The interior of the restaurant was definitely bigger than I thought it would be, with plenty of seating for you to enjoy your food in. The staff was friendly but not all too helpful with reccomendations on portion sizes. I ended up ordering 1/4 pound of brisket and a side of baked beans. It came 2 slices of texas toast. I did like the fact that you had a choice of how your food was prepared, be it sliced or chunks and fatty or lean. The brisket was cooked perfectly and the sauces definitely added to the overall flavor. I was definitely happy with the size of the baked beans side amd ended up finishing the leftover I had of this later that night! It was a nice place to eat at and quick ticket time is always appreciated!

Man, I wish I could give this spot a better review because I loved the feel of the old-school 'que…read moreplace and the service was terrific...but the food was rather bland and tasteless and many of our dishes went without finishing them. I ordered a spare rib plate with sides of fries and mac-n-cheese. The dish also came with a piece of garlic bread. To start, the ribs were a bit tough and hardly had any smoke or bark flavors. I love a rib that requires some "chew" to get them off the bone, but the toughness mentioned was not of that variety. Bottled sauces (on the tables) were alright, but nothing special. I will say the seasoned fries and gooey mac-n-cheese were both good. Lastly, the garlic bread had very little seasoning on it, more like a dry piece of toast really. Had heard such good things, but this visit really disappointed me and my (extended) family who also had similar feelings about the meals they had chosen.

The ribs are tender with a perfectly subtle smoky flavor that doesn't overpower the meat. Their collard greens are seasoned beautifully and balance out the sweetness of the cornbread. The egg rolls are crispy on the outside, loaded on the inside, and pair perfectly with the sweet dipping sauce. Overall, a great mix of flavor, texture, and soul. Also, make sure you check out their weekly specials on social media like "All-You-Can-Eat" Ribs on Fridays!

However when I added their bbq sauce, it was amazing. The server we had was nice and very attentive. I asked for recommendations on sides and she did not fail me. The Mac n cheese ... *Chefs kiss*; also the green beans were flavorful. The inside was decorated nicely. Lots of funny signage and figurines. 10/10 recommend Jimbos in Lakeland

JIMBO'S for the WIN!…read more Yep! You might have noticed a few reviewers mention they've been going to Jimbo's since the 70's. A place been around that long must be doing something right! I'm tempted to end my review right here and say "Nuff said!" But I won't. I'm in that Class of 70's myself. My very first visit was in 1976! Life seemed to move a lot slower back then. Funny, because I moved a LOT FASTER in those days. Faster footsteps for sure. And faster driving as I worked on the ambulance services. I took that driving to the streets, in a 'safe' way. Me and my sweet dream car '74 Corvette. Oh man, those were the days! It'd been a while since I drove any vehicle into the Jimbo's parking lot. But on this most recent visit, I saw a faint vision of my young self whipping in, parking, fixing my windblown hair and admiring my Vette as I walked towards Jimbo's front door. Stepping inside, I remembered. I remembered that swirling smoky oak aroma. I remembered that old school Bar-B-Q atmosphere. I remembered those ribs. THOSE AMAZING fall-off-the-bone RIBS. I remembered that apple pie. Warm cider sauce running down a mound of vanilla ice cream. SO, instead of just saying "Nuff said!", I am VERY HAPPY to report that on THIS day, my TIME MACHINE actually WORKED! I was back! Not ONE thing about the mystique of Jimbo's has changed. NOT EVEN the surprise bathroom door. LOL (SEE VIDEO) Oh sure, the prices have changed a bit. BUT NOT TOO BAD! I was very pleasantly surprised to see the price of my 5 RIB PLATTER was just $16.99! That includes two sides. I got fries and baked beans. AND they throw in a few of their dee-lectable hush puppies. Man, are those ever good! Perfect crunch outside, chewy good inside. Yummmm. The only part about this visit that made me sad? Uh, that I've missed this great food for WAY TOO LONG! I only live an hour away now. I WILL be making a Jimbo's trek a lot more often. Thanks for the memories.

The daily specials are reasonably priced, but the meals are a bit on the pricy side. The Brisket meal included 2 small slices of meat and your choice of two sides and either toast or cornbread. The cornbread was really a unique cornbread pancake. The beans were really sweet and flavorful. The Brisket was well seasoned with a nice dry rub and smoked. Three Barbie-Q sauces, regular, tangy, and spicy. Banana Pudding was made fresh and was yummy. The ambiance was no frills, order at counter, pay, sit at and wait. The wait was a bit long, and for no reason I could understand, as there was only one other table and a person picking up takeout. The staff were nice.

I ordered the Chicken and Waffles and my boyfriend ordered the Wings and Fries. The wings and the fries were very yummy, but my waffle came out very cold. I am assuming they were waiting for the chicken to finish which cause the waffle to cool down while waiting. Despite the temperature, our meals tasted very fresh and everything was properly seasoned. I will definitely try to come back when they do their Sunday brunch next month!

Everything was super flavorful, juicy (yeah, that "moist" kind of good), and cooked perfectly. My dad's super picky and still hasn't stopped talking about how good his wings were hours later.

The owners were genuinely kind and welcoming, and you can tell they put real love into the food. They started as a food truck and haven't been open long, but they're already putting out restaurant-quality comfort food with heart and soul. Very peaceful beautiful paintings within too.
