“Our first time here last night for Jimmy Buffett day hosted by Rob Nicholas. Highly recommend this place. The food was amazing and our server was the best we have ever had. The owners Courtney and Steve treated us fantastic. They gave us special gifts for coming and were always around talking to everybody. They made us feel so welcome. Plus you can rent boats here and there is an Inn if u want to spend the night. We will definitely be back. Very worth the drive. Beautiful evening view as well to end the evening.“

“Food, drinks and atmosphere were great, but the service was was even better. Shout out to Jessica for making our first visit Ford's Garage amazing.“

“I just drove 40 minutes out of my way to come here because I love it so much. I know there are other locations, probably closer, but I love this one the best. The owner, who is always present and in store, is very kind and accommodating!! I usually get their little warm turkey sliders and they are PERFECT.

Against my better judgment, I came on New Year’s Eve about 30 minutes before close and was greeted with so much kindness when they definitely should’ve been irritated that I was there right before closing AND the food was phenomenal!! 10/10“

“The best Burger in the USA.“

“It’s was amazing Rudy is one of the most humble people I’ve met in a long time. I have went 3 times in on week to eat there. The food is amazing but besides the food being great. Rudy is an amazing person with a story to share. If you are in the Groveland area please stop by the orange trailer for an amazing experience.“

“Just picked up a bold and buffalo bowl and it’s DELICIOUS. can’t wait to come back and try another“

“Was here with a group of 6 people. Twi of us had the turkey club and we both had the same feeling. It was the best turkey club sandwich we had in our lives. Period. The bacon was extra crispy, the toast was crisp on the outside and soft just under the crust. Everything was great, even the fries were crisp on the surface and pillowy soft and creamy on the inside. My problem is I always have the same thing whrn I find something I love......Now I'm locked into that sandwich. The other people were happy with their selections too. We ate outside. Here is an interesting point. The tables were picnic benches, BUT you can walk in from the sides because there is no structure in the way of your legs. Very innovative and comfortable seating..... even if you're older.“

“Thank you! A perfect lunch experience for the Golden Agers of Bay Lake Missionary Baptist Church. We picked up lunch for 35 members and it could not have been any easier or better.

“Just hosted a ladies’ luncheon for 13 at the Clermont Beef O’Brady’s. Our server, Marlene, was organized, friendly and quick. She followed up through out the event and ensured everyone was taken care of. John, management, oversaw the event and provided assistance, as needed. The kitchen team was on the mark. The food was served quickly, proper temperature and delicious. All of the ladies were pleased with their experience and food served. Thank you to John, Marlene and the kitchen team for a fun and delicious luncheon.“

“As part of our Hamlin Center “extravaganza,” where we were hopping around and grabbing one item at each place, we decided to stop by Maple Street Biscuit Company in Winter Garden, and it did not disappoint. We went with the Squawking Goat, and honestly, it might be one of the best biscuit sandwiches we’ve ever had.

First, the fried goat cheese was perfectly cooked. It had just the right amount of tang and creaminess, and the crisped exterior added a nice texture contrast. Combined with the piece of fried chicken, it created a satisfying bite that was savory but not overwhelming. The sweet chili pepper jelly topping added a hint of heat and sweetness that tied everything together beautifully. I appreciated that they didn’t overdo the toppings, each component could shine without being lost in sauces or extras.

Then, there’s the biscuit itself. Maple Street consistently nails it, and this visit was no exception. The biscuit was golden brown, soft, and fluffy, with a slightly crispy bottom that just fell apart in your mouth. It had the perfect balance of buttery flavor and lightness, which made each bite melt effortlessly. The craftsmanship that goes into the biscuit is clear, and it’s one of the reasons their sandwiches stand out.

Overall, the combination of flavors, textures, and attention to detail made this stop a highlight of our day. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant felt clean and welcoming. Even though we were only grabbing one item during our mini food tour, it was clear that Maple Street Biscuit Company takes pride in every sandwich they serve.

If you’re in Winter Garden or the Hamlin Center area, I highly recommend stopping here, whether you’re a biscuit lover or just someone looking for a perfectly balanced, flavorful meal. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their menu, it’s that good.“

“As a customer for about three years I've seen a lot of servers come and go.
But Chrisy is my favorite she takes good care of me and if I have guests she's right on top of there needs and she always makes sure everything is okay.
Thanks Candace“

“We've been coming to the IHOP Clermont location specifically because of the service. The team here is absolutely exceptional, especially because they do their best to recall each person that walks through the doors. Gabby, our server, took extra care of my daughter by giving her an extra novelty drink free. Chris, my usual server, made sure to check on us periodically, even though we weren't sitting in his section. The obvious team building and relationships with each guest is very refreshing, especially in this modern age.“

“Today was one of my favorites. Smoked turkey sandwich with fries. Others at the table had briskit with green beans it looked great, and pulled pork with tots and Mac & cheese. All good food the restaurant was very clean and Sean provided great service.“

“I haven't been to a Steak 'n Shake in years -- I had the PLEASURE of eating at the Clermont location and all I can say is WOW -- Excellent service and delicious and HOT burger and HOT fries!!! I had Ron help me on my first visit and the gentleman in the evening was just as helpful -- Way to run a business!!!“

“Always a great experience“

“Lexy Mack is an amazing Assistant Manager at Buffalo Wild Wings, and it truly shows in the way she leads and supports her team. She’s organized, approachable, and always on top of things, making sure both guests and staff feel taken care of. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and genuine care for people make her a huge asset to the restaurant and a pleasure to work with and be served by.“
