Best for
Sauce enthusiasts seeking smoked chicken and wings late on weekends.

Core details are sourced from this business's Google Business Profile (checked 2026-08-26).

What do customers say?

Kenny's draws fans for ribs that sometimes hit perfectly tender and smoky, pulled pork sandwiches praised as excellent, and staff who recognize regulars and move orders quickly. Recent visits paint a troubling picture: burnt or dry ribs served with minimal meat, bread forgotten, fries disputed, and prices ($14-20 per plate) that feel steep given inconsistent execution. A Texan reviewer placed their BBQ above a Texas Monthly top-ten contender, yet multiple guests from the past year report the same plate-throwing disappointment. The operation runs three smokers and stays open late weekends, but quality swings sharply enough that loyal customers now hesitate to return.

The food truck format operates in a fenced lot near Fairvilla Road. Smoked chicken and wings draw separate praise. Sauce variety (honey mustard, spicy mustard-based, standard BBQ) is a genuine strength. The core tension: when ribs are done right, reviewers rave; when they're not, the experience feels like a waste.

Praised for
  • fall-off-the-bone ribs
  • smoked chicken quality
  • friendly staff who remember orders

Most visits deliver satisfying food at reasonable prices with staff who go out of their way to help. Jerkman's strongest asset is its people: named staff like Neecy and TT create a welcoming atmosphere and get orders right. That said, some customers hit delays and mix-ups; checking your order before leaving is worth the habit.

Food quality keeps diners returning: meat is tender and well-cooked over charcoal, portions fill you up, and side dishes arrive fresh. Yet service is a landmine. Staff range from genuinely friendly (Leo earns specific praise) to dismissive and impatient. Multiple guests report being made to feel like burdens, questioned on large tips despite minimal service, and left waiting even in a quiet restaurant. The core product is solid; customer experience depends entirely on who serves you. Recent months show a cluster of service complaints and a few exceptional praise reviews. The split suggests either inconsistent training, high turnover, or particular staff members driving guest frustration. Charcoal grilling is noted as their edge over other Orlando Korean BBQ restaurants.
