    The BBQ ribs
    Boon C.

    The BBQ place located in a rough neighborhood. If you want find a good food and don't mind the place, this can be your adventure. King BBQ just off Armenia and I-275. There no place to sit. It is a to go place. You may not experience the full menu. It is what they are cooking at that day. Today they just have the regular rib and the chicken. The price is good for the meat you get. I got half slab regular ribs for $13. It fill the entire box. The middle low part of the rib was grilled to crispy and not burn. It is very tasty. They do have the BBQ sauce selection with mild, mixed or hot. I have them put the sauce on the side. Since this is full size rib not baby back, the half slab look big. The BBQ store is walk in and the grille just in front of you. You can see what you order. They will chop it for you for easy bite.

    Broccoli and banana peppers !! Delicious

    Excellent food !! Drinks were strong. Didn't look like much driving by. Then when we walked in. It was very nice setting. The food was da bomb!! Excellent!!! And I'm picky about food !!

    I still love this place after all these years. My sausage sandwich was so delicious with just the right amount of sauce as always & this was first yime trying the baked beans & I was very pleased with the amount they gave me...they were so delicious.

    I am a southern woman soo for me good bbq is hard to find. I've been in Tampa for about 2 years now all of a sudden my husband and I decided to stop this bbq restaurant that we have passed a few times. First let me say that the customer service is AMAZING !!!! and the food was even better. We got half of a chicken with sausage, baked beans and potato salad. I can't wait until we go back we don't eat out much but we will make an exception for this bbq. There were a few not so positive comments on the location however, we had no issues and weren't expecting any. If you've never been to a restaurant outside of the suburbs/popular areas then you may be a little hesitant but don't let that deter you from a great meal, awesome service and friendly patrons.

    The food was so good! I got the chicken meal. The meat was pretty tender, mac and cheese was amazing and the baked beans were insanely good.

    Love the sauce in the ribs. Probably best in the area - a bit pricey for the family platters

    I'm honestly torn on the rating for this place. We ordered through Uber Eats and they forgot one of…read morethe more expensive items in our bag. We called and they had great customer service and offered to let us come pick it up and throw in a dessert. However, when you've already paid for delivery and a tip, it's just really annoying. We are glad we did pick it up because the dirty dog was our favorite menu item and that was what was missing. My husband said the deconstructed rib sandwich was "ok". The Tampa 2 had so much potential, but the bread was soggy and the Mac and cheese really didn't have much flavor. My son did love his pulled pork sandwich and banana pudding. We're glad we tried it but would try something else next time.

The parking it tight, but I was able to get a spot in the few limited spaces. I can imagine parking can get dicey if it's super busy. It's a little tight inside too but luckily the majority of the indoor space is for seating. Order at the counter and they bring it out to you. The guy that took our orders started with all the item they were sold out of. Luckily, that didn't impact us too much. I ordered a two meat plate with pulled brisket, smoked turkey and two sides, tots and collard greens. My wife ordered pulled pork with mac and cheese and coleslaw. I would have preferred sliced brisket, but they were out of that. We also wanted to try the boiled peanuts, but that was also sold out. We grabbed a table. The food didn't take long. My BBQ plate looked pretty traditional, meats and sides laid out on a paper lined tray. Ample portions! Really good value for $18. The pulled brisket comes sauced. It was top quality, not fatty, moist and was exactly what I was looking for. This was excellent as is. The smoked turkey was also great. It was lean and smokey with a good bark on it. I topped this with their regular sweet house made BBQ sauce. The greens were cooked perfectly, tender with bits of meat in them, swimming in their own juices. The tots were crispy, crunchy and hit the spot for that fried bite. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our meal. It was filling and we had a great time of fellowship. I'd definitely come back here.

In part because Konan's isn't too far from the Tampa airport (around a 10 minute drive), I've often made it my first stop when coming to town. Konan's is a black-owned BBQ restaurant located in a residential neighborhood that's not too far from Raymond James Stadium where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play. Speaking of football, the family that owns and runs the restaurant has produced a few D-I basketball and football players, including a current player who's projected to be a high-round NFL draft pick in the next draft. The last time I was here was a Friday, a little before noon. It hadn't gotten too busy yet so wasn't much of a wait in line. Ordered my favorite meal there, which is the 2-meat (ribs and pulled pork) combo ($17). The combo comes with two sides - I usually get the flavored rice (Rice 'a la Trigg) and the mac and cheese. The meal also includes a slice of bread. Lemonade is $3 extra, bottled water $2. As always, the ribs and pulled pork were excellent. I especially love the yellow sauce (I think a mustard sauce) they use to flavor their meats and rice side dish, which is a unique staple of this restaurant. The mac and cheese is always very tasty as well. Their food is also always well-portioned - I always leave very full! Altogether my meal came out to around $21, which was a very fair price for two meats, two sides, and a lemonade. Konan's does give a small discount if you pay with cash rather than credit. It seems most customers come here for take-out, though there's plenty of seating both inside and outside the restaurant. The staff is always very friendly, though I'm not too big on the fact that they're big Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans (LOL). If you've never been would definitely check it out! Extremely solid southern-style BBQ restaurant - this might be my favorite restaurant in Tampa!

This…read moreis a food truck that travels to different locations (breweries, bars, etc) and offers fantastic smoked meats and sides. My first experience with The Liberty Smokehouse was at Golden Isles Brewing in St. Pete. We tried the brisket and burnt ends with baked beans and mac and cheese. I instantly realized this was on another level, unlike any other barbecue I've tried in the state. All you can do after each bite is say how good the meat is. My second experience was at Outcast Brewing in St. Pete. This time we tried the beef rib with mac and cheese and potato salad. It's recommended to preorder the beef rib because it is limited. The beef rib meal is not cheap at $72, however, it is something that will blow your mind. It was more than my wife and I could finish, so it's plenty of food. The satisfaction of being served a giant smoked beef rib is hard to beat. After speaking with the owner Chef Bryan Jacobs for a short time during our first experience, I could tell that he was a humble man who accepted praise and criticism with grace. It is apparent that the goal of this business is to please its customers with a quality product. This barbecue is really something special and I highly recommend it. One change I would like to see from the business is to have a calendar posted on instagram, Facebook or both that lists their locations and times for the month. I understand it may be difficult as the locations change regularly but it will allow us to plan to be there.

Both the mustard style and regular bbq sauces are very well balanced, tangy, slightly sweet, with a tiny bit of spice. I never want to eat at any other bbq place. I can't wait for them to open the brick and mortar place, Waters and Fl, by the Wawa. I drove 30 mins to find this food truck and it was worth the gas money and being out in the summer heat. This place is a must try! I'm trying the ribs and wings next time. I ate the whole pound of brisket by itself for lunch and then dinner.
