Best BBQ ever
by foodcriticvk
This place is always A+++ in my book. I eat out 5 nights a week due to my work schedule and the food here is awesome! Service is always friendly- the only suggestion would be to update the dining room area- its a BBQ place but could feel a little more like home for those of us who like to eat in. Keep up the great service and keep the food coming! The hot macaroni is the BEST! The homemade BBQ sauce should be bottled and sold in retail stores-since the quality is that good. AND the best part of this place is that the management cares about its customers. They even cater to kids-my 10 and 12 year old never complain about going to First Choice to eat!
- Pros: Great food, service, and value
- Cons: ambience could be improved a little

Heard about it...and everyone is right...incredible!!!
by AvonBrian
I have to say that I have eaten BBQ from one end of the state to the other....and this was the best. I heard about this place from a co-worker of my wife's at the County Center. We went last night (08 Jul 08 at around 6:30pm) amidst the rain, and didn't find a long line because of the weather. What we did find were 4 guys working the cooking area who were very personable, incredible BBQ (you have to try the ribs), the best sauce I have ever had and cold sodas. The maccaroni was a monster though, very spicy...but good. The beans were very tasty and the atmosphere was perfect for eating BBQ...no frills...just great food. I have found my BBQ heaven in Tampa/Brandon. Treat yourself...you won't break the bank...the prices are VERY reasonable.
- Pros: Great food, cold drinks, very cool employees. 2 thumbs up and if I had another hand, it would be 3 thumbs up!
- Cons: I really can't think of anything bad enough to mention here!

Best BBQ in Tampa
by jeffjames17
First Choice is by far the best BBQ in the Tampa area. The long lines out the door at lunchtime every day is a testament to how good the food is here. The atmosphere inside the place is no-frills, but it's exactly what you want for a BBQ restaurant. The ribs are huge, meaty and tender. The pulled pork is some of the best around. The side dishes are excellent too -- huge piles of french fries, a spicy macaroni salad that is unlike anything you've ever eaten, great baked beans. For the price, you can't beat the quality and amount of food you get here.
- Pros: food, quick service, price
- Cons: location (unless you live in Brandon, Riverview, etc.), seating
