Peebles Bar-B-Q

Since 1947, Peebles Bar-B-Que in Auburndale has been mastering exceptional barbecue and part of their secret includes a huge smoke pit. This family owned and operated barbecue restaurant was even featured in Garden & Gun Magazine.

Old Florida Bar-B-Que

You’ll find large portions of flavorful barbecue in an Old Florida setting that includes a screened-in eating area and indoor picnic tables. Located just off the Polk Parkway in Auburndale, Peebles is easily accessible from Lakeland or Winter Haven.

Small Menu and Big Portions

Peebles knows exactly how to use a smaller-than-average menu to their advantage. By no means is their menu lacking, rather, they offer about 15 items which have been perfected. Seconds after your first bite, you understand that the quality of this food is a top priority here. Unlike the traditional BBQ restaurant, this charming shack offers plates with half a pound of meat, and if you are extra hungry or have many mouths to feed, you can order take-out by the POUND.

Options include chicken, chopped pork, sliced beef, sausage links, pork ribs, and more. Baked beans, potato salad, and coleslaw come with your meat option, so enjoy all three and remember to top it off with their signature barbecue sauce. Recently Peebles added loaded baked potatoes to their menu and they are huge!

Seasonal Hours

Satisfy your cravings before or after summer because Peebles closes during the months of July and August.
