    Went on a Friday night for dinner just by picking it off the map. Food was amazing and good price for what you get. My husband loved the dry rub ribs, and the brisket was perfect! If you are ever in St Pete, I highly recommend this place!

    Smokin19 is a hidden gem. The crowd here is pretty mild. Lots of hobbyists. The restaurant has great BBQ. Next door at the bar and pool hall, they host a great monthly art show and have fantastic art for sale throughout each month, A great billiards league every Saturday night and many other events. If you like plenty of space, music at a volume that leaves room for conversation, art and playing FREE pool, you've got to check this place out.

    It was my first time here, and the women working was the sweetest! We weren’t waiting long but she offered us something to drink as we waited outside, and tossed in some sauce for us with our food. The food is really good and well seasoned, definitely a place to check out if you’re in the area! The only thing I’m upset about is not catching her name (she has long black hair), she’ll be another pull for us coming back! She probably didn’t realize it, but her kindness made my Sunday night all the brighter.

    I have driven past this place and wanting to try it for a few years now. Needless to say I should have kept driving. The Waitress was very nice, and was definitely good at her job. The Decor was pretty cool and seemed like a fun atmosphere. I took the food to go this time. I had the Burger Mac Burger. That was the best part of the meal. However, the Burger was cooked to the right temperature, but nothing really worth praising. I got the Rib Basket to try a bite or two and finish tomorrow. The Ribs were way too dry. They were too overcooked. I will not be finishing them at all. I really didn't like the seasoning salt on the Fries, and the beans were improved by the Carolina Mustard Sauce. Unfortunately this was my First and Last visit to Smokin 19.

    I work nearby so when I finally got a chance to visit, the food was great! But the portion sizes to go were extreme. Paid $14.00 for a plate no bigger than my wallet. Please do better with the portions, I'd love to come back.

    I had an awesome experience at this place. Stacy. The bartender was absolutely amazing and very welcoming. The $5 menu was banging. Banging I had four different things but my favorite weather wings on the Bruno wing review I would give it a 7.9. I had sliders in some ribs and they were all amazing. They also have free billiards next door where you can order food and drink there too. This place is badass.

    Ribs so delicious that I didn't need BBQ sauce. Meat melted in my mouth like butter. Fries seasoned perfect and coleslaw was awesome too. Price was great to.

    Ribs was falling off the bone!!! The barbecue sauce was on point . One of the best ribs I ever tasted. The Mac and Cheese was very cheesy and creamy. Bake beans had pull pork mix in them ...delicious

    I went to this place and everything was fine. The bartender was great. But the portion size on the brisket Mac attack was something I was not expecting. The bowl is very small. And the mac and cheese was something that you would get out of a box. The brisket was pretty good. The bacon on top of the mac and cheese was also pretty good but the portion size just wasn't what I was expecting.

    Can I be honest? I was thoroughly surprised at how tasty the food was. I was watching an episode of The Bachelor where they were making ribs and I immediately wanted to eat some. However, all my usual barbecue spots were closed at that hour so I was left with this place. Thankfully I was able to place and pickup my carryout order by going through the drive thru before they closed. The ribs were extremely tender, the meat practically sliding off the bone. I love to slather sauce on top of my rib ls but these were seasoned so well I could've eaten them without and been fine. Definitely a pleasant surprise.

    Sort of empty on a Sunday night. Hours changed, so they closed at 8, no problem though. Pork Mac and cheese was great. I like a little more char, but I know not everyone does and the flavor was very good.

    This has become our Friday night gathering place. They are holding a Friday night Hot rod cruise in. It's hosted by the local Scroungers Car Club. All clubs are welcome! We love their pulled pork. They have a pretty extensive menu. Great place to go. Black board specials.

    Had a taste for BBQ and I decided to stop in. The place wasn't to busy and I was helped immediately. The food is decent but the Mac n cheese need a little help. Overall not a bad experience. I'll be back in the future but I won't be order Mac n cheese lol

    As a Kansan, I'm very picky about my Q, and Smokin' 19 is FANTASTIC! The cook gave me burnt ends for my chopped brisket sandwich, and it was melt in your mouth , smoky, divine deliciousness! My BF had a cheeseburger, it was perfectly grilled and seasoned, the fries were crisp and nicely salted, oh, and my mac& cheese was also very good. As great as the food was, the best part of our visit was our server,NeNe. That young lady is a delight, and REALLY GOOD at her job! She was running the entire front of house alone, and still made time to chat with a couple of crazy old people like us. As a former pro myself, I'd have killed to work with someone as good as she is! Check this locally owned restaurant out yourself, I promise you'll get a great meal and great service! And ask for NeNe, you'll love her too!

    When I walked in I was greeted warmly by the staff AND the guests 😂 Had the pulled pork sandwich with collard greens to go. Both were incredibly flavorful and piping hot. Can’t speak on “midget wrestling” they advertised tho 😆 but that gives you an idea of the atmosphere. Might be fun with a loose crowd :)

    Best ribs in St.Pete. so tender and flavorful. We got two ribs baskets and a burger patty all for $20. Can't beat that with a stick. Definitely going back. Service was great also.

    Side of the road BBQ joint with a casual atmosphere, pleasant and speedy service and FANTASTIC food. Pictures of our empty baskets because the pulled pork and brisket sandwiches didn't stand a chance! Another stellar Valentines Day BBQ date in the books

    When there last weekend for a car show. First time eating there and it was amazing. Although it was very busy, they were very quick with taking our order and getting our food out to us. I ordered the ribs and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was amazing, one of the best I've ever had. Ribs were falling off the bone and were delicious with the BBQ sauce. Best Ribs Ever. I would highly recommend this place

    Looked this place up on Google and saw decent reviews for their burnt ends and wanted to give it a go. Walked in, waitress comes up almost immediately for drinks, brings them and takes our order - two burnt end brisket dinners and a Mac and cheese brisket bowl. We waited almost 30 mins for our food and the "burnt ends" were just burnt, tasted like charcoal and couldn't be eaten. The cook had put BBQ sauce on top of normal brisket and broiled it in the oven until it had the consistency of a charcoal brick and the brisket was stuck to the foil it was served (and presumably broiled in). The waitress apologized, said the cook wasn't great and it was "probably his last day". She then changed our dinners to pulled pork dinners (cheaper) and gave us two servings of pork to go since we had already eaten our sides.The sides were okay - the baked potato and jalapeno cornbread were good but nothing jumped out as amazing. The Mac n cheese could have been boxed Mac, not sure. All in all, the waitress saved the experience but we probably won't be going back.

    Great food, free pool, cold beer. Perfect hidden dive treasure. Come back for Midget Wrestling in January 26.

  • 2/5 Rachel M. 1 year ago on Google
    There’s no way this place should be charging $66 for the little ribs we received as well as only portions tasted smoked. I gave 2 stars because the gold sauce was really good. I assumed when I got home, we paid for two half-rack of ribs because we received two to-go containers and only half a rack each were in the two separate containers. When I checked my bank account this morning, I was charged $66 total. I checked their menu online. Their full rack is $30.95. That times 2 is about $66. So upset and will not be purchasing from them again.

  • 1/5 David G. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought wings and ribs..Mac n cheese and baked beans. All were horrible! The ribs are supposed to be smoked but have no smoke rings nor do they taste liked they were smoked.

  • 5/5 Albert J. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the rib basket and 1/2 lb of brisket. Both were perfect. Nice flavors, great price, service was excellent and atmosphere was cool. Can't wait to come back. Highly recommend.

  • 3/5 Alex B. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved eating here, but DONT ORDER THE RIBS THEY WILL SHORT YOU. I ordered a rack of ribs, and what I got was 1/4 rack. A whole rack consists of 13 bones (anatomicly speaking) I received 7, and they were short (cut in half to get more out of rack). They may have messed up on our order but we paid so much money for it. Every other time the portions have been great (atleast for cheap things on menu)
