What recent reviews 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

Jerkman delivers bold jerk chicken and ribs that keep customers driving from Winter Haven and Port St Lucie. Food quality earns praise across nearly every visit, but delivery times are unreliable and customer service falters when problems arise.

GG KOREAN BBQ

4.4(345)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Meat quality and charcoal grilling draw loyal fans who rank GG among Orlando's best Korean BBQ. The all-you-can-eat format delivers fresh cuts, vibrant sides, and generous plates; when servers like Leo engage, the experience shines. But a cluster of recent reviews flags dismissive, impatient staff who ignore tables, demand steep tips, and seem resentful. Food alone can't overcome being made to feel unwelcome. Private dining and à la carte options exist alongside the buffet, yet service consistency remains the core issue. New diners should ask for table-side attentiveness upfront; loyal regulars who've had Leo or similar attentive staff keep returning, while others swear off the place after one bad encounter.
