I discovered this restaurant on Food Network, featuring the owner, and I was thrilled to find out it was only five minutes from my workplace. I ordered a sandwich and a deviled pig. The deviled pig was quite good, but unfortunately, the sandwich was nearly inedible. The meat was cold and dry. Given that it's such a short drive, there's no excuse for it to have been served that way. I'm grateful I bought extra sauce because it was the only way I could manage to eat it. It feels pointless to have the capability to create great BBQ if it's not executed well. I’m relieved I tried it out before bringing friends; I would have been embarrassed. The prices are reasonable, but I felt shortchanged for the quality of food I received. I left feeling very dissatisfied. I've had better pulled pork from the grocery store. I believe they have the potential to make good food, but they just don't seem to care enough. I probably won’t return again. I'm truly disappointed.

I've visited this restaurant several times and it never disappoints.

The smoked and fried wings are superb, and the brisket is incredibly tender and flavorful. The burnt ends rank among the best I've ever tasted, and the ribs are fantastic too. It’s a true meat lover's paradise! I enjoyed it so much that I'd definitely consider them for catering. This place has become a must-visit for me whenever I'm in Tampa.
