Papa Joe's Drive In

Update: I recently returned to Papa Joe's after a hike, and once again, the food did not disappoint. The pork was tender and packed with smoky flavor, and the fried pickles were cooked perfectly. My only complaint is that it's not closer to home!

Papa Joe's has been a roadside staple here for years with excellent, freshly prepared food and great customer service. Their BBQ meats are delicious and served with ample side items. The outdoor patio is comfortable and spacious surrounded by lovely oak trees.

Our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and got too much food. But everything was excellent like the pulled pork sandwich, shrimp tacos right down to the sides of corn nuggets and fried okra. Oh, and the onion rings rule.....I'm going back for ice creamafter a nap. View menu

Always great food, I especially loved their Christmas tree shakes they served during the holidays. Food is fresh, takes a bit of a wait for your meals but it's a Mom and pop stop. But hey! They're good at what they do. If you're in town stop in they've gotsome good munchies to enjoy.

Very good food. Burgers seemed fresh, made to order. Onion rings were good, whole onions. The Redneck Fries were delicious, Fries with cheese sauce, BBQ sauce on the side, and pulled pork. Nice outside dining area, covered with picnic tables and 4chair tables. We 'll be back for sure.

Drove from Ocala just to have lunch here. Fantastic food! The pork Tacos are wonderful (that's what made us come back) redneck fries are pretty good as well. Very reasonably priced! If you're looking for something different definitely give them a try, thescenery is beautiful along the way. View menu

The food here is excellent. The burgers tasted fresh and made to order. The onion rings were tasty and made with whole onions. The Redneck Fries were particularly delicious, topped with cheese sauce, BBQ sauce on the side, and pulled pork. There's a lovely outdoor dining area that features picnic tables and tables with four chairs, all under cover. We'll definitely be coming back!

Papa Joe's was a nice surprise. Food was hot and fresh. Portions were of decent size. The fried pickles were pretty darn good(extra crispy). Pulled pork was tender and moist.. Only reason for the 4 stars is because of the drinks. All ice nodrink. Update: I recently visited Papa Joe's after a hike. I will have to say the food never disappoints. Pork was tender andfull of smokey flavor. Fried pickles were cooked to perfection. The only complaint I have is that it's not closer to home..

Good barbecue. The hamburger is very big and the big foot hamburger is massive I'm told, of course I've never seen it in person. Only in photos. The items are a la cart so keep that in mind. You get a lot for the price you pay, along with the quality. The pork sandwich is great, add in the bbq sauce and it's fantastic. The fries are good, regular bag fries but you get a lot of them. It's a must if you're spending the weekend out at the lake. The seating area is good giving you a picnic style seating arrangement, but do be ready to wait as the food is prepared fresh. It's best to call ahead and show up about 10 minutes before the time they give you. Some of the reviews complain about the roug... View menu
