    Amazing experience, environment and eats. We had the pulled pork salad, the queso with flavor bomb #1, and the mozzarella tomato salad. We sat upstairs and researched the French pasta posters while we ate. Everything was delicious and we enjoyed everything about our visit.

    2/24/2024 Really it's my favorite place in the area. If there was a place to be highlighted on some foodie show for the Orlando area, this is it. 11/29/2022 Always love Yellow Dog. They had trivia going, the staff was friendly as always, and had my favorite pork nachos. I'll be back. Original Post Food is good, I love the vibe, live music was pleasant and not overwhelming. Been twice, will be back again for sure. I had the pulled pork nachos, the pork is delicious and the sauce is tasty... But if you are expecting a traditional BBQ sauce you are in the wrong place.

    Fantastic backyard atmosphere. Tin roof and open sides, which are able to be closed by curtains and plastic panels, make this a comfortable place to relax and enjoy backyard BBQ. The BBQ pork was moist and flavorful. We had pork nachos (huge!) and the Florida Cracker pork sandwich. It's 100% self serve, except for table clearing. The staff all had smiles, which could be seen because nobody had a mask on. That's the ONLY reason it didn't get 5* We'll be back again, and again.

    Great place for a light meal. Their specialty certainly is pulled pork. As I was walking in from the back parking lot I can see their beautiful smoker. Although it's located in a old house. They do have air conditioning inside and a beautiful garden patio on the back. You have to order up front and get a beeper to come collect your food after it is prepared.

    My friends.. if you haven’t been to this place, what are you waiting for?! Make sure to bump this one to the top of your list! The food is delish! We’ve been coming to this spot for years and they do disappoint 🤩 my favorite are the Nachos, which are totally shareable! Pro tip: there is plenty of parking across the street and behind the building.

    Can’t remember the last time I walked out of a restaurant so disappointed. I was in the area doing some photography when I spotted what I thought might be a fun place to grab lunch. The front entrance was blocked with two barricades yet there was an “Open Sign”, I never figured out the purpose of that. Found a girl at a To-Go window and asked about inside dinning, she instructed me to walk behind the restaurant and enter thru the back, not a problem. Once inside I took several photos, then checked out a menu and made my decision, I proceeded to the area to place my order where I stood there as several employees talked amongst themselves, maybe a meeting, but at minimal, acknowledge people in line. After some time without as much as any attempt to serve us, we walked out. 100% disappointed

    What a delicious restaurant! Every menu item is so fresh. The environment is great too. It caters to everyone! Great for families or just people who want to sit at a bar. I got the yellow dog club and saw that it had cucumbers on it. I thought that would be weird on a sandwich, but let me tell you, it complimented the sandwich so well. I can’t wait to try more menu items in the future.

    This small town BBQ spot has charm. I was ordering food Togo but will gladly dine-in next time I'm around. The servers were all so nice. Their food has its own signature flavoring. You won't regret stopping by or going out of your way to visit. They just had a batch of different brownies come in. They were amazing, very moist and delicious!

    Passed by for three straight years and finally decided to stop in (09/2022). Ordered the roast beef and a pulled pork tacos and they were to die for. Fast service, clean stop and and three watering holes available at peak times I’m guessing. Sorry it took me so long. Now that I know. It’s on my monthly rotation.

    Quick swing through for lunch and we definitely weren’t disappointed! The food is always amazing regardless of what you order. Very laid back relaxed atmosphere and fast service. If you’re in the area or even if it’s out of the way, this place is definitely worth the trip.

    Very awesome place. Delicious food and there is a separate vegetarian section of the menu! I got the sweet potato tacos, pretty spicy but so delicious. :))

    I have been hearing about this place for way too long and when I finally went, it did not disappoint! They have tons of amazing and unique takes on BBQ along with all the classics and a great selection of beers. The atmosphere is exactly as you’d imagine with the small-town BBQ vibes. They have options for outdoor seating, indoor on the second floor and, if you are on the go or the place is packed, you can go to their to-go window. I went with the ‘What the Fig?’. I can’t resist goat cheese and fig and the two combined are on another level. Pro Tip: Don’t sleep on the tomato, mozzarella, pesto with balsamic vinaigrette. It's not on the menu but is one of their most popular items and is amazing!

    I can’t scream loud enough how amazing this place is! The vibe is so cool and down to earth. Fun interior and exterior for your Instagram moments. I come for the pulled pork nachos. They are hands down THE best plate of nachos in Central Florida. Add an iced cold Lost Coast Tangerine and I’m in heaven every time I visit. Hit there in the 3-5pm range to get a good seat at the bar, take out window is pretty handy too when your in a rush or the place is packed. Run…don’t walk…get yourself to YDE ( bring your furry friends too)

    "BBQ Yellow Dog Eats is an absolute gem in the world of barbecue joints! From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the irresistible aroma of smoked meats and the charming ambiance. The menu is a carnivore's dream come true, offering a mouthwatering selection of tender ribs, succulent pulled pork, and flavorful brisket, all cooked to perfection. The sides are equally impressive, with classics like mac and cheese and baked beans stealing the show. But what truly sets BBQ Yellow Dog Eats apart is its commitment to quality and creativity. Each dish is crafted with care, showcasing unique flavor combinations that will leave your taste buds begging for more. Whether you're a barbecue aficionado or just looking for a delicious meal, BBQ Yellow Dog Eats is an experience you won't soon forget!"

    Yellow Dog Eats has become our go-to spot in Orlando, all thanks to their unparalleled pulled pork. The distinct flavor keeps us hooked, and their creative dishes featuring pulled pork only add to the experience. The ribs are also a standout. Despite a bustling Sunday with a long line due to the church crowd, the efficient service ensured we got our food surprisingly fast.

    First time and I liked. The place was a family house that they made a restaurant and bar. It’s in a pretty residential area. The enchiladas are good and so the draft beer. And they have a friendly staff what is always important!

  • 5/5 Eastside Kitchen & B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place to grab a beer and some delicious food. Super friendly staff, awesome environment and very thoughtful dishes. As a foodie in Orlando I would recommend you don’t pass by this one. Get in there and enjoy!

  • 5/5 Ashley P. 2 years ago on Google
    OMG!! This place is absolutely AMAZING!! A MUST GO! We heard about this from a friend on Instagram… and I put it on my list of places to go. We drove 40 mins to get here and it was so worth it. The food was so tasty! The beer on draft was yummy! The ambiance was adorable outside! We love the cute red van.. it kept our kids occupied 😆 The manager went above and beyond and brought us free chips, salsa and cheese when he heard it was our first time here! ❤️👏🏻

    This was a cool place. The food was good. Ihad the barbecue sandwich, salad, and hummus. They had a great beer selection. The patio had a hippie feel. Decor was nice. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this place.UPDATE: we went again and ordered a salmon salad and 3 sandwiches. All were very good.

    Cozy, eclectic spot! Food was awesome, picky-nephews approved. They have both outdoor and indoor dining, with an upstairs section. Desserts were also delicious, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a good visit. Also, dog friendly!

    Great place to meet up with friends! Amazing pulled pork. The pickle slices on my sandwich were delicious. Friends enjoyed a nice beer selection.

    First time visiting YDE, such a cute little bar where it’s everyone is dog-obsessed. ♥️ Took our little pup Moose and he was greeted by all of the incoming guests and staff, which made him oh so happy. The staff was super personable, the food was awesome (I wish I had a second stomach to eat more of their pulled pork (my favorite) and the drinks were really good too. The GM Bobby is awesome and he even got a photo of Moose onto the Paws of Fame wall 🙌🏼🐾 Hope to be back soon!

    I remember coming here as a kid on the way to Disney and having some great BBQ. I drove back down for another vacation and this place was on my mind. I'm so glad my girlfriend and I made the stop because boy did they deliver. The food was even better than I remember. I got some Pulled Pork Nachos and my girlfriend got the What The Fig sandwich on a gluten free bun. The pork in both dishes just melts in your mouth. The nachos we're saucy and cheesy and the gluten free bun on the sandwich was one of the best I've tried(yeah I stole a bite of her sandwich). Portions were piled as high as the flavor too. You get great value for your money and good vibes from the atmosphere and staff. I can't recommend Yellow Dog Eats highly enough.

  • 5/5 Jill W. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious! I highly recommend the nachos and sandwiches. Big portions with lots of meat. Great seasoning and sauces. Customer service was excellent. Was recommended to come here by a friend. I fully endorse it and will be back.

  • 5/5 Alexander C. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice place! Great atmosphere with a nice setting for lunch, dinner or just a beer and the food is great. I had the “Florida cracker” A sandwich piled high which is to big for your mouth and my buddy had the “ club Elvis” for the second time.. I’ll be back for sure.

  • 5/5 Will S. 10 months ago on Google
    Had the awesome pile of nachos with a side of tomatoes and mozzarella balls. This was pretty darn amazing stuff. They also take pictures of your doggy and put them in their hall of fame.

  • 5/5 Liz D. 11 months ago on Google
    Amazing and fun atmosphere! The food is out of this world! We were visiting Mt Dora for the weekend and found this place off the beaten path on our way home to Bradenton! We are incredibly happy we stopped by! Best food of our weekend away! Thank you!

  • 5/5 M R. 1 year ago on Google
    Our favorite sandwich place in town. Love the dog themed decor, be sure to spend time looking at all of the photos of pooches, artwork, and so much else. The menu has excellent sandwich, wrap and salad options. Also, try the potato salad and coleslaw sides. They also have a bar with local beers and other libations. Just a fun place to have a meal.

  • 5/5 Chris L. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a fun experience eating here. Sometimes we like to sit outside at the patio or upstairs for more private dining. You can bring your pet dog on the patio! They have a amazing selection of local beers and have vegetarian and vegan options! The bakery is really good as well. I got the pulled pork sandwich which was amazing! It came with chips. I also go the mint Oreo brownie for dessert which was so delicious! I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!
