Good food in Ocoee. I am a fan of the 4 Rivers chain of…read morerestaurants. This is a popular Florida-based barbecue chain that was founded by John Rivers. It began in 2004 as a "Barbecue Ministry" when he hosted a backyard cookout fundraiser to help a local family whose daughter was battling cancer. In October 2009, he opened the first official 4 Rivers Smokehouse location in Winter Park, Florida. The restaurant gained a loyal following for its smoked brisket and Southern sides. Fast forward to today, when the chain has grown to around 15-23 locations. It is still family-owned and continues to expand while staying rooted in its community-focused origins. I have visited 3 different locations and like atmosphere, food, prices and style. This location is to the northwest of the SR 50 and Vineland road intersection. There is plenty of parking. The inside is a counter where you order your food moving from left to right and pay at the end. There are three sets of seating: by the counter, in the next room and outside on the patio. They have serve yourself drinks in the second room along with to-go containers. The food is a mix of barbeque beef and wings and various sides. I got a pulled pork sandwich, fries and tea. It came out quick and was excellent. The place was very clean and the staff was super friendly. I definitely recommend for anyone wanting a good meal, at a decent price, in a pleasant atmosphere in the Ocoee area.

They also had wines and a few cocktails. The cocktails were made with wine based spirits. A little weird. I tried the Aperol spritz. Next time I'll stick with beer.

The staff was super friendly, which I appreciated. I got the brisket sandwich, and while the flavor was good overall, some of the brisket was on the fatty side. I also felt like the sandwich needed more barbecue sauce because it came across a little dry/lacking without it. The sweet tea and lemonade were really good and were probably my favorite part of the visit. The sides were okay, but nothing really stood out. Overall, the service was great and the drinks were solid, but the food didn't quite hit the way I was hoping. I wouldn't completely write it off, but based on this visit, it probably wouldn't be my first pick in the food hall.

Here's a clean and engaging review you can post or share:…read more Willie's BBQ in Montverde - 10/10 I had the saucy BBQ rib tips with two sides--macaroni and cheese and collard greens--and I've got to say, this was some of the best BBQ I've had in Florida. The rib tips were tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection. I tried two sauces: a yellow BBQ and a traditional sweet BBQ. Both were spot on--bold, balanced, and not overwhelming. Just perfect. The collard greens had a nice smoky flavor and were cooked with smoked turkey, giving them that deep, comforting Southern taste. The mac and cheese was cheesy with perfectly cooked noodles (al dente), though I did have to hit it with a little salt and pepper from the packets--but still solid. This is a true mom-and-pop spot, and you can taste the care in every bite. Small place, big flavor. They hit it out of the park. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

Service was very good and attentive and answered any questions I may have had because I'm very picky when it comes to barbecue. I chose the jerk chicken just to try it out for starters. The jerk seasoning was not as pronounced as I would like, but I can tell it was still freshly cooked and it was tender. The rice was a little bit mushy, but it was good enough. The macaroni and cheese was very good tasted like it was made with real cheese And topped with more cheese. My husband had the ribs, and he said that they were tender and tasted even better the next day. The lunch special is extremely affordable and if I was in the area and wanted a hot meal, I would definitely come back here to do just that.

Didn't care for it. The Brisket - very good. Fell apart. However, I would have preferred it not chopped but sliced instead but still very tasty. And get the sweet BBQ sauce.

Wings- crisp, tasty, good amount of meat and flavor. Daughter had the nachos with pulled chicken, son had the single smash burger- both really liked and looked great. My other daughter had the Sunday grits. She didn't love, but mostly as there were a lot of flavors and she prefers plain grits. Still good, just not what she expected.
