    Chopped brisket, cornbread, baked beans and Mac and cheese, Arnold palmer & Lemonade
    Hannah B.

    I love me some bbq, stopped here for lunch with my friends and everything was so good! I got the brisket meal with Mac and cheese, cornbread and baked beans. I also got an Arnold Palmer which they mentioned they brewed. The service was really good. Great place to eat if you're in this area.

    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!

    Lunch special: ribs, corn bread, cabbage and Mac n cheese!

    The moment you walk into this place you are greeted by the entire staff. Everyone here is so sweet and helpful! The spot is small and you'd never think it's there and if you are skeptical to go in, don't be! The atmosphere is welcoming and they play good music and the food is ÔMG! Soooooo good and flavorful! 10/10 recommend! Def will be back for more!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 sandwich
    Ashleigh K.

    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!

    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!

    Restaurant Review: Uncle Tony's Backyard Barbecue Location: Orange Avenue Visit Date: Saturday, June 7th This past Saturday, I was in the mood to switch things up from my usual go-to spots. I hopped on TikTok in search of something new and local and that's when I came across Uncle Tony's Backyard Barbecue, located conveniently off Orange Avenue. It looked promising, so I decided to give it a try. Upon arrival, I snapped a few photos of the outside and the menu (see below). I went with the baby back ribs, which came with potato salad and macaroni and cheese as my sides. Here's how everything stacked up: * Baby Back Ribs: These were the highlight of the meal flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. Definitely the star of the plate. 5/5 * Potato Salad: Unfortunately, this side didn't quite hit the mark for me. It wasn't as chilled as I prefer, and the flavor leaned heavily toward sweet relish. If you like your potato salad cold and more balanced, this may not be it. 3/5 * Macaroni & Cheese: The flavor was there, but it could've used a bit more oven time for that perfect baked finish. Still tasty, just a little underbaked for my liking. 4/5 Overall Thoughts: Uncle Tony's has great potential, especially if you're craving some solid barbecue. The ribs alone are worth the visit! As for a return trip? Possibly especially to explore more menu items and give them another shot. Customer service was great the lady that took my order explained how the meats were cook.

We ordered the buffalo chicken egg rolls and the deviled eggs (with no bacon) as appetizers. For our new drinks we got margaritas, I got a regular margarita and my partner got a passion fruit margarita. For entrees, I had the famous fried chicken and my hubby had the meatloaf.

The server came around and took our orders, promptly brought our water every time our water was low, and checked in on us. I got the Caesar salad, the Mushroom Stroganoff and the bread pudding. All three were delicious. The salad was straightforward and was exactly what I would expect from a Caesar salad, but the stroganoff was the standout. The pasta was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The only thing I could say that would make it even better was if it was a little less salty. The mushrooms really carried through, the sauce was creamy, and the micro greens helped brighten up the brown color palate. The desert, I love bread puddings and this had a modern twist. It was served as a square, crispy on the outside, like it was deep fried, covered with cinnamon sugar, but still soft on the inside. It was almost like a bread pudding crossed with a churro, which I loved. Highly recommend, I will also say, I love all their restaurants.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

For appetizers, we tried the brussel sprouts and the burrata. We all agreed that the brussel sprouts were the best we've ever had. They had a kimchi vinaigrette making them sweet, savory and salty. Each bite really hit all flavor profiles and they were also crispy. For our second appetizer, we ordered the burrata which was served with a tomato and strawberry gazpacho. It was really fresh and it was a nice pallet cleanser after the brussel sprouts. For my entree, I ordered the Alabama chicken. I was excited because my friend ordered this last time and I really liked it. I was underwhelmed this time. The chicken was a little dry and the fried Mac and cheese was really dry. For dessert, we ordered chocolate olive oil cake, which was very moist. We also ordered the hazelnut panna cotta, which was a special. It was good but compared to the cake, it wasn't very memorable. As for service, it was excellent. It's a very small dining room and you do need a reservation.
