I guess it's been quite a long time since I talked about this place. I don't get to come here often…read moreenough because I'm just not in the area so much anymore. When I am nearby and I'm hungry though it's worth stopping to have a bite to eat. I took a friend to an appointment nearby and had time to kill so I came for lunch. The place looks almost exactly the same as it did the first time I came here. They are right near a train stop and there is one accessible space outside the building. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but it is limited. The menu here has changed a little bit over the years, but they still have all the Chicago favorites that I enjoy. I've never had a problem with anything. I have had to eat here and that does keep me coming back. The people that work here are always friendly and they strive to make sure you get a good meal. And this occasion I wanted something a little different so I ordered a polish sausage Chicago style without tomatoes because I can't have them. The bond did fall apart a bit more than I like, but my meal was excellent. They always have very tasty french fries. I have tried several things over the years and feel confident and recommending their entire menu. And of course, if you are looking for a pizza puff, then this is one of the few places you can find them around the Orlando area. If you're looking for a good Chicago style, hot dog or Polish or any hotdog this is the local stop. They use genuine Vienna, beef products, which always brings the taste of home for me. They make an excellent Italian beef sandwich and have really good giardiniera.

Quite frankly, we decided to dine here based purely on the name of the restaurant…read more We ordered the street polish and The Godfather with spicy peppers, messy dog and jalapeño poppers. The hot dog was tasty and the bun was pillowy soft (way better than store bought!)

The food here is SO good! You can tell it's hand-crafted, all the meat is pulled-to-order and it…read moredefinitely shows! Sides were so good, the collards were exceptional. The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests. Having been in the food service industry, I can relate to the job and know what it takes. They all have IT, and Big John's is lucky to have them! The atmosphere was perfect. I prefer outdoor seating, and the outside patio area was as clean as the inside. Makes it really easy to stay a while! ;) Overall, this establishment exemplifies what dining SHOULD be. Keep up the great work guys and ladies, you have a new lifelong customer here, no doubt about it!

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!!

Abracadabra Ice Cream is next level ice cream. Have you ever wanted to see Molecular Gastronomy in…read moreaction? At Abracadabra they make your ice cream in front of you in a metal bowl, with Liquid Nitrogen. My favorite has always been Funky Monkey! The Vanilla ice cream mixed with fresh bananas, toasted walnuts and nutella is the perfect blend! I was also hungry so I ordered the empanadas! They were so delicious, and I was so surprised how good they tasted. The filling was as if your Mom cooked the filling! It had such great flavor. I could have used a bit of hot sauce, but standing alone it was excellent! They were so good and so reasonably priced, I bought four more to take to work and share. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Eros was the person who made my ice cream and he was so helpful and personable. I'll need to go back soon because I want to try more flavors!

They make the flavors for you right there with liquid nitrogen, which was pretty cool. I got the funky monkey, which was banana, Nutella, and I think nuts. It was really good!!! There is a great outdoor seating area with bounce houses. You get a free hour of jumping if you buy a kids ice cream. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it is really HOT inside. We were completely sweaty from being in there for only 10 minutes to order and get our ice cream. I guess it's fine because it was nice outside, which is where all the seating is.

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!

We were greeted as soon as we approached the window. I ordered a small Butter Pecan Sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream & cherry, which includes 2 scoops of ice cream.

I had a coupon, which was honored, but the cool thing is I received another coupon at checkout for a return visit! All their ice cream is made fresh there daily ans they have vegan/non dairy options. I saw a sign that says on Thursdays, you can BYOB (bring your own banana) and get half off a banana split! Daniella was super sweet and got our order ready in a timely fashion. Loved the ice cream!
