Drive Thru BBQ Soul Food Catering & Events - The tray of meat that came with the #1 Bundle

This is just a delight to stop by and get a whole lot of good food to take home. The prices are…read moregreat and the portions are generous. Where once was a Shell gas station/mini mart on the corner of Thomasville Road and 7th Avenue is now a red food trailer serving smoked delights for you to take home. Mr. King cooks up some good ribs, chicken, pulled pork and sausage on that corner and the side options complete the meal but you best save room for some bread pudding too. He told me he has been working on perfecting that bread pudding and I think he has been successful. There's lots of parking and some outdoor seating if you can't wait until you get your food home.

We first tried King's BBQ many years ago when he had a storefront on Pensacola street. Since then…read morehe has moved a small mobile kitchen from place to place around town. We tried to follow him but it was rare to find the stand open. It has probably been ten years since we last found him open and I have been jonesing for his delicious smoked bbq the whole time! We have had all kinds of different versions of bbq all over the country. They can vary quite a bit and we have never had a bad experience; but King's, now called Drive-Thru BBQ Tally, right here in Tallahassee, is my favorite by far. Thank you to the foodies who alerted us to this location. I am not one to be able to break down the intricacies of ingredients and flavor profiles, I am only able to give a general idea of the taste. His sauce is not a thick tomato based one like most and the meat is not overly rubbed or seasoned but has a good smoke flavor to it. His sauce is the consistency of maple syrup with the color of golden honey. It is sweet and flavorful, which I love. I have never seen bbq sauce like this. We braved a Tallahassee afternoon monsoon today and got soaking wet getting our order and it was worth it. We ordered the DT BBQ Bundle #1, which included 1.5 slabs smoked ribs (I counted 20 bones); 5 smoked chicken leg quarters with thighs and drumsticks separated, and five smoked sausage links, as well as four large sides. We chose baked beans, mac and cheese, cole slaw and potato salad. The sides are great and round out a full meal. The smoked sausages are some of the best I have had anywhere. There is more than enough food for five to ten adults. We will be using this for meals for several days. At less than $50, this is the best meal deal in town, bar none! The menu includes ribs, chicken or sausage dinners, pulled pork and pulled chicken sandwiches, desserts, and more sides than we named above. Drive-Thru BBQ is at the corner of 7th Avenue and Thomasville Road in Mid-Town. They are open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from noon to 8(or until they sell out). Be sure to get there early so you don't miss out. I hope this iteration of Mr. King's BBQ (see dtbbqtally on FB) sticks around for a long time. I don't want to have another unrequited craving for a decade again.

Great food ambience and service! Great tea and brisket and chicken bbq!!!…read more Highly recommended

I have been here twice now. Once quite a while ago near when they first opened and again today. The…read moremost recent visit was to scout the location out because friends had expressed an interest in trying them and we needed to make sure a power wheelchair could navigate the restaurant. All is good on that front but the fact that my first visit didn't impress me enough to come back is telling. I couldn't tell you what I ordered last time but we ordered the 3 meats this time with a 2 side combo that got us fries, baked beans and a fountain drink. Got lean brisket, pulled chicken and classic sausage. The pulled chicken was flavorful and I would get it again but the brisket and sausage were bland. The fries are like home cut and cooked style, similar to 5 Guys but not as salty. We enjoyed them. The baked beans were bland. The wife enjoyed the cornbread but it was crumbly. The dining area is one big space with a variety of seating options including booths and tables for 2, 4 and more. You order at the counter and they bring you your food. Drinks are DIY although there is an ice cooler on the way in with some specialty soda bottles to choose from. We shall return at least one more time with our friends because they live nearby and want to check it out and i will give the pulled pork a try then but it's likely I will stick to the BBQ places closer to home that we enjoy. The food is just a little too plain here for my taste.

I wish I tried them sooner!…read more Excellent food with even better prices- not to mention great customer service. I have driven past this place for over two years, and I would always tell myself that I will try it one day. Well, today was the day and I am SO glad I did! I got the jerk chicken dinner, which cam with two sides. I got the collard greens and potato salad, upon recommendation. I was in and out in under 10 minutes with my to-go container, paying $9 total for the meal. CRAZY. What's even crazier is how much QUALITY food you get! I had 2 legs and 2 thighs of some of the juiciest, most flavorful chicken I have had from a restaurant. The collard greens were the best I have had- full of garlic and savory flavor, and not one-note or bitter like I am used to. I will skip the potato salad for the mac and cheese next time, I picked up on a sweet flavor there that just didn't do it for me, but that's on me. I am very glad I FINALLY stopped by here. Very friendly people, great food, and awesome prices. Yes please.

I thought the chicken and pork ribs were well seasoned and tasted good. The sides weren't all that…read moreat all. Had the Mac & cheese and baked beans. The Mac & cheese didn't tasted like it was box made, not homemade and just wasn't hitting the spot. It's a food truck so beware that it'll be very hot outside when waiting/ordering your food. The music they were playing was really loud and made it difficult to hear/understand each other, plus lots of flies swarming everywhere. Very nice customer service for sure. Lastly, I completely forgot to take a pic of my food.
