    Fried okra
    TastyLadiesNY P.

    Found another BBQ place close to us worth mentioning in our Florida stay, Uncle Kenny's BBQ right here in Clermont which boasts good solid bbq with all the fixings and St. Louis style pizza. This place is not fancy but typical decor of a small town bbq restaurant. When your looking for good bbq you don't need candlelight and linens for sure! We decided to try their pizza first which was ok, nothing special, but to be fair we are from New York so enough said! We ordered the special of the day of the burnt ends with sides of fried okra and side salad with Texas toast stop. We also had the Pitmaster's combo plate of ribs and chopped brisket with mac and cheese and homemade chips. The meats were good and tender and we had four choices of their own sauce to dip in, original, mustard, vinegar and my favorite spicy! I loved the fried okra and homemade chips but the mac and cheese was lacking flavor. Next time I want to try the pretzel bites, fried pickle spears and toasted raviolis! We ended with their sweet chocolate overload cake but will be trying their caramel cheesecake and ooey gooey butter cake next trip! They have been here over 10 years and have a whole wall of awards for their BBQ and you can even purchase their rubs and sauces to bring home to make your own BBQ!

    Dessert options. Clockwise - choc cake, peanut butter pie, caramel cheesecake, peach cobbler, banana cheesecake, ooey gooey butter cake.

    We had been here a couple of years ago based on Yelp reviews but before I was an active contributor to the #YES. It left an impression so given we were in the area, I knew we had to come back. For our late afternoon lunch, we started with the pulled pork eggrolls. The order comes with two but they are the size of mini burritos so definitely enough to share with four people. Loaded with flavorful pulled pork and just the right amount of slaw for that ideal balance. As much as I wanted to get some chicken or ribs, I knew my late lunch was going to collide with my early dinner so I went with a brisket sandwich basket. I like that you have the option between sliced and chopped - which is my preference. I also asked for the sandwich on toast vs. bun and they are more than eager to accommodate. This sandwich along with my side of fried okra was a perfect meal to fill my bbq cravings. My meal today was 4 stars but I know if I had ribs or chicken, that 5th star would have been easy to add. Uncle Kenny's provides consistent good with great friendly service. Their sauces are all fantastic too so do yourself a favor and buy some to take home.

    Must use all the sauces!

    One of my favorite BBQ places to go to! Great sauces and the ribs are pretty good and the collard green are soooo good!

    I always look for a good BBQ that is locally owned to visit! This place did not disappoint and it blows all the BBQ places in IN out of the water! The meat was juicy, seasoned out of this world and falling off the bone! The ribs had a smoked flavor but not too much smoke like I'm used too. The BBQ sauces were homemade and delicious! Try this place out!

    Had the sliced brisket basket. It was very good; tender, moist and flavorful. Average roll. I chose the mac and cheese. Cheese had a hint of smoky flavor, which is not my preference. My husband had pulled pork with slaw on top, plus baked beans. He loved it. Service was prompt and attentive. Parking was easy. Located right next to Citrus Tower. Atmosphere is way casual, family oriented. Nothing fancy. Prices are reasonable and food is great.

    Some of the best Barbecue I've found in FLORIDA!! It shows from the assortment of trophies and ribbons. The beef brisket was awesome, the pulled chicken was delicious! The beans? They're smack-your-momma good! I haven't found anything yet that isn't exemplary! Down to the bread... seriously, how do you make buttered bread something worth reviewing??? Heck if I know, ask Uncle Kenny!

    Buttery toast, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, Flintstone beef ribs, brisket, coleslaw.

    Okay, so here's the thing, this place was highly recommended by locals and I feel like it kinda didn't live up to the hype. And to be honest, I can be a garbage disposal, I eat and enjoy everything. The appetizers felt like they came from a bag in the frozen section of Publix, something you could get on your own instead of going to a restaurant for. The sides lacked flavor in my opinion, but the portion is fine because you get to have two sides along with the buttery toast, and the bbq meat is generous in size. But both times I went, they just didn't have a taste really worth going back for. Now, as for the BBQ: the chicken and brisket was okay, can't say it was great and can't say it wasn't, but what made me return a second time was the gigantic Flintstone beef ribs or whatever they're called. The flavor was really, reallllly good. The first time they put me in a food coma. The second time was a little bit too charred for my liking, so I had to unwillingly leave off a few pieces, but the overall taste of them is great!

    Gorgeous brisket sandwich that tasted as good as it looks!

    I'll bet that tens of thousands of years ago when man learned to control fire, BBQ was invented almost immediately. Can't you just picture caveman Gronk working on smoking the perfect dinosaur butt? To hell with learning language, Q is more important! After thousands of generations of practice, Uncle Kenny has got it down. You can tell it's in his genes! ATMOSPHERE- It's simple, it's a hole-in-the-wall way in the back of a plaza. One side has a bench for waiting on take out and the other side has a few tables. Expect an open kitchen for your viewing pleasure. It's very family friendly so expect a bunch of Munchkins around. ADULT LIBATIONS- Unfortunately there are none. I love a brew with my Q but not here. This is a soft drink only joint. CUSTOMER SERVICE- Excellent! They use the team approach here to expect to see more than one face. FOOD- Yup, it's all there. Brisket, ribs, pork, chicken, sausage and all the sides you expect are represented. There is a nice selection of sauces on the table. I had a simple brisket sandwich with krinkle cut fries. Along with a soft drink it cost me about eleven bucks. It was comfort food at its very best. A warm soft bun and perfectly smoked moist brisket. I added the mustard sauce and just moaned with delight. If I'm going to have frozen fries from a bag I like my krinkle cuts. These were cooked very nicely. I would have sold my Mother for fresh-cut fries but hey, you can't have everything. My fellow Yelpers average 4.5 stars and I agree. For me, to get to five stars would take fresh-cut fries and a cold beer but I still had a great experience.

    I'm not sure how I never wrote a review of Uncle Kenny's - we lived about 10 miles south of them for six years, and it was our go-to place for BBQ in a land of chain restaurants. We've brought​ both local and out of town friends here frequently. You'll find them located in​ the back of the Citrus Tower complex and if you blink, you'll miss them. I always felt bad for the people coming out of Weight Watchers next store because​ the smells alone make me break my healthy​ eating. There is always plenty of parking in their lot without walking too far. You enter through the takeout​ area and seating is off to the left. Don't walk past their bottles of BBQ sauce without getting some. We keep our house stocked with their hot BBQ sauce. You'll find about six big booths, plenty of room for larger parties and larger guests. two small tables in the center and two smaller booths, perfect​ for two. The staff is friendly and efficient, getting orders in quickly and keeping drinks filled. I'm always impressed with the fact that both Kenny and his wife are there a good amount of​ the time. Honestly, I can only really speak to their BBQ dishes as I don't​ know that I've had anything else. But, we have never had a bad meal here. I highly recommend starting your dinner with their BBQ Pulled​ Pork Egg Rolls ($8.49) these are two big, fat, crispy egg rolls cut in half. They are stuffed full​ of lightly smoked pulled pork with just a touch of BBQ sauce and a little​coleslaw​w for added crunch. They​ are served with a slide of coleslaw,​ and I like their mustard BBQ sauce with these. I think I've had their​ pulled pork, pork ribs, pulled chicken, brisket and their sausage. I'm obsessed with their smoked jalapeno sausage. I had the Pitmaster Plate with the sausage ($11.99), two sides and two pieces of Texas Toast. The sausage is moist and flavorful but not too spicy. For my sides,​ I got their​ greens (you'll want to save some of the toast to sop up the juices) and their wonderful BBQ baked beans (I love the chunks of meat in them). Truth be told, we moved to St Petersburg over a year ago and were in the area (35 minutes away) and made a special trip for their BBQ. You absolutely can't go wrong​ with anything on the menu! Yes, we're raving fans!

    My family and I recently visited Uncle Kenny's BBQ for lunch at the recommendation of several locals we met at a shopping center across the street. We were told what it lacks in decor, Uncle Kenny's will for sure make up in it's food. They were right. The service was fantastic. The staff was very attentive and we wanted for nothing. We started our meal with the Pulled Pork Eggrolls. They were so good and honestly, could have been a meal by themselves. Seven of us were dining so we were able to try various items on the menu. Items ordered were the Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwich, Slicked Brisket Sandwich, Chopped Brisket Sandwich and the special of the day, the catfish platter. And don't let me forget the dessert! Let me just put it out there now, that may have been the best damn peanut butter pie I've ever had! The testament to this visit was when my Step Moms plate was left empty. This may have been the first time I've ever seen her eat everything on her plate. We can't wait to visit Uncle Kenny's BBQ again soon.

    Visited Uncle Kenny's for a friends birthday lunch today. We had a big group so they set us up in this den like area downstairs which was pretty handy for the rest of the people since we had some loud kids, lol. Our orders were taken right away which was nice. The waitresses were very attentive the entire lunch. However when the food came I was a bit taken aback and how little meat was served. Could've used another scoop of pulled pork and my husband a few slices more of brisket. Our sides were delicious! Loved the Mac and cheese the best. Overall a great lunch. I'll definitely be back.

    I've been here 3 times within 1 week and I have enjoyed it every time! I'm so happy I found a good bbq place so close to me. Food is always hot, & customer service is good.
