New American Restaurants near Winter Garden, FL

“I adore Fresh Kitchen - the best restaurant I've found in the area to eat a gluten/dairy/meat free dinner that is also low in salt! That's because two of the managers know my restrictions and automatically put together a delicious bowl that I can safely eat (rice, chickpeas, kale, red pepper, almond slices, etc) - and it's delicious! Yesterday, I took my bowl home, added fresh sliced peaches and avocado, enough then to split into two meals. It was awesome.“

“Amazing Service, and friendly staff..“

“My husband, Al, and I dined at the Chef's Table on Feb 19 2024 and celebrated my birthday. We ordered from the chef's tasting menu and could not have been more pleased. It was one of the best restaurant meals we have had in a very long time. You see I am a classically trained and award-winning chef in my own right so my standards are quite high and I am, more often than not, disappointed in restaurants, even fine dining establishments. Al started with the "Heartbreaker" Cocktail, which was excellent then he had the mushroom and chive crepe torte for an appetizer, exceptional and enough for 2 to share actually so we brought part of it back to the hotel and had it for lunch the next day. He then chose the Duck confit, also outstanding. For dessert he had the chocolate torte with the toasted marshmallow ice cream and caramel sauce, again, beyond delicious and the ice cream was the best thing i've had in my mouth in a long time. Al also did the wine pairing with his courses. I sampled each pairing and they were perfectly matched. I tried the Mr. Pink as an aperitif and loved every drop but the pink peppercorn's stole the show. Then I started with the foie gras. Every bite just brings you to your knees. This was the main reason we selected The Chef's Table to begin with because I had to have foie gras. I chose the filet for my entree and I must say it may have been one of the best filet's i've ever eaten. Cooked perfectly medium rare with a char that was to die for. I brought part of my filet back to the hotel to go with the torte for lunch the next day. Even warmed up it was delicious. For dessert I had the mission fig bread pudding, which had a fantastic texture and was the perfect level of sweetness. I paired the pecan pie martini with it and it was decadent and complimented the dessert perfectly. I did not opt for the wine pairing as a sip of two from Al's were enough for me. Our server, JJ, was attentive, funny, and generous with her time. The manager came by twice to chat with us. The atmosphere was romantic but not stuffy and we had a great view of the kitchen, which as a chef is simply theatre for me. Lastly, the prices were not stupid. This kind of tasting menu can easily run well over $100 pp without the wine pairing. I appreciate the fact that, while affordable, it was elegant and indulgent. We will never visit Orlando again without returning to The Chef's Table and I will recommend it to everyone I know. Thank you for such an amazing experience. Amanda & Al Fraioli“

“Went an hour prior to closing on Friday. Food came out super quick. Everything was delicious as usual! Buey Magoos never dissapoints when it comes to consistency. The guy taking orders was a bit distracted and we had to repeat the order a couple of times. But will give the benefit of the doubt that it was time to go home and he was tired. Everything else was just perfect!“

“Good fast service, clean kitchen, friendly people, and AMAZING food. 100% recommend and will be back. The sausage gravy is the best I've had not from my own kitchen. Come hungry and taste the maple tap coffee ☕“

“Always amazing! Great for any occasion...staff is responsive and food is fantastic!“

“Nice intimate mall-type atmosphere with outdoor eating area. Very nice!“

“My friend and I have been going there for years. We love the relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. We always order the same thing and it is usually quite tasty.“

“Food was delicious and something different than the usual chain restaurants“

“A perfect family dinner celebrating a birthday! Jay was the perfect server-- In fact, we commented on how attentive he was without being a hover-craft :-). Food, as we always have come to accept, was great and plates were cleaned. Thank you Seasons 52“

“The food and service was great. It was incredibly loud though. Had to yell to hear the person sitting across from me.

Kid-friendliness: Don't recommend taking your little one here without noise cancelling headphones.“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“What can I say, I’ve been here quite a few times. Today was my favorite time ever being here actually. I decided to let whatever server I got, choose everything I ate. And Aurora did not disappoint. I asked her about seafood and she told me why the lobster tacos might be the way to go. She talked about flavor balancing between different menu items and tried to explain to me all the showcasing of the different seafood and how it worked for flavor profiles. I asked her about side dishes to go with it. She told me all the standard side dishes and she saw that I was not over excited by any of the offerings and she suggested maybe the premium truffle ranch potatoes might be what I’m looking for. She was not wrong on any of it. Lobster was cooked to perfection and all of the items placed on that taco belong there. She was right the balance was there. I was surprised when I got the fries. I thought it was going to be drenched and something, but it wasn’t. But I tasted the truffle and the ranch and the sauce and the side was perfect next to those crispy fries. I did not want to jinx myself so I had her decide my dessert unknown to her what I was doing. She chose the pistachio bread pudding. Not something I would ever get. It was delicious. I’m not going to lie. My only complaint is it needs more ice cream because it is so decadent and rich. Just get an extra side dish of more ice cream, you’ll thank me. Aurora you are a great server and I hope RusTeak knows it. Thank you for making tonight epic for me. I am stuffed and happy.“

“Nos encantó la combinación de buena atención y un ambiente cálido para compartir momentos especiales con familia y amigos !“

“La comida es deliciosa. El servicio es excelente. Dany es bien cortés y servicial. Volveré.“

“Always a favorite but especially this last trip for the great service! My reservation was for the wrong date and they still accommodated us right away — thanks again! Food and service were wonderful, thanks for the great recommendations from our server.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the most exceptional experience at BJ’s Brewhouse on I-Drive in Orlando this past Saturday for a surprise 50th birthday dinner, and we are still on cloud nine from how beautifully everything turned out! From the moment we began planning, the entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make this celebration unforgettable. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism—from the helpful communication ahead of time to the outstanding service on the day of the event. A special shoutout to our amazing servers Mark, Leylani, and Edgar—you were absolutely phenomenal! Warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, you made our group feel truly celebrated. We also want to thank the management team who ensured everything ran smoothly and welcomed our family with kindness and joy. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event or just want great food and incredible service, BJ’s on I-Drive is the place to go. THANK YOU for helping us create such meaningful memories—we are beyond grateful!“

“Wonderful experience and amazing atmosphere coupled with great service and exquisite food!“

“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.“

“❤️ Absolutely amazing is Mr quick.“

“Marvelous happy hour! We actually had dinner there one night and returned for happy hour the next!“

“Went to Bass Pro not knowing this little grill was outside. Decided to stop by and try it. I was extremely impressed with the flavor and speed of service. I love a good tasting dog and this place has it. I will be going out of my way now to make sure I stop by more often to Bass Pro just so I can get some food there.“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“I have no idea what the people who rated this establishment lower are talking about. The service, food, atmosphere and general ambiance were exceptional. After dining in some of the higher end resort hotels in Disney this Universal treat beats them hands down. Even with the construction maze one has to navigate that may detract a bit one must remember it is not the fault of the restaurant and they more than make up for this slight inconvenience by their service.“

“Green Eggs and Ham Cafe is my favorite snack spot in all of Universal Studios Orlando. The tots are delicious, filling and can even be a quick meal. I had the Who Hash which was fantastic and you get a cute souvenir can. Service is pretty quick and there are lots of seating options nearby.“

“I'm happy because I found a teacher who helped me with my love problems with my husband and everything is going very well. Whoever wants his WhatsApp number, write to me and I'll send it to you. Or search for Dr Adoda on google.“

“Bula Bar seemed like a good place to enjoy the pool, watch sports and take a cold drink. On the other hand, the food is not recommended, at high prices and not so good in taste. Regarding service, my waitress was nice but she completely forgot my pizza order and when I ordered something different the food didn't take long but it wasn't what I ordered. The passion fruit smoothie was good and the Piña Colada was one of the best I've ever had.

Parking: Paid parking garage of the Resort.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great accessibility for wheelchairs.“

“This place has the BEST chicken tenders, I believe I've ever eaten. Everything on the menu is delicious. My favorites are the Buffalo Tender Sandwich, and Buffalo Tender Salad. The Blackberry Lemonade/Sweet Tea "Arnold Palmer" is the drink for me!!! The only negative I have, is their metal chairs, are not comfortable at all.“

“Comida deliciosa, las alitas de pollo de las mejores que me he comido, las Pupusas 🫓, realmente que todo recomendado.“

“I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a place to stay before flying out. I stay at this hotel every time I go down to Orlando and it is very convenient to book for your next day flight. The restaurants are great. The staff is amazing. The balcony view is unmatched. It is a little more expensive to stay here compared to your average hotel, but you won’t regret picking this Hotel over every other one out there. Spend the cash and stay here. It’s worth it.“

“I was always taught , if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. Soooooooo................... I even ask to pay for bread.“

“My husbands ordered a burger and fries and i ordered the mahi salad, and I have to say it was AMAZING. We loved the food and the customer service. They were on top of everything asking if we needed anything with a smile on their face. The atmosphere was very good and it was a clean establishment. Will be coming back for sure.“

“Beer was ICE COLD!!! Lots of TVs, place was quiet. Only down fall for me is that it is a smokers bar. Not advertised as one, but can imagine that would slow business. Only 10 customers in the place on a Sunday. 4 of us were not smokers. Otherwise, good place.“

“This place must have had change in management - no idea why rating is so low. Food was awesome. Gluten free options for my girls were amazing. The GF truffle Mac and cheese was a favorite. The filet steak was really good. Magicians on Friday night was a super fun touch.“

“Backwater Bar is co-located with Confisco restraunt. This is a great place to walk in and get you H2O water or you favorite adult beverage. It is a full service walk up bar with lots of beer, wine, and they can make the liquor drink of your choice. There is no seating inside, but they have shaded seating just outside the door. The staff is friendly and want you to have a nice experience.“

“We went to the Clermont, Sonny’s BBQ location.for lunch. The staff was welcoming when we entered the restaurant. We were then sat at a table and the waitress took our drink orders. She brought us our drinks and took our orders. The waitress was friendly, organized and attentive. We tried the new street corn appetizer- that was really good. The fresh chips went very well with the dip. We also ordered burgers, salad and the BBQ egg rolls. All of the food was well prepared and tasted delicious . I would highly recommend this Sonny’s.“

“I really enjoyed the food and selection was amazing. I has the curry really filling and they give you lots of meat. If you can go on a fri or sat because of the buffet and it's great value. If you are staying at the hotel connected, would highly recommend. Dinner can be $$$ depending on what you order.“

“Whenever you are in Orlando, you need to dine at Fiorenzo! The food was outstanding and our waitress, Ketty, was even better. Her suggestions for apps, main course and desert were spot on! She is fantastic and made our experience even better!“

“This is a Minions-themed café located inside Universal Studios Orlando — a must-visit for Minions fans! The interior is all about yellow, with Minion decorations everywhere. The food is also colorful, with lots of yellow and purple items that look super cute… though the taste wasn’t quite as impressive.

That said, the service was great — our waitress was very friendly and made the experience more enjoyable. Since it’s a concept-focused café, I think movie lovers and fans of the franchise will really enjoy it.“

“good friends,and all the bartenders and servers. best family place to be and if , you show,alone. it's safe ,family,away,from original,family. bikers are welcome. night all. just smile 😍“

“I come here frequently with my friends and family. Food is always great. Much better than raising canes!!!!!!!!!! The manager Sandy, the server Jenna and Candace. Always sooooooo nice and supportive. Above and beyond. They are also very supportive of the community. I have a lot of respect for that. I highly recommend!!!!!“

“Tony and the staff went out of their way to take care of my party. They were very kind and made sure we got everything we wanted . I would absolutely return to this location. And send everybody I know there.“

“Pizza Predattoria is amazing! The pizza was fresh, tasty, and better than most theme park options. Service was excellent! The breadsticks were good, but avoid the salad—soggy and disappointing. The seating area could be cleaner, so consider taking your food to go. Overall, a great spot for a quick, delicious meal at the park!“

“Good family fun Great service“

“I love their pizzas, the staff is very attentive and friendly, and the food comes out freshly made, so you have to wait for it to come out and it's not long, and it's really worth the wait, the cheese breads are delicious. I recommend.“

“This restaurant is the absolute best place we have eaten in the entire state of Florida! My sister, my husband and I wandered into this restaurant a couple months ago & much to our surprise enjoyed our lunch so much more than all the other restaurants we have tried in the area. Fast forward to today - it was Mom's 90th birthday, we wanted to make it special & have a great meal. Black Rock Bar & Grill did not disappoint. Everything from the appetizers, drinks, and entrees were fantastic! We are super picky - not one complaint from anyone in our party. The service was spectacular - friendly, personable and professional! The staff made my mother's day by bringing a specially prepared dessert to the table as a surprise at the end of the meal! Thank you to everyone who made this day a wonderful memory, we will definitely be recommending & bringing our friends/family here! ❤️“

“I had my 40th birthday party at the Metrowest Golf Club and it was amazing! It was practically 1 stop shopping because Andrea Serrano took care of the catering/food restrictions, bar-tending, tables, linens, and chairs. I had been planning this event for a year and Andrea stayed in contact and answered any and all questions I had. All of my guests had an incredible time and I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event.“

“Great service and I got to eat this for free on the VIP tour with two starters, all entrees for each person as well as dessert! Really big portions and great key lime pie! The pad Thai was excellent and almost exactly like the ones in Thailand and the ribs were so nicely grilled! Really recommend to try!“

“Great service and very good and tastey food“

“Went on a Thursday Latin Night. Place was great. Loved the live band that performed classic salsa music. Bartender (can't remember name,,cutie with glasses) very friendly and made perfect drinks. DJ was on point, played reggaeton, bachata, cumbia and salsa. One of the best spots I have ever been to.“
