Potato salad was good as well! I personally think the baked beans are too sweet. I would definitely give Ronnie Ron's BBQ a try soon! But be prepared to wait. I was 5th in line at 12pm and didn't get food until 12:45.

These are some of the most amazing ribs I have had. Tender but still firm, that "sweet spot" of texture, moisture, flavor, and bite.

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 had the pulled pork and sausage with Mac and cheese and baked beans. Very good. I'm not sure the beans or Mac was homemade, but everything was still good nonetheless. They had some tables outside under a cover with some fans, but everything is served To-go. Stop by Smokin joes for some good BBQ!

They take pride in making thier food from scratch. Located right of 301 hwy. They also do catering services too for any events.

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.

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.

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.
