I hate writing bad reviews of small businesses, but I have to. This place is absolutely…read moredisgusting!! The food isn't fit for a hog. I had ribs, pulled pork, and sausage. All 3 were gross. I've brushed my teeth w times and gargled with mouthwash and still have the taste of that nasty sausage in my mouth. And my stomach is "flippy". I will not be surprised if I get food poisoning. The collards were also gross. The beans were average, at best. I've eaten BBQ all over the country, and this place is the worst of them all. I don't know how they're still in business and I cannot believe all the good reviews are legitimate. You don't have to be a BBQ connoisseur like me to know what "yuck!" is. I literally feel like I'm going to vomit. If you want good pulled pork and sausage, go to BJ's in South Tampa. If you want great ribs, go to Kojak's in Seffner. They are the best in the area. (I included a picture of their ribs for comparison) If you want great brisket, go to Mighty Quinn's in South Tampa If you want great everything, Johnson BBQ in Plant City. I really hope the owners of the food truck go to some of these places and learn how to cook because I hate having to go to Tampa, or farther every time I want ribs.

This is a Memphis style BBQ spot and it bought me back home to that flavor pallet that I grew up on. I still can't believe it's on the beaten path in an industrial area of Clearwater. I highly recommend a half rack of ribs but you can't go wrong with the pulled pork sandwich or smoked chicken. Sides are on point also from the home cooked backed beans or the southern mustard based potato salad. The total menu is small but that just means perfection and consistency are always there. If you want true southern barbecue and a great price then please stop by Poppa's as soon as you can.

Inside, the assembly line was going in order to serve the big lunch crowd. The menu is small but the quality is big. I had a pulled pork sandwich, 2 ribs, & a drink for $12. The pulled pork was very good & not loaded with any questionable fat or gristle. The sauce in the squeeze bottle on each table was excellent & complemented the sandwich well. The ribs were flavorful & tender & meaty, & I'm pretty sure I smacked my lips more than a few times. My only disappointment is I wanted more, hahaha. This bbq is solid!

Served unsauced, this brisket is like being transported to Lockhart, TX to the kings of brisket. The applewood smoked Cobia is also perfectly cooked. It's easy to over-smoke some white fleshed fish. This was definitely not too smokey, just pure deliciousness. Likewise, the pulled pork is as good as you can find in the Carolinas. The sides are tasty too, with a couple of Keto friendly sides also. We will return as soon as possible.

I hate saying anything negative about a small business but this one was so disappointing. I had it…read moreon my list to visit for a couple of years now, looking forward to tasting some good home southern BBQ. I first checked their Google page and menu to be sure what I wanted to get. But when I got there the prices were drastically higher. I had planned on the brisket plate but once there I was told it was $31 and there was no way I was paying that for BBQ for one person. Google had it listed for $18. Next was the ribs but that was $17 for 6 bones no sides. So I decided to go with a classic pulled pork sandwich which came with one side. Their recommendation was Mac n cheese so I went with that. Usually I love Baked Beans but with it being my first time I wanted to taste what people rave about. The man who took my order, not sure if he was the owner or not was very nice and accommodating. And I did mention the google discrepancy. Now here is where the one star comes in and this pains me because I hate giving 1star reviews especially in this case but the pulled pork had no flavor, the bbq sauce wasn't good, the Mac n cheese also not great. All was extremely subpar from a place that should specialize in BBQ then throw in the high prices there was nothing worth giving a better rating. Even with the Mac n cheese you could throw some small bits of brisket or ribs in it to give it that Smokey bbq flavor similar to how Sonny's has bits of meat in their baked beans. Truthfully I have never had BBQ that I didn't like until today. Usually there is good BBQ and great BBQ but sadly I've had better BBQ at Thanksgiving with Joe and his smoker. I was the only one there at 7pm on a Saturday but it's also not a restaurant so that could be why. I am confused about the good reviews and wonder if it's just locals hyping it up out of support. But for me, I've been writing fair, honest reviews for 15 years so if I write one it's going to be real. If this review helps you, great And if you are somebody who loves Reels BBQ then that's amazing and hope you continue to support this small business and they stay successful. Sadly for me it was a one and done

The best ribs I've ever had. I even got a slab for the 4th of July and all my friends loved them as well. The brick and mortar was never in a bad location not was anyone rude that worked there and it certainly wasn't a dive. The owner worked very hard to remodel the restaurant and made it very nice and a perfect atmosphere for food, music, trivia etc. Unfortunately covid forced the brick and mortar to close but I still stall their bbq. Don't overlook the smoked salmon either! It sells quickly cause it's sooooo good. I love that you have your choice of pita bread and not the basic garlic toast you get everywhere.

We ordered the chicken and rice bowl and the brat with coleslaw and baked beans. We loved everything, especially the sauce on the bratwurst. We'd never had it that way before, and it took it to the next level. Staff were amazing - They were patient as we figured out what we wanted, double checked we had what we needed before we left. The whole experience was giving neighborly, local vibes. 11/10. Couldn't wait to look this place up to review. Thank you, Boss Ross, for bringing the best food of the weekend. We literally could not do another fried thing with a side of fried things, spending all day in the sun. Fresh bbq to the rescue.
