Looking for some scrumptious Florida BBQ in West Palm Beach? What about at a BBQ spot with a James Beard Semifinalist pitmaster? If you answered yes to either of those questions, then I’m taking you over to Tropical Smokehouse, a Florida barbecue spot that has been making waves in the culinary community. This West Palm Beach eatery bills itself as casual Florida barbecue, and at the helm is chef Rick Mace. For anyone that says Florida doesn’t have its own barbecue – Tropical Smokehouse is here to change your mind.
Are you ready for award-winning craft barbecue in Florida? Welcome to Tropical Smokehouse in West Palm Beach.
A chef who recently made the semifinalist list of James Beard nominations is at the helm of this delicious spot. The James Beard Awards celebrate culinary excellence in the United States, recognizing top chefs, restaurants, and food professionals for their outstanding contributions to the industry.
Recently dubbed the best locally-owned restaurant in Florida by Southern Living, it’s easy to see why this has become a coveted spot with just one meal.
The menu is bursting with bbq greats - from juicy sausages and sweet pulled pork to certified Angus Beef Prime Brisket, doused in a coffee-infused barbecue sauce.
Chef Mace uses the best of the best when it comes to smoking his protein - a 500-gallon smoker. This gem is what gives all the best flavor to fan-favorite menu items depending on the season.
Also, it wouldn’t be an award-winning barbecue place without some sides, right? Indulge in Caribbean slaw, smokey black beans, crispy yuca, white cheddar Mac, collard greens, and much more.
And for any visitor who doesn’t want anything to do with barbecue, you’ll still be able to feast. Try the old-fashioned hamburger or the crispy fish sandwich.
