Awesome! The food, the people, the beer, the music, the atmosphere, etc... My favorite local hangout. Get the nachos and wash them down with an ice cold beverage. read more

I never would have known that this gem exists without a coworker taking me there. Definitely hidden and I feel like only spread by word of mouth but the off was amazing! Very casual atmosphere in the converted house with plenty of parking around back. Has very good barbecue dishes without feeling like a smokey barbecue place and lot's of original dishes to choose from. Make sure you save room for dessert too as they all look amazing! read more

I had my first chicken and waffles here and it was AMAZING! The chicken was crispy and had the perfect texture and complimented the soft waffles with a BBQ sweet glaze with syrup. I had this for breakfast and lunch because it was huge and so worth the second attempt to finish it all. Great job! read more

It's a pretty good place. I had the "pulled pork nachos" but substituted for chicken instead of pork. I like the feel of the place, which is a mix of an old, country, rustic, artsy, home feeling. Fairly relaxing, actually. And the food tasted very homemade which I loved. It didn't taste heavy at all, and now I want to try more! I didn't know they had live music on certain days so I'll definitely have to check that out next time. Will return. read more

This place is amazing. Its worth the trip from anywhere in Orlando. The pulled pork salad is to kill for. The owner is a great guy and is very hands on. read more

I cant believe I havent written a review on Yellow Dog Eats! This place is definitely one of my all time favorite places in all of Orlando. And I know im not the only one who thinks that. I go to Yellow Dog probably once every week, if not more often, and I have several friends who are always eager to join. I have tried almost every item on the menu, and I dont really have anything negative to say about any of them. I recently became a vegetarian at the beginning of the year, and was delighted when Fish introduced their new vegetarian/vegan menu. A few of my friends swear by their "Club Elvis" sandwich, and the "Thin Elvis" sandwich, both are delicious (one a slightly healthier choice). My mom gets the exact same thing every time she goes, (Im trying to help her branch out - creature of habit, you know) She gets the Waldorf Salad, on a sandwich, and a side of the Chicken Curry. AMAZING! For the vegetarians out there, the options we have are quite diverse, and all very tasty tasty. I really enjoy the "Jolly Green Giant", and the "Beast of the Middle East". Also, I must add.. the desserts are fan-frikkin-tastic! Hands down best chocolate cake Ive ever eaten, the coconut cake is a definite must, and I personally love the Orange cake. :) The staff is super super friendly, always willing to help you out with questions about the menu. The place itself is incredibly cozy, and very welcoming, with an adorable back patio on which to enjoy your fabulous food. I have taken many people to Yellow Dog Eats, and I must say, nobody has ever been disappointed. :D read more

I've heard about YDE for years. Once we finally moved to the west side of town, we were up for trying it out. This place is a little kitschy, but some of the food is very good. I absolutely loved their pulled pork, but was not thrilled with my mozzarella and tomato salad. I also wasn't impressed with the service, no one seemed to be happy to be there. I hope to have an even better experience next time! read more

I was in town and had heard of Yellow Dog Eats before so we checked it out. It was absolutely wonderful! They had tons of great sandwiches and great BBQ options! The environment was super cool and outdoor seating was great. It has a unique feel to it with great service and great food!! read more

I had the ahi fish tacos and the tuna was so fresh! It melted in your mouth. Great flavor on the tacos, not the standard same old, same old. Yummy, fun food! Everyone at my table enjoyed theirs. It is a little far out for me but I do want to go back. There aren't waiters it is a place where you go up and order yourself. Oh, and the peanut butter brownie was really good too! Yum. read more

After reading some of the reviews we decided to give it a try for lunch... We all weren't impress and thought this place was overrated. We had the Elvis sandwich and the Yardhouse sandwich. Both sandwich was drenched in bbq sauce and was too sweet and hard to eat. Come to Texas for some real pull pork sandwich that doesn't need to be masked with sauce. The layout is nice with the outdoor patio and service was quick. Average price is $13 for a sandwich, drink, and chips read more

We have been regulars for years. We have not enjoyed recent changes. The worst has been the band. We couldn't leave fast enough today. Way too loud, not peaceful like the garden area used to be and which was something we really enjoyed a lot. Very disappointing. We don't know if band is every weekend but, if so, will be an end to a ten + year favorite place for us, at least for dinner. We think you are messing too much with what used to be a good thing. The band is a deal breaker for us. The best part of your garden area was the tranquility. We hope you will not continuing every weekend evening. Should only be occasional events not every weekend. We couldn't even hear each other talking. We only gave three stars bc of your great history. The atmosphere was 1 star for us. read more

Absolutely loved both the food and atmosphere of this place. Went in for the fist time and had no idea what to order. The staff was very friendly and encouraged me to try something I never would have on m own: A BBQ sandwich with goat cheese! AMAZING! The next time I am in the area I plan on going back! read more

This place is awesome...a unique and rare find. Very laid back and casual. The sauce and plates are all outstanding. The only reason I did not give it a perfect score was because they advertise they are gluten-free; and they are not. They offer one salad (anyone could claim they are gluten-free if all it took was one salad) and one desert. My wife, unfortunately, cannot eat there; so I don't get to visit often. But, I still make the trek solo b/c it is that good. read more

Excellent... A bit pricey but that is typical for Florida... Barbecue was solid, nothing exceptional but very good flavor ambience was amazing read more

My husband and I found this little gem on yelp while shopping in Orlando. I had the kitty kat salad and my husband ordered the Johnny Rocket sandwich. He said it was the best he's had in a long time. My salad was great and the dressing outstanding. We'll be back! read more

Great find. Had the bleu suede shoes sandwich and I left stuffed. I drive 30 minutes to go here and it was definitely worth it. This place is really a hidden gem and would recommend it to anyone. read more

Great BBQ. Loved the sauce. I had the Elvis club BBQ sandwich. Seating inside was limited but there was a nice shady patio with seating. Relaxing atmosphere. read more

In a word, this place is; "FANTASTIC!" I've had several items off their menu as well as specials and have never been disappointed. I've also attended their craft beer nights (check schedule) and had a great time. Always happy to recommend YDE's to friends and out-of-towners looking for good food and a unique atmosphere! read more

Amazing potato salad - they use what appear to be roasted potatoes in the potato salad. Yum. The curried chicken salad wrap was excellent and all the cute doggos visiting were a great addition. read more

Amazing! One of the best sandwiches and ribs I have ever had! I tried the Florida cracker and my husband tried the ribs.

There is no better place in Central Florida for a sandwich and the BBQ is ridiculous. When I need pulled pork I can only get the Rufus at Yellow Dog. There isn't a thing there that I haven't enjoyed and I've been there several dozen times over the last 2 years. If you haven't gone - go now. read more

We're from Tampa, so anytime we're anywhere near Central Florida, we are willing to go out of our way to come here. The sandwich choices are unique and delicious, and the is cute (even though it can get crowded on weekend night). I'm stuck on The Rufus, but I just tried the Hong Kong Fuey today and that was also killer. We also usually get a tomato and mozzarella to share. It is a bit pricey, but we think it's worth it since we don't get to have it all the time. read more

Ok, YDE. Here's the deal. I don't even live on that side of the state. Traveled to Orlando and was told this was a must-try. I went the first day of my visit. And every day after that. No joke. And I'm currently trying to figure out how I can get out there again. It's ridiculous. First of all, it's charming. Like, toats adorbs even (yes, I said that). But beyond that, the food is incredible. I had a sandwich one day that had the craziest combo of stuff on it, but was fantastic! And it was the size of a small child, too. Seriously, YDE - you're magic. read more

Would give it six stars if I could. Was worth every second of the 9 minute detour off of hwy 91. The Holy Crap sandwich was phenomenal and a must for any goat cheese lover. Be sure to start your meal off with the a avocado hummus. Let me know when you're ready for a franchisee in MO. read more

Never disappointed and love bringing out of Townes here for some delicious sandwiches! Atmosphere is fantastic... food is great...staff is wonderful. read more

Always a great time at yellow dog. Lunch can be crazy busy but the BBQ is worth it. Kids love the fluffy love sandwich. Back patio was redone and offers a great relaxing atmosphere. Watch out for the roosters. read more

Great, unique food. Worth the drive. Park out back and walk through the patio to get inside. Grab a menu and line up at the counter. Order then wait for them to call your name. read more

Are here while in town. Not from this area, but am always looking for local places to eat instead of franchises. Service was well above par and very helpful in guiding me through their menu. I got the club Elvis which was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Fast. Friendly. Delicious. read more

I'm from LA, and adventurous when it comes to food. During a one month stay in Orlando, I tried at least 25 different restaurants, and this was by far my favorite. You wouldn't expect such delicious eats to come from a quiet, unassuming place hidden away in a rural area secluded by trees that's off the beaten path, but herein you'll find the best pulled pork sandwich you'll ever eat. The homemade sauce also packs quite a kick and is worth buying a bottle to take home. read more

This place makes me smile. The menu is absolute creative decadence. I pull a menu, stand and scan the selections for endless moments before ordering. Its easy. There are so many wonderful selections to chose from. The compilations are so beautifully paired to choose just one feels as if you are missing out on so much. So, I decide to return soon so I can try something else. read more

I love yellow dog eats. I had never heard of it until Trip Advisor, and I live in the Orlando Area. It's definitely worth the drive out to Windermere. Nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city Very Tasty food prepared with Care. Many vegetarian options. Homey family style eating. The outdoor eating area is fantastic. read more

This place is a find! I was visiting Orlando and was looking for a hole in the wall with great food, so I turned to Yelp. This was the top recommendation, and I couldn't have been more pleased. If I opened up a place like this in my hometown, I seriously think I'd become rich. Amazing food and great atmosphere. read more

What a cool place! The food was great! I tried "The Rufus" and got it as recommended "frisky style" I have to say I've had lots of pulled pork in my day but this was fanastic. The combination of Fish's gold sauce, the raspberry melba, brie cheese, bacon, fried onion strings and potato sticks was amazing. I also got a side of the tomato cucumber and onion salad with crumbled feta cheese and vinaigrette dressing. Refreshing and flavorful! The atmosphere is so unique and relaxing. I recommend stitting on the patio outside. It feels like you've stepped out of the city and into a mini island style vacation spot. They have a pretty large beer selection as well. The band that was playing on the night we were there was really fun. We will definitely be back with friends! read more

If you are a healthy person, this is the place for you. I didnt want to eat anything like some vegetarian sandwich so I had to eat a pulled pork sandwich and I dont care for pulled pork. Although they have good BBQ sauce. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you, either inside or outside. In Gotha, which is a nice old money part of town. Very scenic cozy spot surrounded by nothing really. Its homes surrounded by homes. I only know of it because I live in the area. Very artistic and super awesome patio outside. We wrote on the fence and read a book after we ate. Just a very casual hip vibe to it. A great place to go on a beautiful day. They sell all kinds of unique stuff on the inside of the place, like sauces and random trinkets. Cons - Limited healthy food options (Im a burger chicken kinda girl). The parking is crappy - I wouldnt park in the back for fear of my car getting hit. I park across the street across from the church. read more

So cute and quaint! It's hidden in Gotha ( where is that, right?) but it is definitely worth finding! The chicken curry sandwich is amazing!

It's a wonder place, full of life and very funky. The food is always very good. We went to their beer tasting and had a great time! I always get the BBQ, White Trash or Florida Cracker but have sampled other items. Also check out their great salads. Tomatoes and Mozzarella and a few other summer salads, great stuff. read more

I've been to way too many BBQ joints to remember off hand. That being said, this place immediately solidified itself in my heart as an awesome place to eat when I first read the words "dunked in beer cheese soup". If you get the chance- eat here. It's one of the only original ideas found in the Orlando area that definitely commits to its originality! read more

Beef brisket is out of this world. Get it on the nachos! Can't wait to go back. This is a hidden gem that must be experienced.

When traveling, we always try to find one or two of these off-the-beaten-path eateries. I'm sure glad we got off the path and found Yellow Dog Eats! A little work to find and park, small place where tables (especially on a rainy day) are at a premium. So share with someone; that's what we did. Classic pulled pork sandwich was wonderful! Love the gold BBQ sauce; just the right mix of sweet and vinegar. Soft kaiser roll that stood up to the ample portion of pork (I think a sandwich fell out of my sandwich) and sauce without being too crunchy. Bacon potato salad was a winer as well. KT had the nachos, which look like a Man vs Food challenge. HUGE with all kinds of great flavors. Probably a tough place to take a bunch of kids, which is great for those of us who don't want to dine with a bunch of kids! Pricing, service, quality of food and exceptionally friendly staff will make this a stop whenever we're in the area. read more

This establishment has it all; atmosphere , excellent and personable service and quality/well prepared food. They follow a simple model... give the customer ultra high quality , generous portions at an approachable price. How can you fail????? I had the pulled pork salad which was created with thought. The pork was well smoked and all the additions complemented the meat. GREAT JOB!!! The Hokey Pokey Tacos were just as good. Excellent sauce to compliment these tacos. It was "chock full" of texture and depth of flavor. The only downside is that I am not in the Orlando area enough to frequent this place Keep it up!!!!!! read more
