Update: Per press release (bottom of this article) the restaurant will open in early December.
He also told us his family is from Mississippi, so that may give a hint as to the style of barbecue for those who are really into it.
After the results of our Chinese restaurant survey, we had to try Bamboo Wok. We did the other day and liked it. While there we saw Stallone’s, and we hope to go there soon for a full review.
We also noticed that a new restaurant will be opening in that plaza. As you can see in the above picture, there are signs up about a Sweet Dewey’s BBQ coming soon.
We tried to research this place and came up empty. We know nothing about it. If any of our readers have information about Sweet Dewey’s, such as when it will open or what the menu will be like, please post a comment or let us know.
Bamboo Wok, Stallone’s, and the soon to be Sweet Dewey’s are on the north side of Glades Road just west of Lyons (across from Boca Ale House).

Chef Hooper is a graduate of the Washburne Culinary Institute in Chicago and has lived in South Florida for 27 years, starting as a chef in Boca Raton’s Casa Vecchia, La Vielle Maison and Down Under.

One of our many favorite dishes is his Rack of Veal.”
