So best ribs between Lees, Palms, Talk of the Town? Each a little different and I ate them all. Cant go wrong with any of them tastewise. Personally, I prefer Mark's Place for Ribs or Rosie's on Mullet Bay. Lee's are ok most of the time, not a fan of any of the lolos and while Palms gets good reviews, I am not a fan of spareribs as I prefer baby back ribs. I have had other dishes at Palms that I did enjoy, lasagna and meatloaf to name a couple. Sounds like you are making the rounds. If you have never tried Mark's Place, give it a shot, great variety, good prices and portions and they take credit cards.

We went to Lee's at the old location in 2017, mainly because the ribs were heavily touted. They were extremely dry and that's all i remember about them, as was my wife's chicken. We could see them piled up on the grill on the way in, and it was early, so i think we got the ones cooked ahead and way too long. I hate to bad mouth them, as they've had their struggles. We loved atmosphere and probably caught them on a bad night so i may have to try them again.

One thing that concerns me with what you posted is when I see raw chicken placed over already cooked foods. I always take a look at places that have the grill where one can see it to look for this. I am not saying lee's does this but when food is held in a grill to be kept warm, it is a concern.

I don't particularly remember if i saw the chicken on the grill or not, but the ribs where kind of piled up to one side. I'm assuming if we went later there would be more turn over and i would have gotten fresher ribs.

i don't know if location has so much to do with it, as other restaurants have moved and still get the same reviews, such as one that just moved to the lagoon. I didn't give them a scathing review, just my experience, just like everyone else. i actually liked it there, and said it was probably an off night and will try again. Sorry i drew a flag.

Other than location and probably some help, not much has changed with regard to Lee's. Some love it and it is not for others. No foul.

That is ridiculous. The poster clearly stated it was from 2017. If they weren't happy with it, they should tell everyone.

A lot of changes can happen in 3 years in a restaurant, especially after rebuilding after that monster Irma. I can post reviews from restaurants before Irma but why??

Thats good to hear if it is actually monitored...last year when we stayed at Sol Y Mar, which is right above the greenhouse, we were informed we could use that lot,,as well as one up a hill directly above as part of our parking provided for Sol Y Mar.....it was a busy small lot on street level, so we usually had to drive up the hill to park. However, having said that, I didn't really see anyone monitoring it....time will tell.

Good to hear. You in upper lot behind Lee's? PelicanPirate siad: " We arrived just in time for the “last” parking spot by the picnic tables which someone in charge it looked help turn sideways for us." Pretty sure any picnic tables would be beside the restaurant and not up the hill where servers could not attend to them.
