The ribs at Kojak's are crazy good. They have a nice balance of spice to meat and even though I live over three-and-a-half hours away, I crave them. On a recent trip to the area I jumped out on the conference I was attending to make a 40 minute drive to Kojak's.

The ribs are great but so is the potato salad, homemade with lots of chunky potatoes and a nice tangy sauce.

Kojak's House of Ribs is a modest feed stop, near Tampa's scenic Hillsborough Bay, that serves outsized meat dishes and sides. The spare ribs have a crispy char outside and are moist, great in combination with the parsley potatoes, a buttery-gold side concoction. The hot link sandwich is a worthwhile diversion from the ribs if, for whatever reason, ribs are not foremost on the mind of a diner at a place with as ribby a name as Kojak's. The links are snappy and have a little picante zing to keep things interesting.

Both meat dishes go well with the somewhat local beer: Ybor Gold. Last, and certainly not least, comes the key lime pie, which -- with its nice mixing of sour and sweet in a dense curd -- is tough not to tackle.
