    Fries
    Selina S.

    My friends and I decided to stop by Sababa BBQ for an early dinner this past weekend. We wanted to try a variety of items so the waiter recommended we do the family platter, but they were able to give us a half size since we weren't that big of a group. This was the perfect option for us so we could try all the appetizers and the meats! The food was delicious, especially served with the garlic spread and Shatta. I recommend this place for authentic middle eastern bbq.

    Mixed grill

    New spot alert so happy we stopped in for a quick bite - the food was unreal! Hubby and I just split one mixed grill and it comes with fries or rice and 3 other sides AND pita. It was enough to share since we weren't so hungry, but also not so big that you can't get your own. Everything was so flavorful and great portions for the price. The fries were superrr crispy and all three meats were cooked to perfection. They also gave us some garlic sauce (not pictured) and i practically drank it - it was that good. Speaking of drinks, the mint lemonade was very refreshing. It was like a slushie which I wasn't expecting, but was a pleasant surprise. The service was great and the restaurant was clean and open. Will be back again ASAP to try their sandwiches they also looked very good. Show this amazing local business some love you won't regret it!

    We ordered the family platter and falafel sandwich. The food was incredibly flavorful with enough to take home. All the workers were warm and attentive. The atmosphere was clean and cozy. I would eat here again and you should too!

    The food was flavorful. Food was out in 20 minutes and staff were very attentive. The inside is minimally decorated yet cozy and authentic. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!

There was no sign or arrows to direct guest (i was not the only first time guest) on where to order. One customer told me she was there for more than 40 minutes and no one told her that she had to go up to a small 3 x 3 box in the wall and order her food BEFORE shifting over to the grand window where you make your payment and confirm your food order. Once we figured out that process together It was still a pretty long wait for the food to be served (Togo). Please please order yourself a banana pudding, red velvety cake slice AND. A strawberry crunch cake slice. do yourself the favor. The desserts were PHENOMENAL. I ordered a rib dinner which was pretty tasty. I was not a huge fan of the Mac and cheese but the ribs were tender and flavorful alongside the desserts!

Went with the ribs because the lady in front of me ordered a slab and said it was her dinner and when she turned around she had no fronts, no disrespect intended, so I knew they would be tender!!! Everything was flavorful not a disappointing bite in the dish!! Next up is the oxtails! Sorry for the pic presentation i had to taste before commenting.

People were not only raving about how good the food was, but the hospitality and customer service. As a former service industry veteran, great customer service goes a long way in my book. First of all, I actually had the pleasure of meeting Mel (the owner). He's so sweet and he takes great pride in his business. He already had a line when I pulled up around 2pm on a Saturday, but he kept it moving. BBQ chicken is my go to at any cookout, so l ordered Mel's chicken dinner. It comes with two sides, but l added an extra side bc we eat leftovers over here. The chicken was cooked perfectly and he gave me a couple of sauces to try. (Highly recommend asking him about his homemade sauces!) The sides were also amazing. My favorites were the baked beans and the collard greens. He uses smoked turkey in his greens like my dad does and I cleaned my bowl. If you're ever looking for BBQ in Tampa, FL remember to look for Big Mel in the yellow food truck on Nebraska Avenue. He offers catering as well, so be sure to reach out and support your local businesses!

    The food there was absolutely delicious I had no complaints everything was perfect the chicken,…read more ribs, pulled pork, turkey legs,sausages, dirty rice, baked beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese and my favorite his collard greens with smoked turkey legs, go get you a dinner or two, I promise you won't be disappointed

    I have never come across exceptional barbecue in Florida until I tried The Liberty Smokehouse. 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.

    Liberty has the brisket I've ever tasted, moist, tender and flavorful. It's perfect. I normally…read moredon't like bbq sauce as it's usually too sweet. Both the mustard style and regular bbq sauces are very well balanced, tangy, slightly sweet, with a tiny bit of spice. I never want to eat at any other bbq place. I can't wait for them to open the brick and mortar place, Waters and Fl, by the Wawa. I drove 30 mins to find this food truck and it was worth the gas money and being out in the summer heat. 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.

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.
