    a variety of pies
    Nina M.

    I've been coming to this place for years, especially around the time of the Super Bowl! Eddie is the owner and grill smith. The bbq here is part of Tampa's finest and combines the ideal blend of smoke and grill without in-wanted "char". Each cuts is cooked to perfection and lives in perfect harmony with Eddies homemade sauce. I've seen the business expand over the years as it gets better and better. The meat is deliciously "NEAT". Most bbq spots come with messy over-pourn sauce and sloppy cuts of meat. My only complaint is that I wish they were open more days during the week instead of just Fridays and Saturday's.

    We have been dying to try this place since we moved here. Today we tried and will most likely not…read morereturn. Pros: Staff was very friendly, although the counter style service is meh. The sausage was amazing. Unsweetened tea was good, as well as potato salad and beans. Cons: the ribs were very large, tender and had a great smoke flavor but that's it. They were pretty fatty, although still had a decent amount of meat. But there was no real flavor to the meat other than the "smoke". The brisket was tender also but flavorless. I tried both sauces. Both taste very ketchup based with the Hot just being super spicy. I mixed the sausage and brisket together to eat so it would help the brisket. The location is great and in walking distance in Ybor, from the trolly or locals. Little house like place with two tvs on. One playing sports while the other was playing some Jerry Springer style lame drama, and was plenty loud for us to hear. Overall, very disappointed. The Smoker was going and gave us high hopes but lack of flavor made for a very dull meal.

I'm telling you, you ain't had any BBQ till you have eaten here. We just spent some time in Nashville looking for good BBQ and we were a little disappointed. This place is AMAZING.... It's in a small house just off the street.... Keep looking, it's there! Trust me you won't be sorry!!! The sausage is unbelievable. Trust me. I can't say enough. Everyone in this place was friendly, accommodating, and really just awesome. Thank you guys for the unforgettable food!

And then receive a text when your order is ready when dining in. I got the 1 meat and 2 sides and it was fantastic. I opted for the pulled pork, loaded potato salad and macaroni and cheese. The pork was flavorful and tender. It was topped with chicharrones. The Mac and cheese was so flavorful, a bit runnier than I like, but delicious. The loaded potato salad was great and flavorful as well. I'd also recommend the lemonade to drink. It's fantastic! I look forward to coming back!

    Where to start... this place is Michelin star rated for a reason. I've known about the Brisket…read moreShoppe since their original south Tampa days but this was my first visit to their new location and it was just as good as I remember. The best thing I ate today was the brisket Bon Bons but everything was delicious. Banana pudding is a must try, even if you think you don't like bananas (trust me). Full disclosure: this place is busy. We waited in line outside for about 30 minutes to get inside to order. There are some tents and fans, as well as free bottled water available while you wait which helps make it a little more bearable. But I would do it all over again, that's how great this place is. Once you order there are a lot of seating options including an outside patio, indoor AC, and a bar with some nice AC circulation. Lastly, we arrived around 1 pm (they close at 4) and they were out of a few different menu options so I would recommend getting there earlier if you want your best shot at everything. I love that the owner was there and walked around and greeted everyone. We heard many conversations of people traveling from all over Tampa and the country to come check this spot out. You will not be disappointed!!!

When you randomly…read moreexperience a phenomenal meal right when your hanger is about to get the best of you...there's nothin' mo' betta. That was our first time at Wicked Oak. I've had their food at Lightning games & was very impressed. That was nothing compared to what we housed after a brutal few hours at Adventure Island (just 15 mins away FYI). Yard Bird was among the best I've had. Same for the collards & Mac & cheese. My boo had the superb cheese grits and 5-star cornbread casserole. Corn nuggets were a great appetizer. Service was excellent as well. Super friendly. This place belongs in the conversation for Tampa's best barbecue. Or, I could be a prisoner of the moment. You decide.

    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.
