Found this spot on the way to Columbus. $3 beers and gut filling sandwiches. Someone should bottle the smell of smoky bbq. The new standard with fries should be hot malt vinegar as found at this spot! Lots of bbq sauces- sweet and spicy, Georgia mustard, and horseradish also. Loved the sweet and spicy on my smoked prime rib. My companion enjoyed the Mac daddy (cheese on Mac and cheese with pickled jalepenos) and sweet potato chips. They have a deal with a punch card if you eat all 15 sandwiches. They have a shirt, $25 gift card, and your name on the wall. My companion started his today. Looks like we'll

I have heard from some family members that Jimmy G's BBQ is out of this world good. I took Dad out today, and he decided to have some BBQ for lunch. Dad wanted the brisket sandwich and opted for fries instead of chips, and I ordered the 2 meats plate - choosing brisket and ribs along with baked beans and mac & cheese. Last month, I was in Houston, TX, and had the good fortune of dining at a couple of pit BBQ establishments. Both of these places were off the charts busy during the middle of the day, and the smoked meats were butter knife tender. I was hoping for a similar experience locally in NW Ohio. Unfortunately, that didn't happen for me. The brisket was somewhat dry & tough. The ribs did pull away from the bone, but they also were somewhat tough, in my opinion. The mac & cheese was very good, and the baked beans were also good. I tasted Dad's fries because he couldn't eat them all, and those were very good. With that being said, Jimmy G's does a great job on their side dishes, but the smoked meats didn't have that melt in your mouth texture compared to other pit BBQ eateries I have been to.

We did not care for the food, it wasn't bad or anything like that, I just don't care for a heavy smoky flavor. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant nice and clean

The food is very good service is very excellent. The ambience is really cool. They have these hardwood tables that are clearcoated with designs on them. Driveways really easy to get into wheelchair accessible walk up to the counter order your food. Go sit down and bring it to you through your trash away in the trashcan, pretty simple

Prime rib sandwich

Found Jimmy G's on Yelp as we came through Freemont - great choice! Simple menu with all the right BBQ offerings - great sandwich options - wish we could have tried them all but we settled for the Reuben and the smoked prime rib - delicious fries and homemade chips - tasty coleslaw with vinegar based sauce instead of mayo - highly recommend Jimmy G's!!

Let me start off by saying that we have a bit of a mixed bag here…read more When we eat in, service is great, the experience is great, the food is delicious. When we order takeout via their app, it's kind of all over the place. We tend to keep it relatively simple and order their 4lb tray of chicken chunks with a couple of sides and some sauces. The first few times we did this, the chicken was super hot, fresh, and the tray was filled to the brim and well worth the money. However, subsequent visits have resulted in the chicken getting progressively cooler and lighter at pickup (while having to wait for them to complete the order, which makes no sense). Our last visit resulted in a call to the manager though. When the staff handed me the tray of chicken it felt really light, like insanely light and I mentioned it to the staff asking them specifically, "are you sure this is the right weight for this?" and they told me "the kitchen measures it" and then disappeared to the back. We took the tray straight home and threw it on our food scale after checking the calibration. With the tray itself, it came in at just under 2lbs! I called the location and spoke to the manager and indicated I was not pleased and that there's no way that weight loss from cooking should exceed 50%. The manager apologized and offered to put our name down for a free tray the next time we ordered -- however, when we attempted to take them up on the offer a few weeks later, they had no record of it. One of our family members ordered four (4) such 4lb trays for a get together not too long ago and was very disappointed to find the trays each less than half full. They had to scramble to come up with additional food as guests arrived given that they were now short on food. Sadly, we haven't been back to the location since. If it wasn't for that the steady decline in temperature and weight at pickup, we'd likely order from here on a pretty regular basis. It's a shame.

Okay, this location is the bane of my existence. We enjoy the variety of wing flavors which is why…read morewe still sometimes order here despite almost always regretting it. The core of the problem comes from the service itself. We're big fans of ordering online or via the app and always set the pickup time for 40-45 minutes from time of order. Regardless, when we show up to pick the order up, we always end up waiting an additional 20+ minutes (once time it was almost an hour). To add insult to injury, the pickup counter is often unstaffed or definitely understaffed where they disappear for easily 5-10 minutes and don't poke their heads back out. This leaves pickup customers lining up waiting to check on their orders. It doesn't help that the wait staff and/or hostess will walk past all of these people repeatedly and never say a word and very seldomly nip to the back to tell someone to come out to the desk. I don't know what the problem is at this location but they need to get it sorted out. It's been going on for years and I'm surprised that the GM doesn't catch hell for it. As for the food, it can be very hit or miss. Sometimes the wings are "fresh" other times they seem like they've been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. Saucing is definitely inconsistent with some wings (bone-in or boneless) ending up naked or with very little sauce. Fries and tots are are all over the place as well. Sometimes they are cooked just right but most times they are a big soft and kind of soggy. It's a shame they can't get it right as I've visited other locations that absolutely get the experience right and it's so much better.

Sat and waited for over 15 minutes to order. Finally called…read moreon phone to order never received my food. After 30 minutes went to find a manger and no one around I left money to cover Diet Pepsi and left. What a horrible place for customer service.
