Pulled Pork Collard Greens 8oz Potato Salad BBQ Sauce

Just found my new favorite lunch spot. This is THE BEST bbq i've ever had. Maybe the best food i've ever had. The owner was so nice and the shop is very cute. They have daily/lunch specials and everything is super affordable.

Wow! I've been to every BBQ place in Orlando (most of them more times than I care to admit!) and this one blows them away. What amazing ribs! Obviously slowly smoked to perfection over hours, with a slight crust, but incredibly succulent center, with oodles of meat. The half-rack portion is very generous and well-priced. The BBQ sauce, served on the side, is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and spicy. Pulled pork is also tender and tasty. The baked beans have a rich sauce and tender chunks of meat, and just a hint of spice. Usually I add BBQ sauces to baked beans, but these didn't need it. It's counter service, and friendly service at that. There's just one table inside, and one on the lawn out front, but there's also parking in the rear. This is a cozy little downtown area of Ocoee, so a pleasant place to eat outside.

I love supporting hole in wall restaurants. Came for lunch here and ordered ribs, mac n cheese. I didn't feel too welcomed in this restaurant. For a small business that wasn't busy I would think the person working(guessing owner) would be more welcoming especially when I state to give me a second to see the menu since I never been here before. Once i noticed the woman was plating my food(to go) I asked where the bathroom was so I can wash my hands to enjoy these ribs in the workvan. When I exit the bathroom, my food was left in a bag on top of a small side high table. No thank you, thanks for coming, see you soon etc. As I opened the container I noticed the ribs were burnt. Had a really strong burnt taste and since it was overcooked it was tough almost like jerky. The mac n cheese was decent. I wasnt too impressed and will not return

1/2 rack out of the to go pack. Lots of fall off the bone goodness!!! Gracious!!

Girl?!!! Nessas has some really righteous ribs! Fall of the bones doesn't cover it. Let's say I'm surprised my serving even held onto the bone well enough to get from the grill to my to-go container. The ribs have some crusty blackened season rub outer skin that is sheer delight to slooooow the hell down and enjoy the mastication's needed to extract all that Nessa BBQ goodness out of it. That 1/2 rack (in my picture) should satisfy most "Fl. pie holes" and if it oddly does not, toss in some of her delicious collards! Oh my, an ever so slight touch of heat and wonderfully faint smoky flavor notes also. Texture was a spot on "chew" for collards! Not overdone like most sides you will find. (I'm really looking forward to an early LUNCH tomorrow! ) The fried okra was still hot and mostly still crunchy after the 9 minute ride back to the casa. Also delicious. Man, this is down home BBQ! She must have one happy / lucky family at home every cook out. Now we get to join in on the accolades to her skills!

We are fans of the ribs!!!

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!

You know, when Mama pulls out all the stops and makes the specialties the family has come to love. Everything about this little place says home. It's clean and simple and unassuming and comfortable.

The red velvet cord near the entrance was a nice touch - made us feel like royalty walking in. There was a nice-looking outdoor seating area, but it was 98 degrees out and not shaded, so even my lizard-as* couldn't do it. There was a separate seating area inside though. You order at the counter. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. We got help with the menu and some suggestions on options. I opted for the rib dog and side of mac and cheese. I also got a sweet tea. My husband got the brisket with fries and a (canned) Diet Coke. The rib dog was pretty impossible to pick up and eat, but was very tasty. The mac and cheese maybe top 3 I have ever had. The brisket my husband ordered was quite tasty, pretty smokey (not my fave, but he loved it). Meat was moist and tender. It was about $42 total before a tip for the two of us and we both had leftovers for another meal. This place is a little out of our way, but we would definitely stop in again if we were in the area. If I was really craving good mac and cheese might even make a special trip (being honest - I love bbq places for the sides. Its shameful but true.)

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.

Counter-service right when you walk in, and then there's a great, big dining room full of wooden bench-esque booths. Feels like of like an outdoor picnic area. It was nice. Cozy. Service was excellent. Believe it or not, we were served by Papa Diesel himself! I only knew that, because he was standing right in front of a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself. Very surreal. The food came out very promptly, and he went and got us a whole flight of sauces to try. The food itself was pretty good. We got The Diesel Sampler (1/4 lb of slow smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and wings) and a few sides, the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, the Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, and a Sweet Roll. Brisket was not good, sorry, ribs were nice, but needed sauce, pulled pork was good, but needed sauce, sausage was the best part, Huge chunks of melty cheddar cheese inside, and the wings had a nice little smoke to them. Pretty good stuff. The mac was very gouda-y. Needed some seasoning, though. The sprouts were excellent. Huge sprouts, but cooked all the way through, nice chunks of bacon added that much needed fat. Good work here. Overall, some pretty good BBQ. You won't be disappointed with your visit here. Just make sure to sauce adequately.
