Papa Diesel’s BBQ

We decided to give this place a try and we were impressed. There are not alot of good bbq places around Apopka so it’s nice to see that we do now. Great food, friendly staff and clean place. We tried the meat sampler, Diesel fries, mac and cheese and the corn bread. The meat was very tender and flavorful, not dry at all! Oh, the sweet tea was good as well! We will be back!

The place has great flavor — the brisket and ribs taste really good and you can tell the food is well prepared. However, there is a lack of organization when taking orders and bringing food to the table, which affects the overall experience. Also, the food arrived a bit cold, which was disappointing considering how good it tastes. With better organization and attention to serving temperature, this place could be excellent.

This establishment feels like you’re eating at one of your family’s house!! Its warm atmosphere is very clean, cozy & the staff is so sweet!!!! We come here often as a family because everything on the menu is delicious and fresh and you can tell it’s made with love! My personal favorite things to eat are the dry rubbed/smoked ribs,melt in your mouth brisket & omg the brussels sprouts!! their seasoned fries/chic nugs are great too, my kids love them! You gotta try their desserts, they’re the perfect ending to your full belly!! You’ll leave happy, satisfied & definitely become a regular customer like us!!

Being a local I love to support our community and new business. I love the staff, how helpful and cordial they were. Now the food, we all had a very hard time finding something that we would like to eat again. Even the protein were lacking factor. With the sides it feels like they try really hard to nail their own recipe and flavor - they try so hard that nothing end up tasting balance. Quick example, the corn bread. It seams hard to get it wrong, well, it’s so wet and sweet (honey?!) that we could not finish it. Anyways, hopefully it’s just us.

The food and atmosphere was amazing. Me and my family enjoyed the family oriented experience. No complaints at all. When I tell you the Cornbread melts in your mouth. The Ribs are so tasty. The Wings seasoned to perfection You can truly taste the Love in every Bite. They definitely got forever customers with us. Thank you for homestyle hospitality!
