Food and service is amazing. This place never disappoints when craving BBQ. The BBQ sauce on the pull pork is the way to go,

Here's a clean and engaging review you can post or share: Willie's BBQ in Montverde - 10/10 I had the saucy BBQ rib tips with two sides--macaroni and cheese and collard greens--and I've got to say, this was some of the best BBQ I've had in Florida. The rib tips were tender, packed with flavor, and cooked to absolute perfection. I tried two sauces: a yellow BBQ and a traditional sweet BBQ. Both were spot on--bold, balanced, and not overwhelming. Just perfect. The collard greens had a nice smoky flavor and were cooked with smoked turkey, giving them that deep, comforting Southern taste. The mac and cheese was cheesy with perfectly cooked noodles (al dente), though I did have to hit it with a little salt and pepper from the packets--but still solid. This is a true mom-and-pop spot, and you can taste the care in every bite. Small place, big flavor. They hit it out of the park. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

Can't remember if ever I had a better meal for $10 my sandwich I couldn't finish my macaroni and cheese was delicious and the smiling face behind the counter was even better Thank you for lunch read more

Everything around here closes early so we didn't have much of a choice for dinner. It worked out because we would have never picked BBQ in Florida, being from TX. Everyone was so friendly and passionate about the food! The BBQ was good! Ribs were tender and flavorful. Sides were great! Check them out! read more

Friendly staff and excellent customer service. The pulled pork is delicious and the prices are reasonable. Can't wait to try this again.

Very pleasant place Fantastic prices (somewhat hard to believe) Best chicken around Pulled pork portion (huge) Looking forward to trying the ribs Small place Looks family owned (even met Willie) Staff is busy but very polite No Coke Zero (thanks to The Black Bear next door for helping complete our dinner). read more

This is a local bbq place located in Monteverde. Small and simple in decor and a small area outside to sit (one picnic table or two- 2 seater tables in the front). It's a small business and black owned which we loved as we are really looking to visit more local establishments and support minority owned businesses. My husband got the meal deal (2 meats and 2 sides). He got the ribs and chicken and for sides got the mac and cheese and the collard greens. The chicken was moist and you could taste the smoke flavoring in the chicken. The ribs are what we would refer to as catering ribs. They appeared to be boiled. Easy to eat off the bone but was lacking the smoke flavor we were looking for. I got the pulled pork sandwich with the baked beans as my side. The pulled pork really didn't have any flavor to it. I was expecting a little smoke or seasoning and got nothing. They have two sauces, a traditional bbq (on the sweeter side) and a Carolina style. I like the sauce on the pulled pork sandwich as it gave it a little more flavor. The baked beans were traditional and nothing more. Parking is limited but there is additional parking along the side by black bear kitchen. The staff at Willie's truly understand what hospitality means and are all very knowledgeable and truly cares about their customers experience. read more

This is a small place that you must try. They were so busy, people were getting food to go, calling in orders and a few dined in. Parking lots holds maybe 5 cars so we parked on the side of the black bear. I got the 1/4 chicken and it was the best I've had since I was a kid and dad grilled chicken. The potato salad was ok. Drinks are in a can or bottled water. Prices are unbelievable low. We met Willie himself, he was so nice. Love to support a small business. read more

Willie's BBQ has been highly recommended by the people of Clermont, and I'll say that now that I've tried it, I won't be going anywhere else for BBQ. This little hole in the wall stop is as good as it gets! The food is so fresh and savory, the meats are smoked to perfection, and the sides are tended to with the care they deserve rather than being an afterthought. The prices are a breath of fresh air in this economy and the service is top notch. Everyone that works at Willie's is so friendly and always happy to offer a suggestion. They're only open on weekends, and seating is limited, but our family loves to get takeout and walk over to the little park around the block to enjoy a picnic. This is such a great hidden gem in Montverde! read more

Quality BBQ and wonderful people. Plan your visit as they are only open on Fridays and Saturdays... and it's worth the visit.

What can I say, omg I live in orlando and drove to Willie's and by far the best ribs I have ever had. Willie's is the best he gave us chicken to take home and had it the next day and it was great. Willie and his daughter goes out of the way to make you happy. I will so be back to eat and visit with them. Bless you . Michael Carroll read more

Place has amazing barbecue pork sandwiches. Went there before a softball game at Montverde

I loved Mr Willie's Grill. I can not recommend this place enough. They are located in Montverde and only open on Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm. It's a tiny restaurant filled with so many odds and ends and this and that's. It is also filled with tons of gracious southern hospitality and delicious food. You can taste the love and definitely feel welcomed as if you were a family member. My oldest daughter and I stopped by on their one year anniversary. We ordered a chicken and ribs combo meal. It came with two side so we picked the baked beans and collards. The collards were nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. The chicken and ribs were so moist and tender. I immediately preferred their BBQ over all of the others that I have visited before. They added peach cobbler to their menu this week. It was delicious. The spices were smooth and warm. They enhanced the other ingredients and left me wanting more. I will be back often. read more

We stopped in this afternoon after reading multiple great reviews and they definitely lived up to their name. The pulled pork was phenomenal and lacked no flavor. The portion size is great and came with two sides for $8! Can't beat that price & flavor! The lady at the window was an absolute sweet heart and gave my boyfriend a free sample of her AMAZING homemade peach cobbler. We ordered at the window & received our food within 3-5 minutes. Such a cute hidden gem in Montverde. No complaints at all & will definitely be returning read more

Excellent BBQ! Very friendly staff. Only open on Friday and Saturday, so plan ahead. It's well worth it!

Oh my word!! People say Florida isn't really part of the south, but stop here and you'll change your mind! This southern bbq joint is clean, quaint and the family running it couldn't be sweeter. They are only open on Fri and Saturdays starting at 11-7. This place is a must! ! Try the pulled pork sandwich, which melts in your mouth, for $5.95 with two sides. Mac n cheese and potato salad are my jam. We were able to sample the ribs which were fall off the bone goood. And to top it off, the owner's daughter is a health inspector! You will be a repeat customer. We're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Do you like BBQ? Do you like Mac and cheese? Collard greens? Potato salad? Then, go here! My mouth is literally salivating while writing this review. Earlier this weekend, my husband and I were in the Montverde area and wanted to check out a local place. We stumbled upon "Willie's BBQ" after doing some online research and thought it was worth the venture. Everyone was so welcoming when we walked in! The lady who helped us was so friendly and walked us through the entire menu. She was simply wonderful! She also explained that Willie (her father) used to have a BBQ shop in Winter Garden, but he sold it to retire ... but she explained that cooking was just in their family because soon enough he found this place and opened his BBQ restaurant once again. And I'm glad he did! I got the chicken plate with Mac and cheese and cole slaw. **important: the Mac and cheese is only offered every other weekend. That's when you know it's good! And it WAS! My husband got the famous ribs and the pulled pork with baked beans, collard greens and potato salad. The only complaint is that we got so much food we couldn't finish it all! You can tell this is a family establishment, which I love. And they are certainly proud of what they do. The parking lot is very small, but it's a quiet area so you can always find something nearby. It's a simple building with a charming dining area. Very themed to a country BBQ joint. I noticed a lot of folks doing takeout, and they offer catering. We will certainly be back soon. I can still taste that mac n cheese and smoked chicken!! Mmmmmm read more

The family that runs this is so nice and friendly. We ordered the ribs with macaroni and cheese and the beans. They also gave us some peach cobbler and some pulled pork to try. The ribs are the best! We will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in here because I was looking for somewhere close by to where I was to grab a bite to eat. This little joint is worth going out of your way for. The menu is not extensive but they have everything you'd want in a great BBQ meal. Be sure to ask if they have any deserts. None on the menu but they had a choice of sweet potato pie or apple pie. Next time I get near here I'm trying the ribs. I'm certain that they will be great. read more

This is a MUST! Everyone should try this at least once. Got the chance to meet Willie and his wonderful wife. The nicest people you will ever encounter. They welcome you with open arms and just make you feel good. Peach cobbler is a must try as well!! Will 1000% be back with more friends! read more
