Psst !!! I have a secret-Weston's Smokehouse
i HOPE THE ADMINISTRATOR/MODERATOR WILL LEAVE THIS POST AT THIS LOCATION FOR A WHILE. Because the Villagers love eating out, this forum is the best way to get a message to a lot of people. Today my wife and I stumbled on a best kept secret in dining in the area. I had heard this restaurant was as good if not better than the BBQ found at the Oakwood Smokehouse. The Smokehouse is fantastic, and this restaurant surely is as good if not better. WESTONS SMOKEHOUSE at less than a year since opening on 301 at the north edge of Wildwood has wonderful BBQ along with a full menu, this includes smoked prime rib on a designated night. WESTONS also do catering. We had pulled pork sandwiches, the meat portion was at least a half pound of delicious BBQ. Give these young owners the opportunity to serve you, you will surely aree with me.

Glad you liked it. Maybe they've improved from the time I tried them, but they lost me when their ribs were all fat, no meat.
|
I stopped there for the first time about 2 weeks ago for lunch and thought they did a real good job also.
|
My husband and brother-in-law "discovered" Weston's too. They love the place. Don had a prime rib sandwich that he said melted in his mouth. I haven't had the honor of going yet, but I will take their recommendation, along with your's, that they have good food at good prices.

Always looking for good BBQ that is not too fatty~

I'll definitely try it again. |
i didn't like it and will never go back. Besides the brisket they served that was 90 percent fat, the mashed potatoes were prepared in a food processor (can't fool me - they have the consistency of damp plaster.)
|
Biggest secret? Several months ago we got food to go from Westons. What I got I sincerely hope was not the norm, but an exception to the rule as it was the absolute worse rib meal (quality and taste wise only) I've ever had since moving to TV, and I can even extend that to include any restaurant in the immediate TV area. I don't know if I'll ever be able to make myself order from there again, especially with what (IMHO) I feel are a number of other excellent BBQ places available!
|
Not really a secret!!! We tried it once and that was enough. Too many good BBQ places around compared to Weston's.

I think this is another example of some like it some don't.
All restaurant postings are worthless. You have to experience the restaruant yourself. How can half the people like a particular place and the other half will "never go back"? I think posters on TOTV closed Oshays Sports bar on 44....................... |

As for O'Shea's, I think the manager had a couple problems he needed to address and didn't. |

Home - T. Weston's T Weston’s Smokehouse opened in downtown Wildwood in February, and the response is definitely smoking hot. At T Weston’s you’ll find only the freshest, highest quality meat including mouthwatering St. Louis Style ribs, Wagyu beef brisket, and pulled pork’. Owners Tracy and Aileen Smith are residents of Wildwood that wanted to bring their passion for upscale BBQ to their hometown. The Smiths are members of the Florida BBQ Association and have perfected their one-of-a-kind recipes and techniques traveling around the state competing in high level cook off competitions.
T Weston’s is situated in downtown Wildwood in the former home of what many consider to be a Wildwood BBQ landmark. The building sat empty for several years until the Smiths purchased it in 2012 and began work on a full scale renovation. Residents of the Wildwood area stopped in frequently throughout the building process curious to see what was going on. T Weston’s opened for take-out in late February to an eager community, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “It is so gratifying for us to see customers enjoy the food, atmosphere, and visit us again with their family and friends,” said Tracy and Aileen. Lunch and dinner are served in the warm and welcoming dining room or can be called ahead and picked up at a convenient to-go window. Guests are also welcome to visit the beautiful bar area to enjoy our selection of fine beer and wine. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, The Smiths have quickly pinpointed the secret ingredients to success recognizing that it takes more than just a passion for food to make it in the challenging restaurant industry. Operating a restaurant and building a thriving business requires totally different skills and expertise that they have acquired with over 16 years of business experience and running their other successful business Landscape Productions LLC. - See more at: About Us - T. Weston's My guess would be you are both correct. The take-out portion opened for business in late-February. I would guess the sit down portion opened, like they told you, two months later. |

Ann and I heard the folks at Weston's Smokehouse were offering Lamb chops and sea scallops tonight so we made our way to their door about 6:00 PM. On arrival we noticed there was only one parking spot left and we took it. As we entered the smokehouse was jumping, lots of folks, talking, laughing, eating, and just enjoying being out with friends and family with a good meal.
Tracey the Chef does not offer sea scallops and lamb chops all the time, every now and then Tracey does add new items to the menu and you have to hear about it from the regulars or by going to their web site, but when new items are offered, they are fantastic and the regulars show up in numbers. Those who just happen to drive by and stop in are lucky and get to try new items or the regular items. Home - T. Weston's The four smoked lamb chops were cooked just right, were the right cut and size, juicy, perfect smoke ring and tasted and looked great. Ann and I could not make up our minds on what we were going to eat. Ann was there for the lamb chops, but when the server mentioned sea scallops Ann could not decide between the two so she ordered the sea scallops and I ordered the lamp chops and we shared. The five sea scallops wrapped in bacon were large, and cooked just the way Ann and I like them, toss in the wine, ice tea, bread, mashed potatoes, broccoli, collard greens, and a house salad with blue cheese dressing and we were stuffed. While waiting on our food we talked with each other and those around us, Weston's is a quaint neighborhood smokehouse with tables and booths that allow you to enjoy your neighbors or not, it is up to you if you talk with other than your own table. Tracey the chef and co-owner and his wife Aileen the owner come out and chat with all the customers who want to chat, they enjoy meeting folks, and cooking for and serving folks. After all, a happy customer is a repeat customer, there are times when customers may not be happy, after all, we all have different taste, but no matter the mood of the customers, Tracey and Aileen bend over backwards to make unhappy customers happy customers and happy customers repeat customers. Ann and I go to Weston's at least once a week if not more for lunch or the evening meal and have always enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service. If you have not been to Weston's you should give it a try and become a regular if you enjoy the food and the fun. Visited March 2014 |

Post from TripAdvisor We somehow ended up in Wildwood, Fl on our way back to Atlanta from Tampa, fl. When we came across T. Weston’s Smokehouse. There was a line out in front so we decided to give it a try. Turns out that they have only been open for four days and were only doing take out. I ordered the beef brisket salad and my wife got the pulled pork sandwich. The meat was excellent and portions were very large and the staff was very friendly. Would highly recommend T. Weston’s Smokehouse. It might seem like a long way from highway 75, about 6 miles off exit 329, but it is well worth the drive. “Great Barbecue” Reviewed February 24, 2013 |

Just out of curiosity, how often are you going to quote what I said about the poor quality of their food? To my mind, you are either an investor in Weston's or get a really good deal on their meals for constantly touting it. And denials to the contrary mean nothing.
Sorry, but I have no reason to tell a chef his ribs are all fat -- that is something that is obvious before he puts them on a plate. A bbq restaurant has no excuse for ribs that are over 75% fat. |

So, from that visit, I gather that if you make your desires known, you will have a good chance of getting what you want. JMHO |
