Follow your nose to the best BBQ in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area. How do you know when you are there?  Well, here are a few clues to help you.

The sweet smell of burning wood is your first clue.  A large wood pile of seasoned hickory or oak, sitting next to a wood smoker is your next clue.  A man who spends countless hours toiling and sweating over a smoking hot pit.  He stokes a wood fueled oven, lovingly tending to pork shoulders, briskets, and ribs for long hours, nurturing them to a level of tenderness and smoked flavor that is unmatched by any other food.  That is your last clue.

What I have described is the way we cook great barbecue in the authentic southern tradition way at Jimma's Real Pit BBQ.  So if you have been looking for great BBQ, and you didn't know where to find it, well look no more 'cause we have what you've been looking for.

"You'll keep the smell in your nose, and we'll keep the taste in your mouth!"

Here at Jimma's BBQ Mobile Catering, we cook on a competition level barbecue smoker/cooker called the Lang 84 Twin Deluxe.  It makes food taste more distinct and gives it a true barbecue flavor more than anywhere else in the Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor area.  Our meats are not cooked with charcoal, so it does not have a charcoal taste or pellet flavor.  What we have here is an authentic wood smoked barbecue taste that is cooked low and slow for long hours.  The 4200 pound unit at 15 feet long can cook over 1000 pounds of meat at a time, making it one of the largest in the area.  Stop by and taste the real deal, you will not be surprised.

If you have noticed the heavenly scent of barbecue drifting up and down Washtenaw Ave. in Ypsilanti, you've smelled the magic of Jimma's BBQ Mobile Catering.
