chef john's place

wonderful. we visited chef john's place while on vacation. we were looking for a location that had seafood. chef john's did not disappoint. i had the jumbo grilled shrimp. it was glazed with a sweet sauce that was incredible. my husband had the gumbo and raved about it for days. the portion size is huge and we all left feeling satisfied and full.
it isworththe drive. so good!!

wouldn't even seat us. we had two small kids and they immediately snubbed us. they ignored us an
and said the didn't have a table to seat us. we asked what about the outside seating and they said ok. then we sat for 10 min and nobody came out to serve us. tasteless tasteless wasted a 50 min drive. its notworththe bull s-----t you have to go through. macaroni grill was mich better.

delicious!!. i have to admit we were a little skeptical going into chef johns place but the food was soworthit!! we drove 30min and it wasworthevery mile! we had ahi tuna, shrimp scampi, fish & seafood, crepes, and multiple sides....everything was absolutely delicious! we definitely joined the clean plate club on this dinner! recommend it to everyone.

far from good. we saw the previous reviews and decided we would give it a try. it was mediocre at best. it took over 45 minutes for us to get our food. we ordered the pull pork and ribs so you would expect that they were smoked before hand so what took so long???
the meat was okay, nothing specular but the sides were terrible. we ordered fried okra, creole rice, green beans and sweet potato fries. the sides came in disposable plastic cups. they just looked terrible. then the fries were over cooked. the rice had little flavor when we expected something spicy. the okra was okay but the sauce/dip was not very good. and the green beans was more a cut up mixture of vegetables. oh, we had corn bread and it was dry. we can get better corn bread and rice at popeyes.

our total meal was $50.

overall we would never go back. just notworthour time nor the money.

great food! really good service. a bit out of the way butworththe drive. i had the rib eye and my partner had the grouper. fresh! amazing and yummy!

we really enjoyed our meal here. the gumbo is a must! i had the shrimp salad and it was wonderful. if in kissimmee this iswortha visit.
