AMAZING! Large portion sizes, the ribs were exactly what I was looking for. Ask him to make you a taco, you will thank me!

Hello friends, my wife was feeling hungry for ribs so we decided to hit a spot we tried last time called Chapmen BBQ and Soul Food.

Location is outdoors as the establishment has an outdoor oven/slow cook grill. No outdoor seating, no restrooms. Take out only.

Note: this directly message to the owner of Chapmen BBQ, we the customer spend our hard earned money on you for quality service and quality food which I happen to think this establishment has the potential to do and excel in. However, whenever you need to take time off and which I think we are all qualified to do, we the customers who invest in Chapmen BBQ would benefit from a notice of what is happening. It hurts your business. This way the customer know what to expect.

Now back to the review, overall the food was good, the portion is good and the price is decent. However, I ordered two orders of ribs with double Mac and Cheese and a half of chicken with Mac and Cheese, I never got the Macaroni and cheese?

I will try again and see if I get what I paid for.

My lady said she wanted BBQ for dinner tonight, REAL bbq and this place did not miss! We got the rib dinner and pulled pork dinner with Mac and cheese, baked beans, tuna Mac, and cabbage...it was all glorious. Keep doing what you're doing and add those tacos too! We will be back.

I now live in Houston Texas. I used to live in Florida and before that i lived in chicago illinois. i have done ALOT i mean ALOT of traveling and i think about this bqq place at least once a week. I honestly am thinking of visiting florida again just for this food. I dont even like bqq that much but i dream of their mac n cheese and banana pudding and their bqq sandwhich. I genuinely have yet to find bqq that i genuinely think is comparable. When i get married im gonna contact them to have them cater. I literally will pay for their traveling expenses. i sit here super sad that i cant have it anymore because im in texas. literally better than any texas bbq place.

Fairly new to the area as far as Tampa goes and try a few barbecue places. Hands-down the best that I’ve tasted in the last four years that I’ve been here. Highly recommend going well worth the drive.

So good! They didn't have enough macaroni for both plates so I got dirty rice instead. Which was also so yummy ???? They gave me a red velvet cake too ????

The food here was AMAZING. No bull high quality BBQ. The ribs were fall off the bone and had such a good smoky flavor. The mac & cheese was so creamy and seasoned as well. My boyfriend got the brisket sandwich and dirty rice which he rated 5 stars. We didn’t have a very long wait time either. I will be back to try the chicken soon. Highly recommend.

UPDATE: These guys have moved to US 19 across the highway from Kobe steakhouse just north of Roadway Inn. Address is 28792 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33761

Picked up a full rack of pork ribs from Chapman's at the corner of Main and Belcher in Dunedin. Oddly intrigued at the fully involved fire and smokefest on the south end of a Mobile Gas station. Don't worry. Fire station is less than 4,000 feet away. Digress over. Fantastic ribs. As a person of native Alabama heritage and having lived in the Caribbean as a child, I have some innate philosophical/voodoo comprehension of the art of Q, and I can say these could have approached infinite perfection if they had rendered a bit longer on the smoker for that unique legacy flavor of Luther's Burnt Ends. Some of the delicious pork fat was still unrendered in my rack, but that is easily solved by reheating in a slo oven and BONUS I then have some smoked pork schmaltz for chili. Fudgin' heavin yo. Parking is a bit of an issue, but if -- unlike me -- you are considerate, you will figure it out. Chapman's is full o'soul and smoke excellence and had me spinning Eddie Floyd Knock on Wood in no time. For some old sckool southern heaven, gitcha sum a dis soul sacrifice of pigness. Queue Michael Shreve drum solo. I out.
