Papa Diesel's was a top rung experience! These are some of the friendliest people I've ever met. Papa Diesel himself even came out to talk barbecue with us and take a photo. As for the food...KILLER! Definitely get the fried ribs and smoked wings. I also really enjoyed his take on Alabama White Sauce. Everything was flavorful and absolutely delicious! If you're ever in Orlando, seek these guys out.

Only 2 other customers on a Saturday night so i was a little leary. Chicken was a lil dry but ok , but the ribs and beans had a funny taste. I don't know how to explain it. The side of fries were burned no big deal they got cooked too long. My biggest problem was the cornbread muffins. They were almost mush from having so much butter or oil on them and inside them straight to the trash they went. I even tried to wring them out . Didn't help. The meat should have been as juicy as the cornbread was. Sorry won't go back.

Highly recommended, so we had to give it a try. We love this place. The people that worked there are great and helpful. "G" is amazing. She took great care of us while we were there. They also offered extra sides to try since it was our 1st time there. We tried almost everything lol. The chili is amazing. The cornbread is a must have. Ribs..meat falls off the bone. Wings are nice and crispy. They taste great with the alabama sauce. Brisket falls apart like nothing. I apologize for not having pictures of the bbq at the table. I was lost in all the food by the time it got to the table. But I took a pic of 1 of to go boxes. In the end..id recommend checking them out

Today, September 14th , was our 1st visit. Oh my what a great operation. The staff was so welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. We tried the wings, brisket sandwich, the Eloise sandwich, slaw, beans, Brussel sprouts, and Mac and cheese. All amazing. We recommend the house bbq sauce. The entire place was spotless. We will be back.

If you are eating low carb/high protein, come see Papa Diesel! My husband had a pound of chopped chicken with no sides. Most flavorful meat ever... smoky...and all the sauces are excellent. I had a half pound of chopped chicken plus a crisp, fresh, not sweet, slaw. We also tried the smoked and flash fried wings. Also fabulous. Kyleigh led us through the menu for our dietary concerns, and she helped us make delicious choices. Will be back, frequently! If you have carbs to spare, they have sweet rolls, baked beans, fries, baked potatoes, brussel sprouts, and desserts as well.

This is my new favorite BBQ restaurant - I ordered the pulled pork platter with fries and beans. It was so good, I ordered the chili and cornbread to go - all excellent choices. And while the sauces are good, the meat doesn't need them, so flavorful on its own!

So we drove 50 minutes to try this bbq based of a friend stating is was the best. It was very mushy and wet, we got the sampler plate so we could try a few things. Mac cheese was gritty, all the meat was wet and mushy like it's been sitting in a pan of liquid for hours, it was around 1pm when we went. When the hostess asked us how we like the food, I simply told them it was very mushy. Seem like it'd been sitting in a pan for hours and then when the cook came out and asked me about it, she told me that was because it was the fat rendering down and we should have asked for leaner cuts of meat. It's pretty evident this meat sits in a pan for hours before it's served. It's definitely not cut off fresh as far as the brisket, the ribs were the same and the pulled pork was a bit dryer. The wings were not to bad. Lunchtime on a Sunday and hardly anyone in the place. I thought my food would have been so fresh but it was not. I'm sorry but not a worthy bbq place for me.

The sauce is phenomenal- but definitely not NEEDED because of the flavor of the meat alone. Delicious food! And the SWEETEST staff. Extremely clean and cozy restaurant.
Papa Diesel deserves more recognition!

My number one rating tool is the BBQ beans and these are excellent and much tastier than most places. This will definitely be my goto BBQ now.

Went here today to meet up with family and have a nice lunch. It was my first time and I had read all the reviews before so I will start by saying all the 5 stars you see here are real. We tried a little bit of everything and can first and foremost say this has to be the best ribs I've ever had. Yes they were fall off the bone but more then that the flavor of the rub and spices with that smoker taste really came through. Now the brisket was nice and on par with some of the top places I've had before along with the wings. Their motto is "no sauce needed" and I can easily agree with that statement. The sides were nice like the fries and brussel sprouts as is, but for a stand out I'd give notice to the corn muffins. Very moist with a flavor punch on their own. They aren't hot but being flavored already they don't really need to be. If I had to nitpick and I'm hard pressed to I'd ask for the option of garlic bread in the future along with blue cheese for the wings. I look forward to returning again soon and can easily recommend this place as a must try on my list.

I ordered take out for my family. One chicken sandwich, one pork sandwich with sides of fries, baked beans and cole slaw. The buns were cheap and flimsy on both sandwiches. The chopped chicken was cold and dry... possibly overcooked. The beans were ok but the portion for $4 was insulting. The cole slaw unfortunately was inedible. What a waste. The taste was terrible and so it didn't matter that the portion for the money was also unacceptable. The fries were good and for the same $4 the correct portion was provided.
Was hoping to love this place but after spending over $30, I was not impressed and my kid is still hungry. We will not return.
