Jimbo's Pit Bar B-Q

Palma Ceia · Tampa · $

Also listed in: Tampa BBQ Over 50 Tampa

Jimbo's has been smoking pork and ribs on West Kennedy Boulevard since 1970, and its own site claims the title without hedging: the best barbecue in southern Florida since 1970. It is a family-owned and operated business and describes itself as decades of delectable barbecue rather than anything more fashionable. That's So Tampa has written about it as a pit that has been going for over fifty years.
