We’ll definitely be back!

Family friendly very tasty BBQ. The ribs and chicken are very good. The rib was a bit dry but still flavorful. Slicing the sausage so thin is odd but tasty. The chicken wings are tasty and prepared well too! Enjoyed the generous portion of mozzarella sticks and delicious Mac and cheese and bowl as well. Wish the banana bread wafers were softer but still full of banana flavor. Save room for the cookies they are made I. House. The thing that makes this solid are the BBQ sauces. They are outstanding. One of the best things is Riley the server. What a wonderful and welcoming server. We will be back.

Brisket was good nothing special. Was kind of busy with 1 waitress. I had to wait an hour for my meal. There was 9 of us. 1 couple entered after us got their meal before us.

My husband and I just tried this place for the first time. It was very clean, the food was amazing (brisket egg rolls were on point!) and our server Riley was awesome! We’ll definitely be back!

Came to Fat Johnny’s BBQ and had a great experience. The waitress was attentive, fast, and efficient — all while smiling. The food came out quickly and tasted amazing. The whole environment was relaxing. The waitress knew I was on my work break, and she set everything up incase I couldn’t finish my food and needed to take it with me. I’ll definitely be returning and bringing the family. First time here, but definitely recommend “The Hammer”.

To help with the BBQ debate in Okeechobee, Fat Johnny’s was excellent. We had the brisket sandwich with 2 sides (fried okra and coleslaw) and the pulled chicken egg rolls with coleslaw. The meat was tender and tasty, the coleslaw had just the right amount of dressing. The cost was about $17 per with a drink. The place is clean and the service was excellent! Definitely worth trying!

We waited about 10-15 minutes to be seated, but no one seated us despite several employees saying they’d be right with us. No one else was waiting and there were several tables open. Sat at the bar for quicker service. Waited another 10-15 minutes for someone to get our drinks. The waitress gave us Walmart cookies they had displayed on the counter, to hold us over. ( She told us they were from Walmart) After waiting an 1 hour and 26 minutes we left. We had a long drive home. We never got a chance to try the food. Disappointing experience

If you’re craving amazing BBQ, in a casual, comfortable atmosphere Fat Johnny’s is the place to go! We we were just passing through and were lucky to come across this gem!
We ordered the pulled pork BBQ — I got the sandwich, and my husband had the dinner — and both were absolutely exceptional! The pulled pork was perfectly smoked, juicy, and tender, with that melt-in-your-mouth flavor true BBQ lovers appreciate. The fries were crispy, golden, and full of flavor, and the coleslaw was fresh and the perfect balance to the BBQ. Also, the fresh brewed ice tea was perfectly sweet.
Our waitress was wonderful — friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive — keeping our drinks full without us ever needing to ask.
Whether you’re a BBQ enthusiast or just hungry for a delicious meal served with genuine Southern hospitality, Fat Johnny’s should be at the top of your list!
