I agree. Oakwood not only has succulent, falling off the bone ribs with sweet and tangy sauce, but the sides are wonderful. All day cooked green beans with ham, ditto the lima beans and the baked beans. The baked potato is cooked just right and served with butter and sour cream. The slaw is yummy too. Their help has been there as long as we have been here and are dependable and good. Not much to look at as far as décor but yummy, yummy, yummy.

I'm actually surprised by those who didn't choose Oakwood...hands down.

Why? I like Sonnys. Their ribs are good and I love the pulled pork.

To each his own. I prefer Oakwood. We have different "tastes" and perhaps that is why there are so many different restaurants.

My husband and I hate Oakwood. Think we are the only ones!!!!!

If you want REAL barbecue, try I Barbecue on Hwy 441. I don't care for Oakwood or Sonnys though Sonnys is a great hang out spot.

Oakwood is our favorite, by far! We always order our baby backs well-done, because the sauce carmelizes. Warning... they look a bit burnt, but this is how we think they're best-tasting... burns off a bit of the fat, too.

Now I've only been to one sonny's in Ocala and the express. Based on my experience I agree.

I can not remember the name of the restaurant but try the BBQ place on 42 near the RR tracks.(near 301)

Has anyone tried I-bar-b-que on 441 in Fruitland Park? It's family owned and delicious! Much better than Sonny's. I haven't tried Oakwood yet.

I have not been there, but I talked to a couple, who are both certified KCBS BBQ judges, and they recommended it, especially the brisket.

Oakwood is better than Sonny's but Artman's is better than both!
