Parker John's is beautifully situated along the river's edge in Sheboygan, with a fantastic view…read moreand plenty of seating both inside and outside. The menu is jam-packed with delicious options, and our group had a hard time narrowing down our selections! We started by sharing the traditional mild Buffalo wings, burnt ends, and armadillo eggs. The wings were huge, meaty, and packed with an amazing smoked flavor. The burnt ends were incredibly tender, falling apart and practically melting like butter in your mouth. Amazingly, I still had room for the turkey Reuben with waffle fries. It was an interesting twist and a slightly healthier alternative to a traditional Reuben. They also offered a great selection of local beers on tap. Our waiter was extremely friendly and helpful as we worked our way through the extensive menu. We loved everything about this place and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sheboygan!

We don't mind waiting for a table at a busy restaurant-- but a fair degree of accuracy in the…read moreestimated wait time is a sign of an organized and well managed establishment. If you tell us the wait is 40 minutes and we are seated in 45 minutes, we won't complain. But if you say the wait is 10-15 minutes and we have to inquire about what's going 40 minutes later and it turns out you can seat us immediately, the front of the house management is not doing their job very well. (At least it was pleasant outside and we enjoyed strolling up and down the marina checking out all the boats while we were waiting.) Once we were finally seated, everything was fine. Our server greeted us promptly. Drinks were delivered shortly after we placed our order and the food came to the table not long after that. I ordered the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad. Compared to BBQ brisket I've had elsewhere I'd give it a six out of ten, not bad but far from the best (but I really didn't expect a place in Sheboygan to top places in Kansas City or Memphis for example). I sampled all their sauces (none of which wowed me) before settling on one that brought a touch of heat to the palate. The potato salad was a tad one-note -- it needed a touch of acid and a bit more texture, I.e. crunchy vegetables. All in all, Parker John's was okay -- but I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

The burger was great and cooked just how I like it. The poutine appetizer substitutes cheese curds for chicken, which was an interesting, but welcome surprise!

Way to big and it had skin on it and it was salty! Chicken strips were good size but salty. Pork chop good, vegetables very salty, airline chicken good, vegetables very salty. So overall extremely salty food. 3 of the 5 went home not feeling well. A shame. Reached out to them and they basically said: Thanks for you feedback, it was a new dish that was put out last night. The 4 that went out earlier in the night received great reviews. Salt is a very difficult thing in restaurants. Everyone tastes are different As far as your people not feeling well after eating our food, every food class and schooling explains it is impossible to feel sickness in that short period of time from ingestion. Typically what a person ate 12-24 hours before would make them sick. So my take away from that is too bad so sad. Needless to say we will not be going back!

The store is now doing a food truck and doesn't have the store front anymore. They do offer catering as well. You can find their schedule on their Facebook page.

The troughs are our favorite dish from boots, which the owner did say they are going to bring back due to popularity and thank goodness because I miss It so much Today I ordered the brisket Mac and cheese & it was so yummy! but I will be waiting for the trough

Mr and I hands down though can't get enough of the loaded spud. The staff is super friendly. They let you sample items. The seating is basic, but it is Cafe style with tables and chairs or booths for 4 people. They serve Pepsi products which is a negative in my opinion. A good ice cold Coke is more fitting. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

The wings were juicy and tender. The meatballs were excellent. For the main course, I had pulled pork and the rib tips. I had the pulled pork. There was no bun, and the pork was bland with little or no sauce. It was tender and juicy, though. The ribs were tough and chewy. No sauce to go with them. I also had the macaroni and cheese. The macaroni was cooked ok, but the cheese was sticky and bland. I would have loved to put some bbq sauce on it. The green bean casserole was good but cold. There were other items I didn't try, but what I did have was mediocre at best. The meat ball appetizer was the best. This could have been my meal.

This was a let down, because I usually enjoy my meals at the Pig.... Especially the desserts!

We kept changing our minds on what to eat and we decided on the brisket grilled cheese and we were not disappointed. The Gouda cheese, brisket, and mushrooms were a great flavor. Server was amazing and very accommodating. All in all a fantastic lunch. Highly recommend.

You order/pay at the counter and then find a table to wait. The counter guy was quite personable and very well versed on the menu with excellent suggestions. Great decor inside and a small patio for those warm summer months. I ordered a two meat plate (pulled pork and sausage). This came with two sides (fries and mac & cheese). Talk about a lot of food. I was stuffed. Everything tasted great with that original bbq sauce flavor. What an unexpected surprise to find such a cool bbq joint in a quaint little community. I would drive out of my way for a return visit. Keep bringing the great service and great bbq J's.

Ask for the grape ape while you're there. Anyways, I ordered the jerk chicken breast and Mac and cheese. The jerk was delicious, hint of wood flavor, excellent chile and allspice flavor. It's not ridiculously hot, so most should enjoy it. I tend to like jerk crazy hot, but this had a pleasant balance between the glow of the chiles, the allspice, and citrus kick. The mac and cheese was out of the world good. I'm not one for sides, but I would have ordered a bucket of it if I could. I can't even explain what was going on with it, but there was some faint smokiness or something that caught me off guard and spoke to me. Without exaggeration, the best I've ever had. Robert the pitmaster is lovely gentleman with a great heart and passion for his food. If I lived here, I would eat here every week. You can taste when you eat something that has been made with love. So come on down, have some bbq, and a few drinks at Sandee's while you're waiting. I've only been here once, but it feels like home.

Great bbq. We loved the pulled pork and chicken. Will Definitely return to this placeread more
