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...

My Friends and I in South Tampa been eating breakfast here for years! The food is really good. The Breakfast here is awesome! The omelette is perfect and the home-fries amazing!

BBQ is not bad but the staff is friendly and helpful. The bibs were cooked just right and had a nice flavor. Good coleslaw and the hush puppies were like what grandma would make. I am not a big fan of smoked sirloin so I can evaluate it properly but I would avoid the sausage. Recommended.

Had a delicious lunch with my wife. Ribs, onion rings and couple beers. Sandy was very polite and friendly waitress. Clean bathrooms, lots of parking spot and awseome interior:) Highly recommend this place at reasonable price.

Excellent breakfast! Everything was cooked to perfection. I had the Breakfast special with ham, eggs, cheese grits, and biscuit. Highly recommend for quick, inexpensive, and delicious breakfast. Would love to return and try the cue!

The BBQ here was great. The coleslaw had a great tang to it, the hushpuppies were slightly overdone but still good

Jimbo's is a Tampa institution. Generation after generation has loved this place, the food is excellent. The hush puppies are always simple and delicious, chopped or sliced BBQ pork is tender and juicy (the sauce is the best we've found in town). Passing through? They have a drive-thru too! Seriously, ENJOY!

Food is good! It's not the bang that I want in bbq. The people are amazing, atmosphere is great! I would most likely frequent this place if I lived here. I don't agree with the quality or quantity of food versus pricing. If you love bbq but have a time with it, stomach wise. Definitely give this place a try! I feel like it is definitely easier on the gut than most bbq!

I ordered ribs, baked beans, and fried okra. The ribs were very good and the fried okra tasted incredibly fresh! I have never had hush puppies and was surprised they were so good! We ordered onion rings as well and they were so good I didn't get a chance to take a picture. The customer service was very friendly as well.

This restaurant surprised us. The food was great and the service was wonderful. It is a quaint restaurant with fun but random decor. I loved the BBQ sauce and especially loved the potato salad (not normally a fan of potato salad). It is a seat yourself and go pay up at the front dining experience. The place was filled by locals that love their BBQ.
