Stopped at Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ, and for $16, and great service this might be one of the best…read moreBBQ deals in Orlando. I ordered the 1 lb. Rib Nuggets with the house Sweet BBQ Sauce, a side of mac & cheese, cornbread, and a Coke. Let me start with that sauce... it's the bomb. Seriously, I could drink it through a straw. It's so good that I found myself dipping every single bite into it. The rib nuggets were tender and flavorful. Every bite somehow tasted even better than the last. The cornbread was incredibly moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The mac & cheese was good, but I'll admit I'm a little biased. My old lady makes an incredible macaroni pie, and since I don't get it nearly as often as I'd like, she's set the bar pretty high for my belly. That's a tough standard for any restaurant to beat. Two complaints... First, the "moist" towelette they gave me after I demolished my food was anything but moist. That thing was drier than an 80-year-old woman's taco in the middle of the coldest night in Alaska. I think it actually absorbed moisture from my hands. Second, after a meal that good, I have one question for corporate America: What exactly do you expect me to accomplish this afternoon? Between the rib nuggets, mac & cheese, cornbread, and that Sweet BBQ sauce, I was one recliner away from a full-blown food coma. Pro tip: Order extra Sweet BBQ sauce... trust me. You might be tempted to drink it through a straw too.

1 star for EXPERIENCE…read more I am not a fan of corners of cornbread. So i requested to switch it to a middle portion of cornbread. The young lady asked me what was wrong with the cornbread and I told her im not a fan of cornered things like cornbread or brownies etc. So she then said oh the portion you have they gave you 2 slices etc .. I told the lady I am not a fan of cornered corn bread. It's a diner preference. So this whole cornbread thing was a chaos. She got the boss lady involved now because the young lady before she went to the back and got the boss lady she told me if I were to switch to a middle piece of corn bread I will need to pay another $1 for a new slice while she takes what I have on my tray. WHO DOES THAT?!!!! WHO CHARGES ANOTHER PIECE OF CORNBREAD WHEN YOU ARE TAKING THE ONE FROM ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!! So then i had to clarify with the young lady LOL I asked her - " So you want me to pay another $1 for you to take the corner cornbread from my tray for you to replace it with a middle piece ?!" Now mind you this young lady had a fork and a to go container in her hands removing the cornbread from my tray LOL WHO DOES THIS TO A NEW CUSTOMER WHILE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING THEIR FOOD ?!!!! Removing food thats been exposed from the diner and you as a employee removing food in front of a diner's face?!!!!! WOW. It caught me off guard cause I have never experienced that while dining out. Ever. So the boss lady came back with her asking me why and this and that about the cornbread. The boss lady asked me why I didn't mention it earlier to request a middle piece etc .. I assumed most cornbread are served in middle pieces and not corner ends. She mentioned the young lady was new when I had mentioned being asked to pay another $1 to replace the cornbread. The boss lady then said she had no problem replacing the cornbread of my request. Now get this. When they took my cornbread from my tray I thought to myself - a customer pays extra for this cornbread and after it being touched or exposed from me and mouth etc - they had the audacity to still remove it from my tray LOL most would leave that cornbread and handed me a new one right?! Nope. They took it away and the boss lady said upon giving me the new piece - " of I cant afford this and that etc" she pretty much stated she cant afford to leave me what i had on my tray and also give me a replacement. LOL This establishment must be struggling financially for boss lady to say that. Also when she handed me (boss lady) the replacement of cornbread - her long nails were touching my cornbread wearing NO GLOVES serving diners food with her long acrylic nails!!! The young lady asked me how was everything after a few minutes of me eating the food and I told her - The lady handed me my cornbread with her long nails touching my food. Let her know if the health department ever see that - thats not good. The taste of the food - Tad bit salty on the greens and brisket. Collards were fresh greens not canned i barely saw smoked meats in it but it was piping hot when served. Tender greens slight bitterness, tad salty - the collards were kind of similar tasting with Ms. Kims - The portions of the greens were ok. Enough to eat with the meat and mac & cheese. Mac & Cheese - it was dry tbh there was a cheese taste factor but I figured they close at 7pm? And I probably got the end batch of the day? It was not creamy or any cheese pull factor. Ms. Kim's or Homecoming or even Chick-fil-A mac and cheese is better imo. The Brisket - this was the one I was looking forward to trying and was slightly un impressed. Like I said maybe I came in probably towards the end of the day but no excuse if you are known for this in your menu. First of all the portions here for a BBQ place the portions are not big portions. Its "enough" LOL - For me they sliced it to 3 slices with it being each piece size of my palm. It was soft tender in the fatty centers but dried out in some areas of the meat it had a hard jerky type texture on some areas of the brisket. I didn't see a smoke ring on the meats. The meat was tad bit salty for my taste. I had to drizzle the house sweet bbq sauce to balance the saltiness. It was not the best brisket imo. It had a slight smokey flavor but the bits of pcs of hardened meat threw me off. The house made bbq sauce had a vinegar note in the end but for me it wasn't a sparkle sauce. I can get the same taste with Sweet Baby Rays. Banana Pudding was more a trifle than pudding. The sweet tea with lemonade tasted homemade - too sweet for me though. I should have gotten unsweetened with lemonade instead. I asked for a to go of their house lemonade. For me it tasted like country time with added fresh lemon juice - too sweet not necessarily tangy. It was ok. I have no plans coming back here just on the experience and the food was salty a mediocre for my taste. Mohawk Smokehouse will be my next BBQ spot I will need to try!

Everyone was super friendly and helpful with recommendations, which we really appreciated since it was our first time. They even came around to check if we needed drink refills, which was a nice touch, especially for a counter-service restaurant! We ordered the combo platter with chicken and brisket, along with Mexican street corn and yuca. It also came with tortillas, which were great for making little tacos with the meat. The platter was a decent amount of food for two people to share, although if you're both really hungry, you might want to order a little extra. Everything was delicious! Both the chicken and brisket were packed with flavor, and I honestly couldn't pick a favorite. The Mexican street corn and yuca were also so good! I loved both sides and would absolutely order them again. Overall, Pig Floyd's was a great find! The food was delicious, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and I loved the variety of flavors. It's definitely a place I'd recommend, and I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more of the menu!

It took 30 min for our food to come out (which would be fine if we knew but I thought it was fast casual). That said, all the food was served nice and hot. When his Plain Jane came out it was missing the coleslaw. My mom's brisket sandwich had a very burnt end. My pulled pork was good but having a warm salad was strange to me. But most of all, I didn't like the staff wearing the same gloves to buss tables, serve food and roll silverware. Yuck. We did enjoy the street corn and fortune cookie. It's nice that it is dog friendly.

The crispy pork was crispy where it needed to be and juicy where it counts. The duck was rich and flavorful with glazed skin, and the char siu had that sweet and charred vibe going on.

Was surprised to see that this place has table service; I think when we went a couple years ago it was ordering at the counter but I understand as they now have a well-earned Michelin designation. We ordered the Smoked Belly Banh Mi, pit sampler (brisket, pulled pork, pork belly), and a side of brussel sprouts and fries. All the meats were tender and flavorful, I enjoyed the pork belly the most while my husband enjoyed the brisket. We will definitely come back during their special Friday BBQ Ramen nights to try their ramen and also their brunch on weekends

The Polite Pig is a barbecue-style quick-service restaurant located in Disney Springs at Walt…read moreDisney World Resort. It opened in April 2017 and was founded by husband-and-wife chef team James and Julie Petrakis, along with James's brother, Brian Petrakis. James and Julie both met when they attended the Culinary Institute of America. Collectively, they have worked at a number of restaurants from New York City to Atlanta. During their early culinary years, they both gained a strong appreciation for local and sustainable ingredients. The Petrakises own and operate a number of sister restaurants that include The Ravenous Pig, Cask & Larder, and Swine & Sons. Disney approached them wanting to feature a popular, locally-rooted culinary presence among its lineup of celebrity chefs and national chains. The couple opened The Polite Pig in an effort to highlight genuine Florida-inspired wood-fired, smoked, and grilled dishes to an international audience visiting Disney Springs. My family and I visited The Polite Pig for lunch this past summer while we were on a Walt Disney World Vacation. We really liked the whole vibe and the staff were so friendly and helpful. To drink, I ordered a "Piña Colada Mocktail" while my wife ordered a "Strawberry Daiquiri". For food, my wife and I shared the "Butcher Board" (polite pork, smoked chicken, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, slaw, house pickles, pickled onions, cornbread, crispy brussel sprouts, sweet potato tots). It was fantastic! It was a great way to sample some of their best offerings and we loved all of the different flavors. Our older son had the "Smoked Pork Slider (w/ waffle fries) and our younger son had the "Mac & Cheese" (w/ waffle fries). They also loved their choices. There was also no shortage of delicious sauces for all of us to try with our dishes. We had an excellent experience at The Polite Pig and we hope to return on a future Disney trip!

Visited the Polite Pig again today and ordered three sides for $17 that included Burnt Ends Chili,…read moreStreet Corn and Mac & Cheese. The burnt end Chili was a bit overly spicy. Not inedible but I feel like the spice level could be toned down. The Street Corn was served on the cob and while I prefer off the cob, it was easy to cut it off the cob. The corn was prepared properly and remained crisp which I loved. The Mac and Cheese was too salty and pretty basically bland other than that. I will likely not order this again. Ordering is at the counter, they then give a lager that you take to your table so your food is served at your table. Servers check on you throughout your meal and they are helpful. The dining room is indoors and open air to the outdoor seating. Tables are placed tightly throughout the restaurant making it challenging to navigate getting to some tables and eliminate the possibility of getting to some tables of you have a stroller or mobility device. My meal with iced tea was a bit overly spicy $24 so this isn't a budget lunch.

It was ready when I pulled up to the lot adjacent to the BBQ restaurant. There is outside seating only and a sink to clean up afterwards. I went in and my food was ready. I opened it and was checking for the extra pickles which were an option in the app. The person who handed me the food said that they had not had pickles in some time because they were having issues with the supplier. Darn. So I decided to eat my pulled pork sandwich at the picnic tables outside. Actually the tables are not that far from the road where cars and trucks whizzed by. I went back and asked for more bbq sauce because I got two small cups of bbq sauce which had about 3 tablespoons of liquid each. Pulled pork always sucks up a lot of sauce. There was plenty of meat and the bun was fresh but overall it would have been perfect with some acid from the pickles. My brisket and rib meal was excellent. I ate it later and I found the southern green beans to be good. I would definitely get this combo again. It came with a drink which is a canned soft drink. It doesn't say on the app but they also have bottled water. Overall I felt this restaurant lived up to all the hype. Check the app for $5 off on your first order. See QR code in the picture.

The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

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.
