Best ribs in town.
 
Hey guys my lady and I had the best ribs today since we got to TV. New place in Wildwood on 301 by the north flyover.T Westons Smokehouse. Great food, we had ribs and tri-tip roast, service was great and food was fast, real smoke taste.Tried the wings too-so good. The best part was that the place was sparkling clean. I flagged the owner down to compliment him on how clean the john was. Not something we see often. We're going back for the prime rib soon.
Way better than the other "new" BBQ"S IMHO.

Really? I went to Weston's about a month ago and my dinner was miserable, almost inedible.

Oakwood last night---full slab baby backs fell off the bone and right into my mouth and only 12.95! We are always up for a new rib place but haven't found one that beats Oakwood.

I would vote Oakwood and Westons as the best in the area for BBQ. Cleanliness, speed, food quality, taste, and attention to clients at the top. That's only my opinion!

I agree. It's really good. I especially like the sides namely the sweet corn, the twice baked potato casserole and green beans. Yum.:mmmm:

We go to Texas, Burkes and Oakwood and feel each is somewhat unique and and like the variety+

I agree! I heard they were getting ready to fold. We had a pulled pork sandwich there a week ago that was horrible. Soggy bread and so much fat, it was gross.

If you get over toward Umatilla or Eustis, try Umatilla Inn restaurant and bar on 19, just past the 450 turn. He smokes his own ribs and has a full rack for $13.99 or 1/2 rack for $8.99. I think they are better than Texas Stockyards and was told they're better than Oakwood, which I haven't tried!

I'm with you there Jim!

The best of all is SugarBoo's in Mt. Dora. Google it, they have a web site. If you eat their ribs you'll be spoiled for anywhere else

We personally don't care for "dry rubs" which is what we encountered at Westons. So, we have a tendency to stay with Oakwood or Woody's. We did try a place in Eustis which is north of town on rte 19...looked like a biker bar, but the ribs were good.

Did you know Woody's is closed? We're going to miss them.

We went back to Burke's BBQ last night - Again, another great meal. I love ribs of any kind - but I do love the dry rub, true smoke of these real ribs. Went for different sides - sweet potato casserole (major yum) and cole slaw - delicious. They had biscuits or texas toast last night - biscuit was great, really love their corn bread.
Had a chance to talk with the owner and he said business has been picking up - so thanks to all of you who frequent this home-grown business. If we want variety, we have to support these local business owners or we'll have to settle for the chains on 466.
This is an oober clean restaurant.. Restrooms were sparkling too. If you are not a rib fan, their smoked chicken is fabulous too. Haven't had their pulled pork, but it looked fabulous. Let's keep these places busy and successful.

That is prob DAM SMOKER BBQ ..... good Q!

A little further north on 19 past Umatilla you will find Old Crow BBQ. Been there forever and very good Q! But be aware that they are only open Wednesday - Saturday.


Sugar Boo in Mt Dora is very good.
