    Great tasting BBQ that is consistently perfect and alludes are tasty except collards (we like plain collards with pot liquor no extra chopped veggies in the collards) bacon or ham okay.

    1/2 slab, fried okra, collard greens, Carolina Pig sandwich (pork, pickles, slaw, jalapeños); could sub garlic bread for regular bun.

    More like a 2.5. Good but not amazing. Meats were well cooked but under seasoned. Collards were fine but not flavorful. Carolina Pig sandwich was good but again needed more flavor. Their mustard sauce is good but other sauces were just ok; nothing outstanding. Would I go back? Yeah probably cause it's close to the house. Would I highly recommend? Probably not, Granny's Southern Smokehouse is better.

    Excellent food find! I had a late lunch here, with a colleague, both of us are from out of town. I feel like there was something for everyone on the menu, food was delicious, and service was very friendly. I had the cheeseburger special with fries and a drink ($9.50), my friend had a Cuban, and we split fried pickles. You order at the counter, pay, grab your drinks, and the food is brought to your table. It happened very fast for us, and was very hot and fresh. There was plenty of seating, it was quiet and it was clean. We were there at about 4pm on a Thursday. I was very pleasantly surprised with the prices and quality.

    We arrived after a long day working in the area. I wanted something quick to eat before we got back on the road to head for home. We heard about this BBQ joint near us so we decided to stop by. Immediately my thoughts were, "Aww, this place looks pretty homey." What I mean is I can probably enjoy it, the picnic tables reminded me of a backyard BBQ. The smell from behind the counter was great, the menu looked great, the service was great, but what I can deal without is the amount of flies in the restaurant. The food arrived to our table in a timely matter, our food looked great, but I couldn't really enjoy it because I kept having to shew all the flies from my food, my bbq sauce, and my table. It was really annoying! I ate as much as I could, as fast as I could, and we immediately left. My suggestion to help assist with this problem, cover all the food items behind the counter. Have covers for the BBQ sauce on the table and use a natural cleaner often to all areas. I didn't understand why there were so many flies in the restaurant. I think it would be safe to say, it would've probably been better to eat outside.

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!

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!!

You can really tell the kitchen takes pride in the quality of the ingredients and preparation. Huge kudos to Chef Frankie for delivering such a phenomenal meal. Everything from the steak to the sides was well executed and beautifully presented. Our server, Aubrey, was fantastic and truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu without ever making us feel rushed. Her service made the evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. We also have to mention the banana fosters cheesecake for dessert--it was absolutely amazing and the perfect way to end the meal. Rich, flavorful, and something we would come back for on its own. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and standout service.

    I was craving a good steak and came across this casual, laid back steakhouse. After reading several…read morereviews praising their beer cheese and pretzels, I knew I had to find out for myself. 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.

    Lunch was included as part of the Airboat ride, we were all hungry after and had an OK meal here…read more The worst part was almost everything was over-salted and what would have been a good burger and fries was ruined by the overly generous dosing of salt. For future customers I would order with no salt and add to your own taste. The potato salad also had something like sour cream and onions added to it that was too strong in flavor and we only had a couple bites before throwing the rest away. You order at the gift shop which is nice and air conditioned but you eat in an enclosed outdoor space with a fan. Pulled Pork Sandwich: The beans I got as sides were really good, the bun was a nice soft brioche and you can choose your toppings so I added lettuce and pickles to help cut some of the saltiness.

I believe you can order food here without having tickets to the airboat rides (but double-check that before you come). You order inside at the gift shop at a cash register.

The ribs were also good. They supply a few different types of bbq sauce, and they each were good, but I preferred the spicy one. Also, the BLTs were really big, and you can easily split them between two people. We sat outside, which was the only seating option. It was an indoor/outdoor space, but open so let's say plenty of bugs were flying around. I would eat here again if we were coming to do the airboat tour.
