    Pretty good for a roadside BBQ wagon. First time here and I ordered the boneless, smoked ribs, potato salad and greens. I don't typically use sauces on my BBQ but will try them next time just to see how they are. The place was jammin' at lunch and I didn't want to hold up the line futzing with all the sauces. The potato salad was really good and a bit on the sweet side but not too much. The greens are spot on with what they should be and the pork was generous, smokey, and delicious. Helpings are generous and I took most of mine home to enjoy over the next two days. The watermelon lemonade was decent but will try the other fruit flavored lemonade next time or the sweet tea. Prices are fair and the Canadian jerky is awesome. Definitely going back to Rick's and will plan lunch here again as it's a bit of a hike from the Orlando area.

    Killer chopped pork, collard greens n fries with sweet tea, thank you very much. (They have the full menu but I do loveThe smoker smell as you drive past will pull you in. Worth the stop; best BBQ in Lithia and Brandon area-by far! Picnic tables with covered seating, clean and Super nice folk. It's a family favorite.

    Why 3 stars? Because this was your average BBQ fare. --- --- --- I had high hopes for Smokin Joes to finally become the BBQ in Tampa Bay that finally gave me a clear-cut #1 favorite. It did not happen. It's not that it wasn't enjoyable, it was just typical Central Florida BBQ - boring. I'm begging the BBQ restaurant owners of our area to spend some time in Texas, Missouri, Tennessee, and North Carolina to bring those flavors back home. I finally made out to Lithia, which felt like it took longer than driving to Orlando, but I can't fault them for being located far away from my house. What I can fault them on was what I indulged. My sausage was alright, and my ribs were just not what they should be. Some were burnt and dry like beef jerky. The ones that weren't, were just not that flavorful. I'm determined to write a 5-star rating of a Tampa Bay BBQ spot... it WILL happen... one day.

    Fantastic BBQ. Meat is tender loaded with flavor, portions are generous, and pricing is very reasonable. Staff is friendly. Outdoor, shaded area for dining there or takeout is available. They even cater! A must try for BBQ enthusiast.

    Great BBQ, one of my favorites in the area. I've been back time and again for the "star special" which is a pile of fries and pulled pork with cheese and peppers on top --- combine it with some sweet tea and a lazy lunch outside at a picnic table and you've got a little slice of BBQ heaven. A good variety of sauces to try (mustard, sweet, regular, hot, raspberry spicy) and a fun place to relax if you like side of the road BBQ. There is a large covering over 8 or so large picnic tables, generally back yard bbq style - very enjoyable if you are into that sort of thing.

    I was skeptical heading here after reading some of the reviews. However, those fears went away after getting their rib dinner. At first it didn't look like they gave me enough, until I took a bite. The ribs were meaty, smokey, juicy, and delicious. I only used a little of their mustard sauce and vinegar sauce, but they can stand on their own. I was stuffed just with the ribs, but still had baked beans and coleslaw as sides. I thought they could have been a little better being from the South, but the pork ribs made up for it. Regardless, they give you plenty. Overall, I thought the prices were fair, the ribs were great, and I was full when I finished.

    i saw this place when i was on my way to little manatee river. i noticed there were a bunch of cars and trucks parked by it so i immediately had a good feeling about their bbq. we decided to hit this spot for breakfast on the day we drove back home. little bit of a detour but only 10 minutes away from alafia SP. very friendly service. i saw their pulled BBQ sandwich and i just went for it. i also got collard greens and mac & cheese as sides. the collard greens were probably the most amazing greens ive had. SO good. and my sandwich was awesome. tender bbq pork. nice and juicy. i got to try their sauces. the spicy was pretty good as well as the sweet sauce. and if you like dogs, theres a beautiful basset hound hanging around. i love this place and hope to be back someday.

    We moved here a couple of years ago from Indiana where the bbq was outstanding. We have tried some other places, but they all fell short (some were almost unedible) Smokey Joes however could take on our favorite place in IN. We both got the brisket sandwich and its the best brisket we have had since our old Texan neighbor made it for us. The sauces are great and we love that we got a choice. My husband liked the vinegar one in particular. Its quite a drive for us to get out to Smokey Joes, but I feel we will be returning again soon. I can't wait to try their pork!

    my husband and i stopped here on our way back from fort myers. the thing that did it for me was the smoker i saw outside that gave me the feeling it would be the real deal. it is very VERY casual, paper plates, towels, picnic tables, etc. the person at the counter which i assume was the owner, was super friendly and courteous, definitely made us feel at home. wasn't the cleanest of places, although that sort of thing doesn't bother me too much. on to the most important part, the food! all the smoked meats were bare which my husband loved. he likes to taste the actual flavor of the meat, he hates when thats drowned out by sauce, which this was not, since the sauce was on the side. we had the ribs, smoked mullet (fish), and pulled pork. i definitely think the pulled pork was the best. the sweet sauce they have is mustard based and is delicious, but they have sauces for all palates. i think we came right after a rush because they were out of most of their sides. so we only got baked beans, green beans, and steamed peeled potatoes. the sides weren't phenomenal, i'm pretty sure the beans were canned and the rolls it came with were store bought but if your going their for the meat, then it's definitely well worth it, and the price is fair.

    Room temp to cold meat. Tough brisket. Very sweet potato salad. The only saving grace was the sausage links. Tasty links, moist, with just a touch spice. Serving size is generous but quality is on the low end of good. Not worth the 30 mile drive. Thank goodness it is next to a great meat market

    Walked over to Smokin' Joes after one of my many trips to Rick's Custom Meats to give this place a try. This place has all of the great signs of a good BBQ shack, not to mention it's right next to an awesome butcher shop, so I guess my expectations were quite high for some good 'Q. Not sure if they were having an off day or what, but my pork sandwich was not good at all, with a strange flavor that was not appetizing. I struggled to finish it and only got through about half before tossing it away....something I rarely ever do, much less ever at a BBQ joint. I really don't like to give a poor rating to any restaurant until I've tried it twice, figuring anyone can have a bad day. Particularly since I didn't have time that day to give feedback to the person working there to see if they could make it right. So I'll definitely give it another try on my next visit to Rick's, and update my review then. I'll score it 3 stars only to say I found it inconsistent compared to the many other excellent reviews Smokin Joe's has on several review sites: Atmosphere: a solid 4 on the cool "BBQ shack scale" Service: 4 Food: 2 Value: n/a
