Cecil's is so confident about how good their BBQ is, they give you as much sauce as you want! I am about the sauce and you should definitely use it, but not needed. The regular rib plate does not skimp on the meat. Their sides are classic and you even get a free soft serve cone at the end. They have the classic Texas size cups with the best ice. I had a tall glass of water and loved it. Do not miss dining in and provides plenty of options that are accessible to all body types.
Cecil's is a barbecue restaurant about 15 minutes from the airport. They have a bunch of parking spots here right off the street and it's easy to get to. Inside they have about 2 dozen tables. When you walk in, you order the meat and then it's self serve for sides. The menu is a good size, and it's best to get 3 meats since it's only a dollar more. Prices are good for the portion sizes. The pulled pork is the best, closely followed by the Brisket. The ribs were sub par unfortunately, not as tender or flavorful as I expected. The sauces are a self self bar too, so make sure to get some. Overall a solid spit, especially with the extremely friendly staff.
Two of us ordered at RockPit brewing the grilled cheese (ordered jalapeños jack) with pulled pork sandwich and the pulled pork sundae. One word describes both….AWESOME! For me it has been the best meal I have eaten this week while visiting Florida.
Leaving for home tomorrow and stopping back before our flight. Will let you know if it’s equally as good on our 2nd visit. Will include pics.
Ordered the same grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich added potato salad. The potato salad was creamy, dill with big pieces of potato-very good. The grilled cheese was equally as good as when I had it last week. Also ordered the three rib plate with slaw and beans. The beans are super, smoky good, not over cooked. Cole slaw is creamy, sweet and tangy-very good. The ribs were great smoky, fall off the bone, done right. BBQ sauce was balance of sweet and smoky.
The prices are right and the food is very good. We highly recommend Cecil’s. NUM!
The food is so good! It's delicious authentic Texas style BBQ (I'm born and raised TX). Pulled pork, turkey, brisket, beef ribs (Sunday only), sandwiches, and more. The sides are also sooo freaking good! My favorite is potatoes with cheddar cheese. The customer service is not the best (typical Orlando), but the food makes up for it. Definitely a family place or good place to take a date. Not a fast paced or ridiculously crowded place. I plan on going there more often. 4/5 for me
Pretty cool experience all around really love when you walk in, you get to see your food slices and cut right there. Also love how it’s “get your own sides” so you can see what you are getting before eating.
The sampler is also VERY reasonably priced x
This place serves excellent pulled pork and other savory delicious meats. It also has a large selection of side items. It’s semi self serve (you get your sides buffet style) and you get your own sodas. There is no wait staff. We will definitely be eating there in the future to get our BBQ fix!
The brisket and sausage lunch was delicious. The brisket was very tender and needed no sauces to give it flavor, it was perfect all by itself. I really liked the jalapeño popper, wish I had ordered more of them.
If I could give more stars I would!!! The food is amazing and the service is textbook!!! The moment I walked in the staff greeted me and sparked up a conversation. I stood there for a few minutes while they were prepping my to-go order and that did not take long at all.
If you want a friendly environment with great BBQ this is YOUR spot. Keep up the great work Cecils!!!
Amazing team that work here! The food is next level and the portions are huge. Purchased the sampler, with an extra side and a drink for $39.
First time here and would definitely visit again if in the area. Opened the door and was welcomed. I had small portion of turkey (I'd hate to see the large), Mac n cheese and potato salad. I like that we get to spoon out our own side items! They have so much to choose from. Also had their Texas mud desert which is like a mix of pudding and frosting and Oreos we think?!? Haha
