Used to be the Name in local barbeque. However, place seems a little unkempt (not up to snuff in sanitation?) Food is ok - often long waiting lines during the dinner hours.

Just a local joint that serves up some great food in a relaxing environment! The frog legs are plump and juicy, the ribs wet and succulent. Friendly staff and a great bar! Winner!

There iare no better barbecued ribs around. The have nice Sunday dinner specials and good lunch specials. A nice bread basket accompanies every meal that included black bread, rye, and white rolls with lots of butterl My favorite is to order their chicken livers with 2 kinds of sauces. It is supposed to be an appetizer for 2 or more... More

We visited Norris's in Port St. Lucie for my birthday dinner. We arrived around 3:30 and the place was not too busy. We ordered the onion loaf which wasn't too bad but not a lot of flavor and the pink horseradish sauce was a little weird, mainly because of the color. We really would have liked a remoulade sauce. We... More

We ate there last night, prime rib was ice cold, masked potatoes were instant, vegetables bland. We asked for meal to be heated up, our medium prime rib returned very well done. We asked waitress to remove the meal and this was indeed the worst we ever had. They refunded the meal, loess the coke and ice tea. Unsweetened ice... More

Ordered take-out tonight. Unfortunately our kids are nuts and are sometimes tough in a restaurant so atmosphere and service cannot really be reviewed. The ribs were falling off the bone tender and flavorful. The price was very competitive and cheaper than in our hometown. Highly recommend them.

Ordered the house speciality, 'baby back ribs'. Whilst they were tender and well cooked, they lacked any trace of BBQ flavour. Even the table BBQ sauce was bland. Perhaps some people prefer their ribs this way. Service was okay but we dined on a deadly quiet night so can't hold the restaurant responsible for lack of atmosphere.

I live in NC, but visit family in the area. This is my second time here. The first was two years ago for dinner. This visit was at lunch. The ribs are well-seasoned and tender. I would prefer smokier and more plentiful sauce cooked on the ribs (The caramelization of the sugars in the sauce as it cooks gives the... More

A good old standby for bbq. ribs and chicken. Sides include great tasting baked beans as well as a large sweet potato. Their baby back ribs are tasty and plentiful. If you want a really good bbq. chicken try the dark meat! The bartender mixes a great manhatten as well. Don't forget to ask for bread. The servers are well... More
