Review:

Poppa’s BBQ is a no-frills, award-winning barbeque restaurant situated in Clearwater, Florida, between the shimmering Gulf of Mexico and Old Tampa Bay. All of the wonderful barbeque flavors come from the large, black, oak-wood smoker parked outside. The restaurant specializes in Memphis-style ribs, meaning they’re cooked with a tasty dry rub and served without any barbeque sauce. They keep the menu simple with items ranging from pulled pork to baby-back ribs to BBQ chicken to potato salad. The interior is equipped with fawn-colored walls, tan tile floors, brown tables, black padded chairs, and framed competition posters. The Jumbo Pulled Pork Combo is a popular option, served with a drink and two sides.
