    Well, we saw Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ on Instagram, and my boyfriend and I were so happy we found this spot. The atmosphere was very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We got the "two meats and two sides" combo. We also learned that the lemonade and fruit punch come with refills. I usually don't even like fruit punch, but this one was so good that I made my boyfriend try it again! The lemonade was also excellent -- not overly sweet and not too tangy. They really make great homemade drinks here. The coleslaw was fantastic, and the green beans were cooked perfectly with great flavor. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with both the house sauce and tangy sauce. Everything was delicious! The more we ate, the more we wanted to come back and try the rest of the menu. I also got the chicken breast with collard greens and mac and cheese. I'm saving some for tomorrow, but I already know it's going to be amazing! "Lastly, their prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of food they serve. The value here is honestly amazing. Everyone there was so nice, and I think we even met the owner. We truly feel like we found the best BBQ spot! We loved the food so much that we took photos and sent them to our families. Super friendly people and fantastic food -- we'll definitely be back!

    Have you ever had a "Hell Yeah" moment at an establishment? Well yesterday's visit was my moment. I couldn't stop saying it after each bite of food...lol! Friends of mine invited me and my son here and I'm thankful for them. It's a bit of a drive for me but it was worth it. The location can cause issue for parking but there is some overflow parking. They are popular so go early if you want a good selection of food. We went later on Saturday and they were out of a few things I wanted to try but I'll be back. This is a family owned business and service was on point! We met one of the owners and she was wonderful! I'm happy to continue supporting them. You can choose to take your order to go or dine in. Tables fill up quickly so it may be better to order to go if you're in a hurry. I ordered a 2 meat combo with spare ribs and chopped brisket. I chose 2 sides, Mac and cheese and collard greens along with garlic bread. I was in love at first bite! No sauce needed but if you choose to sauce you can't go wrong with any of their homemade sauces. My favorite was the extra hot and the vinegar based. The sides were on point in all areas. No complaints. My son got the same meats but got fried okra. It was the best okra I've had in a long time. Seriously you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Run don't walk!

    JB was super friendly and welcomed me in, took great care of me throughout the entire experience, and provided great recommendations. I was hungry so I did a brisket plate with baked beans, fried okra and cornbread. The brisket was good as is, but their sweet sauce was also good. The baked beans were amazing with lots of smokey flavor. The Okra had a nice seasoning to it, would be nice to add some kind of aoli or something to it but ranch is a good option to it as well.

    Landed in Orlando, and I was hungry. I found this BBQ joint tucked into a strip mall off the road, surrounded by a used car dealer and a handful of auto shops. Parking was a bit dicey, folks were definitely taking liberties with the lines. I walked in during the lunch rush but had no trouble placing my order. The server and staff had a natural energy that kept the place buzzing and genuinely friendly. I went with the lunch combo, featuring spare ribs with a good smoky flavor and fork‑tender texture. For sides, I chose the seasoned shoestring fries and the green beans, also seasoned, which more places should do. Vegetables deserve flavor too. For sauces, I tried the tangy and the mustard. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces, so the mustard was the clear winner for me. The food was good, but the service was great. The server remembered my name and used it throughout my visit, which earned the place an extra bump from a solid four stars to a full five. Orlando is a city dominated by touristy chain restaurants. Uncle Tony's is not that. It's a local spot that makes you feel right at home.

    The people are so welcoming! Their service was not too bad we did have a large group. The allowed reservations a week in advance which was awesome! The place is small but they got us all together which was awesome! The food OMG it was so goood!!!!!!!! There was not something I didn't like. The Dino rib only on the weekend was so fall off the bone yummy! The sides were flavorful and good! I would definitely go back and highly recommend!

    Where do I start? This place is amazing! Our ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken all so tasty and tender. The cornbread coleslaw and garlic potato deliciousness! Walk in and greeted immediately. Given the menu to view, ordered at the counter and brought to the table.

    This is my favorite bbq spot in Orlando. I love the service here they always remember me and treat me so kindly not only me but every guest! They constantly check on each person and make sure they have everything. They have tons of sauces to choose from. Their meat is to die for! If you come you have to get the brisket for sure!!! I love to get their 2 meat combo with two sides. If you're a fry or tator tot lover the seasoning is 10/10. Banana pudding is top tier. This spot gets really busy!

    Vanilla biscoff cake

    Why 4 stars? Because the people were so nice, it was impossible to not have a good experience. --- --- --- A BBQ place with an amazing rating, only a few minutes from the airport? There was no easier decision in my life on where to eat on my way out of Orlando. Quickly scanning the reviews, I saw multiple people saying that the people here are super friendly, and that is a massive understatement. I cannot remember interacting with a nicer and more genuine group of people at a restaurant. I think at least 5-6 people came over to my table to check on me throughout my lunch, and while that might sound overbearing, they all did it in such an authentic way that made my entire time here so pleasant. As for the food, it's hard to judge BBQ when I come from Texas aka the mecca for all things BBQ. I'll get the negative things out of the way first. The sliced brisket was a rough one. Again, I hate being critical with how awesome these people were, but I think it's important to be honest. The brisket was not close to my favorite places in Texas. 2-stars. The only other miss for me was the vanilla biscoff cake. I like vanilla. I like biscoff. I like cake. But I could have done without this. It seemed to just be a super basic cake with some whip cream and biscoff drizzle on top. Another 2-stars from me. But the good news is that I enjoyed everything else. Spare Ribs: 4-stars. Good flavor and the perfect amount of tender. Mac-n-cheese: 4.5-stars. Just a solid rendition of mac that I'd probably order on every future trip to Tony's if I lived in the area. Cornbread: 4.5-stars. Pretty much everything you want in a good cornbread. Baked Beans: 5-stars. There was a subtle amount of sweetness to these that really hit the spot. And again, the customer service here was an easy 5-stars. I have no idea when I'll be back in Orlando again, but I'll be rooting for these great people from afar!

    Pulled Pork lunch
    Jennifer R.

    Arrived in Orlando and was looking for a place to eat lunch, looked at yelp and this place is one of the top lunch places in the area. Walked inside and they were crowded! Staffs are friendly and attentive! Upon entering we went to the line to order, their menu is not that big or overwhelming it was perfect with great selections. We ordered and paid $35 for two meals plus too. The place has a nice friendly ambiance. We sat down immediately to a two seater table. We loved every bite and my favorite was the mac and cheese and the chicken. Hubby's fave was the pulled pork and the baked beans. We also got corn bread for each one of us. It was good but q bit dry. Anyway, we will definitely be back if we visit again!

    Restaurant Review: Uncle Tony's Backyard Barbecue Location: Orange Avenue Visit Date: Saturday, June 7th This past Saturday, I was in the mood to switch things up from my usual go-to spots. I hopped on TikTok in search of something new and local and that's when I came across Uncle Tony's Backyard Barbecue, located conveniently off Orange Avenue. It looked promising, so I decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, I snapped a few photos of the outside and the menu (see below). I went with the baby back ribs, which came with potato salad and macaroni and cheese as my sides. Here's how everything stacked up: * Baby Back Ribs: These were the highlight of the meal flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. Definitely the star of the plate. 5/5 * Potato Salad: Unfortunately, this side didn't quite hit the mark for me. It wasn't as chilled as I prefer, and the flavor leaned heavily toward sweet relish. If you like your potato salad cold and more balanced, this may not be it. 3/5 * Macaroni & Cheese: The flavor was there, but it could've used a bit more oven time for that perfect baked finish. Still tasty, just a little underbaked for my liking. 4/5 Overall Thoughts: Uncle Tony's has great potential, especially if you're craving some solid barbecue. The ribs alone are worth the visit! As for a return trip? Possibly especially to explore more menu items and give them another shot. Customer service was great the lady that took my order explained how the meats were cook.

    Spare ribs, shred pork,ff, mac & cheese, cole slaw and corn bread

    For morhers day we had 12 people. The service was awesome, great people and meals and drinks came out fast. If I could give them a 100/100 I would. The smoked meat was perfect. My daughter had the beef dino rib which was huge. All the meat and the sides were amazing. I had spare ribs with sliced brisket. I think between all of us we tried all the meat. My grandaughter got the chicken breast and it was so juicy. We also tried all the sauces and they were perfect additions. My favorite were the vinegar with the beef and the mustard with my ribs. We will back!

    First time eating at Uncle Tony's. I got there just before the crowds started coming in for lunch. Pulled pork platter with 2 sides and cornbread was delicious. They make lima beans on Friday and Saturday. Nicely seasoned and very good. The collards were also quoted good. Some places don't do greens well. Not Uncle Tony's. The sauces were delicious. Mac and cheese great and the cornbread was fresh and sweet. Just the way I like.

    Absolutely love this place. All the foods here an s the almost festival like vibes of the Mills…read moremarket. Today I got to sample Kai Kai BBQ, and yum! Whent with 2 proteins because its so hard to pick. The crispy pork belly was so amazing! Just the right amount of fat and crisp and cooked to perfection. The soy sauce chicken had a very aromatic seasoning light but flavorful. Even the green stuff was great! It came with 2 sauces not needed but good for a little twist to the flavor, one I think was eel sauce (no eel included and the other one tasted mostly like green onions. There was a hefty portion of delicious fried rice (5$ upcharge )under the protein. The rice had a peanut flavor to it, it was light and aromatic, very delicious. Worth the upcharge?... I'll let you decide. Service was fast and friendly place was packed and things moving fast but the staf was personable and attentive and even popped a joke in our short interaction. Like all the other places in Mills Market, Kai Kai has earned a spot in Orlando's food scene. Now the tough part is deciding what to eat next time because it all looks and is soooo good!

    Was so excited to finally make it over to Mills Market! I had no idea there were multiple Michelin…read morespots in here, and though the inside is on the small side, we were able to snag a table. I'd recommend maybe coming on the early side for better seating! Kai Kai was our main focus for this visit, so we tried a little of everything! Dumpling and soup dumplings were good, but the soup dumplings had great flavor and really stood out! Fried rice was a great staple, and the ribs were well liked by the group. My favorite was the beef chow fun - the flavor was awesome on the beef and noodles! My only note is that for the price point, I'd love to have seen a bit more beef in the entree, but I'd still return just for this dish!

    EWWWW! They don't change their gloves after touching many things in the kitchen, including the cash…read moreregister. Then they literally grab the meat from the catering dishes with those same gloves. They didn't use tongs. They used DIRTY GLOVES GRABBING HANDFULS OF MEAT and put it right on the buns for the sandwiches. I saw this as I sat outside and observed this terrible behavior through the window. Gloves are the enemy of the food industry if not used properly. Untrained workers using gloves have no sense of "my hands are dirty" since they're wearing gloves. They routinely touch the counter, door handles, utensils, etc. which are usually touched by many others. Hopefully the owners who put their hard earned dollars into opening a restaurant for the community take the time to train their staff properly. Until then, this restaurant is DISGUSTING!!!! I would skip this place for now.

    I studied the menus at the new Avalon Park Marketplace and I was drawn to BBQ50's "Bat out of Hell"…read moresandwich. A BBQ brisket sandwich with pulled pork, beer cheese and a chopped up St. Louis rib is right up my alley. It was ok and for $16, I doubt I would go out of my way to go back. My issue is they are still acting like a mobile catering company. The brisket and pork were pre-cut and kept warm in chaffing dishes which definitely watered down the smoky taste. They did not have beer cheese either, but I did visit during their soft opening, and Bowigens did not have their liquor license yet. On the flipside, all of their sauces were fantastic and did elevate the taste, but not to the level of some of the area best BBQ joints. Again, soft opening so understandable, but delays were caused by how they implemented their ticketing system. I would say this is a good family spot for a quick meal if you are in the Avalon Park area, and their are several other vendors at the Marketplace. Self seating areas indoors and outside are kept very clean by staff. https://marketplaceatavalonpark.com/ Taste *** Quality/Freshness *** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service *** Atmosphere **** Bar Cleanliness **** Price $$$$

    Was craving fried chinese squid and I heard Tasty wok serves the best salt and pepper squid…read more They offer 2 portions: Appetizer size which is a small take out box or full portion. For the price you are better off with full portion for $15 ish - Appetizer is about close to $8. The Salt & Pepper squid here is delicious. First off - they used baby full squids. body and tentacles. Very lightly battered. And slices of green chilis throughout. It is tender and crispy from the light batter. Slight spicy but not much just notes of the chilies. Good to air fry when you reheat this. Def a must have from the Tasty Wok menu for sure!

    Red Roast pork soup is quite the comfort food. I've enjoyed this soup for many years. Tasty Wok…read moreis an institution! I order this soup with shrimp dumplings. Each time I order it, they tell me that shrimp dumplings are extra. They are very much worth it, by the way! The noodles in this soup are egg noodles. The tender bite draws you back. The chinese spinach is nourishing and offers iron to give you strength. The crispy pork is amazing. But it is really crunchy. At this restaurant they sell it by the pound, right along side the hanging duck which is by the pound as well. They sell so many dishes that are well-loved, but I tend to get the soup. It's so nourishing and flavorful. Top tip for parking...you can park in the back, but there are many restaurants on the same aisle so you sometimes have to wait for people to leave.
