    A group of us went here for Brunch on Sunday! It's a small establishment, diner like vibes, we had reservations so was seated right away. The place was quite busy, there's also a bar/counter where you can sit and eat. We ordered so many items I'll stick to the ones that was most memorable. Smoked Chorizo Biscuits & Gravy - The chef recommended this so that's what I ordered, it was so delicious! The biscuit and gravy were the perfect pairing then you got a kick from the Chorizo...yes! Pancakes with Brisket - The pancakes were really light and fluffy and creamy, but the Brisket....omg I wanted to just keep eating that, great dish! The donut French toast was an another hit!! We met the owner, his Mom, the Chef and probably most of the patrons in there lol Such a great time and the food was perfect!!

    Smoke and Donuts has been added to our list of favorite BBQ spots! This place is a fun vibe with records playing or a DJ and chill decor. The staff was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. They even brought out complimentary donuts for some extra sugar on top! We got the brisket smashburger and pulled pork plate with Mac n cheese and fries. The meat was fresh, tender, and flavorful. The fries were hand cut and delicious. The Mac n cheese could have more flavor but it was creamy and soft. We took home the donuts and they were still good warmed up the next day! We will definitely be back to try the some other things!

    In the neighborhood and like their sign says, she wanted donuts, he wanted barbecue. They gave both at Smoke & Donuts ;) We popped in around 1:45 and thought they might be closing until dinner. Nope--they were simply performing the delicate midafternoon dance of switching from brunch to lunch. They seated us right away, with the owner's charming mother helping everyone find a table. Fair warning: this place is packed and loud, with '70s and '80s music playing just a little louder than necessary. My husband and I have been together for more than 35 years, so we don't need to fill every quiet moment with conversation. While we waited, we happily researched our next trip and studied train schedules on our phones like the exciting couple we have become. We ordered the French toast, which costs the same as the pancakes with blueberries and pecans. Pancakes arrived. They were delicious, the restaurant was slammed, and we decided not to send them back. Our problem, not theirs--and once enough sugar enters the bloodstream, the brain conveniently forgets what it originally ordered. At 2:00, the menu switched to lunch, so we ordered the barbecue jackfruit with Brussels sprouts. The computer system was down, which meant the order had to be handwritten and walked back to the kitchen. It took about 40 minutes, but we knew they were struggling with the system, and the food was truly delicious and worth waiting for. Then the plot thickened. Without us ever mentioning the pancake mix-up, they brought us the French toast on the house. The head chef came out to check on us and apologized for the computer trouble. Then came a complimentary vanilla-glazed doughnut with mini chocolate chips. At the end of the meal, cinnamon-sugar doughnuts appeared, also complimentary. By then, I was so full I was considering whether breathing counted as overeating, so some of the doughnuts came home with us. We also ordered iced tea that never arrived. We didn't realize it until the bill came, but after the surprise French toast and parade of free doughnuts, we certainly weren't going to hold it against them. Honestly, by that point, I felt like I owed them money. Yes, there were a few mistakes. Yes, the music could come down a notch. But the food is calorie-laden, delicious, and apparently capable of erasing minor grievances from the human brain. I swear, if I weren't so stuffed that I may not eat again for several days, I would go back tomorrow.

    Omg! This is the best BBQ in town. It's not like any other BBQ place. All the other ones I've been to taste the same. This here is fresh and made everyday. This is not a chain restaurant. The walk inside transports you to a vintage world that is now lost in the past. Very cool and nostalgic feeling. Staff are super nice and work together as a team to get the orders out to the customers. A little bit of a wait but it is worth it, trust me! Satisfaction filled me with a blissful warm belly. They serve you enough that you can finish but you will leave content not stuffed to the point where you just can't move or breath. Can't wait to return for a second round of tender juicy meats with amazing sides to accompany the main dishes.

    One of the best donuts I've ever had in a really long time they are the freshest donuts they make them as soon as you order them so they're fresh to order. I got the lavender coconut doughnut was super good and they are cake donut basis, which is one of my favorite types of doughnut. They also have a bar side. I will be going back to try some other cocktails as well as their food menu the food looked delicious but me and my family had just had dinner and we were just going out for a sweet treat came across this place really really cool vibes. They played vinyl music service was great. Everything was really good in there. I will be going back.

    Best donuts & music in town! I recently loved attending their Common Ground event. They always have a good mix of things going on including a diversity of art vendors, local produce, etc. The musical selection here is supreme. I especially liked listening to sets by Neil T, No Por Na, and Myles. There is a certain level of authenticity present here that you don't get at other venues. Chef Ian, the owner, is very personable and involved in his creation which I think adds to the overall atmosphere and vibe. This whole project begun as a food truck and has developed into this very aesthetically pleasing, inclusive, and unique environment. The vibe inside is very nice. It reminds me of something both classic and futuristic at the same time. I love that they stream anime while people dine. It makes the experience feel cozy and welcoming. I can't wait to be back a million times

    I came on a Friday night with friends for the Vinyl on hifi. We had made a reservation but there didn't end up being a host/hostess and seating ourselves. The DJ was still setting up when we arrived at 8 and as the night went on the lights continued to lower and the music continues to get louder. It was a bit chaotic and took a long time to order a drink or anything to start. Once we did flag down a server though, everything came out fairly quick. We split a bunch of items and we loved everything we had. The ribs were the favorite of the group though the wings also had plenty of sauce and flavor. The donut was truly standout and was crispy on the outside but divinely moist on the inside. My cocktail was also super flavorful and they had a nice pour on the wines. We will definitely be back!

    It's like stopping by your cool aunts place in the city for a bite to eat. The interior gives modern industrial vibes and the owner seats you herself. We sat right next to the kitchen and could see all the yummy food coming out to the tables. I ordered the Prime Brisket Smashburger and it totally hit the spot! Especially with those golden fried potato bits on the side. On the way out we had to stop by the donut bar. The donuts are made fresh and loaded with toppings. I got the Sm'Oreo and he got the Bacon Blast. Both were incredible!

    Don't you love it when a restaurant exceeds your expectations? Granted, I went in not expecting much to be honest. I feel like the vast majority of BBQ places here in Orlando are all kind of the same. There use to be one place in particular I really enjoyed when it first started and as it expanded with multiple locations popping up everywhere, it lost its soul irreversibly in the process. S&D was not our first choice initially. We had just had drinks at Sideward brewing and were looking for some grub. We looked up on Yelp, and this was only like 3 minutes away. When we walked in, I felt like we were in a replica of Stardust coffee shop. It's got so much vintage stuff everywhere. It had a laid-back hippie vibe that immediately made me feel right at home. They had a DJ playing old school music; I loved it immediately. I appreciated the simplicity of the menu, and so it was easy to make up my mind. I went with the smoked turkey breast plate. When done right, smoked turkey breast is delicious so that was the test for me. I chose fries and baked beans as my side. My friend chose the pulled pork, mac n cheese, and baked beans with the addition of the corn bread. My other friend had the 3 meats plate. he chose brisket, chicken, and pork belly. I loved everything on my plate. The difference from other BBQ places being that this was homemade, you can taste the difference from other places that are just heating pre-packaged stuff up. Having said that, you're also going to wait, especially on Friday night when they were pretty busy. We sat at a table where we could see people cooking. I loved watching the girl add the cheese to mac n cheese and flip the noodles around, watching them ooze with cheese. That was such an awesome sight to behold. The turkey was moist, smokey and absolutely delicious, I would've loved another slice of it. Having said that, if you go in hungry, you will probably have to order something else in addition to your meal, depending on what you get, the portions can be small compared to other places. (see pic) I tried some of my friends cornbread, it was so good! Also with that homemade taste and more akin to a cupcake without frosting rather than cornbread, but still really delicious. During our visit we got to try some complimentary chicharrones, probably because of the wait time we had for things. Afterwards we were also treated to some mini donuts and those were spectacular!! simple cinnamon and sugar but oh so good! I honestly can't wait to go back for another visit.

    I attended the restaurant for a private event, and I absolutely love the ambience and food that was served. According to their Instagram, Friday nights, they have a special curated menu with vinyl DJs. this is a great place to have date night or to bring any guest visiting. Orlando definitely a hidden gem. The food is really good and the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable in their menu.

    The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was amazing they had a DJ spinning records. The service was amazing, I'm definitely gonna go back to try something different from the menu.

    Pit Sampler - jackfruit, brisket, chicken, brussel sprouts
    Kimberly K.

    Pretty tasty BBQ and friendly service. The place smelt like oil instead of BBQ inside but good thing we took it to go. Liked the bar top counter, that was a good idea for their setup. Got the Pit Sampler - 3 ounces each of jackfruit, chicken and brisket with brussel sprouts and cornbread. Seemed like a pretty good deal to try out various items for being here for the 1st time. All was very good and the lean brisket was my fav. Corn bread and brussels were great and would come back for more

    Donuts!
    Edwin M.

    As you park and enter what looks like an old diner you are greeted and sat. Now we were lucky and the owner was there to greet and seat us with friendly vibes. This place was busy but we didn't have to wait for a seat, but if you do have to wait let me spoil it now, wait cause it will be worth it! The brisket and egg on the donut I had was perfectly sweet and savory, with the proportion being the perfect amount for about $8. They do have some adult beverages as well, but none were had at this time. Then when you are done you can go to the donut counter to order some specialty donuts to eat. I had one covered in maple glaze with a strip of bacon, which was great the next day for breakfast. Definitely go and check them out!

Rib Nuggets with the house Sweet BBQ Sauce, a side of mac & cheese, cornbread, and a Coke. Let me start with that sauce... it's the bomb. Seriously, I could drink it through a straw. It's so good that I found myself dipping every single bite into it. The rib nuggets were tender and flavorful. Every bite somehow tasted even better than the last. The cornbread was incredibly moist and delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The mac & cheese was good, but I'll admit I'm a little biased. My old lady makes an incredible macaroni pie, and since I don't get it nearly as often as I'd like, she's set the bar pretty high for my belly. That's a tough standard for any restaurant to beat. Two complaints... First, the "moist" towelette they gave me after I demolished my food was anything but moist. That thing was drier than an 80-year-old woman's taco in the middle of the coldest night in Alaska. I think it actually absorbed moisture from my hands. Second, after a meal that good, I have one question for corporate America: What exactly do you expect me to accomplish this afternoon? Between the rib nuggets, mac & cheese, cornbread, and that Sweet BBQ sauce, I was one recliner away from a full-blown food coma. Pro tip: Order extra Sweet BBQ sauce... trust me. You might be tempted to drink it through a straw too.

So we ended up with a portion of the pork rib, the pulled pork and the pork belly. The pork ribs was really good, although my husband didn't like the glaze that they had on the rib but the meat was delicious. The pulled pork was very good not fatty, which is fantastic. The pork belly is cut into giant chunks. It is very tasty. It does have a decent amount of fat on it. This location also has a variety of sides to choose from. We opted for the collard greens and the mac & cheese. The collard greens were good. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. As some of the pieces were a bit crunchy. The mac & cheese was good although the cheese sauce felt a little gooey and we attributed to that they may use a rue to make their sauce. Overall - we enjoyed the food and would check them out again.

There were 3 or 4 types of beans in it and it was incredibly hard to not gobble them all down instead of saving some for my hubby to try at home. My friend had the cornbread casserole which she said is her favorite side after the beans (I'm GF so I couldn't have that but I wanted to!). Another friend had the Bbq brisket sandwich with potato salad and she said the potato salad was really tasty. Just so you know - this is a very small restaurant. No inside seating, just picnic tables outside. (Some are shaded.) There is an area outside to wash your hands after eating and you can download their app and order online which gets you $5 off your meal (that's a good deal) but even without a discount, the food is worth every penny and the portions are generous.

    I used their app to order online because I had heard they sell out. I ordered a brisket and ribs…read morecombo that came with a side and drink. Plus a pulled pork sandwich. It was ready when I pulled up to the lot adjacent to the BBQ restaurant. There is outside seating only and a sink to clean up afterwards. I went in and my food was ready. I opened it and was checking for the extra pickles which were an option in the app. The person who handed me the food said that they had not had pickles in some time because they were having issues with the supplier. Darn. So I decided to eat my pulled pork sandwich at the picnic tables outside. Actually the tables are not that far from the road where cars and trucks whizzed by. I went back and asked for more bbq sauce because I got two small cups of bbq sauce which had about 3 tablespoons of liquid each. Pulled pork always sucks up a lot of sauce. There was plenty of meat and the bun was fresh but overall it would have been perfect with some acid from the pickles. My brisket and rib meal was excellent. I ate it later and I found the southern green beans to be good. I would definitely get this combo again. It came with a drink which is a canned soft drink. It doesn't say on the app but they also have bottled water. Overall I felt this restaurant lived up to all the hype. Check the app for $5 off on your first order. See QR code in the picture.

    Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ is one of my favorite local AYCE. I've been going there since they opened…read more It's a clean and modern aesthetic with typical hot pot and grill at the tables The staff and servers are always attentive and nice. The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

    I've been so many times but all I have is a picture of not meat! lol…read more This is one of Volcano's newer locations on the east side of town. They do both hot pot and kbbq. You can pick one or add the other for only $5 more. They have a good selection of meats, veggies, and others. The app selection isn't my favorite compared to other restaurants but still varied. And the sauce bar is always stocked. If you're hungry, this is the place to go!

    Not bad for BBQ near a tourist area. The service was great with the cashier giving some great…read moresuggestions for me as a first time visitor. The restaurant also offers plenty of room to stay and enjoy your food both indoors and outdoors. It was way too hot so decided to get mine to go. The plate is massive! Lots for chopped brisket and fries. Toast was soggy due to the condensation from the meat so just ok for me. The beans were sweet and smokey, an unexpected treat. The mac & cheese was dry. Didn't care for it. The Brisket - very good. Fell apart. However, I would have preferred it not chopped but sliced instead but still very tasty. And get the sweet BBQ sauce. Adds some depth to the meat. Overall, not bad. Solid 7/10 for me. Give it a go if you're in the area and looking for some quick smoked goodness.

    The service was great and the prices were fair. Cute little space that was too crowded…read more However the food was okay at best. It definitely wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special either. The brisket wasn't as juicy as I would've liked. The fries were okay. Wish they were seasoned crinkle cut. The Mac and cheese was downright terrible. Like watered down velveeta. The barbecue sauce was so necessary because otherwise everything else tasted the same. Their sauces were good but again not anything unique. I probably wouldn't return unless I couldn't get bbq elsewhere.

This restaurant truly puts our soldiers, firefighters, police officers and first responders first and offers delicious and amazing bbq (and more) on their menu and let me tell you, it's some of the best in the area! Super friendly and hardworking staff with a positive attitude and giving their best to their customers. Upon asking one of the staff members about their job, "I LOVE working here!" was their response. Appreciated the positive vibes and energy. The interior is cozy, relaxing, and so much to look at on their walls. There is a very nice seating area outside (with umbrellas) that can be enjoyed, weather permitting. Truly American with a southern flair and great country music playing while you enjoy an amazing meal! With a small donation to support our heroes, you get their American Heroes Cup and and by the way, when in season, strawberry shortcake (homemade) is "to die for!" You won't be disappointed!
