Over two decades at the same Southwest Orlando location, Bubbalou's draws repeat customers and out-of-state visitors for ribs, brisket, and Southern-style sides that reviewers say stay true to the original formula.

CDL BBQ at Home

5.0(122)✓ Google-verified

Across more than a hundred catering events, CDL BBQ has earned a near-perfect 5-star rating by delivering meat cooked to order-standout tenderness, paired with elegant plating that raises corporate lunches above the ordinary. Staff like Carlos, Felipe, and Thiago appear by name in praise for orchestrating events flawlessly, from 40-person team lunches to 90-person celebrations, yet one reviewer noted a driver's unsafe road behavior, a rare crack in an otherwise spotless record. The business operates across Orlando with both catering and food-truck services, drawing particular respect for Brazilian barbecue expertise and thoughtful touches (guava jam pairing, fresh sides). Reviewers consistently call out the level of care in setup, breakdown, and guest interaction as the real differentiator.

Sonny's delivers consistently smoky, well-seasoned BBQ with meat that pulls cleanly from the bone and portions that justify the moderate pricing.
