This is not like the BBQ chains out there that leave their stuff sitting around in metal bins all day waiting for you to order it -- this is the real deal. I've been going to Kellers from day one when I moved to Lake Mary and its a regular staple of the restaurant routine. When you order lunch or dinner platters, you get three (yes, three) sides. The girls there are friendly and personable.. and if you go there enough (guilty), they remember your orders. Can't go wrong. My only gripe -- rising prices. Everyones doing it, though.. and you still leave there feeling like you're going to explode. read more

The good: Corn nuggets with honey! Kid friendly. The bad: Mediocre BBQ. Garlic bread is always hard. Small dining room and it's always packed. read more

First time here and enjoyed it. I had the pork and brisket platter with mac and cheese, baked beans and fries. Overall very good and the sweet sauce was great. The meat is sliced thin whee I prefer thicker next time I will ask for it thick to see if they will cut it like that. Very pleased with the service and quality of food. I will be back. read more

We always have excellent service and the good is hot and delicious! A great selection of sides and the sliced pork and pulled chicken are a favorite in our house! We recently used them to cater our daughters wedding, they did an amazing job and everyone loved the food! read more

GF can work around the menu. If you need internet for a working lunch this is NOT the place...they have wifi but do not give the password. The signature sauce is not bad on the sweet side. Brisket a bit dry but not bad. read more

Keller’s BBQ - Cool setting - Barbeque Near Me - Lake Mary, Florida

See all

This place is fantastic! Great food. Fast, super friendly service. What more can you ask for? Waitresses were very attentive. You get a lot of food for your money. It's in a strip center, so it's not a huge place. But the atmosphere is great. We will make this a regular stop. Kudos to the staff and management. Keep up the great work! read more

We love this place, my family use to own 2 locations of Fat Boys BBQ, and this being the foundation of the franchise, it's a very welcome comfort. Always good in all areas. read more

Never posted a review here before but I feel this place really deserves it, we went here looking for a good BBQ restaurant and was not disappointed, the food was very flavorful and tender, I had the BBQ chicken sandwich and Mac and cheese, which had a slightly smokey taste that I really enjoyed read more

This review is a long time coming. I first visited this place 12 years ago when we first moved to the area. I was not impressed at all back then. So the years have passed and I've stopped in from time to time and it's inched upward. I ate lunch here today with the fam and a few months ago by myself. I've been to a number of the national bbq shrines and worked in the business for quite a long time so I'm coming from a place of experience. I also try to consider what they're trying to do. As an independent restaurant they are ok with some home runs and some complete misses. The pulled pork sandwich I had months ago was very, very good! It was smoky with the right mix of fat and lean. It had the correct smoke ring and a good balance of smoke flavor. Today we mixed it up a bit. The brisket had the smoke ring but had a roast beef texture. Good brisket is barely held together after it comes out of the pit. This wasn't tough but it's mouth feel wouldn't get it out of the first round of any bbq contest. The flavor wasn't bad either. I wonder if they're doing the first 12 hours in the pit and then finishing it in the oven to make room for the ribs and pork? Brisket should also be sliced right before serving and this was pre-sliced. The baked beans were not bad. Not too sweet and a little over cooked but I'm ok with that. The slaw was ordinary but not a surprise in Orlando. The mac-n-cheese is pretty good! Noodles are a tad overcooked but the cheese had a very good texture and flavor. Near the top of the mac to be had at our bbq joints. The biggest surprise was my daughters fried catfish. It was perfect! Cooked perfect and seasoned correctly. Too many places phone it in on dish that isn't their focus but this was the best of all the items we had today. The sauces are like every other bbq sauce I've had in the greater Orlando area which is to say forgettable. For what it's worth some of the best bbq I've had was in places who's sauce was average. It would be nice for at least one local pit master also have a distinct and desirable sauce. The interior is cramped and I despised the annoying pop playing slightly too loud. The service was attentive, friendly and prompt both of my last two visits. Kudos on that. They advertise they use blackjack oak but given it doesn't really grow south of the panhandle I'll take that with a grain of salt. Wood choice is a much debated issue and I find it likely they're augmenting whatever wood source with some but not all blackjack. Better than Sonny's but still chasing 4 Rivers when those folks decide to pay attention. read more

This place is my all time favorite bbq. My family and I used to go here a lot, but now we do not sadly. I still go here periodically and the food is just as good. Also, they have amazing waiters and the food is just amazing. 10/10 recommend. read more

Best bar-b-que place in town. Yes, better than 4 Rivers! The sliced beef and pork are awesome! If you're a big eater, they have all you can eat! They also have $1 domestics! How can you beat that? You must order food to enjoy that special! read more

This place is definitely delicious. The service was quick and friendly. The people there were very nice and you get alot of food. The sampler platter hit the whole food pyramid. read more

Keller's is a solid BBQ place. I love the pulled pork and the sloppy pork sandwiches. The sloppy is chunks of pork cooked in the original sauce. My favorite is the pulled pork with the Sweet sauce and a side of cole slaw. I normally get it to go so I don't have any service issues. read more

Never disappointed at this Lake Mary location ever! Great BBQ and fantastic customer service! The ribs are outstanding!!!

Visiting Orlando on business. I usually try to eat at the non franchise/chain restaurants. This BBQ was right by my hotel and definitely not disappointed. Atmosphere was unique...not at all fancy but not a dive either. Great food and wonderful service. read more

We eat here all the time. It's my son and husband's favorite restaurant. We came here for my son's birthday. In fact, we've come so often with friends they know our order and don't even bother asking us if we want menus. Lol. We came here today, because the Chili's next to it didn't seem to want to serve us and after waiting 15 minutes, we came here. Our server took our orders, even reminding my husband that he usually gets the brisket. :). And within 5 minutes we had our food, which was delicious as ever. I'm so glad we came here instead. I'm pretty sure we'd have still been waiting for food at Chili's by the time we finished our food here. :). read more

I had the lunch serving for Dinner and it was more than plenty for me, and saved us $5.00 per person! The pork ribs were huge with Los of meat on it. You get 3 sides plus 2 huge garlic bread. The salad was crispy, the French fries plentiful and the homemade green beans very tasty. I couldn't even finish everything on my plate and I was hungry. $22.00 for two, delicious and filing. Service was slow but worth the wait! Always packed. read more

What a shame, what it could have been the best tasting bbq easily ruined by the basics. Coleslaw needs to be cold not room temperature. Fries please, very basic don't burned them. If the are brown you burned them don't serve them. If the food took a long time to get the table, make sure smoke is coming out if it or it will look like you didn't care to get the food when it came out. Next table arrive after we did and the food didn't take 5 minutes to be served to them. Iced tea means iced tea, put more ice specially if you just brew it. Our food took more than 15 minutes, and the place was nearly empty, the only thing that came hot was the bread, are you kidding me. Please don't tell me you hold the order in the kitchen for bread, you can always bring that later to the table, come on. Returning? No thanks. read more

Kellers is my second favorite BBQ place. the ribs are not tender very chewy and the sides are canned (green beans, possibly baked beans) but they have solid food and I have never had a bad meal here. For me its three notches above sonny's which to me is not real BBQ. The servers are all very nice and like I said its just a solid place where I know I won't get a bad meal. There pulled pork is good and their chicken Cesar salad is literally the best I have ever had oddly enough. For the best BBQ EVER go to 4R Smokehouse on west fairbank avenue winter park. read more

I am a BBQ lover and have been coming back to Keller's for over 20 years. Some of the best in Central Florida. Sliced pork is always tender. Friendly staff. Great prices. Kid and pet friendly. read more

Disappointed with the pulled pork. I stopped in here 3 different times over the past 10 years. Every time I'm disappointed with the flavor. It smells good from the parking lot but the pulled pork lacks smoked flavor. Its like someone rinses the meat from all it flavor then squeezes all the moisture out of it. read more

I have to start by saying Customer service is 5 star. Our waitress was awesome and accommodating to all of our questions. With that being said the food could use some work. I've been to A lot of bbq joints & I've cooked a lot of my own at home. The pork was tender but pretty flavorless. The BBQ sauce(all of them) tasted/felt like dried spices. The Mac&Cheese I've definitely had before at my work in the cafeteria(frozen pans from Sysco). The hush puppies however were pretty damn tasty. Value was great for the amount of food but they'd have to up their game before I went back. read more

I found Keller's when I was down training @ Gander Mountain Academy a couple of years ago. I am from Daytona area and I come down to Keller's at least once a month or every 6 weeks. Keller's is, in my opinion, absolutely the best BBQ money can buy. The restaurant is clean, the food portions are amazing and the prices MORE than fair. I don't need a menu as for the past 2 years I have ordered the same thing......combo chicken/ribs with slaw, fries and greens. The garlic bread is better than any I have had. All the waitresses are fast, attentive and very friendly. My favorite is a young lady my wife and I met named Jennifer. She is the best. This bbq is absolutely worth the 85 mile round trip !! Capt. Ed read more

Hot fresh food with good prices. Usually sit outside due to the inside seeming to be pretty dingy. Service is always top notch. Just wish they would clean their sauce bottles, they always come out sticky - ew! Will continue to visit regularly! read more

Awesome little place. Foods pretty good. Staff is friendly. We have gone a few times for a quick meal near home.

Typical bbq place. I have eaten at a lot of bbq places and this one is good but doesn't stand out. Limited seating so if u r going for lunch plan to get there before noon. The Texas garlic bread is really good. Staff is moslty friendly. read more

To die for BBQ and stellar service be sure to request the MASSIVE "sampler platter", perfect for a large appetite or a group of smaller ones. If I lived down here year round, I'd come every week! Stellar BBQ!!!! read more

I go here for lunch pretty often. The brisket sandwich is awesome. I haven't had a bad meal here, would recommend it for s good bbq option

I get the same thing every time, the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich (tossed in sweet sauce) on garlic bread and pay extra for that boiled corn, it's the best!!! My service is always the best!! Love Shanna, Victoria, Cami, Jen, & Michelle! My boyfriend and I come in several times a week and have never had a bad time with the staff. If we ever had a food related problem, they are always happy to make it right. Come here for the best house made BBQ and the best service in town!! They do Uber Eats too!! read more

Keller's BBQ was a good experience. Ribs had nice grill marks on them and bbq sauce was good. Fries and bbq beans were very tasty. All in all I will be back. read more

Its OK BBQ, nothing to write home about. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there, but it was close to the hotel I was staying at and I was in the mood for BBQ. read more

The best smoked BBQ chicken I've ever had. I crave it once a week. The prices are low, the food quality is great, portions are huge. The service is always friendly and attentive. Ownership and management cares about their product and it shows. read more

Ive been here about 15 times now. Every time I come its the same thing, 3 meat combo with ribs and sliced pork, double mac and cheese and coleslaw. It is amazing every time. the food comes out quick because its bbq so its been cooking all day. The service is great too! read more

Best food in lake Mary. Great service with a real hometown feel. The ribs and pulled pork are juicy as it gets

I was just in town for business and found this restaurant through yelp. Excellent food. Generous portions. Waitress Marissa was really nice. I recommend the three meat combo. read more

Something seems different about Kellers. I wonder if there has been an ownership change? Service off a tad, food good, but not what it once was. read more

Travel from Merritt Island to Kellers for THE best BBQ! Love the sauce. Buy extra jars of sauce to take home for the times we can't make the trip. The sliced pork is mouth watering. The only thing that would improve Kellers would be some home made onion rings... read more

I've dined in and the food is decent . My issues stem with the catering/dine-out service. I called in and left 2 messages for Todd Keller at the number noted on their website, and followed-up with an email on a catering request for 10 people. Per their website "....no event is too small or large". NO RESPONSE to multiple attempts. Called in to their regular line seeking assistance, and a somewhat harried person directed me to the same phone number for Todd and hung-up before I could ask further questions. Not a good way to do business. If you don't want to cater, have the courtesy to call and say so. We ended up getting pizza and wings from local establishment. read more

Best bbq in Seminole county with great sides. Very relaxed with great service, ask for adorable Cammy. This place has awesome burgers also envisions will go back for sure read more

Place is mismanaged. 3 stars with potential for more. Main problem is that their bbq dinner plates are all $15 and up. It is not necessarily overpriced because you get a lot of food but they are pricing out normal people. They should have $10.99 plates with two meats and two sides instead of the three and three they offer with big eaters having the option to add a meat and side for $3 or going AYCE. The way they have it structured two average eaters with tips and drink are paying over $40 out the door for BBQ. The result is a lot of empty tables from customers that their system doesn't appeal to. The other main issue is the up and down food. The ribs and sliced beef were both very good and their BBQ sauce is decent. The fries were fresh crinkle cut and not greasy; yet, the collared greens were flavorless and the beans were a total avoid. The pulled pork that they served me should not have been served. It was clearly under the heat lamp for hours. It was beyond dry and it appeared that way. A well run place never would have allowed the pulled pork I was served to be presented to a customer. I wound up eating one bite of it and threw the rest out. That meant with the flavorless greens and beans and bad pork I probably threw out 35% of my meal. If you are going to charge high prices you better back it up with quality and consistency. read more
