Love this place - have searched high and low for decent smoke house BBQ here in London and Orville's fits the bill nicely. The beans are quite amazing, the new smoked back bacon to die for and well literally anything is BBQ heaven on a plate. Tender brisket, gorgeous pulled pork and the turkey well let's say thanksgiving has come early. I cannot say enough about this little place and the customer service is quite wonderful - friendly lots of samples if you want. A true London gem

I came here based on the previous two reviews but I had a poor experience.
I ordered pulled pork sandwich, brisket, and some baked beans. The pork was bland and dry. You definitely need a lot of sauce to make it worthwhile. Good pork shouldn't even need sauce.
The brisket was better, but not really smokey or seasoned enough. I don't think it was cooked today, but perhaps Tuesdays are slow for them so they just reheat leftovers. The beans were the best thing I had. Overall, this place is mediocre. You can have just as good "bbq" at a chain.
This is a minor thing, but why would they play CP24 on their TV? That channel is fine if you're standing in line at a bank, but not exactly the atmosphere you'd expect for "Cuzin Orville's Smokehouse". -

Stopped in here for lunch one day as I was working in the area so I thought I would give it a shot, and boy am I ever glad that I did. The restaurant itself doesn't look like much from the outside but once I got inside, it felt like I was stepping into a BBQ restaurant in the south, the decor is just perfect with that nice down home southern feel to it, they also have numerous display cases full of hot sauces from all over the States, I was very tempted to buy some but I don't BBQ enough at home to actually get a good use out of them.
The service was more than friendly, and just what you would expect from a southern BBQ restaurant. I hadn't even stepped inside the place yet as I was checking out the menu posted on the door, as I was doing so a nice gentleman came outside and said "come on in, try a free rib sample" There was nothing more to say, I knew where I was eating lunch today! All their food is real southern style, smoked in a real smoker for hours on end only marinated with a dry rub, on the tables are 4 different of their sauces that you can put on it when your meat comes out to you, and I must say they are all amazing, I had to keep switching it up on every bite because they were all sooo good.
I ordered the beef brisket sandwich and it comes out like a pull pork sandwich in the sense that it is shredded and not just whole pieces of brisket, but to say the least it was absolutely amazing. A beautiful pink smoke ring on the meat (Which is always key for a real smoke BBQ) greeted my eyes, and an equally beautiful flavour greeted my taste buds as I preceded to take my first bite, and I was hooked. To be honest the rib that I got to sample was even better, this thing was cooked so well that when you talk about fall of the bone, it should have a picture of this rib, I simply picked it up and the gorgeous smoked pork fell right off almost into my lap.
This place is amazing, they are doing something really good here for London and real southern BBQ lovers. Although I found their prices to be a little on the expensive side, you do get what you pay for, and this is definitely the top notch of BBQ in the city. I can't wait to come back and get a full rack of those delicious smokey ribs, and the sauces that compliment every bite so well. Amazing place and definite five star in my books.
