    Stopped at Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ, and for $16, and great service this might be one of the best BBQ 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.

    Brisket Plate - $1 extra for cornbread - Sweet Tea with Splash of House Lemonade

    1 star for EXPERIENCE. 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!

    Brisket and pulled chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans

    As someone who eats out often, it's hard to get wowed with food. This place is as authentic as it gets. Brisket was delicious, ribs were perfectly cooked and the beans... wow! We ordered a second side of beans. The staff were courteous and helpful, checking on our table to make sure everything was good. We were there for lunch and everyone there had such a nice vibe and tells you is family oriented place. Thank you for giving my family one more reason to come back to Orlando more often.

    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!

    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.

    Brisket Dinner with Beans Okra and Cornbread
    Mitchell F.

    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.

    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.

    Best bbq I've ever had! The service was amazing. I will be back everytime I visit Florida!!! Thank you for being the highlight of my trip3

    Best bbq and service!!! Don't hesitate to come here you will leave full and happy and wanting to come back for more. Wish you had a location in Cali:( I'll be back when I'm in Florida thank you !!!

    Vanilla biscoff cake
    Brett N.

    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 sandwich
    Ashleigh K.

    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!

    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!

They did still have the giant beef rib when we arrived. But at $36 a rib, we opted to go with the pork ribs instead. Each of the general protein servings is a half pound. So we ended up with a portion of the pork rib, the pulled pork and the pork belly. The pork ribs was really good, although my husband didn't like the glaze that they had on the rib but the meat was delicious. The pulled pork was very good not fatty, which is fantastic. The pork belly is cut into giant chunks. It is very tasty. It does have a decent amount of fat on it. This location also has a variety of sides to choose from. We opted for the collard greens and the mac & cheese. The collard greens were good. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. As some of the pieces were a bit crunchy. The mac & cheese was good although the cheese sauce felt a little gooey and we attributed to that they may use a rue to make their sauce. Overall - we enjoyed the food and would check them out again.

I can't even get my own refill of iced tea you have to have your waitress take your plastic cup while you hold your straw to get a refill. I was told to wait at the bar to place an order. Then I stood there for two minutes before being asked if I wanted a menu. Then I waited to place an order. The bartender informed me that he has to make a couple drinks before he can get to my iced tea ( self service wouldn't have this issue) .

The worst part was the cornbread I got was about an inch and a half diameter cupcake. I don't know what they charged me for the cornbread, but it was too much for the Costco free sample size of cornbread I got. I felt like I just ordered the cornbread small plate at an American themed European restaurant. Aside from the cornbread, they do know how to do their food well but they have no direction. Please get rid of the liquor license you only need beer. Get rid of the DJ. Make your cornbread in a pan or a skillet and make it big enough that one hand eating is challenging. This should be an all American barbecue place where it's Fourth of July every day.

The ordering process is simple, you place your order with the cashier at the front. During the dinner rush, expect a long line, but it moves at a steady pace. If you visit during off peak hours, ordering is much quicker. After placing your order, you find a table, and a server brings your food directly to you. For our meal, we ordered: Ribs - They had a rich smoky flavor with a perfectly seasoned dry rub, and the barbecue sauce added just the right amount of sweetness and tang. Brisket - The brisket was cooked perfectly with a flavorful bark on the outside and a moist, tender center. Every bite was packed with smoky goodness and melted in your mouth. Sliced Turkey - The sliced turkey was surprisingly moist and full of flavor. It had a light smoky taste and was anything but dry, making it an excellent choice alongside the other meats. What impressed me most was how quickly our food arrived, even with the restaurant being busy. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, the dining area was clean, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. If you're visiting Disney Springs and craving quality barbecue without the wait of a table service restaurant, The Polite Pig is an excellent choice. I would definitely eat here again.

    This is Oviedo's hidden treasure! The brisket is amazing (seriously - 4 Rivers and Bubbalou's…read moreshould be worried). It just fell apart in your mouth and had such a delicious flavor. I had the smaller bowl (1 meat and 2 sides) and it was enough to feed me for 2 meals. OMG the beans! There were 3 or 4 types of beans in it and it was incredibly hard to not gobble them all down instead of saving some for my hubby to try at home. My friend had the cornbread casserole which she said is her favorite side after the beans (I'm GF so I couldn't have that but I wanted to!). Another friend had the Bbq brisket sandwich with potato salad and she said the potato salad was really tasty. Just so you know - this is a very small restaurant. No inside seating, just picnic tables outside. (Some are shaded.) There is an area outside to wash your hands after eating and you can download their app and order online which gets you $5 off your meal (that's a good deal) but even without a discount, the food is worth every penny and the portions are generous.

    I used their app to order online because I had heard they sell out. I ordered a brisket and ribs…read morecombo that came with a side and drink. Plus a pulled pork sandwich. 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.

    Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ is one of my favorite local AYCE. I've been going there since they opened…read more It's a clean and modern aesthetic with typical hot pot and grill at the tables The staff and servers are always attentive and nice. The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

    I've been so many times but all I have is a picture of not meat! lol…read more This is one of Volcano's newer locations on the east side of town. They do both hot pot and kbbq. You can pick one or add the other for only $5 more. They have a good selection of meats, veggies, and others. The app selection isn't my favorite compared to other restaurants but still varied. And the sauce bar is always stocked. If you're hungry, this is the place to go!

    Not bad for BBQ near a tourist area. The service was great with the cashier giving some great…read moresuggestions for me as a first time visitor. 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 service was great and the prices were fair. Cute little space that was too crowded…read more However the food was okay at best. It definitely wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. 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.

This restaurant truly puts our soldiers, firefighters, police officers and first responders first and offers delicious and amazing bbq (and more) on their menu and let me tell you, it's some of the best in the area! Super friendly and hardworking staff with a positive attitude and giving their best to their customers. Upon asking one of the staff members about their job, "I LOVE working here!" was their response. Appreciated the positive vibes and energy. The interior is cozy, relaxing, and so much to look at on their walls. There is a very nice seating area outside (with umbrellas) that can be enjoyed, weather permitting. Truly American with a southern flair and great country music playing while you enjoy an amazing meal! With a small donation to support our heroes, you get their American Heroes Cup and and by the way, when in season, strawberry shortcake (homemade) is "to die for!" You won't be disappointed!
