    Collard greens & Baked beans
    Phil E.

    Very pleasant place Fantastic prices (somewhat hard to believe) Best chicken around Pulled pork portion (huge) Looking forward to trying the ribs Small place Looks family owned (even met Willie) Staff is busy but very polite No Coke Zero (thanks to The Black Bear next door for helping complete our dinner).

    Pulled pork sandwich with baked beans

    This is a local bbq place located in Monteverde. Small and simple in decor and a small area outside to sit (one picnic table or two- 2 seater tables in the front). It's a small business and black owned which we loved as we are really looking to visit more local establishments and support minority owned businesses. My husband got the meal deal (2 meats and 2 sides). He got the ribs and chicken and for sides got the mac and cheese and the collard greens. The chicken was moist and you could taste the smoke flavoring in the chicken. The ribs are what we would refer to as catering ribs. They appeared to be boiled. Easy to eat off the bone but was lacking the smoke flavor we were looking for. I got the pulled pork sandwich with the baked beans as my side. The pulled pork really didn't have any flavor to it. I was expecting a little smoke or seasoning and got nothing. They have two sauces, a traditional bbq (on the sweeter side) and a Carolina style. I like the sauce on the pulled pork sandwich as it gave it a little more flavor. The baked beans were traditional and nothing more. Parking is limited but there is additional parking along the side by black bear kitchen. The staff at Willie's truly understand what hospitality means and are all very knowledgeable and truly cares about their customers experience.

    This is a small place that you must try. They were so busy, people were getting food to go, calling in orders and a few dined in. Parking lots holds maybe 5 cars so we parked on the side of the black bear. I got the 1/4 chicken and it was the best I've had since I was a kid and dad grilled chicken. The potato salad was ok. Drinks are in a can or bottled water. Prices are unbelievable low. We met Willie himself, he was so nice. Love to support a small business.

    Willie's BBQ has been highly recommended by the people of Clermont, and I'll say that now that I've tried it, I won't be going anywhere else for BBQ. This little hole in the wall stop is as good as it gets! The food is so fresh and savory, the meats are smoked to perfection, and the sides are tended to with the care they deserve rather than being an afterthought. The prices are a breath of fresh air in this economy and the service is top notch. Everyone that works at Willie's is so friendly and always happy to offer a suggestion. They're only open on weekends, and seating is limited, but our family loves to get takeout and walk over to the little park around the block to enjoy a picnic. This is such a great hidden gem in Montverde!

    I loved Mr Willie's Grill. I can not recommend this place enough. They are located in Montverde and only open on Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 7 pm. It's a tiny restaurant filled with so many odds and ends and this and that's. It is also filled with tons of gracious southern hospitality and delicious food. You can taste the love and definitely feel welcomed as if you were a family member. My oldest daughter and I stopped by on their one year anniversary. We ordered a chicken and ribs combo meal. It came with two side so we picked the baked beans and collards. The collards were nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. The chicken and ribs were so moist and tender. I immediately preferred their BBQ over all of the others that I have visited before. They added peach cobbler to their menu this week. It was delicious. The spices were smooth and warm. They enhanced the other ingredients and left me wanting more. I will be back often.

    Pulled pork $5.95

    Oh my word!! People say Florida isn't really part of the south, but stop here and you'll change your mind! This southern bbq joint is clean, quaint and the family running it couldn't be sweeter. They are only open on Fri and Saturdays starting at 11-7. This place is a must! ! Try the pulled pork sandwich, which melts in your mouth, for $5.95 with two sides. Mac n cheese and potato salad are my jam. We were able to sample the ribs which were fall off the bone goood. And to top it off, the owner's daughter is a health inspector! You will be a repeat customer. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

    I came here because I thought they were gonna be as good as the Sand Lake location. I visited Sand…read morelake after spending the day at Disney. The food was fresh and hot. I drove to this location and I was a little disappointed. I waited at the drive thru for a few minutes and nobody ever came on to take my order. Maybe the computer just got stuck because not even the AI came on to take my order. We went inside and it was very busy. Our food didn't take long but it was packed to the brim in a tiny bag (I got the 10 castle cheeseburgers) and they left out 1 fry (comes with 2 and 2 drinks) We had to ask for sauces even though I ordered chicken rings. Food wasn't hot... just kinda warm. My sister had to go back inside to get the fries. They didn't ask any questions but why was 2 things left out and the burgers weren't hot... seems like they don't care about that part. They have a lot of workers in the kitchen at once, someone should be able to make sure the order is accurate. Probably won't be back to this location.

Totally expected and was okay with waiting 5 minutes. Wasn't okay with waiting the actual 20 minutes. After checking in with the guy at the register he pulled the ticket and placed it on the line. Never said anything else to me. Apparently he forgot in the time he pulled the ticket to the time he bagged it and put it under the hot lamp. They were still serving other folks who had ordered before I arrived so I assumed it wasn't my order. After 15 minutes and people arriving and getting their food, I asked if the order was ready. Lo and behold it had spent the last 15 minutes under the hot lamp. He also apparently forgot the mozzarella sticks. So they asked if I wanted the burgers now or wait 5 more minutes for the Mozarella sticks. I took the food bc my 4 year old had waited long enough. Get to the coke freestyle, and they're out of napkins and straws. Counters were dirty and could have used some attention. After getting that from the clerk he again forgot I was standing right in front of him when he called out my name for the Mozarella sticks. The burgers were lukewarm, surprise surprise. Overall not impressed. This is the 3rd time I've had subpar service since thy opened. The shine has clearly worn off, and the owner/operator doesn't care about the long term success of this location since they've let it go to hell so quickly.

It's a great option when you're on the go and have minimal time while not compromising on food quality. What I will say is over the years there is less and less space for the actual consumer to sit. There is an entire area which used to hold multiple tables that is just boarded up for storage? It seems odd and takes away from the dine in experience. Overall food is great as always and served hot. I love the peach milkshake! Updating my review: as I was finishing my meal, there were three girls who worked there still in uniform, probably on break or done for the day that were talking about their pay and how much they get paid. That's not the issue. My issue was the amount of F-bombs being dropped over and over despite the fact they were right next to me as I was eating my lunch. They were literally back to back with me dropping Extremely vulgar language. Unbelievably distasteful and not the way I wanted my meal to go.

We were greeted by Miyah, and wow... what a sweet lady she is. She was incredibly attentive and helpful, guiding us through the menu and explaining the dishes. Her recommendations were excellent.

She's the kind of person who makes you feel genuinely welcome, and the establishment should feel very lucky to have her there. Kudos to her and to the entire staff.

The restaurant is all about American pride and the food is what demonstrates that! The meat prepared is never frozen and always freshly made, that's what the floor hostess/waitress told me! I completely forgot her name but she was amazing and I appreciate her telling me about the sauces and how she presented herself on the floor and patrons ! Being my first time, I was overwhelmed and the cashier Rachel clarified the menu and how the system works perfectly. I judge a bbq place by not just the meat by its collard greens and OMG 10 out of 10! I got the 2 meats plate with a side. The brisket and pulled pork (which you have the option of getting lean or moist), was delicious. It really was cooked to perfection. The menu basically works with chosing the meat and adding whatever side. It's a la carte basically. You also get a corn bread with your plate, which was delicious! It seems they have a VIP membership for veterans and active military and they get complimentary dessert too. Basically, great authentic American BBQ for the win!

I got mine with rice and black beans which I didn't take a picture of because everyone knows what that looks like lol. Both of the sides were fine. Nothing out of the ordinary.
