By far the most compelling destination in this far-from-compelling strip mall, Keller's has been drawing raves from barbecue connoisseurs the city over. The third outpost in the Keller's family (there's one in Lake Mary and one in Altamonte as well), this smoke joint has a slightly disturbing interior of cow-print tablecloths and murals of farm critters, yet you'll find those tables filled with Full Sail and UCF students chomping on the down-home dishes of Todd Keller, whose father founded the legendary Fat Boys' Bar-B-Q chain. Those dishes include smoked turkey on garlic bread slathered in sweet sauce, and the deliciously fat and smoky ribs. The flavors of both are enhanced by a side of the homemade baked beans and any of their three sauces: original mustard, spicy tomato and sweet tomato (a mix of the hot and sweet works best). Hungry diners get a bit of everything with a sample platter of sliced pork, beef and a quarter chicken, while the smoked chicken salad -- with red onions, cukes and tomato wedges -- provides a healthier alternative. Orders are delivered in good time and the wait staff are a lively and friendly bunch. Sundays feature all-you-can-eat specials and if the lack of elbow room inside gets to you, take your feast outside and enjoy the parking lot view.

From an old friend
By PattiHawk on 01/15/2009
I knew Todd Keller's dad, Andy, back when he started Fat Boys in Naples, Florida. He was a good friend, and the greatest cook I've ever met. It's no wonder the restaurants he founded have done so well. I know for a fact that for over 30 years there hasn't been any better bar-b-que.

Excellent food

My husband and I go to the one in Altamonte and it is the greatest. Their sauce is the best and I buy some and take it home before I will buy any other sauce. It is sweet and just right. The meat is very tender and all the food is cooked just right.

I've been eaten here for a couple of years ,I like the way you can taste the wood in the food, like it is smoked as it cooks ,most places rely on the sauce to call it barbacue ,kellers dont
