Ellie Lou's Brews Bbq - Ocoee

I hate to give a negative review for a restaurant? I had such great hopes for this place. I had a craving for burnt ends. That had me looking for local BBQ spots. This place had a pretty good rating, so I thought it might be good enough to satisfy my desire. Not even close! Ordered execution of 2 meat plates on the melody of $41 with brisket, bone-in chicken, and pulled pig. I honestly don't know where to start. The bride was gray and fat. I always turned it around and looked for a darkened piece somewhere. Large fats took over most of our double share. With burned ends and well boiled brisket, which almost melt fat pieces. There was no melting. In fact, the meat was hardly warm, so it was only a terrible, unsatisfactory bite. The bone in the chicken... look, I LOVE myself at home CHARRED FOOD!!! This poor chicken had literally cooked out every bite of life. You know, if it's an old piece of chicken and the meat doesn't look like meat anymore? Look at pictures. And I thought the bride was bad... you couldn't eat that chicken? The roasted corn cold, side-white warm in trial. The mini maize bread seemed fresh at least, and my husband liked the Koleslaw. If I had eaten in the house, I would have sent it back. We didn't throw $41 literally away!!! Okay, will not be exaggerated: $41 for 1.5 mini-massin muffins and one side of the Koleslaw. It's just not okay. I really hope someone contacts me to make it right.

Great staff, excellent location. It may be difficult to find BBQ restaurants in Windermere, but the point is that it is great. Nice room. The food was great. We just thought the sauce on the beef plate was a little too sweet, but generally great. Very clean and very helpful staff.

Decided to check this place a few days ago. Fast casual place with large bbq. We ordered the kc wet sandwich and the pick two platers (breast and pulled chicken) both were delicious. Would definitely recommend!

I catered my husbands retirement party with Ellis Lou?s Brews BBQ and the food was outstanding! We served bone in chicken, pork, settlers bean and Mac/cheese. The meats were seasoned perfectly and very moist. The beans are the best I?ve had in Florida. The Mac/cheese was an absolute favorite. Leigh was so helpful and professional. Thank you Ellie Lou?s for helping make this a celebration to remember.

Brisket had such a nice flavor. Baked beans were the best I've had besides my own. Service excellent. Ellie came around to talk to everyone and brought each of us a sample of gospel grits. Very cheesey and delicious.
