34 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lutz

“First time here.. Food was awesome!!! James at the counter was great, friendly, patient and helpful to a couple that had never been here before and helped explain the menu. The team also checked on us multiple times to make sure our experience went well. I'm definitely a fan of this place and will be back!!!“

“Jason E at Longhorn Steakhouse (2647 Creek Grass Way, Lutz, FL) made our family dinner last night truly memorable.
One member of our party has a severe gluten allergy, and Jason was exceptional in handling it. He knew exactly which menu items were safe, offered helpful suggestions for appetizers and entrees, and ensured every detail was perfect—from keeping our drinks constantly refilled to having to-go boxes and a bag ready without us asking.
He served us with a genuine smile and outstanding attentiveness throughout the meal. Jason’s above-and-beyond customer service made the evening stress-free and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning and requesting his section!
Highly recommend this location—and especially Jason!“

“Great food and great service!“

“Awesome food and patriotic! 🇺🇸“

“Best BBQ in Tampa.. Enjoyable food!“

“Saw the "BBQ u-turn" sign as I was heading the opposite direction. Tummy grumbled so I flipped the U-ey and ordered the sausage dinner with sides. One pork, one beef with a mixture of spicy and savory sauces. Mac-n-cheese and baked beans (which were awesome!) as sides. Really nice people and great BBQ. Recommended!“

“Best BBQ in the Bay!!! You have to try the Sliced Brisket on Sundays!!“

“Wow! welcome to FL style barbecue. Mel puts his heart and soul into every succulent bite. You can taste that the ribs are properly prepared with the right amount of trimming done to preserve the flavor without being greasy. meat was tender smoky and pulled from the bone easily. Mac and cheese was rich and cheddary without being too runny and noodles were done perfectly. Collard greens were to die for with bits of smoked turkey and tender to the fork. The baked "Cowboy style" beans with ground beef, hints of cinnamon and maple were a signature treat and made me want more and more. 5 stars in my book!“

“Amazing food and amazing service too. Mariah good customer service.“

“Best barbecue spot in town! Excellent quality and great value, my personal favorites are the beef brisket and mild country sausage. Try to save room for dessert because the cobblers, especially with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, are delicious.“

“Stopped by this brisket shop and wow — I’m still thinking about it! I ordered the double meat plate with double brisket, and it did not disappoint. Every slice was packed with flavor — some lean cuts that were tender and smoky, and others with just the right amount of fat that melted in your mouth. The bark was perfectly seasoned, and the smoke ring? Chef’s kiss. 💨 The sides deserve their own shoutout — the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and topped with that golden crust, the kind that makes you go back for seconds. And let’s not forget the soft roll and the tangy pickled onions that added the perfect contrast to the rich brisket. I even dipped a piece of brisket into their barbecue sauce, and it took things to the next level. This spot is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. If you’re thinking about going — do it. Highly recommend the double brisket!“

“Ordered from him at Natures Classroom's event today and everything was delish!“

“These people make some of the best tasting bbq I have had!! Don’t miss out on some amazing food and wonderful friendly service. You just want to sit down and visit with them for an hour or two! I picked up the last beef rib they had and I savored every bite.“

“Thank you for a great evening and event space. James “JRock”, you were extremely friendly and professional. The event space was perfect. We will definitely return for all future events!! Thank you.“

“I can only speak for me. I have been going to Perry's as long as I can remember but I'm never disappointed. I've gone so much that they recognize me. Anytime I go to the food court I always choose them despite other options. Even when the lines are long I still choose them.

My go to is lo mein noodles, bourbon and orange chicken.“

“every time I visit this establishment the staff is always amazing. every last person from the person taking your order to the person delivering your order to the people working there that just walk by and say hello to you while you are eating your food. I have been visiting this establishment for over 10 years now and I was never let down by quality of the product or quality of the service. tends to review thank you for being part of the community...“

“I can’t even put into words what an awesome experience we had here! This restaurant has been in my neighborhood for awhile now and I never got around to giving it a try. Well last night my cousin planned a surprise party here for her boyfriend, and WOW, I can’t believe it took me so long for me to visit this place. Where do I begin? Service was TOP notch. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The first girl who sat us in the room was kind enough to turn the a/c up because it was freezing. She also brought menus and checked up on us often while our group started rolling in. Then our server (a blonde young woman with a hat and ponytail) was also so fun and friendly the entire night! She’d be singing along with us while bringing in food and taking our orders. 🎶 it was really such a great experience with service. Then the atmosphere, that room we rented is awesome!!! I’m not sure how they are able to contain all of the noise and craziness from the outside but somehow they do. & we all had a blast! The multiple screens, the art, the seating and tables, it’s perfect 🤩 Lastly, the food. I’ve been to a lot of wing places but I think these are by far the best wings I have ever had. They are juicy, flavorful and pretty large. The dumplings, kimchi…perfection 🙌🏽👏🏽 If you have been contemplating coming here, please do! You will not regret it. Also, if you need a fun place to have a party with friends, this is it!!!“

“We order a patacon and a pepito and it was delicious...
Great food and exceptional service!

Absolutely loved it!!!

“Excellent server named Bobby at this location. Bobby was super efficient and oversaw our absolutely awesome dining experience. Also the BEST dinner sized Ceasar Salad (one w/shrimp, one w/chicken) we have ever eaten. Note: The dinner size ceasar was not on the menu but our server Bobby made it happen!! Highly recommend this location! \nBon Appetite!“

“Really delicious chicken and ribs nglMy favorite is the carne asada though and the workers are nice too, overall would recommend if your in the area.

Kid-friendliness: Nice safe area

Parking: Easy parking

Wheelchair accessibility: Its flat so it's easily accessible“

“I don’t know what kind of magic they’re working behind the counter at Perry’s BBQ, but this mall food court joint just destroyed every strip mall Chinese spot I’ve ever been to. Their orange chicken? Unreal. Crispy doesn’t even begin to describe it—it’s audibly crunchy, with that perfect golden coating that somehow stays crisp even under a sticky, sweet-tangy glaze.

But here’s the kicker: portions. These folks don’t mess around. You order a combo, and they fill that Styrofoam container to the brim. It’s basically a protein mountain—whether it’s orange, bourbon, or Mongolian chicken (all excellent, by the way), you’re walking away with a meal and a half. Maybe three tbh.

Even the fried rice is dialed in. None of that bland, dry filler nonsense. It’s savory, loaded with flavor, and honestly could stand on its own. But paired with any of their proteins? Game over.

I came for something quick. I left thinking about when I’m coming back. Perry’s BBQ isn’t just good for a mall. It’s just flat-out amazing.“

“Great Korean Food with large portions“

“When we walked into this establishment it was clean the staff was super friendly and we were seated almost instantly! As soon as we walked in all of the staff were dancing and having fun and smiling. We walked up to the counter they said that they will be right with us and less than 10 seconds later the song was over and they came over. They had us go by where the bread baskets sit above the steaks. I was able to pick out which steak that I wanted and they used a ticket to hold the steak for me that way I could get it when it was ordered and no one else could get it which honestly was a huge surprise to me. I didn't know that they did that I just saw it and knew that was the steak I wanted. In my opinion that one was the perfect steak out of what was available(they all looked amazing) but it had the perfect marbling to meat ratio. It came medium rare and perfect. No extra anything was required! I know a lot of people like A1 sauce with their steaks but this one didn't need it at all. Perfectly seasoned through and through done exactly how it was supposed to be and was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was sweet and kind and we could see that she had quite a few tables, but she did a phenomenal job making sure each customer had a great experience. The last time we came in there was a very poor I wouldn't say service but it just seemed like everything that could have gone wrong did go wrong. The manager even gave us a $20 gift card for a $20 entree for our next visit because of how bad it was. They definitely redeem themselves this time and they didn't even know that we were coming back. But it was also super busy the last time we went so we weren't even expecting to get the $20 gift card for anything because we understood that life happens things happen people are crazy and life is crazy and we definitely give the benefit of the doubt always. I really really wish I remembered the name of our server. She was completely professional and on top of her game even though she had multiple tables to serve. The only possible thing we could think of to complain about was not getting our drinks refilled until the food had already arrived. But that was quickly remedied when she brought the food to the table. 10 out of 10 and will definitely be back again ❤️“

“The owner was very nice, offered samples to help us decide on an order, checked in with us after dining, and made our drinks. He was very personable and the food was great!“

“The food was great! The waiter was pushed. He had too much on his plate. They brought my sisters drink with ice in it when she asked for it, up, and I got a full-size house salad when I asked for a lunch salad (got charged for it too) otherwise everything was great.“
