Thanks to Yelp! I was able to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for some delicious ribs in…read morethe area! I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

We ate at this restaurant at MCO in terminal A around 2pm today…read more We were promptly seated in Christine's section. (If this was rated on Christine's service, this would be a five star rating. Alas, there were a few things we noticed that could be improved, and nothing to do with our server.) When we were being seated, one of the staff came and cleaned the floor for us, then another member of staff zipped right in front of us and interrupted her as she was trying to finish. It sounded like she was critiquing her in front of us. We were just happy to have a clean place to sit. I asked Christine about an item on the menu, she asked another lady working there for assistance in answering. This lady unnecessarily chided our server right in front of us! She told her to call someone else for the answer. It was a simple yes or no answer, it took her a minute to find out, but it was too much for her? I didn't catch her name, but she was wearing a red shirt, This restaurant is open concept. Our table was located right next to the open kitchen. The only thing separating us from the very chatty, gossiping, staff, was a short partition with no privacy screen, so we couldn't help but hear about who wasn't showing up to work, and other gossip. Our meals were very good. I enjoyed my Bbq and broccoli slaw, thank you for answering my question Christine, your poise was impressive. The cornbread was tasty. The hot honey and jalapeños gave it a delicious kick. If the restaurant managers could take a moment and use authoritative skills instead of authoritarian, ie don't correct your waitstaff with that uncomfortable tone of voice people use when they want to feel important in front of customers., no less. This would be a five star. That's bad form.

We recently moved to the area and have been eager to try new places! We love barbecue, but it can…read morebe hard to find a good barbecue spot! We happen to stumble upon Jimmy Bears BBQ and are glad we had the opportunity to try it! We came on a Friday night around 6pm, expecting the restaurant to be packed but as we walked in we quickly realized we were the only patrons there. During our time there we never saw anyone else come in either. We ordered our food to-go, and it came out relatively quickly! We felt the price was on par with similar restaurants, and very fair for the amount of food you received The food itself was overall decent. There were some items that we really enjoyed, like the Mac and cheese, three blind mice sandwich, and the Alabama white sauce!! Other items like the green beans or pulled brisket left us wanting more. The green beans did not taste fresh, and the brisket lacked seasoning/flavor. There were also a lot of fried elements like the tater tots, onion rings or even the mozzarella sticks on the three blind mice sandwich, which we feel like were all decent and not too greasy, but also know those are easy things to make regardless of where you're at! The staff was very friendly at the restaurant! They were available if we had questions, and got our food out quickly to us. The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn. You could definitely tell this establishment/building has been here for awhile with little to no updates over the years. A few updates to the space I think would really transform it and make it look like it belongs in 2023 not 1993. We do see ourselves coming back in the future, as we saw a few other menu items we are curious about trying!

They all seem happy in there and you really hope for their success. Now for the food! I was hunting down the famous tripleta sandwich and stumbled upon an even better creation called the mofongopleta which sounded even more glutinous and delicious but also more healthy. It was perfect, lots of food at a reasonable price and exploding with flavor, especially with the queso salsa crema sauce thing they gave us.

While we occupied one of their tables, I decided I should order some food, and went inside. The line was long, and slow. Very slow. The holdup in the line was at the fountain drink spot, maybe by design to not overwhelm the food pickup area, or maybe not. After finally reaching the food, I got their Smokehouse Sampler, their largest offering that I would share with the others in my group. By this time it was wet but not raining, and we were anxious to get to the next attraction. I grabbed some of the brisket, which was fatty, and one of the ribs. Was there BBQ sauce at the condiment spot? I was eating fast and was not appreciating the food, not even noticing the BBQ aspect. The place served its purpose by giving us a place to stop while it was raining. I didn't appreciate waiting in their line so long and didn't give the food a chance to impress me.

Drinks were very slow. Food was very slow. All but one food item was cold. All steaks overcooked. Not even close. Salmon overcooked. Not even close No chimichurri for steak. No gravy for chicken and gravy. No green beans. No vegetables. We didn't know any of that ahead of time. When our food arrived, the sauces and sides didn't come out with the food. When they went back to get them, they had no sauces and no vegetables/green beans. The chicken and gravy Father's Day special had no gravy, the steak chimichurri had no chimichurri. No warning from the kitchen and waitress was sent out to tell us. Solution to all of it was to give us a $3 discount on the individual items, the steak and the chicken and gravy. It's hard to explain how exceptionally slow, cold and overcooked the food was. Seemed like one server, one manager and one cook at the restaurant. Wouldn't have written the review if they were even somewhat understanding of how bad things were. The $3 off was incredibly token especially for Father's Day meal where we spent upwards of $500. Just didn't want anyone else having the experience we did.
