“I gave 1 star for the food because I didn't eat there. I accompanied the people I was with but since I can't eat past 6pm due to medical reasons and it was past 8pm, I can't review the food section. I can tell you that Matthew did a Awesome job taking care a table of 17 by himself, while taking care of his other tables. He gave great attention without missing a beat. I haven't seen service like that in a while.“

“My wife and I had the pleasure of going to Cheddar's scratch kitchen while we were in Orlando for her birthday. I was very surprised when our waitress showed up with two croissants with some sweet drizzle over it on the house too. I believe the sweet croissanta on the menu but the first two are on the house. I ordered the fish and shrimp and it was fantastic. The shrimp were crispy the fish was flaky and crispy. My sides were the seasoned string beans and the rice and beans. My wife ordered the Hawaiian steak with the broccoli and the mash and a caesar salad. We were very surprised at the prices and the service was wonderful. The food was fantastic but all around great time. Cheddar's is definitely on our list. The closest one to us is Pembroke pines, so we'll be adding this place to our list of go-to restaurants..“

“Got great deals for our new great grandson for his July 4th outfit. Husband’s meal was ok. My chicken n dumplings were terrible!! Half of it I could not eat - tasted and looked like they had scraped the bottom of the pot! Dumplings all stuck together and so thick the middle was like raw dough! I usually order the same meal when eating there. But this was terrible!! Our waiter was great! Love the peach iced tea!!!“

Got the loaded potato soup and that too was very tasty and cheesy. Was not filled at all when we got there and the decor felt like I was at someone's home. I would definitely go back as the food was tasty, filling, and didnt have that heavy feeling after eating.“

“Had lunch here during a conference, which we thankfully made a reservation for. Although the restaurant was very busy, we were seated promptly and had great service.

“Stopped at Cask & Larder at the Orlando airport on my way to Syracuse for Thanksgiving with my daughter, and our bartender/server Lauren was amazing. She was super friendly and really on top of everything.

I ordered the blueberry mule with elderflower, and it was honestly so good. One drink to calm the nerves, right?
She checked in on us just the right amount and made the whole morning feel easy. Girl was hustling, it looked busy.

Great service and a great start to our trip. I’d definitely look for her again next time we fly.“

“We did not have a reservation but heard the outdoor and indoor bar are full service and open seating so we decided to give it a go. We came at dinner time, but a little later about 7:30 or 8:30pm ish. And there were open seats at the bar. Bar service was fine, we sat on the end so we were ignored a tiny bit. We ordered a refill moonshine (you can get a refillable squeeze bottle), and a wine. We ordered the church lady deviled eggs because we had heard they were good. We enjoyed them but we felt they didn’t live up to the hype, but we ate them all. We each ordered a chicken sandwich, one spicy and one not. And we got mac and cheese for a side. The chicken is perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, flavorful, and crispy. The mac and cheese is perfectly browned and super cheesy and flavorful, everything was a home run. We will definitely be back in the future. And be sure to check out the bar if you don’t have a reservation!

We had been here years ago and wanted to come back again! Our server was so outgoing and friendly, and she explained some of her favorites on the menu. We tried some moonshine as well as some sangria. We got the smothered chicken and boy was this more than enough to share! It came with sides and a huge piece of chicken. The chicken was so good, it was moist and tender and flavorful. It was even still amazing as leftovers the next day. We also got the chicken and dumpling soup which was basically deconstructed chicken pot pie. It was a large portion and was pretty good. We also got the regular and the hot chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was sooo good and the chicken sandwiches were eaten so fast because they were so good. This place is known for its fried chicken and it is easy to see why. We will definitely be coming back here again when time allows us, because everything was a home run from service to food to drinks.“

“Highball & Harvest - Orlando - 4.5 Stars "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor." -- Gita Highball & Harvest is a restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Ritz works very hard to deliver an amazing overall experience whether in lodging or in dining. While I did not stay at the hotel itself, the opulence that surrounds you upon entering the restaurant is sumptuous. You have to take a circuitous route to get to this eatery but once seated you have great views of lush flora and fauna that are carefully manicured. The attention to detail is astounding. The only downside to this spot is that the open air nature of this area caused sound to reverberate. Normally, this is not a big deal, but there was a gaggle of men hard-pitching what sounded like a Ponzi-like scheme to some young adults nearby. I tried to ignore them, but the leader of the pitch had a bellowing voice that carried throughout the place. He looked and sounded just like Marty Funkhouser from "Curb Your Enthusiasm." It was hard to avert my eyes because he apparently had obtained hair transplants years ago and did not have the foresight to consider future baldness. So he had perfect rows of wispy red hair on his head, a complete ring of baldness, and then more hair. Anyway, while this is a major digression from the point it was hilarious to watch and listen. I didn't need to stick my head in my phone for entertainment. Now, back to my culinary experience. Highball & Harvest has, like all modern American restaurants, a craft drink menu. A highball is another name for cocktail, which was big in usage at the turn of the last century. I chose to imbibe and picked the Industrialist from the menu. This consisted of Woodford Reserve double bourbon, Creme de' Menthe, and Fernet Branca. How they came up with this combination is beyond me but WOW! - it works. I ordered three sides instead of a full meal this time, choosing brussel sprouts with sherry-maple gastrique, Jimmy Red's goat cheese grits, and red cabbage deviled eggs. At first I was worried about the maple gastrique but my worry was for naught. The maple was barely noticeable but the sugars gave a potent punch on the finish. Now, as far as cheese grits go, I will eat them whenever they're on the menu. These Jimmy Red's had so much wonderful cheese I almost want to call it cheese with grits - truly amazing. Finally the deviled eggs: The chef who designed these eggs should get national recognition. The filling was smooth and creamy. The red cabbage finish topped with the pumpernickel crouton is the kind of crisp, clean, simple dish I so enjoy. I can't say enough good things about Highball & Harvest. Their dishes are simple, yet complex, and contain the right balance of flavors with recipes that are outside of the proverbial box. Please, I implore you to go experience Highball & Harvest, so sayeth the Big Bo“

“An amazing surprise. Who would have thought you'd find excellent food and service in an airport restaurant. There were 4 in our party. We each ordered something different and every plate was outstanding. Miguel was our server. He was excellent! Big thanks to Miguel and the entire team. You really made a long layover 1000x better.
