Place just opened for business (June 2023). Food was good and nice portion size. Service was excellent. Whenever I give ratings I also try to offer perspective. Remember this is a small town, not a metropolitan center, also they just opened (not even a complete menu yet). I would still recommend regardless of location or age of business. This place should only get better with time and once fully staffed too. I love local places like this when I travel.

Food was delicious. Our server was very attentive and our food arrived quickly and hot. I highly recommend JIm Bobs BBQ and will stop again if I’m ever in Townsend again.

We stopped in for lunch on our way to the caverns and we’re so glad we did! Best meal we have had since being in Tennessee hands down. I had the burnt ends with fries and the white Mac and cheese. We also tried the smoked ribs and chicken tenders and everyone left happy and full. 10 out of 10 would recommend!!!

OMG, WOW!!!! I LOVED IT. The BEST BBQ I HAVE EVER EATEN. I love to travel around Southern states. When I’m near the ocean, I eat seafood, but I can’t ever pass up on BBQ. While we were staying in Gatlinburg, I saw this BBQ restaurant called Jim Bob’s BBQ and I just cant say enough great things about this place absolutely Loved everything about it. Great service, great people, DEFINITELY DELICIOUS BBQ.

I was excited to learn that this restaurant had been reopened by new owners. The restaurant appeared to be clean and freshly painted. The workers were friendly. However, I was disappointed in other ways.I hope they will accept this review as constructive criticism. I’d love to see them succeed. I wish them all the best. But, my experience was less satisfying than I’d hoped.

Great place, the food was excellent, particularly the pork belly burnt ends. Bob and his staff were friendly and generous. Will definitely come back here when we’re in the area again.

Our nephew insisted we try Jim Bob’s BBQ before we left and that child was not wrong at all, let me tell you!!!!! Talk about fall straight off the bone into your tummy ribs, they’ve got em!!! No chewing needed as they melt in your mouth. The pork belly burnt ends are absolutely heavenly. The smoked BBQ wings were huge and so saucy. The fries are seasoned to perfection and crispy. The fried pickles are perfect! The fried okra tasted so fresh I thought for sure someone went out back and picked it right then and fried it. The portions are phenomenal as well. If yall are in the area you need to do yourself the biggest favor ever and give this place a try. You will not be disappointed, I promise you that!!!!

We had Candy as our waitress and she was funny and kind! We sat outside with our pups, and the smoke coming out of the BBQ was delightful. The burnt ends were the best! The potato salad could use improvement….

Went to the soft opening of Jimbob’s BBQ and was extremely disappointed. I’ve eaten bbq all over east Tennessee and this was not good. I got pulled pork that was mushy and had a really bad flavor. The meal came with coleslaw and a drink which I had to go back and ask for at the counter. She brought me a coleslaw and no drink and went back into the kitchen. My girlfriend got ribs and all she got were ribs in aluminum foil. She went back to get her coleslaw as well and it had a little black bug in it. The ribs were also not good. Not sure the wood they use but there was no smoked flavor profile I could taste. The sauce they had definitely didn’t compliment the flavor. I am a local and won’t be going back nor can I recommend a visit. Spending $30 on food that went into the garbage is not something I can afford to do. We we’re really hoping to get good bbq back in Townsend.
