Jimbos hands up is one of the best BBQ places. I've been eating Jimbos for 57 yrs in Tampa & Lakeland!!! Food is always spot on fresh, tender & you get your money's worth.

Jimbo's for the Win! Yep! You might have noticed a few reviewers mention they've been going to Jimbo's since the 70's. A place been around that long must be doing something right! I'm tempted to end my review right here and say "Nuff said!" But I won't. I'm in that Class of 70's myself. My very first visit was in 1976! Life seemed to move a lot slower back then. Funny, because I moved a LOT FASTER in those days. Faster footsteps for sure. And faster driving as I worked on the ambulance services. I took that driving to the streets, in a 'safe' way. Me and my sweet dream car '74 Corvette. Oh man, those were the days! It'd been a while since I drove any vehicle into the Jimbo's parking lot. But on this most recent visit, I saw a faint vision of myself whipping in, parking, fixing my windblown hair and admiring my Vette as I walked towards Jimbo's front door. Stepping inside, I remembered. I remembered that swirling smoky oak aroma. I remembered that old school Bar-B-Q atmosphere. I remembered those ribs. THOSE AMAZING fall-off-the-bone RIBS. I remembered that apple pie. Warm cider sauce running down a mound of vanilla ice cream. SO, instead of just saying "Nuff said!", I am VERY

Hands down the best food. Ribs were great, but the star of the show was the macaroni and cheese. Even the green beans were phenomenal. I love the atmosphere and the service was spot on. Great people and even better food.

Wow....now that's what I'm talking about! This is old school Florida BBQ at its finest....felt like like I stepped back in time...but in a good way. Chopped pork sandwich was great...very finely chopped and sauced perfectly. Free pickles were a great touch.....I also liked the potato salad a lot and hush puppies. Homemade apple pie with ice cream was excellent. Service was great and it was clean (don't let the old building scare you). The only thing i didn't care for... and it's just a personal taste was the cole slaw which was mustard based. The extra bottle of BBQ sauce has a good flavor, just very thin consistency....but again it tasted good. Nice big cups of soda with free refills too. You can see why this business has been around since 1964. Cant wait to come back!
