Jimbo's is a great local BBQ place

by jperigo

Great BBQ at a great price. The sauce is absolutely amazing, and the portions are large. If you go, you have to try the ribs, baked beans and slaw.

Did I mention the sauce is amazing? You can put it on anything and I often do. It's served warm and brought to your table fresh, unlike other BBQ places with luke warm bottles that have been sitting at your table for days or weeks...

The hush puppies here are outstanding. I put the bbq sauce on them too. :)

The restaurant could look nicer, but I could care less with bbq this good.

You won't be disappointed with Jimbo's.

• Pros: Taste, Value

The best BBQ in South Tampa

by tesmerjg

If you find yourself hungry for BBQ in South Tampa, there aren't many options. You could go to Fred Flemings, Kojacks, or a chain that may have an accidental BBQ item on the menu. Given the selection, Jimbo's is a real find! They have a smoker on site (and will even smoke your own meat for you, just ask!) and the food is always top notch. The ribs are fantastic, the chopped pork sandwich is excellent, the sauce is the perfect mix of spice and flavor. While they don't offer a brisket sandiwch, ask for the sliced beef sandwich "chopped." It's the closest to Texas BBQ around. Don't leave without ordering a dozen hush puppies! If you're interested in something different, try them for breakfast on a weekend.

• Pros: great food, quick service, free pickles
• Cons: very busy at lunch

Best BBQ in FL or TN!!

by emacy

All I can say is...AMAZING! I have been going here for the past 5 years and I still can't get enough! It tops any other BBQ I ever tasted in TN (and I tried 'em all!) Love the thick-cut pickles to munch on while you wait! Try the pulled pork or ribs and creamy potato salad! The best part, though, is the addicting sauce which is served warm at your table. Yummy!

• Pros: Short wait for food, Pretty inexpensive
