Our Local Experts say:

Barbeque (aka BBQ or Bar-B-Q) is a popular cuisine here in the southern parts of the United States. Even though some other states are more known for their BBQ, Florida, specifically Orlando, offers some incredible BBQ restaurant options.

Traditionally, Barbequing is a slow cooking process where different meats are cooked at lower temperatures and "char-grilled" using the heat or smoke from a charcoal or wood fire. This cooking method results in extremely tender meats that literally fall off the bone, and make for some insanely good meals. Barbeque also is known for its unique sauces that are often housemade and add explosions of flavors to the barbequed meats.

Another great aspect of Barbeque cuisine are the side dishes that one can expect with any barbequed main course. Many local restuarants here in Orlando will cook up incredible dishes to go along side their famous meats, and we'd be liars if we said these sides can be as good as the meats themselves! You can expect to find popular side dishes like mac n' cheese, collard greens, green beans, mashed or baked potatoes, baked beans, corn on the cob, cornbread, and of course, each restaurant will have their own twist on things!
