    2 meat plate (ribs & pork) with mac n cheese and cole slaw.
    Steven B.

    First time here, good BBQ. Tried the ribs and the pork, tasty, a little dry. The mac n cheese was excellent. Cole slaw was good. I would come back. Pretty good overall.

    Ribs Dinner
    Vivian N.

    Mini Pecan Pie - RUN get it !!! A must ... Absolutely delicious.. the ribs were meaty / fall off the bone perfect. Dine in experience was exceptional. I came in during lunchtime on a Friday around 1pm & everything tastes delicious. Definitely coming back for some more ribs togo. My daughter loves the seasoning on the fries.

    Find this, find happiness.

    A Tampa icon. An iconic looking building that says BBQ. Sooty chimney, stacks of oak and a fire pit emitting oaky smoke. It felt really good to return to Jazzy's. It's been way too long. Living an hour away, we don't get the chance to hang out in the area much. This weekend found me within slurping distance, so I made sure to land there for dinner. (Close to the airport and water. Well, Waters Ave) LOL It seems like I'm ALWAYS craving ribs. Anytime I smell oaky smoke, I'm thinking ribs. Anytime I smell BBQ sauce, I'm thinking ribs. Anytime I smell anything BBQ, I'm thinking RIBS! That's how I roll. Naturally then, I ordered RIBS. I got the Large Rib plate. Of course. I chose Potato Salad and BBQ Beans as my two sides. The sides were on point and what I expected. Nothing makes your mouth water more than having a stack o' meaty, juicy ribs placed in front of you. I'm fighting that mouthwatering feeling right now! Dang. Service is friendly and the food comes out fast! Ohhhh man! Did those ribs look good! Plenty of them. Plenty of meat ON them. With a nice crispy bark on the outside. Yessss! I happen to intensely love the BBQ sauce. The owner, Johnny Ray came up with the recipe years ago, in a God given dream. (As I found out later that night) That sauce is some mighty Heavenly stuff. The ribs make it so easy to sop up that sauce. And slurp slurp slurp away at all the flavors exploding around you. Ain't no dainty way to eat ribs. Pick 'em up. Two hands. Go for it. Ain't no way you wanna waste any of that perfectly cooked meat, either. Sop 'em in that awesome sauce and gobble 'em up. I am SOOOOO glad I got the chance to stop in and rib out. I am also VERY glad there was another icon in it, for me. I finally met Mister Johnny Ray Smith. He was sorting through the oak firewood out back as I was leaving. I was compelled to walk over and chat with him. Almost an hour later, we parted ways. I was full. Of incredible food and a good feeling from a new friend.

    Place was empty, but several groups came in as we were ordering. The bbq sauce is the best in any place I ever had. Portions were a bit on the light side IMHO. I had the rib basket. Very good. Awesome coleslaw and beans.

    Best of Tampa 2022 by Good Morning America
    Jamie J.

    Oh a busy road in Tampa, a small little bbq restaurant called Jazzy's sits. It was rated Tampa's best bbq by Good Morning America in 2022. Customer service was great. Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Prices are very affordable. We got the king of kings, which is 5 meats and 2 sides. We upgraded our sides so there was a bit of an upcharge. For 2 drinks, our food and tip, 2 of us ate for under $45. Plus we have a lot left to take home. Our 5 meats were chicken, pork ribs, Turkey, pulled pork, and sausage. My husband and I didn't care for the sausage. I didn't like the flavor or the crunchy casing. The chicken was dry as was the Turkey. The ribs and pulled pork were both tender and good. Our greens were eh and the fries were just fries. Give Jazzy's a try. You might like it. I'd go back to try other things.

    Regular rib dinner
    Rhonda F.

    Very rustic in appearance. Apparently, Jazzy was voted 'Best Barbeque' in Tampa. I don't know if it's the best, but it beats some other places I've tried. Got the small/regular rib dinner which includes three bones and your choice of 2 sides. Side choices are the usual, collards, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, Mac&cheese. I chose greens and Mac. Greens were a little bland but the mac & cheese was good enough to wanna slap Jazzy's mama! You get a choice of sauce, hot or mild. I went mild and it really was. The girl at the counter was not very welcoming. But it took no time for the good to come out. And everything was hot...did I mention how good the mac & cheese was?

    I got the 3 meat: brisket, sausage, and pulled pork, with Mac 'n cheese and collard greens, with garlic bread! Fantastic!
    John S.

    The food was great! The staff was very friendly, restaurant was nice and clean, easy to get to, parking is really good. First time there, and I'll be visiting again soon. Thanks again for a wonderful experience!

    Coleslaw and Mac and cheese and sauces.
    Kilsis J.

    We came a bit before noon on a Saturday and it was pretty empty which was good for us. We ordered and cashier was nice. The food came out pretty fast and it was good. We got the kings of kings, all 5 meats and sides mac and cheese. The ribs fell of the bones and were very tasty. The sausage was bit of spicy but so delicious, if I had to say my favorite was the sausage and im not really a sausage kind of person. Liked the mac and cheese and the coleslaw were also delicious and again I don't like coleslaw but this one is delicious. I was not impressed with their sauces. It was pretty quiet and music playing which nice way to have lunch. They have parking lot so no need to worry about parking. You should definitely check this place out.

    Rib dinner   with fries  and macaroni and cheese ,  roll , collard greens
    Samuel B.

    The food was overall delicious . Good portions. I would suggest that the owners expand their selection of BBQ sauces. I recommend a sweet sauce, and a mustard based sauce to add to their selection. Good sauce makes the BBQ. It's all about the sauce!

    Smoked sausage

    This is my second time visiting Jazzy's while on vacation. This time I preordered some sausage to take Back to Indianapolis for friends and family. I ordered 10 lbs. What I received was maybe 7 lbs. They charged me for "pre cooked" weight. I even called them and they said they smoked 2 x 5 lb packages for me. That's not how you sell bbq. I even called a friend who caters bbq and he said he sells his meats "post cooked" weight. So if you order 5 lbs of brisket, you get 5 lbs of brisket. Every other bbq joint I've been to across the united states sells their meats post cooked weight. Not Jazzy's. Even though the sausage is off the hook, getting ripped off for over $60 worth of meat that I never received is truly saddening and quite frankly disappointing. Oh well. Live and learn.

    Family meals! Meat by Pound! Large Pies must be preordered!

My husband also really liked the wings, he devoured those pretty quick. Service was friendly and quick, and it was a chill place to be on the night before new years. I'd definitely go again if we lived in the area.

    I've been coming here consistently since July 2023, usually 4 to 6 days a week every single week,…read moreso this place has genuinely been a huge part of my routine and community. My Google review from a year ago gave this place five stars because it truly felt like an amazing space built around dogs, community, and responsible ownership. Looking back at that review now honestly makes the decline even more disappointing, because even just a year ago this place felt completely different in the best way. This place is supposed to be a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs and the people who love them. For many members, our dogs are family, and that's why the recent direction of the business has become genuinely heartbreaking and honestly alarming to watch. A growing number of members are becoming deeply uncomfortable with the decision to repeatedly host large rave-style events at a facility specifically designed for dogs. After previous events, there were already serious concerns about the condition of the property afterward, even after professional cleaning crews had supposedly finished. Members and staff still found debris throughout the space and parking lot and many people are now questioning whether any environment used for late-night parties like this can realistically ever be cleaned well enough to guarantee dogs are safe there afterward. Dogs spend their entire time at this facility with their noses on the ground, sniffing turf, licking surfaces, and putting things in their mouths. That is exactly what dogs do. The idea that dangerous substances, residue, pills, or other hazardous materials could potentially be missed during cleanup is terrifying for pet owners. One mistake could have DEVASTATING consequences for someone's dog. The best comparison I can make is this: imagine if a daycare hosted large rave parties at night and then told parents the next morning that everything had been cleaned and was safe again. Most parents would never feel comfortable with that. That is exactly how many dog owners are starting to feel here. What made this weekend especially upsetting was learning that the business was supposed to reopen after the latest event, only for members to then receive notice that the facility would remain closed due to cleanup issues, with uncertainty about reopening even the next day. That only reinforced concerns that these events are creating problems far beyond a normal private party. At the same time, members continue paying premium annual fees while receiving reduced operating hours, less access, ongoing inventory problems at the bar, and repeated closures tied to outside events. Many people joined because this was marketed as a community-centered space focused on dogs, safety and responsible ownership. Lately, it feels like those priorities are no longer coming first. I know several members who are already questioning whether they will renew their memberships because trust in the safety and direction of the business is starting to disappear.
