New American Restaurants near Lake Mary, FL

“Can’t rave about this place enough, specifically their catering. They are as reliable and accommodating as it gets and makes my job easier when catering lunch for work. Madisen in particular has been so helpful and great to work with. Highly recommend this location for all your catering needs!“

“The Vineyard Wine Company is a great spot for brunch. The food is fresh, high quality, and you can really tell it’s a farm-to-table, scratch kitchen. Everything we had was delicious.

As someone with a gluten allergy, I really appreciate how clearly marked the gluten-free options are—it makes ordering easy and stress-free. The atmosphere is also great and makes it a nice place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Definitely a spot I’d come back to.

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!“

He made great recommendations and brought us out J.T.’S KETTLE CHIPS- Potato Chips, Gorgonzola Cheese, Scallion, Roma Tomato, Bacon- probably the best app I’ve had all year!! The hummus with Brussel sprouts and roasted cauliflower was insane…will definitely be back on next trip to Orlando! We need one in Cali!“

“If you love 5-star food in a wonderful atmosphere, this is THE place to go in Sanford! We visited for the first time on 3/13/26 and were surprised to find this level of cuisine at such an affordable price. Don’t think twice… drop in to see if a table is available or call to reserve a table in advance because you don’t want to miss out. We’ll definitely be back frequently and will let everyone know that this is the quality and style we want in Sanford. P.S. The staff was fabulous in every way too!“

“I recommend the bar outside w Steph. I haven’t watched a movie here in years so I am not educated enough to give a review on that. Now, the bar outside has arguably the best bartender in the area and abroad. Steph is the bomb. Followed her from another establishment to this location. Amazing person, and great bartender. Also, Matt is the bomb.“

“The meals are my favorite and are so convenient! Jenn makes it super easy to order and everything tastes so fresh!“

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

“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“

“We eat here all the time and are always happy with the meal and the atmosphere. But we tried catering for the first time and were completely blown away. The variety of options available was awesome, and the quality of the food was incredible. The service was fantastic, every question I had was answered, and the catering for 75 people was phenomenal. We will DEFINITELY use them again!!!“

“I recently went to Oh My Gyro and my first impressions are amazing! The food tastes amazing and their special sauces are irresistible! It pains me to see it getting less recognition now, but I highly recommend people go out to try it. The quality of their food and the quantity that you get for what you pay for is what drew me in at first but I want to go back just for the taste!“

“It was absolutely delicious!!I had the steak tip appetizers, sweet tea brine marinated pork chops with mixed potatoes and asparagus, creme brulee“

“jayneliz was an amazing server and all over a sweet person. love your biggest bjs fans“

“The service was excellent and best part of the experience. The Bosnian ladies were the most helpful and friendly service I have had in a while. The food was good but a little cool. I think the for the price 2 egg breakfast was best. I just wish Hilton covered the full breakfast price like Hyatt and Marriott do for their top loyalty clients.“

“Good food, and a fabulous staff. Many have been there for years. I think that speaks to the quality of service and atmosphere of this establishment.“

“Great night! Had a musician by the name of Rex Rex who did a good job. We had a lot of fun!“

“I've been coming here for years. Servers always try to do their best, though occasionally there aren't enough of them staffed on busy nights. The atmosphere can be a little loud at times and parking can be tough. Food is always good. The great service and strong drinks are what keep me coming back.“

“We can't say enough great things about Lili and her team at Huey Magoo's and their exceptional customer service! We order catering for our events often, and every experience with Lili has been outstanding. Our orders are always ready exactly on time, everything is accurate, the food is fresh and delicious, and it's always a huge hit!

Lili and her team, Audrey, Tabias, and Jacob, consistently go above and beyond to make sure every detail is perfect! They offer great suggestions when we place our order, help carry our large catering orders to the car, and truly make the entire process easy and stress-free.

We highly recommend Huey Magoo's for both catering and everyday meals. You won't be disappointed!“

“1/3/25…in town for one night, never been here, never heard of this place, just decided to try it. Stopped in around 5:00. The host asked if we had a reservation, we did not. She said “I’ll work you in” and seated us immediately at the bar. The bruschetta was the bomb! The fried chicken was totally out of this world! The service was outstanding! A must go to place!“

“Update on 7/1/2026:

How does a customer find a 'manager' to report any game problems? I've been here several times since my original post below, and the ability to report game problems is still a problem.
-------------
There were several pinball problems that I emailed to the contact on their Web page, but got no response. Months later the problems were still there. I'm thinking about creating a crowd-sourced database of game problems.
Update May 2023: Encountered a few pinball problems, and tried to let someone know. First went to the order counter where I was told to go to the counter that gives out the prizes for tickets. The line was too long there, so I didn't wait. There definitely needs to be a better way to let someone know of game problems. Either a web site link or a dedicated email address posted on the walls, card machine, etc. (something that is easy to get to and won't be ignored).“

“The best chicken and service hands-down! Took the kids to the one in the town center tonight and we had a great time! Really appreciate all you guys do!“

“I love all the choices that you get to choose from to put in your bowl. And everything is so fresh and delicious! My favorite sauce is the basil pesto. It is exceptional! Tim and Phil provided exceptional service this evening for our meal. We will be back!“
