Dear friends, family, and everyone who’s ever walked through our doors,
After 10 incredible years of serving up award winning, old school, low and slow smoked BBQ loved by many across Central Florida, we have some heavy news to share. Our beloved restaurant will be closing its doors for the final time on Sunday July 5, 2026.
Our building, the historic Greyhound bus station we transformed into one of the true gems of the downtown Sanford restaurant scene, has been sold and we are unable to continue operations in this location.
To our amazing patrons — thank you for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, game days, and ordinary Mondays with us. You didn’t just eat here… you made this place feel like home.
To our incredible staff — you are the heart and soul of this restaurant. Your hard work, dedication to quality, and the way you cared for our guests made everything possible. We couldn’t have done any of this without you.
And to our loyal supporters, suppliers and friends who cheered us on through the years — your kindness and encouragement meant more than you’ll ever know.
We hope to see again before July 5th. Come grab your favorites and help us send this chapter off right.
Thank you for 10 beautiful years.
With full hearts and smoky gratitude,
The Fuel BBQ Team 🥩🔥
P.S. It’s rock n’ roll business as usual next door at The Alley.
