“My family was visiting from Ohio and found this place. We were very impressed with the service and food. We tried the ribs and pulled pork, with sides of Mac n cheese, baked beans, and fries. Little one got grilled cheese. We have zero complaints. The free donut, cinnamon and sugar, included with your meal was also delicious. Donut was fresh and made in front of you. We also got to meet the owner, who personally came to ask us how the BBQ food we ordered was and provided the orgin of how the idea become reality. Highly recommend a visit!“

“Had a delicious lunch today for my birthday at Smokemade Meats and Eats. You will find this restaurant right off of Crystal Lake in an old Pizza Hut building. When you walk in, simple tables and chairs, a menu written on brown paper taped to the glass blocking the food, a corner area with paper plates, plastic cutlery, igloo with water and take out containers. There are also some picnic benches outside. The table ordered one brisket sandwich, one pulled pork sandwich, half pound brisket, medium mac and cheese, medium potato salad and banana pudding. There were two types of barbecue sauce on the table. One was a spicier vinegar and the other was a sweeter mustard. My husband would have really liked the vinegar base but it had no thickness like traditional sauce. We ended up using the sweeter mustard. It was good. The sliced brisket needed no sauce. It had an amazing bark, it was moist and tasty. The pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were equally good. A huge stand out was the amazing macaroni and cheese. I took a bite and said "oh, this is delicious". I really liked the potato salad as well but it is more of a sour cream base with dill versus a mustard or mayonnaise based salad. Both of the side items were made fresh in-house. I could literally come just for the sides. I really wanted to try the zucchini and tomato salad but we didn't get it this time. Oh, the sliced bread that comes when you buy a half pound was really soft and good. It was not that traditional Wonder bread that some places throw on the tray. The banana pudding ended the meal. I did not try it but heard it was good. We were greeted enthusiastically and everyone was friendly. Enjoy!“

“Just called Rivers Lakeland to place a pick up order. Man answered the phone. Stated they don't take orders by phone have to do online. Told him I tried that wouldn't work. Said that's how they do take out. I've been going to 4 Rivers for years. Was ordering for six people over $100. Told him I'll find some place else to order from. Won't be back.“

“Amazing hot pot highly recommend coming here to check it out. New items added to the menu such as à la cart items. And service is great.“

“This was the best food ever! The service was great and Ty at the register was very helpful! I will be visiting again on my next trip as I am from out of town.“

“This place is hidden inside a little gas station. The portions are generous! The ribs are fall off the bone with some of the best bbq sauce evah! Finger licking for sure! The brisket was moist and smoked perfectly! Now let’s talk sides....collard greens are smokey and delicious, Mac n cheese is on point! I can’t wait to get for sum chicken and key lime cake! 😋“

“very good food will be a constant repeat customer for many many years. keep up the good work. I would rate 5 star all day.“

“Very clean and great foods. Do all you can eat. It's worth it. I left the restaurant very full.“

“I’m from Philadelphia PA and just moved here to Orlando. I think these are some of the best juiciest tender ribs I’ve ever ever had!!!!“

“I'm from TX and know BBQ quite well. If I say this business is the REAL deal, I probably didn't give it enough credit. This place is 🔥. Great service, down home feel, and the food.... WOW. If you get to or are in Orlando Florida, stop by; you won't be disappointed. I'll have to get some dessert next time.“

“Great service, great food“

“Excellent food and amazing people… You will not go wrong at this BBQ location… 5**** The Best!!“

“Once you navigate through the various rules associated with the all-you-can-eat menu (explained by the server), be prepared for some awesome Korean/Sushi cuisine! Come hungry to get the most bang for the $50 per person. Our group tried a combination of meats and sushi. I gorged myself on tuna nigiri, which was very good. The meats were also excellent. I particularly liked the marinated sirloin. Salad bar and bread selections were good. Our waiter was attentive, which always makes a big difference.“

“Some of thee best food Orlando has to offer!!!“

“It's the great conversation and good vibes that keep on bringing me back! Been to visit multiple times, No disappointments. Chicken and rib flavors are spectacular, If you are looking for dinner portions for the family or just mere sandwich for yourself, this BBQ stand has it all for you!OPEN! Friday and Saturday afternoons. #oliverstastybbq“

“Yum words can’t even explain“

“The food and service is amazing! I always enjoy ordering them from Uber eats. So much flavor and the ribs are delicious and tender! So thankful for them!“

“¡Una experiencia deliciosa! Este restaurante de BBQ combina lo mejor de las parrilladas tradicionales con sabores auténticos. Las carnes estaban perfectamente ahumadas, jugosas y llenas de sabor. Probé el pernil y el brisket. ¡Increíbles! Los acompañamientos como los plátanos maduros, el arroz con frijoles y la ensalada, el plato a la perfección. El ambiente es acogedor, el personal fue muy amable y conocía bien el menú, lo cual se agradece. Sin duda, un lugar al que volveré. Recomendado para quienes quieran disfrutar de una BBQ con un toque único.“

“Well! First time visiting from Puerto Rico we are looking forward to seeing you guys . Me and my family have a excellent service from the guy who attend and the family order uff out of this world 🔥🔥 the bake beans the ribs the chicken the rice everything was delicious! Good bless you 🙏“

“This place is straight fire ?No nonsense. You order by the pound, he asks if you want it chopped, yes or no. You get amazing bbq. Simple.It can look intimidating to some people, but I'm into that sort of thing. Feels authentic. Sometimes you have to take risks to get the best reward.Best cha siu I've had.“

“Yum, Yum, Yum! I was invited to lunch at Papa Diesel's Restaurant on my visit to Apopka, FL. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the entire experience was a treat. A friendly family atmosphere greeted me at the door, with the added touch of care that was immaculately given to every detail. The aroma from the kitchen activated my taste buds, as I stared mesmerized by the extensive menu. Finally, I decided to go for the “Diesel Sampler”. The brisket was so succulent that it melted in my mouth. The ribs fell from the bone with such flavor that no sauce was necessary—the pulled pork I used to sample the homemade sauces. As I was told, the sauces will soon be available in the local supermarkets (as I can attest to becoming a family staple). Needless to say, the sausage, chicken, and sides all met with the same flavorful standards. Ending my meal with a dessert, I enjoyed the peach cobbler and shared a nibble of key lime cake with my date. It was an enjoyable afternoon, sharing special time with loved ones in a loving environment, dining on food prepared by Papa Diesel, who loves to cook for folks, and making them feel at home!“

“100% recommend the Keller’s Lake Mary location. I’ve been eating there for years and most recently had a whole turkey smoked by them for Thanksgiving! It was a complete success and everyone loved it.“

“The BEST BBQ I have had in years. The brisket and pulled pork were extremely tender and flavorful, the baked beans and Mac & cheese were insane, and the red velvet cake was to die for. 10/10 recommend!“

“The food was really good, but a little under-salted. We ordered a lot of skewers at once, and they all came out at the same time, which was our table's mistake. It's probably better to order in small batches, or your skewers will get cold. The servers were nice and able to reheat the skewers for us.“

“Great food and good service!“

“Tony and the staff went out of their way to take care of my party. They were very kind and made sure we got everything we wanted . I would absolutely return to this location. And send everybody I know there.“

“Finally, we don’t have to travel to Atlanta for Korean BBQ spot that has charcoal! The meat quality and selection was amazing and the side dishes were legit Korean offerings! The beef ribs, bulgogi, galbi, steamed eggs, cheese corn, and kimchi are a must! Definitely recommend and will be back!“

“We've been coming here for years. An excellent family owned restaurant, great food, friendly and warm service and atmosphere. We love everything about this place. I love the Galbi combo, includes tender, well marinated grilled beef, seafood tofu soup, several sides dishes and Korean rice. My husband likes the Spicy Pork. We actually tried many dishes and they were all exceptional. We're never disappointed and you won't be either! And the prices are very reasonable too!“

“An unusual location for a restaurant inside an almost abandoned strip mall, but going inside it looks like a Korean bar with the round metal tables. Their menu has some dishes that aren't commonly found. The best dish we tried was the LA galbi. The bibimbap and spicy naengmyeon were just ok. The service was great, prices were very reasonable for generous portions, and the nice ahjumma gave us barley tea. I'd come back to try more dishes.“

“BOGO Wings Mondays!!! Bartender Reese is the best!!“

“Delicious food. Great atmosphere. Fantastic service.“

“Me and family went to Bulgogi House for Happy Hour while visiting for my sister’s graduation. We had a good time as we got to enjoy plenty of beef and the wait staff was so nice. If looking for a Korean BBQ place to visit in Orlando, this is it. Would 10/10 recommend.“

“Shared a wonderful meal with friends at Caffè Positano. We ate outside and enjoyed the fresh air and festive atmosphere. I ordered the salmon with broccoli which was perfectly seasoned and prepared to perfection.

Give Caffè Positano a try. You will not regret it.“

“It was my first time at Mills Market. I tried the 2 entree selection that comes with rice and bok choy. I chose the Honey BBQ char siu pork and the Roast Duck. The char siu was good. The duck was absolutely delicious. I’d definitely order that again.“

“Great food great atmosphere will definitely go again. Food was very delicious“

“We already love Shin Jung, but, sadly, we aren’t there as often as I’d like. The food is fantastic, atmosphere is casual but comfortable and the service is friendly and efficient. I had the Dolsot Bibimbab served in a steaming, sizzling hot pot—beef, mushrooms, sprouts, cucumbers and shredded g carrots and radish. It was delicious on its own but adding the table sauces made it sing. Along with entrees comes a variety of Korean sides as is typical for this cuisine. It included, fish cakes, potato salad, paper thin sliced pickled radish and three Kimchi preparations—classic cabbage, as well as cubes of cucumber and radish. If the food wasn’t enough, our server, Julianna, made our lunch all the more pleasurable with her sweet demeanor and friendly nature. And it wasn’t just us. We watched how she served other diners with the same affable, yet professional treatment. Remember when I said we don’t get there very often? Well, when we walked in, Julianna (without knowing us at all) greeted us like we were regulars coming in for the hundredth time. It’s hard to put a value on that kind of welcoming feeling and it seems to come naturally for her. Thanks Julianna! Highly recommended. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This Volcano Hot Pot and BBQ was the best our family has been too. The service today was impeccable. The food was fresh. The selection was large and they did not rush us or freeze us out. Even when there were some rude patrons, the team worked together to make sure everyone had what they needed. The sweet tea was not diabetic. The food was flavorful. They did not let our paper burn or our soup burn. This is by far was the best hot pot experience we have had yet!“

“YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE. You will not regretted it. Trust me!!The food was amazing. I ordered Conch Lanbi with rice and beans/ salad and Chicken Wings with french fries and macaroni salad. It's alot of food. ???? It fed me, my son and my parents. Everything taste FRESH. I mean Fresh. The salad was firm. Macaroni salad taste perfect. It was enough of the dressing where it is not too much. I wanted more. (I am not a fan macaroni salad ????, but macaroni salad was just right.)The conch Lanbi is not dry where it is over cooked or hard. It taste perfect and tender. My parents are picky eater. They enjoyed it as much as I did. They were very satisfied. Thanks again. We will be back for more!“

“great food and great service“

“Sarah and the entire 4Rivers team was so amazing to work with!! From coordinating our tasting(and last minute getting us a dessert sampler) to the day of execution, everything was absolutely perfect. The food was so amazing we barely had any leftovers when the night was over. The mac and cheese bar was worth every penny!! Our guests were OBSESSED and are still talking about it after the fact. Sarah answered every email/phone call so fast and was incredibly helpful. If you want a stress free planning process for catering and bar service 4Rivers is it!!“

“Ordered catering to feed the Oviedo High School baseball team today and they gave it rave reviews. Thanks so much for the delicious meals!“

“My friend jocelyn and I pass this place everyday going to our classes at ucf’s downtown campus so today we stopped to try it out and it did not disappoint! The woman working who took our order was the sweetest and had the most welcoming kind energy that made the experience so much better. I ordered the bbq wings and they were soooo good!! I Will definitely be back and continue to stop here after class. So happy we went to try it out :))“
