The secret is in the sauce |
5707 North 40th Street Tampa, FL 33610-3859 United States +1 813 626 9800 |
Any barbecue fan will tell you: it's all in the sauce. Find out for yourself with a pork or beef sandwich made with tender, succulent meat that's been cooking slowly over the pit at this restaurant. Order sliced or chopped, then layered on a fresh bun and topped with savory barbecue sauce. Or order up a plateful of juicy, meaty ribs slathered in sauce and dripping with rich, smoky flavor. Add a side dish of baked beans simmering in a thick sweet sauce or crisp coleslaw. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Sniff the air to find this one |
5703 West Waters Avenue Tampa, FL 33634 United States +1 813 243 8872 |
When you drive into the parking lot of this restaurant, you'll see clouds of smoke, with a decidedly fragrant aroma, billowing from a chimney. That's the smell of burning hickory logs, used here to create barbequed entrees that cook very slowly over the fragrant coals. A cozy spot, the restaurant offers barbequed beef, pork, sausage and chicken liberally spiced with homemade barbeque sauce. An array of typical barbeque-restaurant side dishes includes Corn on the Cob, Barbecue Sauce-flavored Baked Beans and Potato Salad, among others. A finale: Homemade Sweet Potato or Pecan Pie.
