    Brisket, picanha, and Ribs

    This food was on , they've definitely gained a new regular customer. Probably some of the best bbq we've had in Tampa. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious. The brisket and the picanha were also juicy and well seasoned. We also had the mofongo with carne frita (only available on weekends) which was . I want everyone to go to this amazing food truck. They deserve all the business and then some. So, if you're looking for great delicious food, go check them out. It's 1000% worth it.

    No that's not double vision. That's one serving of Picanha.

    We have been dying to try this place since we moved here. Today we tried and will most likely not…read morereturn. Pros: Staff was very friendly, although the counter style service is meh. The sausage was amazing. Unsweetened tea was good, as well as potato salad and beans. Cons: the ribs were very large, tender and had a great smoke flavor but that's it. They were pretty fatty, although still had a decent amount of meat. But there was no real flavor to the meat other than the "smoke". The brisket was tender also but flavorless. I tried both sauces. Both taste very ketchup based with the Hot just being super spicy. I mixed the sausage and brisket together to eat so it would help the brisket. The location is great and in walking distance in Ybor, from the trolly or locals. Little house like place with two tvs on. One playing sports while the other was playing some Jerry Springer style lame drama, and was plenty loud for us to hear. Overall, very disappointed. The Smoker was going and gave us high hopes but lack of flavor made for a very dull meal.

I'm telling you, you ain't had any BBQ till you have eaten here. We just spent some time in Nashville looking for good BBQ and we were a little disappointed. This place is AMAZING.... It's in a small house just off the street.... Keep looking, it's there! Trust me you won't be sorry!!! The sausage is unbelievable. Trust me. I can't say enough. Everyone in this place was friendly, accommodating, and really just awesome. Thank you guys for the unforgettable food!

    The Brisket Shoppe was on today's agenda after I saw they were serving Wagyu Dino Beef Ribs and…read moreBeef Cheeks as their specials. That was all the excuse I needed to make the drive. I've only had beef cheeks one other time, at LeRoy and Lewis in Austin, but I have to give Danny's the edge. They were unbelievably tender, literally melt in your mouth, with incredible flavor. The Wagyu Dino Rib was every bit as impressive. It was absolutely massive with a beautiful bark, the perfect amount of smoke, and so tender it practically fell apart. Of course I couldn't leave without some brisket, and it was just as outstanding as always. I had the chance to chat with Danny, and he and his team are some of the nicest people you'll meet. Their passion for great barbecue is obvious in everything they do. The Brisket Shoppe consistently serves some of the best BBQ I've had anywhere and, in my opinion, it's the best you'll find outside of Texas. Quality meat, cooked low and slow with skill, pride, and passion. It doesn't get much better than that. If you haven't been yet, do yourself a favor and stop by. Pro tip: Order online ahead of time. You'll skip the line, make sure you get exactly what you're after, and avoid the disappointment of them selling out. Trust me... they will sell out.

    So happy to patronize restaurants that value quality food and preparation; (no microwaves or…read morefreezers makes me already like you!) Beef brisket and pulled pork were both tender and delicious. I was particularly impressed that the pork was moist and had such great flavor from the mojo brine. I would get both of those meats again. Loaded potato salad was flavorful; the skins are left on the potatoes, which I didn't mind but overall it was a little mayo-heavy for me. The chocolate chip cookies were scrumptious but I'm looking forward to trying the much-talked-about banana pudding next time. Ordering at the kiosk was easy. Loved all the little rooms for seating. I will definitely return! The drawbacks: the BON BON/roll that comes with the meal...mine was very dark and overcooked and dry and because of that, not at all enjoyable. (Didn't look like the light, delicate ones in all the pictures). The collards were SOO salty and drenched in vinegar, I couldn't eat them. Also, the only dining area that felt properly cooled on this very hot day was the room in the very back.

    Finding the exact right food at the exact right time is so rare, right? When you randomly…read moreexperience a phenomenal meal right when your hanger is about to get the best of you...there's nothin' mo' betta. That was our first time at Wicked Oak. 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.

    I'm honestly torn on the rating for this place. We ordered through Uber Eats and they forgot one of…read morethe more expensive items in our bag. 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.
