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.

To my surprise I rolled up in my golf cart and the patio was packed! My son and I got a table out back and ordered a few things. We ended up sharing a 3 meat platter with pulled pork, chicken and sausage. All 3 were amazing. The sides we chose were the beans and potato wedges which were perfectly crispy and delicious. I was super impressed that on day 1 of a soft opening that everything came out great, service was good and everyone around seemed happy. I only can imagine after they get their groove on a bit that this place will get better and better over time. Our server Ted was amazing and was very attentive and busy! Inside they ended up replacing the old bar that was in there in favor of an along the wall style with plenty of chairs. Additionally I would think eventually they will have some inside tables as well. Restaurant wasn't all the way together yet but I'm not going to fault them for anything as it was a soft opening. All in all this is a 5 star review for a much needed BBQ place that also has a hint of BBQ places that were in the Harbor before and can't wait to see how this place does! Thank you United Smokehouse!

We have had the same waiter as we did when this was coastal cantina and when we ate at southern fresh. Same owner I believe. He is the only waiter I remember having more than twice on Main Street which is really cool. I give props to the owners for this. The food is really good. The location is great. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because they really need to add a few items. Like pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Also 4 potato wedges as a side is kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, all good. It's nice to have smoked meat back in the harbor.

Perfect 73 degree winter day and we rode our E bikes. Stopped for a couple drinks on the way here and now it's time to feast. I order the ribs and brisket. Wife got the burnt ends. The meat is fantasticly fabulous. So tender with that perfect bark on the outside. I love their sauces too. Potato salad and Mac n cheese was delightful. This is some damn good bbq. Look them up on Facebook for when they will be there. They are located at a dentist office parking lot just northbof seventh sun brewery. They take cash or venmo only so come prepared. Some of the best BBQ I've had in Florida.

My wife got 4 rib bones with slaw and mac & cheese. The meats were perfect with a very good smoke taste and very tender. All four sides were classic BBQ house offerings and complimented the meat perfectly. Each dinner came with a large slice of Texas toast. We tried three of their house sauces, Texas hot, Kansas City sweet, and the Carolina mustard based sauce. All were very good; but, we used them sparingly to let the flavor of the meat come through. The few inside tables were clean and comfortable and the guys working made sure we had everything we needed. When it warms up we will use the outside tables. We will definitely be back on a Friday to try the burnt ends and Saturday for the beef 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!

Today, I was driving past, starving but with a full schedule of errands to run. If it had been any other place, I would have ignored it and just gotten coffee somewhere to keep me moving. Brakes, u-turn, park. I waited a couple minutes while some people gathered their order. I was too hungry to choose and asked the kind lady in the window to help me. She was patient and helped me by simply being patient. A few more people came up and I got nervous I was taking too long. But people just smiled. I decided to try a lot of stuff, but not so much I'd waste anything...including money if it wasn't as good as I hoped. Brisket wasn't ready yet so I went with Pulled Pork sandwich... Tender tasty meat nicely sauced on a white bread hamburger bun, with extra sauce on the side. I added sauce, but not so much as I wanted to taste the meat more. The sauce was good enough to eat like you would Chocolate sauce with ice cream. You're not going to leave any behind. Perfect sandwich saved me. Collard greens...perfectly cooked and seasoned, not too salty, pieces of bbq meat flavoring it nicely. Perfect side. Mac N Cheese...correctly cooked noodles, perfectly seasoned with salt and pepper, and cheese throughout, though not the gooey cheesy saucy kind of cheese...not velveeta "cheese". Really nice side. Banana Pudding...this is homemade with chunks of banana and chunks of (shortbread?) cookies. This is one of my favorites. Can of soda. She apologized it wasn't that cold. Her caring made it taste better. As you can see by the stars, I really liked this place. I'll be getting back to my errands now, an hour later after eating in my car and pondering a nap. I have a couple more bites of the pudding, which I will not be saving for later. Highly recommended for anyone who likes barbecue. And actually for anyone who thinks they don't like bbq. They will soon.

For starters the staff was excellent. Super friendly and helpful without hovering. I would come back for the service alone. The atmosphere was BBQ so for a BBQ place that works! The wing were good but I am not sure how fresh they were which I found interesting on a wing night. I have seen other reviews suggest they are unseasoned but mine were well seasoned. They had a chew to them that felt off to me for smoked wings but it wouldn't stop me from going back. I was trying to keep it light sonI also had the green beans and they were good. Overall it was a good experience and I would definitely go back and give the wings another try.

Try dipping your okra into some Ranch dressing, it's delicious. The ambiance is, of course, western themed and I love it. They're located all over Pinellas County, however, the Largo location is our favorite.
