50 Best American Restaurants near Maitland

“This Mom-and-Pop Cafe is a hidden gem! Beautiful cafe seating, a lot of plants, and trees in the seating area, and not only do they treat you like a guest in their home, but the food is exceptional, with several tasty, healthy options. Try the Chicken salad wrap!“

“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.“

“excellent restaurant in every way 😎👍 highly recommend“

“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.“

“We love coming to Eden Bar for a cocktail and some bites! The service can sometimes be slow so be prepared and don't go when in a huge hurry, but the food is tasty, the servers friendly and the drinks lovely! They do fun holiday cocktails as well which I highly recommend. They are also dog friendly and the workers know our dogs and always come say hi. Love this place.“

“Came for trivia tonight, not a cheap ppace to eat at but I'd give the food another try, otherwise I enjoyed my time at trivia, it was quite fun and I liked my waiter (glasses and magic jersey on), was very attentive the whole night, never was left waiting. Would come back.“

“Maxine’s On Shine is a first-class neighborhood gem in Orlando’s Colonialtown.
With its warm, eclectic vibe and charming patio, it offers excellent food and genuinely outstanding service. Standout dishes include lobster ravioli, crab cakes, and creative brunch items like chicken and waffles or lobster omelettes. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and well-presented.
Whether for a romantic dinner, happy hour, or weekend brunch, it consistently delivers a memorable experience. Highly recommended.“

“We had such a great experience at The Monroe. This place honestly deserves the hype. The food overall was excellent. Nothing we had was bad, but some dishes definitely stood out more than others. The jalapeño popper deviled eggs were insane and easily my favorite. The General Tso cauliflower was perfectly crispy and flavorful and ended up being my husband’s favorite. The fried chicken is huge and comes with what feels like four sides, so it’s more than enough to share. I’m very picky about mac and cheese and theirs was genuinely impressive. The bread pudding was unreal, it comes out like a crispy brick on the outside and soft and gooey inside. Drinks were great too. The Flamingo drink was really good, and their iced lattes were surprisingly amazing, not just good for a restaurant but actually good. If I had to be picky, the s’mores and the warm potato salad were just okay compared to everything else. Service really made the experience. Our server Sarah was so bubbly and kind, and her recommendations were mostly spot on. We also had a situation where a child tried getting into our car. We mentioned it casually and didn’t expect anything to come of it, but she immediately took it seriously, got the manager, and he went out right away to handle it. That level of awareness made us feel taken care of and able to actually relax and enjoy the rest of our night. The pricing was honestly kind of shocking in a good way. We ordered three appetizers, a large entrée, two alcoholic drinks, two coffees, and dessert and it was right around $100. Overall, great food, great service, great pricing. A couple things I wouldn’t reorder, but the things that were good were really good. We’ll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

She was incredibly attentive, so if you have her as your server, please consider leaving her a generous tip she really excels at her job. The food was fantastic, and the photos turned out really great. Emily also recommended some great spots to visit while we’re in Florida. Overall, she was fantastic and made our visit memorable.“

The customer service is always amazing, the restaurant is consistently clean, and the food tastes incredible every single time. I absolutely love coming here and I’m never disappointed.

“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.“

“We have made several visits to The Wine Room. There are plenty of wine options in a wide variety of price points. The food has always been good, especially the Blue Cheese Potato Chips, Wild Mushroom Flatbreaf, and Blueberry Brie. This particular visit the potato chips were a miss. I never tasted Blue cheese or the hot honey but one incident doesn't create a negative review. Overall, this is a place worth visiting, particularly if you want to taste a variety of wines in a relaxed atmosphere.“

“Great service good food selection😎“

“Had to leave a review about our visit this afternoon at Winter Garden location. First of all the fried calamari was the best we have ever had! All,of the food was great!

They both gave us great recommendations and were spot on! The endless shrimp, sirloin and crab legs, plus a Pasta Bar and small plates make the brunch a great deal!! I ordered off the menu and loved the flatbreads and burgers! Highly recommend! Flavorful diverse food menu at affordable prices! LOVE! I will definitely be back!“

“Grabbed a smash burger at Milkhouse, and it seriously hit. Super flavorful patty, excellent crust, and the house-made sauce really tied everything together. The pickles tasted house-made too, which is always a good sign and added the right punch of acidity.

The whole experience felt artisan without being pretentious—quality ingredients, done right. The atmosphere fits the Milk District perfectly, and the location makes it an easy stop whether you’re already nearby or intentionally heading over.

Solid food, great vibe, and definitely a place I’ll be going back to.“

“[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 🇺🇸“

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

“While on a business trip I found this place just a few blocks from my hotel. My co-worker and I were both very pleased with the food. I am a sucker for a good steak and blue cheese. The wedges with the blue cheese and balsamic we're fantastic, steak cooked to perfection. Bruschetta was an excellent starter and I recommend it for my fellow bruschetta lovers out there. I'm not spelling her name right probably but kadesha was our waitress and she was very attentive and friendly. Thank you.“

She was very pleasant personable and made us feel like we were old friends that came to visit. Karen was so helpful and attentive to our needs and she even threw in some good ol’ humor to make us laugh. Thank you again for your service and we look forward to seeing you again! Dale L.“

“Huge rave!!!! I just got home from dinner and have never been more pleased. I have Celiac Disease and a wheat allergy. My server, Sydney C., was knowledgeable about the GF options and even double checked with her manager. She even brought up cross contamination before I did and assured me it would not be an issue. I was actually able to enjoy a meal with my family at a restaurant, which is not something I have been able to do in a long time. Thank you so much for being so accommodating. We will definitely be coming back.“
