Restaurant Review: Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ – Orlando FL

It all starts with Bubbalou’s mouth-watering Bar-B-Que, from the world famous baby back ribs to the tantalizing smoked chicken. You won’t find better Bar-B-Que anywhere in Orlando, and that’s why Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ has been recognized by USA Today, Southern Living, The New York Times and The Food Network.
Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ has a long history of cooking up great, award-winning Southern-Style Bar-B-Que in Orlando. Our Secret is to do it the traditional old-fashioned way – use quality meats cooked low and slow over a hard wood-fire and then hand rubbed with our secret recipe seasons and lightly topped with a mouthwatering, award-winning bar-b-que sauce.

You will be welcomed like family and then we make every effort to ensure you enjoy your meal and your experience at one of Orlando’s most unique restaurants. Weather you eat in one of our five Central Florida BBQ restaurants, get it to go or have your meal catered, there’s something for everyone at Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ. You can pick from a variety of items which have been slow cooked over a hard wood fire, including our famous Baby Back Ribs, Chicken, Beef, Pork, and other tasty choices. You simply cannot go wrong.
Award Winning Orlando BBQ
While we all know that Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ is the best in Central Florida and the most hospitable and delicious BBQ catering company in Orlando, you don’t have to take our word for it. Awards abound and some of the most well known national publications have featured Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ. To begin with, Zagat’s Restaurant Surveys named Bubbalou’s as one of America’s Best Cheap Eats. Then, periodicals such as Southern Living, USA Today, the New York Times, Fortune Magazine and Delta Sky Magazine have recognized Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ as one of America’s Favorite BBQ Restaurants. Even CNN and The Food Network have picked Bubbalou’s as Central Florida’s #1 BBQ and catering company. Naturally, local publications such as the Orlando Sentinel, Orlando Magazine and Orlando Weekly have also come to the conclusion that there is no match for Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ.
While each Bubbalou’s location has it’s own menu, the Bubbalou’s commitment to the finest quality ingredients and preparations remains the same. Come try us today to see why Bubbalou’s Bodacious BBQ has been Orlando’s favorite since 1986.

The ribs fall off the bone, the brisket melts in your mouth! This place rocks! However, it’s not a romantic place for dinner lol! It’s an empty industrial feel with picnic tables! Great for the family however and inexpensive!
If your girl doesn’t care about the ambience and just appreciates good food go for it! But; definitely not on a first date unless she’s a serious redneck that drives a 4×4 plays in the mud (and not just with the truck) haha!
Restaurant Review: Royal Thai – Orlando FL
Royal Thai the best Thai food in FL!
Royal is ran by Muay Thai royalty! The owner is a Muay Thai Champion from Thailand! There are pictures, belts and trophies in the restaurant. However, he won’t train anymore.
Thai cuisine is known for its balance of four fundamental flavors in each dish or the overall meal – hot (spicy, sour, sweet, and salty). Although populary considered as a single cuisine, Thai food is really better described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country: Northern, Northeaster (or Isan), Central, and Southern. Southern curries, for example, tend to contain coconut milk and fresh turmeric, while northeastern dishes often include lime juice.

I love the Tom Kha Gai, Pad Ped, drunken noodles and many other things!
If you are in the area this place rocks!!
Great for a date! The prices are a little expensive for Orlando and most food is dirt cheap! But coming from NJ/NY they are reasonably cheap for the quality!
Restaurant Review: Sweet Tomatoes – Orlando FL
I wish to God there was a Sweet Tomatoes in NJ! **Pay attention corporate!!**
In a land where fitness and healthy eating thrives (NJ) this place would rock!
Soup, salad, some (Elios frozen like pizza) and good desserts!
If you want a healthy cheap meal! Head to sweet tomatoes! Make a healthy veggie salad (with meat aka protein! of course for us fitness freaks 😉) and stay away from the dessert and pizza lol
There’s also a full nutrition guide online! To help you log your meals and track your caloric intake! (Remember to check the livestrong my plate article here)
This is a great place to go!
They even serve breakfast on Sunday!!
Join us every Sunday from 9 to noon for our Sunday morning menu! Featuring scrambled eggs, waffles, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal, potatoes o’brien, freshly baked cinnamon chip biscuits, muffins, make-your-own breakfast burritos, and more! All this in addition to our expansive salad and soup bars.
Hope to see you soon!

Is that not a crazy menu???
My favorites are as follows:
Buffalo Frog Legs!!
They are absolutely amazing! Take Buffalo Chicken Wings and mix fish with Chicken and you get the amazing taste of frog legs! They fall apart in your mouth and off the bone! Pure white little bones it’s cool!
Buffalo Gator Tail!!
A little tough, but nothing you have ever tasted! A little gamey, but the buffalo sauce cuts it a little and makes it enjoyable!
Crab Cakes!!
Homemade jumbo lump crab cakes and one of the best seafood restaurants!
Crab Stuffed Filet – Stuffed Flounder! With that amazing crab meat again!! The whole thing just crumbles in your mouth! The stuffing is loaded with lump crab meat had not overly stuffed with breadcrumbs, they find a happy medium!
And saving the best for last: blue crab dip! OMG!! Just get it! (Unless you are allergic)
If you love seafood and you are near Orlando, you must go!!
