Pancakes and mimosas are overrated on a Sunday morning. Disagree? Head to Pig Floyd’s for your next Sunday morning meal and you might rethink your typical brunch fare.
Mills is exploding with tasty new restaurants and this self-proclaimed urban barbakoa joint is no exception to this growing group. I was a bit skeptical about the place since I’ve heard mixed reviews and am incredibly loyal to that other smokehouse across town. But after devouring a heaping plate of BBQ, grilled corn and wine, I think Pig Floyd’s could be a nice alternative for the long lines and Sunday cravings on Fairbanks. I love the diversity of barbecue in town, but Pig Floyd’s is just a little bit different and still a hidden gem. I was a bit surprised by the price, $22 for two sides, wine and meat – but it was worth every penny.
Here’s what we feasted on and thoroughly enjoyed this weekend!
Barbakoa Meat Platter:
- Oakwood Smoked Brisket: A little fatty, but SO smoky and juicy once you cut around the fat. Thrill your taste buds by dipping in their homemade gluten free Hot BBQ Sauce.
- Oakwood Smoked Pulled Pork: Smoky and meaty, this pulled pork was smoked and flavored to perfection. Why choose just one meat when you can go for two with their combo platter?
- Grilled Corn on the Cob: Topped with chili, lime and cotija cheese – HOLY MOLY. I’ll never eat plain corn again, a side so tasty I’d go back just for this dish!
- Cuban Black Beans & Rice: A nice alternative to traditional BBQ beans, but probably not something I’d order again. I’m not a huge beans and rice gal anyways, but it was a nice pairing with all that meat and corn.
We’re coming back for the butter chicken tacos and ribs! Hurry in before the lines grow and the secret gets out about Orlando’s newest barbecue haven. Pig Floyd’s is located at 1326 North Mills Ave., Orlando, FL 32803.
