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 The ambiance of the restaurant was a little out of date and worn.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!

Best bbq in the area!

If you're looking for the old-fashioned Sonny barbecue style restaurant…read more Then I'm here to tell you this is the barbecue place to go. They do serve breakfast and offer waffles omelettes and other favorites. Their dinner menu and lunch menu is fantastic. I will tell you out of the two entrées that have been chosen. The only thing I would recommend if you were ordering a pork sandwich you can ask for it to be served on two slices of garlic bread. It just is the way to go. We had nominal service did not wait long at all right to our seat and had one of the greatest sweet teas. Food came out fast, quick and hot. Everybody was very friendly and they do have an option with a fresh salad bar that is self served. Just act serve server. Great, great place for families and kids!!!

We ordered takeout. I know that usually leads to issues due to food sitting a bit too long. But…read morethat can't excuse just how bad this meal was. We ordered the big family meal. Honestly, the price is great. But I'd rather have paid double for food that I could enjoy. This stuff was really bad. I'm not convinced that it's actually BBQ. For starters, the sliced meat was almost like leather, and the chicken was tough, too. The meat didn't seem to have any seasoning at all. Certainly, there was no tasty rub like the stuff I had last summer in Amarillo. More importantly, I didn't get much of a smoky flavor and didn't really notice any smoke ring on anything. The turkey was really odd in color and consistency. No smoke ring but somewhat pinkish white all the way through and dry as hell with no seasoning ring on the outside. My guess is that it was lunch meat or some bad product that comes prepackaged. I can't imagine why people go to this restaurant. The BBQ place that closed was so much better.

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.

You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of the ingredients and preparation. Huge kudos to Chef Frankie for delivering such a phenomenal meal. Everything from the steak to the sides was well executed and beautifully presented. Our server, Aubrey, was fantastic and truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu without ever making us feel rushed. Her service made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. We also have to mention the banana fosters cheesecake for dessert--it was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Rich, flavorful, and something we would come back for on its own. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and standout service. Between Chef Frankie's incredible cooking and Aubrey's attentive service, this steakhouse is definitely a place we will return to and highly recommend

I was craving a good steak and came across this casual, laid back steakhouse. After reading several…read morereviews praising their beer cheese and pretzels, I knew I had to find out for myself. I made a reservation, but when I arrived, only a few people were sitting at the bar, so I practically had the entire dining room to myself. Phyre is located on a quiet street just steps away from St. Cloud City Hall. The décor features black velvet booths, black chairs, and marble tables. It isn't fancy, but it has a cool, modern vibe. They even had a huge Christmas tree still on display, decorated in preparation for the Fourth of July, which definitely caught my attention. Allie was my host and server, and she was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. Every restaurant needs a Allie. She was amazing! If Phyre management reads this, she needs a raise. I mean absolutely wonderful service! I started with what they call the "Our Fashion" cocktail and their famous pretzels served with beer cheese . The cocktail was enjoyable, and I can see why the pretzels get so much attention. They were soft, warm, and fresh. I would have preferred a little less salt, but then again, it wouldn't really be a pretzel. The cheese sauce could have been hotter, but it was flavorful and paired well with the pretzels. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf featuring filet medallions, three crab-stuffed shrimp, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, which I appreciated. The filet medallions were cooked to a perfect medium and had a nice slight crisp on the outside, although they weren't quite as hot as I would have liked. It was served towith a delicious wine sauce that really elevated the dish. The crab stuffed shrimp were flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were a great complement to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday dinner at Phyre. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food delivered a satisfying steakhouse experience. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

First, the portion sizes are incredible, which is not always the case at KBBQ spots. I was always impressed about the amounts that came to the table with each order. The only 'small' portion was the veggie tray, which felt odd, but was okay in the end, since you can merely order more. For apps, I didn't love the gyoza, it was good, but wasn't the best I've ever had. The cheese corn, however, was a hit with our table. If you've never had any, this is an easy recommendation - it's quite tasty and easy to eat. For meat, wow, we loved so many of the options. The one I would skip was the pork belly, it wasn't super flavorful compared to the other options.

Some hot green tea and boba tea gave us some refreshing moments while we decide it on our menu item. We tried various plates including the pho, spicy beef soup, seafoods sauté as pork dumplings. All items were cooked perfectly the taste of each was solid and the layers are so marked. The pho is rich. Clean broth. With enough flavor to not envy any restaurant on mills. The dumplings were super tasty and well made. The spicy beef soup really adds the most traditional of the flavors to them. It was Rich's and flavorful, with all the goodies. The new management has made them a ir de welcoming and traditional. There are various tvs showcasing the food in Vietnam and the various regions. So esthetic. The colors are subtle and soft. You really feel the light and the colors through their various windows. Will definitely come back.

The service was genuinely friendly, the restaurant was clean and nicely decorated, and our host was attentive and helpful. The food also came out quickly, which we appreciated. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5--the dishes could've used a bit more seasoning. Everything was good, just slightly on the mild/bland side. Not a deal breaker, but noticeable. That said, we enjoyed it and will definitely be back to give it another try.

Lunch was included as part of the Airboat ride, we were all hungry after and had an OK meal here…read more The worst part was almost everything was over-salted and what would have been a good burger and fries was ruined by the overly generous dosing of salt. For future customers I would order with no salt and add to your own taste. The potato salad also had something like sour cream and onions added to it that was too strong in flavor and we only had a couple bites before throwing the rest away. You order at the gift shop which is nice and air conditioned but you eat in an enclosed outdoor space with a fan. Pulled Pork Sandwich: The beans I got as sides were really good, the bun was a nice soft brioche and you can choose your toppings so I added lettuce and pickles to help cut some of the saltiness. It's a pretty meat-packed sandwich and tasted fine. Hot Dog: This was a lot bigger than normal and perfect for our kids to split. Tasted great.

I believe you can order food here without having tickets to the airboat rides (but double-check that before you come). You order inside at the gift shop at a cash register. They have menus right by the line to check out the menu before ordering. The woman at the register was nice. We settled on ordering BLTs and ribs. I'm a huge BLT fan, and this one was really good! The ribs were also good. They supply a few different types of bbq sauce, and they each were good, but I preferred the spicy one. Also, the BLTs were really big, and you can easily split them between two people. We sat outside, which was the only seating option. It was an indoor/outdoor space, but open so let's say plenty of bugs were flying around. I would eat here again if we were coming to do the airboat tour.
