“I love this bar. Been driving past here for years and decided to stop in. It’s not fancy, but if you like a small hole in the wall where the people are nice, you can smoke in there if you are a smoker (I don’t smoke, but like a smoke filled bar). The pours are really good, no skimping here. Tara & Linda are just awesome, they know how to make an Old Fashioned! I’ve seen them make many other cocktails, they know what they’re doing. It’s definitely worth checkin’ out!“

“We decide to do take out for dinner! Did not take long to prepare. The steak quesadillas were delicious especially when you combine it with the Mexican rice & salad that comes with it & the Birria Ramen was very tasty, my daughter loved it as it was hers! Highly “
“Met project control ladies there and must say a nice place. Great tex/mex style food, fresh and tasty. Sat outside and most comfortable.Server was a little distracted, but didn't impact teams reunion.Definitely say, give em a try.PS: Did I say Margarita? Refreshing.“
“As a bucket list item, this was definitely worth trying! From the minute you walk in, you are greeted and welcomed to a nice, romantic ambiance. The servers are extremely friendly and knowledgeable which made our visit comfortable. The drinks and desserts were out of this world! If you want something unique to explore, this is definitely the place!“
“I have never had mead as amazing as the mead from Zymarium Meadery. Each mead has its own personality, there are so many unique and wonderful flavors. Every single one is so carefully and perfectly crafted, I had a difficult time choosing a favorite. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. I absolutely love the decor, the art is classy and beautiful. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend visiting Zymarium. Joe and Ginger have created a truly one-of-a-kind experience. And I will definitely be back!“
“It’s our go-to date night. The sake-tini is the most delicious drink, always with a seasonal flavor. Servers are always wonderful, and one night my hubby asked the server to “Bring us your three favorite things off the menu” I was so nervous but it was wonderful to try something I wouldn’t have, and it was delicious. Love this place!“
“One word describes our evening at Nonno's, magnificent. My friend and I were looking for an Orlando gem and we found the perfect place. The food was deliciously made with love and care. Every bite was so flavorful. We both sat there savoring our food. We began with the bread and pesto. The pesto was so good we even dipped our calamari in it. Our entrees were Fettuccine Alfredo with shrimp and Lasagna. The flavors were soooo good. You could tell that fresh ingredients were used in the dishes. I cannot say enough how much we loved our food. The owner came to our table several times. He was so warm and welcoming. A perfect compliment to our meal. Definitely put Nonno's on your list.“
“We hosted our annual work event here and everyone had an absolute blast. The staff was attentive and everything worked out as planned. We will definitely use this establishment again for future team building experiences. Everything was clean and plenty of space to just hang out if you don't want to throw axes.“
“I haven't been to Orlando since graduating Full Sail in 2014 so I came back for a visit and stumbled upon Cheba Hut Toasted. Ms. Jean and Shai were the best servers I've had in a long time. The customer service was A1 from the time I walked in the door. The food is outstanding, the mimosas are amazing, and the atmosphere will keep you here all day! Also Carol was is one of the best General Managers I've seen run a business in a LOOONG TIME! If you're in the Orlando area, PLEASE STOP HERE!“
“Love arcade monsters. It is so much fun playing the classic arcade games and game consoles. The price is great and Harper is an amazing hostess. She is full of energy and so nice to interact with. . If you haven't visited go you won't be disappointed“
“Updated 04/11/2024 - Yum. Came in for dinner. Sarah was a great server, helpful, knowledgable, and friendly. We both had Caesar Salads which were delicious with seasoned Bread Crumbs instead of Croutons. I had extra anchovies added and they were wonderful.My friend had the Flatiron Steak Frites and I had the Texas Redfish with Black Lentils. The Redfish was sauteed until crispy and cooked to perfection.My friend had the Key Lime Pie which was very good and I had a Meyers Lemon Pudding. Yum. We were very impressed and very satisfied.P.S. Got a meh response from management.5/21/2023 - Came in for lunch. Sat in a booth in the bar. Had a Caesar Salad with Grilled Shrimp added. The Romaine was really rusty on the ends, the dressing was good. The Shrimp were flavorful but not they seemed under-cooked a touch and were only so-so.My friend loved his Quiche and Grilled Escarole Salad. Our Server, Cat, was about a two at best. She seemed like she didn't like being a server or working a Sunday lunch.-----------------Yum. Came in with a friend for lunch the other day. Sat in a booth by the bar.My friend had a Lunch Box with the Calamari Lettuce Wrap and Grilled Romaine and French Fries. That came with Coffee and Soft Serve Orange Sherbet with Vanilla. He loved everything.I ordered the Kale Salad with Grilled Shrimp with a side of Sauteed Broccolini. Everything was fresh, well-cooked and delicious.Our service was spectacular with Aaron. He was attentive but not overly so, friendly, helpful and accommodating. Service with a nice smile and attitude. I will ask for him next time I'm in. And I will be back.Sorry no pix.“
“I've been coming to this launch spot since my childhood in the '70s, and it's always been a go-to for locals looking to paddle or just chill. Over the years, it's changed a lot, but it remains a fantastic place to start your canoe or kayak adventure on the Wekiva River. It’s also a perfect spot to just hang out and soak in the natural vibe.“
“First thing I want to say is the food is AMAZING. I got the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich for brunch. There were 4 options in heat, I got it hot… and it was HOT. If you’re a spicy person, it is just the right amount of spice where you can still taste the chicken. SOOOO good. Cole slaw and sauce on the side for your personal tasting and I dipped it both which made it so much better. I also got the roasted beets as an appetizer and it was a VERY refreshing welcoming dish to open up the gates. They have a very diverse menu and accommodate vegan/vegetarian eaters. My friends got the burger and chicken and biscuits. I got the pleasure of tasting both and OMG. ALL THEIR FOOD IS DELICIOUS. I also got the “My Boy Blue” blueberry beer that reminds me of the Sea Dog brewing beer which pairs SO well with the hot sandwiches. The staff is awesome. The atmosphere is welcoming. Overall a great experience. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place. Drop it on your list of places to visit if you’re a local or tourist.“
“We happened to come across this place accidentally while walking around Downtown Sanford. We loved the concept and the bartenders were extremely friendly and helpful. The bartenders put a lot into making their drink menu. This is probably one of our new favorite spots. We ordered The Cartel Experience, The Industrialist, and The Conservative Lady.“
“It was our first time drinking kava and it was truly incredible! This place is super, the service was excellent, they explained everything to us and we finished with some delicious cocktails! The vibe of this place is incredible! I would definitely go again!“
“I can't say enough good stuff about this place. I enjoy this place amazing food for being a bowling alley I couldn't believe it. I have a couple beers play some pinball what could be better than that? On Friday nights they have unlimited for a flat fee that is a great time I enjoyed it immensely. Very clean establishment and they switch out pinball machines quite regularly.“
“Celery City is one of my favorite places in Sandford! They have like 50 rotating beer options so if you're a beer fan this place is for you. The bartenders are always cool. They don't mind giving you samples before you make your selection. This place has outdoor seating and live music some nights. Highly recommend!!!“
“Attended the Tyler Booth concert. This was my first time here as I was vacationing. What a great venue for concerts. I believe my bartender during the concert was Lilie or close to it, was very nice and served cold Yuengling! Concert tickets were cheap for hearing 3 performers for over 3 hours. If I lived in the area, this would be a regular stop.“
“My husband and I recently tried Kava Culture and are obsessed! First I want to say the service we’ve received by Stacia twice now has been absolutely incredible, she is so sweet, so knowledgeable and helpful, couldn’t say enough good things about her. This place has been somewhere we can go to for date night and feel social like we’re out at a bar without alcohol and still have a great time, all of the drinks are delicious and we’re excited to keep coming and trying more! Highly recommend!“
“My #1 favorite brewery around Orlando. Beer quality and selection/variety is incredible, staff is consistently amazing. Their kitchen is great, when it's not open, they always make sure to have some of the best food trucks in the area out front. Underburg minis are always a great finish!“
“Alejandra was an excellent server and the food at Pepe’s Cantina was great. The ambiance was outstanding because our party of six got an awesome table by the sidewalk on a beautiful night and Pepe’s outdoor atmosphere was first-rate. Would definitely go again. Thanks again, Alejandra!“
“This place is incredible. The atmosphere is such a vibe. Juan greeted my friend and I with a huge smile and positive energy that was contagious! Mary, the sweetest, most amazing server I’ve ever had!! She made great recommendations and she did not steer us wrong. The Shrimp Etouffee is out of this world. You can even do half shrimp and half crawfish. AND THE BEIGNETS!!!!! Don’t get me started on how hot, sweet and delicious they were. I will definitely be returning! Juan and Mary, THANK YOUUU!“
“We happened upon this gem tonight and are so thankful we did! We relaxed while enjoying the beautiful pianist’s music, a cozy, intimate atmosphere and superb food. The service was attentive, friendly, and responsive. They paid attention to us even as we waited for a table without reservations. We plan to return next weekend. What a find! Highly recommend Piano!!“
“This place is over must go whenever we are in Sanford! I absolutely appreciate design and atmosphere. Everything is high top well composed. My husband had CHI CHI drink which is a cool pinacolada drink and I went wild and tried the ASTRONAUT. HIGHLY RECOMMEND BOTH! Personnel here is always friendly and fun! ?“
“OMG, our dinner was sooooo delicious. Started off with Blue Crab Deviled Eggs, amazing. We ordered the 85 Day Aged Prime New Your Strip, and it just melts in your mouth. We also got the Wipped Mashed Potatoes and Creamed Spinach. The sides are large enough to share. Everything was incredible. We were very impressed with the whole experience. The manager came over and spoke with us for a while to make sure everything was to satisfaction. Our server kept checking on us and made several suggestions on other wonderful things to try. We ending dinner with a lots of leftovers which they boxed up for up. This is a very romantic atmosphere for the perfect date night. This is going to be our new spot to visit. Wow!!!“
“What can I say? The old lady and I were not disappointed. (She’s not actually an old lady, I just like to mess with her). Don’t go here if you’re expecting there to be sun. It should be called great drinks and chill vibes-room. But I can see why they didn’t go with that name. Sunroom was recommended to me by two buddies, their names are unimportant to this story as they chose to not come by.. We came on a Wednesday night and it was super quiet in there. We sat at the bar and were helped right away. Love that we were served water without having to ask for it (it’s the little things). It was spotless in here, styled beautifully. Definitely a great place to bring a date for sure. The playlist was on point. On to the drinks, why you’re actually still reading this far.. I started with the Jalisco Inferno and she started with an Appletini. Both were crafted carefully and tasted amazing. 10/10 x2. We then tried Saturn, & Blue Haitian again, the attention to detail and flavors on these drinks were wonderful. She wasn’t a big fan of the Blue Haitian (if you like fresh ginger go for it, this drink was actually nuts) we swapped but I loved Saturn as well. 10/10 x2 again. It’s clear the bartenders care about what they do & it reflects heavily in the drinks they craft. We left to Hawkers for some food but we popped back in for another Appletini & I went for the Cafe Bandito this time. Let me just say if I had a drinking problem (I might), I’d want one of these for breakfast everyday (I won’t) It was phenomenal. 100% will be returning to try more of the menu out.There were a lot of rocks in the parking lot. If we all show up with a sling shot one day we could probably clear them out pretty easy. Just saying.“
“Made it to Pop Thai Restaurant for my friend's birthday. The only miss for me was the Golden Tofu. It had no taste at all. The sauce didn't help and we tried other sauces to no avail so we ditched that. It was just fried plain tofu. I had the crispy duck and it was delicious including the Panang curry sauce and a hefty portion. I'd say that I personally prefer regular duck more rare and not fried. It was a bit too well done and charred for my taste but if you like it that way, it was well executed. Don't miss the shrimp app! And, the 'birthday' donuts as a dessert with the sweet dip were incredible. They do any spice level which is fantastic. The servers were super nice but REALLY bad about clearing dishes even when they were stacked 5 high. I ended up having to take them away myself so we could have room to eat. We would go again. Also, the location is fantastic (not the parking) with several places to get post drinks before or after. We hit Pour Choice and Sunroom afterwards.“
“You want a cozy place to grab a beer and dawg? Patties is the place. The vibes are immaculate and the the food is fantastic. Charlie is the Michelin star chef of the dive bar world and Kat will make you a cocktail meaner than her bite. I highly recommend if you are looking for a place that knows your name and what you drink.“
“I am very pleased with this lovely place, worth the drive, food was fast and delicious, and there was a nice outside seating area with a bar under a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. We had a little issue with one of our meals but the manager was SO Professional and went above and beyond to make it right. Very very good customer service ??? for sure we will come back. Also the theater area was clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the movie and customer service there too.“
“This place turned me into a beer enjoyer lol. Very creative flavors, and a wide variety. The bartenders are all very friendly and kind. This place is fun, but never rowdy, and the artist alley is a super cool touch. This is a great place to relax, and enjoy a beer.“
“I've been to a few of these locations around the state and had to swing by for a lunch prior to the Auto Train in Sanford.The garlic parmesan wings were recommended by the server and she was 100% correct. Crispy ski and a light creamy sauce coating combined perfectly. None of that oily, greasy garlic parm sauce. Really good wings.The pizzas were similarly fantastic - mostly due to the crust of course. They use a particular crust there and cook them perfectly with a little bit of crisp.went with 4 stars on service and atmosphere merely due to the fact that they were not busy at all yet we were seated in the corner of the building and the food delivery was a bit slower than you'd expect for it being not busy on a Saturday. But I guess you could factor in that the food was cooked perfectly so... probably worth the wait.“
“Absolutely thrilled to share my experience at JINYA Ramen Bar in Oviedo, where culinary excellence meets impeccable service. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance transported us into a space where tradition and modernity blend seamlessly. The star of the show, however, was none other than Steph. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel incredibly welcome, as if we were guests in her own home.Oh my heavens The menu at JINYA is a delightful journey through flavors and textures, each dish more compelling than the last. The ramen, a symphony of rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and expertly prepared toppings, was an absolute revelation. Yet, it was Steph’s recommendations that elevated our dining experience to new heights. Her knowledge of the menu and her enthusiasm in sharing it added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal.“
“The Guesthouse has become my ultimate go-to for a chill night out in Orlando. Great bartenders, nice crowd, good music, easy parking, and modern yet cozy vibes. Even though they don't serve food, it looks like they host some food vendor pop-up events and one is allowed to bring in food from Black Rooster taqueria next door (I've never seen anyone doing it though). Their sister bar, Sunroom, is well worth a visit if you want a change to a more sophisticated and quieter ambiance and expanded cocktail offerings.“
“The food was great and the service excellent. I had the bangers and mash with the onion gravy...highly recommended! Hubs had the steak and mushroom pie and he said it was good. The only two downsides of the place was the broken clutter laying around and the very dim lighting in the ladies room. We will definitely return next time we are in town. Hopefully they will have the pear cider by then!“
“We have visited here a couple of times and enjoy it every time!! A wonderful live Blues music venue which showcases amazing artists! Their food is good nabd the staff is helpful and very friendly!! You will always have a great time when you visit!!!“
“Absolutely incredible spot. Great bartenders, very expertly curated beer selection, creative sangrias, fun vibe, great music and is connected to the best pizza in Orlando. It's truly not to be missed, and I recommend to anyone looking for real Orlando culture.“
“Had a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE TODAY ? I’m a regular here and after my last experience that wasn’t so pleasant THEY MADE IT AMAZING Tamar our server was full of energy the manager Felicia was absolutely amazing and the GM ALEX WAS FANTASTIC CAME OUT AND SPENT HER TIME WITH US ABOUT OUR CONCERS ASWELL AS ALEX WE R SO Appreciative for this experience EVERYONE MADE SURE WE WERE TAKEN CARE OF MADE SURE THAT WE GOT EVERYTHING FIXED THANK U ? FOR THE Wonderful hospitality here we will always be regulars. Thank you for making it right. God bless you and your wonderful staff that make it so Enjoyable to come here“
“Wonderful food, the waiter who served us was incredibly friendly, the service spectacular, the atmosphere too calm, all the waiters attentive, comfortable prices and very clean. Totally recommendedVegetarian options: Excellent salad optionsKid-friendliness: Excellent for children, the hamburger and cheeseburger are quite good“
“Ive been coming here for a few months now and it is the only kava bar I’ve ever become a regular at. Due to the fair prices, and consistency of doses I can come here daily. It’s greatly disappointing when you have a great experience somewhere, then go back and it isn’t the same. They’re kapow is not for the faint of heart, it is my regular drink and there is no other kava bar in the metro Orlando area that brews anything close to the strength of it. In terms of vibes, it is always chill, there are always people, mostly regulars. I totally recommend anyone check this place out, whether you are in the area, or just visiting.“
“Tim was our server and he went above and beyond. Wanted to give him a massive shout out as he made the experience tonight (3.25.24) that much better.Check in was easy and helpful. Did not catch the young ladies name.Food was fantastic. Came out very quickly, and was cooked very well.All around a great experience.Kid-friendliness: Yes, we went with our two boys 6 and a year and a half.“
“Mel was our bartender at The Basin. As a previous bartender with many years of experience, I can say that she is at the top of her game! With multiple customers, we still received top notch service! As she was putting away inventory, she dug through a box to make sure my old fashioned had its luxardo cherry ?… which in my opinion elevates the cocktail. Thx Mel, I’ve been coming to the basin for awhile now; you are another reason I’ll return!“
“What a pleasurable experience! First as smoker I appreciate the fact that you are allowed to smoke on the outside. I had the shrimp and grits it was AMAZING. You had choice of sides but very limited and nothing that really went with the shrimp and grits so I got fries. The wait staff was really nice. I would totally return again. Oh and they have proper pint size glasses unlike “The Station”Kid-friendliness: I see kids here but no kid menu that I could tellWheelchair accessibility: Level with sidewalk“
“Hadn't been since University, pizza is still delicious and big and I love I can choose toppings for just a huge slice.Pizzas do feel thinner since a while ago I remember being able to easily one hand them but now they droop.Parking sucks“
“Twas a dark and stormy night in the 8th layer of hell the lost souls of the East know as “Orlando”. As the clouds shrouded the sky, I stumbled into this saloon for shelter from the impending Burning Rain of Death. The rake behind the counter, Garret, kindly offered me a libation to which I vehemently obliged. Before the cold glass met my lips, I was frozen in my chair by the sight of a wicked woman with fiery hair the locals know to be Winnifred. We spoke wildly into the night of spooky dino chickie nuggies, Disney +, Malibu potions, and cauldron maintenance, of course. She lent me her boOooOooOok and I would love nothing more than to return it to her, as it won’t stop staring at me. If you see her, please do let her know I would love to reconnect, and would also take her up on Billy’s number if she’s indeed done with him.“
“Uncle Lous is more than just a unique dive that supports Orlando’s music scene. Lous is a safe haven for anyone and everyone. A place you are not just welcome to come and be yourself, but where you are loved for it. Lou is one of the most kind, generous, vibrant, and all around beautiful human beings you’ll ever meet. You are treated like family the second you walk through the door. A thrilling environment, killer music, adventurous, and always the best time. One of the most vital pieces of Orlando. Lous is my favorite place in the world.“
“I’ve been going here for years since 2012 and I must say it’s the best place in town the owners are very humble and make sure you feel very welcomed and comfortable. Since my wife and I moved to Tennessee we come back to visit fl and always stop to see our cheers family. Hands down 10 out of 10 if u havent been your missing out!“
“Friendly staff, good bar food, reasonable prices, was a great low key environment to watch an NFL football game on TV that was unavailable locally, since they have NFL Sunday Ticket, they are a Dolphins bar, through & through... But I went when the 'phins weren't playing. They have an okay selection of beers, and for a place that doesn't seem to be much of a cocktail bar, they were able to make my girlfriend a very good French 75.“
“nice friendly atmosphere, two pool tables nice and clean and both of them don't cost a quarter at all. personally that's why I come here they have tournament every Sunday and they got some guy in here to knows how to cook every now and then you get a nice little plate of food to satisfy your stomach.“
“Seen this place for many months and wanted to stop in.Over 40+ options for tap.Food options are typical bar food options but presentation seems slightly upscaled.Music is chill and the Lost Coast Watermelon I had was tasty. Didn’t taste like watermelon but I also do not have a refined pallet.The beer was definitely tasty.I will be back.“
“I’ve been here a couple times since i found it and everytime has been amazing!! Everyone i’ve interacted with have been very kind and helpful as i’m new to kava. I’d like to note specifically Elijah made my last visit there memorable. It’s refreshing to see people who enjoy their job and offer genuine fun conversation.“
