After going multiple times, I have yet to have a bad experience with the food or the people. As a matter of fact, the Brisket Philly is definitely one of the best sandwiches that I have EVER had! They are genuinely happy that you are there and serve you with a smile. It's becoming more and more popular on my "regular stop" list.

Why tf haven't you been here? Put your phone down right this second, stop reading this review IMMEDIATELY and get your hungry face here and stuff it with smoked brisket and THANK ME LATER. That is all. Enjoy!

I had to the order the Cuban after I saw it won the 2021 Tampa Cuban contest. It was simply amazing. Friendly staff and friendly dog go pet while they gather your food. Try this place if you want to be impressed.

When we first went months ago food was good and environment too. Second time about 3 months ago, fries were soft and draining in oil. About a month ago. My ribeye sandwich.was without bread only a small piece of meat in the takeout container! I may go back again but not sure at this point.

ALL NEW MENU!!! New Chef's from a legit BBQ Place are now cooking for owner. The half rack of ribs was so juicy and bone sliding out tender. The new French/Chips were a delightful surprise. The mac & cheese was also new and improved and so were the corn muffins. The Mrs.had the new Cuban and while she like it see said the last recipe was a little bit better. While I was there another person order the brisket with the Elvis dessert and she said that it was really big and yummy. This place doesn't look like much but it is worth the stop. Sorry no pictures as we were way too hungry and it was too good.

The brisket and pulled pork was amazing. The slaw was the best I have ever had. My kids had the BLT, they loved it. Highly recommended this place any day of the week, or even everyday if you can. Best BBQ around..

Does not answer phones to take orders. Tried calling from 6:15 to 6:45 on a Tuesday for a family order. At the very least, answer and say you’re busy. Don’t just neglect your clients.

Mother and I went there to try it out. We shared a brisket platter with fries and fried mushrooms. The fries were spot on amazing. The brisket was really good, a smidge dry on like on or two pieces but very good flavor. We also enjoyed the fried mushroom, but are not used to that much batter on them. Our food came out in a reasonable amount of time, was nice and hot, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I recommend giving this a try, I can compare this to the quality of my grandmothers brisket ( and she's from Texas ) so, major shout out to you guys.
