I ordered the slides beef, pork, spare ribs combo with collard greens, coleslaw, and dales bbq baked beans. My wife ordered 1/2 a pound of pulled pork and a side of Mac and cheese. We both drank their homemade sweet tea. After you get your bill you go up to the counter to pay. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant had a great vibe and was very clean. Compared to most bbq I have had I would say it was okay.

We went around 11:30ish and this place was packed! The waitress served us sweet teas and big to go cups which she kept refilling. We ordered one platter and shared it, which came with three sides. It was definitely enough for two of us. The barbecue sauce wasn't as great and we were expecting it to be like GA barbecue style but it was good. The meats were super tender, they were fall off the bone. And the waitress was super attentive.

My favorite BBQ place on the Treasure Coast! I don't usually eat pork, but their ribs are the very best and the only pork I eat - they are that good! And they have a phenomenal deal on weekday nights for a full rack, 2 sides, and a soda. And it's super reasonable to add another 1/2 rack too! The Mac n cheese is also super yummy, definitely homemade and not out of a box. Large macaroni and fresh cheese. Definitely worth a try! I hadn't tried the okra here before but decided to this time and NOT disappointed at all! Also one of the best I've ever had, especially with the homemade ranch that we always order with the onion petals (also a can't miss). And last but not least, the coleslaw!! I absolutely never eat coleslaw and really can't stand it at all, but years ago that's what people swore by here, and they are absolutely right!! It's shredded super thin, very minimal mayo, and even has a poppyseeds and slight sweetness. Not only can you not miss it, but it's actually worth going to Dale's just for it! And they sell it in catering quantities if you want to take some extra home too
