A good, non-chain southern BBQ place, but with more of a Kansas City style BBQ, very authentic, seems like it's been there for years. Quite often its packed but I've been able to walk right in, get a table and sit down to ribs in a matter of minutes. Service is great, all the staff seems like family or that they've been there a long time. Their BBQ sauce is also quite good. The chicken is great and cheap with two sides, the sausage is respective southern style and good, and the ribs can be either just good, or very good. On the other side: Pulled pork is bland. And the beef (may not be served anymore) was very dry and bland, I pretty much couldn't eat it and it's not recommended.

Sides are simple and passable, the sort of stuff that you'd expect at a southern potluck, which I rather enjoyed.

Desert, the Apple Cake with vanilla ice cream is excellent.

So: Good for ribs and chicken, and sausage, sides are simple but good, but other items on the menu are passable at best.

Why would you want something aside the ribs anyway?

I've been eating at Kojak's for over 10 years now. A little pricey, but the food has never been anything less than fantastic. My new favorite is the Apple Cake dessert.

Amazing food, I eat at Kojak's at least twice a weak!!

great food.....

We love Kojaks, we moved to South Tampa 7 1/2 years ago and have not been anywhere else for our ribs but Kojaks!!!!! They are the BEST, and the people are wonderful, they make you feel like you are the only customer when you are there whether it is for calling in and picking up or or dining in.
