Big Jim’s BBQ, Burgers, Pizza & Catering is at 7 Trent Jones Lane in Palmetto Dunes, in the clubhouse building beside the golf course. It is a resort restaurant with a public door, so you do not need to be playing golf or staying in the resort to eat here. Inside there is a long bar with a mix of high-tops and regular tables. Outside, a deck looks over the course.
What to Order at Big Jim’s
The name lists the menu: barbecue, burgers and pizza, plus salads, wings and more. Reviewers keep coming back to the nachos, the ribs, the BBQ chicken platter, fish tacos and the chef salad, and they say portions are generous for the price. It opens at 7 a.m. with a breakfast menu that includes waffles and bagels, so it works before a morning round or a day of biking. Hours run 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
Reservations and Catering
Big Jim’s does not take reservations. Tables go to whoever walks in. It also does catering, which is worth knowing if you are staying in a Palmetto Dunes villa: orders are pickup only and need 48 hours’ notice, and a 23 percent service fee is added. For catering call 877-306-4757 (Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or email catering@palmettodunes.com.
