98 Bar-B-Que is exactly what you’d expect from a modern Southern-style BBQ joint: sporty decor, spacious booths, casual, comfortable, and that essential enticing, smoky aroma that fills the entire establishment.

Open Monday through Saturday, 98 Bar-B-Que offers an extensive menu featuring southern classics. Go for the savory gumbo, delicious brisket, tender fall-off-the-bone char-grilled ribs, classic pulled pork — there’s something to suit almost everyone’s tastes. Combine your entree with a choice of plentiful sides, homemade sauces, and perhaps even a refreshing sweet tea. No matter what you choose, prepare to leave feeling stuffed and satisfied.

The family-owned restaurant works to ensure that diners enjoy friendly and attentive service, whether they’re stopping to dine-in or just swinging by for quick take-out orders. The menu offers large portions at great value prices.

The atmosphere is lively and exciting, with offbeat decor, TVs lining the walls (so you never have to miss a big game again), foosball, tabletop shuffleboards, and video games to keep the youngsters (and the young-at-heart) entertained. With ample seating available, groups of all sizes can walk in and be catered to, at all times.

98 Bar-B-Que is also the proud recipient of multiple awards and culinary conquests, including the 2019 and 2020 “Best of The Emerald Coast” awards and three years of the “Best In Destin” Reader’s Choice.

Having served the Florida public for more than four decades and across three generations, the Seeling family’s restaurant has established itself as a popular and long-lasting BBQ joint, providing guests with delicious, traditional, smokey food, a wide variety of beverages, and a lively, low-key dining experience that the whole family, big or small, can enjoy.

Whether you’re an expert or a novice at Southern cuisine, a tourist, or a local, this is a cozy spot not to be missed.
