Typical greasy spoon BBQ joint. Don't expect much service, as you queue up in a line (that can get long, but moves ok). You shout out your order. Sometimes there's not enough tables too. That's the bad, but the good is the food. Besides outstanding pulled pork, the fries and (spicy) macaroni salad are awesome. Fries have the skin on.... more

This is place is really good if you're in the mood for a gigantic plate of juicy, smokey, tender meat. However, you have to be willing to put up with standing in line, screaming your order as soon as you're within ear shot of the counter (don't even think about taking a minute to decide want you want!), fighting for... more

We decided to try this place based on trip advisor reviews and I was dissappointed. The food was alright, but no where near the best. The potato salad had too much mustard and the beans were to sweet. I love BBQ and have southern roots and know good BBQ when I taste it. The meat was good and feel off... more

We went to this restaurant based on its rating here on Trip Advisor. We were there on Labor Day (Sept 7 2009). There was a small line up but it went by fast. The place itself is nothing spectacular but you can smell the smoked meat from the outside. We definitely got our money's worth and more. We tried the... more

My wife had BBQ ribs and I had BBQ Chicken. They were good not great. Felt like a nice church sponsored BBQ. I liked the basic atmosphere - order and wait at counter in about 5 minutes. The staff was courteous and attentive, not particularly friendly. The sides were excellent. We had potatoe salad, coleslaw, and baked beans. The plain... more

Excellent food, friendly people and and dare I say, VALUE! Well worth the money every time. more

There is no doubt that this is the best BBQ place in the Tampa Bay area. Everything I've had here has been delicious and at a bargain price. Make it a life goal to go to this place at least once in your lifetime. more

If not the best, it is second best. Either way it was great. I read about it on Tripadvisor and had to go a bit out of my way to get there, but it was well worth it. When I got there, I was surprised at the look of the place. It was unimpressive to say the least. Sort of... more

This place has phenomenal barbeque and is a MUST visit. During the course of our stay I tried: Beef Brisket, Pulled Pork, Chicken, Fries, and Potato Salad. I LOVED everything they had, you can smell the smoke from before you walk in. They move the line quickly and there is a HUGE line at lunch. more
