    Brisket, Wagyu Dino Rib, Beef Cheek
    Matt L.

    The Brisket Shoppe was on today's agenda after I saw they were serving Wagyu Dino Beef Ribs and Beef 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.

    This spot have been saved on my places to visit for awhile. I finally got to stop in and it did not disappoint. You self order from a computer, very easy. And then receive a text when your order is ready when dining in. I got the 1 meat and 2 sides and it was fantastic. I opted for the pulled pork, loaded potato salad and macaroni and cheese. The pork was flavorful and tender. It was topped with chicharrones. The Mac and cheese was so flavorful, a bit runnier than I like, but delicious. The loaded potato salad was great and flavorful as well. I'd also recommend the lemonade to drink. It's fantastic! I look forward to coming back!

    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.

    Brisket Bon Bon 6 Pack

    After attending a Yelp Elite event at the Brisket Shoppe, I could not get the 'Bon Bons' out of my head. I raved and ranted about how amazing the food tasted. Ten mins later and there's 4 of my coworkers headed to your Shoppe! I asked them to kindly bring me back a six pack of the bonbons, and each of them brought home plenty of takeovers for their extended and larger families for dinner. It's such a great place to eat, hang out and feel like home. Danny's doing it right at The Brisket Shoppe!

    The food was amazing! I had the Brisket Sandwich. The portion was really generous. It didn't feel too greasy like other brisket places so that was a plus! Even though there was a line almost out the door (Thursday at 2PM) the service was very efficient. I've waited longer at sushi places. The ambiance was kinda like a speakeasy. With a wine room, bar, and outdoor seating. Overall, something for everyone!

    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

    This place hit it out of the park. We arrive 15 min before opening and were in a line of about 50 ish people. They did have a cute juice van out front so we were hydrated. Got inside and placed our order. Beef rib special and the holy trinity with all the good stuff and 3 sides. (They were already out of some). And brisket bon bons omg you need these. Mac and cheese and brisket dirty rice and fries. Mac out of this world smoked and so cheesy and the rice was so good. All the meat super tender and brisket so fatty in best way. We did a wine tasting inside and I bought and drank a bottle there and took 2 home. Honey bubbles is good!!! Don't sleep on the nana pudding for dessert holy hell the crunchy stuff on top is a fave. We will be back for sure. Owner is great and made his rounds and gave us a tour. Love it!!

    Great plates

    Outstanding brisket spot in Tampa Food is a mixed bag Sides are ok The star of the show is the Brisket Excellent, fatty, juicy Texas links were ok Mac and cheese is a pass Dirty fried rice was ok Spicy habanero bbq sauce was excellent My dining partner had a beautiful rack of ribs Service is fine, order and pay at the counter wait for a text when your food is ready Prices are on par for what you would expect in Tampa for high quality bbq Sat outside on the covered patio

    Brisket, Bonbons, Pulled Pork, Collard Greens, Brisket Dirty Rice, and Burnt Ends
    Josh A.

    Total experience was terrific. Went as soon as they opened on a Saturday and got the burnt ends. Service was terrific and very catering. Employees would walk around, getting us whatever we needed and checked in on us and chatted us up while we waited for our order. Loved the multiple rooms with different vibes. Overall the food was amazing, however, I would have to give Might Quinn's the edge on the brisket. But the Bonbons were outstanding.

    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!

    The Brisket Shoppe is by far one of the best BBQ places I ever been to! Despite waiting on a line outside, it moved very quickly and the service was super efficient. The owner came up to my pregnant wife and congratulated us. He was a true class act and gentleman. The hazy Lumi IPA beer on tap was so refreshing! The ribs, Mac and cheese and brisket were level 11. I can't wait to go back soon. Oh and the bread pudding....one of the best desserts I ever had. My only critique is....I wish they had some sweet corn bread as a side. But overall 5/5 stars.

    Renelle W.

    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.

    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.

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.

We ordered the Brontosaurus Rib, which is about a pound and a half of beef rib, for two people. Let me tell you... we definitely did NOT finish it in one sitting.

My only concern was that the rib came out wrapped in plastic while it was hot. Interestingly, when we had the leftovers wrapped to go, they used butcher paper, which I personally would have preferred from the beginning. Other than that, our overall experience was fantastic.

I noticed after I left this review that the reply for management never included any kind of compensation such as give me a call and we can make your next dining experience better, there were just a lot of excuses like we're working on getting a "better bun" that was 2 years after the restaurant opened in 2022. Other than the occasional weekend I never see a lot of parts in the parking lot. We became ill during the night. I had to cancel a doctor's appointment for today at 1:00 p.m. and we'll probably get charged. That food that we got it's not agreeing with either one of us. I wonder since you're parking lot is rarely more than two or three cars whether you serve take out food that has been sitting there too long. I would like a refund. I will look for your reply and then I will call you. Both of us have been so sick since about midnight. I'm going to call the health department unless you reply today.

My only complaint was they made my tray of food minus the brisket as they were getting a fresh one out just made. They left my tray sitting with my food losing temperature.
