“What a wonderful dining experience my family had at Metro Diner. The food was so amazing and the portions were very large, but what topped off our experience wonderfully was our waitress Karen. She was very pleasant personable and made us feel like we were old friends that came to visit. Karen was so helpful and attentive to our needs and she even threw in some good ol’ humor to make us laugh. Thank you again for your service and we look forward to seeing you again! Dale L.“

“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!“

“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!“

“*I apologize for prejudging this place*

I was visiting family in Orlando and my sisters said they were dying to try this place.

It looked liked one of those uppity places with bad service.

I was wrong, this place is so chill. The staff were so friendly. My sisters and I switched tables three times and the they were cool with it.

Our waitress has either friend the whole or just know customers very well because she ordered for all of us and everyone was happy with their order.

My only complaint was that my sister only let me eat a little of her soup!😂

If you are thinking of trying this place please do! You won’t be disappointed. Unless you go with someone that doesn’t like to share.“

“Erin at Bolay Oviedo made our catering experience easy from start to finish. She was easy to communicate with, and our order for 100 school staff and teachers was ready right on time with plenty of food to go around.
This was our second year using Bolay for Teacher/Staff Appreciation Week at Choices in Learning Elementary, and it won't be our last — the food was a huge hit and loved by all. Thanks again, Erin!“

“The two times I went to BurgerFi on my trip to Florida was an amazing experience! It was the best burger place ever! The service was amazing and very friendly! I got the yes chef burger, and those caramelized onions were the best coming off an eight hour flight and eat. Their sauce was delicious. Best sauce I’ve ever had. I then got the Oreo shake and I must say that was the best Oreo shake I’ve ever had; nice and creamy with Oreos and sprinkles was very good. Definitely 100 out of 10 would recommend. burgerFi needs to expand all over the US!“

I also wanted to brag on our server Eve. Extremely attentive VERY personable. We thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. Will be asking for her when we visit from now on. Everything was GREAT!“

“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!“

“The coolest spot ever! We had some delicious fun cocktails and a mean smash burger + chicken sandwich.
One of the best Espresso Martini's I've had in a long time.
Can't wait to visit again whenever I'm in town.“

“The Stubborn Mule was the perfect spot to grab dinner before the Megan Moroney concert at the Kia Center with my family. Even with the restaurant packed full of fellow concertgoers, everything ran smoothly.

The service was fantastic, and our server, Kyle, truly made the experience. He was friendly, attentive, and absolutely hilarious—a great host who kept the atmosphere fun while making sure we had everything we needed. Despite the busy pre-concert crowd, our food and drinks arrived surprisingly quickly.

The cocktails were excellent, and the food was even better. The flatbreads and handhelds were all delicious, making it hard to pick a favorite.

One nice added touch was that the restaurant had country music playing throughout the evening, with plenty of Megan Moroney songs mixed in. It really got everyone in the mood for the concert and added to the experience as several tables sang along.

If you're headed to an event at the Kia Center, I recommend making The Stubborn Mule part of your evening. Great food, outstanding service, a fun atmosphere, and the perfect way to kick off a night downtown!“

“The BEST! If you are looking for the best of everything in a dining experience, look no further then Marlow's Tavern. A true gem! When you walk in, it's too a sparkling clean dining area, with a coziness that envelopes you in comfort with deep colors, and the a/c is just right, the background music is just right, and the hostess finds you a nice corner that accommodates a mobility scooter and the other 3 in your family are comfortably seated in a wrap around booth. The table is not attached to the floor so that even larger members of your party, can be comfortable. Our waiter, Mario was top notch right from the start, explaining to us how the restaurant is a cut above a typical restaurant by making everything from scratch the food and the drinks (even the drink juices and mixers are all made fresh in house) We wanted a tropical drink that was not in the menu, they made us exactly what we were looking for! Then the chef came out to personally greet us and welcome us even providing us with a surprise that made us feel like VIP's. Our waiter described a few of his own favorite dishes. And answered our questions and advised us on the menu to meet our specific tastes along the way. Then came the food!!! We ordered a crab dip with buttered saltines, shrimp and grits, a lump crab salad, prime rib french dip, and asparagus fries. We LOVED every single bite(and ate every single bite, stopping just short of licking the plates) The BEST of everything, each forkful a delight and the best we have ever had! I mean the best crab dip. The best shrimp and grits( 2 members of our party mentioned that they were going to share, it was plated perfectly on two plates, with more shrimp on 1/2 the order then we had ever seen on a full order! The shrimp were succulent, firm, tasty and cooked to perfection.) The prime rib was cooked exactly as it should be and so tender it just melted in your mouth. Asparagus fries we almost fought over, a nice twist on one of our favorite veggies. The food was so good we even had to get 2 desserts to go(we were to full to eat more but it was so good!) that we wanted to try the desserts. As we were leaving, some live music started playing. Our only regret is this was only a quick stop for us before heading out on a cruise. We would have loved to be able to try everything on the menu, it was a difficult decision to decide on just one appetizer and one entree. Go and ENJOY THE BEST!!!“

“As a local in Orlando for 18 years this place has been an institution. It's been loved by the community for 25 years. Paul has been the lifeblood of keeping an awesome community coming back. The wine club he curates is one of the most unique in Orlando with boutique selections you can't find anywhere else. Don't sleep on the charcuterie board or happy hour!!!“
