50 Best American Restaurants near Maitland

“excellent restaurant in every way 😎👍 highly recommend“

“This place is an oasis! The owners were simply delightful, the food was amazing, and the ambience of the seating area was relaxing and didn’t feel like I was in an office building at all. I don’t even work here but I came here after reading the reviews and seeing a Reddit post. I will be back and will be shouting from the rooftops about how great this place is! ?️?️?️“

“KAT WAS FREAKING AWESOME! I came in with my best friend who I haven’t been able to see in a while for some food and drinks after work. I had a very long/rough day at work and she made it such an enjoyable time! Fast and attentive service! Her margarita was the BEST I’ve had in a while! Go in and see KAT! We definitely will be back!“

“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.“

“Amazing dining experience! Every single member of the staff was attentive and beyond helpful. The food, as always was outstanding (try their $38 3 course tasting menu for a little bit of everything). HUGE shout out to Dylan at reception, I accidentally messed up my reservation and he went above and beyond to accommodate our party. 11 out of 10, Orlando staple.“

“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!“

“Alexander was great at today. Friendly, fast accurate service. We had a large order and it was fresh and hot with all the extra side sauces and dressings we asked for. Will definitely be back. I had to let everyone know.“

“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!“

“BOGO Wings Mondays!!! Bartender Reese is the best!!“

“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!“

“Best burgers in central Florida. Fresh ground beef. Smashed, seasoned and cooked to perfection. Amazing Mac and cheese. Exceptional customer service. 10/10 can't recommend enough this is gonna be a new regular now. |“

AMAZING!!! Beverages? WONDERFUL! I have not been disappointed in any capacity. Kudos Team ! FIVE STARS!!! 12/13/2021“

“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.“

“I have been coming to Briar Patch since i was a kid when it was an ice cream store... Celebrating a friend's birthday and her first time there, especially busy as always on Saturday... Sat at the counter... We had The breakfast quiche which was amazing, and my ole favorite California Benedict. Pleasantly surprised how quickly the food came... Absolutely scrumptious as always...
I still can't get over the cherry tomatoes instead of beefsteak tomatoes, an unfortunate change...
Last but not least. Our server Camila was amazing, great suggestions on a cocktail, and was very informative and helpful, she made the experience one of the best visits i have had here at Briar Patch, Thank You Greatly Camilla, you are the best!!!“

“We’ve been to all three Hangry Bison locations. Winter Park was our first and quickly felt like home. Winter Garden kept the magic going, and now Lake Mary has us just as hooked! This place has become our go to spot. Great food, amazing drinks, welcoming atmosphere, and service that makes you feel like family. I highly recommend. The Hangry Bison never misses!“

“Fabulous family owned restaurant that draws locals back! Regardless of whether I’m having breakfast or lunch, I ALWAYS order their Hungarian beef & cabbage soup!“

“Really great wine bar in Winter Park. Great selection of wines! We loved the cheese and meat boards and the flatbreads. We sat outside which was lovely. Our server, Julie went above and beyond to make our afternoon special - massive thank you to her.

Small downsides - very popular so difficult to get a table - wouldn’t recommend for a massive party. We also thought it was a bit cheeky that they charge $4 just to get the wine card.“

“Amazing Burgers and bartender. Kelly was amazing and one of the best burgers we have ever had in the area. Will definitely be back. Looking for a local area and I think we found it.“

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

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

“I had a chance to catch up with one of my girlfriends for a beautiful brunch today. I enjoyed the chicken and waffles and cranberry mimosa!“

“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! 🎉“

“[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 loved this place, I visited it yesterday with my family and everything was excellent.

The food was very delicious, reasonable prices as well as the atmosphere of the place is very relaxed, the music was at an acceptable volume, the bathrooms were clean.

They have chairs available for small children as well as a varied menu for them.

We had a great time, thank you for your attention. I loved the decoration ❤️“

“Highly underrated place … one of the best crepe places in orlando , honestly don’t think there is another place that’s better in the same class“

“A One-Stop Spot for Food, Coffee, and Fun Vibes!

Orlando Milkhouse is such a hidden gem! It brings together three amazing spots all under one roof — Milkhouse for food and cocktails, Foxtail Coffee, and an awesome little ice cream shop. I got to try all three and loved every bit of it.

I ordered the DK Onion Smashburger and added tomatoes from Milkhouse, and it was delicious — juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right. I followed it up with an espresso martini, which was the perfect way to sample Foxtail's coffee in cocktail form — smooth and well-balanced.

Of course, we had to grab ice cream, and it did not disappoint. I mean, when is ice cream ever a bad idea? The flavors were rich and creamy, and they weren't shy on the scoop.

The interior was definitely a vibe — fun, stylish, and perfect for hanging out or grabbing pics. I almost forgot to mention they have an event calendar for the month as well! Whether you're there for a quick coffee, a great meal, or just a sweet treat, Milkhouse has something for everyone. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“The fried shrimp were absolutely incredible! Each piece was cooked to perfection, with a golden-brown, crispy coating that had just the right amount of seasoning to enhance the flavor without overpowering the natural taste of the shrimp. The shrimp themselves were plump and juicy, providing a satisfying contrast to the crunchy exterior. The portion size was generous, making it a great value for the price. If you’re a fan of perfectly fried seafood with bold seasoning and a great texture, these fried shrimp are a must-try!“

“Went for lunch with the family on a Saturday afternoon. The customer service was excellent! The food was tasty, we had a good time. The veggie burger and onion rings were delicious. The kids meal was properly portioned. If you’re a man that eats a lot my husband recommends 2 burgers. Other than that, great meal and service. Stephany the manager gave us free ice cream to top off our meal. Definitely recommend!

Vegetarian options: Veggie burgers, fries, onion rings“

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

“This place provided me with one of the best fast food experiences, to say the least. PJ, the manager goes ABOVE and BEYOND every single time. He knows how to take care of his staff and understand every single one of his customers. the food was outstanding super fresh, the restaurant itself was super clean and the service was very, very fast!“

“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!!“

“I love going to sonny's in oviedo and Micki is the best always having a good time“

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

“We hadd dinner at Metro Diner last night and our server, Nick was awesome. He was very attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the new baby back ribs on the menu and my husband had the philly cheese steak. Both meals were excellent, the fall off the bone ribs were very tasty and hubby said his philly cheese steak was on of the best ever had. Check them out and enjoy!“

“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.“
