Fodor's Review:

Few barbecue joints can boast the staying power of this family-owned and -operated pit stop, which had its debut in 1978. In the last three decades, it has earned a following of sticky-fingered regulars who have turned it into one of the most popular barbecue stops in central Florida. It could pass for a century-old Cracker house complete with veranda, pillars supporting the overhanging roof, and brick steps. Day and night, three indoor dining rooms and an outdoor dining porch have a steady stream of hungry patrons digging into tender pork spareribs that are dry-rubbed and tanned overnight before visiting the smoker for a couple hours. Then they're bathed in the sauce of your choice. Kojak's also has a nice selection of sandwiches, including sloppy chicken and country-style sausage.
