Omg! This spot was the best place to go for BBQ. Everything that we had was outrageously amazing! We ordered more coleslaw to go because that was the best coleslaw we’ve ever had. The key lime pie, guava cheesecake was delicious and great ending to this meal. The owner was very attentive and personable, staff were polite and welcoming. They helped us with our questions and meal decisions. This location is definitely a forever favorite for our trips to Orlando. We will be back again!
I love BBQ and have been to just about every BBQ place in Orlando and hands down this is the best! The brisket was amazing! The macaroni and cheese and beans are a must have! Can’t wait to go again!
As a Texas native who has been living in Orlando for 4 years, I FINALLY found authentic Texas style brisket! The service was amazing. Nani made our experience exceptional! The food was so delicious, and the guava cheese pastry was to die for! This will definitely be a staple in our household!
This place is must go the pulled pork is juicy and full of flavor. The buns were fluffy and a little sweet. The bread pudding is insane. Definitely give this place a try
Hands-down, the best barbecue in Orlando, Florida. The owner has mastered the technique of Central Texas barbecue. I had to purchase a platter and see what the hype was about. It did not disappoint. I ordered beef rib, pork ribs, chicken, brisket, brisket sandwiches and several sides. Couldn’t finish it so I took it home and had plenty leftovers. The line never stopped moving, and I was there for nearly an hour and a half.
This BBQ is incredible! I've lived in Florida for 10 years and have searched hi and low for good bbq - this brisket is the best that I've found! I tried this place for the first time today and tried the Pulled Pork, Brisket and Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage. The Pulled Pork and Brisket were 10/10 and the best I've found anywhere in Florida. The vibe of this place made me know it was going to be authentic and good. From hand written menus to the picnic tables with paper towels and BBQ Sauce on them, the vibe was perfect and just what I needed. I eneded up buying a quart of their sauce to go. Oh, and I should mention the Pinto Beans too - so good! This place is about 40 minutes from whre I live - but I will be back.
Had a delicious lunch today for my birthday at Smokemade Meats and Eats. You will find this restaurant right off of Crystal Lake in an old Pizza Hut building. When you walk in, simple tables and chairs, a menu written on brown paper taped to the glass blocking the food, a corner area with paper plates, plastic cutlery, igloo with water and take out containers. There are also some picnic benches outside. The table ordered one brisket sandwich, one pulled pork sandwich, half pound brisket, medium mac and cheese, medium potato salad and banana pudding. There were two types of barbecue sauce on the table. One was a spicier vinegar and the other was a sweeter mustard. My husband would have really liked the vinegar base but it had no thickness like traditional sauce. We ended up using the sweeter mustard. It was good. The sliced brisket needed no sauce. It had an amazing bark, it was moist and tasty. The pulled pork and brisket sandwiches were equally good. A huge stand out was the amazing macaroni and cheese. I took a bite and said "oh, this is delicious". I really liked the potato salad as well but it is more of a sour cream base with dill versus a mustard or mayonnaise based salad. Both of the side items were made fresh in-house. I could literally come just for the sides. I really wanted to try the zucchini and tomato salad but we didn't get it this time. Oh, the sliced bread that comes when you buy a half pound was really soft and good. It was not that traditional Wonder bread that some places throw on the tray. The banana pudding ended the meal. I did not try it but heard it was good. We were greeted enthusiastically and everyone was friendly. Enjoy!
From a native Texas girl, this place is pretty authentic. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and mac n cheese. The pork was super moist, and the flavoris is chef's kiss. No bbq sauce is needed. The smokiness and seasoning of the meat is all you need.The portion was so large I could only eat half ,the pickledvonions and pickles were icing on the cake. Love ,love ,love . Will be back again for brisket and then the ribs. Maybe burnt ends if on the menu. They have oxtail, too, I bet its just as good. You did Texas right, thank you, sir!
