“The food and service is always good, but don't go there is you only have 1 hour for lunch. It's literally right up the street from my job and it's kind of busy sometimes, but everytime we've gone there it takes forever to get in and out. I've worked in hospitality/front and back of the house and there is no sense of urgency there.“

“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.“

“Eden bar is always my go-to spot and the staff is always so attentive. Adelaide is my favorite bartender ever. She is always so kind and bubbly! I always look forward to any themed drinks she comes up with. I bring all my friends and family from out of town to Eden bar. Can’t be beat!“

“Amazing authentic food and drinks with excellent pricing and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are spot on, and the beer selection is impressive—plenty of variety with options from great breweries, including some truly local choices. A fantastic spot that delivers on both quality and value.“

“We had high expectations for Maxine's and they exceeded those expectations! From the attentive service to the welcoming greeting by the owners, we really enjoyed our visit. After reading all the positive reviews, we drove an hour to experience it for ourselves. The picture of the skillet lasagna on their website was the final push to make the trip and it didn't disappoint!“

“The Monroe was fantastic! From the atmosphere to the food and service, everything was spot on.“

“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!“

“So delicious! Excellent service from everyone, especially our server Shaun. He was so thorough and answered all our questions. The Cedar Key clams were to die for! I had the scallops and my husband had the burger for dinner- so freaking amazing ! I can’t say enough about this place! The owner was walking through the dining room checking on everyone, greeting everyone - thank you Carol for an exceptional experience!“

“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!“

“This was not our first seating with KEVN!! Lucky us!! EXCELLENT server! He is consistently one step ahead of the game: anticipating your needs and providing that for you. Food at 60 Vines?

“[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 🇺🇸“

“I ordered my mixer on the app to see how fast it would take to get my desert. I went up to the front and i waited. Mario immediately asked if i needed help. I told him about my order and he immediately took care of it. These types of employees are keepers- self starters and take care of business. This guy can be a future leader.

Shane i see him hardworking, walking around cleaning, being proactive in ensuring tables are cleaned and ready for guests. He took our tray and even offered a to go box. He definitely was ensuring guests didnt need anything additional.

When you take care of your employees they take care of teh guests.“

“Great place. Good burgers“

“I was searching for the perfect spot to celebrate my birthday, and The Stubborn Mule in Orlando just fell into my lap — what a gem! I met my cousin who lives nearby, and we were looking for a good meal, great vibes, and a few laughs.
Our server, Jessica, was absolutely amazing — friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like queens! She knew the menu inside and out and gave the best recommendations. We started with the Edamame topped with grated Parmesan, which came in a generous portion and was so flavorful.
For the main course, I ordered the Smash Burger with Garlic Broccolini — I was thrilled to learn it’s made with grass-fed beef. My cousin had The Stubborn Mule and Cheesy Gouda Grits, and she loved every bite.
To top it all off, Jessica surprised me with a Salted Caramel Cheesecake for my birthday — such a sweet touch!
I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday lunch — great food, amazing service, and perfect outdoor weather in downtown O-Town. I’ll definitely be back! 🎉“

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

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

“Love this place kids love love their meals and the free ice cream 🍨“

“We visited for lunch today. My husband had the Simple Man smash burger and I ordered the honey butter biscuit and onion dip with a half kale salad. The honey butter biscuit was delicious. Perfectly sweet and salty. Slightly grilled. The onion dip was served with house made ranch chips. Delicious. The dip was creamy and rich, but I needed more onions. My husband loved the marinated tomatoes on his sandwich. My kale apple salad was balanced and a great addition to the apps ordered. Would definitely visit again.“

“great food, very good and the sevice was excellent!“

“Great breakfast and lunch at the best price!! Walk up window and order..“

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

“This was a suggestion by someone else that frequently goes here. I was not disappointed. It is limited on space but service was quick. Pancakes are a feature item! They have a signature drink menu but you can't customize or substitute. A downside is they were out of both drinks I wanted so I opted for the pomegranate bellini, it was ok. Being that its in Winter Park it is on the higher end of prices per item. I had leftovers which eased the cost. Will return“

“We went today the best as always I had the fish,orka,onion rings, my husband had a hamber, onion rings, we tried the fryed mushrooms very good. Thank u again for the best food and service!!“

“Great potato pancakes Apple pie is my wife favorite Chocolate French Silk 👍“

“Culver’s is one of our favorite restaurants to visit. The staff is excellent and the food is great! However, there is one small issue I have. Make sure to bring a sweater or a jacket when you enter the building. It’s cold as an igloo in there! And eat the food quick or it will get cold. Other than that, it’s a great place to eat!“

“The atmosphere was welcoming, food was good- simple and tasty for a sports bar“

“I had the pleasure of enjoying the Orlando Magical Dining Experience with Hamilton’s and it was everything. The atmosphere, service and food, top tier. I can not wait to come back for brunch.“

“Good food for the money. The cashier was very helpful. She made good suggestions. Mushrooms and shrimp cooked properly. Calamari was a little overcooked and chewy but good. Gyros was delicious. Will definitely be back. Very clean seating.“

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

“The manager on duty last night was awesome! I’m only assuming he was the manager. Made our order wrong because of something trivial and made it right in the name of customer service. My wife and I have been going there for years and we will continue being patrons because of people like him !“

“Extremely knowledge , network is fantastic!“

“Amazing experience...ask for Deric!! can not wait to return to this restaurant. It is so much more than a restaurant!“
