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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.
