So I read the reviews, pulled up and saw the cute little place and smelled the smoke. And I wanted to love this place. Sadly I didn't. Admittedly I cook a lot of bbq myself so I'm very picky. I got a half rack of ribs and a pound of brisket, no sides. The ribs were a little tough and chewy and the brisket was a little roast beefy. Not a huge smoke flavor even though they are cooking on an offset. Brisket had a slight aftertaste. The sauces were both okay. But one note. No complexity of flavor. All in all, acceptable bbq with a cool atmosphere and really nice people! I wouldn't avoid it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat there again.
You pull up and you smell the smoke. You smell the fat rendering off of the ribs and brisket. This is what true BBQ is supposed to be. I’ve been to many BBQ joints in Orlando. St. Vicks is leading the pack by a LONG SHOT. Traveled to Austin and went to all the Top Dogs out there. St. Vicks is on par with those pit masters. If you live in college park (or the soon to be packing district) this should be a staple. If you live in Orlando you should put this into your rotation. If you are visiting Orlando you would be doing yourself a disservice if you don’t make the trip out here (yes there is actually amazing food in Orlando once you leave the Disney bubble) A couple good things to note for first timers: -located right next to a Sunoco gas station -order from the side window -yes the take card -no seating available (but you have a car right?) -sides are just as good as the meat (usually it’s one or the other) -yes it’s on North OBT, yes it’s a safe area, you have the dr. Phillips packing district just to the north (walking distance), you have the Orlando country club and golf course to the south of you, and you have college park (best zipcode to live in) to the east of you. Make the time to visit, you won’t regret it.
Awesome Q! Picked it up before the 2022 Citrus Bowl and it was the talk of the tailgate. Brisket was outstanding! Had family at the game from TX and they were impressed with the brisket and all the tasty sides. People at Vic’s were so kind and held back enough for us after selling out earlier in the day. They also checked on me the following morning to see if everyone enjoyed. They really care about their customers. It’s my go to anytime, I need Q in the O.
