Boca BBQ Express (Boca Raton)
***** Boca BBQ Express, 9704 Clint Moore Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33496 (561) 482-3227.
Wanna know about a terrific bbq joint before anyone else?…say hello to Boca BBQ Express which has been open for something like 10 days.
For sure, this eat-in/take-out joint is still working-out the kinks…but no question in my mind, the food is right on the money. Unlike many joints, “smoke” ain’t the game here and that’s just fine with me. The grilled 1/2 bbq chicken and rack of babyback ribs I sampled were excellent. I also thought that the sweet potato mash, french fries and corn muffins were A-OK.
Boca BBQ’s menu isn’t enormous…but, I assure you that you will find enough appetizers, salads, sandwiches, burgers, chicken-meat-seafood entrees to keep you plenty busy. As for price…that full rack of babybacks with 2-sides will set you back 20 bucks and that 1/2 bird with 2-sides goes for $13.
Like I said before, “no smoke” here…the stuff is grilled and then basted with 1-of-3 sauces…the joint has a “house bbq”…a spicy/sweet bbq…and a tropical pineapple bbq. Just so you know, I tried the house and spicy/sweet sauces (to my delicate palate they tasted the same) and I loved the flavor…think Bobby Rubino’s, Shorty’s or Tony Roma’s and you’ll know where I am coming from.
BBQ is a tough call…that’s why there isn’t a national bbq chain. Every region likes “their” ribs prepared a different way. My preference, gas grilled ribs slathered in a sweet bbq sauce.
If you are on the same-page as I am, you will want to give this joint a try.
Boca BBQ Express is open Sunday-Thursday 11am-10pm and Friday-Saturday 11am-11pm.
Takeout tonight. First time. Full rack of St. Louis Ribs and whole bbq chicken both covered in house bbq sauce. Also got corn niblets, sweet potato fries. Have eaten bbq all over Dade, Broward and Palm Beach, this was the best I have had in a long time. Ribs were not the usually stringy or fatty crap and the chicken was as moist as can be. Boca BBQ a winner.
I have eaten at Boca BBQ Express several times since they opened in my neighborhood (West Boca) and I am glad that you liked it. We really needed aplace like this around here and this fills the script. BBQ can be enjoyed a lot of different ways you are right, that’s why I like the choice of sauces. The only thing I can’t figure out is how you couldn’t tellthe difference between the house and the sweet and spicey. The S & S really lingers with a nice heat that I have not had before in BBQ. So I give them “two thumbs up” (because I am licking them), and thanks for the great review we need this place to stay… I heard beer & wine sales are coming soon.
Heard about this one through your site. Loved it. Thanks.
Great find. Excellent bbq ribs and chicken. Terrific sides and those corn nibblets are worth the price of admission alone.
Really liked the pineapple tropical bbq sauce. The pulled pork is some of the best I’ve ever had and the wings are really tasty. The braised greens and mashed sweet potatoes really finish off the dish. Keep the quality coming and you’ll do fine. You know no one here in Boca wants to cook!!! Best of Luck to you all.
took food out this past sunday. good ribs, good grilled chicken and loved the corn nibblets. saw that the owner has your writeup in the window. nice find.

Closed. No BBQ joint has a prayer using gas and not smoke. This is the South(believe it or not)
Boca BBQ closed due to the new ownership/new management that purchased it in mid July. So bummed to see it gone!!
