Kamris C.

Granny's Southern Smokehouse was just that ... Smokey flavor with the perfect amount of sweetness with the sauce. I really enjoyed my meal. I was very impressed with the food portion for lunch as well as the hotness of the food and flavor. I placed an order for pickup not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. I'm so happy that I searched up lunch in my area and found this gem. The service was quick over the phone and I was greeted by a nice young lady at the register. The ambiance is nice as it gives an old country feel, my preference is always too sit outside but if you prefer inside there's plenty of seating. I might come back tomorrow as I stated the food was really good. Kudos to the chef and staff for such excellent service :-)

Great Bbq place. Lots of barbecues to chose from. Small mom and pop family owned. Not crowded at all and lots of parking space.

Well we moved to the area and wanted some Country eating and found Granny's. Well I have to tell you it felt like we were right at home. The outside is welcoming with a grill with a smoker attached to it. You're able to either sit inside or outside to eat. They have multiple entrees and size to choose from which was very appealing. Then we go over to my sweets and honestly they had a variety to choose from so we ended up getting one of each. The Banana pudding and the Strawberry Shortcake (homemade) was the best. Now the fried Oreos were the only item we didn't get. The quality and quantity of the food was very decent. Well I can say we found our first restaurant that we will be eating from since we just moved here in St. Cloud Florida. Wait the welcoming we received when we first walked in was so sweet and heart filling.

If you're looking for the best BBQ around, Granny's Southern Smokehouse is it. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The meats were tender and smoky, and the portions were generous--but the real standout was the corn. It was seriously out of this world and easily the best side on the table. Service was friendly and quick, and the whole place had a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Definitely a spot I'd come back to anytime I'm craving real Southern BBQ.

If you're craving true Southern BBQ, Granny's Southern Smokehouse ! this spot delivers! We enjoyed the BBQ ribs, pulled pork, and chicken--all smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The sides were just as impressive: crispy fried green tomatoes, creamy mac and cheese, perfectly fried okra, and sweet, savory baked beans that tied everything together. Every bite tasted homemade and comforting. A real Southern feast worth coming back for!

This hole in a wall is definitely a hidden gem that you don't want to miss. From the white picket fence out front to the blue and white checkered tablecloths inside, you definitely feel like you are back in your granny's kitchen. You are immediately greeted by employees and made to feel right at home. I had the pulled pork, corn on the cob and green beans. My partner had the pulled beef and fried pickles. So good!

Warm, tasty, and great portion sizes. The family was raving about the food days after eating. The cheese curds are well made, as were the hush puppies. The baked beans had that smoky, bbq flavor and the ribs were seasoned to perfection. If you're looking for good southern food, this is it. We also ordered a guava cheesecake for dessert and I cannot emphasize just how delicious it was. Whoever's making these desserts is just as talented as the cooks making the food at Jimmy Bear's.

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!

The house-made chips and dipping sauce were a great addition. I also loved reading the story behind the restaurant. You can tell this is a family-run place where a lot of care and passion goes into the food and the experience. Great food, great story, and a place I'd definitely come back to. Highly recommend the Cuban!

They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.

My focus with this review is what I remember most about this place. It is not the food, though that…read morewas very good. The brisket and the salad bar, an increasing rarity, were both great. It was not the value, though with the daily special of one meat with a salad bar and the kids eat free add-on deal, the value was outstanding at a little more than $20 for three of us (all in). It was not the facility, though that was quite comfortable and clean. It was not the location, though that was easy to find and very navigable with easy parking. The thing that stood out were the people. Specifically, the person who took my order was probably the nicest person I've ever met as a worker in a restaurant that I've visited. Our grandson had fallen asleep in the car and my wife stayed put with him to let him sleep. She was not particularly hungry anyway and just asked me to bring her something small. The special with salad bar, brisket and drink did the job nicely as I could eat the salad and save the brisket for my wife (perhaps sneaking one strip of it for myself). But the person waiting on us offered to let me have the kids meal free even though my grandson was not inside with me. It turned out he woke up and they came in a few minutes later and she offered my wife and our grandson both free drinks while they were there. She offered my wife a trip to the salad bar on the house as well for being a good sport to stay with our grandson while he slept. When I thanked her for all of this, she mentioned that she tried to be kind to everyone. She said that it cost her nothing to do so. I told her that was true but at the same time, it was priceless. Her general demeanor with a constant smile on her face is what I will remember about this place. She clearly belongs in a people-facing job. People still make the ultimate difference and AI can never replace that no matter how sophisticated it gets.

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.
