Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que

The food was good and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The killer sauce was not killing but then again I'm Jamaican so you'll know how that goes. Your hot/spicy and mine are different. 😊 The server was pleasant and helpful.

Had a great experience my first time here! I was in the mood for a chicken sandwich and theirs are very good! The ingredients were fresh, the bread was good, and the fries were fresh! I substituted the beans for Mac and cheese and did NOT regret it. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of what their menu has to offer.

Came here for dinner while on a family vacation on a Saturday evening. One of the few places I can eat at as a carnivore (I just give away my sides to my family). Easy to find place with plenty of free parking in the strip mall. I loved the atmosphere and the staff were extremely nice and helpful. I ordered the 4-meat special (sliced beef, sliced pork, ribs, and chicken) which sounded good bc of the variety. However, I was a little disappointed. I think I should’ve tried the pulled pork and chopped brisket instead because the sliced meat had no taste. Just be aware, the meal is already 21.99 and they up-charge for the better meat. The ribs tasted good, but were not the tender, fall-off-the-bone type. Finally, the chicken was just so-so. I’d still recommend this place, but I’d definitely get other types of meat if I go back again.

Bubbalou’s Bodacious Bar-B-Que is hands down one of my favorite BBQ spots! From the moment you walk in, you’re hit with that smoky, mouthwatering aroma that lets you know you’re in for something good. The meat is always tender and packed with flavor — whether it’s the ribs, pulled pork, or brisket, it’s all just so good. Their sauces? Next level. And don’t even get me started on the sides — the baked beans and mac & cheese are absolute musts! Make sure to have at least one of your meals here when you’re in Orlando — it’s a hidden gem that saves you from the crowded restaurants and overpriced tourist food around. Bubbalou’s is the real deal. I love it here, and I’ll definitely be back!

The food here is amazing here. I went and ate here before placing a catering order and I was not disappointed. The ribs, chicken and baked beans are so good! I got the party pack 3 that was supposed to feed 25-30 people. We were not disappointed with the food or the amount. There were plenty left overs for all who wanted. The boxes and pans that the food was placed in were neat and clean. I called around to other restaurants for catering orders. For the quantity and price Bubbalou’s was the best and most professional.

Wonderful service. Wonderful food. We came in with 10 people. Very accommodating. Isaiah was fantastic!

Last night, we decided to visit Bubbalou's on Corroy Road.. Also, I should state that I also cook a bit! Our experience started out great but quickly went down in flames! Upon arrival, our server quickly took our order, was cordial and clear. The good times stop here! I ordered chicken, ribs and sausage. The ribs were over done, flavorless, hard on the outside, deep grey inside and tasted like "burnt hair" smells! I realized that I would be unable to eat it and moved on. The sausage seemed to be the pre cooked variety however, it had this same burnt-hair undertone. I tried using extra sauce to offset the taste but, to NO avail! The chicken was cooked well but had NO flavor except for the same burnt-hair undertone. Now the little lady ordered Brunswick stew which,was served to her COLD! She had to ask that it be "heated up"! It has been some time since I've eaten at these restaurants but I NEVER recall them being like this!! I told myself that it was possibly an off night however, I feel this was kinda the norm for this location!

WOW. Just WOW!!! 🤯🔥 This place is an absolute BBQ DREAM. The food is AMAZING perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and straight-up addictive. Every bite was better than the last. The wait staff were beyond friendly welcoming, patient, and incredibly helpful with the menu. They made great recommendations and genuinely made us feel taken care of. From the first bite to the last, this was a top-tier experience. Incredible food, awesome vibes, and service that makes you want to come back again and again. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!! 🥩🔥👏

The Baseline: For a sit down chain BBQ restaurant the bbq meats must be quality/tasty, the sides need to be a good accompaniment to the meats, the smoke flavor must be present, drinks should be stiff, service should be efficient, and the restaurant should have character Food: The meat is the star of the show at Bubbalou's. Beef, Chicken, and of course Pork are the stars of the show here. Way back in 1999 I first came to this spot and loved their pork shoulder which is my testing point of good BBQ, because a pork shoulder shredded is a hard thing to mess up. It was awesome then and it is awesome now. This visit I was able to try the pork shoulder,chicken, brisket, and pork ribs which had a great smoke (the smoke rings were really solid) and the flavor of the meats were just the right amount of smoke. The sides are also great with the baked beans mixed in with delicious shreds of smoked pork, the greens were salted and cooked down, and the Cole slaw helped cut the fat from the meats. There are five main table sauces (listed sweet to heat: Sweet, Mustard, Mild, Hot, and Killer) but you can ask for the true hot sauces that are kept behind the counter (Hank's and Psycho which will bring the heat to your meal). Service: I had great service at the restaurant. You order at the counter and they bring out your food for table service. Staff will come out and ask if you need anything else and are attentive. They help make a great experience. Ambiance: You walk in and smell the smoke. The decor is that of a southern BBQ place and it does it all justice. Tables are clean and well serviced. The bathrooms were clean and well serviced. Good amount of parking and they have great merchandise. You will enjoy eating here.

It smells amazing walking in from the rain. That's a must with a bbq spot! Even before seeing the plates of the people inside I could smell the goodness. I used the ride to look through their online menu so I knew exactly what I wanted and thankfully it was still available. Corn nuggets and turkey dinner. My indecisive company had many questions and was overloaded by so many options. While he found many behind desk to show lots of patience for his questions it was difficult to understand his speech. After awhile he just said yes to whatever the guy said first. That ends up being gator nuggets, Mac n cheese bites, 3 pig platter with potato salad, coleslaw, green beans, baked beans, and thick bread. But I have a feeling that someone just messed up the order because the cost should have been much higher. Created a banquet in the room. Itis appeared 30 minutes later. He loved his food - I was throwed that my turkey dinner platter looked more like a turkey lunch setup. Thick cuts of sandwich style instead of a breast or wing. All still very well made. All the sides wonderfully made. Loved the bake beans the best. I'd definitely go back.

I hadn't been to Bubbalou's in a few years. I ordered the Brunswick stew and was not impressed. I have been a customer going back to the original location on Lee Road. When I arrived I was greeted and they offered to take my order as soon as I stepped through the door. Overall the service was excellent. I ordered the Brunswick stew (8.99) that came with two corn muffins. The stew was more of a soup and the small bowl had a beef broth base with grease on the top. It had a few potato chunks, corn, Lima beans and small bits of tomato. The stew had no flavor. It was devoid of seasonings. In order to give it some flavor I squirted some sweet bbq sauce into the bowl. The corn muffins were hot and very tasty but served with a dime sized pad of butter. Definitely request extra butter. The service is quick serve so after placing your order you take a seat in the dining room and my food was delivered pretty quickly. The restaurant has comfortable tables and can accommodate a large table. I was drawn in to eat at Bubbalou's by the wonderful scent coming from their BBQ kitchen. I know that every place has their own recipe for Brunswick stew however this did not meet my expectations.

We stopped by Bubbalou's for my usual order of Brisket. My son decided to try the Fried Catfish Dinner. I had ordered ahead for pick up. Upon our arrival, we were greeted shortly after entering. The restaurant was a bit busy. We were asked if we were being helped. I informed the staff member we haven't yet and that I was there to pick up an online order. Once we verified the name on the order, she immediately returned with the order packaged and ready to go. We verified the contents and departed on our way home. I enjoyed the Brisket as usual. The flavors and juiciness of the Brisket is what keeps me going back for more. The Fried Catfish Dinner was good. The catfish was cooked well. Everything else was as you would expect. Overall: A Will of course return in the future for my usual.

Not really impressed with this place. The pulled pork was quite bland and needed to be drenched in the sauce. The "garlic bread" was just bread, no garlic taste. The service was good, we were greeted and able to order promptly. The inside was clean and is a pretty big space.

A must try BBQ in the area. The pulled pork was so tender you did not need sauce. But their sweet bbq sauce goes great with it. The fries were good even for crinkle fries. The beans are an absolute must. I would've ordered two sides instead of their fries. The sweet tea has free refills so take advantage! We came for lunch and it was crowded but indoor seating was available.

Coming back to give an update review. This is my favorite spot for bbq, and I'm glad they are still around. You're always going to get some good country music, delightful staff, and good food. It's also nice to see the same faces when I come in so they must be doing something right. Ribs are some of the best in the city. The smoke ring is always there! The rub is excellent. I definitely recommend this establishment.

When we arrived they gave us menus to review. we ordered a half pound of four meats, pulled pork, pulled chicken, sausage and beef brisket. Then we orders a selection of sides. We placed our order at the counter and we found a table outside. When our selection was ready, they brought it over to us. Every group receives a number we placed on the table so they could find us. Try the killer barbecue sauce. It has a kick to it. They have five different types of barbecue sauce to choose from.m but my favorite has to be the killer. We had plenty of meat to go round. My favorite was the pulled pork. Sharing we had the opportunity to try a selection of meats and sides Whenever I get the urge for barbecue, they are at the top of my list.

I went with my friends on a Friday evening. It was not crowded at all when we arrived, and we ordered at the counter. I had the quarter chicken sandwich basket, which came with two sides and bread (about 13 dollars). After a couple minutes wait, our food was delivered to our table. The chicken was hot, tender, and juicy. The killer bbq sauce that I added gave the heat I needed. I had potato salad and coleslaw as my sides, and both were delicious. They cooled down the heat from the sauce, which made a perfect balance. The toasted bread was nice as well. I felt that the food was a small step above four rivers. The service was good, friendly, and helpful. While the ordering was counter service, the food was brought to you and they also offered to take it away when you were done. Drinks were brought to you as well. The atmosphere was very casual with only a few booths inside, and maybe some outside as well. I believe beer were the only alcoholic drinks offered. Country music was in the background, but I think they should have Ricky Ricardo singing their theme song! I did see a small elephant statue in the back, but it didn't look mountable. Parking was relatively easy in the complex, but it could be difficult to get out from the traffic light as it gets crowded often. Bubbalou makes a very good bbq. Sadly they lost some stores, but glad to see the Windermere branch is still there and offering great food. Since it's pretty close to my parents house, this would be my choice for great bbq in the Metrowest and Windermere area.

I haven't been to bubbalou's bbq in years and decided to try it for dinner the other night. The food is OK nothing to rave or write home about . I remembered now why I stopped going to this place. The food is kind of bland. The service is good. The cashier made some recommendations since I hadn't been there for a while and I was grateful for that. The ambience is nice. You were able to sit down and enjoy your food.

If you were looking for a sweet delicious southern barbecue in the Orlando area. This would be my number one recommendation. However, I do venture to say that the Conroy Kirkman location is by far the best one so if you're planning on having Bubbalous Bodacious Barbecue, I would head on down to this location! Their baby back ribs, corn on the cob, and all other fixins are delicious!

Best BBQ ribs in town! Super nice and friendly service! Highly recommend. Why do reviews need to be 85 characters?

The pig theme was pretty cool and the place smelled good. The people were very nice. But the food... I got catfish with cornbread and coleslaw. I am not kidding when I say that was the best catfish I ever had in my life. It was fresh, and juicy. The breading on it was perfect. I couldn't get enough of that catfish. It was so good, I went to the front counter and told the lady there to thank the cooks on my behalf. I NEVER do that. If you are in the area, go to Bubbalou's. You will not regret it.

I've been coming here for about 10 years now. It's always good! The sizes have gotten smaller but I think the food is always hot and exactly what you would want at a BBQ spot! Service is okay, ambiance is family friendly. Prices are decent. Lots of options! Love their sauces on the tables. High chairs available. Restrooms are a little sketch. Inside and outside seating available!

Whelp... the hardest thing about having eaten award winning BBQ is, always comparing it to everything else you try. First off, this places gives a hole-in-the-wall smokehouse with the decor & picnic tables, with indoor & patio seating. They were relatively steady with dine-in & take out. I liked the vibe. Ribs! The ribs are where it's at and I'd come back for them. Probably just the rib sandwich is the ticket. The staff was courteous & efficient. And willing to correct what they could and the manager was friendly, with great conversation about products. I'll include a photo but, keep in mind, I started tearing into the ribs. Here's the downside.... everything else! You'll not in the photo, the pork & beef were sliced as thin as tissue paper. The mac n cheese gave no thrills, collards weren't screamin' southern or soulful. What I ordered was the Bubbalou's special: ribs, chicken, pork, beef & 4 sides. 3 of the sides were about a 3 oz ramekin, one side was maybe 5 or 6 oz. I opted for this because, I prefer to try a little of everything. This plate was $21.99 and really it makes sense after having it. At some of the award winning places, a similar offering would be about $36. Because most spots will likely read this, I'll include my recommendation: get rid of the sliced roast beef, it's a pointless waste of money; it's not even bbq. The pork needs some help: bbq shouldn't be served thinner than sliced cheese. The collards really need work with some soul. An ideal plate would be: ribs, chicken, brisket, pork with 2 reasonable size sides, a slice of bread. If the cuts & flavors were on point, I'd be willing to pay in the $30 range.

With friendly service, and both inside and outside, temperature-controlled seating, and great food, this was where I did my BBQ. My mom even loved the T-Shirt I bought her from there. I always ordered the 4-meat platter because I have to share with my dog (he would call his lawyer if I didn't). Sadly, we went yesterday to find the platter was no longer offered. I can't understand that - I understand raising the price (it was ridiculously low for such a long time) but to remove it altogether makes no sense to me. So if the BBQ gods are reading this: PLEASE BRING BACK THE PLATTER!

First time here. Cashier and other employees were very friendly. The food was delicious. Will definitely come back again.

An amazing hidden gem in Orlando, close to the Universal Studios area. Great food andatmosphere,

BARF! I just tried Bubbalou's disgusting BBQ. I ordered the Baby Back Ribs dinner. The ribs where tough and really chewy. I had to saw through them with a knife. The beans are gross. They mix a ton of onions into the beans. The beans taste just like onions. The coleslaw is very chunky without flavor. French fries are just ok nothing special basic plain French fries. The bread was soft and delicious. They seen that I was disappointed with my meal and offered me a replacement, but they didn't have anymore ribs ready. SURPRISE!!! I asked for a customer favorite which was brisket. Horrible!!! All fat and grease. Taste just like raw flesh. They gave me a refund. I would not recommend this place.

The food is really good! The service was on point as well. Real pit bar b que! It's hard to find good barbque in central Florida. Look no further.

Great place for BBQ food, the person on the register, very nice and recommends good stuff. Not a place to come with not so much hunger, lol.... Great food! Nice ambience and good service, very clean place.

It was a Scamdemic! The last words I heard were "PUT ON A MASK", in a very nasty tone so I left without my take out order and have never returned. I'm glad I left, I've heard the food sucks and is bland. I wear a mask for no one!

I was hungry, so I was willing to eat anything. Wouldn't have been my first choice, but food selection is scarce around this Disney property in particular. So I guess I had the chance to try alligator again, and I still couldn't tell the difference. Had tasted more like a gizzard. I miss my potato salad that they use to serve at L2s Texas BBQ over in Las Vegas, there is nothing else that compares. The potato salad at this location wasn't bad nor great. It was a bit tart, so ultimately couldn't get past it. I don't think that there is any place that can serve me up some proper fried pickles. There is always something wrong with them. With these, they were so sour I barely could finish. Overall would not be returning to this location if ever finding myself back in Orlando. All stars deducted.

Bubbalou can be very hit or miss - unfortunately, my latest visit was a miss. On this visit, I found that the sides lacked flavor and had gotten significantly smaller - for the same price. Both the macaroni & cheese and the green beans tasted like something that had been pre-made, heated, then served. I was pretty disappointed compared to the great food that was there before. The pulled pork was good, but very salty, who knows if it was that batch, but luckily the sauce hid the salt, but it was still a lot. Since this was an odd visit, I'll probably give them one more time to see if things go back to normal.

I came here on a Monday afternoon for some lunch and it did not disappoint! They have counter service and the people behind it were helpful and prompt! The BBQ had great flavor and the meat fell right off the bone for the ribs. There's a variety of sauces you can try. They all have great flavor, as a lover of spicy things-- the Killer was my favorite. Also a whole rib dinner with 4 sides for 19.99? That's an amazing deal, they have my continued business!

In the drive thru I ordered an any two meat combo (ribs and chicken) I confirmed the order was accurate. Even while being rushed waited for quite awhile, once I got home I realized the plates were not what I ordered and was charged the same price for less.

A wonderful barbeque restaurant just minutes from the Millenial Mall. Bubbalou's Bodacious BBQ was founded in 1986 in Winter Park, Florida, by the Meiner family. It currently has 2 locations; Altamonte Springs and Orlando. My brother recommended trying the Orlando location recently. This restaurant is known for its authentic Southern BBQ and laid-back atmosphere. The seating is long wooden picnic tables inside, a few tables outside. As soon as you enter, you are greeted by the smoky aroma of barbecue, instantly whetting your appetite. The staff was friendly and quick to assist, making the ordering process smooth and efficient. You order at the counter where you pay and get your drinks. I opted for the pulled pork platter with french fries and cornbread as sides and a tea as the drink. The pork was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It was served on a soft toasted hoagie-roll type break. Sauces were on the table. The french fries and the iced tea were very good. There are free tea refills and one of the staff stopped by twice to ask if we needed them. The portions were generous, and the prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food provided. The staff kept the tables bussed, the garbage emptied and the floor clean while I was there. My meal with sandwich, 2 sides and a drink was about $15. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience that I would recommend for people wanting good barbeque in a relaxed and friendly environment at a good price. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Such a good staple bbq in Orlando! Been around for years and I appreciate it every time! Got the pulled pork and brisket!

Absolutely delicious DEVOURED it all. The ribs were so delicious and the beans 10/10. Would definitely come back

First I want to say that some of the poor reviews you might read are NOT for this location, which sadly is the last remaining Bubbalou's in Orlando. This restaurant does not have drive-thru service. This restaurant is now owned by a gent who worked here and then purchased it from the previous owner. The changes have been remarkable. It is very clean, the service is very good, and it is very busy!!! My wife and I dined here again last night, and everything was perfect. We got there about 8:15--just 45 minutes prior to closing--and still everything was exceptional. As usual, she had the rib dinner, I had the brisket basket. Last night the brisket was the best I've ever eaten anyplace, anytime. It's usually good here, but on occasion the fat hasn't been trimmed well. Last night was incredible. We eat at a BBQ restaurant in Plant City, and it's pretty good. But not this good. If you like BBQ, you'll love Bubbalou's!!! BTW if you spend the time you'll find multiple reviews by me for this restaurant. Several years ago, under previous management, it was not good. I'm so glad this restaurant has this new owner!!!

DELICIOUS place with amazing food and bbq! The price is a bit hefty for what it is to be honest- but besides that it's delicious, not worth THAT much though. The atmosphere is great and it remains clean so great on that. Service is good people come and check on you and it's a nice feel.

Go here everytime we visit orlando. Food is tops. Staff very friendly. We love it. From the McMahon family Ireland

Food is always delicious, the brisket is so yummy as well as the ribs. Pretty good sweet tea in the giant cups. Lots of bbq sauce to choose from. Good ambience for a bbq restaurant. Love this place! Also the fried pickles are one of the best around here, although a bit expensive but it is bbq so is to be expected

First, the service is outstanding, friendly and responsive. However, the food left something to be desired. The pulled pork was very bland and the sauces did not make up for it. The baked beans were tasty with the greens lack something. The coleslaw was just fine. Overall, my experience was very disappointing, especially considering the other reviews.

St Louis style spare rib platter. Smoked to perfection. Side of collard greens, Cole slaw and baked beans. Hot Damn!!! That was awesome! Washed it down with Dr. Pepper. Service staff was polite and friendly. Dining area was clean and tidy.

In my opinion, Bubbalou's is a national treasure. We take everyone that visits us here to eat and they all love it! My personal favorite is the sausage basket. I'm going to have to branch out a little and eat ribs next time. I know that they are very good but have a strong desire for that sausage basket. I promise to try to order ribs next visit.

sandwiches good, sides (baked beans, coleslaw and cucumber salad) not so much. Sides all got thrown away

Came here the other day for dinner with my in-laws for Father's Day. Father in law is a huge barbeque fan and he wanted to go somewhere that had good reviews so we ended up here. Upon walking in the front door, we walked up to the cashier who took our orders. Each of us ordered the rib dinner which came with a side of beans, coleslaw, fries and garlic bread. We also ordered corn nuggets and Mac and cheese bites as well for an appetizer. The cashier got our drink orders wrong. We asked for 1 sweet tea and 1 coke, but instead got unsweetened tea. When we told him this, he argued back and said" I heard 3 unsweetened tea" We looked at him confused because if we "ordered 3 unsweetened tea " then why we only got 2 drinks? If that was the case , we should have 3 beverages ... NOT 2. He just came across as argumentative. I didn't like that. Anyways, the rest of our orders came out and I was expecting more based on the 4 star rating of this BBQ joint. The corn nuggets were good.. texture was very cheesy...just the way I like it. Fries and garlic bread were just meh. Coleslaw was just okay. Ribs were huge but kind of dry but it did have a nice flavor. The beans were delicious however, which I thought was the best thing on the menu. The kitchen staff were very friendly. As they brought out food for the other diners, they made sure to check up on us to see if we needed any refills on our "sweet tea". The cashier made his way around as well.. but by this time, I was already over it. For me, the experience was just average and the food was okay. I've had better BBQ at other joints. I still haven't found the best BBQ yet in Orlando.I was hoping that Bubbalous would win me over but it didn't. I don't think I'd come back here and it's a shame because I really wanted to like this place.

The food is ok the best thing their to me is there Brisket , I don't eat pork so can't judge the ribs they need to add beef ribs as well the chicken is to dry no flavor and the sides are to small fir the price and there not that good but it's the only spot close so I go but overall it's a 3 out 5 just ok.

My mother and I were craving BBQ for dinner, so we decided to come in to eat at an old favorite we hadn't had in quite some time: Bubbalou's. The ambiance is super casual, country, and comfortable, and the service is friendly and helpful. It took a while to get our food, but it was worth the wait. We shared the pulled pork dinner, which comes with garlic bread, coleslaw, fries, and baked beans, as well as ordered a side of collard greens with cornbread. Everything arrived hot and was flavorful and delicious. Just what we wanted! It was the perfect amount to share. We always love mixing the bbq sauces: sweet, mild, hot, and killer. There is also mustard, ketchup, and hot sauce on the table. So glad we made it in this evening! Thank you for serving us.

Found this bbq spot on Yelp while traveling for work and decided to stop and try it. I had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and coleslaw. The ambiance was just right. Super clean restaurant. The food was EXCELLENT, so was the service. Good ole fashion BBQ done right! Thanks for having me guys, will be back! Highly recommend.

An Orlando staple, with pretty decent BBQ. Rustic decor, fast causal service, indoor and outdoor seating at picnic tables. My hubby had the chicken and ribs combo, it tasted great. I went for the Texas brisket. It tasted good. Dinner comes with four sides - garlic bread, fries, beans and coleslaw. We will be back

My whole family liked the food except my mother. She thought the meat was too greasy and didn't like the sauces. However everyone else in the family liked it. The service was friendly and quick. And the restaurant looked pretty nice like a small bbq joint.

What a great place. The sausage was so well done. I loved the mashed potatoes and Mac and Cheese. The sides portions were kind of small though. Super friendly staff.

The best ribs I've had in years!!! This place is a true gem. The staff is so friendly and go out of their way to make the experience a good one. Everything came out promptly and tasted delicious. I will be recommending this place to everyone I know and taking family there when they visit.

Took 6 folks to Bubba's last night. It was great as always. Got the 3 way ribs, pulled pork and sliced pork, corn muffins, slaw and Beans with two large slices of garlic bread. $21 Food was hot, fresh, excellent, great service, friendly, lots of parking, clean. I mixed a few sauces and dove in. The pulled pork was divine. The sliced pork was great and the two large ribs (Flintstone style) were awesome. Love their cole slaw and beans. Been coming here for 20 years and still great. Will return often. Thanx!

Food is made to order. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed. There is seating outside. The service is good and they are helpful when ordering.

Had to take away a star from my last review. BBQ is still the best thing on the menu. Can't go wrong with pork, brisket, or ribs. Expensive wings were very fatty and "hot" isn't hot at all. It is a mild buffalo at best. They were large in size with mostly skin and fat. Pickle chips were so salty, they were inedible. Fries were undercooked. Maybe just an off night.

It has been years since I have visited a Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que and even longer since I have been to this particular location. My go-to Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que location was always the one on Alafaya Trail on the east side of Orlando, but that location had closed years ago (coincidentally, I drove by it the other day and it had a fresh paint of white paint, so I guess something new will be opening there). My son and I were on this side of town and it was lunch time, so we saw this and it was an obvious choice for both of us. This Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que location is in a strip mall. It does have a great vibe and despite there being a line, we were at the counter in a relatively short amount of time and after placing our orders and taking a seat, our food was brought to us in again, a relatively speedy amount of time. My son ordered a chicken gizzard sandwich with french fries and extra garlic bread and I had a lamb sandwich with baked beans and Brunswick stew. When our food got to us, it appeared that my son made the better choice. I tried one of the gizzards and they were exceptional. My lamb was good, however, it was a bit skimpy and I have had better lamb. Still, not a bad sandwich. The pulled pork was great at Bubbalou's (and my son assures me that it is still great). I always loved their chicken dinner, as well. For their barbecue sauces, they have several. Since I like spicy, my go-to is their Killer sauce. It is really good. They also have mild barbecue sauce, sweet barbecue sauce, mustard barbecue sauce and hot barbecue sauce (not as hot as their Killer barbecue sauce). My son and I will be back on that side of town again in a few weeks and we have already said we will be going here again. Next time I will be having the gizzards. I was hoping that they would have it as an appetizer, but it looks like you can only get it as a sandwich or as a sandwich basket. Oh well. Maybe we can get a sandwich to split and toss the bun and make it as an appetizer. That way, I can get the pulled pork or their chicken. Anyway, I would definitely recommend here and as I write (or type) this, I lament the lost time that I had not been here. I will give it five stars () and again, I definitely recommend a visit here. I look forward to my next trip to this Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar-B-Que. Next time you ate in the mood for barbecue, check this place it out. I daresay that this is one of, if not the best barbecue place here in Orlando.
