Every morning on my way to Hurlburt Field I would smell the delicious smoke wafting from Kinfolks. Aaah, and to have such good food for an expenditure of a few dollars was sublime. I really enjoyed their mini porkies, especially the mustard sauce. I wish I had the recipe. Hands down they were the best BBQ joint in the area,... more

Took a couple of trys to find since its tucked in a run down strip mall not facing the road. Outside was less than inviting but since some of my favorite local stops back home aren't either, decided to not let that stand in the way. Service good. Food good, but not spectacular. Prices fair. Nothing geared toward oure toddler... more

The BBQ was good, but I would not say it was any better than most of the chain BBQ places like Sonny's or Famous Dave's. I did not like their signature BBQ sauce, it pretty much tasted like watered down mustard. The other sauces they had available were better, but still nothing special. The side dishes were definitely not as... more

The pulled pork and ribs are a southern delicacy and very good here. The beef with the tomato-based sauce is true Texana. Brunswick stew may be the best I've ever had. The hot sauce is also wonderful. Get the BBQ Feast to try it all and plan on a take-out box. more

Mouth watering BBQ. What else can be said about this place. It's a little run down from the outside, but it's the BBQ that counts. My office mates and I eat here every week and are seldom disappointed. They use a mustard based BBQ. If that's not for you, ask for the BBQ without the sauce. You can add a... more

Their ribs, pulled pork and brunswick stew are the best in the area....great chicken too....and that intoxicating smoke that spews from their oven chimney out to the streets literally stops traffic...Always a delicious meal and a great 'folksy' dining experience more

I've lived if Fort Walton Beach for about 7 years now, I'm originally from Texas. Kinfolks is by far the closest to Texas BBQ you can get. This place has a great staff, always friendly and always helpful. The bar-b-q feast with a side of pickles and onions, is just like being back home in Texas, I love this place... more

It's soo good that we hit it for lunch and dinner. Read about it hear and it lived up to it's name. Great food. Great price. The atmosphere is pretty close to a Bingo parlor but who needs that when you have good BBQ. Lunch was Pork/Ribs and dinner was all Ribs...They also brought a pitcher of Tea for each... more

I tried Kinfolk's sliced beef BBQ as recommended by someone. First of all, the BBQ beans and potato salad were great. However, The meat I got had a faint hint of smoke and wasn't actually "sliced", but cut into small square pieces and some of the pieces of meat were burnt and most were dry. I'd like to give it... more
