Just ok

by kathee672

The place is cute. It was 96 degrees, but the fans overhead made it nice to sit outside. The service was fine. My husband had the combo plate with ribs, chopped pork and hot links. Everything was ok, nothing spectacular. The ribs were pretty dry and fatty. The beans were like Campbell's from a can. I had the chopped pork sandwich. It tasted like Lloyd's in the grocery store. I don't need to go back, but it wasn't terrible. I've had much better elsewhere

• Pros: Cute porch
• Cons: Food wasn't the best

OMG!!! Definitely the Best!!!

by MrandMrsKinzey

My husband and I just came back from Kojak's in Tampa where we had dinner to celebrate our first year marriage anniversary. We went in there expecting that the quality of the food had been exaggerated, but not the case. They truly have THE BEST RIBS!!!! The ribs were so awesome that we both ate half our ribs without BBQ sauce. My husband chose baked beans and applesauce for his sides and he said they were good. I chose parsley potatoes and green beans and they were good. We quickly decided that Kojak's was our new fav rib place. We also are grateful that we don't live within minutes of it!!! We'd be in so much trouble!!! AND, the chocolate cake!!!!!!! Haven't had chocolate cake like that since I was a child and my grandmother made everything from scratch!!!! It's a tiny, but cozy family style restaurant with a quaint veranda for dining out on the porch if you choose. Neither of us have EVER been that impressed with any restaurant's food. Neither of us care for fancy places. Neither of us like dressing up to the hilt. Neither of us care which fork should be used first. All that said, we feel we picked the perfect place to celebrate and mark our first year of marriage together! You can't beat the pricing for the quality of food and the speed at which is was served! It seemed that the server was back with our food within five minutes of taking our order! The food is top-notch! Don't go looking for french fries there. Real southern BBQ serves up your meat dish with veggies, not fries. You will NOT be disappointed! We will be returning!

• Pros: Real, Good Southern Food, Great Family Place
• Cons: Tiny - But Cozy

I'M PUZZLED

by peteydarla

I HAVE ONLY BEEN TO KOJAKS ONE TIME AND THE FOOD WAS AVERAGE TO ME. NOT BAD, JUST AVERAGE. BUT THE THING THAT REALLY SET ME BACK WAS WHEN I ASKED THE WAITRESS IF I COULD HAVE AN ORDER OF FRIES. SHE SAID "NO, WE DONT HAVE A DEEP FRIER". I DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO SAY. I THOUGHT SHE WAS JOKING. HOW CAN YOU HAVE A SOUTHERN BBQ JOINT AND NOT HAVE SOMETHING AS BASIC AS FRIES FOR A SIDE DISH?
