Louis's BBQ Shack (Mims, FL)

Kyle's Order: Sliced Beef lunch basket w/ baked beans and fried okra.
Doop's Order: Sliced beef sandwich w/ baked beans and coleslaw.

Kyle's Take: Louis's BBQ Shack is almost a dialy ritual for locals in the Mims/Scottsmoor Area. Thus, it's usually crowded around lunch time......and dinner time.....and breakfast. The prices are reasonable, most being under $10. They used crushed ice in the sweet tea, which I must say.....CRUSHED ICE IS THE BEST ICE EVER! The beef was light and very tender, and the portion was generous as well. There are 4 BBQ sauces to choose from: Original, Hot & Spicy. Sweet and Bold, and Gold (Carolina style sauce). Service was nice and quick and to top it off they have free mints by the cash register. Can't beat that!

Doop's Take: I've been going to Louis' since they were called Porky's. Now that is a long time, and personally, it's one of my favorite restuarants in town. The friendly atmostphere inside makes the meal that much better. It is a little small so around lunch and dinner time it is impossible to find a seat, but if you get there at the right time, you could be the only person in the place. You can choose from a ton of side-orders. Personally, i'm a huge fan of their baked beans. Add some BBQ sauce to the beans and you have a party in your mouth. The drinks are served in huge to-go cups and you get free refills. Make sure you get the sweet tea. They brew it themselves so you know it is authentic and probably the best item on the menu. If you are the type that enjoys collecting souvenirs, they sell Louis' t-shirts for about $10 and they sell their brewed ice-tea. Louis's is a must stop if you are ever in the town of Mims, FL.

Kyle's Beef: The side portions aren't very big, and my okra was a little toasted. Maybe it was just me, but I swear the Original BBQ sauce resembled cocktail sauce.
Doop's Beef: The price is a little too high. My meal ended up being $9.65
