When Oakwood opened on 441/27 near or in Lady Lake they had been in business for several years in Leesburg. Burke's obviously does not have the experience and it shows. They are using the wood fired pit method. "What folks do not realize is that to gain speed or VOLUME you lose something else----it seems everyone wants high volume, faster production.". This is message is right on the front of their menu. This explains to some degree their "start up" problems and why they have been unable to handle the large volume of customers. We have been there twice and both times they were out of pulled pork. I see others have had the same issue of no food prepared. Staff are really trying....... But if you dont have the advertised product when a customer is there to purchase-----you have unhappy customers. Most are willing to overlook the "bugs" of a start up restaurant but not for long.
