The atmosphere is amazing both inside and out! The food is even more amazing! The worst part of tonight’s experience is trying to figure out what to choose because there were sooooooo many great choices! My son had the brisket and macaroni and he said the sauce was the best and had a unique wonderful taste! My husband had the barbecue pulled pork platter and he too said it was the best barbecue pulled pork he had ever had. I had the BLT with fries and it was the best BLT I have ever had! The Jalapeño poppers were a great start to the meal. My daughter had half a chicken quesadilla and she said it was great! The owner and cook even sat with us for a while…how cool is that!

A Fantastic Evening at Barracuda 2.0! We had an absolutely delicious dinner at Barracuda 2.0 - we had burgers, pulled pork with mac & cheese, and a rib-eye steak – everything was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, delicious! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Both the waiter and the chef were so kind and welcoming to us "German-Foxes" – we truly felt at home. What made the evening even more special was the warm and open atmosphere. Even the other guests welcomed us with smiles and good vibes. Thank you! Martin

We went in for a light dinner. Philly cheese was great, brisket was awesome! You should definitely come here to eat! Poppers were the best I've ever had! Seriously.

Quick, friendly service. Great burger and fries. Owner checked on our experience and made sure it was good. My kind of atmosphere - unique and down to earth. Try the pie while you’re here.

This little gem is definitely worth the trip out to the edge of town. We had the blackened tilapia and it was the best grilled fish I’ve ever eaten. The bartender waited on our table and gave us excellent service. Barracuda’s 2.0 is very clean but still has the old Florida bar style and decor. We had jalapeño popper’s and blackened shrimp for appetizers, and I would definitely recommend you try both. We were fortunate enough to meet the owner and he was so generous to even share a “secret” seasoning recipe with us. This will always be a must go to spot for us when we are visiting Okeechobee.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices. Everything is fresh made. The home made jalapeño poppers were great. Had to get them after reading other reviews. Swiss Mushroom Burger was fresh made and cooked perfectly. Shepard Pie was also delicious. I would describe our lunch as comfort food with a gourmet flair. Definitely worth the stop. Home made Key Lime Pie was a very tasty ending.
