We live in NY and we always make time to come to the brisket shoppe! The food, the service, the ambiance is top notch!

The Brisket Shoppe is known to have the best brisket in town. I arrived about 30 minutes before they opened and there were already people waiting in line. I knew the food be good. I love that they have tents and complimentary water outside while you wait. Once they opened, there were 2 kiosks available for you to place your order and a person to take orders for people with cash. Glad I had cash. I ordered the ribs, with cilantro lime coleslaw and baked beans. My order was ready shortly. Once I found a seat. They have ample seating outside and inside. The food was delicious I wish I had enough room in my tummy to eat it all. It was definitely worth the wait and the hype. My ribs were tender. I tried the mango habanero sauce on the table and the cilantro lime coleslaw was refreshing and perfect to calm the heat of the sauce. read more

They have the meats! The barbecue is always top tier! The sides are not the standout as they get a little crazy with the vinegar. Each time I have been the owner and Walker have been super hospitable. Get there early because like any good barbecue place once it's gone that's it As far as the ambiance goes, it gives Winchester mansion - a lot of additions that don't quite make sense. But get in where you fit in and get some great bbq read more

The Brisket Shoppe - Barbeque Near Me - Tampa, Florida

While on the hunt for a gala dress, I found this place on yelp. It's absolutely FIRE!!! The brisket is better than any Texas or North Carolina brisket. The sides are ELITE. Coleslaw is cilantro and lime and my favorite! They have tallow french fries which are flavor filled and they make their own ketchup. If all they sold was their banana pudding, that would keep me coming back! No banana pudding can compare! Everything is made in house! The jalapeno sausage is juicy and filled with flavor! You have got to go and try to this place! We gotta stop going to chain restaurants that buy processed foods and compromised foods in bulk to save money and go to mom n pop shops that show up and show out for their customers and they give us those delicious home cooked meals that make us feel good and we can support small businesses! Can't wait to go back! Absolutely 10/10 recommend!! read more

Made it a point to stop at The Brisket Shoppe while in Tampa and it did not disappoint. This place had some of the best BBQ Food we've had in all of our travels. The staff was super helpful and friendly. The meals came out fast, hot, and fresh. And the flavor was incredible on every single thing ordered (and we ordered alot to try multiple things and have leftovers). They had a great seating area outside as well as some indoor seating as well. There were great displays of meats and different items dry aging for you to see. There was also a huge wine room. read more

This place is nice. Parking is a little tricky but usually not too difficult to get a spot. You can order in person or on a kiosk which is nice. The food comes out fresh and pretty quickly. The ribs are good the pulled pork is also great. Sides are all excellent. Pork buns are heavenly! We love the different options for seating. The sweet tea and lemonade are always yummy. The whole restaurant is always clean and tidy. The employees are so kind and helpful- which recommendations, helping you figure out how to order, get condiments, etc. Looking forward to trying the oxtail, soon! read more

I've always wanted to try The Brisket Shoppe and I finally had the opportunity and it was worth the drive! Interesting location with many different rooms to enjoy your meal including outside covered patios. You wait in line for your order. I understand with the notoriety of the quality of the offerings the lines can get pretty long but I was there at the end of lunchtime so the line was short and moved fast. The staff was friendly and very helpful! I had the brisket sandwich and it was excellent! The rub was flavorful on the juicy, tender and rich and flavorful wagyu beef used in this massive sandwich! It was accompanied by pickles and pickled onions that really complemented the sandwich as did the Brisket Shoppe's traditional bbq sauce. There were spicier options available as well. I paired the cowboy beans with it which helped balance my taste buds. Looking forward to coming back again! read more

The Brisket Shoppe serves flavorful, tender brisket with great sides. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming. A little pricey, but worth it for the quality. read more

Woooozaa!!! Danny (the owner) has really put his heart and soul into the Brisket Shoppe because the food is soo good. His take on bbq is so unique because he offers other specials on the menu but you have to be on the look out for them. Pictured is a special...the oxtail. Look at the size!!!?! Juicy and tender but not offered often. If you get any of their classic plates, it's also delicious and flavorful. I like the unique touch of adding a "bon-bon" which is a bread roll stuffed with brisket to the plates. It's a cute spot to dine if you like being outdoors. I got introduced to the restaurant initially from a Yelp event and I have supported ever since as the food has been consistently good. read more

Absolutely incredible experience at The Brisket Shoppe in Tampa! From the moment we walked in, everything about this place impressed us, especially the food. I ordered the 2 meats, 2 sides plate and went with the Turkey and Wagyu Beef Brisket. Both were phenomenal. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender with that perfect char, and the turkey was juicy and full of flavor. For sides, I got the Mac n' Cheese and fries, and both were delicious. I could honestly eat the fries by themselves because of how salty and flavorful they were. They also surprised us with pickles, pickled onions, and a sweet meat roll, which were the perfect extras to round out the plate. And can we talk about the sauces? Incredible. You can tell everything is fresh and made with care, and you can really taste the difference. To top it off, we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was beyond wonderful. He even gave us a tour of the place, which made the experience feel that much more personal and special. It's clear how much passion goes into everything they do here. I also ordered a mimosa, and let's just say it was strong and fabulous. No watered-down drinks here. I am already counting down the days until I can come back. If you are in Tampa and love great BBQ, you have to try The Brisket Shoppe. You won't be disappointed! read more

THEEEEE BEST BBQ SPOT!! We've waited wayyyy too long to check this place out! Get here early bc when they run out, it's out! Super cute place with plenty of spots to sit with a variety of options (high top, outside, bar top). The brisket was super tender and flavorful and the rib was cooked to perfection! The Cuban did not disappoint and the huge tostones was fried to the give the right crunch and topped with the right amount of salt. The brisket bon bon was almost like a dessert with the sweetness of the bread. Definitely coming back here again to check out their Saturday special! read more

I swore I wrote a review about this joint but I guess I didn't. I'm not easily impressed by anything but what I love the most is a well ran operation and I've been here now 4x and it's the same amazing service and each time I see something different that makes me love this place even more. One Saturday I pulled up and there was a line outside the door maybe 5 people and they have a cooler outside with free water and free.....BEER man I couldn't believe the kind gesture free water whole you wait in this Tampa heat is one thing, but a ice cold brew smh amazing. Per usual the ordering process is a simple touchscreen which is easy to navigate and it's large enough for the older folks with bad vision to see. I love it and my man in the front of the house always is very helpful. I forget his name each time I come because I just want to call him Watson lol but he's cool. I guess is should mention the food by now right Man this food here is mouthwatering. I'll be honest I'm late to the brisket train just started eating it maybe 3 years ago. This place has the best I've ever had. Hands down the ribs are A+ My mom came in town and I took her and she loved it! I'll be back read more

The Brisket Shoppe - Complimentary drinks - Barbeque Near Me - Tampa, Florida

A couple of Saturdays back, my mom had a serious brisket craving, so I pulled up a saved IG post for The Brisket Shoppe. I'm not usually a brisket fan, and neither of us had checked reviews--so we went in blind. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming. A friendly guy at the door turned out to be a regular (or maybe part of the family). Ordering was simple at the kiosk, and the setup is smart--you grab food at the window or a designated spot for drinks and desserts. Plenty of seating inside and out, plus a wine room if you're feeling fancy. The energy is fun too--someone even gave me a mini tour, and while I was dancing, a guy joked with me. Later I found out he was the owner. Super down-to-earth. Couldn't help but taste-test. Here's what makes the cut: * BBQ Sandwich (chopped brisket--tender + perfectly seasoned) * Wagyu Brisket Burger (juicy, cooked just right) * Mac & Cheese (creamy comfort food) * Bag of Skins (crispy, lightly seasoned, not too salty) * Mike's "Almost Famous" Banana Pudding (that crunchy layer takes it over the top) * Sweet Tea & Lemonade (southern sweet, just like they should be) Food on point. Vibes just right. The Brisket Shoppe is a must-visit. read more

Ribs we tender and fell off the bone cleanly. Brisket was flavorful and tender. Fries were crisp and well done. Baked beans were flavorful and hearty. This place was worth the wait in line to order. My suggestion would be to arrive early. read more

What a great place. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly staff just waiting to help. Ordering was easy and efficient. The only downside we saw during our entire trip to the Brisket Shoppe was that we arrived at the tail end of the day's service, so they were out of ribs and chicken. But that gives us an excuse to go back! We received our food quickly, hot, and accurately. We did eat outside, but both the inside and outside dining rooms were spotless and inviting. They also had a full bar and wine shop for those wanting a libation. Food tasted great! They had a variety of sauces on the table, but none were needed. It was a pleasant surprise being at a bbq restaurant where the meat can stand on its own. Do yourself a favor and check out this Tampa gem! We can't wait to get back. read more

Took me long enough to go here. You've got to make sure you try it when they have the steak frites. Steak is cooked perfectly, everything has the perfect amount of salt and fat. The beef tallow fries are succulent as can be. The ribs were ok, a bit dry and tough but the Mac n cheese is another fantastic side option, along the the brisket roll. The beans are a pass though. We've been a few more times sense and always default to the steak frites. The ambience is great and feels so local, you're nearly in someone's back yard. The owner will come around out of the pit and pass around little tasters like wings sometimes. Expect a wait on Saturday's and prime lunch hours. Also use a debit instead of a credit card to save a couple cents with the credit card fee. There could be improvements with the order lines which are just self order kiosks, but other than that nothing beats the bbq at brisket shoppe. read more

I visited the brisket shop on a Saturday around noon. There was a line out the door. It took a while to get through the line and order our food but once we did, we were all very happy! This place is amazing. They sell bottles of wine that you can take with you or open there there's no cork fee and they are really good wines that they don't mark up ridiculously from grocery store prices. The food is EPIC!!! Hence the looong line!! I really don't want to recommend this place because I feel like a found a hidden gem and I don't want others to know about it. Run, don't walk to The Brisket Shoppe for some amazing BBQ! read more

My brother & I love this place!! The best tasting wood fire smoked BBQ (not propane taste) in town. We got the burnt ends (we got last order & it was only 11:25am when they open at 11am, sold out after us) & mix of moist / lean brisket. My brother liked the moist brisket the best I would agree, however, I would get it mixed since I do like both. Their unlimited tea & lemonade is so good!!! For sides, we got Mac & Cheese & the cheesy scallops were a hit (Both were lukewarm). Can't wait to go back & get the sammies. The service was exceptional. I like the kiosk ordering because then I could see all of the items that are available and I could select myself. Since my brother, and I like to try a variety of things, we decided to order à la carte meats & sides instead of the plate meals. For just the two of us, we ordered two meats and two medium size and our total came to $65 after service fees. They do charge a service fee if you use a credit card. It was very hard to find parking when we got there at 11:25 AM when they open at 11 AM we were able to get one spot where someone was pulling out of the line was already out the door when we got there, however, the line didn't move fast. Since it was my first time ordering, we took a little longer to order this time because my brother wanted to look at all of the items to make sure we got everything that we wanted to try the places extremely clean there's always somebody cleaning and the beverage stations were very nice and organized and very clean. read more

You know it's going to be good when the line stretches down the street. AND this place is absolutely worth the wait. This is easily the best brisket I've ever had: incredibly juicy, unbelievably tender, and full of flavor even without sauce. Their spicy BBQ options (habanero and mango habanero) are excellent, but the meat truly shines on its own. The potatoes, beans, and coleslaw were all standout sides. The surprise hit of the plate was the brisket bon bon. The people here are also the sweetest. It genuinely felt like eating in a friend's backyard. I'd wait in line for this any day!! read more

Clean counter service with indoor outdoor seating. Excellent Brisket choice and probably the best in Tampa Bay for sure. Long line so get there early.

Could improve on price and quantity of food. Also drink choice and taste. Sorry Charlie Belcher, we don't agree on this one!

I have been eyeing this place for a while and I finally had the opportunity to make it in. When you first walk up there is a line out the door which is a great sign. You order from kiosks which makes things faster and they bring you your food. There is staff in the lobby to assist with questions and everyone is super friendly. Walking around and asking how the food is etc. I got the brisket plate with the coleslaw and Mac and cheese. Everything was delicious. I love the tangy flavor of coleslaw and the tenderness of the brisket. The Mac and cheese was creamy too. From the outside it looks small but inside there are several rooms for seating and even a private space. Definitely will be back. read more

The Brisket Shoppe - Barbeque Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Looking for a spot for lunch and found this one on Yelp. Decided to give it a try based on fellow Yelp Reviews. Boy, were we happy about this choice. LOVED IT! There is a parking lot to the left side that can fit about 30 cars. There are also parking stalls in the front and to the right side surrounding the restaurant itself and surrounding street parking available. There was a line of about 12 people under the tent in front of us. We waited for about 20 minutes before we got in which wasn't bad at all. During this time, they offer coolers of beer where you can have one while you wait or just look at the menu so you know what to order. An older gentleman came out to let us in when it was our turn to enter. When you walk in, you wait for just a little longer as there are 2 stations for ordering. It is pretty self explanatory and guides you. They also have instructions posted so that you know what to do. We were a little bummed that they didn't have any chicken as it was on the physical menu, but it was okay. We wanted to try the ribs and brisket. Once you pay at the station, they will text or email you your order number depending on how you prefer to be notified. When your food is ready, they call your number and you grab your trays and head to the left side and/or back of restaurant where they have ample seating inside or out. It is a seat yourself type of place and they also have a fire pit in one area where you can sit surrounding it. We ordered: A two meat and two side combo 2x (comes with a Brisket bon bon (yummy) and some pickled onions and pickles (yummy additionif you like pickled foods) 1) Brisket and Ribs with Everything Baked Potato Salad & Baked Beans 2) Brisket and Ribs with Lemon Cilatro Cole Slaw & Baked Beans 3) Order of their Chili OMG, EVERYTHING was sooooo delicious. The meats were so tender and juicy. The meat of the ribs fell right off the bone. All of the sides were tasty and just as described on the menu. The chili was also very good and came with some sour cream and frito chips on the side. We loved everything! The food was a lot and we probably could have shared a combo. We couldn't finish it and loved that they had take out containers and utensils on the side for us to bring the food home with us. When you are done, you leave your trays on your table and someone comes around to pick it up. The owner Danny was walking around checking on everyone. He was super cool and friendly and was very welcoming. We spoke to him for a bit and loved that the he came out to interact with his customers. They also have alcohol (beers and wine to have with your meal) and a wine room which is awesome! They have such great BBQ here and we were so glad that we chose them after finding them on Yelp. If you have never been, you really need to check them out. We will most definitely return when we are back in town and hope that many also try them out or return. They will not disappoint! read more

Dare I say this is the best BBQ in Tampa? I do lol. While waiting in line they gave us free chicken wings and beer! Starting off this way really set the mood for the rest of the dining experience. The staff is super friendly and the place has a bunch of seating with indoor/ outdoor options. Onto the food... Everything I got here was amazing but the burnt ends were hands down the best item. It was only a special that Saturday but I would've come back again the next day if they had them. This is a must try in Tampa and I can see why they have such a large following.

Oh my lanta! We have been searching for some true barbecue since moving here five years ago, and I think we've finally found it! For meats, we tried the brisket, hotlinks, and pork ribs. All tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked with a beautiful smoke ring. Our sides were Mac and cheese and loaded potato salad. To add, they treat you with some delicious pickles, pickled onions, and the best surprise roll I've ever had (did the heavens make that?!) Food aside, the venue was unique and adorable. They have little shops inside for buying grills, wine, etc. The staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome and that was the cherry on top of a great experience. We will be back to try more very soon! read more

Another barbecue party to go this time for my 18-year-old's birthday. Got five Wagyu beef dinners, a pound of pork 12 sweet buns, and 1 pound of burnt ends Was his food enough to last the party? Nope it was gone in a matter of seconds! I think that's because it was absolutely delicious. The line was long, but that's OK. I ordered ahead rolled in rolled out. I really love the food here, this is the second time I used it to cater my parties. And I love it every time. My only request is it really doesn't seem like the weight equals what is said in the menu a half pound sure looks really light. Maybe it's a half pound before cooking? Don't know, but it's not gonna stop me from eating there read more

Serving up some top notch BBQ, The Brisket Shoppe is an amazing hole-in-the-wall find in Seminole Heights!! We tried their brisket (of course), as well as the Pitmaster's Empanada, many sides, and a banana pudding dessert. The empanada was a cheesy experience loaded with "smokehouse" pimento cheese and prime brisket. Stand out of the meal for me was the brisket bon bon... I was not expecting so much flavor and punch out of these little side rolls! Overall, an excellent and filling meal The Brisket Shoppe is only open Thurs-Sat til 4pm (or sell out). The lunch rush is real so make sure to get there before noon! read more

I made it my mission to get into The Brisket Shoppe after a Yelp event where I was able to sample some items. I'm so glad I did!! I met Danny, who took me on a tour of the facilities, restaurant, and retail with a true zeal for the unique offerings The Brisket Shoppe provides customers. Eat, shop, drink- they've got it all. During my tour, patrons were a plenty, dining, picking up food, choosing outdoor grilling supplies and fixtures, selecting wine. This is a true, old Tampa business that treats everyone like family. This establishment is top notch. The menu offers the best meats in town and sides to compliment and honestly, to die for. I went to the screens located just inside the main door & started tapping away. Directions are pretty clear & any special offerings are in the digital screens. I ordered chopped brisket,meatball sliders, greens, Mac and cheese, beans, banana pudding. Everything was SPECTACULAR. Flavorful, perfectly prepared. Recommend read more

Yet another hidden gem that was absolutely amazing. This shop looks so small on the outside, and it's only when you enter that you realize it's a huge complex. In addition to selling food, they also sell grills and all the accessories you could possible need when grilling. Ordering is done through a computer system that was a bit tricky, but luckily they had a worker standing right there to assist. After I ordered to-go food and was wandering around, two different people stopped to give me a tour; one of the inside and the extensive wine they carry, and one brought me back to the smokers and gave me a peek inside. Truly so impressive. The owner of the shop is the man who created Holy Hog BBQ, and he very clearly knows what he's doing. They serve brisket only on weekends, so make sure that's when you stop by. To stock up for the weekend, I ordered brisket with 2 sides, the collard greens and baked beans with brisket. Plus a side of tallow fries with gravy, and banana pudding for dessert. Confession: I can't tell you how good the gravy was with the fries, because I ended up eating all the fries as I was driving home. So good. The brisket ended up being some of the best I've had - perfectly cooked, not too fatty, and super tender. The beans were outstanding, and the collards had a nice flavor, not bitter. The star of the show was the banana pudding - this is a must have. Pudding, real bananas, cinnamon, and clearly some magic; I had gotten the last order of it, so I guess everybody knows this is awesome. Plenty of parking in a lot just north of the shop, plenty of seating at picnic tables outdoors only, though with lots of fans, plus I saw they had a private room inside if you had a small group. This place is a must visit! read more
