Delicious food!!!! Okay service. I can't say enough about their BBQ. We used them to cater an adult birthday party and EVERYONE raved about the food. We ordered ribs, smoked chicken wings, chopped chicken and sausage all cooked to perfection. My only complaint is that they were late and made no effort to remedy it. It's a contract not a hookup and that goes both ways if my money is green and delivered on time, I expect full professionalism. I understand things happen especially when cooking but offer some remedy for me having to leave a house full of guests to pick up late food. Other than that fantastic.

Dropped by after the recommendation of a friend and was very pleased! Be prepared to wait a little for the food since they do make things as they are ordered. A small inconvenience for fresh food. Definitely recommend the lunch special which is available on Thursdays and Fridays. Lunch special includes 1 meat and 2 sides for $8. Also, be sure to check their business hours as their hours seem to vary from time to time. Lastly, there isn't much seating inside but there are a few additional tables under the patio outside. Glad to see black owned small businesses like this one doing well!

Only my second time there but always awesome. I was remembered and they make me feel like part of their family. I live in st. Pete but visit every time I have to go to Tampa. I ordered enough food for 3 days. It is all so good I can never pick just one thing. I did try their deviled eggs today. Topped with meat and their homemade bbq sauce. Yummy. Plus I hope they enter that sauce in contests. Its so good. It is the best combination of all a bbq sauce should be. True jem in Tampa.

Everything was delicious! Fall off the bone ribs, a gigantic pulled pork sandwich on a tasty bun, creamy homemade mac & cheese, unbelievable red beans & rice. There's even surprise bread under the ribs! Best BBQ ever!

(2/14/20 visit) Had the chopped beef sandwich, mac n cheese, baked beans, and devil crab. EVERYTHING tasted great. Beef was tender. Mac n cheese was just the right amount of cheesy. The baked beans were sweet. The devil crab was seasoned perfectly. No complaints. Will be a returning customer.

Best BBQ in town. Sauces got a great kick, meats are fall off the bone, & the sides are delicious. Try any of the tea they make in any house. Can get something different everytime you go. Really good customer service, very nice people running the restaurant.

🤤🤤🤤 Ya Boy’s are now My Boy’s! Got the hot bbq wings for lunch and they were top notch! I’m not a big vinegar based bbq sauce fan, but these wings are so juicy and the flavors in the sauce is simply delicious!! I always wondered why they’re only open from Thursday - Sunday but I found out why! There was a bit of a wait for the wings, but I’ll never be upset waiting for fresh food! Get Ya Boy’s now, before the new housing goes in because you’ll never be able to get inside! Can’t wait to go back and get the ribs. The baked beans are sweet and almost made me go back for more.

Have been here a couple times. Hands down the best bbq in the area. If you haven’t tried it, for sure worth the time, you won’t regret it. Have heard great things about their catering as well. As always, looking forward to my next visit.

I hadn't visited in awhile. Really wanted some bbq and collard greens and decided to stop in. I was asked if I wanted greens on top of rice. Requested no rice with my greens, I got rice with greens. Meat and corn muffin was not moist. However the greens & mac salad was delicious. The ribs & wings meat was seasoned well, if it was moist it would have been yummy. Atmosphere was good.
