We stopped here for dinner while visiting from out of town. They had a sign on the door stating they were short staffed but we didn’t mind because they bbq smelled delicious. Good thing we decided to stay and eat because this was the best bbq I’ve ever had. We didn’t have to wait too long and the waitress we had was very sweet. If we are ever back in town we will definitely be stopping in again.
My husband had the ribs with slaw and fries. I had the smoked chicken, slaw, and fries. The restaurant is a little rough around the edges, but the waitstaff was very friendly and hard-working. The meats were great, and I'm not a huge smoked meat person. They brought 3 different bbq sauces to the table and these were delicious.The fries were good, too, but I saw the onion rings and wish I would have ordered those. The coleslaw was very bland.
We were staying very close to JimBob’s and we picked it on a whim, but thought the food was great (corn nuggets! Burnt ends! NYStrip!), the apple pie sauce was delightful, our hostess and waitress were charming, and the price was extremely reasonable. I would absolutely go back and try the fried fish and some of the pork bbq as well.
