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!!

AMBIANCE = 3 The outdoor seating was our choice and it was pleasant. We went through the inside to be seated on the outside. Inside look good but dark interior. 2. FOOD/DRIINKS = 3 The food was good. I had the 4 sandwich sampler platter. Dry but the sauces provided help improve things. 3. SERVICE = 3 Ike our waiter was attentive and timely. 4. BATHROOM = 3 Clean and maintained. 5. PRICING = 2 The total cost of meal was $60 for two. I had two beers and my wife had ice tea. I gave an $11.00 tip. I note this every time in this section. Inflation of 2022 and 2023 created a new normal. Labor in the form of pushing the so called living wage and material. If you plan to eat out expect to pay more than one should. 6. OBSERVATION I enjoyed the meal and service was good. It was raining and we had covering. Though there was some dripping. Needed to adjust the table. I would not dissuade anyone from eating here. 7. POINTS 14 out of 25 points 20 to 25 = Exceeds expectations = NA 10 to 19 = Meets expectations = 14 0 to 9 = Does not meet expections = NA

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!

I was hunting down the famous tripleta sandwich and stumbled upon an even better creation called the mofongopleta which sounded even more glutinous and delicious but also more healthy.

While we occupied one of their tables, I decided I should order some food, and went inside. The line was long, and slow. Very slow. The holdup in the line was at the fountain drink spot, maybe by design to not overwhelm the food pickup area, or maybe not. After finally reaching the food, I got their Smokehouse Sampler, their largest offering that I would share with the others in my group. By this time it was wet but not raining, and we were anxious to get to the next attraction. I grabbed some of the brisket, which was fatty, and one of the ribs. Was there BBQ sauce at the condiment spot? I was eating fast and was not appreciating the food, not even noticing the BBQ aspect. The place served its purpose by giving us a place to stop while it was raining. I didn't appreciate waiting in their line so long and didn't give the food a chance to impress me.
