    Homemade chocolate cake
    Craig L.

    What a wonderful find! A little place I Ocoee serving up home style food and neighborly service. While I was there on Sunday afternoon, a little girl wandered in and looked longingly at the sodas in the case. The owner gave her a Cone and told her to just drop some change in the tip jar. Then, since it was near closing time, she offers her a couple slices of cake for her and her brother. It was, as I mentioned, near closing time, so many of the items on the menu were gone. I got some ribs, greens and a "hunk" of that delicious chocolate cake (made by the owners son). Delicious!! All of it! They serve lunch during the week. I will be back for sure!

    Wow! I've been to every BBQ place in Orlando (most of them more times than I care to admit!) and this one blows them away. What amazing ribs! Obviously slowly smoked to perfection over hours, with a slight crust, but incredibly succulent center, with oodles of meat. The half-rack portion is very generous and well-priced. The BBQ sauce, served on the side, is a perfect balance of sweet, tangy and spicy. Pulled pork is also tender and tasty. The baked beans have a rich sauce and tender chunks of meat, and just a hint of spice. Usually I add BBQ sauces to baked beans, but these didn't need it. It's counter service, and friendly service at that. There's just one table inside, and one on the lawn out front, but there's also parking in the rear. This is a cozy little downtown area of Ocoee, so a pleasant place to eat outside.

    I love supporting hole in wall restaurants. Came for lunch here and ordered ribs, mac n cheese. I didn't feel too welcomed in this restaurant. For a small business that wasn't busy I would think the person working(guessing owner) would be more welcoming especially when I state to give me a second to see the menu since I never been here before. Once i noticed the woman was plating my food(to go) I asked where the bathroom was so I can wash my hands to enjoy these ribs in the workvan. When I exit the bathroom, my food was left in a bag on top of a small side high table. No thank you, thanks for coming, see you soon etc. As I opened the container I noticed the ribs were burnt. Had a really strong burnt taste and since it was overcooked it was tough almost like jerky. The mac n cheese was decent. I wasnt too impressed and will not return

    1/2 rack out of the to go pack. Lots of fall off the bone goodness!!! Gracious!!

    Girl?!!! Nessas has some really righteous ribs! Fall of the bones doesn't cover it. Let's say I'm surprised my serving even held onto the bone well enough to get from the grill to my to-go container. The ribs have some crusty blackened season rub outer skin that is sheer delight to slooooow the hell down and enjoy the mastication's needed to extract all that Nessa BBQ goodness out of it. That 1/2 rack (in my picture) should satisfy most "Fl. pie holes" and if it oddly does not, toss in some of her delicious collards! Oh my, an ever so slight touch of heat and wonderfully faint smoky flavor notes also. Texture was a spot on "chew" for collards! Not overdone like most sides you will find. (I'm really looking forward to an early LUNCH tomorrow! ) The fried okra was still hot and mostly still crunchy after the 9 minute ride back to the casa. Also delicious. Man, this is down home BBQ! She must have one happy / lucky family at home every cook out. Now we get to join in on the accolades to her skills!

    We are fans of the ribs!!!

    This was GOOD home cookin that makes your heart and soul happy!!! We had 3 different dinners and got the chance to try a lil of everything.....we weren't disappointed at all!! We will be back and I hope you stop by to. #Isupportlocalbusinesses

Great local spot that I'll definitely come back to.

    My husband and I finally made it to Yellow Dog Eats after having it on our list for months, and it…read moreabsolutely lived up to the hype. The Vibe: We came on a Saturday and the parking lot was packed, which we took as a great sign--and it was. You walk through a fun outdoor patio before heading inside to order, and the space is incredibly unique--colorful, eclectic, slightly hipster, with dog photos and quirky decor everywhere. The line to order was pretty long, but we noticed a few open seats at the bar. We asked the bartender if we could order there, and she said yes--pro move. Skip the line, grab a bar seat. Drinks: We tried the house lager, which was solid and refreshing. What We Ordered: * Homemade Queso + Flavor Bomb 3 * "Famous" Pulled Pork Sandwich * "What the Fig?" Sandwich Standout Bite: The queso with Flavor Bomb 3 was incredible. Sweet, savory, and completely addictive. The pineapple in the flavor bomb added the perfect touch of sweetness and made the dish really stand out. Sandwiches: Both sandwiches were excellent. The pork was fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. The classic pulled pork was great, but if you like bold flavors, the "What the Fig?" is the way to go--the fig jam added the perfect sweet-savory balance. Flavor-packed and messy in the best way. Sides: Sandwiches come with your choice of Miss Vickie's chips, house-made slaw, or both for $1 extra. The house-made slaw was a standout for me--fresh, crisp, and the perfect complement to the sandwiches. Overall: Great food, fun atmosphere, and a unique experience from start to finish. We're already planning our next visit--and next time we're bringing our pup since they're dog-friendly and fully embrace it. Pro tip: Head straight to the bar if there's a long line--and don't skip the queso with a flavor bomb.

They really make great homemade drinks here. The coleslaw was fantastic, and the green beans were cooked perfectly with great flavor. I had sliced brisket and pulled pork with both the house sauce and tangy sauce. Everything was delicious! The more we ate, the more we wanted to come back and try the rest of the menu.

The red velvet cord near the entrance was a nice touch - made us feel like royalty walking in. There was a nice-looking outdoor seating area, but it was 98 degrees out and not shaded, so even my lizard-as* couldn't do it. There was a separate seating area inside though. You order at the counter. Everyone we encountered was super friendly. We got help with the menu and some suggestions on options. I opted for the rib dog and side of mac and cheese. I also got a sweet tea. My husband got the brisket with fries and a (canned) Diet Coke. The rib dog was pretty impossible to pick up and eat, but was very tasty. The mac and cheese maybe top 3 I have ever had. The brisket my husband ordered was quite tasty, pretty smokey (not my fave, but he loved it). Meat was moist and tender. It was about $42 total before a tip for the two of us and we both had leftovers for another meal. This place is a little out of our way, but we would definitely stop in again if we were in the area. If I was really craving good mac and cheese might even make a special trip (being honest - I love bbq places for the sides. Its shameful but true.)
