More than a BBQ joint
Faith · Hospitality · Heart
That’s Southern Luv. A good plate is where it starts — not where it ends.
Faith
It grounds how we cook, how we hire, and how we treat every guest who walks through the door.
Hospitality
You're not a customer here — you're a guest at our table, treated like family every single visit.
Heart
We lead with giving. Generous plates, and a hand for the neighborhood when it counts most.
Chef Essi Tadrus
Founder & Pitmaster
Born from a plate of ribs.
Built for the neighborhood.
Chef Essi’s love for BBQ started at five years old — his first ribs at a gas station in Fort Hood, Texas, where his dad was stationed. He opened his first restaurant at nineteen and, years later, brought it home to Tampa.
When Hurricane Milton knocked out the power, Southern Luv fired the pit back up and handed out free pulled pork and mac & cheese to neighbors who needed a warm meal. That’s the heart part — and it isn’t going anywhere.

Our story.
More Than a BBQ Joint.
It started with Chef Essi’s first plate of ribs at age five, and grew into a Tampa BBQ family. Today that’s premium meats, everything made from scratch, and a table where you’re treated like family.
Award-winning sandwiches, small-batch sauces, our own chips — and a whole lot of heart. Faith, hospitality, and heart: that’s Southern Luv.
