Then pick one of several sauces to drizzle on top! So yummy! They have the best sweet tea and even lemonades. There is a box for book exchanges and a fun big chair to sit in for a photo op! Plenty of picnic tables to sit at. The staff is friendly and down home. Why not eat where the locals do?!

I used to frequent the previous BBQ restaurant that was in this spot so decided to try the new…read morerestaurant out. This is a family owned business and the owners were very nice. The restaurant has a clean look with pictures of the food on the wall. All of the food is cooked fresh daily. I was impressed by the menu options and definitely want to try everything on the menu. I ordered the brisket which was delicious. The meat had a nice flavor and was tender. They have 3 barbecue sauce options: Sweet Chili, Jerk Barbecue and Carolina Gold. I loved the Carolina Gold on my brisket. The green beans were also fresh with a good flavor and the truffle Mac and cheese was delicious. The prices were fair. I definitely will be back to try some other items and recommend this restaurant.

Again, there is absolutely nothing fancy v about Jimmy Jo"s, but really, there is nothing fancy about barbecue. It is a food that was born out of necessity and elevated to such a culinary wonder out of love. This is a good spot to grab some barbecue and enjoy.

There was only one person…read moreworking (that I could see) when I arrived 2 hours before closing but I ordered ahead and had no wait. The ribs and brisket were tender, well seasoned and had a nice smoky flavor. The greens were pretty good with a slightly tart vinegary bite. None of my family members were fans of the Mac and cheese but the baked beans were pretty good- they were VERY sweet but still a good pairing with the tart greens, smoky meat and Texas toast. Overall I was grateful to find a nice meal within 10 minutes from my house that was well-portioned and not overpriced.

I have to agree with the majority of the ratings already posted. BBQ is tough, you have to have a…read morepassion for it to get it right, and this food was wrong. If I'm paying $80 for my family to eat I expect to walk out satisfied, and we were not. Everything was just sooooo bland; not smoke, no bark, no rub. And the sauces...like a pineapple based wierdness that none of us could use, though the food desperately needed it. I feel bad because I'd rather tell the manager when there was a problem, but it's tough to complain about tasteless food. Hopefully it was just an off day, but I won't ever know because I'm sure this was our one and only time.

Horrible... I''m not going back to this one. The one in Riverview is a lot better. My chopped…read morebrisket sandwich was flavorless and cold when received. My collard greens... they're not chopped... like literally full leafed greens with this strange liquid in it. I think I was given day old food, not good given the reputation of this business. It wasn't worth my time going back to exchange the food. One and done with this place. I should've read the reviews before going. It was the sign "Home of the $5 BBQ sandwich" that drew me in.

If you want another choice outside of the supermarkets for buying meats and seafood, check out…read moreHeights Meat Market. We checked out the location in Valrico and were pleasantly surprised. The store did not feel overwhelming (I thought it would be) , was brightly lit, clean, and neatly sorted. The two gentleman who assisted us gave us a rundown of what was available in the freezers, how pre-ordering and special orders work, and what deals were currently running. There were so many choices to choose from: wagyu, elk, steak, exotic meats, pork, chicken (antibiotic and hormone free), wild caught seafood. We will be buying our meats from here going forward. Just wish they had organic chicken, but nowadays we don't even know if organic chicken in the grocery stores is even truly organic. You can also order online and even schedule for delivery. Hands down would definitely recommend anyone to check out their locations, especially the Valrico one. They were very welcoming and helpful in our selections. You may also find much better deals, more variety, and better quality at your local meat market than at a grocery store.
