Wicked Oak BarbeQue — Restaurant in Tampa

I would never recommend this place for catering. Although the owner is nice, the service and experience with Brandi was terrible. I booked catering with Wicked Oak BBQ over 6 months in advance for my wedding. I provided all delivery details and information. I received the invoice and had several questions, so when I called and spoke with Brandi I was told not to worry about the small $80 deposit and that the full payment can be made the week of delivery. They resent the invoice 6 days before the wedding, but when I called to make my payment they informed me they have over booked themselves and that I can pick it up on the day of the wedding but they will no longer deliver because “they weren’t sure I was still using them”. Everything was booked and scheduled down to the delivery time and person of contact. If several confirmations are required, it should be the duty of the establishment to reach out and confirm THE EVENTS THAT THEY BOOKED, before over scheduling themselves and providing a lame excuse such as “we weren’t sure”. They stated there was a miscommunication, but there was absolutely no misunderstanding.. Brandi provided bad information then subtly laughed when she said “I haven’t heard from you recently“… again, this event was booked and delivery was scheduled. Felix the owner “tried” to make the situation better by offering to have his friend (not an employee) deliver with an additional fee of $150.

I do not recommend this food establishment ESPECIALLY if you have a wedding or any important event. They have proven to be unreliable and...

I ordered delivery today for a late lunch early dinner for two people. This is one place the two of us consistently agree on and we go here at least once a month sometimes we go eat more frequently. Today I got the Dirty dog and loaded tots. The Dirty dog was put on a normal hot dog bun when it usually comes on a brioche bun, even without the stuffing inside of it, the sausage would not have fit properly in the bun. The pork was flat and bread was soggy. Usually ordering this delivery is not an issue bc the brioche bun holds up to all the queso. The entire thing looked just unappealing to the eye. My loaded tots where again the meat was flat as in no flavor depth no seasoning barely a taste, nothing. The tots barely had queso on them and were unseasoned and flat tasting. For the second person, a pulled chicken sandwich, which is normally tossed in sauce then out on bun and comes with a side container of sauce, also missing on the sandwich was jalepeno which you pay extra for. The chicken was dry and flat tasting as well. Which unfortunately was the same meat ordered on the smoke bomb potato, as well as not having enough queso. Sour cream also put in a hot food container instead of outside in the bag. Instead of a paper bag which is normally used all items were shoved into a plastic bag that was hard to open. This was a really disappointing order from somewhere we order from frequently. And a real disappointing use...

Totally worth the hype, so much food and absolutely delicious 😋 Food came out quick and hot! Portions were huge definitely getting 2 meals out of each platter, but if your hungry you can def get your fill here! My dad got the ribs and brisket with baked beans and coleslaw. I got the pulled pork and brisket with mac and cheese and hogs feed (corn pudding). The meats were all juicy and flavorful (honestly no sauce needed). The ribs were loaded with meat had to eat off both sides of the bone there was so much. Portion of the sides were more than I'm use to at little bbq places. Mac and cheese was creamy and flavorful, corn feed was good, little dried out but still worth it. Beans were simple and delicious just like I like em and coleslaw was flavorful, I personally just like more juice on mine but all around amazing food. Then the sauces, my fav was the Guava it cut the smokies down a bit and had a avery lite sweet taste which was perfect for my taste. The apple was ok, cut the smokies down but didn't have the sweet as much as the Guava one. The sweet was just a classic flavorful delicious sweetbbq sauce. Staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had! Love the tiktok videos they...
