troublemaker256 Posted April 19, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 19, 2016 It is only available on the Magic for now. It was added during her dry dock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easttxbowbender Posted April 19, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I tried the BBQ twice on my recent Magic cruise, both times it was very good. The different BBQ sauces were also good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anybody that lives in the south loves great barbecue. The news of this new food venue came out about a month ago. But you'll need to be fast to get to experience it. It's only open from noon to 2:30 on sea days on Magic. http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=6891 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpster Posted April 19, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 19, 2016 There were a few reviews of it, mostly positive but nothing detailed. I am going on the Magic tommorow for 10 days (3 sea days) So I plan to try it no matter the wait. Here was what has been said; Guys BBQ: I wasn't sure I wanted to wait in line for this, but we decided to and I'm so glad we did!! I tried all the meats, and they were all delicious! The Mac and Cheese was the best side item, the rest were mediocre at best. Might have to give it another try...just to be sure!! We were on the Magic last week. we stopped by the new bbq one day and I grabbed a small plate of food to sample. I had the chicken, pulled pork and the cole slaw. The chicken was fantastic. The pork and slaw were very good. I will also say that we liked the guys burgers too. My personal favorite new addition was the blue iguana tacos. I had a few of those almost every day.

sc4125 Posted April 20, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I will be on the Magic at the end of July. I love the Breeze and hated to see her leave Miami, but getting the Magic in Pt Canaveral pretty much makes up for it - Canaveral is much closer to me than Maimi is - 1.5 hour drive vs. 4 hr. drive - and I really liked the port when I sailed on the Dream. The BBQ looks fantastic & I'll also be in a wrap balcony for the first time (got a great casino deal) so needless to say I am so looking forward to this cruise. Now if we could just get a ship that does 7 day cruises in Tampa!!! Legend, please come back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlynn Posted April 20, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Looks great! I hope they add it to other ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpster Posted April 26, 2016 #12 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Ok, I've had it twice now. Outstanding bbq! The chicken was excellent, needs no sauce. Really good. The beef and pulled pork is very good. Kids loved the mac & cheese. DW liked the beans I was a bit less than impressed. They were good but better with some bbq sauce mixed in. I was first in line both times by arriving at 11:30, opens at 12 noon. The second time there were 6 people in line behind me by 11:35! Lines got long, stayed long until about 2:15 or so. Slipped in at that time for just some chicken legs. Better than Fat Jimmys. Did not try sausage or greens. Will likely skip this Friday, our last sea day. Twice is good enough.

storm1507 Posted April 27, 2016 #13 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Thanks for the info. It looks like we'll try the Magic for our next booking. Now to decide East or West. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpster Posted May 1, 2016 #14 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The line at 11:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trumpster Posted May 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Here you can see where the second line is, when you reach the sign a hostess directs you to the other line. Don't let the poor pictures or looks of the food fool you, it was very good. The Mac and Cheese were in the covered containers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyMaster Posted May 1, 2016 #16 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Looks OUTSTANDING! I can't wait to give this a try. So much better than the burger joint for me. Hope they add this to all the ships in the future. ;) "SKY" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMastell Posted May 1, 2016 #17 Share Posted May 1, 2016 On the Breeze the lines at Fat Jimmy's were so long that it stopped me from trying it on one sea day. On the next sea day I stood in line a half hour and by then many items were gone. What I did have: chicken, beans, slaw, were good but not great. Take care, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger and less greasy...but still greasy enough. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauer-kraut Posted May 1, 2016 #21 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I agree with the above posters, I wasn't overly impressed with Fat Jimmy's so it was a meh experience, wouldn't bother to wait in the line again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted May 1, 2016 #23 Share Posted May 1, 2016 looking at john h videos, it looks like they will be a guys pig and anchor on the vista instead of the fat jimmy thats already on the deck plans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janespup Posted May 1, 2016 #24 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) We honestly chose our Magic cruise in irder to try Guy's new place! Love his burgers on other ships. I do hope it is on the Vista and is open longer! Edited May 1, 2016 by Janespup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crzndeb Posted May 1, 2016 #25 Share Posted May 1, 2016 The Pig and Anchor will not be on the Vista until it gets to NYC. John Heald mentioned on one of his live videos that it has to do with getting ingredients. Can't get them in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
