It’s your run of the mill north Florida/South Georgia barbecue joint. 7/10, would go again if I was in the area, but not driving out to it.

The meats: very tender, but lacking flavor wise. I would put it ahead of Sea Boar, but behind cross creek and cousin Willie’s. No sliced pork unfortunately, only pulled. My No 1 in the entire state continues to be Ken’s.

The sides: this is where Bono’s really shines, that’s easily some of the best potato salad in Jacksonville (if you like onions in it). Cole Slaw was decent too. The only similar style restaurant I have been to with better sides was Ken’s over in lake city

The toast was toast, nothing noteworthy about it

The tea was very sweet, I got 1/2 and 1/2, and it was still sweeter than what I was raised drinking at home.

The sauces: I liked the original best, but I was disappointed by the lack of mustard or vinegar sauces(that’s just personal preference on my end).

Waitstaff and atmosphere: My waitress was very kind and very attentive. I was one of 3 parties in the restaurant at the time (I went in at 10:45 am). Music selection was solid, AC was comfortable, seat was decently shaped.

Both will probably have the exact same motor powering it

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Not a lot of swamp, but a lot of shallow log jammed rivers

Everything they make, either Ranger or Nitro also offers a version of it. They don’t have nearly as much publicity as other boat brands, partly because of how few teams use them.

The aluminum boat division is dead, they are all sold as Rangers now. The only people that buy them are people that already own them, and that number shrinks by the day.

I feel the urge to embrace that fixed blade life. Both would be used knives, I don’t feel like dropping $170 on a new buck.

Retiring in 6 or so months, I want to just spend my days fishing, hunting, and cleaning what I get. Enjoy my retirement.

My grandparents, both born in the 1880’s, didn’t see a car at all until 1937(although funnily enough, they had seen an airplane during 1911, reportedly they thought it was an Angel).

They never had a drivers license or car, only used horse and buggy or hitched rided until they passed in the 1980’s

My county didn’t get its first gas station until the late 1920’s. And that was only in the county seat.

Their wagon as a reference picture

It was a gift from my grandpa, he bought it around 1960 is what I was told.

If they still keep the tooling and paint, why can’t we buy it?

Has anyone here stayed in both? I can’t find a room layout map. I know the Jessie DuPont has a smaller bed, but it’s just me and my wife.

If you have stayed in both, which did you like better
