    Two meat with two sides dinner
    Jonathan S.

    I've always liked hole in the walls and or quirky places. This is definitely one of them and I must say this one does not disappoint. I had the ribs, brisket with two side ( mac & cheese as well as baked beans ). I received 4 rib bones and they were very meaty. The brisket was tender but I had a lot of fat on it. My wife had the pull chicken and she said it was one of the best ones that she had ever had. She had some of my sides and she enjoyed both of those. And that says a lot because we are both mac & cheese snobs. The cost was a tad bit more than I would usually pay but not by much. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good bbq. This place is kinda hidden so be patient and drive slow so you don't pass it up

    I have always heard of smoke oxtails, but I could never find any around me. I'm so happy that someone told me that Rack City Ribz sell smokes oxtails, but only on Sundays. But lucky for me it's Sunday! I got the dinner oxtails with potato salad and cornbread, and all of it was really good! The oxtails were cooked perfectly with great flavor. The potato salad to me has a sweeter taste to it, but it's not too overwhelming. And the cornbread is really good too. I could tell it's homemade. Is in a food truck and the food truck area was clean which is good. And the service was good also. I'll definitely be back to try their other options they serve.

    Don't let "food truck" fool you. These folks are serious about their bbq!!! The first time we visited was about 30 minutes before close. The food was piping hot, full of flavor and attentively made. My Dad asked for a repeat because the ribs were so tender. The repeat, with family from Houston, didn't disappoint. The only challenge we had both times was they ran out of beans. On the third try we catered for an 80th Birthday celebration. The beans, potato salad, chicken and ribs were all impeccable. Their sauces are a wonderful blend of seasoning that complement a well loved craft. You can tell Alex and the team love what they do. You will not regret visiting for a taste or to cater your next event. Food, Service is outstanding!

    It's in the name for a reason! The best ribs in Tampa. I am excited to try more items on the menu. The potato salad is sweet and oh so good! Great spot!

    The sampler

    This father and son duo do a PHENOMENAL job with the quality of meats, sauces and rubs they have available. EVERYTHING is made from scratch. The flavor, the smoke, the rub and the sauce is memorable in every bite! The father welcomes you in like family while the son chops the meat and prepares the orders and someone else brings the order out to you. Awesome family established food truck that sets the bar in the BBQ industry with the PLENTIFUL menu options available! If you want just meats and no sides they can do that without the extra charge. There's something for every appetite and order without needing or taking something that you don't want. I had the sampler that has a little of everything. They use uncle John's sausage which I love rather than what I would consider hot dog links on a grill from other brands. The ribs were smoky, juicy and smack worthy with flavor! Pulled pork needed no introduction with its insurmountable flavor! Sausage was just another bite of give me more! Portion sizes are for adults! Left happy and full with leftovers to take home.

    Meat Madness special
    Jonathan C.

    The food was amazing. I am not from Florida originally. I have to say this is the best barbecue I've had in Florida. The service was very good and the atmosphere is fine. It's a food truck so you get your food and you can take it home. The only complaint is, I purchased the meat madness special and two additional sides. It's supposed to come with bread, but they forgot to give me bread. Other than that, it was very very good. My wife and I will be coming back again and will tell others about this place. Thank you.

    Mac N Cheese and Potato Salad
    Erika H.

    This place is a bbq gem of Gibsonton!!!!! Wow, coming back again, amazing food overall! We tried a platter that had tasty ribs, tender brisket, spicy sausage, sweet pulled pork, and falling off the bone chicken with a side gooey Mac n cheese and creamy potato salad! Rack City Ribz they know what they are doing!!! Definitely a must! Check out their website you can order for pick but if you just show up the wait is very short. There are tables and chair to eat there, we couldn't wait to dig in. The staff are super friendly and great service!!! Oh and they have sweet tea along with Coke products and water. Great ambiance and shading right off the 41, great stop when traffic is bad!

    Beef Brisket Dinner
    Danessa D.

    One of the BEST bbq spots in Tampa Bay. The ribs, the sauces, the brisket, the sides.....all phenomenal!!! It's worth the drive! The owners are incredibly kind as well!

    Ribs with baked beans and Mac n cheese
    Stephanie M.

    Some of the best bbq I've had in FL. Ribs are fantastic. Beef brisket is tender, a bit salty, but delicious. The corn casserole is fantastic! Moist & sweet, absolutely perfect. From the baked beans and Mac n cheese to peach cobbler, nothing has been a miss. Also available to order on Uber Eats!

    Smoked Chicken Bowl which was smaller than a kids meal.  Steer clear, you'll still be hungry after eating this snack.
    D D.

    I ordered the rib dinner with some brisket and a chicken bowl. Both items came to $40. The chicken bowl wasn't in a bowl, it was in a Japanese style small snack tray with 1 1/2 scoops of macaroni on the bottom with a chopped chicken leg on top. I was charged $17 for a meal fit for a baby. If I knew the bowl wasn't really a bowl I would not have ordered it.

    4 Piece St. Louis Ribs, Mac and Cheese and Greens
    Christine M.

    This is the best BBQ I have EVER had! Everything is so flavorful and the different bbq sauces complements the meal. My favorite is the mustard bbq sauce. Entrees: 4 piece Ribs with Mac and Cheese and Greens. All phenomenal. The Mac and cheese was very cheesy and the greens were perfect. Fried Chicken Special. It came with yams which were savory and sweet. Rice and beans were tasty and had a little kick to it as well. Al la carte: Small Beef Brisket- Wow is the only way I can describe it. This was my favorite! The next time I will order this as my entree. Dessert: Peach Cobbler- Delicious! The perfect way to end the meal. Drink: Homemade Sweet Tea- It was not overly sweet and just the way I like. For others it may not be sweet enough. The owner is very personable and friendly. We will definitely return!

    Sausage dinner .... So good!
    Bre F.

    This place needs a lot of exposure! It's such a hidden gem in gibsonton. The food is ALWAYS good and the sauces are A-mazing. Im super picky about my bbq and this place meets ALL expectations.

    Dee's Family BBQ 8811 US-301, Riverview, FL 33578…read more@deesfamilybbq Had the pleasure of visiting this Family owned business restaurant in Riverview where nothing but customer love is displayed to you. This friendly place will make you feel welcomed and you will love thier BBQ. If you're looking for some good grubbin BBQ, come try Dee's Family in Riverview. They take pride in making thier food from scratch. Located right of 301 hwy. They also do catering services too for any events. What I had: 1) Brisket and Ribs- Phenomenal 2) Smoked Oaxtail- Good Bite to sink into 3) Sides- every sides they served combined well with the BBQ 4) Sweet Tea- Refreshing 5) Peach Cobbler or Pecan- a dessert you don't want miss tasting.

The restaurant has a clean look with pictures of the food on the wall. All of the food is cooked fresh daily. I was impressed by the menu options and definitely want to try everything on the menu. I ordered the brisket which was delicious. The meat had a nice flavor and was tender. They have 3 barbecue sauce options: Sweet Chili, Jerk Barbecue and Carolina Gold. I loved the Carolina Gold on my brisket. The green beans were also fresh with a good flavor and the truffle Mac and cheese was delicious. The prices were fair. I definitely will be back to try some other items and recommend this restaurant.
