“Food was awesome! I had the Strawberry 🍓 Crepes 🍓🍓🍓“

“Husband and I were visiting Orlando for the first time and came across Maxine's on Shine. It is such an absolutely incredible charming restaurant! The food was outstanding, with generous and delicious portions, great prices, lots of options and vegan options and drinks but above all -- the hospitality was exceptional! From the greeting from the hostess, discussion with the bartender to the server, busser and owners, they all truly made us feel like a local to the city and appreciative of our business. You really can see the passion from Kirt and Maxine (owners) as it really shines through in every detail in their food, decor and ambiance of the restaurant and you can see that same passion in their staff! My husband and I went for dinner on a Saturday night and had such a wonderful experience that we simply had to go back on Sunday for the brunch before leaving town. Truly an AMAZING experience and such wonderful people! 100 STARS!!!“

“Jackie was our waitress today at Nona Blue. Jackie has waited on us before, because we go to Nona Blue quite often. Is my family‘s favorite restaurant in the area, and has been for many years. Jackie is the best waitress ever. She is not only cute and sweet and fun, but she is a very hard worker. She completely takes care of her people. She genuinely cares, and will do everything to make your experience perfect. Thank you, Jackie for making Nona Blue so great!!!!“

“Alexander was great at today. Friendly, fast accurate service. We had a large order and it was fresh and hot with all the extra side sauces and dressings we asked for. Will definitely be back. I had to let everyone know.“

“Ordered Bolay for lunch through the app and was so excited to find a free Bol coupon in my rewards! Ordering was super simple and straightforward and the ready time was super fast, under 15 minutes! Since this was during the workday, I needed to be able to get there and back with my food quickly to fit into my 30 minute lunch break! I was thrilled when I walked in and my order was all ready, packaged with napkins and my silverware and still warm! It was delicious too! Great option for a healthy and fast meal!“

“Amazing atmosphere to hang out grab a drink and eat great food!“

“Great place for vegetarian and vegan options. I’m more of a carnivore but have many varieties in my family and we all ate what we wanted at a great price and it was delicious!
The black rice and salmon were amazing with my garlic crème sauce and some chicken and pesto noodles!! We will be back again soon. It was affordable and healthy and had wonderful flavors. One star off bc the waiters forgot to bring me my salmon and the food got cold“

“We’ve been to all three Hangry Bison locations. Winter Park was our first and quickly felt like home. Winter Garden kept the magic going, and now Lake Mary has us just as hooked! This place has become our go to spot. Great food, amazing drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like family. I highly recommend. The Hangry Bison never misses!“

“Stopped in for Sunday brunch and was pleased with the brunch options! Bianca was our server and was very attentive, refilling our drinks before having to ask and making good menu recommendations. Hubby and I split the brunch burger and estate burger and both were delicious, although I liked the brunch one better. The star burger was a bit saltier than I like but still delicious. My daughter got the mushroom Swiss and she enjoyed it!“

“The best of oviedo: my whole family loves it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✨✨✨“

“Cute place! Service was very friendly and quick. We ran in at 3:30 to grab something to eat before they closed at 4. Hate being those people but our timing just worked out to it as such. They were kind and accommodating as they started closing up. The burger was fantastic for my friend!! The French toast was good but I was worried it was undercooked as it was quite mushy and my scrambled eggs were a little too runny for my liking so ended up not eating much. Overall, good experience and I would try again earlier in the day.“

“Really great wine bar in Winter Park. Great selection of wines! We loved the cheese and meat boards and the flatbreads. We sat outside which was lovely. Our server, Julie went above and beyond to make our afternoon special - massive thank you to her.

Small downsides - very popular so difficult to get a table - wouldn’t recommend for a massive party. We also thought it was a bit cheeky that they charge $4 just to get the wine card.“

“Great spot for families and food and service is excellent“

“The restaurant was amazing“

“Karen was our waitress today 10-6-24 she was excelente as usual!!“

“We had an amazing time at Keg Social Orlando celebrating a birthday! We enjoyed bowling, axe throwing, and the arcade, which provided hours of fun. The venue offers something for everyone, regardless of age—our group ranged from 11 to 41 years old, and everyone had a blast. The food and drinks from the bar were fresh and delicious, and the DJ kept the party atmosphere lively. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing for all ages!“

“I gave it a 4 because the ac didn't work the night we were there and it was so dang hot in there.We actually took our desert to go because it was just a sauna in there at 830pm at night. They service was great and the food was good .Steak was a little fatty but all and all ok.“

“Excellent service, atmosphere, and food.“

“This is a well Loved, always busy place in the Longwood area. Saying this I've always been able to get my order fast and it's always been perfect. Using the driver thru or eating inside hasn't ever been a problem. Kind friendly staff,clean dining areas with plenty of parking always. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and Mom had the Culver's double cheeseburger without cheese and we were both satisfied. Great experience every time. I'm glad to have Google reviews and to be able to share my experience with others about this nice place to get this version of fast food.“

“Went for lunch with the family on a Saturday afternoon. The customer service was excellent! The food was tasty, we had a good time. The veggie burger and onion rings were delicious. The kids meal was properly portioned. If you’re a man that eats a lot my husband recommends 2 burgers. Other than that, great meal and service. Stephany the manager gave us free ice cream to top off our meal. Definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers, fries, onion rings“

“My favorite for years. Very upbeat vibe! This is why I entertain multiple decades at The Porch. Always friendly, great food, and awesome atmosphere.“

“A One-Stop Spot for Food, Coffee, and Fun Vibes!

Orlando Milkhouse is such a hidden gem! It brings together three amazing spots all under one roof — Milkhouse for food and cocktails, Foxtail Coffee, and an awesome little ice cream shop. I got to try all three and loved every bit of it.

I ordered the DK Onion Smashburger and added tomatoes from Milkhouse, and it was delicious — juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I followed it up with an espresso martini, which was the perfect way to sample Foxtail's coffee in cocktail form — smooth and well-balanced.

Of course, we had to grab ice cream, and it did not disappoint. I mean, when is ice cream ever a bad idea? The flavors were rich and creamy, and they weren't shy on the scoop.

The interior was definitely a vibe — fun, stylish, and perfect for hanging out or grabbing pics. I almost forgot to mention they have an event calendar for the month as well! Whether you're there for a quick coffee, a great meal, or just a sweet treat, Milkhouse has something for everyone. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“⸻ 🔥 Best. BBQ. Ever. 🔥 Uncle Tony’s backyard ribs were fall-off-the-bone perfection—smoked like a dream, seasoned like a legend. Mac & cheese? Creamy, crispy-topped magic. Friendly vibes, full plates, and flavor that hits different. 10/10 would cancel plans to eat here again. 🍖🧀🔥 #BBQLegend #UncleTonyKnows #FoodGoals“

“EVERYTHING I have ever tried here is amazing! First experience was Thanksgiving for a party of 8. We literally got one of everything off the menu and let’s just say zero left overs! The empanadas are OUT OF THIS WORLD! The drink menu is Astrology themed and if you are into space/ astronauts the decor will excite you! There is even a couple selfie photo spots that are space themed. Desserts are TRULY special get the super nova it’s a whole experience! You will not be dissatisfied at all Truly a favorite spot!“

“Dined at The Preserve Bar and Grill inside the Cambria Hotel Orlando Airport on Conway for four nights—Kim and Ashley made every visit exceptional. They're not just great servers and bartenders—they're the heart of the place: warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The food and drinks were consistently excellent. If you're into burgers and onion rings they are especially memorable . When you’re in the area don’t miss the chance to be served by Kim or Ashley—you’ll be glad you did!“

“Great place. Good burgers“

The food was delicious! The kettle chip appetizer was phenomenal and our entrees were excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Good food -Good service. I was a bit disappointed when I put money in the jukebox and played some classic rock and then they turned it way down low and I couldn’t even hear it -if you don’t like the music your customers play then unplug the jukebox. thank you for taking money off of my bill, but it didn’t address the actual issue, I can go to any other bar and Grill 👉🏻and they would not do that. Rude.“

“This place was stunning, the food was beyond amazing. The service was impeccable, they explained every dish, where it was sourced and they mindfulness behind the preparation. This is a wonderful experience in Orlando, 10/10 recommended.“
