23 Best American Restaurants in Apopka

“Yum, Yum, Yum! I was invited to lunch at Papa Diesel's Restaurant on my visit to Apopka, FL. From the moment I entered the restaurant, the entire experience was a treat. A friendly family atmosphere greeted me at the door, with the added touch of care that was immaculately given to every detail. The aroma from the kitchen activated my taste buds, as I stared mesmerized by the extensive menu. Finally, I decided to go for the “Diesel Sampler”. The brisket was so succulent that it melted in my mouth. The ribs fell from the bone with such flavor that no sauce was necessary—the pulled pork I used to sample the homemade sauces. As I was told, the sauces will soon be available in the local supermarkets (as I can attest to becoming a family staple). Needless to say, the sausage, chicken, and sides all met with the same flavorful standards. Ending my meal with a dessert, I enjoyed the peach cobbler and shared a nibble of key lime cake with my date. It was an enjoyable afternoon, sharing special time with loved ones in a loving environment, dining on food prepared by Papa Diesel, who loves to cook for folks, and making them feel at home!“

“We had a wonderful experience at Crave this past Sunday. We were able to have breakfast outside with our pup. Very nice sitting area with parking in the back and a large grassy area. The food we ordered was delicious. I can’t wait to try more from their menu and enjoy some of the many events they provide to their customers. Pups On The Patio is the next event we are excited about. We’ll be there supporting Crave!“

“Ariel is truly an exceptional employee at this Zaxby’s. Their kindness, professionalism, and outstanding service create such a welcoming experience that I would return to this location specifically because of them. Ariel goes above and beyond, making every visit memorable.“

“[Apopka location on Main Street] Had a late dinner with my wife last night and had the ribeye. We enjoyed the food, service, ambiance, and the Veterans Day discount on the entree. Shout out to Ali - our server. She was kind, attentive, efficient and made all the difference. We will return. Thanks 🇺🇸“

“Always good food, and love being able to sit outside!“

“As a visitor to the state, I stumbled upon Calypso and was immediately impressed by their top-notch and welcoming service. While I waited, the owners shared that their coffee is imported from a family farm and even offered excellent recommendations on which beans to purchase. I also found it amazing that they sell green beans, so if you're interested in roasting your own, you have that option. Last but not least, the coffee itself: as a coffee shop adventurer, I typically order a latte to gauge the quality of an establishment. Needless to say, Calypso crafted a banging latte that was well-balanced and packed with flavor.“

“Our first time there since this place has been opened and I must say, it was really a very satisfying experience. Starting with the cleanliness, was very encouraging. The staff was very polite and friendly especially Emma our waitress and the cashier who took our order. The chicken sandwiches were the best tasting, fresh and filling, the milkshakes were excellent. Will definitely be back and recommend my friends.“

“everything is good. food was fast nothing raw.“

“El servicio exelente y la comida mejor“

“This morning our family went to IHOP in Apopka FL. and our waitress Candice was awesome. The best waitress we have ever had there. Kind, attentive, smiling, and arranged a happy birthday song w.ice cream for my father in law. He loved it, we were all thankful. We tipped her very well, she deserved it.“

“The food is always fantastic with friendly workers. The only gripe I have ever had applies to many restaurants: just because the order was made online, don’t universally assume it should be packaged for carry out. Especially if I walk into the store before my order is fulfilled and explicitly inform a worker that I will be dining in.“

“Arlene is the best server ever!!! The food is always great“

“One of my favorite places to go“

“Visited today for lunch with my Momma and 4 of her friends. I had the Tampa Cuban and it was excellent. Karen had the Grilled Chicken Salad and Trudy the Chef Salad and very large portions on all we ordered. Jane had Chicken Tenders. Momma had the 5 cheese Cheese Burger. Service was great and food fresh. Definitely Recommend BEEF 'O' Brady's Apopka, FL cboleware“

“I love their pizzas, the staff is very attentive and friendly, and the food comes out freshly made, so you have to wait for it to come out and it's not long, and it's really worth the wait, the cheese breads are delicious. I recommend.“

“Great Chilis’ like I used to go regular in North Charleston in International Blvd.…& Chilis in Jacksonville , Florida whenever i dive from Charleston to Orlando or Orlando to Charleston, I stop by few of the great people there…this is another great Chilis in Apopka , Florida – good customers and good people working across in this particular restaurant. I frequently visit due to the good atmosphere and nice people working there. To mention: Kevin the GM is down to earth – on the first time, he went out of the way “hello” even though I was sitting far off…Nikki said he is genuinely nice and wonderful…that is shown in his action, deeds not just words. I used to like Mrs. Tina I used to go there from 2017.on and off whenever I visit on a weekend to see my family…Manny used to be there- he is still long time dedicated to Chilis… Great, nice people worth mentioning are: This is not in sequence or chronological – whomsoever comes in my mind and just jotting down there is no this is the first person or second person please…. sorry to be brutally honest, ethical, integrity and upfront: 1. Ms. Cindy who helped to fix the Vegetarian meal for me and later she and Ricky together made that happen- Very conscious, she does not worry about appreciation or so, she works hard, truthful and cares for customers during Theresa’s incident one of the Thursdays in May 2024. 2. Mr. Scott brother- they say he is new- but super quick, sharp and he goes out of the way to help, if any bartender or serving or doing lot of things- he goes and helps the customers, he has a great attitude. Cares lot for the nation. Love that brother Scott. Once Scott and Kevin worked on the radio – they were smiling, since I was joking with them – Great Team … 3. Nikki – super good and great bartender – some of them come for her sake on Tuesdays and she has a great serving tables according to the Young kid like Brandon even though he is tall in the Organization in that Branch of Chilis- like Michale Jordan -just kidding. 4. Danielle – she is incredibly soft, nice, and good person always- great friendly attitude…nice hard working and can-do double shift- very sincere. 5. Kimmie- some of the customers like her most…. like Theresa and Carol always talks nice about her…Kathy too. 6. Few of the front host also. I did not get her name. I remember one Ashley I think, or I forgot one…She does not get scared for work or Amber -cannot remember. 7. Manny is regular as always as I mentioned above…Chilis is the place he is dedicated to work …all the time. 8. Ricky is great – sharp and intelligent. 9. Mike who serves and has a particularly good attitude, someone said he works on Monday, Tuesday, and one another day- I cannot remember. 10. Brandon is a good person. Young, loves music and dancing and is a friendly person.

“I was dreaming of a Triple Dipper for a week straight, and finally went in and got one. Worth the wait!! Food was great, servers were attentive, and Kim made my night! She was so friendly and made sure we felt cared for. I will be coming back to see her soon!“

“You close at 10:00 P.M., but your guy tells me I have to get my food to-go at 9:15 P.M. despite others ordering inside without incident. Your manager gives me resistance when I want a refund and tries to cop an attitude. This level of service is unacceptable.“
