Owner was super nice, friendly, and enthusiastic about his food. We came to dine in, and it was well worth the wait. The chicken tasted so fresh and flavorful, I haven’t had BBQ like that in a long time. The sides were amazing, and the portion size was more then enough for the price, my family was completely full after eating. After a full day at Universal, this is the place to eat!!
Food is delicious well cooked but they are very slow so pre order dont go there in a hurry Friendly staff

Let me begin by saying this is hands down the best barbecue you will ever have. Even when I moved an hour away I still drove into Orlando to get this. The neighborhood special is less than $20 and you get all of this food. If you are in the metro west area it is a restaurant off of old winter garden road. I cannot comment on the interior I have never physically been!This is my third time getting the neighborhood special, ordered through door dash and added a side of the garlic potatoes.

First time in and from the moment i opened the door i knew i was in for some good bbq. Some of the best ribs and collards ive had in a while, i got the rib and leg combo and it was perfect. So smoky amd so fresh you could tell it was made with a love of food in mind. Chef you have made a life time customer any time i can get your food i will. From the customers i talked to there isnt a thing on the menu that is bad and everything down to the shrimp and lobster are gonna be fantastic. Thank you chef.Kid-friendliness: Happy employees and nothing to make a kid not wanna be there( it smells so good )Parking: Right on the side and easy to find

I’ve referred DOZENS of out-of-state guests to this place as its just outside the theme parks. Came to this place a dozen times for the veggie plate. Always 11.95, always tipped $3-4! Yesterday he charged me the price of a chicken and rib dinner lol, and refused to honor the listed price directly above his head…so I skipped the tip. Come to the reviews to see he does it OFTEN. Then, he served the next person after me and took 3 more orders…never addressing me. He claimed my order was “being made now” after I left and requested a refund….and he hung up. He mustve thought I had no bank account by my work clothes LOL meanwhile I own a business. I see why this place never expands as they treat people with bias. I immediately disputed with my bank..now they are out the food they prepared, and chargebacks for what they would’ve got in tip anyway. I will never enter or refer anyone to this place again…it would be embarrassing to do so. Quality of food, service and staff attitude has GREATLY diminished over the yrs and Petes BBQ, 7mins away, is better. As a business owner myself, I only support small businesses that have integrity and care about their customers.

The service was great, the food smelled, looked, and tasted amazing.10/10 would recommend the ribs, macaroni, and the garlic potatoes. Also there lemonade was very good and had other lemonade options.Kid-friendliness: The guy in the front was very nice and friendly.Parking: We could smell the food from the parking lot and soon as we opened the door.

This review leaves me a little puzzled. While I love to go to the small establishments to give them a shout out. This place has potential. When I checked into YELP, a coupon popped up, which I showed to the staff, they showed it to the manager, who said He didn't know anything about YELP and was not going to honor coupon. I still placed an order. I ordered Beef Brisket, Mac n cheese and greens. The portion on meat was small, only four slices of beef. They were tasteful. The greens were seasoned with smoked turkey, a little spicy .; the Mac n Cheese was a little dry even though it had cheese. The second entree we ordered was supposed to have barbecue chicken especially since we did not want jerk chicken. When the meal came out it jerk chicken, once again we asked for BBQ chicken. The dinner sat on the counter for 15 minutes then again we were told the jerk chicken was not hot and it was the BBQ Chicken. I know the difference between BBQ Chicken and Jerk chicken.

Paid 10 dollars for some Mac n cheese that could barely fill a kid and was disappointed because it was good
