Some fabulous BBQ my friends. As I was strolling around the Farmer's Market figuring out what would…read morecure my hangover, we walked by Kenny & Denny's and saw these HUGE items being made on their grill and when I found out it was a quesadilla filled with BBQ pork, I screamed YES! It gets a little sticky if there are a lot of people ordering here as they make everything fresh and have a small tent. I loved my quesadilla, it was cooked perfect and the BBQ sauce was sweet and delicious. Next time I will try the pulled pork sammie =)

Kenny and Denny are not only great people, but they make some great BBQ!…read more The aroma of pulled pork sammies on texas toast and BBQ quesadilla's takes over the Lake Eola Farmers Market basically inviting you to try this food, and you will not be disappointed. This is a routine stop on my weekly trip to Lake Eola. Everything is extremely fresh and made to order, so it all comes out nice and hot. These guys can also be found with a permanent stand inside The Plaza Theater, serving excellent BBQ to hungry concert goers. If you get the opportunity, I highly recommend you give Kenny and Denny's a try.

Love that Cholo Dogs is at Persimmon Hollow Brewing now! Definitely a step up on their food…read more options. I went with my family and we tried a little bit of everything. The weens were definitely the winner for me but my parents also really liked their Mex salad and Gordo bowl. We also got some other weens and one of the burgers (not pictured). The brewery is a nice venue too - lots of seating and chill vibes. The staff were also attentive and patient while we ordered for our big group.

Cholo Dogs inside Persimmon Hollow Brewery. I had tried their Mexican hot dog at the Yelp event and…read morecan't get it out of my head. I didn't realize they were close by and was thrilled when I saw it. I had the Franco Finisher sans Cheetos for less than $8. So good! The people are so nice there and it's very friendly and open to all! Casual seating of various styles. We opted for coach seating. They also have a brunch menu and heard the burgers are excellent too. We have been to Persimmon Hollow before so we grabbed a couple beers to wash it down. Delicious.

EWWWW! They don't change their gloves after touching many things in the kitchen, including the cash…read moreregister. Then they literally grab the meat from the catering dishes with those same gloves. They didn't use tongs. They used DIRTY GLOVES GRABBING HANDFULS OF MEAT and put it right on the buns for the sandwiches. I saw this as I sat outside and observed this terrible behavior through the window. Gloves are the enemy of the food industry if not used properly. Untrained workers using gloves have no sense of "my hands are dirty" since they're wearing gloves. They routinely touch the counter, door handles, utensils, etc. which are usually touched by many others. Hopefully the owners who put their hard earned dollars into opening a restaurant for the community take the time to train their staff properly. Until then, this restaurant is DISGUSTING!!!! I would skip this place for now.

I studied the menus at the new Avalon Park Marketplace and I was drawn to BBQ50's "Bat out of Hell"…read moresandwich. A BBQ brisket sandwich with pulled pork, beer cheese and a chopped up St. Louis rib is right up my alley. It was ok and for $16, I doubt I would go out of my way to go back. My issue is they are still acting like a mobile catering company. The brisket and pork were pre-cut and kept warm in chaffing dishes which definitely watered down the smoky taste. They did not have beer cheese either, but I did visit during their soft opening, and Bowigens did not have their liquor license yet. On the flipside, all of their sauces were fantastic and did elevate the taste, but not to the level of some of the area best BBQ joints. Again, soft opening so understandable, but delays were caused by how they implemented their ticketing system. I would say this is a good family spot for a quick meal if you are in the Avalon Park area, and their are several other vendors at the Marketplace. Self seating areas indoors and outside are kept very clean by staff. https://marketplaceatavalonpark.com/ Taste *** Quality/Freshness *** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service *** Atmosphere **** Bar Cleanliness **** Price $$$$

I'm not a pastrami person. I'm also not a "sit outside and eat hot meat while you sweat from your…read moreears" person. But man, I will do some unpleasant things to get another one of these pastrami sandwiches! My hubby dragged me here (slightly kicking) on the middle of the day in the middle of July when the air was thick, the sun was high, and tolerance was flirting with fire. The wait for the sandwiches and egg rolls, while we were the only ones in line, was a bit longer than expected. He's absolutely a one man show but what he makes, he makes VERY well. My desire for hot meat was about as limited as one can imagine, but when that sandwich came out, I happily relished in the thick cut rye bread, the tangy mustard, and the juicy pastrami dripping down my arm. What's more, the pastrami is fantastic but that coleslaw is the stuff of my dreams. I don't live close to downtown and I'm never there on weekdays, but I really hope to make that venture the next opportunity I get. Highly recommend.

I'm here because of the Diners Drive inns and Dives connection. The food was excellent! I got…read morebrisket tacos and Ruben tacos so I could try both meats. Both were delicious but I preferred the brisket. The donkey sauce in the brisket tacos was a perfect combination. The guy in the truck was fun to interact with and he certainly is dedicated. There is 1 table and we were happy to have a place to eat but this is no ambiance. It may be best to plan your visit and have a comfortable place to eat. Overall I was happy to visit and I highly recommend you give this food truck a try.

I am not a hot dog girl at all, but I've seen Cholo dogs at multiple food events so I decided to…read moregive them a try once and for all! Plus their stand is always eye catching! I had the cholo dog and it was delicious. Can officially say this is my one and only favorite hot dog! What caught my attention was the bbq sauce, chipotle mayo, and tajin; a girls dream! The jalapeños added a great touch; not too spicy, but a small kick. Love that the sauces helped make the hot dog feel that it wasn't dry and overall just mixed together for a great flavor. Wait time at the lake eola Christmas market wasn't crazy, a good 10 minutes? I'll can definitely say I'd order 2 next time!

The thing about a Chinese restaurant is if the taste is consistent as to when you first ate there…read morebefore - your customers will keep coming back. Ordered Jumbo Shrimp Pan Fried Noodle here $16.95 takeout. While waiting for the food. I was asking the gal behind the cash register if they have been busy lately with the Chinese BBQ and she stated this past weekend they were really busy. I then told her it's because Kai Kai owners left Kai Kai and sold it maybe to another owner but they no longer run Kai Kai. So as the conversation passes she told me - The Crispy pork they cook there is NOT ROASTED but FRIED. It was brought up because i was telling her a few people have said kai kai fell off as far as taste in the bbq / meats. So then I said yes the skin part is not crispy like how you guys do it. So she mentioned she wondered why they have been busy with Chinese BBQ meats as of lately. I ordered the $4.95 boba smoothie (mango) as a refresher because it is hot outside - For the price it is not bad I think they use mango puree as the base. The dishes here are delicious. This is why I keep coming back.

Red Roast pork soup is quite the comfort food. I've enjoyed this soup for many years. Tasty Wok…read moreis an institution! I order this soup with shrimp dumplings. Each time I order it, they tell me that shrimp dumplings are extra. They are very much worth it, by the way! The noodles in this soup are egg noodles. The tender bite draws you back. The chinese spinach is nourishing and offers iron to give you strength. The crispy pork is amazing. But it is really crunchy. At this restaurant they sell it by the pound, right along side the hanging duck which is by the pound as well. They sell so many dishes that are well-loved, but I tend to get the soup. It's so nourishing and flavorful. Top tip for parking...you can park in the back, but there are many restaurants on the same aisle so you sometimes have to wait for people to leave.

I hired Pearson's Catering for my wedding on 11/18/22. I worked with Linda on creating a menu…read more There were tons of options and we chose a bbq menu. They were great with creating a menu with options as myself and my guests have different food allergies. I wish I had gotten a chance to take photos of the food, but nothing would do as much justice as tasting it for yourself. The garlic chicken was so Juicy and the pulled pork so tender. We kept going back for more. The price points were great for our budget and they were such a great company to work with. Communication was on point and they were very timely. I would recommend this place for all your catering needs!
