It’s still amazing to me, being born and raised in Sanford FL., that the little small town and not much of a downtown has, almost overnight become a foodie and craft beer destination.
There is literally blocks and blocks of craft beer places to visit, and almost as many restaurants, from fast casual to full service, the food scene in Sanford has been making quite a bit of noise lately.
The owners of The Alley, a family owned and operated live music venue in the Historic District of Downtown Sanford that specializes in live performances of all genres of music that has been in business since 2005, decided to get in on this all new foodie craze and opened up Fuel BBQ.
Chris and Michelle Johnson decided to open the small space they had next to the Alley Bar and turn it into a fast casual simple service BBQ joint with an emphasis on Old School Slow and Low BBQ.
With the help of Pit Master Clay Watson, who also moonlights in a blues rock band, they put together a pretty simple and straightforward menu of BBQ classics like Brisket, Ribs, Jim Beam infused High Octane Pulled Pork, Grilled Chicken and a variety of sides.
Overall, It was good, not great BBQ. I really feel like if they put a bit more creativity into making sandwiches and maybe a few different menu items...and a tad more seasoning into their overall smoke process, they could be really really good.
Fuel BBQ is Closed on Monday, but they are open everyday from 11:00 am to 9:00 pm, with the exception of Friday and Saturday, as they stay open until 10:00 pm.
