    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.

    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've had their food at Lightning games & was very impressed. That was nothing compared to what we housed after a brutal few hours at Adventure Island (just 15 mins away FYI). Yard Bird was among the best I've had. Same for the collards & Mac & cheese. My boo had the superb cheese grits and 5-star cornbread casserole. Corn nuggets were a great appetizer. Service was excellent as well. Super friendly. This place belongs in the conversation for Tampa's best barbecue. Or, I could be a prisoner of the moment. You decide.

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.
