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.

There's a good amount of seating and the place has a real open feel to it. They have a few beers on tap and a few more in bottles.

Ok an odd one. I…read moredon't know how I really feel about you guys. From the initial thought I thought it would be a great relationship but just something feels wrong. I didn't have a bad time but I feel like the food has a lot left to be desired. Like things are left on the table. I don't have a pinpoint critique here which is a little vague and lame but I don't have a desire to come back or venture out and try new things. I have been twice and the experience got better after each visit but still. I need something to pull me in. An X factor

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.

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.

The baked beans were excellent. The mac & cheese was a bit dry and needed more seasoning. The collard greens tasted like Glory, canned greens and were pretty salty.

I chose the rib and sausage meal with sweet Carolina sauce, and potato salad and greens for my sides. Everything taste wise was phenomenal. The ribs were tender the sausage smoky and the greens seasoned to perfection. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who likes a little sugar in their potato salad, but I could tell they put a little in theirs which made it even better. Only con I have is that the driver forgot my drink which has nothing to do with the business. Overall I'd give them a 10/10. I will most definitely order from here again.

I am very picky about my BBQ and coleslaw and Mac and cheese. The slaw had the perfect balance between sweet and tangy.

A definite place to put on your visit list. They are only open Tuesday through Saturday, so get it when you can. Oh, also, the staff was so friendly, even saying, "good by love", when I left.
