Dustin's Bar-B-Q

Malissa was excellent. Super friendly and efficient. Kept our drinks filled. Checked on us several time. Their salad bar is phenomenal! Country music playing.

Ok Dustin's! What have you done? They used to be pretty decent for BBQ but now not so much. When we arrived the restaurant was somewhat dead so I figured things would move somewhat fast. That was my mistake in thinking that. Once we got a waiter to come over, I ordered a BBQ platter with sliced pork, ribs and chicken and 2 sides. I chose corn on the cob and green beans. My son ordered the burger. The food came out fairly quick. Everything looked delicious but once I started eating I realized looks can be deceiving. My sliced pork was dry and absolutely no flavor or hint of being smoked. The ribs were inedible. And the skin on the chicken was inedible. There was no seasoning on anything! No butter was provided for the corn and the green beans tasted like they came from the can. I would have expressed my displeasure but the servers were missing in the back or helping one table that consisted of a few Sheriff's deputies. It appeared they are the priority and the other few tables were left to fend for ourselves. I had to literally wave my hands to get our servers attention to ask for the check. I paid and left. We probably won't be back. It was awful!

Still a local favorite in the Avalon Park area. Lately, when in the mood for wings, I go here. They have some decent prices (even with wingflation) and their cajun dry rub keeps them crispy as you dip into their sauces (I like the hot).The salad bar is still good and they do keep up with keeping it as clean as possible with all the rugrats up there making a mess. I still wish they'd include the soup when adding it to a meal, but you can get AYCE with the soup.The brisket is done differently from what it used to be where you can pick fatty vs lean. Now, they just kinda bring it out. And since I cut down on beef, I've also been ordering their turkey which is amazing.Free Ice Cream is still there, the garlic bread is still my favorite part, and the staff is always friendly and attentive.

Best BBQ in Orlando! Yep, that's what I said! The baby back ribs are the best anywhere! The turkey is delicious, I always have a hard time deciding which one to get. We always start with the salad bar, it's so fresh with a lot of options! The bbq beans are outstanding! Be sure and opt for the corn bread instead of the garlic toast which is not very good, but the cornbread is awesome, so moist and flavorful it needs no butter! Miles is the best server and we will ask for him when we go back. Sorry there are no pictures, we ate it all so fast I didn't have time to take them. Can't wait for the next visit!!

We love Dustin's in Orlando! We were blessed to have the most amazing customer service from Tawny. She gave great recommendations that were spot on and she made us feel like we were family. She recommended the garlic shrimp and WOW was she correct, it tastes amazing! We were pleasantly pleased with the salad bar being constantly filled up with fresh produce & goodies. I think that Dustin's has the best salad bar in Central Florida, possibly the whole state! Lastly, I was very impressed with manager Chris. He is young, but very professional and took care of our needs. You want delicious & fresh BBQ? You want Dustin's for sure!

Dustin's Bar-B-Q is a chain barbecue place like Sonny's and the ambiance definitely screams "chain restaurant" (or would it be more appropriate to put it as "CHAIN RESTAURANT" using capital letters?). There is nothing truly wrong with that, but the decor of the place definitely reminded me of a barbecue chain restaurant. The service is decent and when comparing it to other barbecue chain restaurants, it is not bad. Please don't misunderstand, I will always seek out and prefer the local mom-and-pop barbecue restaurants (actually, I almost always prefer the local mom-and-pop locations), however sometimes you find yourself in a national chain restaurant. It could be for convenience or a promotion, but we have all sought out a national chain. Anyway, the food is good and the prices are competitive. Being on East Colonial Drive, it is convenient to those who travel this busy highway, as well as also being convenient to the residents of Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park and that area.Parking is decent and again, it is conveniently located.With good food at decent prices, this is not a bad place to head to.

This is my favorite BBQ restaurant not only is the food consistently excellent but the service is always exceptional. The atmosphere is relaxed and family friendly. Tawny is one of my absolute favorites she so personable and makes sure you have everything you need and then some. She even went above and beyond for us . Everyone there is great but she's our go to person.

Dustin's East Colonial. Been here a few times for lunch and to me that's what a place like this is - a lunch restaurant. It's a local chain with 5 or 6 locations, I've been to the one in Deland also. So if you go in with your expectations in line, your experience here should be fine. I'd rate everything about this place in the decent to good range with nothing being great. It's reminiscent of Sonny's to me - but a little bit better. Same kind of feel, a pulled pork sandwich and fries with cole slaw kind of place. Nothing wrong with that, just understand going in that it isn't some trendy gourmet bbq joint. It's simple food served in a simple environment. If you're looking for that, try Dustin's. I'll eat here again I have no doubt of that, it's a nice easy lunch spot.

Great bbq place. You have the option of dining in or take out. But that lunch special for the baby back ribs is delicious. And what's not to live with an after lunch self served ice cream cone. Will definitely come back with family.

The food is really good, the salad bar is excellent with lots of choices plus soup.. Service is welcoming and friendly, makes you feel like you're dining at a friends house..
