Uncle Tony's Backyard Barbecue — Restaurant in Pine Castle

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...

What a lucky girl I am to have found this barbecue goldmine. This is hands down the BEST barbecue in all of Orlando dare I say in the US.

I cannot describe how great our experience was at Uncle Tonys was. The location is small and a little hidden in a strip shopping center but so clean and well kept. The owners wife was head register and greeted us warmly ( I instantly got a great feeling from just her vibe alone). She recommended a few items and we ordered them all.

We got a rib dinner with mac and cheese and coleslaw. We ordered a platter with chopped brisket, ribs, potato salad and baked beans.. both meals came with choice of bread and we opted for the texas toast.

The ribs are juicy.. thick and great portion.. amazing The brisket was by far my favorite.. heavenly so much flavor The sides were equally delicious . The best mac and cheese and coleslaw ever. Perfect baked beans and homey potato salad! We all devoured the buttery texas toast as well.

I loved the sweet tea and pulled pork sandwich as well.

Pricing wise I find them extremely fair. Barbecue can get pricey but for what you get here it is well worth it.. other places like 4 rivers has gotten extremely salty and pricey with their expansion.

This is the type of business I love to support.. I saw how hard working, genuine and kind the owners wife was.. She shared how much it has taken them to get here and I just know they will expand even more with the love they put into their business.

Don't hesitate to come here! It is the BEST! Do not hesitate and stop by! They cater and I plan on ordering from them for...

Uncle Tony’s Backyard Barbecue 📍Location: Orange Avenue 📅 Visit Date: Saturday, June 7th

This past Saturday, I was in the mood to switch things up from my usual go-to spots. I hopped on TikTok in search of something new and local and that’s when I came across Uncle Tony’s Backyard Barbecue, located conveniently off Orange Avenue. It looked promising, so I decided to give it a try.

Upon arrival, I snapped a few photos of the outside and the menu (see below). I went with the baby back ribs, which came with potato salad and macaroni and cheese as my sides.

Here’s how everything stacked up: • Baby Back Ribs: These were the highlight of the meal flavorful, tender, and well-seasoned. Definitely the star of the plate. 5/5 • Potato Salad: Unfortunately, this side didn’t quite hit the mark for me. It wasn’t as chilled as I prefer, and the flavor leaned heavily toward sweet relish. If you like your potato salad cold and more balanced, this may not be it. 3/5 • Macaroni & Cheese: The flavor was there, but it could’ve used a bit more oven time for that perfect baked finish. Still tasty, just a little underbaked for my liking. 4/5

Overall Thoughts:

Uncle Tony’s has great potential, especially if you’re craving some solid barbecue. The ribs alone are worth the visit! As for a return trip? Possibly especially to explore more menu items and give them...
