is cocoons bbq good? is somewhere else better?

[joho]

Haven't had cocoons but if 98 bbq is open it's pretty good.
Also Pigs Alley on the west side of Sandestin.
Good Luck!

I'm scared to rejoin this thread. The last time I posted on it, Kurt referred to me (obliquely and discreetly, of course) as a Memphis BBQ snob. Oh well, here goes anyway...

Several ex-Memphians I know give double thumbs-up to Pigs Alley. I'm keen to try it soon.

The Memphis in May festival is all about bar b que. It's a week long competion that draws teams from all over. These people are serious about pig meat.

You can get some pretty heated discussion on dry versus wet rubs and don't even ask for ingredients. They might have to kill ya.

I've had meals from Cocoon's a few times because it was convenient to the condo at Cassine Station. For the most part, the food was acceptable for the price. For $5.99+, you can't find plate lunches anywhere else in the area. The barbeque is pretty good, but nothing compared to what I've had in Texas and Tennessee.

I think someone will eventually buy the place for the property, not necessarily for the business. There's been quite a bit of high-end development around this "less than high-end" establishment.

So.....my advice is to enjoy Cocoon's while it is still around.
