We heard about this place being one of the oldest BBQ places in the area. We went ahead and split a three meat dinner (Ribs, pulled pork and smoked sausage w/coleslaw, fries, and the hush puppies). The wife loved the sausage, I enjoyed the pulled pork. The ribs were good, a bit on the dry side, though. The fries were good and crispy, but the hush puppies are kind of bland and dry. The staff was very friendly too. Overall, if you haven't been, I say give it a shot. It was more of a one and done for us.
Excellent BBQ that has been a local favorite for decades. The freshly made pickles (not store bought in a jar) and available upon request are simply delicious. They have fresh brewed tea sweet or unsweetened. They also offer a delicious thick milkshake. The hush puppies are flavorful with a nice crunchy outside moist center. Fried okra are really good. The BBQ sauce is a mild vinegar base that really adds a nice taste to the already delicious meat options. My favorite choice has been the chopped pork sandwich platter. There are no wrong choices at JIMBO'S BBQ *our family tradition for decades*
In my never-ending search for decent BBQ in Florida, I think I may have found a pretty good candidate. Excellent meat and their sauce was amazing. Some of the tastiest fries I've had in years. We will dine here again.
Two meat plate with chopped pork, ham, potato salad, Mac n cheese, and hush puppies delivered through UberEats. I thought both meats were pretty good but not a huge fan of any of the sides. Also tried a slice of apple pie and didn’t hate it.
Wonderful BBQ and so cool you get pickles as table 😋 munchies. Most places slap bread on the table to munch on. The pickles, which was a cool change up.
Our server was awesome she let us conduct our business and was very attentive to our needs. We didn't have to ask her for anything she was already on top of it.
The food was great. I had fried okra, onion rings, and a salad while my business partner had a beef BBQ, and it smelled amazing 👏
The prices of the food was actually shocking that it was so reasonable, especially since inflation has shut down many small restaurants.
This was a very affordable BBQ and was well worth the 1hr drive it took for us to get there. We will be coming back again.
This place is a tampa classic!
I was first brought here for a breakfast special years ago.
It’s nice knowing they have a full breakfast and dinner menu! Totally different offerings and very thorough.
Entire menu is delicious and fresh.
Bbq at it’s finest!
Also- somewhat cheap!
Let me start by saying my ratings are based on what I like in low and slow, American style BBQ which is a good strong smoke flavour, tender, juicy and a nice added flavour from a rub or sauce.
Service we great so 5 stars there. The place itself was clean and had decent atmosphere.
I chose the three meat combo and had, chicken, beef, and ribs.
I note they don't serve brisket which was a disappointment.
The chicken was very nice, the beef being sirloin was dry to my liking, compared to some fatty end brisket. And the ribs were nice but nothing jumped out about them.
They had one sauce available which was nice on the chicken and would be great on pulled pork.
Summary, fine place to go for a reasonable BBQ experience bit it's not quite a full on Texas style BBQ experience.
We had Jacob as a waiter and he was phenomenal. The food came out fast and hot! The ribs were super tender and the fries were superb. Then to top it off, that sweet tea and Lord those hush puppies!
Had a very nice time here! The brisket was hot, smoky and sweet, with all the portions being huge and plentiful! Firstly, they bring out a dish of sliced dill pickles- huge thumbs up there! Great hush puppies, baked beans and cole slaw! You'll be quite full once you leave, if you can leave...
