Driven past this place many times but never stopped in until someone mentioned to check them out. Had the pulled pork sandwich. This was in the middle of the day so was not busy and got the food very quickly. I got it to go, got the sauce on the side. The other pulled pork sandwich I had in this UCF area is 4 Rivers, I would say subjectively, both are good. I like 4 Rivers pulled pork a little bit more but Bubbalou's gave a lot more meat. I would say if in the mood for eating a lot of pulled pork, this is the place to go. The side mac and cheese was standard and decent. Next time will try a different side and see.

First of all the BBQ was awesome. I had the baby back ribs and tried the pulled pork both were fall off the bone good. The staff were very good as well. Took time to explain to new comers how things worked as far as the menu goes in a very courteous manner. The building itself was decorated in a very cool and unique way. With old signs, garage doors and other interesting things to look at. Bubbalou's is a must if you are in the Orlando area.

If you're interested in good barbecue this would be a great place to stop. While not as good as you might find in Austin or Memphis, it was a good stop for some ribs and a beer. Meat was fall off the bone tender. People were friendly, prices were fair, food was really good. Our party also highly recommended the pulled pork.

Great beef brisket sandwich and cheesy grits! Their Killer sauce, though not very hot, had great flavor. Their other sauces were not hot, though decent enough. The restaurant also had an eclectic variety of amusing pig and barbecue decorations. The staff was friendly enough and the place was clean.

Food is always good. The BBQ sauce is okay and balanced slightly on the vinegary side and missing some of the tomato flavors. The wait staff is friendly and courteous. The environment is clean, ample and southern cozy. Very family appropriate, Not like a sports bar.

First: It shocks me they only have a 3.6 stars. This place is a must if your in the area. Were big fans of BBQ & trying new places when were out of town. This was on our to do list since bc we love BBQ, and we were in town for 2 weeks. Aubrey, The Cashier was Professional & Polite. She was very knowledgeable about the History of the Resturant and the Menu. They also are dog friendly bc of outside seating. We had a Rescue Great Dane In Training to be a Therapy Dog in the Jacksonville area for VA hospital, and Nursing homes. They welcomed us with smiles. The Manger on duty Christina was very professional and Friendly as well. You can tell her staff respects & appreciates working for her and with her. I would give y'all a ten if I could, but a 5 will have to Do! Thank you so much a Novice reviewer from Jacksonville Florida. Tia Kimberly

Drive by all the time and finally found time to stop. Wife and I got the pork special plate (pork, fries and garlic bread) Service was great, employees very nice. Food was good, not great. Prices seemed to be in line with other places, I'm a big guy and thought the portion was a tad small.

Came here as a suggestion from a friend. I ordered one of their specials, 8 wings (mild garlic) and added a side of Mac and cheese and garlic bread. The wings and garlic bread are delicious. The Mac and cheese was okay but I rarely expect over the top amazing Mac and cheese from a restaurant. I would definitelt recommend this place. The cashier was super friendly and pleasant.

I eat a lot of BBQ and this place was a pleasant surprise. Don't expect to be waited on. You place your order at the counter and take a seat and they bring it to you much like the Loop. The food was delicious and the different BBQ sauces were very tasty. I preferred the original. I had the turkey sandwich on garlic toast with slaw and fries. The only improvement would have been the sweet tea.
