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.

We have been coming to 4 Rivers for quite a while. The food is cosistantly good. Their monthly…read morespecials provide a bit of opportunity to try something a little different. Everyone that we interacted eith is pleasant and eager to please.

This Little Piggy - Winter Garden, FL "Pulled pork and ribs…read moredone to perfection -- Winter Garden BBQ at its finest" If you're wandering through Plant Street Market craving some seriously good BBQ, This Little Piggy is a total must-visit. This spot has earned a solid reputation around Winter Garden for their tender, juicy pulled pork and fall-off-the-bone ribs that deliver bold, smoky flavor with every bite. The meats here are smoked just right -- smoky without overpowering, juicy without being greasy -- and seasoned with that perfect balance of savory spices. I've been here multiple times with friends and family, and it never disappoints. The vibe inside Plant Street Market is casual and welcoming, and the staff at This Little Piggy are always friendly and efficient. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a relaxed meal, you get great service and fresh, hot food every time. It's also a fantastic spot to show off to visitors who want an authentic taste of Winter Garden's growing food scene. Just make sure to come hungry -- the portions are generous and the flavor is big. This Little Piggy truly brings the BBQ heat in a way that keeps locals coming back. If you love classic BBQ with a local twist, this is one spot you don't want to miss.

I wanted to love This Little Piggy, but overall it was just okay for me. It's located inside the…read morefood hall, so the atmosphere is casual and shared, which is convenient if you're with a group or want different food options. 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.

Always a fun experience! I enjoy this hot pot spot over other popular ones in Orlando. They have so…read moremany soup bases to choose from and I enjoy that you can go up to the toppings bar on your own. You do not have to order with a limit on an iPad like that they hot pot spots. The staff is incredible because they are very attentive with the grill and are proactive with oiling and helping if needed. So much variety of meats and seafood to choose from for the KBBQ.

Seeing that this was our first visit, which we explained when we sat down, you'd think the…read moregentleman who served the table would have been understanding, patient and take his time explaining how it works. As soon as we sat down, he asked what base we wanted. We asked if he could explain the process and he was so irritated and impatient. He walked away while we read the menu. When he came back, we had some questions and while he did give us a smile, he answered in an irritated manner. When we asked for spicy, he looked at us and said are you sure? We said yes and then he asked if we wanted it mild, medium or hot. My brother said hot and he again said are you sure it's very hot. We each went with a different heat level to be safe. Then we asked how it worked and he again, very irritably, waved us to the buffet area and talked so fast we were lost. The broth was so bland and the "hot" was not hot at all. The overall experience was underwhelming for most of us and we won't be back. One person enjoyed it and said they'd return. For me, it was less than a 1 star but since one person enjoyed it, I added an additional star for them.
