    Nice bbq find in Dover, DE. This was a random pick on the run. The gentleman taking our order was friendly and explained the menu and allowed us to sample some menu items. That's great because it helped me make a decision. The ribs sampled were a little bit too salty for me. However, the chopped chicken I ordered was pretty good and I enjoyed the baked beans and collard greens. There's tables for outdoor seating and ample parking.

    4.5 is my rating. 1. Great bang for the buck! 2. Friendly customer service. 3. Delicious BBQ. The portions are hefty. I prefer the pulled pork and chopped chicken. I have to try some other sides. However, I can vouch for their mac and cheese lol. I think this place is a gem and worth trying.

    Decided to stop by during our drive home up Coastal Highway 1 -- and it was well worth the pit stop. From hot dogs and nachos to traditional BBQ sandwiches and platters, everything was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back our next time through!!

    BBQ Ribs, Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans.

    Amazing BBQ!! Got the Ribs, chopped chicken sandwich, baked beans and Mac 'N' Cheese. Ribs had a whole bunch of meat and were very moist. Didn't feel like I was eating on a damn toothpick rib which is always awesome. Portions were also great and was very full after. They were unfortunately out of all the brisket and pretty much all the pulled pork which tells you how popular this place is. He did have about a 1/4 portion of pulled pork left which I mentioned I did really want try since I was just passing through. He was kind enough to not only let me have the small portion but also not charge me for it. Additionally the hospitality was amazing, such a nice and friendly staff. Next time I am passing through I'll be sure to stop in. Thanks again!!

    Brisket sandwich with creamy Mac n cheese and collard greens that were not too watery.

    Excellent BBQ! Walk up window. Staff (believe we were served by Janay) was very friendly and courteous plus knowledgeable about the menu. Had multiple items. Loved the beef brisket and how lean it was (and I'm picky!). Everything was packaged nicely. Nothing leaked. Utensils and napkins provided. Will definitely be back!!! Don't pass this place up. You can tell this place has some hardworking people that take pride in what they do. It is worth the stop even if you're driving through. It was easy to get to with plenty of parking (RV PEOPLE - plenty of room to park and pull out!). They also take credit cards and weren't hassling you for a tip at the end of the transaction, which is a turn off for me. I gladly gave them a cash tip. Try this place - you won't regret it!!

    An absolute gem! Some of the best Q I've ever had in my life! The brisket rivaled what I have had in Texas, and the pork was as good as any in Carolina. I really cannot express how delicious and flavorful and juicy and just perfect everything was. If you are driving to / from anywhere in the northeast to / from the Delaware beaches or Ocean City MD, you MUST go here!

    Incredible! Hidden gem in Smyrna -- amazing food! Incredible service. Nice spot just off of Route 13. They have an outside area to sit with umbrellas. We got the brisket, pulled pork, collards, Mac & cheese and baked beans. NO NOTES! Everything is jumpin! We will definitely be going back.

    Authentic and delicious bbq. Best pasta salad I've ever had! When we saw pit bbq we knew we had to stop here for late lunch and were not disappointed! First of all, the guys here work hard and are the nicest and most welcoming. And then the food is quality, great portions and lip-smacking good. Sad but not surprised they were sold out of brisket so we got some awesome pulled pork. Juicy, not too smoky. I loved the coleslaw and sauce on the slider sandwich. The mac n cheese had a nice sharp cheese flavor and was not dry. The pasta salad!! Perfectly cooked tri color pasta that just soaks up the vinegary Italian dressing and pairs perfectly with the cherry tomatoes and cucumbers. Really hit the spot on a hot day. We will definitely be back to visit!

    The food arrived warm smoked ribs, chicken, and those delicious baked beans you name it!  All food was on point.

    The smoked meats are delicious and the owner, Charles is a warm and a great approachable person. Charles also caters our barbecues when we have our barbecue for the local veterans and also vets coming in from New Jersey.

The lamb chops looked more like DUMDUM lollipops.........they were so small. My collard greens were sooooooo salty that I know I have hypertension now. The Mac and Cheese was burnt, noodles were over-cooked and the cheese wasn't close to being melted. And toooooo top everything off the establishment has a sign that says NO REFUNDS. NO WONDERI would have RETURNED this NASTY SHIT and asked for my money back. If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would Please Please please do not eat from here. I will be seeing my Cardiologist when I get back home.

    My friend wanted to go here. I agreed. She asked me if I wanted anything. I waited to see if…read moreanything had changed. She then got the BBQ chicken and fries for her and her son. Of course her 10yr old loved it. However, she had the same complaints. The food is so bland. I looked at my review from last year and there was no change. Super chill inside. A lot of people play with food. It's just not great even according to a person that was trying it for the 1st time. I didn't influence her with my opinion. So...in conclusion, step it up Tropical. Please

    Went for the first time last week for lunch before I went to the commissary at Dover AFB and can…read moreonly talk about what I ordered, which was the Oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. WOW...it was excellent! The meat on the oxtail pieces was tender, moist, and bursting with flavor. The sauce was incredibly delicious...so good over the rice and peas. The cabbage was also nicely seasoned. The only thing that would've made me happier was if the oxtail pieces were a little bigger or there were a few more pieces to go with the generous serving of rice and peas. If I had to mention a (minor) negative: my bottle of Ginger Beer had lost its carbonation. Had a nice flavor but did not have fizz. In any case, I am most definitely coming back. I will like to try their fish dishes and some of their vegetarian offerings. Glad I gave this place a try.
