    So I'm notoriously difficult and picky when it comes to bbq. Cool place, good atmosphere. We caught them at the end of the day before they close. I'll have to go back for another review before I score them more in depth.... But over all worth the stop

    Chicken nachos
    Natalia B.

    8/10 nachos. I was very pleasantly surprised by these. They kept the dish basic because the meat speaks for itself. The meat was the backbone of the nachos. I got the chicken. It was very well done and packed with flavor. And not dry like most shredded chicken. I also liked how they have two types of cheese. One was the queso type and the other was a shredded blend. The chips were fine. Solid amount of food for the price. Would definitely get again.

    Amazing Ribs, Mac, and Collards
    Kristy A.

    When I tell you I've waited a long time to enjoy some GREAT BBQ in Tampa again I am not playing around. I am proud to say that I was a member of Alex's BBQ back in the day. I worked there in high school and I'm very skeptical about great BBQ in Tampa. If you know about Alex's you know what BBQ royalties are all about. So let me say that Wicked Oak BBQ is where it's at in Tampa FL!!! AMAZING flavor and meats! Creative sauces and excellent sides! Especially the collards!!! BAM!!!! Now that's how BBQ should be prepared!!! I can't wait to order again!!! See photos! That Wicked Juice tastes like Tampas own version of Purple Jungle Juice

    BBQ sauces: top- Apple & mango and bottom guava & regular
    Xavier I.

    Sunday 9/15/2024 My family was out getting food while I was in the crib and asked me if wanted anything from here. I looked at the menu and decided to give it a shot. I got a combo platter of ribs (+$2) & wangs (+$2) with Mac n cheese & baked beans. I also got several different bbq sauces: regular, mango, apple, & guava. - The ribs were my favorite item. They were decent and seasoned well to create a good flavor. - The wangs were alright but some of them were a little burnt. Also the wings would've been better if they were tossed in the bbq sauce but instead they came out plain with the sauce automatically going on the side. - The Mac n cheese was alright but the noodles could've been cooked a bit more. - The baked beans were very mediocre. They tasted like canned beans from a store. - The sauces were all very unique and interesting. My rankings would go regular, mango, apple, and then guava. Overall, my bbq experience here was alright but nothing really memorable or impressive to me. Although I wasn't crazy about it, the rest of my family ended up enjoying it a good amount.

    I ordered through UberEats as we wanted to try it but are a bit further and never really down in that area and I was excited to see they would deliver to us one day we were really craving barbecue. There was a lot of hype I've seen and stellar reviews so my expectations were pretty high and honestly, they were not met. All of the meats were cooked well and stood decently on their own. Specifically the pulled pork, smoked sausage and wings were pretty good. The brisket was not really as expected - my husband wasn't a fan, but I normally don't like brisket and liked this one. Some of the meats had a heavier smoky flavor, which isn't my favorite but overall the meats were pretty okay. The sauces for me were a real let down. We tried the sweet and apple bbq. The sweet had a smokiness and heartiness to it - it was fine but not anything special. The apple bbq was very thin and getting close to more of a vinaigrette which was interesting, but I really didn't find it that appealing. It worked fairly well with the pulled chicken though. As far as the sides, the hog feed was my favorite thing we ordered. It's a cornbread casserole that has a tiny kick to it - very tasty! The baked beans I had were just slightly better than canned beans from the store, so that wasn't ideal. The collards were pretty good. The Mac and cheese lacked flavor - not a fan, neither was my daughter who hardly ever turns down Mac and cheese but did today. The tots were disappointing because the inside wasn't fully cooked - still had the undercooked potato chew inside. We also tried the boiled peanuts, which my daughter devoured. The wicked purple drink - the violet lemonade - I had such high hopes for but no one in our family would get past a sip. The whipped banana pudding was good had good flavor and definitely a unique twist having the whipped texture but it worked well! Overall, it was decent but the hype around it had me expecting far better. Just due to not liking so many items including their sauces, the location being out of the way, the price being high (maybe more due to the delivery), and us having better barbecue nearby - we won't likely return.

    Tampa style
    Marley R.

    Flavortown BBQ! If you're craving some grilled meats this is the place in Tampa! We ordered a 1/2 lb of brisket and the Tampa style sandwich with brisket and mac. The meat was super tender along with their yummy sweet sauce. The Texas toast was so buttery and delicious. We would for sure order again and try more meats - also good portions and prices.

    Half pulled chicken, half pulled pork Baked beans Mac and cheese  $19 with no drink, not bad
    Michael L.

    Only critique: they close really early. 7pm they are done (at least during the week) The rest is good! Portions are solid, I usually get to-go but the seating is unique and available. They have four bbqs available also to choose from.

    2 meat platter with two sides. Mac and cheese was well seasoned and the potatoes salad creamy. I got the pulled chicken and pulled brisket.

    OMG DELICIOUS!!!! You can smell the food as you walk in and it was amazing! Service was top-tier every one was so pleasant especially the cooks! The sweet tea so perfect. This was my boyfriend and I's first time coming and it did not disappoint.

    Doesn't look like much on the outside but if you let your nose lead the way, you wont be disappointed. This was my first time so I really leaned on reviews and employees favorites for help on this one and I already can't wait to come back for round two. I love the open kitchen concept. Always been a fan and this is no different. You order at the counter and take a seat in their dining room or to go. We tried their wings in the wicked mango sauce per suggestion and holy spot on. They're smoked first and then fried "for a little extra somethin' somethin'". We added some baked beans and coleslaw which were great but after looking at the table's plate of tots next to us we knew where we could've done better. We did order some ribs to go to make up for it. We also tried their wicked juice which is a violet infused lemonade and refreshing as ever. I can see why they have such a stacked trophy room. They know a thing or five about good bbq. Will absolutely come back

    Ribs brisket ( looked like shredded pork) mac and cheese and greens
    Vince J.

    Service great - check Clean place - very well kept Walk up to building smells Smokey and delish - check Collard greens - best thing here Mac and cheese - average, runny and mushy mac Brisket - it was shredded not sliced, tasted eh Ribs - no good at all. Looked good but tasted bad. No taste at all. Summary - if you're looking for Stellar collar greens this is your place. The rest of it was not good at all. Not worth the bbq price tag. Bummed because the people are nice, I really wanted it to be good.

    The meat was pretty good, but it lacks salsa, salad or something. Meat and pasta don't go well together

In part because Konan's isn't too far from the Tampa airport (around a 10 minute drive), I've often made it my first stop when coming to town. Konan's is a black-owned BBQ restaurant located in a residential neighborhood that's not too far from Raymond James Stadium where the Tampa Bay Buccaneers play. Speaking of football, the family that owns and runs the restaurant has produced a few D-I basketball and football players, including a current player who's projected to be a high-round NFL draft pick in the next draft. The last time I was here was a Friday, a little before noon. It hadn't gotten too busy yet so wasn't much of a wait in line. Ordered my favorite meal there, which is the 2-meat (ribs and pulled pork) combo ($17). The combo comes with two sides - I usually get the flavored rice (Rice 'a la Trigg) and the mac and cheese. The meal also includes a slice of bread. Lemonade is $3 extra, bottled water $2. As always, the ribs and pulled pork were excellent. I especially love the yellow sauce (I think a mustard sauce) they use to flavor their meats and rice side dish, which is a unique staple of this restaurant. The mac and cheese is always very tasty as well. Their food is also always well-portioned - I always leave very full! Altogether my meal came out to around $21, which was a very fair price for two meats, two sides, and a lemonade. Konan's does give a small discount if you pay with cash rather than credit. It seems most customers come here for take-out, though there's plenty of seating both inside and outside the restaurant. The staff is always very friendly, though I'm not too big on the fact that they're big Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans (LOL). If you've never been would definitely check it out! Extremely solid southern-style BBQ restaurant - this might be my favorite restaurant in Tampa!

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.

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.

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.

Seasoned food and salty food- two different things. This batch of sides were too salty and not appetizing. The ribs were bland so it was hard to accept that the same person was seasoning the food. This family meal cost around $60 and we didn't want to leave the house again to get it corrected. I've had food here several times and it was great. It just didn't hit the mark this time.
