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

This was a random outing from a TikTok and I'm so glad we ended doing it. We saw they did bottomless mimosas on monday which an amazing thing. The food was delicious from the beignets to the aardvark burger were some of the best I've had. Dj did an amazing job helping us and was very attentive give and friendly. The restaurant itself had so much character and wasn't too loud inside for my grandma who accompanied us. We will definitely be coming back the next time we can.

Finally went down to visit our friend Zachary Downs and have brunch. Officially the BEST chicken and waffles we've ever had! Chicken thigh cooked to perfection and sourdough waffles to die for! The blackend shrimp were also amazing (we asked for "lightly blackened"). New brunch spot for sure; will be back soon!

This place deserves 10 stars alone for being the only food grade CO2 refill place in Orlando, but they go out and beyond to make sure your CO2 tank is cold before being refilled, so that you get more liquid gas in the tank (I mean they could've easily refill your tank "as is" and make you run there twice as often, doubling their CO2 refill business income). Their burgers are legit, while service is just simply awesome.

I had never heard of this prior to maybe a few weeks ago - and SHAME ON ME! What a delightful surprise and treat this place is. It's located on Fern Creek and the parking is a bit small, so be cognizant of that. I carpooled with friends which was probably wise on our part - so, we did not have to worry about a ton of cars trying to park. Anyways, enough on parking. Time for the good stuff! The restuarant is not big It is definitely on the quait side - but it has a nice charm about it. We went on a Saturday and they had a live DJ playing tunes outside (we sat inside and the music permiated indoors). Since we were a large party, they staff - who was amazing - happily pushed a couple tables together to accomodate our group. It was not too busy - and even when it did pick up, the staff kept up well with the demand. The overall service once seated was exceptional. Our waittime upon ordering was pretty quick - so no complaints in that department. Again, the staff was amazing and very nice. Now on to the food. The food was really good. In fact, I plan to return to try out their regular menu since at the time were there for their brunch. With that in mind, brunch was a good vibe. They offer $15.00 bottomless mimosas and sangrias. If you do not want to do a bottomless brunch, you can opt an get a drink from brunch cocktail menu or choose ANY of the beers they have in the cold storage along the back wall. Like the true Brunch Queen I am, I went with the bottomless mimosas. They do, I must note, have a 2 hour drink limit, so be aware of that. As far as the actual food goes, it was really good. I ordered the Southern Beneddict which included a house-made biscuit, blackened catfish, poached eggs, fried heirloom tomato, hollandaise with home fries. Though, the catfish could have been blackened a bit further for me and the totmatos fried a little harder, it still tasted great! Everything, mimosas included, slid down easy. Even my friend's dishes looked great. Across the board, everyone loved the food. Overall, like I noted earlier, this place was a delightful surprise. I am so glad they are now on my food radar! I will recommend to anyone looking for nice, chilled brunch vibe with food that is worth it. Also, the price points are reasonable. So, that is also a plus! If you have not been or heard of them, do yourself the favor and CORRECT THAT. Get over to The Aardvark ASAP! You will not regret it!

Honestly, probably one of my favorite places I’ve been to in Orlando since I moved here. Great food and selection on the menu. Also good wine and beer offerings. Definitely a gem in Sodo!

Today I went in to casually speak with the owner, as I like to learn about local businesses. The bartender was very friendly and made the experience better, however the owner was sort of rude. I am not saying I am entitled to anyone’s time, but a little kindness goes a long way as a business owner. the place seemed clean, the staff is nice, but the owner couldn’t seem to care to represent the establishment in such a manner. I’ve met with countless business owners, and I’ve never had an experience like this! This doesn’t represent the business as a whole, i’m sure it’s a nice place, but after the first impression I don’t feel comfortable returning.
