The place
Award-winning Texas-style BBQ on North Florida Avenue with brisket sliced to order, proper bark, and sides made in-house. The best barbecue in Tampa by most local accounts — the kind of operation where the regulars know to arrive early on weekends because the most popular cuts sell out before the afternoon ends. No shortcuts on the smoke.
