***** Hilltop BBQ of Ocala, 5848 South Pine Avenue, Ocala, Florida 34480, (352) 620-0684.

Got a real good “takeout” bbq joint for you…Hilltop BBQ of Ocala in Ocala. No inside seating- The joint does have a handful of outside picnic tables so you can eat there like Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did.

Real simple…delicious smoked pulled pork- brisket- baby back ribs. Just so you know, Jeff Eats isn’t a huge fan of “smoked” stuff- that said, Hilltop’s SMOKED is sort of like The 3 Bears- you know the deal- just right! Hilltop also makes 3-bbq sauces mild/medium/hot- and I gotta tell you the “mild” was right on the money-with just the exact amount of sweetness for this Brooklyn boy’s trained palate.

Hilltop BBQ is open Tuesday-Saturday 11am-7pm, closed Sunday-Monday.
