Jimmy's Backyard BBQ

After years of driving past Jimmy's, my wife and I finally got to stop here to try their barbecue. The place is clean and the person who served us was very pleasant, but we were greatly disappointed to discover the food didn't leave us with a good first impression.We ordered one pulled pork sandwich and one brisket sandwich with sides of their parsley potatoes, mac-and-cheese, green beans and cole slaw.The brisket was very dry and chewy, so much so that I had to drown it in sauce in order to make it palatable (their hot sauce is pretty good). The pulled pork was kind of bland and neither sandwich had that smoky barbecue flavor we had hoped for.Side portions were served in shallow cups and were a bit stingy for $3.00 each. The parsley potatoes were very bland and in small cubes, almost like hash browns. Green beans were soggy and like canned beans--no bacon, no buttery flavor or seasonings. Mac-and-cheese was okay, even as the server scraped the bottom of the stainless tray to get what obviously was not fresh--in fact, all of the food we got seemed to be the late afternoon, bottom-of-the-tray food...and it was 4:30 in the afternoon, early dinner time. The cole slaw was pretty good and definitely a nice surprise after so much of the rest of the food was so blah.It really hurts to write a negative review of a local business because my wife and I like to support them instead of going to big chain stores and restaurants. We have been trying foods from local businesses as potential caterers for our son's upcoming party, but we regret this will be one place we can't recommend to him.

The ribs were amazing, we should've ordered more. The sides were a little smaller than we thought they would be but we had enough food to feed the family but will definitely eat from here again but order way more ribs!!!

Boy have we been missing out! I've lived in the Falls since 2005 and around the corner from Jimmy's since 2025. Today, I was hangry so hubby stopped here so we could finally try them. I got the half order of bbq nachos and he got the bbq wrap. We split both and am I glad we did. Sooo delicious. The sauce was amazing and even though I'm not a huge fan of pulled pork, theirs is delicious. I overheard them discussing the corn muffins so o tried one. I may have to order by the dozen. On second thought, I'd better not because I know I wouldn't share. About those nachos. They make their own chips! I loved them. I'm so used to boring bagged chips but these were fresh and yummy. We will for sure be coming back here and probably on a regular basis. Make sure not to pass this place up if you're in the mood for good food! I can hardly wait to try more!

Listen up people... when you find a barbecue place with tables made from lumber in small town collocated with a laundromat you walk in and ask for one of everything and then you stay a while and enjoy every bite. Every single one. The brisket is my fav but the sausage and ribs rock too. The sides are delish especially the slaw and potato salad but the one thing that will absolutely crush you are the burritos... I have a ton of friends that come from far away and our only rule is no chain restaurants. Local restaurants are the requirement, neighborhood joints is the real goal. Jimmy's is one they ask to go back to over and over again! Get there as fast as you can throw a load of laundry in while you enjoy the food!

Un. Be. Lievable! Let me first say that I called them up without much notice because I wanted to do something impromptu nice for my staff who has been busting their tails. Jason was super helpful and gave me A1 customer service explaining what they could do for my 20 person order, all while being in the middle of lunchtime rush. Dude was great!They had the order ready for pickup in an amazingly short amount of time. We ordered the ribs, chicken wings, pulled pork and Mac n Cheese. Honestly, this ranks up with some of the best BBQ I've had. The flagship sauce is zesty and sweet savory with a good smokiness. I'd put it on anything! And to top it off, they had freshly made slider rolls straight out of the oven! We washed it down with a couple gallons of sweet tea and freshly squeezed lemonade. Just an awesome experience and the best BBQ in the Cuyahoga Falls area. We will definitely be back for more. Thanks again to Jason and crew! You took care of my crew with class!

I ordered the chicken slider, green beans and fries. It was absolutely delicious. Great customer service also!

Food was acceptable,fry's were greasy sandwich was good.Quick service, would go back when I.desired barbecue.,

Stopped by while in visiting area. Very friendly greeting, tried the baby back ribs, slaw, and potato salad with tea/lemonade. Ribs were great, very tender. Little different than from than what I get from South but it was good. Very clean restaurant and bottom line glad I stopped by and tried!

tried this place a few weeks ago, and decided on a repeat. Wow, the first try wasn't a fluke. I tried the brisket chili with a bbq brisket sandwich. The very best ever. I can't say enough about my meal. the service was first class as was the time involved. the portion size was so generous that I have enough for a second meal. The flavor was incredible and I am a bbq junky! I plan on making many more trips. the place has a family friendly vibe with plenty of seating, the location is convenient and I am now a regular. I will be working my way through the menu, but oh..that brisket chili!!!!!!you won't be sorry

I am giving 3 stars because the customer service is great! First let me say I've driven past this place for 5 yrs because Big Eue's is my go to. But I was in the neighborhood and stopped by because I didn't feel like driving all the way to big eue's which isn't far at all but I had to get home ...anyhoo I have to say the service is A+...5 star. Ambiance is great. Clean and inviting. The food.... Ehh. I got brisket. I always get brisket when I get bbq if I'm not getting ribs. While the taste of it was good...the brisket was sooo dry and chewy. My jaws were tired of chewing. I've never had brisket that wasn't juicy and melt in your mouth pretty much. Why was it dry? I was so disappointed . The coleslaw was good so was the sauce but the fries tasted like the grease. Not like potatoes. Idk if they serve any type of seafood or not but the fries tasted like they'd been fried in fish or shrimp grease. And their texture was just weird I can't explain it. The fishy taste was so off putting I just tossed the fries. Please make sure u are cooking with fresh oil when making fries. Maybe they were just having an "off day" I don't know. I loved the customer service and the prices aren't bad but I will stick with Big Eue's.
