We were welcomed as soon as we went in. The place looks very nice and the atmosphere was amazing. Mainly by the friendly staff. You can tell they enjoy working there. The placed smells so good, there's no way to not feel hungry if you weren't hungry before. The food was amazing. This is definitely a place to visit, many times. ❤️

Great spot. The staff were incredibly friendly. The food was excellent, and the owners were actively involved. Can’t really say anything negative. As a Brit, the sheer number of choices were almost overwhelming but the staff were on hand to clarify all enquiries. My kids loved the food, and that’s saying a lot. Highly recommended.

This is the BEST BBQ in town! We had the two-meat platters with Spare Ribs and sliced Brisket, and St Louis Ribs with Chicken. The meat is smoked and tender, served with sauces on the side. There is a range of flavored sauces. The sides were as delicious...baked beans, mac & cheese, yams, green beans, and cabbage. The service was friendly and engaging. Because of a TikTok the restaurant was busy with a steady flow of guest traffic. The staff was welcoming and gave clear explanations of available options. The owner/manager engaged with customers, apologized for the wait but really it wasn't excessively long. We were thanked for our business. We will definitely revisit.

I just got back to Colorado from visiting my family in Florida and I had to hop on here to leave a review for this phenomenal BBQ spot. I was born and bred in Florida and I consider myself a BBQ connoisseur. In the 10 years I’ve lived in Colorado I’ve only found 2 places that have had good BBQ by CO standards. I love to travel across the United States in my 4Runner to see beautiful places, meet beautiful people and to enjoy beautifully made food. On my last night in Florida I got dinner at Uncle Tony’s with my mom and we loved it! When I say that I’ve never felt like any establishment I’ve visited deserves more than 5 stars I mean that but Uncle Tony’s Backyard BBQ gets 10 MILLION out of 5 stars. When I say the food was banging, I mean it was BANGING. The party that was occurring in my mouth and in my mind while I was sitting there dancing in my seat and smacking my lips together was unmatched. This isn’t just some BBQ spot, this BBQ joint makes their food with real and true love that you can literally taste with your taste buds. The people who work there aren’t just nice because of niceness sake, the people working at Uncle Tony’s are truly and genuinely kind people. I felt so at home and so welcomed from the moment I pulled my car up to this little spot. I made so much noise while I ate and no one judged me for it because they appreciated how much I was genuinely ENJOYING my food and food is meant to be enjoyed, if you’re not enjoying your food then what the hell are you doing eating it?!?! I will literally frequent Uncle Tony’s anytime I’m home visiting my family from here on out. I can tell by the incredibly wonderful experience that I had here that not only are the customers treated well but I’m sure the employees are as well. This BBQ joint is the definition of southern hospitality in the best way imaginable. I’m an Irish/Portuguese American and I’ve never felt more welcomed anywhere I’ve been in my entire life than I felt at Uncle Tony’s BBQ. This review is completely unsponsored and if you read most of my reviews they’re not raving about how awesome places are… that’s just how incredible Uncle Tony’s is, I’m literally back home in Colorado thinking about their pulled pork sandwich with sweet sauce and even sweeter service; Uncle Tony’s deserves all the accolades.

Top-notch customer service! Very friendly staff who visited our table a few times to check that all was OK and provide us with refills. I took notice that they greeted returning customers by name. And addressed me by name as we were exiting. Now let's talk about the food. Omg...the brisket cheesesteak was everything! The brisket was very tender and flavorful. And the chicken was seasoned to the bone. Neither needed sauce added although there were several options to choose from. We will definitely visit again when I'm back in Florida. Thank you 😊

Tried Tony's BBQ for the first time and it was absolutely amazing! The atmosphere, the food, and especially the customer service! Very friendly staff and the cook/chef staff definitely knows what they're doing! I would wholeheartedly recommend this BBQ restaurant! It is outstanding!!!!

Every time I come down to Orlando I ALWAYS make sure I stop by Uncle Tony’s!!! Best BBQ ever! The pulled pork is so juicy you don’t even need sauce, the mac n cheese is so cheesy, the fries are the perfect shape and seasoned so well, the sweet tea is amazing, and my favorite from here is the cornbread, best I’ve ever had in my life. The staff is so friendly and welcoming!

Hands down some of the best soul food BBQ I’ve had! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Great portions, great service, and even better food. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars I would. This place is an absolute must if you're ever in the Orlando area. The first thing you receive is a friendly smile when you enter the establishment. Melinda was such a joy. She was so helpful letting us know what was good being that it was our first time there. Everyone we came into contact with was so pleasant! That's a rare thing these days. Now let's talk about the food! Amazing!!!! My husband had the pulled pork philly,spare ribs and mac and cheese. I had the mac daddy burger and fries. The burger had pulled pork, mac and cheese and a tasty sweet barbecue sauce. I also got a banana pudding. I'm haven't eaten it yet but I'm sure it'll be good just like everything else. Everything was so good! We want to try all the items on the menu. We will definitely visit again when we come back to Orlando.

Stoped in while I was out car hunting and the food was amazing as good as the best I’ve had in South Carolina the staff was so polite and sweet great place great people definitely will be back had sliced brisket w/ Mac n cheese and collards highly recommend

Some of the best pulled chicken I’ve ever tasted—and I’m from Eastern NC, so that says a lot! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the customer service was absolutely top-tier. I’ll definitely be back if in Orlando, FL.

Found this gem on the way from Port Orange to judge the Lakeland Pig Fest. Dined in with a good friend and had brisket, ribs, pulled pork with sides that included greens, mac n cheese and corn bread. One of the best brick and mortar BBQ I've ever had. Family operated and made us feel like a part of the family. Will definitely be back. Thanks to Tony and his family for a wonderful meal.

Loved the brisket lunch combo. Affordable, came out fast but still felt freshly made. The staff there were very welcoming and friendly. Would 100% come again!

This is the premiere bbq spot in Orlando. I had the experience this past Saturday and I will be going back sooner than later. Ribs were tender and didn't need any sauce. Mac n cheese very tasty. But!!! The banana pudding was EVERYTHING!!!. THIS is my go to for BBQ moving forward. Also, baked beans and potatoes salad (and I don't eat potato salad) were exceptional.

This is an exceptional establishment. This is a locally owned restaurant & well worth the drive away from your typical tourist spots.... best food we had on our trip to Orlando. They have amazing tasting BBQ, outstanding service, and lunch specials with good prices! The pulled pork sandwich, fries, baked beans, mac & cheese, & that southern sweet tea were all top notch, but I was really impressed with how good the green beans tasted when they looked so plain & simple. I'd still like to know how they do that... Side note... I heard them discussing a large future order & the conversation between the owner & the worker were geared toward the customer and which way would work best for the customer- not which way they would make more money.

Jasmine and Shaun were amazing when I walked in the door. They were very welcoming, the restaurant was extremely clean, open and welcoming. They were very friendly and patiently gave an overview of all the items I had questions about. The St. Louis ribs were extremely tender and flavorful. The collard greens had so much flavor. I taste tested several of the sauces and didn’t find a bad one. They were all awesome…. Be careful of the hot 😃 Hold on…. I’m about to try the homemade red velvet …..

We had an amazing experience here! The BBQ was cooked to perfection: tender, smoky, and full of flavor in every bite. The ribs fell right off the bone, the chicken was unbelievably juicy, and the sides were just as impressive (the coleslaw and cornbread is a must-try!). The staff were warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. Service was quick, and the atmosphere made it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. If you love BBQ, or even if you think you love BBQ, this place is a must. We will definitely be coming back!

Uncle Tony's has the friendliest staff I've ever encountered at a BBQ joint! The food had great flavor (the brisket was our favorite) and the tater tots were crispy and had tons of flavor! I like my mac and cheese creamier but the flavor was there so its personal preference. The staff were attentive and explained the menu while also making sure we always had drinks. We felt taken care of and valued as customers! Thank you so much for a great experience!

This place is amazing. Quick service and legit BBQ. I came late and they were out of the brisket but the pulled pork was amazing. They have a fantastic sweet vinegar based bbq sauce that is worth the trip alone. Must visit!

Where can I even begin? Great barbecue, great beverages and great service. The staff was great and very attentive, always checking if we were good and needed refills. The Mac & Cheese is still on my mind like an ex that I never got over of. Plus they were showing Teen Titans 2003 on one of the TV's. It's just peak, man. I will be definitely coming back.

Any time we are in Orlando we look for those delicious “holes in the wall” and we found Uncle Tony’s Backyard Barbecue! Fantastic! We split a two meat plate (chicken and brisket), three sides, and a drink. The meats were excellent. Flavor, moist, and the right amount of smoke! Tried all their house made sauces and they were also wonderful. Better yet, the service is friendly and attentive. If you like Barbecue, then eat here!

Fantastic family owned business. We had St Louis ribs, pulled pork, beans and Mac and Cheese. Everything was amazing and we spent time talking with Tony about his business. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming. Don’t be fooled by the strip mall location - this is the place to get authentic southern bbq done right. Bookmarked in our favorites so we can stop by every time we visit the Orlando area.

Uncle Tony’s is an absolute hidden gem! The food is incredible, but the real star here is the customer service. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with genuine, down-home Southern hospitality that makes you feel right at home. This is hands down some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had. The brisket was cooked to perfection, the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, and every bite was packed with flavor. We ordered Mac N Cheese, Yams, Fried Okra, and Baked Beans as sides, and every single one was delicious. If you’re looking for a standout meal and a place where you’ll be treated like family, this is it. I’ll definitely be back and Uncle Tony’s is officially my go-to BBQ spot.

Uncle Tony sure can BBQ! Every piece of meat was tender, the brisket was delicious. I really enjoyed their sides as well. The Mac and cheese and the krispy fried okra were my favorite sides. They offer a few different sauces, the staff was super friendly and helpful. Their sweet tea was so refreshing. We have no complains! Reasonable prices, the place has limited parking and seating but it will not stop me from going back again. Definitely worth trying if you haven't already!

Ribs as recommended were fantastic. Great flavor and smoke. My family got the plethora of sandwiches, which they thoroughly enjoyed "something other than bbq" as we've been out and about for our vacation. Hospitality was excellent and made sure that we were well accommodated for with drinks, sauces, and food. Brisket was delicious with a great bark. Could take the brisket a little further as the fat seam was a tad thicker but it all got eaten. Collards with turkey had good balance. Baked beans had mild sweetness with tastes of smokiness. The same for the tacos. The cabbage was well seasoned with still good crunch and texture. Seasoning was great and not too salty or peppery. Hints of onion were a nice touch. Overall, very satisfied with this meal and looking forward to my next trip back to Orlando to revisit this place. Locals need to keep them open. Get your company to cater from here!

Yall I don’t even live in Orlando and this place has been on my mind. I live in Stamford , CT and every time I go back home to Orlando to visit I make a stop here. The food is amazing. I still think about this food on a weekly basis 😭. The sweet lemonade makes me want to dougie in the middle of street. Also the costumer service is top tier. 10/10

The BBQ is So Damn Good it makes you feel at Home!! Service is Top Notch and the sauce just puts it over the top. Enough food to fill a Grown Man Belly and have a few left overs with the warmth of visiting your favorite relatives home. Definitely worth the stop if flying in for business or pleasure!!! I will definitely be back!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing meal with me and I look forward to coming back soon

Best BBQ I've had in a while. The food is delicious. We had ribs, a brisket sandwich plate and a pulled pork plate. The sides were delicious too. Everyone working there was extremely nice. The man working the register had suggestions, He was spot on. Thank you all for a delicious dinner!

The barbecue here is on point. The brisket absolutely melts in your mouth. The best barbecue I have so far tasted in Central Florida. With you order, try their lemonade. The gentleman taking the orders, played multiple roles - taking orders, serving, cleaning tables etc. The restaurant was quite busy, but he was very efficient. This restaurant is highly recommended and will go on my "Will Be Back" list👌

Guys!! This is the best BBQ I’ve ever had, Tony and the staff are the kindest and sweetest people. The ribs, brisket and side are to die for. Tender, cooked to perfection and you can feel the love in every bite. Like a hug from home, this place brings out emotions I didn’t think BBQ could. Amazing job guys! Wishing you all the best from the land down under.

Lovely food, good prices. Kind and welcoming staff. Visited from the UK and thoroughly enjoyed it here. Recommend to everyone in the market for BBQ in the Orlando area.

I haven’t found a good BBQ spot in Florida since relocating from NC….Do not walk run…the food is absolutely delicious. I love the fact they have different BBQ flavors….That mustard sauce whew iykyk…10/10 I had the 2 meat and 2 sides Brisket/Ribs Mac and cheese/ Fries…everything was great and the portions whew was definitely more than enough. Update This is my second time eating uncle Tony’s this week 🥹 this time I had the collard greens and yellow rice and beans along with the two meat plate including ribs and brisket…I don’t know who’s cooking those collards but may God bless you because it’s the best thing I ever had 😩and once again everything else was top tier. I really enjoy the staff they are always friendly and welcoming 🥰I added a photo however the sides were already ate in the car 🥹

Really awesome service with food to match. I got brisket, collards, and mac n cheese. Staples in the best bbq in my opinion. Fire. Bomb. All the above. Good portions. I got hot bbq sace. Gonna have to try the extra hot next time. And some ribs. Must check this spot out. I will definitely be back for seconds.

Single handedly the greatest BBQ I’ve ever had. The staff were some of the most welcoming and kind people ever. The food came out fresh and quick. Pricing was great! Every time we are back in Orlando we will be back!

This is literally the best BBQ I've had in my entire life. If you don't care for barbecue because it's dry, because the ribs never have enough meat on them and stick to the bone, if the brisket you've had before has been underwhelming, come to Uncle Tony's. The meat is hot, fresh, it falls off the BONE and melts in your mouth! And their hot BBQ sauce, I didn't even need it but heard so many good things, had to. Delicious heat throughout the mouth. Their Mac and cheese is amazing, the garlic mashed potatoes perfection, we talked with LaShonda, one of the owners and she gave us some candied yams to try.... I saw God. Like a dessert. I can't wait to come back and try the Dinobones!

Southern hospitality at its finest. The gentleman working the counter for lunch today 2/26/26, great asset to your business. He asked questions and gave advice on what to order for someone visiting the area. I felt incredibly welcomed and comfortable. The spare ribs were meaty and pulled right off the bone. The mixed brisket was perfectly tender, smoky and flavorful with just the right combination of fat and lean beef. The hot BBQ sauce may be the best BBQ sauce I’ve ever had. Run, don’t walk to Uncle Tony’s

So Uncle Tony's is a good little BBQ joint with a down home feeling. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and hot. The only thing was the parking.

While we really liked the folks working here and the atmosphere was five for a place like this we were quite disappointed by the food. Just average. My ribs were both dry, and served lukewarm.

I got the Brisket Philly. The reason for my 3 Star rating on the food is because the Brisket was a bit salty. Here's the kicker, I'm a salt, Savory, type so for me to say this, I'd imagine someone sensitive to salt would just say it was way too salty. The Brisket was nice in flavor & tender but yes, it was a but over seasoned on the salt side. Maybe I just had a one off that the cook got heavy handed that time. However, I'd order it again for sure, of course, hoping that this was again, a one off because of it wasn't over seasoned, there's no doubt that this would be one of the best Philly's around. So, although I live in Melbourne & I just happen to be over at the Florida Mall, next time I'm in the area, I'll go back! The Fried Okra was great! So that's my experience that day, Friday the 8th of August, but again, I'd order it again because of the potential of it being so delicious if not over seasoned. The staff & owner (female) were very pleasant!
