This place was worth the drive from Orlando. Ribs were fall off the bone tender..brisket was 1 of the best i have had in FL. Baked beans were on point. I believe the person that took care of was Kortney. She took great care of me. The egg rolls were good enough that i had ordered more to go. I would frequent Smokin' Jim's if it were closer and recommend to all to try out.
