| In 1936 Joe & Lola Mae Steedley opened The Log Kitchen, a southern style tavern in a remote south Georgia town known as Homerville. Joe added a wood fired pit and started churning out bar-b-que for his customers. He quickly built a business known for his cooking method and his special blended sauce. The Log Kitchen grew from tavern to restaurant in just a few short years. In 1967 the Restaurant was destroyed by Fire. Joe started the construction of a new facility but passed away before it was completed. Joe's daughter Mary Joe and her husband Elroy finished the restaurant and operated it until 1975 when Mary Joe's first cousin Earl (Jimbo) Steedley and his wife Pearlena bought it. At that time they added Jimbo's to the Log Kitchen name and it grew at a rapid pace becoming regionally famous for it's food and down home atmosphere. In 1987 Earl passed away and the family tradition was then passed to Earl's son Mark and his wife Kitty. They added a catering division to Jimbo's and currently are handling about 400 events a year. Mark and Kitty hope you enjoy their web site and if you need catering services they would be more than happy to help. |
