Factory South Tampa Bbq - Nowatney

I wanted to meet girlfriends for dinner and cocktails. I called first and asked about HHour specials. We went only to find out their are two different companies running it. If you want to sit outside there are no happy hour specials. The drink prices were OK, but not what I was told on the phone. And if you order food it comes from the other business, so you get 2 different checks! I ordered pork and it was very tough and hard to cut. It needed a steak knife to cut through it. I was hungry so ate it! My friends shared a seafood dish and liked it. Strange for the seafood to be better at a BBQ place!All in all it was OK once we got over the confusion.

Very underrated hidden gem in South Tampa! Stumbled across this spot and I'm in love. If you can't decided on the meat just do the platter and try it all!

Horrendous...after an hours wait with only 4 other tables in the place, they served a roast and called it brisket. The chicken was super dry, the slaw disgusting as it was pickled and the beans cold. It cost $85 for the three of us after drinking only water with the exception of my husband's one BloodyMary. We all walked away hungry. We will never be back. Ick.

Hands down the WORST meal I've had in Tampa! I had high hopes for this place based on the menu, reviews and how crowded the parking lot always was. The BBQ Brisket Tacos were a complete disaster with very little meat and literally drenched in bbq sauce. The 1/2 lb Burger was just as terrible with most of the meat being left over chunks of chewy/fatty pieces. The only edible part of the burger was sadly the bun and bacon it came with. The 2 stars are for the service and the roasted potato salad. Don't buy into the hype or be fooled by the reviews and crowded parking lot.

The brisket was amazing! We had the tacos and the brisket burger. The tacos were really good. The burger was just brisket on a bun with an American cheese slice which was kinda disappointing because the brisket was just so good. Basically we just picked the meat off the bun and ate it by itself. Next time we'll stick with the tacos or just get meat by itself.
