    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!!!

    Wow these portions!…read more What Ofcourse I got the 2 signature meals. The jerk chicken and also the fried chicken with honey. The jerk chicken, I got with rice and peas, mixed veggies and cabbage. The cabbage was a little strange to me- not as I imagined from Jamaica steamed cabbage. The mixed veggies were also basic - like boiled frozen mixed veggies. The rice and peas were overall good but tasted a little on the hard side. The chicken though! This was the highlight - it was very flavorful, though I wish I would be able to have the sauce on the side.. For the fried chicken meal - the fried chicken was nice and hot. I got this to-go and was worried it would get soggy but it still tasted great when I got home. Environment This is located in a plaza tucked away near the corner. It seems to be a more takeout restaurant. There is some seats inside for your to enjoy the food. Since it is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking available, but in front of the restaurant could be a bit tricky. Niceness of the staff I would say she was not on the nice side. No one greeted me upon entering also they seemed preoccupied and did not once gave eye-contact. Definitely not friendly.. but nonetheless I got my food. Dollar It is like the bang for your buck. I ordered via UnderEats and there are deals, it was very reasonable as you get 2 leg quarters! Yes I would definitely order takeout again

I am not sure if she adds pork in the meat mix but it is delicious and tender soft. The gravy that comes with it is delicious. The bread pudding is also one of the best you will have from a scratch kitchen. I have seen caucasians come here and grab food because I hear them say its the best meatloaf they had - to the cooking in general reminds them of their southern family member cooking. This day the black eyed peas was a popular side choice. I never tried it but it was a popular one. I spoke to Ms. Kim and her grandson this day just to have a conversation - Ms. Kim introduced herself to me with her First Name - She asked me if I was this ethnicity and she was right LOL she then stated to me she is part Thailand. Her grandson was also nice. I was sharing to him my past experience as a Yelp Diner at this establishment and both Ms. Kim and her grandson were not fond of the experience I had and then Ms. Kim adviced next time that happens at any food establishment to just get a full refund back. They were shocked of the experience I had. It was a pleasure talking to them both them hearing me vent it out about my dining experience from another establishment. On a weekday around close to 12pm this place can get a line for food. By far Ms. Kim's place is the best soul food IMO in Orlando and the portions are hefty! Next time you stop by - its nice to chit chat with Ms. Kim and her grandson who is pretty much the cashier.

I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

But keep in mind I was doing this on the late Thursday night when the temperature clearly dipped into the 50s and I'm sure nobody would be out there at this time, But I randomly just stumbled onto this restaurant as I was driving and decided to make a U-turn and check them out. When I walked in it was a very very warm welcome. He just told me that I've been "boomeranged" and that I stumbled onto the right place. I decided to just try the ribs first and I realized the plate was entirely stuffed with ribs, to the point where he couldn't even close the Styrofoam properly. The mac & cheese and beans I'm sure came out of a can because I refuse to believe that they really sat that there were cooking it up. But I must say the ribs are super tender and taste extremely delicious. Then he gave me the option of what sauce I wanted. And I told him to go with both the Carolina gold and whatever the other one was and he sure did. Overall, I love the Carolina goal but because it was my first time I was going to let him surprise me with what they had that was the best. I didn't finish my entire meal because it was just overall too much. But from what I did taste that night it was absolutely delicious and I don't mind coming back again for some of the chicken, or whatever they have. I certainly have been boomeranged and I certainly will be back.
