Jimbo's Pit Bar-B-Q, open in Lakeland since 1964, is said to be one of the best barbeque places in town. It's certainly one of the oldest. From the outside, Jimbo's resembles a roadside stand or ramshackle diner. The inside's cozy with kitschy decor. The real appeal of the restaurant, however, is the food, which is delicious and inexpensive. The barbeque sauce is just the right mix of salty and sweet and the apple pie is warm and filling. The restaurant is best known for its ribs and pork sandwiches. Barbeque fans or someone in search of a homey diner will find what they're looking for at Jimbo's Pit Bar-B-Q.
