Jazzy's BBQ

First time here, good BBQ. Tried the ribs and the pork, tasty, a little dry. The mac n cheese was excellent. Cole slaw was good. I would come back. Pretty good overall.

Mini Pecan Pie - RUN get it !!! A must ... Absolutely delicious.. the ribs were meaty / fall off the bone perfect. Dine in experience was exceptional. I came in during lunchtime on a Friday around 1pm & everything tastes delicious. Definitely coming back for some more ribs togo. My daughter loves the seasoning on the fries.

A Tampa icon.An iconic looking building that says BBQ. Sooty chimney, stacks of oak and a fire pit emitting oaky smoke. It felt really good to return to Jazzy's. It's been way too long.Living an hour away, we don't get the chance to hang out in the area much. This weekend found me within slurping distance, so I made sure to land there for dinner. (Close to the airport and water. Well, Waters Ave) LOLIt seems like I'm ALWAYS craving ribs. Anytime I smell oaky smoke, I'm thinking ribs. Anytime I smell BBQ sauce, I'm thinking ribs.Anytime I smell anything BBQ, I'm thinking RIBS!That's how I roll. Naturally then, I ordered RIBS. I got the Large Rib plate. Of course.I chose Potato Salad and BBQ Beans as my two sides. The sides were on point and what I expected. Nothing makes your mouth water more than having a stack o' meaty, juicy ribs placed in front of you.I'm fighting that mouthwatering feeling right now! Dang. Service is friendly and the food comes out fast!Ohhhh man! Did those ribs look good!Plenty of them. Plenty of meat ON them. With a nice crispy bark on the outside. Yessss!I happen to intensely love the BBQ sauce. The owner, Johnny Ray came up with the recipe years ago, in a God given dream. (As I found out later that night)That sauce is some mighty Heavenly stuff. The ribs make it so easy to sop up that sauce. And slurp slurp slurp away at all the flavors exploding around you. Ain't no dainty way to eat ribs. Pick 'em up. Two hands. Go for it. Ain't no way you wanna waste any of that perfectly cooked meat, either.Sop 'em in that awesome sauce and gobble 'em up.I am SOOOOO glad I got the chance to stop in and rib out. I am also VERY glad there was another icon in it, for me. I finally met Mister Johnny Ray Smith. He was sorting through the oak firewood out back as I was leaving. I was compelled to walk over and chat with him.Almost an hour later, we parted ways. I was full. Of incredible food and a good feeling from a new friend.

Place was empty, but several groups came in as we were ordering. The bbq sauce is the best in any place I ever had. Portions were a bit on the light side IMHO. I had the rib basket. Very good. Awesome coleslaw and beans.

Whenever I feel for bbq and do not want to driver too far I come here . The food is hit or miss depending on the day. I have never eaten in the restaurant and usually get takeout. I usually order the ribs dinner with macaroni and cheese and baked beans. I have also had ribs and chicken- I stopped ordering chicken due to it being dry the last time I have ordered. Service has a quick turnaround of the food once orders are put in.

Oh a busy road in Tampa, a small little bbq restaurant called Jazzy's sits. It was rated Tampa's best bbq by Good Morning America in 2022. Customer service was great. Everyone was super friendly and helpful! Prices are very affordable. We got the king of kings, which is 5 meats and 2 sides. We upgraded our sides so there was a bit of an upcharge. For 2 drinks, our food and tip, 2 of us ate for under $45. Plus we have a lot left to take home. Our 5 meats were chicken, pork ribs, Turkey, pulled pork, and sausage. My husband and I didn't care for the sausage. I didn't like the flavor or the crunchy casing. The chicken was dry as was the Turkey. The ribs and pulled pork were both tender and good. Our greens were eh and the fries were just fries. Give Jazzy's a try. You might like it. I'd go back to try other things.

The food was overall delicious . Good portions. I would suggest that the owners expand their selection of BBQ sauces. I recommend a sweet sauce, and a mustard based sauce to add to their selection. Good sauce makes the BBQ. It's all about the sauce!

Very rustic in appearance. Apparently, Jazzy was voted 'Best Barbeque' in Tampa. I don't know if it's the best, but it beats some other places I've tried. Got the small/regular rib dinner which includes three bones and your choice of 2 sides. Side choices are the usual, collards, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, Mac&cheese. I chose greens and Mac. Greens were a little bland but the mac & cheese was good enough to wanna slap Jazzy's mama! You get a choice of sauce, hot or mild. I went mild and it really was. The girl at the counter was not very welcoming. But it took no time for the good to come out. And everything was hot...did I mention how good the mac & cheese was?

best bbq in tampa, bbq pulled pork is amazing, ribs fall off the bone, got to have the spicy bbq sauce.service was greatlove the rustic vibes.

This is my second time visiting Jazzy's while on vacation. This time I preordered some sausage to take Back to Indianapolis for friends and family. I ordered 10 lbs. What I received was maybe 7 lbs. They charged me for "pre cooked" weight. I even called them and they said they smoked 2 x 5 lb packages for me. That's not how you sell bbq. I even called a friend who caters bbq and he said he sells his meats "post cooked" weight. So if you order 5 lbs of brisket, you get 5 lbs of brisket. Every other bbq joint I've been to across the united states sells their meats post cooked weight. Not Jazzy's. Even though the sausage is off the hook, getting ripped off for over $60 worth of meat that I never received is truly saddening and quite frankly disappointing. Oh well. Live and learn.
