This Establishment under Trust Me BBQ is CLOSED. They are no longer operating under this location. This location has NEW OWNERS...The New Owners will be re-opening soon in March 2023.

First time I went there, it was good. The ribs were tender and well seasoned. The potatoes were good too: soft and chewy. The yellow rice though, tasted bland and was sometimes hard. The woman behind the counter was nice. Definitely go there again.Be warned though, it is costly.

Quite possibly the most delicious BBQ I've had since I moved to Tampa Bay 8 years ago. I've tried many spots and this hole in the wall spot just rises above the rest! Delicious pulled pork, amazing j*** chicken, excellent ribs, and tasty, savory collard greens! That was my plate. Their BBQ sauce is amazing. It tastes and feels homemade, but it's some of the best BBQ sauce I've ever tasted. The guys who took our order and served us were very courteous and patient, being our first time here. They answered every question and even gave us a couple of samples. This is officially my go-to spot for BBQ... so glad it's just minutes away from our home. Can't wait for the next visit!

Best bbq I've had in a long time. Here on vacation my wife and I got the ribs and chicken meals. Both were top notch and the portions were huge. This is one place if you were driving down the road and didn't know where to look, you'd drive right past it. All their smoking is done on site. We will have to try the pulled pork, brisket, and sausage next time!

Used to be my favorite BBQ restaurant. Food has gone down hill. Last few times the product was dry and not fresh. Three times I have left without ordering because the girl behind the counter was rude and condescending. I always over tip, but have never even received a smile or “Thank You”. You can put Trust’s sauce on cardboard and it would be good. Hate to see employees ruin everything he worked to build. Fix this Trust! I won’t be back. Too much competition. Don’t have pics because I walked out again today. Nasty person behind the counter.

From start to finish this place was a disaster. The portion size is not enough for a toddler, the food is burnt and very dry. I paid $61 for a slab of ribs, half order of j*** chicken and regular chicken. None of this food is edible. Never trust a place that name is “Trust me”.

Wow! We went to Trust Me after a friend gave rave reviews. We wanted to see if what they said was true. IT WAS!! Absolutely amazing. We had j*** chicken, pulled pork and a variety of sides. Everything was amazing. The beans had a bit of cinnamon that really added to the flavor. The J*** chicken topped with the sweet bbq sauce changed the flavor for the better, which I didn't think was possible. The staff was friendly. My only complaint is they sold out of the peach cobbler so we couldnt try it. I highly recommend visiting this little hole in the wall spot. You won't be disappointed.

I order food from there yesterday. The potatoe salad was good, the greens was okay. The only complaint I have is the ribs meat was still extremely red to where I was picking through it. I think they need to cook them a little longer not everyone likes pink meat.

Sadly I have to change my review about this place. We used to like everything here, sides on point,, good portions. Last time, the ribs were almost inedible and the baked beans were extremely sweet. Today we had the driest chicken I have ever had in my life. Little bitty pieces, the coleslaw and potato salad were both super sweet. Hope they get back to their good times.

Unique BBQ place. Really good. The mac & cheese and the potatoes were quite tasty, too.They could use better AC for the small inside space. Or there's outside dining that is covered but no fans even.Worth a visit.

I'd say 3.5 star. The first time I tried in 2018 it was amazing. As time went by their macaroni recipe changed which was always part of my meal. I'd eat their again but definitely will (only) purchase the meat when it's fresh off the grill because the past visits I've gotten meat that was not hot and fresh which upsets me a lot.

WW!!! 5 star awesome BBQ. I was in town for work and found this gem on Yelp. You won't be disappointed. Ribs were fantastic, beans And the potato salad was off the chain.
