Great sandwich!! The brisket was really flavorful and juicy. A twist to a normal cuban sandwich but definitely worth trying! Make sure to call ahead since they sell out by midday. read more

Loved the smoked Cuban. Wow can't what to get that again. The sides are also spectacular.

Food and Service is so darn good. I use to go to the bears street location more frequently, before Station bbq relocated to the Nebraska ave location. I have been a few time however the days and hours is a bit challenging for me. I will make sure visit again soon. read more

Quite a small dining space leaving even less room for waiting for your food. The meat was cooked exceptionally well and all proteins were super tender. We did not enjoy the seasonings on the meats, but were able tolerate eating the food with the use of bbq sauce. The potato salad was not to my liking. I placed the order for a pick up time of 12p and we did not leave until 12:30p. I appreciate them for providing more food to compensate for the wait, but my time is something I cannot get back. read more

It's always the smallest restaurants that deliver the biggest flavors, and boy does this barbecue DELIVER! As someone who grew up eating Texas barbecue, Station House BBQ seriously impressed me - this cozy, family-run joint offers an amazing selection of cooked meats and traditional bbq sides, as well as some nontraditional sauces and flavors. I enjoyed a sampler platter consisting of brisket, burnt ends, baked beans, coleslaw, garlic toast, and some classic barbecue sauce to dip everything in. I honestly think this is the PERFECT plate, offering a nice mix of flavors and textures and delivering on all fronts! What I think really makes this place special, though, is the people running it. Everyone I interacted with was so friendly and welcoming, and I could tell how much pride they took in their cooking. On top of that, the owners and some of the employees are firefighters, which just makes you feel better about spending your money here! When you have a broken bone, you go to the hospital; when you have a hankering for a true Texan barbecue, you go to Station House BBQ! read more

$11 Smokin Cuban is neck and neck with Flan Factory for best one in all of Tampa Bay. I will say it's a little weird that the Cuban Sandwich is a lot better than their brisket. I got a half pound of brisket (wet) with 2 sides for $22.99. The brisket to me was plain, lacked flavor, and pretty boring. At least it was moist. I wouldn't order the brisket again. If you want brisket go to The Brisket Shoppe in Tampa. The best part about the brisket was dunking it into the Mustard sauce. The Mustard sauce might be the best item on the menu. I want to buy a bottle of it. The 2 sides I chose were: Cole Slaw - Finally someone in Tampa Bay can make Cole slaw 9/10. Mac N Cheese - Flavor was spot on, as was the texture. Slightly too cheesy for me. Solid 8/10. After eating all of that I was eyeing a chcolate chip cookie in the window so I got one. It was on point, but too much chocolate for me. Solid 7/10. Super small shop and like no parking. Also, they close at 3pm. read more

Why are so many firemen opening restaurants lately? First it was sandwiches, then pizza...and now BBQ? I'm not complaining--especially after my visit to Station House BBQ. This spot has had quite a journey. It started as a food truck, spent some time out in Lutz, and now it's landed in Seminole Heights for the past seven months. There's also a location inside MOSI, but I hit up the main spot on Nebraska Ave. I asked the guy behind the counter to hit me with their best recommendation, and he offered up a few solid picks. I went with their Cuban sandwich, which won 1st place at the 2025 International Cuban Sandwich Festival--and yeah, it lives up to the hype. Crispy, smoky, juicy perfection. They threw in a Carolina gold mayo-style dipping sauce, which I was told isn't normally included--just something the staff likes and wanted my to try. I see why. It took everything to the next level. The mac and cheese side was also outstanding--creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The sweet tea is complimentary, which is a nice Southern touch. The spot is clean and inviting, though parking is a bit of a challenge, and apparently the neighbors aren't thrilled--I was told I should move my car from their parking lot. Still, the food was worth the minor hassle and the wait. They do offer catering, too, which I'm definitely keeping in mind for the next work event I host. I'll absolutely be back. read more

Glad I found this spot! I can walk here from my house and will definitely need to because I'll be adding on some extra calories lol. BBQ was on point and did not miss! Unfortunately they were out of ribs and burnt ends but the brisket was so good and melts exactly how you want. The staff was super friendly and informative when we had questions. They have complimentary lemonade which was cool. The vibe is that of a fire fighter station. I dug it. read more

Ribs were amazing the other day, so tender yet stayed on the bone. Perfectly cooked and spiced. Guava BBQ sauce adds the perfect blend of flavor and sweet to the ribs. Smoked gouda mac and baked beans were over the top tasty! Portions are generous and the ordering and pick up were easy and on time. Thank you for taking care of us the other day and alwys bringing the best BBQ in town! read more

Pulled pork, brisket, ribs and sausage were all fabulous and moist enough I didn't use any sauces. Peach cobbler was unbelievable! Too bad they're open only two days a week because they're way busy catering. Note: frequent this place not just for the fabulous food but because they operate a PTSD organization for first responders. Buy shirts, rubs and sauces to help support this. read more

Brisket was very tender, but came out lukewarm/cold. Mac N Cheese lacked flavor but was so small we both finished ours. Baked beans was like Busch's baked beans dialed up. Overall, the biggest disappointment is we looked at their revolving screens first to decide what to order, only to find that the desserts listed are only offered for catering to avoid waste. Wish a "cobbler of the day" wasn't on the menu if no cobbler at all is offered. Currently only brownies and cookies are available for order when you walk in. Service was very nice and friendly and you can order through a person or via kiosk. read more

Station House BBQ has some of the very best ribs and brisket in the Tampa area. We come from Chicago and were raised on great ribs prepared at rib "joints" as well as in our own backyards. It's entirely fair to say we are barbecue snobs. Station House checks all the boxes!!! I'm getting hungry just writing about them!!! read more

Oh my goodness! The food that this team is putting out ROCKS! Could we talk about the fact that it is kind of like a mini food hall under one adorable roof?! Thank you team member Jordan for letting us know that right off the bat. The Smokin' Cuban and Station House BBQ were both open when we were there today at The Salt Smokehouse. The Baby Brisket's Breakfast Co. was not. So looking forward to checking that concept out soon. Okay, let's get to the Cuban sandwich we devoured today with the enthusiasm is two people who had not eaten in 2 days. That is not the case at all but you would have thought as much looking at the two of us in AWE of the flavors, the size of the sandwich and the overall combination of flavors. Our was the Smokin' Cuban...according to Jordan, their best seller. We also shared the Bella's Bowl which had sections of each unique and perfectly prepared ingredient nestled in a large bowl that allowed us to dive in with grace and pure pleasure! Overall this had to have been the BEST "That place looked interesting. Make a U-turn honey and let's check it out." place we have ever last-minute decided on that way and LOVED EVERY MOMENT of the dining experience. read more

Food was excellent. But it appears a got charged for the 57$ platter when all I had was three meats and a small beans and small Mac and cheese. But like I said the brisket was excellent. I have been in Tampa for over 30 years and I tried all the local Bar B Que spots. read more

I rarely give five-star ratings, but this establishment truly deserves it. The food is consistently excellent, and the owners and employees are always friendly and welcoming. Specifically, I've never enjoyed brisket until I tried it at Station House--it's truly exceptional. I even chose them to cater both my 50th and 51st birthday parties for two different groups, and everyone absolutely loved the food. As a picky eater, it's rare for me to praise a restaurant so highly, but Station House undeniably serves the best BBQ in Tampa, and I've tried many. All of their meats are delicious, and their sauces are fantastic. It's a must-try! read more

Lots of BBQ out in this area, but this is definitely one of the better ones. They advertise their "signature slow cooked" meats like chicken, pulled pork, brisket, and sausage. I am a huge sausage fan and that's what Iended up going for, 1/2lb combo with mexican street corn on the side. The sausage has the kind of casing I really like with a nice crisp snap and the meat is smoked and spiced very well. The street corn is just a bit bland, but you can always add salt and pepper or hot sauce or other condiment of choice. Service is quick and every one is courteous and professional. There is ample seating and the store is clean and ACed. Definitely wouldn't hesitate to come back. read more

My company ordered catering from here for a tailgating event and was 10/10. The ribs literally fell off the bone. The brisket was to tender. The baked beans was the perfect amount of sweet. The Mac and cheese was delicious. The coleslaw was the perfect balance between the savory and the beans. I would come back here and order from them again and again. Rob helped me pack my car and was so helpful. Their storefront is opening soon and I'm so happy to see it happen. The food is amazing and is everything I expected out of a BBQ place. One of the best I've had in tampa. read more

Best Cuban sandwich I ever had. Big chocolate cookies fresh from the oven too!! Try the burnt ends on Saturday's.

Good ol faithful (aka Yelp) coming through once again with the good eats. The hubby wanted bbq and Station House delivered. I love the theme around a fire house; the decor, names of sauces, it was fun. The menu is pretty straight forward but I love asking the staff what their favorites are and this time was no different. We had their brisket Cuban which was highly recommended. And yeah you read that right. A Cuban sandwich with ham and brisket. Beautifully pressed. On the messy side but what bbq isn't. We went with their Mac n cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans on the side. Mac and cheese was pretty good. Coleslaw had just the right amount of dressing to sweetness. And their baked beans were out of bounds. 'Maybe some of the best' the husband said. And the sauces. Can't not show love to their sauce display. White bbq, guava sauce, and a ton others. Each worth a try. All around friendly and enthusiastic staff serving up some delicious and authentic bbq. read more

Station house bbq was a great place hole in the wall place to eat some good bbq! We ordered 1/2 lb brisket and the chicken, which both had good flavor! I wish the brisket was a bit more tender, but granted we got there a little bit before they closed. We also ordered the baked beans, Mexican corn, mac and cheese, and broccoli salad. I thought the sides were all pretty good! The baked beans were a little too sweet for my liking, but I generally don't eat a lot of sweet things. They had a variety of sauces which were all fun to try. What really made this place worth it for me was the staff. I believe we had spoken with the wife of the establishment. She was extremely kind and personable towards us. Any questions we had about the menu, she of course had answers to. It was really good to feel her energy through the interaction we had with her. You can tell this restaurant is something she has put a lot of her time and efforts towards. There was just something special about her that really stood out to me that I really gravitated towards. I guess it's good to feel someone passionate about what they do. Definitely give this place some love the next time you're looking to eat some bbq. read more

As someone who doesn't really love bbq cause it always lets me down i can honestly say this was good. Got the two meats box and both the brisket and ribs were delicious. Very flavorful and i appreciate that you can choose lean vs moist brisket. Fries were made fresh and the seasoning is nice. The Mac n cheese was super tasty but personally I'd axe the breadcrumbs on top cause they seemed stale but that's my fault for not asking for them to not use it. I will for sure be back for more. Try it out! read more

Ohhhh man, this might be my new favorite BBQ place! I got a 1/2 lb of lean and moist brisket with loaded tots topped with sausage. Everyone has told me they think Brisket Shoppe has the best brisket in Tampa, but I genuinely think this place does it better. Even the lean parts were still so rich and juicy, I loved every single bite. I was also not expecting to get so much for the tots with basically a full serving of the sausage, the sweet sauce they use for it is especially amazing! It definitely sets it apart from other normal loaded tots. Mac and cheese was deliciously gooey, and I like the spiral macaroni instead of the regular kind. The sausage itself was also perfect with a nice, crispy skin. They also had a bunch of unique sauces here, I would highly recommend the guava sauce. Service here was also super friendly and sweet, I had actually pre-ordered for the wrong day and was worried I wouldn't be able to pick it up when I went, but they were very understanding and still gave me the full order, no questions asked. I love the idea of the restaurant being firefighter inspired, and it's fun looking at all the memorabilia and whatnot they've collected over the years. I will definitely come back soon, I really wanna try their cubano next time! read more

They even left to-go boxes for the officers to take home leftovers. The communication throughout the whole process was consistent and fast. I recommend them for your next party! read more

Read the reviews and love us some good BBQ so we headed out to try this place. Indoor and outdoor seating available. You place your order at the counter and you're given a number you place on us table. They will bring your food to your table. And if you're like me and cannot finish all the food they also have carry out containers. Sauces available and self serve at the front counter. We were greeted promptly and staff was friendly. I was a bit disappointed they didn't have a combo to choose a meat and side item. It's all a la cart. They do have a meal for 2 where you can choose 4 meats and 1 side however all the meats have to be different. I got the pulled pork sandwich and ended up taking it off the bun, along with the Gouda Mac and cheese. Hubs got the Station 40 which is pulled pork and sausage topped with coleslaw on a bun with side of street corn. Overall the food was very good. The meat was juicy and the Mac and cheese was delicious. I think the corn was too creamy but had an overall good taste. read more

First time here. The absolute BEST BBQ in Tampa! I am originally from Memphis, 23 years in Tampa and I can count on one hand when I have discovered just okay bbq, never great. I would say Mission and Hungry Harry's are now a very, very distant second. Station House nails it! The brisket(perfectly smoked, tender and spot on), the burnt ends(melt in your mouth), the beans(to die for, never have found even decent bbq beans), the collard greens(perfectly sweet and spicy). Freshly brewed tea too. They had burnt ends as a special. I asked if they could do a small portion of burnt ends on top of the brisket sandwich. They were happy to oblige. It was only a few dollars extra which I gladly paid and would and will do it all over again! That sandwich took me to another dimension I can't wait to return to again! And last, but certainly not least, Jerry, who made my meal and answered my questions, he was awesome! A great asset to the Station House team. read more

Sadly, I did not take a picture of the food when it came out. We were hungry and dug right in! The BBQ pulled pork and baked beans - delicious! We also ordered from The Smokin Cuban. The Smokin Cuban sandwich was ridiculous. The bread was amazing and combination of meats with jerk, mayo-mustard sweet quava BBQ - O M G! We also had Bella's Bowl with ALL the goodness. If are in the area, or even close, it's worth the stop! read more

I'm typically one to use Yelp to find places but rarely have an experience that warrants me leaving a review. This is one of those rare times I must leave one.....this place is PHENOMENAL. I had the pulled pork a La cart and the brisket a La cart (on the carnivore lifestyle) and both were some of the best I've ever had and I've had bbq from all over America. The flavor in the pulled pork was excellent with their basic salt and pepper seasoning they apply. The brisket was so moist and flavorful it blew my mind. The only sauce I tried was the sauce they used for their ribs because it apparently didn't have a ton of sugar and it was awesome. If you're within 45-60 minutes of this place and you love BBQ you gotta give it a go. There was a group of 4 in there that were also first timers from out of town and they stated this was top 3 they've ever been to. The folks behind the counter were very helpful and answered all of my carnivore related questions regarding sugar usage. read more

In short, this is going to be our BBQ spot!!! So this was a happenstance for us. We passed through here to go to a friend's house. All of the sudden my BF had a craving for BBQ so I researched via Yelp and we decided on this spot. It did not disappoint. The staff and owners are very sweet and welcoming...almost like you're home. This restaurant has best of both worlds serving Cuban and BBQ. As you can tell by the photo, we got the sampler and I kid you not....no left overs except for bones. I do have one problem...I don't know which I liked best ...everything was sooo good! Try it... you won't be disappointed!!! read more
