Mouthwatering fall off the bone bbq!! Stop here. If you passed it turn around and come back. We waited for 1.5 at their farmers market pop up and I was drooling at just the smell. Everything was delicious. Plus I was sticker shocked at the price. I am from the Bay and the plate I was served would easily have been $30+. The sides were good and the bbq sauce was good. Yum yum yum.

Pulled Pork Sandwich(a a la carte)

First time customer, I was at the farmers market at lake Eola. Customer service was great, the meat is so juicy and cooked to perfection but no taste the sauce carried it and we both wanted spicy and mild sauce and didn't get that so both our sandwich had the same issue, just bland with sauce on it. We didn't enjoy the bake bean but the Mac and cheese wasn't bad.

Ribs with Mac N Cheese and Collard Greens

So glad to see this spot at the Lake Eola Farmer's Market! I ordered ribs with mac and cheese and collards and it did not disappoint. Plenty of food, I could have shared with someone but glad I didn't have to. The woman taking orders was friendly and the service was quick. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu.

I was looking for a soulfood/BBQ in the East side of Orlando and they came up in the search. It's a quaint location tucked inside of a strip mall. When I was greeted with friendly smiles and service. First off...never go to a restaurant hungry after a day of errands. I ordered ribs/chicken combo, wings, fried orka, lima beans and key lime cake. The food is REAL good and everything is homemade (cakes made by the owner's mother). The only thing for me was that the orka and beans had a little too much salt for my liking. Overall the food was really good. The staff are super friendly and I'll be back to try more items on the menu. I'm glad there's some restaurant diversity coming to the East side of Orlando.

Hands down the best bbq in East Orlando. Huge portions and the bbq sauce is to die for. We loved everything we ate, and the owners make you feel like family. They are located off of Colonial Drive in East Orlando and also have a food truck on Sundays at Lake Eola off of Washington Street. Y'all really need to check them out. Finger licking good bbq.

What makes their mac and cheese so unique is that every time I try it, the flavor seems to get even better! The food is consistently delicious, and you can tell there is care put into every meal. Beyond the food, the service is wonderful. The family is incredibly kind and welcoming, making you feel like you're part of their home rather than just another customer. The restaurant is small, quaint, and cozy, with great vibes and a warm, homey atmosphere. Their takeout service is just as impressive placing an order by phone is quick and easy, and your food is freshly made and ready for pickup. Whether you're dining in or grabbing a meal to go, Uncle Tony's Barbecue delivers every time. Highly recommend!

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.

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!

Finally tried it for the first time and it wasn't a win for us…read more It's so loud inside and out and my bf is hard of hearing from the military so we couldn't really talk. 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.

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 restaurant also offers plenty of room to stay and enjoy your food both indoors and outdoors. It was way too hot so decided to get mine to go. The plate is massive! Lots for chopped brisket and fries. Toast was soggy due to the condensation from the meat so just ok for me. The beans were sweet and smokey, an unexpected treat. The mac & cheese was dry. 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. Adds some depth to the meat. Overall, not bad. Solid 7/10 for me. Give it a go if you're in the area and looking for some quick smoked goodness.

The brisket wasn't as juicy as I would've liked. The fries were okay. Wish they were seasoned crinkle cut. The Mac and cheese was downright terrible. Like watered down velveeta. The barbecue sauce was so necessary because otherwise everything else tasted the same. Their sauces were good but again not anything unique. I probably wouldn't return unless I couldn't get bbq elsewhere.
