We visited Jimbo’s BBQ at 4103 W Kennedy Blvd<\/a> on 11 July 2009. Jimbos has a web site at http:\/\/www.jimbosbarbq.com\/<\/a>. This was our first visit to Jimbo’s. We’ve had several recommendations that this is a great place for breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-front\"<\/p>\n

This was a special Tampa Bay Breakfast as we had guests. Marek’s friend Daniel and his dad Teddy joined us!<\/p>\n

Jimbo’s is actually a BBQ joint and has a great reputation around town. Walk in the place and you can tell — you’re in for BBQ. And even for breakfast it’s obviously a popular place. Several folks were greeted by name when they came in, which is a very good sign!<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-inside\"<\/p>\n

Aside from it being a BBQ shack, there’s no strange claim to fame for Jimbo’s. Just a nice place with good people. There is a huge alligator skin on the wall, which is pretty neat. And there’s a big ole gumball machine by the door. Just the right size for getting your hand stuck in it.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-gumballs\"<\/p>\n

The menu at Jimbo’s is a bit sparse and, I felt, a little high on the price. Breakfast, while good here, is not the core competency of the kitchen, and it shows in the menu selection.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-coffee\" <\/p>\n

But the coffee was really good!<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-coffee\"<\/p>\n

We had breakfast. The pancakes were ginormous. The bacon was very nice. We didn’t have eggs, as to get eggs and bacon and pancakes together we’d have had to spend $12!<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-breakfast\"<\/p>\n

Marek didn’t really eat much, but I think he was distracted. Whenever we have TBB guests he tends to not eat well, so we won’t hold that against Jimbo’s.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-breakfast\"<\/p>\n

Even though he didn’t eat much and was sort of being loud and making a mess, he still took time out to love his dad.<\/p>\n

When we were done, Marek paid the bill.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-pays1\"<\/p>\n

Daniel went to help.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-pays2\"<\/p>\n

Marek got the change. But no pop! Oh sad day!<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-pays3\"<\/p>\n

Marek made a new friend! This is a sign of a good place, when folks take a moment to get to know you.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-friend\"<\/p>\n

When we were done, Marek and Daniel offered to drive us home.<\/p>\n

\"jimbos-marek-daniel\"<\/p>\n

Overall, this was a nice place and we had a great time. We loved having breakfast with Teddy and Daniel. The folks at Jimbo’s were very friendly and the customers were all regulars. The breakfast was really good but a bit high priced. We’re pleased to give Jimbo’s Pit Bar-BQ a Tampa Bay Breakfast rating of 3.5 pancakes.<\/p>\n
