Couldn't tell you anything about the food, but the service is terrible. Party of 4, had to ask for a menu, decided to give it a try. We sat and waited for 5 or 10 minutes, never got acknowledged, so we got up and left. Absolutely terrible for business.

This restaurant has an F score for multiple sanitation violations, including MOLD near food, and I wish I would have checked before going. Tables were sticky, food was bland and overpriced.
Owner’s response to a HYGIENE concern tells you what you need to know about the cleanliness of this place.

Had the Fettuccine Bolognese special last night. So so good. I heard they have a new chef. I'm going to try everything he makes. And as always, Mandy was lovely and efficient.

For the restaurant being short staffed it was a good experience 10/10.

I was shocked to learn that this restaurant’s name is a racial slur. Choosing to brand a business around language rooted in hatred and discrimination is deeply offensive and unacceptable. No amount of “tradition,” “humor,” or excuses can justify normalizing racism for profit.
Beyond the name, the experience itself was disappointing. The food was mediocre at best, the service was inattentive, and the overall atmosphere felt uncomfortable rather than welcoming. Knowing the intent behind the branding made it impossible to enjoy the meal or feel respected as a customer.
Businesses have a responsibility to create inclusive spaces, and this restaurant does the opposite. I won’t be returning, and I strongly encourage others to think twice before supporting an establishment that openly embraces bigotry and hatred.
The food tasted like salted moon crickets, the food was an abomination to moon crickets!

Absolutely awful
We’ve experienced this restaurant a few times before and enjoyed the experience much more than tonight. Not sure what was the issue preventing a decent level of service but it was rough. It was seat yourself inside and outside. We sat down at a table and had to basically bus it ourselves. A server stopped by quite a while after we sat and took the dirty dishes away that we had stacked, she wiped the table, brought us disposable silverware and menus and left us for at least a half hour. Now, tonight was the Downtown Winter Garden Holiday Market and Golf Cart Parade so the city was busy. All of the tables in the restaurant were filled and with seat yourself,there was not a waitlist to get in. They had a “special menu” fir the night that was a little more limited than normal but no big differences.
Once our server stopped by to take our orders, we didn’t wait long to get our drinks. Two of us ordered beer by the bottle, they brought them to the table with plastic cups as they ran out of chilled glasses and one of the beers was served room temperature. Our food was served within a decent amount of time later and fries were our sides. The fries weren’t hot, but they were just ok. The sandwiches we ordered tasted fine.
We were a party of five with just two checks. We gave our server our separate credit cards with the proper bill….the server somehow got confused and charged each of us the wrong bill. Rather than wait fir her to return and ask to have it fixed we just paid what we were charged then one of us sent the other money via Venmo.
We will return to this restaurant likely again…hopefully they will do better next time. You might think that all of the restaurants in town would be better prepared fir a busy evening…but this one really wasn’t tonight.

Right in the center of Downtown Winter Gardens... very clean. TV all over. Friendly staff. Food was delish. I got 9 piece wings (Honey Mustard), my partner a huge Portbello Hamburger w/ potato salad. My grandsons ordered chicken tenders & fries. Even their food was delish. Love how the tenders were breaded. 100% recommend this location. Very popular.
