Crydermans Barbecue Melbourne

Best turkey I've had in ...EVER. Mr. Husband Man said best brisket in Brevard. I don't care for macaroni and cheese and loved theirs. We shared a platter of three and our dining companion had one of their sandwiches. The bread pudding was a special and Delicious😋

If you are looking for authentic, delectable BBQ, come here. Seriously. You have to try it. Their ribs, pork, brisket, their sides (i had the mac n cheese and potato salad). I don't recall the last time I had BBQ this good. Their service was out of this world. They were knowledgeable, friendly and answered all our questions. Oh and their cream soda and Hawaiian sweet tea...bruh! I wish they had a location closer to where I live but I WILL be back!

One of my favorite places to go for lunch! Staff is very welcoming and they will give you great recommendations on items to try on their menu. Best collard greens in town.

The Brisket was AMAZING! It was so tender it was falling apart. The Mac n Cheese was delicious! We also got the chocolate chip cookies with Smokey walnuts! AMAZING!!!! You have to go! Hands down the best barbecue I’ve had in awhile!

On the recommendation of a coworker I stopped here for lunch. I ordered the special, "Big Arse Beef & Cheddar". A half bound brisket on a hoagie, onions, and a cheddar sauce. I also chose the mac & cheese to round it out. Both were wonderful, full of flavor, a real indulgence, for a spectacular value. The guys working the counter were enthusiastic, friendly and great to talk to. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic! Wish their hours worked better with my schedule, but glad to finally try it. So yum!!! 🤤

This is hands down the best BBQ around. Their brisket confit tacos are 💣 with a side of their dill potato salad and a sweet cornbread big a** cookie! Amazing!! Their sausage links are phenomenal too!
We've tried just about everything on their menu and there isn't anything we've not liked. Be sure to ask for sides of fresh onions and pickles because those just make the flavor all that better!!!

One word amazing!! Seen this place and it's been on my list for a long time finally stopped in the girls behind the counter very knowledgeable very helpful explain the menu and made some really good recommendations had to try the potato salad and the bread pudding was a definite.. got the combo with the turkey pork and sausage turkey is great very moist nice smoked flavor pork excellent very tender smoked as well they sell meat by the pound would suggest getting some of that pork and a nice loaf of Cuban bread great sandwiches will definitely be back and recommend it to anybody other than my cousin little gyms like this she got to keep a secret.. 😆

Some of the best barbecue we've ever enjoyed, and certainly the best in this part of Florida! The ribs were meaty and the brisket so tender and flavorful! The staff in genuinely seem to enjoy their work and made us feel welcome! I understand how difficult it is to reach a good price point with the cost of goods and service always on the increase. So, we will only say that the prices were moderately high but understandably so. We certainly will go again!

Let me tell you something when you want Good BBQ this is it! We have been every where Texas, Missouri, Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and this place takes the prize 🏆 The staff was amazing!!! I’m terrible with names but the guy with the beard gave us a schpiel was super friendly and explained the menu with patience we had the combo platter which was DELICIOUS so GOOD we had to order food to go that’s how good it was.
We give it
Extra stars

Really enjoyed this place. They took great bbq and added a little twist that made it different but still familiar. The Mac and cheese with rib meat was great. The hybrid sandwich was perfect. The Hawaiian sweet tea tastes like sugar syrup. Looking forward to trying something new.

If you’d like to eat good barbecue in Melbourne look no place other than Crydermans. This is head and shoulder above any other barbecue place in the area. Their pulled pork is delicious, their ribs are super tasty, and their brisket is the best I’ve found outside of Texas. Do yourself a favor and try this place out. There is no need to go anywhere else in Melbourne for good barbecue. Staff is great and always friendly.

After years of living in Melbourne and missing the cutoff, we finally made it in. So worth the wait. Came on a Friday afternoon for late lunch, a few tables there but otherwise no line!
Staff was immediately so friendly and helpful and informative about the menu, and also passionate about the food and place which is so cool to see.
Food is just insanely good. We got the 3 meat platter and the brisket sandwich as well as slaw, Mac, & potato salads for sides. Everything was so fresh (meat quite literally cut in front of you) & melt in your dang mouth.
I had a small issue with my order and the staff immediately helped, righted the issue and went and above and beyond to help and make it right.
1000% will be back ..a lot!

Food was great! The employees were friendly. The bread pudding was really good! I had a brisket sandwich and Mac and cheese and both tasted great. I definitely want to try to come out here again soon.

I now know what "meat butter" is. It's the way Beef Brisket just melts in your mouth! I don't know if I'll be able to look at other brisket the same again. I had the 3 meat combo: 1/4 lb of 3 meats of choice. I did the sausage, ribs, and meat buttery brisket. The Mac n Cheese was creamy and a winner. The beans were good and filled with meaty goodness too.
I will recommend to everyone who enjoys BBQ.

With specials changing daily on what they serve it embraces people to try new things.
However if someone wants something consistently there is a menu that remains constant.
It serves some of the best BBQ I have ever had and it may seem pricey for some things. Yet what you pay for is what you get, great quality with a great amount of food.

Genuine Texas smokehouse barbecue, right here in downtown Melbourne. I have tried BBQ all over the country and have visited most of the well known cities for BBQ and I have to say, this is the real deal. From the ribs to the brisket I ordered, everything was smoked to perfection and was both tender and flavourful. I ordered the mac & cheese and the baked beans and nothing they do is boring or basic. Everything looks to be customized and curated for a specific flavor and texture. With that being said, don't expect this place to be cheap. Good brisket is worth every penny (especially if you have cooked it yourself and know how many hours goes into cooking something this good). I was happy to pay my $27 [including a 15% tip for the staff] as a thank you for such an amazing meal. The ambiance and aesthetics were simple and nostalgic. They had large fans circulating air outside on the patio, a feature I greatly appreciate. The music was playing classic rock such as The Beatles, Elvis, CCR and Led Zeppelin. I will be back and will tell my friends.

Best barbecue in Melbourne. The brisket was tender and moist which is hard to do. The turkey was very juicy and had tons of flavor. I really liked the Parmesan dill potato salad and baked beans. We will have to try dessert next time.

You want REAL TEXAS BBQ? This is the REAL deal!!! So happy to have found this awesome place. The vibe is awesome, the staff were awesome, classic rock n roll playing, the energy was positive and felt amazing! The food melted in your mooth aaaaaand was the best flavors. Seriously the best BBQ in town!

Crydermans is the best barbecue in Central Florida. That is a stone cold fact. I know there's pretty big competition around, but I firmly believe that that competitor has officially gotten too big for its britches and the quality has suffered. I'm not saying that it's not still delicious. I'm saying that Crydermans is better.

I've been enjoying Crydermans in Cocoa Village for a while now, and they recently opened up a 2nd location in Melbourne. So, the 4th of July came around and I was off work so I had to come check it out. So I take the doors off the Bronco and cruise down the A1A.

I decide to split a big platter. Brisket, pulled pork, turkey. With potato salad and barbecue beans. And I get an extra side of their special that day, the Texas Trinity Mac 'n' Cheese; basically mac 'n' cheese with brisket and pulled pork and bacon mixed in with it. I actually got their very last serving of the day. So lucky!

Let's dissect both aspects of the meal. First, the meat. Brisket, banging, juicy, fatty, wow. Not dry at all. And the dude gave me a little bit more than the .25 pounds he was supposed to. Score. The pulled pork was not juicy, but it was not dry. It was what I like to call, accepting of sauce. And boy, does Crydermans have good sauces. My favorite being the Carolina based one. Delish.

But the truly special meat of the meal was the turkey. I usually stay away from smoked poultry, because of its tendency to be dry. But man, Crydermans is so moist. It doesn't even need sauce. So good. So smokey. I am a big fan.

The sides of a BBQ meal definitely have a lower floor than the meats, so these things can really differentiate one restaurant from another. Crydermans, A+. Potato salad was so good! So much thyme. So thinly sliced, so each potato was cooked through, so it was soft. And juuust creamy enough from the base.

And the beans, oh the beans. So saucy. And big hunks of ham in there for you to find. Very smokey. Very good. Best BBQ beans I think I've ever had. Maybe one place in Mississippi them beat, but further study is needed.

Don't get me started on the Trinity Mac. You know how that was. Heaven. I will say that the mac noodles are mostly casserole-style gooey. Not a lot of bite to these noodles, which I love, but you might not, so just saying.

I've been rambling on too much, so I'll end this now, but just know, if you're lucky enough to live near a Crydermans, you HAVE to go. Even if you're not, I drove an hour and a half to get here. And you should, too.
