Also listed in: Tampa BBQ Over 50 Tampa

The Liberty Smokehouse is a veteran-owned barbecue kitchen on North Florida Avenue in Seminole Heights, a few blocks up the same street from Wicked Oak. Its own site puts the military background at the centre of the place, saying that as a veteran-owned establishment it is dedicated to serving with the same pride and excellence upheld in the military. The kitchen hand makes its own pickles, sauce, rubs and brines for every item it creates, and it also runs a mobile smokehouse that sets up with breweries and venues around Tampa Bay. TAMPA Magazine listed it in the voters also loved row of its 2026 Best Barbecue results.
