A: I was w/ my Korean mother-in-law, looking to try this newly opened Korean restaurant. She heard from a friend that the place served a pretty good lunch special... she begged to differ. I know she sets the bar pretty high when it comes to Korean comfort food, she's been cooking it all her life for her family and her restaurant. So with that in mind... she was not a happy camper. There was a lot more misses than hits and I agreed... it was just subpar. Service: was subpar. We repeatedly asked our waters to be filled. I would understand if they were busy, but the restaurant was barely half-filled. When we asked for a little more banchan, Mr. Server only came back with a small plate of kimchii. =/ Food: was just okay. We ordered several lunch specials. Portions were smaller than what we had anticipated although the presentation was pretty. (See pix) Prices: pricey. Korean food is not cheap by any means. Since prepping includes washing and rinsing and chopping and mixing and rinsing summo and squeezing... I know the drill. I've served as a prep-er under my kimchii-mama-in-law's direction. So the amount of work that goes in every dish is crucial to making an delectable meal. The quality at Korean Garden BBQ house is lacking luster, lacking flavor, and lacking overall yumminess. I didn't see how much lunch racked up to be, but I suppose it didn't add up to the kind of lunch she didn't think was worth paying for what she did. She was saying a whole bunch of Korean words about the place I didn't understand that didn't seem forthcoming at all. Overall we have experienced better and it's one of those "first and last" categories we shall place this under.
Q: negative

A: Nothing special. I had two of the pre-configured dogs. standard. The texan & the Baja. The star rating description says exactly what I felt. meh. The dog itself was nicely cooked. Crisp skin, tasty, but small. The bun was fresh. The toppings were uneventful. In order for them to warrant the prices they charge, their dogs would have to be better than the others I've eaten. I'll give them another shot someday. Maybe try their perogies and configure my own toppings.

Answer: We eat at Jim N Nick's once or twice a month. They have great BBQ pulled pork and excellent beef brisket. All of their food is from scratch and its obvious when you taste it that it's not mass produced. True they are a chain and not a stand alone mom and pop, but it doesn't matter because they do it from scratch and they do it well. Notable sides are their 3 cheese homemade mac n cheese- reheats well, so take it home if there's any left ; ) and their collard greens are excellent- a little spicy with decent sized chunks of meat. Their hand battered chicken tenders are pretty good too if you aren't in the mood for BBQ. Lemonade is light and sweet and well balanced without being cloying. Finally they have fresh made pies, so far we've tried the coconut cream, the chocolate, and the pecan. All have been great. Highly recommend.

output: I have been here several times in the, dare I say, several weeks, too hot to cook. The food has always been very good and served in a decent time. The first time I came in service was slow, but I have not seen that waiter since and have had no problems since. I will continue going there, highly recommend it to anyone.

Answer:
Pros: + Design inside the restaurant + Patio: fire pit, water wall, umbrellas, heaters + Brunch served 'til 4pm on weekends Cons - Coffee is badbadbad - Inconsistent food quality - Super pulpy mimosas (maybe a 'pro' for pulp lovers? Their opinions don't count though; who likes pulp?) Getting out of bed after most places had stopped serving brunch two days in a row led to two consecutive brunches at Province last weekend. Which was good because now I know that it wasn't just one off day they had on Saturday, but that it's a genuinely mediocre brunch option. Coffee that was served was cold the first visit, burnt and bitter the second. Being poured the bottom of the pitcher led to grounds floating in my mug. Whatev, it happens. But the server not saying anything--or fixing it--was disappointing. Mushroom/goat cheese omelet was fine. Actually, pretty good. Dressing on the side salad was great & the tomatoes were super fresh (salad was better than the omelet). Benedict on visit 2 was really, really disappointing. English Muffins used as the base were great but that's where the positives end. The sauce was too thick, had very little flavor and there was way too much of it. Over-cooked poached eggs really piss me off. As a cook or a server it's painfully obvious when eggs are overdone. No jiggle? Don't serve them. Sadly, two completely solid eggs were put on my plate. Cut into them, took the solid top off like a lid to show the completely solid center and pushed them aside on the plate. Again, server said nothing. He got the pancakes on visit #1 and chorizo tacos on #2. Plate was cleaned both times, so they couldn't have been that bad. It's possible I'd go back, but only on a beautiful day to enjoy the patio and possibly try the mini churros.
