    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!

    Decided to try Mighty Quinn's on a Saturday afternoon around 1:30, and we had a great experience!…read moreEthan greeted us as soon as we walked in and was super polite, friendly, and welcoming. We ordered the Brontosaurus Rib, which is about a pound and a half of beef rib, for two people. Let me tell you... we definitely did NOT finish it in one sitting. We had plenty left over for dinner, so come hungry! The meat was delicious, and the atmosphere was comfortable and inviting. My only concern was that the rib came out wrapped in plastic while it was hot. Interestingly, when we had the leftovers wrapped to go, they used butcher paper, which I personally would have preferred from the beginning. Other than that, our overall experience was fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere, and excellent service from Ethan. We'll definitely be back!

There were only a few cars there. Food was unremarkable as we expected more based *on. Friend**raved about bread pudding- (**not to us). Spent $28 to sample. Not overpriced yet would not recommend or return. I noticed after I left this review that the reply for management never included any kind of compensation such as give me a call and we can make your next dining experience better, there were just a lot of excuses like we're working on getting a "better bun" that was 2 years after the restaurant opened in 2022. Other than the occasional weekend I never see a lot of parts in the parking lot. We became ill during the night. I had to cancel a doctor's appointment for today at 1:00 p.m. and we'll probably get charged. That food that we got it's not agreeing with either one of us. I wonder since you're parking lot is rarely more than two or three cars whether you serve take out food that has been sitting there too long. I would like a refund. I will look for your reply and then I will call you. Both of us have been so sick since about midnight. I'm going to call the health department unless you reply today.

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.

    I went here to pick up an order for someone else and discovered they have VEGAN burnt ends. I was…read morepretty excited about that. The vegan burnt ends are seasoned well and taste pretty good. I put them in my Salad and it made my salad taste amazing. If you don't eat meat and you're craving some BBQ , definitely give this place a try. I also tried their grits, macaroni and cornbread. The grits were pretty good -- I wasn't a huge fan of the macaroni but my kids loved it so that's all that matters. Overall this place seems pretty popular and the customer service is pretty good.

Ribs, brisket and pulled pork with baked beans, mac n cheese and cornbread. The ribs were meaty, rubbed with a great seasoning & fall off the bone tender. I didn't even need to put bbq sauce on them! The brisket melted in my mouth like butter and the pulled pork had great flavor too! The baked beans were sweet but not overpowering and the mac n cheese was the common you would expect with bbq. The restaurant is really open inside drawing your eyes to where you order. Tables inside are long to seat many people but they do have smaller ones too. It would be nice if they had more small table seating though. Prices are in range with other bbq restaurants. My only complaint was they made my tray of food minus the brisket as they were getting a fresh one out just made. They left my tray sitting with my food losing temperature. Fortunately it wasn't too long but they could use a heat lamp to hold food waiting for an extra hot item. Otherwise, Overall I was pleased and would go back again for sure.
