Kojak's House of Ribs, Barbecue restaurant in Seffner, Hillsborough County, US.
Kojak's House of Ribs operates from a converted residential cottage built in southern style, set beneath mature oak trees on the property. The space includes dining rooms indoors, an outdoor fan-cooled porch, and a takeout counter for quick service.
The restaurant first opened more than 40 years ago in South Tampa before relocating to Seffner in 2022. The move allowed the business to continue serving its traditional recipes to a new area while keeping its established cooking style.
The Forney family keeps slow-smoking techniques alive in a way that draws locals back year after year. This approach to barbecue reflects how the community values traditional cooking methods passed down through generations.
The restaurant works well for both sitting down to eat or picking up meals to take with you based on your preference. Knowing the location at 1809 South Parsons Avenue helps you navigate there, and the setting under trees provides natural shade during warmer months.
Every main dish comes with two homemade sides included, which gives each meal a generous feel that you would not expect. This practice of doubling the sides makes meals feel more complete than typical barbecue restaurant offerings.
