10/10 for the food and the experience.
Upon walking in everyone is greeted by Chef Essi! He is so kind and evidently passionate about his restaurant and quality of his food. He didn’t just say hi, he engaged in conversation and explained all of the food we ordered from how it’s made to what exactly is in it. The wait time to get the food was not long at all and everything was perfectly cooked/flavored. I am not local to the area but will absolutely be taking the 45 minute drive to come back to dine at this location.
Thank you Chef Essi and your team for providing a great experience and very delicious food!

I tried the Buffalo Mac with smoked chicken and a burger at Southern Luv BBQ, and I’m not exaggerating when I say this was one of the best meals I’ve had in Tampa.
The Buffalo Mac with smoked chicken was unreal — you can absolutely tell it’s made fresh to order. Creamy, perfectly balanced heat, and the smoked chicken takes it to another level. Hands down the best mac & cheese in Tampa.
Now the burger… legitimately the best burger I’ve ever had. I’m not just hyping it up — once I started eating it, I couldn’t put it down. Juicy, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and built right. Every bite was ridiculous.

My Aunt and I wanted to try something new so on the way to the airport we googled BBQ and this place came up as 4.8 and well we were not disappointed. First the owner and the staff were kind and walked us through the menu. Have some great recommendations… we had the brisket and jalapeño cheddar sausage. We had to try most of the sides, cornbread, Mac and cheese, beans and slaw.
I can saw everything was great.
Meat was tender and flavorful, the sides were also plenty and flavorful. The beans had a sweetness and smokeyness to it, the Mac and Cheese had great flavor or sharp cheddar and was creamy. The cornbread was awesome, we added cheese and jalapeños to it which added a special touch.
I would recommend this place if you are in the area.
We are planning on coming back whenever in back in town

Phenomenal BBQ spot nestled on Citrus Park Drive. All of the sauce, all of the meats, freshly made or otherwise smoked and pulled in house. You can tell that the owner and Chef, Essi has been through the trials to make this BBQ place shine and truly feel the passion in his presentation and flavors he’s crafted through his house made BBQ sauces, that feel familiar yet unique to Southern Luv.
I have had almost the entire menu now and can honestly say that there’s no dish you wouldn’t come back to at least twice.

Chef Essi and his establishment are everything you could want and more in a local restaurant and BBQ place!!! We ordered catering for a teachers and staff meeting at our school, and boy did he deliver! You can taste their BBQ expertise in every bite. Thank you, Chef Essi and team, for providing such delicious food with exceptionally friendly and kind service! Support this local business! You won’t be disappointed!!!
My family and I also ordered dinner from here and will most certainly be coming back. I can’t get enough of the pulled pork mac and cheese ! The banana pudding was devoured by all of us within minutes… along with the BBQ chips on the way home! Southern Luv has nailed traditional BBQ with their own unique flavor. Can’t wait for our next order!

This place is amazing! Got to meet Chef Essi who explained how they make everything fresh in house from the meat, to the sauces, to the sides. It’s all fresh small batch prepared!
You could tell when you tasted it. Everything had so much flavor! My wife and I shared the 3 meat platter and added the 4th meat with mac and cheese and potato salad as our sides. We also got their Carolina style pulled pork sandwich.
Everything we had was next level! I highly recommend this place. The service the food and the cleanliness was top notch.

We were in Tampa for the weekend and stopped here for dinner. Absolutely amazing food. My daughter wanted mac and cheese but they were out. The owner went out of his way to make some just for her. Nice guy and great service. I had the Alabama Slamma and it really was one of the best barbque sandwiches I have ever had. My entire family enjoyed all of our selections. Best part, they are expanding to South Florida. Looking forward to attend their grand opening whenever they make it there.

Had a little BBQ event at our job, and we brought in Southern Luv as the caterer — and let me tell you… my entire culinary worldview was shattered in the most heavenly way imaginable. IT. WAS. SOOOOOOO. UNBELIEVABLY freaking good. I’m talking flavor so potent, so mind-alteringly immaculate, it felt like the universe paused for a moment just to let me fully appreciate it.
Every bite was like being gently escorted by angels through a smokey, sweet, slow-cooked paradise. The meat was so tender it practically dissolved on my tongue like it was performing a disappearing act just to flex on every other meal I’ve ever had. The sauces? Bro, they weren’t sauces — they were liquid poetry, cascading across my taste buds with the elegance of a Southern sunset dipped in gold.
It was so astronomically gas that it legitimately rewired my brain. My entire perspective on BBQ as a genre, an art form, a spiritual experience — forever changed. And now I’m destined to spend the remainder of my mortal existence wondering if I will ever again encounter such a majestic, transcendent, borderline divine creation. I fear I may never reach that peak again… but oh, what a peak it was.

Sorry about no pics, I was hungry . Always the small joints are better at this, than corporates. All handmade. My Que bano was awesome. Loved the potato salad, lighter like a cole slaw dressing. Mac and cheese legit, not salty. Gonna blow the owner’s mind next time, and ask for brisket(upcharge)instead of the pulled pork, which was excellent, in my Quebano.

The food was delicious! I love BBQ. Its traditional smoked BBQ with great sauce options.(they also offer beef ribs on the weekend) I also had a burger amazing as well. The bake beans were really good. The potato salad not your regular and was absolutely delicious. I also tried the strawberry shortcake for dessert. I have no complaints. The owner was extremely friendly and passionate about his menu. I will return!
