“My Memphis born husband stopped smoking pork and beef when we discovered Eli's. Whenever family visits, getting Eli's BBQ is a MUST. WE have enjoyed their pork, beef, beans,, coleslaw and sauce for many gatherings. Most recently we hosted a very large party. All the food was so good, people wanted to know where we got it! Ronni and the staff are good, caring people. The value ion the food, the service and the warmth of the owners and staff make it a "gotta come back again often" place. At this time there is road work being done in front, that makes it a bit difficult to get to, but it is worth the effort. It's right on the Dunedin Trail, so you can go by bike, or walk a bit further than you are used to on Douglas..“

“Had the quesadilla and nachos. They were great!“

“The managers both Carlie and Justin were both very accommodating when I called to make a reservation for 20 to celebrate a birthday at the restaurant. Our server Devon did an outstanding job and was absolutely fine regarding our request for multiple checks. The food was simply delicious and the prices were reasonable. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake and they served it for no extra charge. We were all extremely happy with the service provided and will definitely return!!“

Parmasean Crusted Chicken, Loaded Baked Potato, 12oz Ribeye (Cooked perfectly), Mashed potatoes and Steakhouse Mac & Cheese were all phenomenal! Kudos to the crew working on a Monday night.

As first timers we needed some assistance in ordering and cooking and Sukie didn't disappoint. This is the best Korean barbecue in the Tampa Bay area, hands-down! Don't forget to thank the staff for all of their kindness and knowledge“

“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.“

“Welcome to your favorite (or future favorite) Texas styled steakhouse. Prepare for great quality food including, steak (my favorite is the ribeye), loaded potato, Texas tonion (longhorn’s bloomin onion), and great broccoli, also more.

The staff is always energetic and giving recommendations for new customers to order.

If you are vegetarian, can’t have pork, or even can’t have red meat, there are lots of alternatives besides the steak. Dishes include salads, chicken, and I don’t think they even serve pork.

This is one of my favorite steakhouses.“

“We had a rehearsal dinner for approximately 40 people this past week. Talked to Emma! She was so amazing. I want to make sure the owner of this establishment knows how valuable she is to the restaurant. She was so kind and accommodating. She single-handedly served all 40 of us. She is a wonderful person, and it was one of the highlights of our entire wedding weekend. It was so good, in fact, that my wife and I and a few of our children came back on Sunday and she served us again. God bless you, Emma!“

“My husband and I were recently in the area to help family with cleanup after Helene. We decided to check out Smokey Bones as it was not too far from our hotel. We went along with family and overall we were very happy with the place. We liked the food but I thought the chili was on the sweet side...which I personally don't like. The best part about our meal was our server Brittany. We went back a second time and we were lucky to have Brittany as our server again. She was very friendly and entertaining. If we ever go back to Fl, we will definitely stop by.“

“This is a fast food shop at the mall. Service was friendly and quick, even though the line was long. The chicken and broccoli combo was delish! It had of lots of tender chicken, perfectly cooked broccoli in a tasty, savory sauce. We also really enjoyed the fried rice and noodles that were included in the combo. They made the perfect pairing! The egg roll was crispy and fresh. The price was right, $11.49, and portions were huge, which made for lots of leftovers! I recommend you check them out! 😋“

“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!“

“By far some of the best food in the business On Thursday bogo on chicken parm and meatballs can't beat it those wood burning wings are the best I ever had“
