Kyle's Order: Small Pork Sandwich on Garlic Bread, Mac & Cheese, Patty's Baked Beans and Sweet Tea. ($9.04)
Doop's Order: Small sliced Turkey Sandwich w/ potato salad, cole slaw, and Sweet Tea ($9.04)


Kyle's Take: I never even knew this little BBQ joint was there until I saw a billboard for it on US1 in Cocoa. It is definitely a small place, there are only 4 high tables in the inside, and a few picnic tables for outside dining. For such a small place, they had quite an a assortment of items to choose from. My pork sandwich was delicious and also a good sized sandwich for being the small version. The pork itself had tons of flavor even without sauce. After a few bites I smothered it in the hot sauce just to try it and it was actually pretty hot. The mac and cheese was really cheesy which im a big fan of, but it somewhat lacked in flavor. Patty's Baked Beans on the other hand were extremely flavorful. The beans included pork and onions, just amazing. The service was very friendly, you could tell it was a family run business. Maybe I was just really hungry but I'm sure I'll definitely be back to Rax By The Trax BBQ again soon, next time to try the fried pickles or sweet potato casserole!

Doop's Take: Who would go out in the middle of a tropical storm to each Barbecue? Kyle and I would. Surprisingly, Rax was open in Port St. John, so we got in Kyle's car and headed down there. On the outside, you might think this place is pretty big, but actually, it's not. They have a seating area outside, but BBQ in 40mph winds... not such a good idea. So we walk in and on your right there is this huge menu board. We ordered our food and waited. The staff is very friendly as locals came in and chatted with the owner. The portion of the food was pretty good for being a small sandwich. The turkey was pretty moist, but the downfall was that i was only able to get 1 out of 3 sauces they had. So, i ended up with the mild sauce, which was very good! The side items are kept in a cooler. The cole slaw is pretty good, I believe it is not home made though. The potato salad though, that was home made and very good. Probably could have used a bit more mayonnaise, but still anything homemade is good!!! If you are in a hurry or you fell like BBQ in a hurry, RAx by the Traxx is the perfect place for you!

Kyle's Beef: Not alot of sitting area. The mac and cheese, although very cheesy, needed a little something more to it.
Doop's Beef: Very small inside and the fact that you can only choose 1 kind of sauce.
