Our story

Built to serve.Made to gather.

The firehouse started the story. Food, family, and taking care of people are what keep it moving forward.

From the firehouse to Station House

Food is how we bring people together.

Station House BBQ was founded by retired firefighter Anthony Fonseca and his wife, Allison, a local school teacher. What began as meals shared with first responders grew into a Tampa Bay hospitality company built around smoked meats, scratch-made sides, and genuine service.

Anthony brought the discipline and teamwork of the firehouse. Allison brought the warmth that turns a meal into hospitality. Together, they built a business where the food has to be memorable and the people have to feel cared for.

Our mission is simple: serve exceptional food, honor those who serve, and strengthen the community around us.

What matters here

Good food. Real service. Strong community.

Firefighter-founded

Service is in the DNA

The discipline and responsibility of the firehouse still shape how we prepare, show up, and take care of people.

Award-winning food

Flavor worth gathering for

Our Cuban sandwich earned first-place recognition, and our barbecue keeps Tampa Bay coming back to the table.

Tampa Bay roots

Community before ego

We believe hospitality means feeding people well, honoring those who serve, and giving back whenever we can.
