"Great local place to get BBQ. We had the ribs & pulled pork. The ribs had a good smoke/Char and pulled clean off the bone. The pulled pork was flavorful and moist. It had a few bones in it, the BBQ sauce was great. We also ordered the Banana bread pudding, it was fantastic. I would get 2 if you don’t like sharing. We ordered right around 5pm on a Saturday and they had already sold out of Mac and Cheese and corn casserole so plan accordingly. We will definitely come back and regret we waited so long to try the BBQ."

"We had a BBQ pitch in for my job. At first they was talking about going to king ribs since we work on the west side on 16th & Crawfordsville rd. But our friend Britt suggested this to us. Definitely glad we ordered. I live on the east side & this will be my goto bbq spot! The meat first off smelled magnificent, the presentation was up to standard & the flavor was absolutely GREAT! I think for 2 half pans for $140 wasn't bad at all bc it was so much meat. The chicken... their chicken was over expectations it was flavorful & moist, the pork had a great flavor top & the way they slice it makes it more than enough. They have it for pork lovers & for non pork lovers. Oh customer service was a very professional & wonderful experience."

"This is an OUTSTANDING family owned business. If you haven't tried them, you are truly missing out on a magical experience. We had them cater out wedding reception, they brought their smoker. Set up, and serve 75 people. The customer service we received during our event, was second to non. We unfortunately didn't take many photos of the food because we ate it as fast as they could serve it! We had halfed chickens, Rib tips, pulled pork as the mains. The only meat that was left at the end was half a tray of chicken. For sides, we had baked Mac and cheese, loaded potato salad (which my husband states was made by God himself), and some scrumptious Cole slaw. Honestly for the price, I feel like WE cheated them. It was so good. If you have a moment to stop in and try them, you won't be disappointed."

"On Saturday we surprised my mom with a retirement party after the Walk to Defeat ALS downtown. We catered with Jimbo's, working with Jimbo and coordinating pick up times, etc was very easy. Everyone loved the food (my uncle had 3 plates!) We will definitely work with Jimbo's in the future!"

"Omg I should have knew this place was trouble when I first walked in. My server Rachel had a huge smile on her face and knew exactly who I was and she was ready to crip walk all over my taste buds with this Texas style bbq. Was I in for a treat! I sampled the pork ribs (super flavorful), chili (surprise at the bottom), Thursday special (pork melt…can we say oink oink) and lastly the pastrami melt…ummmm call the fireman because this food was 🔥 but I don’t want to be put out! Free parking (which is super hard in this area), in house carry out (that’s cheaper than you know who), they cater so hit them up for your office get together/parties or just stop in for a bite like I did. And when you do, tell them your favorite @travelingfoodieguyde sent you and tag me in your pics/videos and let me know what you thought!"

"Finally made it to Gomez BBQ today! I got to have the Sunday breakfast sandwich a day early … triple decker breakfast sandwich with such amazing flavor and a cold brew with vanilla … yum yum yum. My only wish would be living closer. For the dude who said the portions were small well this sandwich was massive. Maybe he is used to poor quality food at a fast food joint. I love a small business with a big ❤️ any day of the week. Anyway can’t wait to be back on the east side to try lunch."

"Look, if you’re thinking about it, get it. The food is really good!! A few weeks ago, I bought some for my parents, but my dad doesn’t like lamb, so guess who finally got to try this spot out? The woodfire lamb combo was delicious. So good i came back again for me and got the hot lamb combo. The flavors from the well seasoned lamb to the grilled onions, with the sauce, unlike anything I’ve ever tasted. Even the sides were good. From the register to the owner, customer service is impeccable. I wish this business nothing but continued success. Money is always well spent. The photo looks like more onions than meat but i promise it’s more meat underneath. Just too excited to eat to get a better pic 😋"

"Live everything about this place!! Please try if you haven't already! All the side are amazing truly home-cooked! You can't find greens like this anywhere around here!! Mac and cheese is so rich and creamy!"

"From out of town and found this place in an online search, so glad we did. We had the BEST lunch. Soul food that just hits the spot. Every side we tried was delicious. Had both fried chicken and bbq pulled pork and both were spot on. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful and just as excited about selling their food as we were to taste it!! Would go out of my way to eat here again!"
