    Brisket Plate - $1 extra for cornbread - Sweet Tea with Splash of House Lemonade
    Joy J.

    1 star for EXPERIENCE. I am not a fan of corners of cornbread. So i requested to switch it to a middle portion of cornbread. The young lady asked me what was wrong with the cornbread and I told her im not a fan of cornered things like cornbread or brownies etc. So she then said oh the portion you have they gave you 2 slices etc .. I told the lady I am not a fan of cornered corn bread. It's a diner preference. So this whole cornbread thing was a chaos. She got the boss lady involved now because the young lady before she went to the back and got the boss lady she told me if I were to switch to a middle piece of corn bread I will need to pay another $1 for a new slice while she takes what I have on my tray. WHO DOES THAT?!!!! WHO CHARGES ANOTHER PIECE OF CORNBREAD WHEN YOU ARE TAKING THE ONE FROM ME IN THE FIRST PLACE?!!! So then i had to clarify with the young lady LOL I asked her - " So you want me to pay another $1 for you to take the corner cornbread from my tray for you to replace it with a middle piece ?!" Now mind you this young lady had a fork and a to go container in her hands removing the cornbread from my tray LOL WHO DOES THIS TO A NEW CUSTOMER WHILE THEY ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF EATING THEIR FOOD ?!!!! Removing food thats been exposed from the diner and you as a employee removing food in front of a diner's face?!!!!! WOW. It caught me off guard cause I have never experienced that while dining out. Ever. So the boss lady came back with her asking me why and this and that about the cornbread. The boss lady asked me why I didn't mention it earlier to request a middle piece etc .. I assumed most cornbread are served in middle pieces and not corner ends. She mentioned the young lady was new when I had mentioned being asked to pay another $1 to replace the cornbread. The boss lady then said she had no problem replacing the cornbread of my request. Now get this. When they took my cornbread from my tray I thought to myself - a customer pays extra for this cornbread and after it being touched or exposed from me and mouth etc - they had the audacity to still remove it from my tray LOL most would leave that cornbread and handed me a new one right?! Nope. They took it away and the boss lady said upon giving me the new piece - " of I cant afford this and that etc" she pretty much stated she cant afford to leave me what i had on my tray and also give me a replacement. LOL This establishment must be struggling financially for boss lady to say that. Also when she handed me (boss lady) the replacement of cornbread - her long nails were touching my cornbread wearing NO GLOVES serving diners food with her long acrylic nails!!! The young lady asked me how was everything after a few minutes of me eating the food and I told her - The lady handed me my cornbread with her long nails touching my food. Let her know if the health department ever see that - thats not good. The taste of the food - Tad bit salty on the greens and brisket. Collards were fresh greens not canned i barely saw smoked meats in it but it was piping hot when served. Tender greens slight bitterness, tad salty - the collards were kind of similar tasting with Ms. Kims - The portions of the greens were ok. Enough to eat with the meat and mac & cheese. Mac & Cheese - it was dry tbh there was a cheese taste factor but I figured they close at 7pm? And I probably got the end batch of the day? It was not creamy or any cheese pull factor. Ms. Kim's or Homecoming or even Chick-fil-A mac and cheese is better imo. The Brisket - this was the one I was looking forward to trying and was slightly un impressed. Like I said maybe I came in probably towards the end of the day but no excuse if you are known for this in your menu. First of all the portions here for a BBQ place the portions are not big portions. Its "enough" LOL - For me they sliced it to 3 slices with it being each piece size of my palm. It was soft tender in the fatty centers but dried out in some areas of the meat it had a hard jerky type texture on some areas of the brisket. I didn't see a smoke ring on the meats. The meat was tad bit salty for my taste. I had to drizzle the house sweet bbq sauce to balance the saltiness. It was not the best brisket imo. It had a slight smokey flavor but the bits of pcs of hardened meat threw me off. The house made bbq sauce had a vinegar note in the end but for me it wasn't a sparkle sauce. I can get the same taste with Sweet Baby Rays. Banana Pudding was more a trifle than pudding. The sweet tea with lemonade tasted homemade - too sweet for me though. I should have gotten unsweetened with lemonade instead. I asked for a to go of their house lemonade. For me it tasted like country time with added fresh lemon juice - too sweet not necessarily tangy. It was ok. I have no plans coming back here just on the experience and the food was salty a mediocre for my taste. Mohawk Smokehouse will be my next BBQ spot I will need to try!

    Brisket and pulled chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans

    As someone who eats out often, it's hard to get wowed with food. This place is as authentic as it gets. Brisket was delicious, ribs were perfectly cooked and the beans... wow! We ordered a second side of beans. The staff were courteous and helpful, checking on our table to make sure everything was good. We were there for lunch and everyone there had such a nice vibe and tells you is family oriented place. Thank you for giving my family one more reason to come back to Orlando more often.

    Well, we saw Uncle Tony's Backyard BBQ on Instagram, and my boyfriend and I were so happy we found this spot. The atmosphere was very welcoming from the moment we walked in. We got the "two meats and two sides" combo. We also learned that the lemonade and fruit punch come with refills. I usually don't even like fruit punch, but this one was so good that I made my boyfriend try it again! The lemonade was also excellent -- not overly sweet and not too tangy. 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. I also got the chicken breast with collard greens and mac and cheese. I'm saving some for tomorrow, but I already know it's going to be amazing! "Lastly, their prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality of food they serve. The value here is honestly amazing. Everyone there was so nice, and I think we even met the owner. We truly feel like we found the best BBQ spot! We loved the food so much that we took photos and sent them to our families. Super friendly people and fantastic food -- we'll definitely be back!

    Have you ever had a "Hell Yeah" moment at an establishment? Well yesterday's visit was my moment. I couldn't stop saying it after each bite of food...lol! Friends of mine invited me and my son here and I'm thankful for them. It's a bit of a drive for me but it was worth it. The location can cause issue for parking but there is some overflow parking. They are popular so go early if you want a good selection of food. We went later on Saturday and they were out of a few things I wanted to try but I'll be back. This is a family owned business and service was on point! We met one of the owners and she was wonderful! I'm happy to continue supporting them. You can choose to take your order to go or dine in. Tables fill up quickly so it may be better to order to go if you're in a hurry. I ordered a 2 meat combo with spare ribs and chopped brisket. I chose 2 sides, Mac and cheese and collard greens along with garlic bread. I was in love at first bite! No sauce needed but if you choose to sauce you can't go wrong with any of their homemade sauces. My favorite was the extra hot and the vinegar based. The sides were on point in all areas. No complaints. My son got the same meats but got fried okra. It was the best okra I've had in a long time. Seriously you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Run don't walk!

    Brisket Dinner with Beans Okra and Cornbread
    Mitchell F.

    JB was super friendly and welcomed me in, took great care of me throughout the entire experience, and provided great recommendations. I was hungry so I did a brisket plate with baked beans, fried okra and cornbread. The brisket was good as is, but their sweet sauce was also good. The baked beans were amazing with lots of smokey flavor. The Okra had a nice seasoning to it, would be nice to add some kind of aoli or something to it but ranch is a good option to it as well.

    Landed in Orlando, and I was hungry. I found this BBQ joint tucked into a strip mall off the road, surrounded by a used car dealer and a handful of auto shops. Parking was a bit dicey, folks were definitely taking liberties with the lines. I walked in during the lunch rush but had no trouble placing my order. The server and staff had a natural energy that kept the place buzzing and genuinely friendly. I went with the lunch combo, featuring spare ribs with a good smoky flavor and fork‑tender texture. For sides, I chose the seasoned shoestring fries and the green beans, also seasoned, which more places should do. Vegetables deserve flavor too. For sauces, I tried the tangy and the mustard. I'm not a fan of sweet sauces, so the mustard was the clear winner for me. The food was good, but the service was great. The server remembered my name and used it throughout my visit, which earned the place an extra bump from a solid four stars to a full five. Orlando is a city dominated by touristy chain restaurants. Uncle Tony's is not that. It's a local spot that makes you feel right at home.

    The people are so welcoming! Their service was not too bad we did have a large group. The allowed reservations a week in advance which was awesome! The place is small but they got us all together which was awesome! The food OMG it was so goood!!!!!!!! There was not something I didn't like. The Dino rib only on the weekend was so fall off the bone yummy! The sides were flavorful and good! I would definitely go back and highly recommend!

    Where do I start? This place is amazing! Our ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken all so tasty and tender. The cornbread coleslaw and garlic potato deliciousness! Walk in and greeted immediately. Given the menu to view, ordered at the counter and brought to the table.

    This is my favorite bbq spot in Orlando. I love the service here they always remember me and treat me so kindly not only me but every guest! They constantly check on each person and make sure they have everything. They have tons of sauces to choose from. Their meat is to die for! If you come you have to get the brisket for sure!!! I love to get their 2 meat combo with two sides. If you're a fry or tator tot lover the seasoning is 10/10. Banana pudding is top tier. This spot gets really busy!

    Vanilla biscoff cake
    Brett N.

    Why 4 stars? Because the people were so nice, it was impossible to not have a good experience. --- --- --- A BBQ place with an amazing rating, only a few minutes from the airport? There was no easier decision in my life on where to eat on my way out of Orlando. Quickly scanning the reviews, I saw multiple people saying that the people here are super friendly, and that is a massive understatement. I cannot remember interacting with a nicer and more genuine group of people at a restaurant. I think at least 5-6 people came over to my table to check on me throughout my lunch, and while that might sound overbearing, they all did it in such an authentic way that made my entire time here so pleasant. As for the food, it's hard to judge BBQ when I come from Texas aka the mecca for all things BBQ. I'll get the negative things out of the way first. The sliced brisket was a rough one. Again, I hate being critical with how awesome these people were, but I think it's important to be honest. The brisket was not close to my favorite places in Texas. 2-stars. The only other miss for me was the vanilla biscoff cake. I like vanilla. I like biscoff. I like cake. But I could have done without this. It seemed to just be a super basic cake with some whip cream and biscoff drizzle on top. Another 2-stars from me. But the good news is that I enjoyed everything else. Spare Ribs: 4-stars. Good flavor and the perfect amount of tender. Mac-n-cheese: 4.5-stars. Just a solid rendition of mac that I'd probably order on every future trip to Tony's if I lived in the area. Cornbread: 4.5-stars. Pretty much everything you want in a good cornbread. Baked Beans: 5-stars. There was a subtle amount of sweetness to these that really hit the spot. And again, the customer service here was an easy 5-stars. I have no idea when I'll be back in Orlando again, but I'll be rooting for these great people from afar!

    Pulled Pork lunch
    Jennifer R.

    Arrived in Orlando and was looking for a place to eat lunch, looked at yelp and this place is one of the top lunch places in the area. Walked inside and they were crowded! Staffs are friendly and attentive! Upon entering we went to the line to order, their menu is not that big or overwhelming it was perfect with great selections. We ordered and paid $35 for two meals plus too. The place has a nice friendly ambiance. We sat down immediately to a two seater table. We loved every bite and my favorite was the mac and cheese and the chicken. Hubby's fave was the pulled pork and the baked beans. We also got corn bread for each one of us. It was good but q bit dry. Anyway, we will definitely be back if we visit again!

Our waiter, Tim, came right to our table and he was immediately warm and personable. We ended up speaking and joking with him throughout the meal and it made it that much more enjoyable. We ordered mac & cheese, a biscuit, broccolini l, coleslaw and two chicken burgers. For one of the chicken burgers, we asked for grilled chicken instead of fried chicken and they were more than happy to accommodate. Both the grilled and fried chicken were incredibly tender and the sandwiches were so tasty. The mac & cheese was some of the best I've ever had. It was creamy and cheesy with a layer of baked cheese on top. The coleslaw was also perfectly sweet and crunchy. The biscuit was cheesy, warm and flaky. To end our email, Tim brought us a piece of hummingbird cake on the house, and we really appreciated the gesture. Between the food and the service, this was a fantastic experience and I can't wait to go back.

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

    Hey there! Went to Nikki's place this past weekend with my wife and my son and I'll tell you, it…read moredidn't disappoint. I've been wondering for a while where to get some good stick to your ribs so food, so when my wife told us that Nikki's Place reached out to her to come try some authentic soul food, I had to join her. We had to make sure to get an array of different things to try as much as possible. So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

    I called in for a to go order. Luckily I was 5 minutes away from the restaurant. I ordered the…read moreFried Chicken, Candied Yams, Cabbage and White Rice. It took less than 10 minutes to receive the food. It was really good. I definitely need to come back for more.

    It's a great spot for cocktails and dinner down on the ground level of the Ritz! Warning that it…read morewas very cold (even for me) down there - it's nice that have blankets you can put over your legs. Service was excellent and we were the drinks (margs so good) and loved the IPAs. Ladies really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits! The smoked Iberico was weird and G instead share C awesome grits. I had the skirt steak and it was cooked to perfection, very good and filling (couldn't finish it all). Great place to unwind after a long day

    Our family of four had dinner at Highball & Harvest last night. This was our third dinner at the…read moreRitz/JW Grande Lakes and possibly one of my least favorite meals. Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.
