MISSION BBQ — Tampa

The business was founded by two friends passionate about barbecue, and this Tampa location carries that forward — a barbecue restaurant open seven days, serving lunch and dinner. The menu runs the usual suspects; the hours are reliable.

It's part of a multi-state operation, so what you get here is what you'd get elsewhere under the same name. No surprises, no deviation. If you're after consistency and a plate of barbecue without hunting down a one-off pit, it's there on the boulevard.
