Moved back to Orlando recently. Went to YDE today, for the first time in years. Love the gold BBQ sauce and had some amazing sweet potato tacos! I am plant based and was so thrilled to have such a delicious meal. Mom loved the ribs, fell right of the bone, so delish!!

Been here a few times, enjoy the food here, never disappoints. Service is quick, lunch is always slower, get your food super quick. If you come for dinner, the line most likely will be outside. Rule of thumb: if the place is always busy, they re doing something right. See ya soon YDE.

The atmosphere is really cool. Big outdoor eating area. My children loved playing in the old VW van. I had the Blue Suede Shoes sandwich. The pork was really good with the blue cheese. The music was a little loud which made it not great to have a conversation. We had a fun time.

Amazing food. Our server Shannon and the rest of the staff were very friendly. Dining is only open in covered tent area but it's comfortable. Tables were set apart for social distancing. Definitely worth the trip and will come again.

You have to try this place! Hidden little gem in Windermere. Had a great variety of sandwiches, wraps, and salads. The bakery looked delicious, but I did not try a nb y of the sweets. The service was great, even though it was extremely busy. Tons of seating in the back. Will definitely be back soon

OMG. This place is amazing. Found it by chance on Google Recommendations and had to try it out. Pulled pork wrap with kettle chips was amazing. The nachos looked fab and the team were attentive and happy to make recommendations on food.

The one thing I love best about this establishment is the atmosphere. It is located in a historic building, and you can eat either upstairs or outside.

Some of the best gourmet sandwiches I've ever had in the Orlando metropolitan area, hands down.

Incredible food in an unassuming part of town!

Down a few old Florida roads and across from the old Town church sits some of the best BBQ you can find in the tri-county area. Few places really accomplish great BBQ and great atmosphere: Yellow Dog Eats does, and then some! With cozy seating on the...

I've been going to the Yellow dog for years now. My oldest worked there about 16yrs ago and I was hooked. Eating there or caring out it's well worth the money and experience. Pulled pork sandwiches and the delicious choices in cheese will make you want to come back for more.

Super good. Quick serve gourmet food with a bar. Seating is inside upstairs or out back on a covered patio that is pet friendly. There is a resident kitty that patiently waits for scraps or snuggles. The sandwiches all look great. There are a variety of entrees for both vegetarian and omnivores. We ...

I had the half rack of ribs. They were great! The flavor was wonderful with the mustard based sauce. The only down side was the limited sides (chips or slaw). They are only seating outside right now, and they don't have heaters set up. The beer selection made up for that, but only if you like IPA's.

Definitely out of the way. But you should not ignore. They are known for their pulled pork. Right now it's only outdoor seating. No worries it's covered. A mish mash of decor but it works. It looks like people are encouraged to write on the walls. Saw some interesting things.

So Good! The best things to try here: the BBQ anything. The "Fish" sauce is not fishy, it's from the name of the owner. And it's his signature BBQ sauce, similar to a Carolina style type of BBQ. also good: the deli sandwiches and salads.
