Girl lemme tell you. This was some of the best bbq I've had in a longggg time. The brisket??? I wasn't even chewing!!! Practically dissolved in my mouth. The coleslaw??? Fresh. Creamy. Sweet. Deeeeelicious. The fries were so crisp and the seasoning was phenomenal. I stole a bite of my grandpa's mac and cheese and the pepper in it was absolutely perfect. Not only did we eat there, i HAD to order more brisket to go!!! I knew i was gonna need a late night snack and i KNEW all id be dreaming about is the mother f*ckin brisket. I had to switch up the sides and try the garlic mashed potatoes (review update coming soon). The staff was incredibly friendly and so kind with explaining the menu and helping us choose what we wanted. If you're in Orlando for 5 minutes, do not waste your time anywhere else. I will b back. (Late night update: bomb as hell cold) read more

I just moved to belle isle and 3 people told me I have to try this place, so of course I sprinted there... NO ONE prepared me for how visciously i would scraf down that sandwich. It was lunch for me, so I got the 3 sliders to try the different meats.. But the star turned out to be the coleslaw!!!! Brisket was a close second :-). The service was fantastic as well, they were pretty busy when I walked in, but they got through everyone quickly and all the workers were so pleasant, they clearly enjoy the place, which comes out in the food. I will be back to try more of the menu and I'll get some pictures, but if you are in the area, stop by, you won't regret it. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

We have eaten here for dinner before and lunch today. We found our Orlando favorite barbecue. This place is awesome and the food is spot on great. Love the sauces. We are very picky about barbecue. Their potato salad recipe is very unique and great. Making our own smoked meats, we know what we like and this place delivers. read more

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! read more

Uncle Tony's Backyard Bbq - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Orlando, Florida

First and foremost, the staff year was exceptional not only did they kind of help me out with my order. They also ensure to make sure I had everything in the box before I left. I couldn't quite give this a five star experience because there were two issues that kept it from being an exquisite experience. The first my ribs were dry. The flavor was good, but it was weird that the ribs were dry given how great the meat looked. Sometimes that happens you know so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt, but it just wasn't up to the standard that a good barbecue shop should have. The second was really small. I just wasn't a fan of the cornbread that really didn't downgrade them much at all. I'll come back and try other things. Maybe I can bump the rating up. read more

I stopped in for a to go order Saturday afternoon around 3p and it was busy. On the weekends, they offer specials, including their Dino beef rib, which I was there for. The service was amazing, very hospitable, and wanted to ensure that I knew about their business. On this trip, I just ordered meat which included half a pound of brisket, two orders of chicken, and the beef rib. They did inform me. It was gonna take some time as they were busy, which it did take about 35 minutes. I would say that best bet definitely get the tangy bbq sauce as it's like a mustard based sauce with a kick. I really enjoyed the brisket as it was not salty, but had that outer bark of season that was very flavorful. I would come back for the service and beef brisket alone! read more

This was my first time eating food from this restaurant. The employees were very friendly and pleasant. I ordered the sliced brisket and chicken, the brisket was very good, the meat was tender and had good flavor but the chicken was just ok. I liked the way it was cut thigh and drumstick with sauce on the side. The sauce was just ok as well. If I return it will be just for the brisket. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

My family and I are from Arkansas and Uncle Tony's is by far the best food in Orlando, not just BBQ but all food!! The restaurant was very clean, the food came out super fast. The entire staff were great and made us feel like family. I had the Mac Daddy burger and it was the most delicious burger I've had in my life!! The Hoss burger was just as good, I honestly recommend them both if you're here for burgers. The slider trio is very good as well. I will definitely be back whenever I'm in Orlando. Also if you're looking for some good dessert after your meal the banana pudding and chocolate pie is well worth it!! read more

I can't believe that I am just now discovering Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ. I did not know that I had been passing this Restaurant on my commute to downtown Orlando. I'm so glad I finally discovered it! I recently came across this Restaurant after watching a reel on instagram. I decided to give it a try. When I walked in, I immediately noticed how clean and neat the restaurant was. The restaurant has a casual and comfortable atmosphere. There are a good number of tables and chairs if you choose to dine in. There are also TVs for your viewing pleasure. The staff were so friendly! I can't remember the staff member's name taking orders at the register but she was so friendly, welcoming, pleasant, and patient. Since it was my first time, I had questions. She kindly listened, made suggestions, and didn't make me feel rushed to order. All the staff that I encountered were friendly and helpful! The weight time after placing my order wasn't long. I chose to get my food to go instead of dine in. As I waited for my food. I browsed around looking at all the different BBQ sauce options, the T-shirts the restaurant had to sell, and at all the pictures and photos on the wall. The food came out hot, which is good especially if you are getting food to go. It was packed well to keep food hot. I order a variety of food since it was my first time. I ordered chopped brisket, pulled chicken, baked beans, collard greens, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, fries, okra, sweet potatoes and corn bread. The food was delicious. All the sides were so good. The baked beans sweet and tasty. The potato sweet and savory. Anytime there's fried okra on the menu, I'm happy and these were done right. The fries had great seasoning on them. The greens were savory, didn't taste like they came out of a can. The brisket was tasty and delicious, just wished I had more BBQ sauce since I got my food to go. I like a lot of BBQ sauce on my meat. Definitely a great variety of food and value. Can't believe that this restaurant was under my nose for so long without me trying it. Now, that I know that this restaurant is so close to me and in route on my commute to downtown Orlando, I will definitely be back. read more

We were at the Florida Mall and looking for a place to eat and this was one of the top-rated places on Yelp and now I see why. Everything was top tier - let's start from the beginning. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by friendly faces. Uncle Tony's really has that home style mom-and-pop vibe that makes you think "Yeah this food is about to taste GOOD". As first-timers the kind young man up front walked us through their most popular dishes and their specials. Speaking of specials - they were extremely affordable. A meat, bread and 2 sides for $12.99?! Back to the food. One word: Delicious. Perfectly tender. Flavorful. Today has made me a regular customer. If you are having trouble deciding about what to eat, take this as a sign: GO TO UNCLE TONY'S BACKYARD BBQ!!! Thank me later. read more

I stopped by Uncle Tony's for lunch. It's a quaint little spot. The dining area is a little small but clean and nicely decorated. I was greeted as soon as I stepped through the door. Leshawnda, who I think is co-owner, described every dish I asked about. She even gave a heads up that the lunch portion is a little small. I had the lunch chopped brisket combo with baked beans and potato salad. Brisket was tender and tasty. Baked beans were also good. But the POTATO SALAD.....6 out of 5 stars. Yeah, it was off the chart. I'd never had potato salad that's sweet. But it wasn't overly sweet and tickled my taste buds. Uncle Tony personally brought out my order. Leshawnda checked on my table several times. It's obvious they care about their customers and take pride in their business. I'll definitely be going back. read more

From the moment you pull in, you smell the smoked meats. And when you leave your clothes, will smell like smoke meat as well lol. Everyone from the staff to the people that were in the environment were also so friendly and helpful ! They have a ton of food options. They even have a Mac daddy burger, which is a huge burger with their amazing mac & cheese on top. It's definitely something that I recommend that you share but they have lots of different combo options. You can get two meets with two sides for 24.99 which is a great deal! My favorite had to be the brisket and their mac & cheese, as well as their cornbread ! read more

First time visiting and the experience was great. When we walked in we were immediately welcomed with friendly faces and a very tidy restaurant. The women at the register was very helpful in explaining the items on the menu as well as any specials. I ordered the rib dinner which comes with 2 sides and bread of your choice. Everything was so good! I loved the sides and the ribs were tender and well seasoned. While we ate a few employees checked in or us to see if we needed anything, the service was great. And the portions of my dinner were pretty hefty, I had plenty to take home. I will be back! read more

I can't believe I just randomly came to this place because I was craving BBQ in the area. Everything was amazing - from the warmth of the staff to the absolutely DELICIOUS food. All the meats were so tender - we ordered the brisket, ribs, and sausages. All the sauces were excellent as well, I feel like I could straight up drink the vinegar bbq sauce haha it is THAT good. The service here is also next level. Everyone we talked to was so nice and friendly, especially the cashier. She gave us really great menu recommendations and welcomed us from the moment we stepped in the store. I can't wait to be back.

Uncle Tony's backyard barbecue, this place came highly recommended by one of my team members, small family run barbecue with a soul food vibe, walked in around 1:30 PM great 80s R&B playing in the background, greeted warmly by the entire staff at the counter welcoming us in, two tables in the dining room as we approach the counter, young lady asking us if this was our first time thoroughly going over the menu and seating us promptly and taking a drink order, drinks, arriving in two minutes, taking our order immediately, I decided to go with the brisket, Philly cheesesteak, the wife, two piece chicken, special with sautéed cabbage and beans, some fresh tots and smoked sausage, food arriving in 10 minutes, everything looking fantastic! Flavors hitting all over the place! Hot fresh delicious! the pictures will speak for themselves, very basic presentation but fantastic flavors all the way around, young lady behind the counter even came out to check on the food quality! Nice touch, truth be told too much food for two people taking most of this home with us but leaving this with you all to get over to uncle Tony's backyard barbecue. You won't be disappointed.

Stopped in at Tonys Backyard BBQ for lunch today. I was surprised how good the food tasted and the service was great. I met the owners Tony and his wife LaShunda who makes the ribs and all the side favorites, Mac & cheese, collards, sweet potatoes, cornbread and a host of other delicious mouth watering sides. Oh, I forgot to mention desserts are also available. (See menu). What makes the ribs tasty is the different sauces you can put on your ribs and they are smoked to perfection. Kudos, to you all for making my day with a great home cooked meal. Uncle Tony's is a hidden gem in Orlando...check it out. read more

Uncle Tony's was Amazing. The staff was warm, welcoming every customer when they walked in, friendly and extremely informative. Jacari is the perfect fit to be the first face and person to interact with you while taking your order or payment. The food came out quickly and I was pleased with how delicious and flavorful it was. The chicken and brisket were juicy and tender, which blew my mind being that we arrived after 6pm. Mac and cheese was the real deal, no box and baked beans were great containing brisket only and no pork. Highly recommend the collard greens with smoked as well. My only negative is that I forgot to take a pic, being so hungry and delicious we all dug in and ate it so quickly it was gone before we knew it. Overall an enjoyable experience and the family agreed we'll be back. read more

Uncle Tony's was another great Yelp find. Fresh off the plane and looking for some 'cue, Uncle Tony's was spot on.

This was a home run foot sure. Well worth a visit. read more

With such a high average rating I had to uber here on my way to the airport to check it out. Uncle Tony does not disappoint. Super friendly and helpful service. I got the 2 meat and 2 side combo. St. Louis ribs and brisket. Baked beans and potato salad. I also added pulled pork just to try after the server said it was her favorite. These were some of the meatiest ribs I've ever had. I also took a photo after a bite to show these were cooked perfectly. Very moist and tender. Perfect amount of smoke. Great bark and smoke on the brisket. I also added a single photo of the brisket. You can clearly see how juicy it is. So tender I pulled it apart with a fork. Excellent smoke and flavor. Pulled pork followed suit with the other 2 meats. Great bark, smoke and flavor. I thought I would just try the pulled pork. And I ate it all. Baked beans were flavorful and smoky. Potato salad had a sweet zing to it. And it was great as a side. I tried 4 sauces. Mild, hot, super hot and mustard. All of their sauces are thin. Which I prefer because it allows the bbq and smoke to shine through. While complimenting the meat. All are excellent. There's a spice used in all of them I can't put my finger on. I asked if they sell their sauce online. I'd buy this all the time if they did. Next time I visit Orlando I will make it a point to stop here if I can. I'm going to have dreams about this place. It was that good. read more

Amazing!!! And the owners are incredibly friendly and fun! The ribs are the best I've ever tasted and the brisket, best ever.

My dad and I chose this restaurant for dinner as it was a little closer to us compared to another restaurant that served barbecue. We definitely made the right decision; the reviews were accurate. We didn't have to wait long for our order. We ordered plenty to sample the menu, from ribs, brisket, pulled pork, potato salad, baked beans, mac and cheese, greens, lima beans, yams, and cornbread. We both had leftovers. The staff was pleasant and answered our questions about the sauces. Would definitely return when in the Orlando area. read more
