“justin makes the best expresso martinis“

“Awesome place with super cool people and service! Always love coming here when we visit from Canada 🇨🇦“

“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.“

“Byleigh is one of the best bartenders great fast service with a smile and will make you laugh.“

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

“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!“

“Great tasting healthy food options. They should also consider offering no sugar added versions of Bolay drinks like the Pineapple and Ginger“

“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!“

“We found this place last night while in town for Universal Studios and were blown away. The food was outstanding, but the service was next level. An absolute hidden gem—highly recommend!“

“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 atmosphere to hang out grab a drink and eat great food!“

“First visit to The Porch enjoyed myself immensely“

“This used to be my favorite spot for fry fish but lately I been getting nothing but empty crunch pieces for fish. What's going on? I got charge for two fish but I got only one bc the other one no fish to be found. See the picture of just crumbs“

“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!“

“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.“

“Victoria was excellent! She was attentive and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“We were seated right away, which was such a great start, and our server was incredibly attentive throughout the entire meal. The service really made the experience feel smooth and enjoyable.

The food was amazing! My friend ordered the Nutella waffle and couldn’t stop raving about it. It looked just as good as it tasted. I had the house salad and the truffle burger, and I’m still thinking about it… absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out perfectly.

The atmosphere was also perfect for brunch, relaxed, welcoming, and great for spending time with friends and family. This is definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!“

“Visited during Sunday Brunch and LOVED it! Food and service was OUTSTANDING! Manager Nate welcomed us like family and Kayla our server was also amazing! 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!“

“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! I also wanted to brag on our server Eve. Extremely attentive VERY personable. We thoroughly enjoyed talking to her. Will be asking for her when we visit from now on. Everything was GREAT!“

“Try getting a bartender by the name of Lydia. that acted so unprofessional and dismissive. and makes a scene in front of small children and invites the customer to fight outside. over drinks that she didn't make right. I wonder if maybe she had a couple drinks on the job. humm very disturbing and unprofessional incident that occurred during my family’s visit to JoJo’s Shake Bar at ICON Park on International Drive in Orlando. My husband and I approached the bar because my husband felt his drink was watered down and politely stated that he did not like it. He also mentioned that he had requested a double shot. The bartender, who I was later told is named Lydia, immediately became rude and dismissive, stating she would not remake the drink and insisting she had made it correctly. When my husband calmly reiterated that he had asked for a double shot, the bartender began shouting, accusing my husband of being a liar. Her voice escalated, and the situation quickly became hostile. I asked her to calm down, as there was no reason for that level of aggression. At that point, the bartender told us “we can take this outside,” repeatedly inviting my husband and me to fight. She was jumping up and down, yelling, and causing a scene, despite other employees attempting to intervene and asking her to stop. She disregarded them entirely and continued screaming and provoking a physical confrontation. This behavior occurred in a family-oriented restaurant, surrounded by guests, including small children in strollers and my 11-year-old son, who witnessed the entire incident. The situation was humiliating, intimidating, and deeply upsetting. staff members eventually came out (I believe from the kitchen) and attempted to calm her down and instruct her to go to the back. She refused, continued yelling at him, and kept repeating that she wanted to fight us outside. Her refusal to follow supervision and her continued aggression only escalated the embarrassment and concern for everyone present. To make matters worse, my family and I had driven 2½ hours to visit this location , a restaurant we have always loved and frequented. Because of the scene she caused, we were forced to quickly finish our drinks, place our food in a box, and leave. My son was given a box for his cookie so we could exit as fast as possible due to the harassment and embarrassment. No customer should ever be treated this way , especially in front of children , and no employee should ever invite guests to a physical fight while on duty. As long-time supporters of JoJo’s Shake Bar, this experience was shocking and extremely disappointing. We will not return to this location as long as this individual is employed there.“

“The restaurant was amazing“

“I haven't been to Orlando in awhile but if God is willing the first meal I have when i get back will be here! This place is the real deal.“

“great food, very good and the sevice was excellent!“

“The BEST! If you are looking for the best of everything in a dining experience, look no further then Marlow's Tavern. A true gem! When you walk in, it's too a sparkling clean dining area, with a coziness that envelopes you in comfort with deep colors, and the a/c is just right, the background music is just right, and the hostess finds you a nice corner that accommodates a mobility scooter and the other 3 in your family are comfortably seated in a wrap around booth. The table is not attached to the floor so that even larger members of your party, can be comfortable. Our waiter, Mario was top notch right from the start, explaining to us how the restaurant is a cut above a typical restaurant by making everything from scratch the food and the drinks (even the drink juices and mixers are all made fresh in house) We wanted a tropical drink that was not in the menu, they made us exactly what we were looking for! Then the chef came out to personally greet us and welcome us even providing us with a surprise that made us feel like VIP's. Our waiter described a few of his own favorite dishes. And answered our questions and advised us on the menu to meet our specific tastes along the way. Then came the food!!! We ordered a crab dip with buttered saltines, shrimp and grits, a lump crab salad, prime rib french dip, and asparagus fries. We LOVED every single bite(and ate every single bite, stopping just short of licking the plates) The BEST of everything, each forkful a delight and the best we have ever had! I mean the best crab dip. The best shrimp and grits( 2 members of our party mentioned that they were going to share, it was plated perfectly on two plates, with more shrimp on 1/2 the order then we had ever seen on a full order! The shrimp were succulent, firm, tasty and cooked to perfection.) The prime rib was cooked exactly as it should be and so tender it just melted in your mouth. Asparagus fries we almost fought over, a nice twist on one of our favorite veggies. The food was so good we even had to get 2 desserts to go(we were to full to eat more but it was so good!) that we wanted to try the desserts. As we were leaving, some live music started playing. Our only regret is this was only a quick stop for us before heading out on a cruise. We would have loved to be able to try everything on the menu, it was a difficult decision to decide on just one appetizer and one entree. Go and ENJOY THE BEST!!!“

“Our server Kayci was very pleasant and welcoming. She creates a very positive atmosphere. Our food came out quickly and was delicious“

“First time visiting this spot absolutely had a great time. My server Kayla was amazing. Very sweet & kind. Loved her service if you come to this spot ask for Kayla. My wife enjoyed her birthday definitely recommend this spot for anyone. Kayla keep killing it 💪🏽“

“My favorite for years. Very upbeat vibe! This is why I entertain multiple decades at The Porch. Always friendly, great food, and awesome atmosphere.“

“We were there tonight with a group of 25 and Hannah B knocked it out of the park. She was patient, kind, accommodating and an absolute sweetheart!! Our kids appreciate your work with Autism Society Greater Orlando. Thank you!! We appreciate you !“

“We visited for lunch today. My husband had the Simple Man smash burger and I ordered the honey butter biscuit and onion dip with a half kale salad. The honey butter biscuit was delicious. Perfectly sweet and salty. Slightly grilled. The onion dip was served with house made ranch chips. Delicious. The dip was creamy and rich, but I needed more onions. My husband loved the marinated tomatoes on his sandwich. My kale apple salad was balanced and a great addition to the apps ordered. Would definitely visit again.“

“Great food, fresh steaks and the best wings around. !“

“Great place to take the fam any time of day. Everyone always happy here. Love it!“

“Great place to eat after a long day at the parks!! Plus they have a menu for your furry friends!!“

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

“Worth visiting! Food, atmosphere and service were all great! Donna is amazing and so welcoming and kind. The best chef! We went back multiple times because of her.“

“Amazing experience...ask for Deric!! can not wait to return to this restaurant. It is so much more than a restaurant!“

“If there wasn't a particularly incredible Nintendo restaurant in the same park I would happily eat all three meals per day here and be thrilled every time. This stuff is worth sailing through hurricanes and fighting dragons for. My life is permanently better for having had this at some point. The PB and J was the one I ordered, and I would recommend the same, although I'm sure they are all fantastic. Expect a decently long line at all times, but they tend to serve people pretty quickly due to the limited options, and this just ensures everything is served as fresh as possible. They each cost around $18, but you're in a theme park, I left full, and I would happily pay double that from a restaurant and still be satisfied. I can't recommend this any higher“

“It’s a great place to hangout and meet people and the food is great!“

“What a great surprise! Amazing food in a clean space with a genuine smile. We weren't even hungry, but we stopped for a bite anyway. I had the yummy, hand-dipped corndog and my husband had the polish sausage with onions & peppers. That crisp bun makes all the difference! You have to try this place. I'll stop here even when I'm not shopping at Bass Pro. Kudos to the owner for going the extra mile on every level.“

“Good food for the money. The cashier was very helpful. She made good suggestions. Mushrooms and shrimp cooked properly. Calamari was a little overcooked and chewy but good. Gyros was delicious. Will definitely be back. Very clean seating.“

“The pumpkin 🎃 ice cream delicious“
