Since moving to Tampa from NY seven years ago it has been a goal to seek out the best BBQ available (in fact I had been shipping food in from NC). I have sampled BBQ from local restaurants like Remingtons to BBQ shacks like Sonny's and Flossie's to road side stands throughout the whole area. The styles have ranged from vinegar based NC style to tomato based southern sweet style. But it is rare to find a slow smoked dry rub based style. Well Jaymer offers that and more. Their baby back ribs are hands down the best as is their pulled pork. Second is their brisket. Their sides are excellent (especially potato salad and smoked green beans). As delicious as the food is the smoke flavor is never overdone like so many other places. The hospitality, prices and special events (like the Bluegrass festival) are outstanding. I drive 45 minutes to get there and no longer consider eating BBQ anywhere else in town. There's just no comparison. Hats off to Jaymer and Cindy!\r
