We got the half rack, collards, mac and cheese and the banana pudding. Been here quite a few times but somehow never reviewed. The food and service are always TOP NOTCH. Delicious food by good people. The banana pudding HIT. The nilla wafers were still nice and crunchy too! Go get you some!

Easily would be five stars if the restaurant was in better condition. Would love to come inside and enjoy some food but the place isn’t in the best condition. Besides that, Food was amazing but there’s more to a restaurant than just food . I could see this place packed if the environment wasn’t like I’m visiting my great grandmas house in the hood.

Can I get flies with that? The food seemed old and reheated. Flies everywhere. No way it is up to code.

We visited Da Spot on Sunday. The food was fantastic, and portions gracious. Collard greens, excellent., pulled pork was lean and delicious. We will be visiting Da Spot for BBBQ regularly.

Here tucked away on a small vien road that works its way through Tarpon Springs is a gem. A BBQ spot known as DA SPOT. The smoke rising from the smoker fills the air, and the aroma makes your mouth water.

I have long been a fan of BBQ and especially the slow smoked version. So, I have high expectations from anyone who pits the effort (pardon the pun) to slow smoke meat in a smoker. The attention required to maintain the appropriate heat and smoke flavor. The patience to wait for its core temperature to rise above 220 degrees. These are the attributes of a true BBQ Chef.

I have sampled many BBQ smoked meat fooderies, and none have wowed me so much! The meat was tender and full of smokey good flavor, and the suace was so good you could just dip bread in and eat just like that!

At DA SPOT, i ordered the sausage, chicken, and ribs, and it was a hands down game changing! The flavor profile was major, and the meat was cooked perfectly.

Troy was a great host and served me fast and friendly. As a neighborhood spot he made me feel right at home with my order.

Five Stars for Flavor, portion size, for kind words and for knowing his customers by name. For some of the best BBQ sauces, I have had my close to 50 years. Five stars for the nostalgia that the aroma brings. And last of for Having some of the best smoked meat BBQ I have had in my life.

The gal working the window was so Nice & Friendly and the guy working the Smoker is DA MAN!! That being said, Da Spot is hands down the BEST BBQ Ive had in Florida. And that is Saying A LOT.

Some of the best Ribs I've Ever eaten! Everything we tried was DELICIOUS and our 6 Year old Son also LOVED IT. Says a lot when the kid and the parents both LOVE the mac & Cheese. Quite honestly, this was one of the best Finds ever. And the Prices are FANTASTIC.

I wasn't Compensated for this review even though it sounds like it. I Review a LOT of places and this one was just that good!! Here we Go.

Ribs - 10/10. Your'e not gonna find better. Perfect Smoke Ring, Perfect Doneness Level and PERFECTLY not Dry! These have the perfect Tenderness. Not Sloppy Greasy Over Cooked like many ribs. These had some Meatiness and simply had FLAVOR and CHARACTER! The dude even carves these to perfection! Think ALMOST A Boneless Rib. PERFECTION. So Damn GOOD.
These Ribs alone are worth serious Travel Time. We live in North Pasco and I promise we will be making the 35 Drive.

Shrimp Dinner - 10/10 WIFE LOVED The fried Shrimp. Great Seasoning, Tasty, FRESH Shrimp. DELICIOUS. Also, the Fries are 10/10 Also!!

Mac & Cheese - 10/10 for a BBQ Stand, you just wont find better. Our 6 year old Loved it and Mom and Dad LOVED it also. As you'll see in the Photos, lots of that Browned Cheese Goodness that Makes GREAT Mac!!!

Baked Beans - BRO...... Again, I sound like these are my Kids running this place but again, these ALSO the BEST Beans Ive Had. They had this cool almost Jamaican Jerk, Molasses kinda Sweetness to them. We LOVED Them. Not your Typical BBQ add Ketchup and Brown Sugar to a can of Beans Standard B.S.. Like the rest of what we ate, these Beans F*CK. lol

Everything was SO SO GOOD that we had to get a To Go Banana Pudding and some Boiled Peanuts. BOTH Again, the best we've ever had.

We look forward to going back and diving even deeper into their offering. Excited to try the Wings!

If I was to Ding them, The Coleslaw was just Ok, but nothing id get again. Wish they had some BBQ Sauce Assortment. Not that theirs is Bad because it actually was REALLY Good, but i'm a Vinegary or Spicy kinda Sauce Guy. The BBQ sauce however is NOT NEEDED because the food is DELICIOUS!

We will be coming back OFTEN.

Great, Nice, Friendly, AWESOME Folks. Love when good people kick ass like this!!!

10 Out of 10 ALL DAY LONG.

Kid-friendliness: Ou 6 Year Old LOVED the place. The Mac and Cheese is FIRE!!!!!!

We had the rib lunch with two sides. We picked dirty rice and collard greens. BBQ pork sandwich and sausage links. All were very good and a great price. We ordered from the counter and ate in our car so I can’t say anything about the dining area but the food was solid. Staff was very nice.
