Keller's delivers consistently good smoked meats and sides that keep people coming back. Pulled and sliced pork shine, sauces are homemade, and staff are usually attentive. Limited seating and occasional service friction at this Lake Mary location are minor trade-offs for fast turnaround and solid food at fair prices.
