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 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!

For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.

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!!!

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.

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 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.
