Crave BBQ at Hall’s on 5th

Crave BBQ does the fundamentals right: low-and-slow meat, house-made sides, and a bread pudding that apparently justifies the drive to Apopka. The 4.8-star rating across 405 reviews suggests this isn't hype—people genuinely plan return visits. It's unpretentious neighborhood BBQ, not a destination trap.

Friday or Saturday evening when they stay open until 10 PM and the kitchen's been running all day—the smoke ring on the brisket will be at its peak, and you won't feel rushed.

Order the bread pudding before you finish your main. Reviewers consistently mention running out or regretting they didn't get seconds; it's not a throwaway dessert.
