“I really like the place, and the owner is really personable. The flavor profiles at this restaurant are terrific. However, my chicken wings (although very big) were chewy and tough like a turkey leg, and I had a couple of legs that were still bloody in the middle by the bone and then I stopped eating them. Other than that, I feel like it's a good place. I'm going back to try it again in the near future, so please check back in with me to see my updated review.“

“We have eaten both at the restaurant (ticked away in a little strip center in Apopka) and for catering for my son’s birthday. The food is delicious and Zach was great to work with. They make the best waffles and their veggie pot pie has so much flavor. Their chicken sandwich and handmade potato chips are also so good and portion sizes are big! Highly recommend them for catering and if you just want a great bite of freshly made stick to your ribs southern cooking.“

“Everything about this place is amazing. The people here are so friendly, the food tasted great, there's even a little bakery connected! I got the spicy Buffalo sandwich and it was perfect. Not overly spicy. There wasn't anyone else here at the time but I hope this place has busy moments to keep it open.I will say 45 dollars for 2 sandwiches, 2 fries and 2 drinks seemed pricey. But having a good experience helped justify the price.“

“Hands down the best seafood I have had in a very long time. I was lucky to try this great food at a food truck Friday. The chicken and shrimp, my wife and 3 year old enjoyed. I went with the shrimp and crab. It was amazing. Fresh cooked to order. It came with potatoes, sausage and an ear of corn all smothered in this amazing homemade butter.I could go on and on about how great this meal was. And normally I don’t write about food, but this deserves 5 stars and more.I hope they are back in my town again next month because I really want to try the lobster.Great customer service and great people all around. Give them a try and you will not be disappointed.“

“I loveeeeee me a good drag show! Everything went smooth as far as getting reservations. Parking is a little hard to find unfortunately but we ended up finding a lot we paid $10 to park. When we got there it did take a little bit to get greeted by our server but they all were super apologetic. I loved how all the staff worked together to make sure all tables were tended to. Everyone loved their food. I unfortunately didn't get my food due to the kitchen running out of what I ordered but that was ok. I'm came into this knowing how this goes so I understood it was a chance to not get what I wanted. I do think the menu needs a little updating to more simplified dishes but they had a few great choices nonetheless. The show was great. The main queen did seem a little exhausted but she was still great. We absolutely loved the other two girls and their acts. Just an overall fun time!“

He was extremely friendly & accommodating. Not only did they make sure the food was brought out extremely fast but they also got the to go boxes & check to us fast. Also brought her dessert & sang to her getting the entire restaurant involved. All of this and we made it to the bus in time. Food was great as well. I highly recommend the stuffed shrimp. Thank y’all so very much. You made her birthday so very special.“

“We recently visited The Townhouse Restaurant in Oviedo and were really impressed. It's a great spot with a clean and comfortable vibe, perfect for a relaxed meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and they can accommodate fairly large groups.The service was excellent. Our server, Rihanna, was super attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Refills on the sodas were free.The food was delicious! While they offer a wide variety of Greek dishes, including my fantastic Traditional Greek Gyro (the meat was juicy and not dry at all!), there are also many other alternatives on the menu. My wife loved her Greek Village Omelette, but they also have plenty of non-Greek options to choose from. Plus, the fries were on point – crispy and fresh-tasting, not greasy.Overall, The Townhouse Restaurant is a solid choice for casual dining in Oviedo. The food is good, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Plus, it seems like it could accommodate larger groups with its spacious seating options. No matter your taste, they likely have something for you! I'd definitely recommend checking it out!Parking: Plenty of free parking.“
