Went Friday night. 1st time. Absolutely loved the food, people and atmosphere. I highly recommend this place! It is added to our date nights, take home dinners and whatever excuse we can come up with!

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.
