Stopped by for a tri tip sandwich for lunch. I had chili beans which I wouldn't call "chili beans" but more like seasoned pintos that were excellent. The BBQ sauce was also top notch, much like Busters was years ago. The sandwich had excellent flavor but if you're selling a sandwich, it has to be tender enough to take bites out of it. I tried but gave up and cut the meat up and ate the bread separately. Still really good, just not quite tender enough to make the sandwich work. Finally, the menu says it comes with 1 side salad and chili beans but all I got was the beans. Call it 3 1/2 stars.

I genuinely love coming to Jimmy’s BBQ. The tri-tip is always tender, the pork ribs are always hit they’re absolutely my favorite the side salads are so fresh everything just hits the spot. I also really enjoy the mild sauce, it’s the perfect finishing touch. But what truly keeps me coming back is the service. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and helpful overall amazing people. You can really feel the care they put into both the food and the experience. I definitely recommend Jimmy’s to anyone looking for great barbecue and a place that makes you feel right at home check it out 🩷

If you love BBQ with a kick, this place delivers. The sauce has the perfect balance of heat and smoky sweetness — enough spice to wake you up but not so much that it kills the flavor. The meat was tender, juicy, and loaded with that slow-smoked goodness that sticks to your fingers (and your memory). I’d come back just for the spicy ribs alone — but the sides were top-notch too. Great portions, great vibe, and you leave full and happy. Verdict: If you like your BBQ bold and spicy, don’t miss this place. 10/10 — bring napkins!

Did not know this place was open. It used to be a Buster's but that closed some time ago. Jimmy's apparently opened a few months ago. It has essentially the same food lineup as Buster's. I had the chicken dinner and my wife had the tri tip. The service area and grill has been remodeled. The food was excellent. We definitely will go back.

I’ve never liked coleslaw in my life until I tried Jimmy’s. It’s fresh, crisp, and actually delicious. Their macaroni salad and potato salad are just as good & flavorful and the perfect side to every plate. But the real star? The tri-tip. Tender, juicy, and full of flavor. I’m obsessed. Whether I’m craving BBQ or just a feel good meal, Jimmy’s is always my go to.

Jimmy’s BBQ & Grill hands down deserves a trophy. The tri-tip is insanely tender and so damn juicy. Their bowls are filled very generously stacked with meat, fluffy white rice, and all the good stuff. You get your moneys worth and full stomach. God and the chicken? Grilled to perfection. But can we talk about the mild sauce?? It’s so good I could literally drink it. Sweet, tangy I want to bottle it up and take it home. If you're in Ventura literally try Jimmy’s these guys are the best! Highly recommend!

This BBQ spot delivers a one-of-a-kind Ventura flavor that sets it apart. The tri-tip was tender, smoky, and full of bold, unforgettable flavor. What really hit the spot? The macaroni salad—creamy and perfectly seasoned—and the chili beans had just the right kick. 😋 Laid-back local vibes, friendly service, and flavors you won’t find anywhere else. If you’re in Ventura and love great BBQ, this is your new go-to.

By far, the best BBQ I've had in this area, in a very long time! Thank you for making my birthday perfect with your delicious ribs, which is all my heart desired today. 😋

Foood is absolutely amazing. And fresh and the how bbq sauce is on another level. I recommend everyone going to try it out

I also come here sometimes for the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich and Macaroni Salad. It is so juicy and delicious. The staff is always nice and fast and friendly. They take care of you right away. Great place to have lunch or grab a bite with your friends. There is always plenty of seating and plenty of parking. Even during busy hours.

This place is located where the old busters/just bbq was, across from the old Century 16. The service was great, from the gal who took my order and patiently answered all my questions to the guy making my sandwich. I ordered a tri tip sandwich. The meat was a good portion and so tender. The bread roll was soft and buttered to perfection. Pricing was competitive to other places. I really enjoyed this place. With so many options for bbq in the area, this please really stands out with their service and food. Thank you Jimmy's, you'll see me again soon!

Came for lunch to try this new bbq place. You order at the counter. Friendly service. Ordered the tri tip sandwich with mild sauce, link, macaroni salad and potato salad. Tri tip was nice and tender, bread was nicely toasted, not soggy at all. The mild sauce was too spicy for my tastebuds. Link and macaroni salad were very good!

Very good BBQ and fixings. Authentic taste Gotta try it out in this upcoming food court.

Just stopped by the newly opened Jimmys and man o man all I can say is WOW. The hotlinks (RIP) didn't even make it home due to my kiddos going through the box and eating them in the car on the way home. The tri tip is perfectly cooked and made. Sides are good Staff was really nice and helpful going over their specials and favorites which I love (Cough Cough Mothers should take notes) The ambiance was nice and calm, several BBQ enthusiasts excited just like us there's a new place to try. Will be adding this to our weekly rotation Please everyone spread the word and let's promote and support our local businesses

Service is always fast & friendly. Good portions. When I'm craving bbq in the area this is my go to

The Tri-tip Dinner was ,some of the better bbq I've had during my time in Ventura county. The service was great too, The cashier allowed me to try out the salad because I wasn't sure which to get. Definitely gonna be coming here again.

Amazing food but so friendly We have been here twice. This our new bbq place. And there is a few in this area.

Mild is still a little spicy but we didn't mind. Service was friendly. Like that it's in a food court with outdoor seating.

Very disappointed I guess don't go when they first open seems like you get the meat from the day before pork ribs were hard and dry tri tip over cooked very little meat on the beef rib the bread was good

Best bbq in town! If you haven't already you need to try it out! It's the sauce and the cook!!!

Good portions, great customer service but food wasn't very flavorful. Convenient location was just hoping food was more flavorful.

Where to begin. Nothing was tasty unfortunately. The tri tip was gray & dry. The hot bbq sauce tasted like it had cinnamon & nutmeg in it which was not a good thing. The bread wasn't toasted & had no butter or garlic, just flavorless. The corn tasted as if it had been boiling away for hours. Flavorless & water filled kernels. Even the hot link was terrible. Such a bummer as it's right across the street but never again unfortunately.

The food is just as good as I remember it! I'll be back again soon. I'm just typing this to finish up my character limit

I ordered the tri-tip sandwich with a side of potato salad and everything was great. Tender tri-tip and lots of it, the spicy BBQ sauce is spicy but very good. The bread was awesome and the exact kind of bread you want for a tri-tip sandwich. I highly recommend and I will be a regular customer.
