    The pit master that makes the magic happen, he makes the best bbq around.  The perfect balance of season and smoke!
    D D.

    My son's and I were looking for a place to get some good barbecue after visiting the barbershop and we came across Pibb's Rib Shack. I knew the food was going to be good after smelling the meat cooking over the wood on our way to the order window. The food did not disappoint, it was deliciously seasoned, smoked to perfection and reasonably priced. We will definitely be eating there again real soon. If you happen to stop by tell them you want the President's special, that'll probably make the pit masters day!

    Wow! Go early in the day if you want something specific! They sell out fast because their food is delicious! We ordered the family brisket meal. Comes with two sides. We added green beans and coleslaw. The brisket was delicious! Moist and tender. They have barbecue sauces right by the register. We grabbed one of each, spicy, regular, and sweet. We also ordered a second family meal of sausage with fries and baked beans. We arrived on a Saturday near closing time, and these were the options left. I am happy we had an opportunity to try their other options because it was all good. More incentive to come back for more! Would recommend!

    2 Meat Dinner (brisket and ribs, Mac and cheese & green beans)

    Had the pleasure of trying Pibb's for the first time this weekend. Called to place an order about an hour ahead. They were out of the Collard Greens, but I will be back to give those a try. I got the 2 meat dinner, which comes with two sides. I chose the Mac and cheese and green beans. Both were solid choices and accompanied the meats well. If you are only going to try one thing from Pibb's, you absolutely MUST get the Brisket. I've never in my life had brisket (or anything for that matter) melt in my mouth like the brisket did. AMAZING! I also tried both their regular and mustard barbecue sauces. The Mustard BBQ sauce was delicious. I look forward to trying the spicy bbq on the next visit.

    Ribs and sweet bbq sauce

    I'm not the biggest fan of bbq food, but Pibb's Rib Shack was impressive. Placed my order over the phone, and the food was ready for pickup 15-20 minutes later. I ordered a rib meal, with beans and potato salad as my sides. I really enjoyed the baked beans and the potato salad was good, although I enjoy a little more texture (crunch) in my potato salad. The ribs portion was huge, although a little fatty for my taste, the meat itself was tender and flavorful, and I could tell a lot of love and patience went into its preparation. If you're a lover of all things bbq, you really should check them out! Great, friendly service, and they don't skimp on their portion sizes.

    Pibb's Rib Shack was darn good bbq. This food truck was posted up outside my apartment complex one evening during our scheduled food truck night. Pibb's had a decent amount of options to choose from, including sandwiches and dinner meals. They offered chicken, beef, ribs, pulled pork, meatloaf, sausage, brisket. Pretty much anything you could want. I went with a two meat meal. I always like be able to try a variety and at only $13 for the two meat meal with 2 sides, it was a great deal. I ordered the pulled pork and the brisket. For my sides, mac and cheese and collard greens. The meal was hefty and large portioned. The two meats were topped with my choice of sauce, sweet bbq. The pulled pork was top quality, not fatty, juicy and packed with flavor. With the sauce on it, it was awesome. The brisket was also fantastic. The long, thin strips of meat had that slight char on the edges, juicy and flavorful. The mac and cheese was creamy, baked and super good. The collard greens had great flavor as well. Everything was standout and I'd definitely eat here again. Top quality bbq.

    Nov 2019. Hint : Get the ribs & collards:-) You're welcome!

    GO! RUN! THIS IS THE PLACE FOR RIBS! Open just Saturdays & Sundays! . BEST ribs I've had in 25 yrs! . Wonderful husband, wife, & son team. (Dad's also employed by the school district.) HANDS DOWN THE BEST RIBS I've found in the Tampa Bay Area! (Have I said "best" enough?) Large ribs, the meat falls off-the-bone tender, & just the right amount of fat! Incredible! . The collards were delish & the slaw was good (a little more wet than I like). Sooooooooooooooo incredibly GOOD ribs, & the prices were spot on! Located on the Tires Plus property...

    Half chicken collards and Mac

    Not bad at all! I ordered the half chicken with Mac and collards! The chicken was packed with flavor, I was rather impressed! The collards were average and Mac was just a little above average! But their proteins alllllll looked good! If I'm up that way again I'll give their brisket a try! I'll drop some pics below! Oh and by the way it is off in the cut and kind of hard to find!

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.

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.
