I hate saying anything negative about a small business but this one was so disappointing. I had it on my list to visit for a couple of years now, looking forward to tasting some good home southern BBQ. I first checked their Google page and menu to be sure what I wanted to get. But when I got there the prices were drastically higher. I had planned on the brisket plate but once there I was told it was $31 and there was no way I was paying that for BBQ for one person. Google had it listed for $18. Next was the ribs but that was $17 for 6 bones no sides. So I decided to go with a classic pulled pork sandwich which came with one side. Their recommendation was Mac n cheese so I went with that. Usually I love Baked Beans but with it being my first time I wanted to taste what people rave about. The man who took my order, not sure if he was the owner or not was very nice and accommodating. And I did mention the google discrepancy. Now here is where the one star comes in and this pains me because I hate giving 1star reviews especially in this case but the pulled pork had no flavor, the bbq sauce wasn't good, the Mac n cheese also not great. All was extremely subpar from a place that should specialize in BBQ then throw in the high prices there was nothing worth giving a better rating. Even with the Mac n cheese you could throw some small bits of brisket or ribs in it to give it that Smokey bbq flavor similar to how Sonny's has bits of meat in their baked beans. Truthfully I have never had BBQ that I didn't like until today. Usually there is good BBQ and great BBQ but sadly I've had better BBQ at Thanksgiving with Joe and his smoker. I was the only one there at 7pm on a Saturday but it's also not a restaurant so that could be why. I am confused about the good reviews and wonder if it's just locals hyping it up out of support. But for me, I've been writing fair, honest reviews for 15 years so if I write one it's going to be real. If this review helps you, great And if you are somebody who loves Reels BBQ then that's amazing and hope you continue to support this small business and they stay successful. Sadly for me it was a one and done read more

The quality of meat has been good recently. I hope it can always maintain good quality. Thank you! read more

This is our GO TO spot on the bike trail to grab food! We come here every month and the food is always AMAZING! This time we got their new octoberfest nachos, which were to die for! And I tried their wings for the first time and holy crap, blew me away. We only eat here when we bike! The guys that work in the truck are super accommodating too. 10/10 place! read more

Good BBQ is a rare find in Alaska. Apparently, in Florida, you can just stumble upon it without even trying! We found this place outside de Bine Brewing. We just came for the beer but got insanely lucky to also find stunning BBQ! The sauces were house-made and fantastic. The food came out fast, and the meats were perfectly cooked. The sides were also well thought out. Was it done with some crispy brews and and...what more could you want?! read more

This BBQ spot has got it all! I love BBQ and I try as many places as I can. Real BBQ is by far the best brisket in West Florida, perfect pull, perfect chew, great bark. Served unsauced, this brisket is like being transported to Lockhart, TX to the kings of brisket. The applewood smoked Cobia is also perfectly cooked. It's easy to over-smoke some white fleshed fish. This was definitely not too smokey, just pure deliciousness. Likewise, the pulled pork is as good as you can find in the Carolinas. The sides are tasty too, with a couple of Keto friendly sides also. We will return as soon as possible. read more

Great food, great service!! Definitely coming back.. try the brisket nachos!!!!!!!!!!

Our first visit and the food was amazing. The bbq sauce and sides are delicious. I had the grilled turkey and cheese sandwich and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich. Excellent customer service and friendly staff. It's located next to a brewery so you can enjoy your BBQ food with a cold beverage. read more

Super nice people got the grilled cheese with brisket. It was small think 2 pieces of Texas garlic toast you'd buy in your freezer section as a grilled cheese, it was just a tich bigger than that. It was good, the brisket was super fatty and to be honest I wouldn't order it again with brisket or even meat as the garlic toast is over powering you don't get to taste the meat. The bbq sauce was fine but it has corn syrup in it. Nice they are on site so if your hungry you can grab something but I wouldn't go outta by way to go here. read more

Nearly finishing my bike ride on the trail I spied Reel BBQ food truck on the side of the road and decided to come back for lunch. I saw the unique Pulled Pork Grilled Cheese sandwich and went with that. The owner of the truck was a very friendly guy and a good conversationalist. In a few minutes my order was ready, so I sat at one of his tables and starting chowing down on a greasy-in-a-good way bbq sandwich. You control the amount of sauce, so at his recommendation I went with the Reel variety and it was pretty good. The meat on the sandwich was very tender, and the portion was really suitable for two people. Although it was a little bit pricey, I would not say it was crazy expensive. All in all it was a nice break from restaurant bbq. Supporting local businesses is the way to go. read more

Great bbq and service. Tried a 2 meat plate...wagyu brisket and ribs with beans and coleslaw and Mexican Coca Cola. Excellent lunch. The owner does an excellent job smoking the bbq, prepares the meals with excellent presentation and delivers them to your table. Works his butt off for each customer. Even took care of some of our trash on his way back to his food trailer to get the next customer's food. Great smoke flavor, no added preservatives, and makes everything himself. Well worth the stop. read more

For the last six months it is a weekly treat. Generous servings cover a couple meals, great lunch following day! Ribs melt in your mouth, smoked Cobia is amazing (leftovers make great fish spread, yum!), crunchy slaw, pulled pork tender and lean. We usually take home a combo, occasionally stay at The brewery for a cold brew. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Brisket, Mac n cheese, Spicy sausage too, dogs and grilled cheese for kidos. Great friendly, fast service...awesome food truck fixed location in Palm Harbor. Check it out! read more

It use to be better I got the brisket and sausage both were pretty dry. They should leave the sausage whole also not cut up.

They have moved the truck and now located at Da Bine Brewery 993 Florida Ave, Palm Harbor, FL 34683. We came and got the Cinna-beast on Sunday. It's a cinnamon bun with beef brisket, bacon, 2 eggs, cheese. Omg ! $11 and we split it. Highly recommend. Everything was cooked to perfection. Had a couple of drafts and started the Sunday off right! read more

I liked Reel BBQ so much I ate here 2 days in a row. It's a great place to stop for lunch and a brew after a long bike ride on the Pinellas Trail. I had the Pork Grilled Cheese with pulled-pork and the Mac & Cheese side. Both were great. My riding partner had the 2-meat plate with brisket and pulled pork which came with 4-5 strips of brisket. Owner was friendly and inquired several times if everything was okay. Great food truck! Next time I'm on the trail I'll be stopping by again. read more

Awesome bbq and sauces! Great service and good location! We had the ribs, brisket, pulled pork combos!

Stopped at de Bine brewing to sample some stouts and checked out Keel BBQ for some lunch with my wife. Delicious pulled pork and brisket sandwiches with generous sized sides of baked beens and mac & cheez. If you like BBQ this is a must go. Big menu and down home attention to the customer. We left fat and happy! read more

OMG, I've found the ribs for me. I've tried most of the BBQ places in the area and by far, Reel BBQ are THE best. It was my first time here so I just got the ribs, but only because they were out of the beef brisket. Can not wait to try the brisket, pulled pork grilled cheese, BBQ baked beans, coleslaw,,,,,oh heck, everything. Bravo Reel BBQ !! read more

I was a regular here up until today. Last visit we had a rack of ribs that were undercooked (highly unusual for them) and we returned them and ate the rest of our meal. Went to give him another chance today and the owner decided to scream at and pound his fists at me and my 75 year old mother. No way to do business! He was extremely aggressive and his behavior was completely unnecessary! Beware! read more

I really hate thrashing small businesses on Yelp, but how in the fugg this food truck has a 4.5 rating is beyond me. First of all, the guy working there needs to do some market research and get to know his audience. I can guaran-freaking-tee you that none of them are interested in hearing Tupac's Makaveli album blasting out of the speakers. I mean, WTF is this guy thinking? "Ya know, I'm gonna blast some Gangsta Rap out the truck today. Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do." Second, the food sucked. Absolutely and without question the worst que I've ever eaten in my life. The cole slaw was old and turning sour and the pulled pork had almost no smoky flavor at all. It tasted as if it was rushed - maybe cooked in 2 or 3 hours or something. The sauces sitting outside were all congealed and the bottles were all sticky. Seriously, what in the balls is going on here? I paid $12 for my food and might have eaten 1/4 of it. I should have bought some lottery tickets instead. read more

The bbq is good, the service and willingness to accommodate was a bit off-putting. The seating is limited to two tables and a few stand up barrels. At the cost of what you can get at a dine-in restaurant, not sure I would return. read more

This place is fantastic. We've been many times and the ribs are the best around. Today we tried something new the salad with turkey and the crevice was outstanding. One of the best places to eat in Palm Harbor. The beer at DeBine is the perfect combo. read more

Super accommodating last minute when I called to get enough food for 15 people. Sides and meats all are amazing

This spot is the Reel Deal! Delicious pulled pork sandwiches piled high with succulent juicy pork and an accompanied by a selection of tasty sauces. The "bucket" is a reel feast with layered mac & Cheese, beans pulled pork or their upgraded "wagyu brisket"and coleslaw. All at a great price point! Much more on the menu to try..... Keep in mind that the older reviews were based on possibly a different owner when the truck was originally positioned across the street. The new truck is now next to the DeBine brewery and whomever is running the show has made significant improvements in the quality of the food and the service. read more

Finally tried this place. First the good, the beans were good. As for everything else, I'd rate it as "Meh". The pulled pork and ribs had no smoke flavor. Absolutely no bark on the pulled pork whatsoever. Nothing special about the Mac & Cheese. I saw a bag of Kingsford charcoal which probably explains why there was no smoke flavor . I also felt like their prices were too high, especially for the brisket which is why I didn't try it. I am not sure why BBQ places in Florida miss the mark when it comes to good tasting BBQ ‍ read more

Shit was bomb!! Get the bucket with brisket! Kids loved the Mac n cheese! Next time I'm gonna try the grilled pork and cheese sandwich!

Wonderful roadside BBQ! We didn't visit the brewery. We had 2 pulled pork BBQ sandwiches. 1 Side macaroni & cheese. 1 Side coleslaw. The BBQ was tender and flavorful. It doesn't have BBQ sauce on it. YEAH! Macaroni & cheese was GREAT. Coleslaw is...different. It's a vinegar based coleslaw? The service was EXCELLENT! Ask to taste the BBQ sauce. We should have. read more

First visit. VERY satisfying! 4.5 / 5 stars. Will update later w/more details. Yes...I'll return when in the area. read more

There are closed every Sunday and Monday, and on Tuesday to Friday opened from 11:00am - 6:00pm (or until there are sold out) read more

So yummy!! A great little local food truck with delicious BBQ!! The better thing is getting to go and walking over to De Bine Brewery and getting good beer. But back to the food.... Everything on the menu is delicious, they have picnic tables out front for you to eat outside and make their own BBQ sauce. If you are from Palm Harbor you know about this place and if you aren't then you need to try ASAP! read more

Today I tried explaining Yelp to my dad. When I told him that the random BBQ trailer on Alt. 19 had 5 stars he immediately said, "I almost pulled in there today, let's go!!" Another dreamy BBQ joint brought to my attention only by Yelp. We pulled up around 6pm and stood outside for a while hoping someone was inside. The owner came to the window and apologized because he was doing dishes. This guy does everything and he does it well! He deserves the five stars and I'm hoping the review number will increase, this place needs to be discovered! For taking the order, cooking, AND assembling... the food came out quickly. We waited no longer than five minutes for $40 worth of food. It was also all very fresh. I don't know how this man does it! We ordered a whole chicken, one pulled pork grilled cheese, one pulled pork sandwich, 16 oz beans, 16 oz slaw, and 4 oz mac to try. I'll start with my favorite part: THE SAUCES. So much flavor. I especially loved the Reel sauce, the mustard and sweet sauce mix with a little bit of a kick. The hot was also very flavorful and not too spicy, but offered a good amount of kick and flavor to my sandwich. My mac was very cheesy and I wish I had gotten a bigger serving! I also had the pulled pork grilled cheese, the cheese on both sides of the bread offered a good structure for the amount of pork that was loaded on! At first glance it looked like a small serving, but the meat itself could last me two meals. The beans and slaw weren't the best I've ever had, but were good. The slaw and mac I would definitely order again! I'm very impressed with this place and wish I had tried it sooner. It's been sitting in my bookmarks for months! Get yourself here soon, people of Palm Harbor! read more

Pretty disappointed! Super small portions of meat for a high price. The brisket was decent but only 2 tiny strips were included with the plate. Fatty Pulled pork and sides all below average. Worst cole slaw I've ever had. Would've liked to try the grilled cheese but with the prices and mediocrity, probably won't give it another shot. read more

We just tried this little joint and have fallen in love! Got the brisket, chicken, and Mac and cheese. The addition of crisp and fresh pickles was a nice surprise as well. Can't wait to come back and taste that tender brisket again! read more

Amazing food and reasonable prices! We stopped by on bikes and had an amazing lunch. Friends got the BBQ bucket and they loved it. Tacos with brisket were really good. I had the salad with the lemon vinaigrette dressing. I make my own dressings and I can be a salad dressing snob; this was one of the best I've ever tasted! The veggies and lettuce were perfectly prepared and I had smoked cobia fish on top. Cobia was like fish crack! I am in withdrawal right now thinking about it! Highly recommend you give this place a try! Note: no cash. Credit cards only! And if the brew pub also attracts your attention, you may not be able to get a beer until 3 pm when it starts serving; I believe Fri Sat Sun it serves starting at noon. read more

This is a BBQ truck on alternate 19 in Palm Harbor. We walked up to the truck and the employee working there was very friendly and very helpful. Suggested the ribs because they just brought them off the smoker. We really did not care for this barbecue stand because we felt the sweet sauce was a bit spicy, another sauce was spicy and we did not even try the spicy sauce. The ribs were good but very crispy on the outside. Some people like that I thought they were a little bit burnt. They were also spicy. The barbecue pork had no smoke flavor and it was plain. This is not the type a barbecue we like for and will not be back read more

The pulled pork grilled cheese was amazing but I can't say the same about their coleslaw. They call it creamy coleslaw but it was very dry. It really was just large pieces of chopped cabbage. read more

Have been meaning to stop by and check it out since December. Ordered the pork sandwich which comes with 2 sides and a can of soda for $7. Add 'grilled cheese style' for an extra $2. We had the mac n cheese and beans. The sandwich was ultra stuffed and made with texas toast style garlic bread. Had a nice grilled crunch to it. The cheese was melted and the whole thing was about as perfect as one can get. They do not douse it in bbq sauce but there are 4 to choose form at the picnic tables. You can also pour your own to go bbq sauce if you get it to go. The mac n cheese was some of the best I have had. It was thick but melted cheese and very tasty. The beans were probably the mediocre part of the meal. Not bad but also not the star of the show. Napkins at the table and forks at the food truck. We could have used a knife to cut the sandwich in half. Large enough menu to meet anyone's needs unless you are vegan or vegetarian. They do offer cole slaw though so vegetarians rejoice. Parking is ample and there is a large trash can for your trash. We would definitely return if we were in the area. We are always searching for bbq that is midwest worthy. Well done. This one is also the guy that is down at festivals such as the Dunedin beer festival. I would rather stop by on a day like this when they are not being run ragged. read more

After a long day at the beach, the family was looking for something casual and scrumptious. Reel BBQ was a great answer! After reading the reviews, we knew we could sit outside in our swimsuits. Glad we decided to stop. Got the family meal which included pulled pork and 1/2 a chicken, and two sides. We went with baked beans and mac & cheese. Everything was awesome. Pork and chicken were both tender and tasty. The sweet bbq sauce was great and my wife loved the spicy sauce. The all-star of the meal was the mac and cheese. Don't know what he includes in ingredients but WOW! Will certainly come back! read more

Nice little bbq food truck by the therapy clinic I take my girls too. Tried it for the first time today and, I must say, delish! I had their pork tacos and Mac n cheese. Their bbq sauce is yummy (I recommend their Reel BBQ sauce and the pork is nice and juicy. Mac n cheese is meh but maybe I'm being picky. The guy running the truck is very nice and helped me make my decision. Will come again. Decent price for BBQ too. read more

Saw this on Fox13 and was excited about a possible good BBQ. What a disappointment! Let's start with the pulled pork...it was overcooked and greasy, like they keep it soaking in the fat until serving it. It was shown as served on garlic bread, but we got a roll. The cole slaw was absolutely tasteless, no dressing to speak of, we had it on the side. We ordered baked beans, advertised as "with meat" , but none seen , and actually tasted like a can of pork and beans with a ton of molasses mixed in. Unfortunately, we have lived in Memphis for quite awhile, and maybe expect BBQ to taste like BBQ. In the lunch hour, they told customers " our smoker is down, it'll be about 30 minutes" , which had 1 customer very angry , he left. Seriously, don't waste your time, nothing special here. We won't be back Sonny's is tons better, and that's a chain restaurant. 2 stars for the bag of chips and can of Coke. read more
