As for the food, the ribs though advertised as incredibly tender were good but didn't quite live up to the hype. They weren't tough, but they also weren't that "falling-off-the-bone" kind of tender many rib I look for. The baked beans were solid and flavorful enough to complement the meal. The fried okra had a great crisp texture, clearly fried with care, but it was missing any noticeable seasoning, which made it feel a bit flat flavor-wise. Overall, Big Doon's offers a friendly atmosphere and satisfying comfort food, though the kitchen could take the flavor up a notch to match the warmth of the service.

I ordered a sugar free caramel & white chocolate frapp with almond milk and a scoop of egg salad. Both were delicious!!! They also have Lotus energy drinks which are my husband's favorite, but are a little difficult to find in this area of the country. They are more popular out west. My husband travels to this area of Alabama for work frequently and I cannot wait to come back.

They have daily specials, so if you're looking to save money, check those out. I especially like their onions rings, potato salad and baked beans as sides for something different besides fries. The pulled pork is always a winner. Service is fair and ambiance is a typical bbq place. Pro Tip: Ask for an extra sauce on the side (or two). If you like a saucy sandwich, you're gonna need it!

A hidden gem!!!!…read more Jennie's is a great place for breakfast and lunch. I have been going here for years now. A very welcoming atmosphere and you always get to meet Jennie and Lee. Plenty of options on the menu with a few twists from the normal menus. Could not decide on what I wanted so I ordered three different burgers. Glad I ordered them with fried eggs. I was definitely full after that. They also have a good selection of hot dog with an interesting selection for toppings. I recommend the bacon dog with pimento cheese. That's the stuff!!! Enjoy!!!!

For dinner I had the Gumbo and my girlfriend had the salad with shrimp, crab, and crawfish. The gumbo was seasoned excellently and tasted just how I make it at home in like 7 hours. My girlfriend's salad was amazing with the homemade ranch. We came in late and the service was still top notch. Finished off with banana pudding and my girlfriend said it was the best she's ever had. We were just in town for the weekend but to anyone looking for a place, do it!

Two weeks ago I had a salad with blackened grouper fish. My daughter has tried and I've sampled the seafood quesadillas and it too was good. Each meal is cooked fresh to order and worth the wait. Food, service and ambiance are all worth the visit so give them a try and you will go back!!

Today I decided to do a random food pick on Uber Eats and I stumbled on Wylam Wings & Things. I was…read morelike hmmm never heard of them so I looked it up and food actually looked pretty good. I read a ton of reviews on Google Reviews after seeing they had a 3.9/5 stars. So I said it can't be that bad. On top of the bad reviews I noticed the owner had commented back to a lot of them and it was very rude and unprofessional comments and taking no ownership. A few of the bad reviews even said in them that the owner was very unprofessional. I also noticed from looking at my food and the food other people ordered, it's clear as day that there is no consistency whatsoever. With that being said let's get into what I ordered. Disclaimer: majority of the food showed up soggy due to the delivery and the driver delivered other food before mine but the food still showed up very hot and ahead of schedule so I'm not holding that against them. First up the Chicken & Waffles: Waffle was extremely bland and very tough. I chewed it for awhile before I was able to swallow it. That waffle took all the moisture out of my mouth I ran to grab a bottle of water. Chicken was okay decently seasoned but tasted like they only used salt. 6/10 I ordered a 4 piece Buffalo wings but what I received is a 4 and a half order of "Buffalo wings". On top of that they tasted like they were dunked in hot sauce and had a strong sour flavor. These were not Buffalo wings. You can even see where the butter separated from the sauce. The wings were worse than Little Caesars wings. 4/10 Chili cheese dog tasted like bologna and the chili itself tasted like a blander version of Hormel canned chili. 5/10 The Cheeseburger was rough it was clearly a processed frozen patty like you'd get out of a prison commissary vending machine or a school lunch cafeteria. It was a dry tire mess. 3/10 Lastly the cheese fries. I actually spit this out. The fries were soggy and not seasoned and the cheese was extremely sour it was clearly old cheese or just the worst cheapest brand of cheese you can buy or both. 0/10. I also ordered Tacos and I did not even get them. So on top of trash food I am missing food that I paid for. Will not try this again.

We walked in and the restaurant wasn't even busy, but it took almost 15 minutes just for someone to acknowledge us and take our order.After waiting another 35 minutes, our food finally came out lukewarm. To make it worse, the staff looked like they couldn't care less and were completely disorganized behind the counter. For a brand new location in an old Pizza Hut building, you'd think management would make sure employees are properly trained. Absolutely terrible service and a total waste of time. Save your money and go somewhere else.
