My friends and I attended the Fever production "Mad Hatter Tea party" at the venu. The event was…read moreadvertised as at a "Tampa location" that would be revealed later. In all honesty, I don't consider this a "Tampa location." This venue is in Fishhawk Ranch which is still in Hillsborough County but almost Manatee County. Anyway, we used waze to find it and the venue is very nice. It has a good sized parking lot and is nice and wide open and bright on the inside. I assume where the tea party was held is a big ballroom that the group used to construct a couple rooms for us "guests" to go through before we made it to the tea party. It has got to be a really big space and looking at my photos you can see that anything can be done with the space. As we left we went out the patio and through the garden space, which is also large. One could have a big outdoor event there, with or without a tent. Overall, it was a nice event at a nice venue and if you are looking for a venue on the Hillsborough-Manatee border, it would be a great pick.

The big day was two days ago and we couldn't be more happy with the results. Jamie's team, Jackie, Megan and Cynthia, were friendly and efficient. The food was outstanding and several of our friends referred to our party as the event of the year!

My husband had been craving bbq something serious so after comparing a few different places on Yelp…read morewe came across rack city ribz. I'd seen this place on social media so i already kinda had an idea of what was in store. We went on a Saturday afternoon. The truck is in a lot off of US 41 with plenty of parking and shade while you wait. We ordered the rib and brisket platter with two sides and some additional sides as well. Mac and cheese Collard Greens Cornbread casserole Potato salad Baked beans Phew we had quite a spread. It was plenty of food for us there was even lots of left overs. The bbq sauce was amazingggg & I should also note that my 11 year old loved the corn bread casserole she said she wanted that for her birthday (which ain't until September lol) Will definitely visit again as i could not get enough! The hype is definitely real! I didn't get a good pic bc we dug in without a second thought!

The customer service is always 10/10 and the prices are extremely reasonable for the portions and quality. The brisket was probably some of the best if not the best I've ever had. When I talk specifically about consistency, the food is sometimes heavily salted to the point of no return. Seasoned food and salty food- two different things. This batch of sides were too salty and not appetizing. The ribs were bland so it was hard to accept that the same person was seasoning the food. This family meal cost around $60 and we didn't want to leave the house again to get it corrected. I've had food here several times and it was great. It just didn't hit the mark this time.

Living in Orlando and a vegan, the pressure was intense to find a caterer to deliver on all levels: delicious food, on-time delivery, accessible when needed. Smokin Ain't EZ BBQ checked all the boxes. Sam was extremely helpful in guiding me with the amount of food needed to serve during a difficult time. I really appreciated Sam's curiosity and open-mindedness to bring vegan options to his menu, too. My event included: Pecan Smoked Pulled Pork, Texas Style Smoke Chopped Brisket, EZ Smoked Pulled Chicken, EZ Smoked Country Sausage & Onions,Bodacious Baked Beans, Creamy Key West Coleslaw, Pepper Du Potato Salad, Southern Style Green Beans & Ham, and EZ Mac N Cheese. Although I did not taste any of the food, I asked everyone what they enjoyed the most. Here are their faves in order of most consumed: Chopped Brisket, Mac N Cheese, Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Pulled Chicken, Green Beans, Potato Salad, Cole Slaw. My only regret is I didn't capture any pictures to validate my review. If you're skeptical of a vegan's review, know that I had 90 people in attendance that will agree with me. Valrico, Riverview, and Brandon have a hidden gem with Smokin' Ain't EZ BBQ!
