If you so happen to smell barbecue wafting through the air while you are biking, walking or running on the Pinellas Trail Friday or Saturday, then you are most likely smelling the Southern-style barbecue from Eli's Bar-B-Que shack.
People from all around line up during the shop's select hours of operation for delicious down-home barbecue cooking. Eli's Bar-B-Que secret sauce has even been featured in local newspapers.
There are only a handful of picnic tables on premise, so first come, first serve. And don't forget to bring cash, as it is the only method of payment accepted.

Eli does it RIGHT! Great food, friendly, respectful staff, all at a descent price.
Great service with a smile. BBQ ribs with amazing baked beans. You have got to try the sausage with a bit of hot BBQ sauce. Simply delicious!
Yum! Yum! and Yum! Always a fun place to be, the smell of BBQ yanks me off the bike trail and the Eli's staff are always friendly.
This is truly a hidden treasure in Dunedin. His food is so good I don't think I have ever been there when the place wasn't packed. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and check it out.
This is another good reason I live in Dunedin! If this were a chain, Sonny's would be out of business! I've done BBQ all up and down I95 from Va to Fl. I'm reminded of past familiar joints in the woods and little towns as I approach Eli's. But then comes the BBQ smell!
Imagine going up to a very small two room house, ordering from a little screened window, then picking it up from another window, and sitting down at a picnic table right by the little gravel parking lot to chow down....on some of the best BBQ around! Ribs, pulled pork, beef, chicken, and sausage available to knock you off your feet. ( I am salivating now just thinking about it!) The baked beans are awesome and different, not too sweet but gives off a good twang!
The prices are so decent! This is the Que without the frills. The real deal smoked from Eli's own Big Foot grill in a screened shack behind the little serving house. This place is the bomb and you have to visit to believe it. The bad news is that it's only open on Friday and Saturdays from 11am to 6pm.
I must add that Eli, his family, and friends are good people. It's easy to come by, get your Que on, and become part of the party! You also see by the fast moving lines and carry out orders that so many patrons are in agreement on the taste of Eli's! Do yourself a big treat and get there!
