Jambones- Great BBQ

I noticed that the deli case that had beans, chicken, and pork packaged up to go, so I guess I would not have expected it to be hot. Our 2 favorite places in Louisville would package the food up cold (to go in the fridge) and we would re-heat.

FYI- a good way to re-heat ribs is to sprinkle a bit of apple juice on them, wrap tightly in tin foil, and pop 'em in the warm oven.

I just placed the order. They never told me anything about the items being cold. If they had of I would have ordered something else. If I am going to have to use the oven on vacation I might as well cook the entire meal.

We had take out tonight from Jambone's and must say the experience was not good. We ordered 4 half slabs of ribs, also bought about a pint size of pork and chicken with a pint of beans and a pint of slaw. We ordered 3 brisket plates and 1 shrimp basket. The cost was $174.00. The brisket was very good, tender and good flavor. The ribs, chicken and pork were all cold, (refrigerator cold). We had to come back and heat it up. Maybe this is normal for Florida but in TN when you order BBQ it is all ready to eat (not cold). I expect to pay more on vacation and the price is not the problem, but if I pay this much I do not expect to have to come back to the house and heat the majority of it up.

Give them a second chance, try eating at the restaurant, it is worth it. I'm just curious and not accusing, but how far did you go (time wise) when you left the restaurant or was it handed out cold?

We only went to Segrove. The stuff that was cold was just like it came out of a refrigerator, the rest of the stuff was warm. I just think with take out they should tell you up front if it is cold. Maybe staff assumed I would know, people have bad days I know. Maybe a sign would help.

i am so sorry for the confusion and mix up with your take out order at jambone. we do have two ways that you can buy food here. the deli case is fully stocked with all of our offerings for you to take away immediately with no waiting and it is for you to reheat at home. the portions are double the size that you would receive if you bought a "plate hot" to go or to dine in. the cold is 1 pound and a hot plate with two side is 8 oz of meat. an 8oz hot bbq plate with two choices of beans, slaw or fries is 10.95. the one pound of cold deli packs is 12.95 and in my opinion can easily serve 3. i am sorry that our cashiers didn't make everything more clear for you and please allow us the opportunity to serve you again and this time hopefully under more satisfying circumstances.

please ask for me next time you are and i hope that you do - my name i scott and i will assure you a great experience. if i am not available then please ask for either michael gutierrez or david klaeger my two managers. if you have further kitchen questions you can also ask to see kevin shields or doug dunnigan my two sous chefs.

an unsatisfied guest is the worst feeling in the world for folks like us who's singular goal is the 180 degree exact opposite - an again i am sincerely sorry for the mix up.

thanks mossy1 and we hope to win you back soon.

We will be in Blue Mtn Beach this week and cannot wait to try the Jambones Q. We are from north Alabama and have tried all the Bar-b Q offerings here, most of the resturants (Golden Rule, Dads) are becoming "chains" and the food is not what it used to be. i miss the stand alone joints and Jambones sounds like a place to hang out get good food that is not a chain resturant. I have close friends that opened the Oxford Golden Rule, the food is excellent and great service but the atmosphere is not like it used to be in the 70's and 80's. I miss those stand alone Q joints.

Mr. JamBone...you are one cool cat!

you are - miss kitty!!

Thanks for the reply Scott. I am not trying to slam your place. The food was good and I know you are relying on your cashiers and servers to represent you. I just was not expecting to have to recook part of the food when we got back to the house. Thanks again for replying.

Gem of the day! (3:00 am) I am FOOTLOOSE! Polish up that floor...I hit town first weekend in October. I am from Texas and have a Daddy and a Mr. K that cook a mean BBQ! So excited to come to see you and your crew!

P.S. do you have mixed drinks with straws?

Further explanation, please.

Three of the Fired Up Crew enjoyed brisket last night at Jambone. Third time we've eaten there, and all three times it was the best BBQ we've ever eaten. Eaten Memphis BBQ, plowed through Alabama BBQ, even had Cajun years ago near NOLA, but Jambone absolutely, positively tops them all.

As JDarg mentioned, the quality of the meat makes Jambone shine above all the other BBQ joints and chain places in NW Florida.

Scott, ya'll have ROCKED the BBQ world!

Further explanation, please.

Google "table top shuffleboard".

yes miss kitty all of our mixed drinks come with straws.

shuffleboard is a classic northern bar game - all them northers come up with great bar games cause is so dang cold all the time they spend so much time indoors and drinkin!!

it looks like a long wooden bowling lane on legs with scoring lines on each end. opponents take turn sliding heavy weighted metal hockey puck looking things down towards the scoring lines. the pucks slide along smoothly across the wooden lane that also has granulated wax sprinkled all about that looks like sand or saw dust. teams try to get the furthest down the lane for the most points while also trying to knock each other off the table.

addictive and challenging and FUN! we have several groups of die hard players and we are about to have the Jambone Open World Championships!

My good friend rick clark from the Red Door Saloon in nashville is opening a Red Door in PCB next month and he will have a table as he does in nashville and my other pal jack mctighe (founder of mellow mushroom pizza) who is opening his new pizza pub on 30-a soon will also have a table and we intend to start some wicked cross county/regional/neighborhood challenges - its gonna be a great fall ya'll - football and shuffleboard!

see ya soon miss kitty and your bbq litter!

thanks so much jim and stacy - i appreciate your comments, it means a lot and my crew is working their butts off (hahahaha) and the guest satisfaction is what makes this whole crazy restaurant career worth the effort!

peace

I finally ate at Jambone! Holy crap, that is good barbeque!

Good food, good beer, good prices, good music, nice staff, and clean bathrooms.

Except for almost breaking axles on the parking lot potholes, perfection!

ya scooterbug my parking lots sucks bad! it might possibly be the worst stretch of paved space in the western hemisphere! very sorry about that. the only saving grace that i have is i drive a beat up old 74 bronco with big tires!

I'm sure your landlord doesn't care about your parking lot, and I loved your bbq the two times I ate there, but sorry, I'm not coming there til you get it fixed, I know it's not your problem, then again, it is. Seems like that lot has been that way for a while...

I hear there's a bay front location available.

Out of town landlord, who doesn't seem to have any trouble leasing the space with the parking lot the way it is.

It isn't THAT bad. I mean, we all park in gravel to eat at Stinky's (or park on 30A and hope we don't get sideswiped).

I can't remember every going to a really, really good BBQ place that had a lovely parking lot.

Id like to see Jambone II on the Eastern end of 30A.. (my side:roll ..hint, hint...hope u get that big someday!

I hear there's a bay front location available.

Please Jambone don't move - it didn't seem to work out well for Balls Out and we don't want to lose you.
