Place was recommended by my son. Having traveled all over Texas wanted to see if this place was on point. Cecil’s did not disappoint. The pulled pork was flavorful and juicy. The brisket was also juicy and had a nice smoked flavor. The sausage was excellent. Dining in has an ambiance of being in Texas, not down town Orlando, Fl. Very friendly staff too. My husband and I will definitely return again and also recommend this place.
Parking may be a bit challenging but we arrive just a few minutes after opening on a Sunday.

The dining area was neat and clean. Has a great BBQ joint feel to it. There are no waiters it's buffet style. My brisket was just ok..it was yesterday's leftovers. I watched as he unwrapped it from the plastic wrap, and it was on the dry side. It tasted good and was smoked well. Was just dry. The rest of the food was very good. Place was a but pricey for my taste. Coming out to a little over 20 dollars person. Overall, not impressed enough to go back.

This was my first time there..they have a good selection of food items to select from...it like a buffet style setup but a one time go around.
It would be nice if the food was fresh and hot. The food was cold to lightly warm. I went back and ask for fresh hot French fries.
The staff was pleasant at least
If I return I hope the food will be hotter. This place has been in Orlando Fl for a long time I think.

Can you say “Sampler”? Only when you do the guy who cuts the meat gets really annoyed. But say it anyways and ignore his attitude, because this meal gives you a generous portion of all the meats to sample at a very fair price. It’s a meal that can be shared between 2-3 people.
Cecil’s has been around Orlando for decades, way before a lot of other trendy barbecues around today. The service has gone down but the food is still pretty delicious. So if you want to experience an Orlando staple you gotta try Cecil’s at least once and then make a decision for yourself if it is worth returning to.

Delicious!! I was craving homestyle BBQ food and I swear every single thing was EXACTLY the flavor profile I was missing (is my Grandma employed in your kitchen??)
This was supposed to be a lunch special sandwich w/2 sides but I just couldn't say no to everything clearly. The staff is friendly and funny and the place was clean with lots of seating.
