Love the food here and bonus, you can bring your furry friends. I love the smell of the wood fire bbq grill, as soon as you get out your car in the parking lot. They have a bar with many local craft brews. The names of the sandwiches in the menu make me laugh. Get anything with the bbq and you will love it. I love the tomato-cucumber salad as a side. It can get warm on the outdoor patio, but the vibe is always great and everyone is so friendly. Go early as they get crowded on weekends!

Went with some friends for an early dinner. It was raining out so there were plenty of seats. It was pretty quiet so we able to have a good conversation without yelling. We sat at the bar and the waitress was readily available. She made beer/cider recommendations as needed and also let us sample before choosing a drink. The food was amazing and came out pretty fast. I was just sad at the dessert availably nothing I really wanted.

Love this place but we don't come here as often since our dog passed over a year ago. Our friends (that are picky eaters) came here with us and had a great meal. Our friend didn't care for the potato salad, but it's person preference. You still have to order at the counter and get your own food when the buzzer goes off. There's a great variety for anyone, even vegetarians. They also have a great beer selection (per my husband). I don't think they do trivia or music bingo anymore, which is a shame. Those were always fun.

Yellow Dog's Famous Pulled Pork Sandwich with chips

Gretchen K.

My family has always wanted to check out this place for a while and we found time around the holidays and in the new year to stop in for a few meals. (It is dog friendly, but we chose to not bring our dogs with us both times, as we were out running errands prior to stopping in for a meal.) They have a good amount of parking available if you go a bit before a peak meal time. Regarding tables, there are a few on the back porch area, some out front, and there's the covered area out back. Some folks I've seen eat at the bar inside as well. Usually we've been able to find a table whenever we've come here. I've tried their pulled pork sandwich and the house made queso, along with one of their January specials which was their take on a meatball sandwich. Everything is made to order and it tastes very good, without being over-seasoned or heavy. My mom and I commented that the pulled pork does not taste greasy, which is not always easy to find whenever we go to BBQ places. Portion sizes are big - you could have leftovers in some cases, but our instances, we often skipped lunch and came closer to dinner, so we were pretty hungry. It's a lively space that is laidback and the food is very delicious. Definitely would come back here if I was in the area.

Amazing food & very personable staff. Even though it is more of a casual spot and you order your own food & grab it, the owner walks around the table and checks on you. My favorite dish was the ribs.

Florida Cracker-messy and huge and so good

Easily our favorite local find since moving to the surrounding area. This place has such a cool vibe. Seems like it has been around for ages and is well loved locally. Staff was all very friendly and welcoming once they found out we were new locals. Had some interesting conversations with a few people about Orlando and Atlanta (where we moved from) and BBQ in both places. You've got to see this place. It eclectic. couldn't be remade anywhere. Love spots like this. Dog friendly - we're really excited to got our fur kids on the wall one day. Everything we are was excellent. Huge portions and MESSY. Super messy - be prepared and don't wear white lol but truly so good. I'm going back to puck up some sauce for home sandwiches. I'm a big soup fan and when we inside figuring out or order someone yelled "don;t skip the soup" and with that I ordered a cup of soup which was excellent and fresh and again massive. A cup is more like a bowl. I bet a bowl is enough to feed a few people. Having been there once I can already tell you this is going to become a go -to spot of us and a fun local find to share with friends when they visit.

Stopped in for brunch at Yellow Dog Eats this afternoon and it did not disappoint. I had the curry chicken salad, and it was outstanding -- flavorful, balanced, and clearly made with care. Not overly sweet, not heavy, just really well done. It felt like one of those dishes you don't forget because it's simple but executed right. The space is what really sets this place apart. The restaurant is literally a retrofitted house that's been turned into a funky, welcoming eatery. Inside feels cozy and eclectic -- colorful walls, quirky vintage-style signs, wood ceilings, mismatched tables and chairs, and a warm "you're in someone's cool home" vibe instead of a generic restaurant feel. Then there's the covered outdoor area, which is awesome -- string lights, heaters, plants, wooden beams, open air, and tons of personality. It feels more like hanging out in a backyard patio lounge than eating out. Super relaxed and apparently pet-friendly, which adds to the laid-back neighborhood feel. It's casual, creative, comfortable, and just different in the best way. If you're looking for: * A unique brunch spot * Good food that's not cookie-cutter * A place with character and personality ...this is absolutely worth the stop. Highly recommend.

Another year, another 5 star review! If anything, somehow the ordering and food preparation has gotten faster? I'm not complaining! We appreciate the quick service as much as we appreciate the delicious food. I wish I could tell you I've convinced myself to stray from the pulled pork tacos but alas the song of the siren is too powerful!!! I will say they've added some options for sides over the years and the elote dip is a hit!

Amazing experience, great staff, beautifully decorated & DELICIOUS FOOD! The entire place is decorated with community furbabies! The Drinks and food all play into the theme. It is very beautiful & a true hole in the wall! Take your fur babies it's worth every penny!!

Amazing, multiple visits & everything has been great. What a fun, eclectic, unique, flavorful sandwich place. Excellent beer selection, orders are quickly served & vibe is exciting! All sandwiches are great. Something new to see every time we visit. It is easy to miss on the road, nestled between houses & neighborhoods so do not overlook this great venue.

LOCAL REVIEW: Yellow Dog Eats is a must for BBQ fans in Orlando. The location in Gotha is also their original! I love following their Instagram account to keep up with daily specials. You really can't go wrong with most items on the menu though. There is always a healthy serving of meat with everything that I have tried. The meat is always juicy and flavorful. I'm a person that enjoys sauce and it's always the right amount. Some of my favorite food items have been: White Trash (love their thick cut shredded Gouda cheese on top), Fire Pig (perfect for a light lunch with easy leftovers if you take half the wrap home), and the Sweet Potato Tico Tacos! Yes, even their vegetarian items pack a punch of flavor. Getting to this Gotha location takes you on an enjoyable ride through a lovely neighborhood that for your first time going there will leave you wondering if you're going the right way. When you arrive, you'll see the red and yellow signage calling you to the house that holds this cafe. There is plenty of parking behind the house and also across the street. As soon as you get out of your car, you can smell the smoker and then inside the house, you'll find eclectic decor. It feels like a space where all are welcome. Some of the staff are really chatty and some are not, but all are nice people. And sometimes the owner is there too! The best part is that dogs are also welcome in the covered outdoor section. There is usually also a water bowl or two around as well.

First time visiting Yellow Dog Eats after friends telling me to visit for a good long while. The atmosphere is so incredibly cozy - like the neighborhood bar. The walls are covered in nostalgic photos and artwork and signage, as well as stickers and graffiti from the patrons (and I definitely didn't add my name or anything...) The food is barbecue classics as well as exciting unique items like ahi tuna and salmon sandwiches, tacos and salads. I tried the Florida Cracker (pulled pork, smoked bacon and a bunch of toppings - AWESOME) as well as the light and well-spiced potato salad. GIANT brownies and oatmeal cream pies feature in the desserts case, and the cream pie in particular is highly recommended. The service team was inviting and friendly, cracking jokes and conversational making you feel right at home. Just a fun, lovely experience!

I love going to eat at a cool local restaurant for the first time. Recently I had the pleasure to visit Yellow Dog Eats in Gotha. If you don't know about the #sandwicheatup events hosted by Anthony "Biggie" Bencomo of Deli Fresh Threads, you need to check him out on @Twitter and Instagram to check out his cool local brand, @DeliFreshThrds. This #sandwicheatup was a great opportunity to see other local bloggers and foodies, and enjoy a meal together. I had a hard time deciding what to get. The menu had a ton of selections that all looked good! I finally made a decision, and went with the Puppy Love sandwich (and had them add fluff). This sandwich was awesome! It was made of peanut butter, strawberry preserves, chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff, sliced strawberries and bananas on wheat bread (so, it's kinda healthy, right?)! And how cute is it that they serve this sandwich with Animal Crackers! I had to have something savory with all this sweet, so I opted for a side of the BBQ bacon potato salad! Oh my word was this good. Instead of a mayonnaise based salad, this had spicy mustard. It was spicy and fantastic! Yellow Dog Eats has cool, funky decor. They have a little area where they sell their sauces, and in the corner, a little bar. (Try the strawberry mojito, it's excellent!) They have a great outside "garden" or patio area where you can eat as well. (You can eat inside a VW van! Groovy!) It also has a pretty cool history. You definitely need to make the trip out - - it's basically right off of 408 and Good Homes Road (take Good Homes to Old Winter Garden, and turn onto Hempel off of Old WInter Garden)! It's worth it! read more

This Place Rocks! It has a very unique atmosphere of laid back sophistication and relaxed fun especially if you are a dog person. Everything I have tried on the menu and some things not on the menu were great. The best pulled pork and Bar-B-Que chicken in Orlando. All the other unique food combination are great as well. Park in the back under the trees and eat in the flower garden courtyard. You won't be disappointed. Great place for lunch, to just meet someone to grab a glass of wine or if you want to make a unique impression have a business meeting upstairs under the monkey chandler. Cool stuff.

I'm a huge fan of BBQ and Yellow Dog delivers amazing quality in spades. I had the loaded Rufus sandwich with chips and it was beyond incredible. The combination of the raspberry melba with the Gold BBQ sauce is so perfect it'll make you want to scream in delight. The thick slices of brie are an interesting choice and they compliment the sandwich phenomenally. I'd recommend it (with the added shoestrings, onions and bacon, of course). The sandwich alone is a full meal! The ambience of the restaurant is also quaint and inviting. My friends and I sat outside in the expansive outdoor seating area as it was a lovely day. It was a great dining experience all around with friendly staff and good service. Top of the tops in my book. read more

I had The Spicy Green Giant with the avocado hummus and it was delicious. The sandwiches are huge and our entire family devoured everything. My husband got The Florida Cracker, my dad got The Holy Crap, my brother got the Club Elvis, and my mother got the Johnny Rocket. They have gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options which is a huge plus. We also got a slice of the chocolate cake which was massive and to die for.

I just had water to drink, but ordered a lobster bisque soup (11 dollars) to feel better. It came very quickly, and it was a bit lukewarm. It was still a nice soup with some nice pieces of shrimp and a creamy bisque with sherry flavor. For the main meal, I enjoyed the shrimp tacos (14 dollars), which looked big and have ample amount of shrimp, picked slaw, pico de gallo, in a siracha aioli sauce. It was filling enough that I ate two, and saved the last one for the next day. The sauce provided the right kick, and the vegetables were fresh enough. There were enough shrimp to enjoy too. For the price paid, it was a nice deal. For dessert, they were served in season 52 shot glass style, so I tried the bruleed cheesecake (4 dollars). There was too much powdered sugar as it could have been fired better, but the cheesecake was still light and enjoyable. The service was quick, but casual. My server was friendly and helpful. He suggested to the 3 dessert shots of 10 dollars deal, but it would have been too much got me. The atmosphere reminds me of an upscale Moe's tavern, because it looked empty and a bit down. There wasn't much of a crowd and it was pretty quiet. Only the soft rock background music provided a little vibe. I paid using Inkind, which was quick an easy. I also had a 10 dollars off deal from Inkind, making my meal only 26 dollars after taxes and tips. Parking was easy since there wasn't many people, even in a Saturday. This restaurant is very close to Fresh Market, so you can get gourmet groceries afterwards.

We went to a cooking class advertised by this company and this would have been a 4-star review…read morebecause the food was excellent but we did not do any of the cooking. More on that later. I bought a cooking class groupon for two people and the class was organized by this company. The company offers multiple services from personal chef and catering to spa days and consulting. They had multiple classes available and each one focused on a theme. The one I chose was "Superfoods". The class was held at a restaurant called Habibi (close to downtown Disney) on a Saturday at 11:00am. It was perfect for a day-date and that was my thought when I bought it. So, when you buy a cooking class one would think you would be doing the cooking in your own station while the chef shows what to do in his own station. Well, this was not the case, which to be honest was really, really dissapointing to me as I wanted my BF to learn how to cook something. They set up one single station and long tables around it for everybody on the class to sit and watch. They had a menu already set up for the class and the way that it would work was that the chef was going to show us how to do only certain components of the dishes on the menu. The other components were cooked in the restaurant kitchen. Bummer. He did called most of the people up front to help with certain cooking tasks like cutting, juicing, stirring and serving. They had a nutritionist there and he was explaining to us what were considered superfoods and how some of the ingredients to be used in the class (coconut water, goji berries, butter, cauliflower, salmon, honey, etc) were good for you. We started off with a refreshing shot of coconut water. The first course was a miso soup (cooked in the station) but instead of tofu he used cauliflower which I thought was an awesome substitution. It was light and delicious. They also gave us one big glass of white wine which was nice too. The main course consisted of the most amazing brown rice I've ever tasted and I usually hate brown rice. They mixed-in goji berries with the brown rice and that gave it a great kick. They topped the rice with a piece of salmon dressed in ponzu sauce that the chef did on the station. The ponzu sauce was outstanding and so was the salmon. They did tell us the ingredients to recreate the dishes. And I found out about the most amazing butter EVER! The brand is called Plugra and I found it at my local Publix. I really enjoyed it but I would have loved it if we were the ones doing the cooking. I still would consider participating in other cooking "classes" because I really enjoyed the food after all. And isn't that what's important? Yes!

During a recent visit to Orlando, I found myself on a quest for a dog-friendly restaurant that could also satisfy my culinary cravings. After some research, I discovered Yellow Dog Eats, located at 1236 Hempel Ave, Gotha, FL. The phone number is 407-296-0609. From the moment I stepped in, the inviting and lively atmosphere enveloped me. The vibe was chill, making it an ideal spot for both humans and their furry companions. My pup, Bissy Elliott, was welcomed with open arms, receiving treats and even a piece of bacon from the friendly staff. As I browsed the menu, I initially intended to order the intriguing pulled pork salad. However, after chatting with Matt, the manager with over 11 years of experience, I was convinced to try the ribs instead. He mentioned they were a must-have for first-time visitors, and I was hooked. The ribs, dry-rubbed and smoked in-house, were available in a half rack for $17.99, served with a bag of chips and a side of their homemade Carolina barbecue sauce. I opted to substitute the coleslaw for macaroni salad, a decision I was grateful for as it complemented the meal perfectly. The ribs were tender and smoky, with a wonderful balance of sweetness and tanginess from the barbecue sauce. The macaroni salad was light yet flavorful, enhancing the meal further. To wash it all down, I ordered a half-and-half sweet tea, which struck the right balance between sweet and refreshing. And for dessert, the orange cream cake was a nostalgic delight, moist and fluffy just like the classic treat. The staff's hospitality made the experience even better. They took the time to take Bissy's picture for their social media, showcasing their love for dogs. The option to sit indoors or outdoors, coupled with a clean environment and rocking 80s classics playing in the background, made for a memorable dining experience. Yellow Dog Eats is a place I will undoubtedly return to on my next visit to the area. read more

Great Food and Local Destination! I have been here several times, and whenever someone comes to visit, this is definitely on the agenda. It is a bit out of the way sometimes, but worth the drive. The lunch rush on the weekends does get a bit crowded fast. However; the wait never goes unrecognized by the staff and the owner can be seen going around greeting people, refilling drinks, and often acting as a carnival barker making sure everyone knows the special and why it is the special. Nice and entertaining while you wait in line to order, overall makes it a more pleasant experience. There is really nothing on the menu to recommend since everything I've had has exceeded my expectations. The best advice I always give is to read the menu; if it seems interesting to you go for it, you'll love it! And if you think it may be interesting but not sure, ask someone around you or one of the people working there. Seating sometimes is an issue during the rush and the line to order can be awkward if it's your first time. But, the people that are eating at Yellow Dog typically don't mind sharing a table and there are plenty of pictures of people's dogs on the wall to look at while you're waiting in line. Pleasant Surprises: 1. The coleslaw that comes in a little shot glass sized cup with almost every sandwich: it is fantastic! It has a crisp citrusy hint that is refreshing on hot days. 2. The wait in line does work well with the seating, so by the time you have ordered there usually is a seat available somewhere no matter how crowded it may seem. read more

Yellow dog eats is one of the coolest places I've been able to discover while eating. It's not much of a secret, during out lunch time visit there was a line almost out the door. Everything here is done so well and unique, with the decor, atmosphere, and most importantly the food, miles above so many other places. I visited with my family over Christmas. My mom doesn't go out to eat too much, she has lived Windermere for years and ever visited YDE. But as we were leaving she told Fish, the owner, that she would be back. Good wine and beer line the walls of what is basically a simple sandwich shop that hones its craft with a few basic and succulent flavors. Soups, salad, and wraps round out the entire menu. YDE has some of the best buffalo sauce I've ever had. Perfect amount of tang, flavor and heat. There are so much fresh ingredients used here, and it really makes a difference. The pulled pork is tender and flavorful by itself, which not many places can do well. Bottom line: The crowds are proof of how excellent this place is. It's rare and refreshing to see a restaurant owner so happy and involved with customers. This is the kind of space that the travel of food network wants to discover/exploit. Get here ASAP. read more

Don't let the weird name put you off going to eat here, it's actually a pretty great place to eat and certainly one of the best in Orlando. All the staff were amazing, they were so friendly and had really outstanding and outgoing personalities. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very friendly and casual and the prices of everything were very reasonable. I haven't been to many restaurants like this one, and it's definitely unique with its dog friendly policy which is rare. The food there was incredible too, the worst thing about the restaurant was having to watch all sorts of delicious food being waved right past us as it's taken to other tables. The menu has tons of options which is great because I don't like being limited when it comes to what I'm eating. I would definitely go the restaurant if I come back to Orlando, cannot recommend this place highly enough. read more

Oh Yellow Dog Eats, how I Love thee let me count the ways! Really can't go wrong here, what healthy restaurant you know that can also dish out some delicious BBQ as well?! This swanky place is a local favorite of mine in Gotha, Fl after a bike ride or a casual Saturday. I love that they have extended their patio and outside bar area to accommodate the hustle and bustle days they have often. Fresh ingredients including gourmet salads, sandwiches, wraps, vegetarian options, and BBQ is a combination for a fantastic food joint that you'll keep coming back for time and time again. Call in orders are recommended on the weekends if you don't want to be in line. Must try's are the Blue Sued shoes, Pulled pork salad, Ahi poke taco's, Black Lab's Lunch, and the BBQ ribs! They also have a Happy Hour Mon-Fri 2pm-6pm and Live Music Thurs-Sat 6pm-9pm. Enjoy! read more

The vibes here are absolutely top-notch! From the moment we walked in, we were drawn in by the eclectic and chill atmosphere that feels just right--whether you're on a romantic date night or simply looking for a cozy spot to enjoy amazing food. As we flipped through the menu, it was nearly impossible to choose; everything looked so tempting, we wanted to try it all. Every dish we ordered was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and truly satisfying. You can tell the chefs pour their heart into the food. The ambiance is both laid-back and vibrant, with just the right balance of energy and comfort. It's the kind of place where you can relax and let the evening unfold without a care in the world. In fact, this place has officially made our must-return list. We'll make it a point to stop by--it's more than worth the side trip. read more

this place is the best! I'm a picky eater so I can't say I've tried everything, but what I have tried is phenomenal! I love the fact that there's covered outdoor seating and a bar where your dog is welcome to join you (beware there is a resident kitty!) and entertainment for the outdoor seating. each member of the staff I've spoken to is pleasant and courteous. my only complaint is that there are VERY few options for individuals looking for ADA compliancy. if it's too hot or cold to sit outside, there are only a handful of indoor fables on the first floor. the second floor has plenty of extra seating, but is not accessible to a party with a physical disability. if you're in the area, go try it our, you won't be disappointed in the food!! read more

Here's a review you can use for Yelp: I had such a fantastic experience at Yellow Dog! I tried the Classic Yellow Dog Club and the Yellow Dog Pilsner, and both were absolutely delicious. The sandwich was perfectly made with fresh, flavorful ingredients, and the Pilsner was crisp and refreshing, a perfect pairing! The service was just as great as the food. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel so welcome throughout my visit. The atmosphere really tied everything together!

All I can say is Yellow Dog Eats is the bomb. I've tried everything on the menu and it's ALL GOOD. My favorites are the BBQ because they smoke their own meat (pulled pork, ribs, chicken). Their daily specials are always amazing - Pulled Pork Nachos, Mahi Wowi Taco's and the list goes on and on!!!! What's sets Yellow Dog apart is the LOVE they put in the food. This place has character and the staff are some of the nicest people in town!! You'll most likely find Fish, the owner, perusing through the restaurant making sure everyone is happy and yelling out the daily specials to people as they walk in the door. Enjoy and don't go to often because I don't like to wait too long for my food. read more

Have mercy. The food here is so good! From the kitschy decor to the awesome staff (and great beer) this place is perfect. Pet friendly and nestled under Spanish Moss covered trees, this is a Southern Dream. I had the Floroda Cracker which is pulled pork on White Bread with pickles, coleslaw and fried onions. The BBQ sauce here is delicious, so grab a little extra for soppin'! As a Southerner now living in the Big Apple, this place was a little piece of home that I discovered on a work related trip to Orlando. You will not be disappointed. Many reviewers mentioned crowds. I went at 8pm on a Saturday night and it was empty. read more

I had the pulled pork sandwich. Soon after eating it my stomach began to ache and grumble so loud you could hear it over the live music. Not long after that I knew it wouldn't be long before I would be perched on the launch pad performing my impersonation of the space shuttle taking off. I proceeded to run as fast as humanly possible to get as far away from that place so I could begin the count down to liftoff. Well it happened in one long glorious blast as what seemed like two solid rocket boosters went off simultaneously beneath me. If you like extreme gas and the pains that go along with it then this is your place. read more

Yellow Dog is a great place to grab a casual bite to eat and relax with family and/or friends. The owner, Fish, is an engaging and apt host whenever he is in the house. The chef(s) create simple dishes (sandqiches, grilled items, bar-b-q, etc.) that use fresh ingredients that enhance the plate. The desserts are great as well (although I am not sure if they have a service that provides them) as is the fresh iced tea. YD also has an extensive wine list although the prices are a little higher than expected for such a casual place. If you are in the area, however, a stop at Yellow Dog is highly recommended. read more

In the quiet town of Gotha is a place that serves some of the best food in Orlando. If you have nothing to do some afternoon, take a small drive over to the Yellow Dog. I have been visiting the dog for over 5 years. The menu has a great selection and if you follow them on facebook, you can find out about some of the great daily specials. Those include the Mahi Wraps and my favorite Smoked mac & cheese. Then there is the BBQ ribs and smoked half chickens. So grab the dog and head on over to the yellow dog. read more

Food was tasty but it's just a sandwhich shop that you order at the counter and pick up when ready. Highly over rated to be considered the #1 place to eat in Orlando. The barbque is average and served with plastic forks/knives. Each sammich by itself is near 10$, pulled pork is pretty much the cheapest of all barbecue meats and just can't support that pricing in my mind. Maybe the ribs and pork are worth the visit but the sanwhiches and wraps were pretty crappy right down to the cubed prefab chicken. read more

Such a great little restaurant. It is bbq so nothing too fancy, but wonderful for a leisurely lunch. The sandwiches are named witty names and all have a little twist on a typical bbq sandwich (my son in college loves this place). There is parking out back and across the street and you have to look around to find the seating, but there is plenty there once you look upstairs and out back. Really fun spot not to be missed. And be sure to grab some sauces from the shop on your way out. read more
