Listen! I’ve had some great bbq in my years on this earth being from Texas but my wife grabbed us a couple plates tonight and it truly surprised us both at how good it was. The brisket was out of this world, the Mac n cheese was excellent and the chicken was phenomenal. Great job 850 BBQ

I had the chance to try 850 Barbecue at Food Truck Friday in Crestview, and it was hands down one of the best barbecue experiences I’ve ever had. I ordered the 4 Meat Plate and the Mac Attack Bowl, and everything was absolutely incredible. The brisket was the standout, the most flavorful and tender I’ve ever had, with a perfect bark and not a hint of dryness. The pulled pork was smoky and juicy, the spare ribs were fall-off-the-bone with amazing seasoning, and even the chicken thighs (which can be tricky to keep moist) were cooked to perfection. Honestly, nothing on the plate disappointed, every bite was tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. The Mac Attack Bowl was comfort food heaven, with rich, creamy mac and cheese loaded up with smoked meat. The "Smoked Tallow Noodles" were incredible! The portions were also generous enough to easily feed 2 people and at $15 is a great value! On top of the food, the people running 850 BBQ were friendly, welcoming, and super accommodating. I was actually the guy who ordered right when their food truck got hit and broke a pipe that night, and even in the middle of dealing with that, they handled it with professionalism and kindness. The food came out in approximately 5 minutes which was insanely fast, especially when compared to other food trucks. I’ll definitely be back for more and look forward to seeing them again at Food Truck Friday! The food, the service, and the experience all live up to their motto: “It’ll change ya life.” EDITED - They recently changed the price for the Mac Attack Bowl from $15 to $18 and the portions seemed slightly smaller, more geared towards a single person instead of two. Still a wonderful dish but less of a value unfortunately.

Unbelievable brisket, chicken thighs and pulled pork. Sauces were delicious and the arnold palmer was great. Could not recommend enough. UPDATE: ordered the banana pudding and it was simply outrageous. I was blown away by how good it was.

I stopped by to visit my favorite bbq family today. I chose ribs, brisket, beans & Mac. I told Stephen I couldn't think of adequate adjectives to describe the experience. Their passion for the craft is obvious with every bite. NO "run of the mill" flavors in anything. Sides are amazing and unique. Brisket is fall apart tender and the ribs, well, EXCELLENT also. You owe it to yourself to try 850 BBQ, you'll be a repeat customer! Tell em Ron sent you.😁👍

If you’re hunting for Texas quality BBQ in the panhandle, this is it and nothing else comes close! My wife and I have been seeking some good BBQ in the area after coming from Texas and although it was tough to make our schedule work with the hours of the food truck, it was very very well worth it. We got a three meat plate of brisket, spare ribs, and turkey. All three were the best we’ve had in Florida and on par with the top places we’ve had in Texas. Not pictured are two pork belly burnt ends which were the best I’ve had (even better than the one’s I’ve babied myself on my own smoker I’m embarrassed to say.) I’m not particular excited about BBQ sides myself normally, but the mac n’ cheese and the watermelon salad were both excellent as well. The owner is a master scholar of his craft and takes his BBQ seriously. We will most certainly be coming back!
