“Thanks to Christin and Joshy at Copper Rocket for working with me on my birthday party last night. I appreciated the the stage help, and hope everyone in the entire space enjoyed the live music.Leighann and David took great care of our 50-60 guests, keeping food and drinks coming out, serving cake, and cheerfully managing so many separate checks.This party had been postponed since 3/2020; happy to finally have everyone together.Definitely recommend this space for similar events. I was too busy to eat anything, but heard lots of compliments.“
“Just went again today for lunch and as always had a great time. They were busy but I could tell that the staff was hustling. I got the pesto pasta and it was DELICIOUS!! Found out they have a trivia on Tuesday nights so we might come back tonight for that!AMAZING food! The pierogis are out of this world. So many TV’s for football and such a great vibe! Try their Cookies n Cream Martini!“
“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“
“Love Pizza? Check. Love Detroit Style Pizza? Check. You've come to the right place for it, as this local spot is absolutely delicious!Ordered the Detroit Rob City Pizza and BBQ Chicken Pizza, and was extremely satisfied with the slices! The pizza comes in a square, and if you order a small, you'll receive 4 slices.The good: The Detroit Rob City Pizza was hands down the best one I've tried here, and would definitely order it again! The pizza dough was fluffy and the toppings were phenomenal.The BBQ Chicken Pizza was great as well, and it was a bit on the sweeter side, so if sweet is not your thing, then definitely go with the Detroit Rob City Pizza.Overall, if you love Detroit Style Pizza, you won't be disappointed!“
“We were in town for a show for the night and stopped in. An amazing section of beers, great sours. The food was really good the pizzas are amazing. And the staff was super friendly.Don't forget to check out the local hot sauce that is made there Mythos Sauceary soooo good I bought a bottle ??“
“It took me years to train my palette to appreciate beers but my oh my, I'm happy I took the time. Now, I am no beer connoisseur, and admittedly, I'm an IPA Lover, but I do appreciate a good craft beer. I also appreciate the fact that most breweries, like wineries, offer tastings. Which aides in narrowing down on the brews you prefer without committing to brews you don't. That aside, like any other brewing experience I've encountered, I asked to try a couple beers to figure out which one I wanted. Or, if I cannot choose, I just do the flight and call it a day! What's exceptional about Hourglass Brewing is that they are pet friendly, so me and my pup can have a grand 'ole time! The pricing is great! The brewery itself is spacious and rustic but with a modern twist! They allow you to bring your own food (because they don't serve any) or you can visit the food vendors nearby or next door! They also have food trucks that frequent the lot! So, fret not, you can drink and eat till your heart's content! As far as the beers go, I, personally haven't met one I didn't like! Again, I am an IPA girly, so I'm pretty easy to please in that department but I do appreciate craft beers and the unique beer blends like, the one I'm drinking today, which is their Imperial Pumpkin Ale (one of their indulgent beers). Again, price point is great. Staff is super friendly and the overall vibes are spirited! I definitely recommend this local Orlando brewery.“
“A great local taphouse with a huge selection, great prices per ounce, and amazing service. The service is really great I've always had plenty of clean glasses to pour my own beer and cider. The NFC band model is super easy to use and they have plenty of stuff along side the drinks board games, sports games, and an outdoor drinking area in the back!The people remember return customers and are super sociable I've enjoyed all my conversations with the employees here and they always make me feel super welcome which helps this place feel like part of the community rather than just a bar or taphouse.Also they do deals for UCF watch parties so if you and some knights can't make it to a game there's always this place.The parking on the street can be a little short but there's a big lot in the back and this area is pretty central to alot of cool things like the record store next door and alot of great local restaurants.“
“This cute Food Truck space is nestled between other eateries. It's Taco Tuesday so had to hit them up with the crew! The tacos were soft shell with crunchy chicken, veggies and the secret sauce! We had a BLAST eating in an open space ? with good food and even better people?“
“Absolutely incredible spot. Great bartenders, very expertly curated beer selection, creative sangrias, fun vibe, great music and is connected to the best pizza in Orlando. It's truly not to be missed, and I recommend to anyone looking for real Orlando culture.“
“For the blind/visually impaired:Large open space, clear lanes to walk between tables. Bar is to your immediate left. No stairs or elevation changes inside. Initially, I couldn’t find the bar, but after asking an employee, he saw the cane and got the picture. Staff was helpful and read out the menu, helped with the door on the way out. Particularly appreciated the help of Tanner and Dan.Wheelchair accessibility: Large doors, open area with no stairs“
“The coolest bar in the Milk District! Tasty Takeover (multiple food trucks) on Tuesday night is awesome. Live music on first Fridays of the month is always spectacular. The owners are the only staff, and are the friendliest bartenders in Orlando. You have to check it out!“
“This is my favorite brewery by far. The beer is excellent and something new is always come out. My favorites are their sours. The staff are the best and great at remembering people. We've made friends with several of their bartenders.The taproom is full of memorabilia and fun murals on the walls. There's a long line of pinball machines and a mystery vending machine. They also have a mini game console at the bar and a variety of board games and comics to borrow while you visit. They don't sell food, but you are welcome to bring in outside food.Hourglass holds really fun events and lets you use their taproom for your own personal event. Right now they frequently have food vendors rotate throughout the months. They also do bingo nights, run club, and trivia nights.There's so many places to sit both inside and outside along the building. Parking is usually always available all around the building but can get full during big sport events on tv or events happening in the bar. If a major event is going to go on, they give advance notice on best places for extra parking nearby.“
“Absolutely love Gnarley Barley. Everyone is always so friendly whenever we are there. Excellent atmosphere. I would eat the cheese curds everyday and never get tired of them. They're hands down the best in all of Orlando, probably Florida. Pickle dip is also a big hit in our family.“
“We were in town for a volleyball tournament this weekend. We called mid-afternoon to make a reservation for (13). We were seated promptly upon arrival at (2) different tables (one for the girls, one for the Moms- as we requested). The service was excellent and the food was even better! I don’t typically order burgers, but I ordered the Smokehouse burger and TBH, I am wishing I could have another one tonight! Everything was absolutely delicious….everyone LOVED their meals. Not one issue with (13) meals! The music and atmosphere were amazing too! We just had the best time here. Please open a location in North Florida! We really enjoyed our visit!“
“If you want some authentic Polish food, come here. It’s a great deli with a lot of selection. It sells out of things quickly so you may have to call to check if they have what you want.Great meat options and just general delicious food.Frozen fresh ready to heat up stuff is available also so you don’t have to figure out how to make this delicious Polish home made food.“
“This place is a hidden GEM! weikiva springs was too packed to get in, so we came here instead. They have their own kayak rentals (or launch your own for $20 each vessel). The place is super cool with nice patio furniture, cornhole, super quality volleyball court, a huge dock along the river to swim/hang out on sitting on adorandak chairs and a huge bar with draft beers and frozen cocktails. They have a food truck too with great coconut shrimp, tacos, fish and chips, among other things. Definitely better than the state park if you’re looking for a more grown up gettaway. You can paddle to wekiva from here. Rick slings is a much farther paddled but you can get there from here as well“
“The service was very good. The person who was attending us was super friendly and made good suggestions. The Po'Boy sandwich was tasty, but the coleslaw was not my favorite. The flavor was a little off. The desert was also not the best either, as it was premade and reheated, which did not taste fresh. The atmosphere is super relaxed and casual. They do have unlimited mimosas for $21 (I believe), which is nice if you want to have several of them. lol“
“We have passed this cute little local place for years, and so disappointed we waited until now to try it! I think this will quickly become a favorite. Add it to your must try. Felt so homey and authentic - the food was delicious! The service was so quick and friendly. We barely had to wait for the food to come out! We will definitely be back! Very casual - no need to dress up! Try the spanakopita - it’s the best I’ve had:) we thought the food compared easily to the local eateries we visited in Greece.“
“It's become a tradition to drop by Tin&Taco before Magic home games! There is always great service, food is spectacular, atmosphere is cozy and clean. The menu has a variety of choices; our tops are the Mac Attack & Al Pastor. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to these craft tacos!!!!“
“What a cool bar. Never been to a gay bar in FL and googled these guys. It's on a main rd next to a large pet store but blink and you'll miss it. The inside has a black dive bar feel but it's huge and once you start looking around you realize it's more than just a dive bar, in fact it's a cool place to hang out. Main central bar, bartenders friendly and service was great. The decor is leather daddy meets golden girls meets J-lo. They have an outdoor back patio plus and another outdoor bar plus another 'showroom' section and even a 'darkroom'(well Im sure for special events) I loved this place and wish I could have stayed longer. Free popcorn, pool tables and a great mix of patrons from young hipsters to sexy daddies. I definitely want to stop here on my way back.“
“Good service , friendly waiter . Sat outside and enjoyed a very pleasant wine recommended by our waiter . Live music was a plus (although it was from next door from a public performer ) . Cozy vibe , Would recommend ? will try some of the food next time .“
“This 4 stars despite delicious food, above average service! And very cool vibes. Very relaxing, foodie was delicious as well. Our service was impeccable. Beer choices great, food was delicious. Etc. Why only 4, call me picky but my reviews are not just about the food and flavor as some TikTok or Instagram posts. It's about the whole experience. And I had one minor gripe which played into the decreased star ratings. It was a Saturday afternoon and I wanted to watch UFC on ESPN. It was one of the free fights. We'll as much as the Twisted handle touts themselves as a sports bar with major channels, they could not allocate a free UFC event! One of the more popular sporting events today is Mma of some type. I chose this as the place to relax and watch it with beer and good food and got everything but the fights. Very disappointing!! I know you probably got one of those packages with predetermined channels etc. Not my problem. It's a sports bar. Be a sports bar. Get a better package! Upgrade! Fire your provider and get another. Sounds drastic, I know....but it's a popular sport I can see at any other sports bar. So until they carry UFC...I won't be returning. Sports bar. Smh.“
“Our first time eating at Slidders and it met all of our expectations!This is the perfect pizza spot!We ordered an 18' pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and feta, and it was absolutely delicious! The owner was very sweet, friendly, and hospitable! They offer indoor seating and it's very clean. We will be visiting again when we're in town!“
