Big Sexy Eats

Big Sexy Eats Cuban soul. Midwest comfort. South Florida flavor.
(1)

Big Sexy Eats is Cape Coral’s hidden-in-plain-sight speakeasy kitchen at the VFW - more than a diner, way beyond typical bar food, and built for ridiculously good eats.

When your Cuban wife gives it the stamp of approval, you KNOW you hit the mark! 🔥

Mirna (Mrs. Sexy) doesn't play around when it comes to flavor. Her authentic mojo pork is already legendary, so when she keeps tasting my fresh-smoked pork butt and repeating "so delicious," I know the Recteq did its job! 🤤

Take a look at that bark, that smoke ring, and how effortless that meat pulls apart:

🪵 Scored Fat Cap: Cross-hatched so our house spices render deep into the meat.

⏰ Low & Slow: Hours of gentle, clean smoke until it’s juicy enough to melt in your mouth.

🥪 The Ultimate Flavor Base: This isn't going in the Cubano (Mirna's mojo pork holds that crown), this is straight-up Big Sexy BBQ. Piled high on a toasted bun or loaded over our rich, creamy Pulled Pork & Mac Bowl. (New batch of our smoked Gouda mornay based Mac coming and I’ll get it on the menu today or tomorrow)

We do things the hard way because shortcuts don't taste like this.

Come grab a sandwich or a bowl before this batch vanishes!

Turn your volume UP for this one! 🔊🎧

If you don't listen to anything else today, make sure you listen to the CRUNCH at the end of this video. No sound effects, no Hollywood tricks—just real, golden-crispy wings cooked right! 🍗🔥

We had to let ’em rest for a minute first so they weren't the surface temperature of Mercury... but man, that first bite was worth the wait. Best part? We’ve worked out the exact process to turn these into crispy, crunchy deliciousness that actually survives the to-go box! 🥡💪

Motts Life — I promise you, no rubbery wings here! They’re simply Ridiculously. Good. Eats! 🥊

Whether you like 'em tossed in our Triple Garlic Parm, Buffalo, Honey Hot, or served plain so you can hear that crunch yourself—we've got a basket waiting for you.

Current status: The Recteq 1250 is locked, loaded, and putting in work! 🪵🔥

And no, you won't see big billows of white smoke pouring out of it—real pitmasters know high-quality rigs hold the smoke on the meat where it belongs! (If someone tells you thick, billowing smoke means good BBQ, run the other way 😂).

You guys completely wiped out our stock lately—taking down nearly an entire pastrami brisket and 16 lbs of pulled pork in record time. So, we are re-arming the kitchen this week:

🪵 House-Smoked Pulled Pork & Pastrami: Fresh, slow-smoked batches coming right up.
🥩 Chicago Beef GAME CHANGER: Eye of round is fine, but I scored a beautiful Inside Top Round today. I’m trimming the silver skin off today (which was a lot easier back in 1987 when I had my favorite fillet knife and could do it with zero meat loss! 😂). It’s getting coated in our Big Sexy spice blend, slow-roasted, rested overnight, and sliced paper-thin.

🎬 Fair warning: I’m going to try filming some of this process for videos soon. I am a cook, not a social media director, so it’s going to be rough around the edges—but the food is going to be killer.

Swipe through the photos to see what's cookin', and we’ll see ya at the back door! 🚪🥪

🗓️ Heads Up: Upcoming Adjusted Kitchen Hours!
Family, business, and kitchen life keep us rockin', but occasionally the VA calls us in for some routine maintenance! Big has a couple of upcoming VA appointments, so we’ll be adjusting our kitchen hours on two Tuesdays this month.

Mark your calendars so you don't miss out on your pastrami or pizza fix:

**EDIT** Tuesday, Aug 4th - closing at 1pm should be open again around 4pm (will update as I know more). Just got the appointment in the mail - Guess they forgot that phones and email work. lol

🩺 Tuesday, Aug 11th — Closing Early at 3:00 PM

Big has to head up to Bay Pines VA for an overnight sleep study (gonna be hooked up like a transformer trying to sleep 🤖😴). Closing at 3:00 PM gives us enough time to get changed and beat the afternoon bridge traffic up I-75. We’ll be back open normal hours Wednesday morning!

🩺 Tuesday, Aug 25th — Closing Early at 1:30 PM

Got a double-header VA run up in Port Charlotte (8:40 AM and 3:00 PM). We’ll be open for early lunch, then closing down at 1:30 PM so we can hit the road for the afternoon appt.

Appreciate y'all understanding as we take care of the body tune-ups! If you need your Big Sexy fix on those Tuesdays, just make sure to get your lunch orders in early.

Warning: Do NOT scroll through these photos on an empty stomach! 🤤🔥

No shortcuts, no fake food, just HEAVY, scratch-made comfort eats.

We’ve had a ton of new folks finding Big Sexy Eats lately, so we figured it was time to drop a little visual tour of what’s coming out of our kitchen this week:

🥩 The Real Deal Cheesesteak: Loaded with 100% beef (no fillers simply beef) and our house-shredded smoked provolone & Cooper Sharp American, melted inside an authentic Amoroso roll ( ).

🥪 House-Smoked Pastrami Reuben: Paper-thin ribbons of real whole-muscle brisket from our 4-day process, melted Swiss, sauerkraut, and house Russian dressing.

🥪 The Turkey Club: Three thick slices of Rotella brioche, applewood smoked bacon, Black Forest ham, oven-roasted turkey, crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, and enough extra-heavy mayo to make it just the right amount of messy. Served with house-fried chips!

🍟 Jersey Diner Style Hand-Cut Fries: Rendered crispy in real beef tallow (served with our famous "crack in a cup" house gravy).

🍕 Pizza Cubana: Authentic Havana-style street pizza with a thick, hand-stretched dough and that legendary caramelized frico cheese crown.

🧀 Smoked Pulled Pork & Mac Bowl: Smoky house pulled pork piled high over rich mac and cheese, drizzled in our Dr Pepper BBQ sauce. (New item—coming to the menu soon!)

🎡 All-Meat Corndog: A state fair favorite, fried up golden and crispy. (We also have mini corndogs—no stick to impede your eating!)

🍗 Extra-Crispy Wings: Tossed in triple garlic parm. (Other house sauces available!)

The Big Sexy Standard 🥊

We buy full blocks and shred our own cheese in-house (zero cellulose or wood pulp), we don't use needle-injected shortcut meats, and we render our fries in beef tallow the traditional way.

Alright SWFL foodies: If this entire spread landed on your table right now, what are you grabbing FIRST? Drop your pick in the comments! 👇

Some say pig and fruit don’t belong on pizza... but around here, we don’t judge. Especially when the person ordering it goes by the nickname “Shooter” from her military days. 🤪🤣 (We love ya, Izzy! 🫡)

Honestly? Looking at this pie come out of the oven, I think I need to "accidentally" misread an order sheet today so I have an excuse to eat one. I hate wasting food, but I feel like an "accident" is totally justified here. 🤤

In all seriousness, our Cuban Pan dough (Pizza Cubana) is actually built for this combo. That savory, smoky Black Forest ham paired with sweet pineapple and our caramelized frico cheese crust? It just works.

We don't have this listed as a set menu item online just yet—so if you want to brave the Hawaiian pie debate on a Cuban crust, you’ll have to call us directly to order it for now!

So tell us, Cape Coral Pizza Critics: Is pineapple on pizza a crime, or are you smashing a slice of this? 👇🐖🍍🍕

Update: Y'all officially kicked my ass on Friday! 😅🔥

We had such a massive run on our house-smoked pastrami Reubens this week that I’m heading out right now to hunt down another fresh stack of full briskets for next week's batch.

People love calling a 4-day craft process a "labor of love”? That’s cute... but honestly? It’s just our stubborn refusal to serve shortcut junk and a genuine desire to eliminate processed garbage from our food.

Real Brisket vs. Processed Slabs 🥩

Look closely at real, whole-muscle brisket (first picture) when it's done right. You get silky, paper-thin ribbons, natural rendered fat, and a dark spice bark.

A lot of places out there sling corned beef that's been needle-injected, chemically tenderized, and full of weird, spongy, porous holes (looks more like lab-grown meat than actual beef!) - second picture. They slice off all the fat and toss a thick slab on a sandwich like it's a badge of honor.

The truth? They have to cut it thick—because if you try to slice processed meat thin, it completely crumbles into mush.
Our 96-hour brine, rest, wood-smoke, steam, and paper-thin slicing process is why our pastrami holds its structure, melts like butter on your tongue, and delivers an unbelievable flavor bomb in every single bite.

(And side note: y’all seem to be straight-up drinking our house-made Russian dressing with the amount of extra side cups being ordered! 🤪)

Mrs. Sexy and I appreciate all of the support more than you know. This was officially our BEST week yet for public orders. Keep pushing the word out like this and we’ll actually be able to hire some extra help in the kitchen soon!

Good morning all, Mrs Sexy and I both have doctors appointments today so we may be opening a little late. I’ll be pausing all online ordering until we are in the kitchen.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

07/22/2026

This week has been a turning point for us.

We’ve had public orders every single day — two Monday, three yesterday, one today. Six public orders in three days might not sound big to a corporate chain, but for us, it’s huge. It’s more public orders than we used to get in two full weeks. And it means people are finally discovering what we’ve been building.

About the VFW Question ❓
We hear it all the time: “Isn’t that just a VFW kitchen?”

Here’s the truth:

We are Big Sexy Eats, an independent scratch‑craft kitchen.

We simply have the privilege of serving our veterans while operating inside the VFW building.

And yes — the front doors are members‑only.

But the public entrance is around back, under the Big Sexy Eats sign.

If you’re driving down Vincennes, you can see us plain as day!

What “Scratch‑Craft” Means 👨‍🍳
If you’ve eaten our food, you already know it’s not basic bar food:

Our pastrami is a 4‑day process — brine, rest, smoke, rest, steam, rest, thin slice.

Our fresh‑cut fries go through a multi‑step process to get that crispy‑crunchy outside and silky‑smooth inside.

Our Chicago beefs use house‑roasted eye of round, sliced thin and soaked in our own au jus.

Our cheese is shredded in‑house, never bagged.

Our Cuban pan pizzas weigh in at 1.3 pounds with a caramelized frico crust.

This is real craft cooking — not freezer‑to‑fryer.

Why People Don’t Know We’re Public 💡
This VFW historically didn’t have a consistent kitchen serving the community, so many locals assume the building is members‑only. But we are 100% open to the public for pickup and delivery — every day we’re cooking.

How You Can Help Us Grow 📈
We’re still new to serving the public, and exposure is everything right now. If you’ve enjoyed our food, you can help us keep this momentum going:
