Ha ha! I agree! It has been being built for such a long time!

Oakwood is seriously, seriously over rated IMO.

I stopped at Burke's BBQ December 24th sometime just after Noon. I spoke with Mr. Burke as he was tossing more wood into the firebox of the smoker (he is continuing to season the smoker).

I introduced myself and we talked a short while about BBQ in general, his BBQ pit, and the restaurant. He was friendly, but very busy as he is working to get the restaurant opened.

Mr. Burke said he hoped to open in 15 days or so, putting the opening date somewhere around the beginning of the second week of January.

I peeked in the windows and looked around the canopy area where the picnic tables are. I liked the set up and the atmosphere (picnic tables inside and outside). This looks like a serious BBQ joint to me.

So it seems the wait for Burke's BBQ to open is about to be over!

Spot on, Brother!

We like Oakwood. Not for the interior beauty but for the nice sides (love the country cooked green beans and the sweet potatoes) and decent sweet barbecue ribs, always done to my liking.

Spot on, Sister! Seriously, we've had both Oakwood and Woody's, and although we liked both our leanings are toward Oakwood. Was it because Oakwood was our first here in TV when it comes to ribs? Was it because we lived up north on a street named Oakwood for 26 years? I don't know, but I appreciate that fact that some like Oakwood and some like Woody's because simply put... it's nice to have choices and if eveyone only liked one place we wouldn't have the choice. And now we're going to have yet another choice with Burke's! It's all good!

I was past there today,I think the long wait is about over. They are hiring tomorrow and Friday. About time

I predict within a week of opening, that the restaurant basher's on TOTV will have a new thread "New BBQ place is terrible" , "New BBQ place never again".

And the best collard greens around.

Your prediction is more like a fact.

$.50 for extra BBQ sauce??

[marianne237]

I do hope they serve collards or some kind of greens. Growing up, my dad made us kids eat them (or you couldn't leave the table) and I swore I'd never have them as an adult. Now since moving south, greens are a new favorite. I'm sure my dad is laughing at me for saying that.

As a wise man once posted:

"Worse food I have ever eaten, place was filthy and the wait staff terrible ........ best food on the planet, place was spotlessly clean, the wait staff gave me a shoulder massage and carried me to the golf cart ..... everyone should just be ecstatically happy to be living in TV and never question anything.

and so goes anther addition of Restaurant Reviews on TOTV ;-) "

That is so funny and sooo true, LndLocked. Guess it's a good thing we all want and expect different results from restaurants or we'd all be sitting on each others laps!
