I stopped here for BBQ with my sister’s on our way to an event at the Duke Energy Center in St. Pete. The food was excellent and the price was right! I ordered the rib plate with candied yams and baked beans. The ribs were fall off the bone. The candied yams and baked beans were also delicious. This establishment is take out only but I enjoyed my meal in my car in the parking lot. The employees were professional and friendly. I will definitely be coming again when I’m in the St. Pete area again.

Seriously best BBQ in St. Pete. Got the chopped chicken and the ribs and I have not stopped thinking about both since. Bbq sauce is banging and the collard greens, baked beans, and Mac n cheese were awesome. Can’t wait to go back

This place is darn delicious! I polished off my whole plate of rib dinner with mac and green beans. So much flavor and the meat was falling off the bone! Sides were so tasty. Big portions with a good price and nice folks at the counter and kitchen. Definitely coming back! Thanks Big Cs. Wish I would have taken a photo but I dug in too fast.

What an awesome place run by awesome people. They were out of an item that i ordered on Uber eats and in addition to refunding the item and replacing it with another item, they also gave me a free banana pudding. Not the mention the meal was out of this world. As someone that’s lived in Texas and had Memphis, KC and NC BBQ, this place absolutely holds up to the test. You won’t find better BBQ in Florida. I’ll be ordering from here plenty more

Oh my God first time going there yesterday man that food was so good I had barbecue chicken and you get so much and I had baked beans and macaroni cheese and a slice of red velvet cake oh my God I'm on my way there tonight to eat again and all of that one but 12 now where the hell you going to get all of that from and you get a large portion so you know I'm about to eat them again. Driving all the way from Tampa to get it even though it's across the bridge but I don't mind driving over here to get that barbecue that's how good it was last night and boom about the heat it again tonight
