If Google hadn't sent me this thing about Micanopy Florida, I never would have found Pearl country store and the wonderful food here. I got the jumbo brisket sandwich and french fries. My husband got the combo two ribs and beef brisket with potato salad...Read More

Don't judge a book by its cover. This place looks like a small southern hometown gas station, so pay attention, or you'll miss it. It has a very homey atmosphere in the restaurant and it's always busy. Busy because the food is mindblowingly good. The...Read More

Great BBQ. Most BBQ overcharge for smaller portions, not this place! Friendly service, and awesome food. The coleslaw was vinegar based, and unlike any I had ever had before. 10/10

The "Best" BBQ around. We travel from Citrus County, FL to eat at Pearl Country Store & BBQ. The Beef Brisket is delicious and seasoned perfectly. Melts in your mouth. Husband loves the Pulled Pork. Love the collared greens too.

Best Barbecue in Florida and you’d never know it driving by. Consistently delicious and friendly-ish service. The ribs are top tier and their house sauces have great flavor. We stop any time we are passing by on I-75.

Very cool local spot with an old-school country vibe. BBQ is tasty, with plenty of homemade sides. The lady at the counter was also saucy, which made it a genuine experience for me.

Great place for barbecue. Noticed out of town visitors. Worth the short drive. Located in Micanopy(pronounced, me-can-no-pee,also origins of English derived word,"dam(n)),which is a great place also. PIcked up coconut patties that are delicious.

Congratulations, you've discovered the best BBQ you'll be lucky to find anywhere. Everything on their menu is amazing! It's one of north Florida's best kept secrets. Just a little over 10 mins off of I-75 on 441. It's worth the pit stop! If you've passed...Read More

Great bbq - had the meat lovers combo which included pulled pork, brisket, and a quarter chicken with two sides. Sauces were very good. Table service ended at 6 - take out closed at 7pm. Nice picnic area available outside. Worth the drive.
