The food was sub par for the price. I wanted to try a couple different meats and asked for half and half on the pulled pork and pulled chicken on their nachos my friend did as well on her taco salad. They didn't want to do it so we got our Meat on the side and split it ourselves. I had to stack all the dishes and put them off to the side for the waitress to clear the dishes. Our appetizers were over fried hard as rocks. It was just altogether bad food. I will never go there again

Drove over an hour to come get some Jimmy Bears delicious bbq. We got the sampler was way more than enough for 2 people. Atmosphere was nice and calm.

Awesome venue and great hospitality from Vinny and the entire Jimmy Bears BBQ/Porky's team. We had a corporate outing there and the team loved it! Myke Herlihy and Kevin White killed it on stage!! The food was awesome....so many great options....can't wait to be back to try more of them!

My friends and I were at a festival over the weekend so take this however you want but the food was disgusting. The pulled brisket sandwich looked like pulled pork and was very very wet. Almost like pot roast. The loaded smoked fries were half way decent, but the meat on that was flavorless and they added some type of seasoning on top. I guess that's where the flavor was supposed to come from. And then the Mac and cheese was the worst part. Tasted milky with seasoning on top. I don't think they know how to season there food. It's so hard to find good barbecue here and florida. But it's even worse when you pay almost $50 for food at a festival. I went to them because my friends said their food was good. I almost cussed my friends out for hyping up this food. Maybe they had them at their restaurant idk. But if they are serving this at a festival I'm scared of their restaurant.

First time in ladlst night and was not disappointed. Great service, awesome food and a full bar. We had the fried okra, brisket sandwich and pulled chicken sandwich, all were really good. For sides we had tater tot casserole, corn casserole and baked beans; they did not disappoint. We will be back. Peyton at the bar was fantastic!!!

Boy has this place gone down hill. Used to go here all the time for the past 12 years from when they were in downtown and then the new location. Since day 1 I have never got anything other than burnt ends. Moved about an hour away and was in town today so I wanted to stop. Of course got my burnt ends and oh my what a disappointment. They tasted like they were definitely reheated and from a couple of days ago. Wasn’t even the same meat and texture that it had been for the past 10+ years I had been going. It was just horrible & nasty. My husband had the pulled pork and it had no flavor whatsoever. Jimmy bears used to be a staple with great food now it’s just awful.

This place has gone way down hill. It was my favorite bbq place ever when it was downtown. After the move we have never had a meal even half as good. Smoked Mac n cheese was still good but brisket, pulled pork, corn casserole were all very poor quality. The hawiian rolls even had an odor of mold. There was no mold on them but they must have been in a bag with moldy ones. And the last driver for the bad review. Our silverware came in a bag and someone had crushed their chewed bubble gum inside the bag. We returned it to the waitress and she apologized but we should have just left at that point. The meal didn’t make it better in any way. I’m not sure we will ever return after this last visit.
The meat was burned, hard and horrible. Never again

This place is set up more as a show than a restaurant. The server was very attentive. Brisket was cold, atmosphere was even colder as a restaurant.
