The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests. Having been in the food service industry, I can relate to the job and know what it takes. They all have IT, and Big John's is lucky to have them! The atmosphere was perfect. I prefer outdoor seating, and the outside patio area was as clean as the inside. Makes it really easy to stay a while! ;) Overall, this establishment exemplifies what dining SHOULD be. Keep up the great work guys and ladies, you have a new lifelong customer here, no doubt about it!

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!!

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE BOOKING…read more Chef Kelvin Catering is an absolute scam artist. My bridal party booked with Kelvin for my bachelorette party in Jan 2025 for a special treat to me as the bride. The day before we arrived in Kissimmee for our trip, Kelvin canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. Obviously bummed but we understood that things happen and obviously Kelvin might have had an emergency and could not work our event that we looked forward to. But when he kept posting his work and posting on social media that seemed not the case. We obviously expected a full refund for what we paid for the service after if was canceled. This man dodged calls and texts for weeks until finally paying us back SOME of what was owed to us but now is refusing to give back our deposit. Remind you he canceled on us less than 24 hours before the event. Kelvin now made over 200 dollars on canceling an event. This is wrong and unfair. IF YOU WANT TO BE SCAMMED OUT OF YOUR MONEY feel free to book with Kelvin.

This place was incredible. Everyone was so welcoming--they took the time to use our names, and…read moregenuinely thanked us throughout our visit. You can tell it's a true family-run business, with three different generations working behind the counter, which made the experience even more special. I love supporting family-owned spots like this, and it was even better connecting with people who share faith--it felt like more than just a meal. The sandwich itself was amazing. The bread was soft, the meats were top-quality, and everything tasted fresh. You can really taste the care they put into their food. What stood out most was the personal touch--they remembered all of our names and made sure to say goodbye to each of us before we left. Great food, great people, and a true home-style atmosphere. Five stars--highly recommend.

Everything is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are next level. He works together beautifully with his wife who makes awesome desserts. It is a full service experience from start to finish--preparing a menu, cooking food on site at your home, and then they take care of all the clean up when it's over. Not only is Chef Al an amazing chef, but he also is a pleasure to talk to, he's engaging, and he's happy to answer questions. Our kids love him too! If you're looking for an amazing private chef to deliver the ultimate luxurious dining experience, look no further. Chef Al is your guy!

WOW what an incredible dinner experience!…read more We provided Chef Al with a rough idea of our dinner preferences along with a couple food allergies and he created a stunning menu in no time. He was also able to make adjustments as needed. The private dinner was absolutely phenomenal and delicious. Chef Al is no ordinary chef, you can tell he has some upscale culinary training and experience. The food was so delicious we didn't want to stop eating lol. Ahi with an incredible soy orange glaze over crispy wontons and Chilean sea bass cooked to perfection were just a couple of the highlights from our dinner. Chef Al is so great this was actually the second time we booked him! And his encore was just as incredible as the first private dinner he did for us last year. Super friendly and professional - would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for the perfect private dinner experience.

To our disbelief why would he wait till the day of the holiday to buy the food. Needless to say we had to revise our Thanksgiving dinner and and all the guests we invited, some traveling from outside the state because the Chef had no food prepared except an uncooked turkey. This is one of the most unprofessional events that can occur when you are having a dinner party for guests. We luckily found fresh market opened and now we are cooking the entire Thanksgiving meal for our guests ourselves. We are expecting a full refund of our deposit

He proceeded to serve us some bland toasts, a salad that was probably from a bag, and something called a "borg" with "wild game meat" and tiny beef meatballs. The main flavor that carried throughout was salt. He told us there was a dessert that needed two hours to set that looked like vomit. After the "borg" was served he slunk off into the night, grifting us out of a solid chunk of change.
