The vibe at this place is amazing, it's a nice place to get a cold beer off Virginia. They have a decent beer selection. We ordered the Johnny Mac & Cheese and a grilled cheese. The sandwiches don't come with sides, which was a bit disappointing given the price so we ordered the side of waffle fries. The grilled cheese was so bland, it was just bread and cheese, very odd. No salt or seasoning. The Johnny was also surprisingly bland, especially given the various flavors. The fries were over seasoned and over fried. I love a crispy waffle fry, but these were dry and almost hurt the roof of my mouth? Overall I'll be back for a drink but I'll pass on the food.

Absolutely love Gnarley Barley. Everyone is always so friendly whenever we are there. Excellent atmosphere. I would eat the cheese curds everyday and never get tired of them. They're hands down the best in all of Orlando, probably Florida. Pickle dip is also a big hit in our family.

Went here with some gfs for lunch today and had a great time. Indoor & outdoor seating, along with some fully covered vs umbrella seating. Dog friendly, and some easily accessible water bowls which is a nice touch. I've been here before and only had the cheese curds, so they were a must again this time because who doesn't love fried cheese? Also got the OG Brisket Taco which wasn't really it for me, but wouldn't stop be from coming back and trying something else. Burger nights are Tuesdays only, but plenty of other options to try! Awesome location. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking for an easy/chill vibe!

Awesome staff, delicious food, and great vibes! Our favorite place to visit to stop for lunch when we're on that side of town. A nice beer menu too!

Easy relaxing family bite during the nice weather on the porch. Orange chicken sandwich (pretty cool concept!), al pastor taco and now I don't remember which other taco!

The service was great & it's a really cool place to hangout! The chicken tonga tacos were nothing to rave about... But the beer cheese with fries were ?

First time visitor. We were greeted immediately. All the staff were really cool and made sure we were good. The atmosphere and food were great. I loved the waffle fries! I decided to get a BLT but with cheddar. The pickles are amazing. I really enjoyed everything and highly recommend to check out this spot. Great view, service, food, and overall service. I think it's cool everyone helps everyone so you don't have to feel awkward grabbing someone to get you something.Kid-friendliness: I saw a few kids, seems really kid friendly but it is on a very busy street.

Wobbly table, no kids menu, watery iced tea, sub-par food, one person serving with 10 tables or so. Response to owner: It happens! Other reviews seem to indicate that we may just have had bad luck. The service wasn't great, but I don't know anyone who can adequately keep up with 10 tables.

We love their happy hour! Happy hour is from 4-7 and offers an awesome selection of food and drinks. We recommend the nachos with chicken, margarita and Paloma. Be sure to ask your server about the specials. I had a delicious cheesy brisket taco, where the cheese is melted before adding the meat. If you enjoy spicy be sure to ask for the haberno salsa. Oh and I would be doing this place an injustice if I didn’t tell you they have the best waffle fries worldwide!

Food is always good here, and service is top-notch. Get the cheese curds, you won't be disappointed!Parking: The parking lot is not huge, so if you go when it's busy, you may have to find street parking or sometimes the lake highland prep parking lot (on Alden St) is open. It's a short walk from there, but you can also check out a bunch of other great spots in this area, like Ivanhoe brewing, GB's bottle shop, and hideaway bar.

I had the sub salad and it was very good. Our server was exceptional. The restaurant was a little too loud for my taste.
