    Puppy on patio
    David D.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Curry Chicken wrap
    Aleksandar M.

    I've been going to Yellow Dog forever. It's such a hidden gem. Close to my house, it's one of my favorites. It's grown so much and it's SO cozy. The music and decor just feels like home. Who doesn't love Elvis the pup. You order at the front and everyone is always friendly. You pick up after your buzzer goes off. Quick and casual. I got the chicken salad wrap and wish they had a healthier side. I don't love the potato chips. I'm used to alternatives offered but it's on me for not inquiring. It was delicious and one of my favorites. Find this hidden gem and Dig In!

    They also do mimosas!

    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.

We ordered the UFO sandwich, the veggie sandwich, and finished with a cannoli--and every single item delivered. The sandwiches were phenomenal. The bread is made to order and it shows: thin, chewy, and perfectly structured for a real sandwich (not soggy, not overbearing). Unique round discs that suited the food perfectly. The UFO sandwich was deeply satisfying - delicious meats, and I added green olive crema and swapped out provolone for stracciatella. The veggie sandwich wasn't an afterthought at all--fresh, flavorful, and genuinely filling. Every ingredient tasted delicious and fresh. The cannoli was spot-on: perfect flavor, just the right level of sweetness, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Not overly sugary, not heavy--just right. The location is also a big plus. It's in a newly built shopping center with really nice pond-side seating, which would be a great place to sit, relax, and actually enjoy the meal. On top of all that, the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the prices are very fair for the quality you're getting. This is the kind of place you root for. If you love real sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and food made with pride, don't miss it. We'll absolutely be back.

I discovered this one-of-a-kind fast casual restaurant through Yelp on a recent visit to the Historic Winter Garden area. Because of the healthier food options and great reviews, my wife and I decided to give it a try since it was just a short distance away from the historic downtown. One other plus we discovered early (because of the sign just inside the doorway): No seed oils are used in their salad dressings, only 100% extra virgin olive oil. My wife chose "Build a Bowl" and added chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, roasted broccoli, and (the very tasty) herb & parmesan mushrooms. I ordered "Build Your Own Salad", and chose the local Italian sausage as my protein, with some crisp greens and sautéed onions, and fresh lemon garlic vinaigrette on the side. We thoroughly enjoyed the flavors and healthy options. We definitely would like to return. This restaurant currently is the first and only one. MISC. The concept was created by the former Miller Ale House President/COO and his family to provide a healthier option for fast casual food. He and some of his family happened to be sitting at some tables when we arrived. Also, although we didn't order these: Sandwiches and Burgers, including Impossible, are available; Soups are made from scratch; Kids Menu; Organic non-alcoholic beverages; Coke/Sprite; and Beer & Wine.

The cheese was melted throughout instead of just sitting on top, so every bite had that same balanced flavor. Even with all the toppings, nothing felt overwhelming, and the bread held everything together without falling apart.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.

I decided on the Turkey Burglar minus the onions, an order of fresh cut fries and a bottle of water. While I waited, he and I chatted for a bit and it was easy to see he had a real interest in, if not cooking, good food experiences. I was actually kinda bummed when my order was finished because of the great conversation. I hopped in the car and the first thing I tried were the fries. I LOVE French fries. These were fresh cut, fluffy in the middle, fries! Not that dense potato texture you get when they're not properly double cooked. This was definitely a sign of good things to come.

My burger came piled high with a freshly grilled beef patty topped with two slices of bacon, caramelized onions, tomato, lettuce, a couple of onion rings, horseradish sauce and melted gouda cheese on a brioche bun. I'm not always a fan of brioche buns for a burger as they tend to fall apart, but his held up well to all the overflowing toppings. The onion rings were super-crispy and I also got to try their fries which were a tad undercooked, but tasty overall. Make sure to ask for the "That One" sauce for dipping your sides in...kinda like the bloomin' onion sauce you'd get at Outback. Delish! We had a solid meal here, would definitely return if in the area again.
