“I would give the experience at Soseki a 4.5/5. The service was impeccable; attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly: 5/5. The atmosphere was a 4.5/5 because I felt the music was a little too loud to converse with my partner at times. I give the food a 4.5/5 because it was locally and internationally sourced showcasing the wonderful and vibrant flavors of Central Florida and Japan; however, during one of the nigiri portions, my partner had a rather large fishbone that got caught in their throat. Otherwise, it was an exquisite experience, of which I commend the chefs and the staff, especially for the detailed seating arrangement I requested. This experience is worth the price of admission.“
“Today Apr 25th, we dined in and Shane was our server. We always luck out having Shane serve our table. He’s a Pro all the way. This location was remodeled a few years ago and is super nice. We usually get takeout here every other week. I think drive-thru wait times are improving. All in all this Sanford location has been great and we’ll be back. Thanks Shane!“
“We sat in the bar area, ordered a truffle loaf. You can't miss with that. Huge cocktails selection. Everything was delicious. I went with a friend who is a former chef and still works in the food industry, it is his favorite place in Orlando.Parking: It's a super popular place. When I got there parking was that an absolute minimum and you had to do valet. I drove around the block to find free street parking.“
“Had an amazing first time at Maya cafè! Took my mom for a birthday lunch for our first times & everything was incredible!! The space is beautiful with lots of art to look at. The menu is wonderful & everything was fresh. I ordered the Steak tacos & they were fabulous! Make sure to ask for a side of the cilantro dip, it was my favorite! & the corn dip ???? the owner gave my mom a slice of key lime pie & it was easily the best key lime pie i’ve ever had! I told them I would be back to buy an entire pie & i wasn’t kidding!! Don’t think twice, visit today!“
“Our family loves the Strand! Tonight we came to celebrate my birthday. Paul, our server, was personable, knowledgeable and charismatic. The food was terrific! My son’s favorite is the soft pretzel with pimento cheese appetizer. My husband loves the octopus. And my favorite is the fish fry which is so light and crisp with delicious house made slaw. The strawberry chiffon pie was heavenly!“
“We came in on. Wednesday evening. There was a good size crowd but we’re were able to get a table. We had a Margherita, and a Fig and Prosciutto pizza, a roasted Beet and Goat cheese salad and Olives. The salad was excellent, beets properly prepared and the salad well dressed. The pizza was authentic, wood fired oven Neapolitan. The wine selections are great but a good bit overpriced in my opinion. The service was excellent. Great place. Will return.“
“Song selection was great. My server Maria made me feel welcome took my order with no errors. The frys were perfectly salted and crispy while not being to dry Adrian did a fantastic job with the frys. My patty was jucy and flavorful luben demonstrated fanominal feel for the grill. My berger had the perfect amount of Lettuce and fi souse on itOverall great experience will come again“
“The food was delicious, but the prices are high considering the portion size, and everything else is an additional cost. If you're not careful with your budget, you could end up paying $50 for a small bowl and getting hungry 30 minutes later.“
“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.“
“Boyfriend was craving a burger and didnt want the below average meal. Saw the great reviews and decided to go.Owner was super sweet, greeted as soon as we came in. Explained the menu and how to order. After we sat down he brought us a cookie Food was actually really good. Mine was super simple but very well seasoned. And the fries were fresh and perfect. Its reasonably priced for what you’re getting. We’ll definitely come back.“
“Was there for lunch, had pesto chicken flatbread and potato leek soup - both were delicious. Also had Belgian chocolate s'more dessert cup; love the size of the dessert cups here- just enough to hit a sweet tooth craving without being too much food!“
“I wanted to start by saying that our waitress, Yaritza, was great! My girlfriend and I tried the new catfish sandwich on the menu. The sandwich was really good, and the ingredients tasted fresh. I personally loved the chopped pickles that are included in the house made tarter sauce.“
“I’m from Upstate NY and came to Orlando for a birthday retreat with my daughter and mother. We had just came from our hotel to grab a bite to eat. We were starving and needed somewhere close and quick white wolf was just that place. Initially, when I ordered, I wasn’t too crazy about my selection and the server, Amber was very helpful with alternatives. We enjoyed the atmosphere so much that we decided to go back the following day for brunch and it was amazing. The mimosas. I had the country fried chicken. My mother had shrimp and grits, and my daughter just had a traditional breakfast with turkey sausages but everything was really really good and the next time I’m in Orlando I’ll definitely be back!“

“Wow! This place is a gem. The baked goods are out of this world. Particularly, the cheddar jalepeno biscuit is to die for! Everything on the menu is pretty good, but the bake goods is the sweet spot! Lol Try this place out, you wont be disappointed.“
“After a glitch in the system cancelled our order for our training session at the office, Mike jumped into action to make sure we got our lunch. He bent over backwards and even delivered it himself! Lunch was delicious! Thank you for saving the day, Mike!“

“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.“
“It has been a while since I've been there. I wanted to go somewhere different and it's very difficult in East Orlando to go somewhere different cuz there's a lot of junk here as far as restaurants are concerned. So I went there since it's been awhile and wanted to experience what it's like an hour days and it was good. I was thinking about having some wine with my salad my Asian salad and I tried some hummus with pizza they were both pretty good the salad of the two being the best.“
“Had been a while, maybe a couple of years, since I'd been, but I definitely won't make that mistake again. Every single thing ordered was on point. Sleepy little gem in Sanford serving elevated takes on Southern favorites. Came for a late dinner (9 p.m.) and ordered our way through small plates tapas style. Every single thing was lovingly and expertly prepared. One incredible standout was the Tomato Mac. When it was brought to the table, I thought it looked like it would be a little bland and watery, but OMG, the flavors and texture in this dish were incredible - a sweet and savory delight. Another standout was the chicken liver mousse. Chef's kiss! Also worked our way through hoecakes and the sticky ribs - the meat of which just fell off the bone. They were expertly trimmed and the Asian inspired glaze was to die for. Also sampled the cheddar jalapeno biscuits and the mushroom angolotti - all delicious. For dessert (all made in house), the cornmeal pie was to die for. Also had the smoked salted caramel ice cream, which was quite unique and inventive, as were the biscuits and chocolate "gravy."Even though the staff and kitchen were surely ready to wind down close to closing, we received excellent and gracious service and everything continued to be executed with great care and skill.I will definitely be sure to visit much more often! Compliments to the owners and staff!“
“I’m gluten and peanut free and love that I can feel comfortable grabbing food here. The options and portions are a good size for the price. My online orders are always ready on time and the staff is always friendly.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options“
“We were in town for a volleyball tournament this weekend. We called mid-afternoon to make a reservation for (13). We were seated promptly upon arrival at (2) different tables (one for the girls, one for the Moms- as we requested). The service was excellent and the food was even better! I don’t typically order burgers, but I ordered the Smokehouse burger and TBH, I am wishing I could have another one tonight! Everything was absolutely delicious….everyone LOVED their meals. Not one issue with (13) meals! The music and atmosphere were amazing too! We just had the best time here. Please open a location in North Florida! We really enjoyed our visit!“
“Food is ABSOLUTELY MIND NUMBING GOOD!!! From the appetizers, to the entrees, to the desserts, you cannot go wrong!! But the SERVICE was ASTOUNDING. Josh was one of the best waiters I have ever had. On point, friendly, and he made the entire experience twice as good!! Will recommend this place to any and everyone and tell them to ask for Josh! Don’t walk there, RUN!Vegetarian options: I’m vegetarian and made it work with sides, apps, and salad. It’s delicious and versatile.“
“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“
“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“
“SBC is our go-to stop for lunch and a growler refill when we fly into Sanford; we've come to expect really good food and service which is what keeps us coming back. Our most recent stop was on Thursday and our server was Chris. The bar has been set high in the past, but Chris was exceptional. He chatted a little, checked in with us regularly, and was always working. Without exception, just when we would think we were ready for something, he was magically right there on the spot. Very impressive and worth noting. We had the pretzel bites and grilled mahi sandwich. Food was really good as usual, but the service was especially worthy of a shoutout.“
“We come across this establishment by a recommendation from an associate, and we enjoy dining there. If I am not mistaken, the staff said they cook and prepare sauces all in-house. The hospitality and service from the staff is equal to Chic-fil-As.“

“We've only recently discovered Fredsters on the recommendation of a friend. Love the laid back rock n roll vibes. It's been pretty packed both times we've been and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves. Great music, nice wait staff and good drinks and clean bathrooms. Looking forward to our next visit. Who knew there was a gem like this hidden in the business district of Maitland?!“
“Pizza Yolo as close this location, which is in the shopping plaza where the Winn-Dixie is. This pizzeria did not last long, barely a couple of months. It is always fair to see a small family business fall to the wayside. I see there is a new pizza place opening up in the same location. I wish them better success.“
“SoFresh is such an excellent eatery. The food is always good and the overall quality is excellent. I have utilized them for catering and it is always just as fresh as when you eat in the restaurant. Always look forward to using them for catering.......“
“Just celebrated my daughter's 11th birthday here. We did the Gellyball room and the arcade play time. The girls had a lot of fun. Our host was Kim - she went above and beyond to make the party amazing and to accommodate our needs. We are overall super happy with the experience. Highly recommend!“
“Mike was my server Sunday, March 10th. We had music outside with Lauren Carder Fox. The weather was great and service was perfect. Mike was very engaging with my party of 3 and a baby. The food is always great. I had wings and a quesadilla split with my girlfriend. My friend Andy had grilled cheese, 2 orders of wings and a mac and cheese bowl. Half of that was to go home for dinner since his wife is out of town and he has the baby. Always a great experience at Sanford Brewing Company - Maitland. Thanks Mike.“
“The Old Jail House is a has great food and great armosphere in downtown Sanford. The menu is small, but the flavor and execution of the dishes is on point. Also, had a old fashioned cocktail that exceeded my expectations. The way the incorporate tge jail theme throught the restaurants is brilliant. Reserve a table days in advance on the weekends or you may not be able to visit this gem.Parking: The City has a free parking lot a block from the spot but its gets pretty congested during the weekends. The on-street parking is free but difficult to come by at peak hours.“
“Great little spot with an open mic. music jam sessions on Tuesdays! This does cause a very loud atmosphere. If you don't care for that, this isn't the place for you. Food is standard bar options, but it is prepared well. Staff is friendly and pleasant.“
“First time I go to this place. The lady was very polite. Took my order and explained some stuff to me. The bloomin Onion that came with my sandwich. It was awesome. It tastes just like if I was in the restaurant. It was great. I have to go back and try the steak salad. That salad also looked good. But next time. Sorry I wasn't able to take a picture of it. I was so hungry that I needed to eat it. It smells so good. Thanks“
“I just want to say what an amazing place this is. We have been here many times and every time service is on point and food is amazing! We’ve had Taylor and Yez as our servers and they are both AMAZING! Tyra is so wonderful and remembers us every time and makes sure to take very good care of us! Jenna the bartender makes the perfect drinks! This place is where we should all be spending our money at. Not corporate places. They truly care about our experience! We will definitely be back!!“
“Good service , friendly waiter . Sat outside and enjoyed a very pleasant wine recommended by our waiter . Live music was a plus (although it was from next door from a public performer ) . Cozy vibe , Would recommend ? will try some of the food next time .“
“Love coming here for cheap beer and a little fun! My boyfriend and I were recommended to come to this place for the longest time. Yesterday we finally gave it a shot. We parked in their large parking lot and walked right in. It doesn't look like much from the front, but when you enter, there's a lot going in. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall sports bar. Different games were playing in the TVs and the decor is very authentic. It will remind you of your Uncle's house who used to play professional sports back in the day. Our bartender, Rachel was very attentive and made sure our beers were never empty. They also have an ATM machine to pull out money to play billiards and darts. The foot traffic was crazy and it got pretty crowded when we were about to leave. It's definitely a hangout spot for the locals and they are very welcoming to new comers!“
“Probably my favorite location! Off the beaten path, this location is my favorite. The staff is super nice and helpful. I love that this is a safe, welcoming space.This place has a really cozy space outside. Fills up pretty quickly. I took my partner for the first time and loved it! Don't be afraid to try the flavors are they are seasonal. Make sure to add some toppings and ask for milkshake options!“
“Girls night out was a blast, first time at this restaurant and we loved it, the place was so beautiful, the food is amazing but what made my day was the service, Katie is Da bomb!, she was so attentive and friendly, we � her, she really made us feel welcomed we will definitely come back again and again.“
“First time at Food Factory, ambiance was good, service was great with Annalise at the bar! She was very attentive, gave great drink recommendations and overall was super friendly. The food was good, we had nachos from the cantina but was a bit overpriced. Overall a good experience but a bit costly.“

“Food was good, solid Mac and cheese you would expect from this style of establishment. It’s not gourmet but I enjoyed the cheeziness of the chicken parm bowl I got. The service was exceptional though and made the experience great. Austin greeted us, walked us through the menu and was patient with our requests. I highly appreciate that we got checked in with during our meal as well, that’s not something you see all the time in this casual setting. Bonus points for the 90’s hits playing in the background, it brought me back to eating Mac and cheese on the couch while watching tv as a kid.“
“I'm not a fast food chicken guy, but my daughter was in town, and she likes Magoo's. I've got to say chicken was hot, moist, and crunchy! I'd ordered a sandwich, and got a wrap delivered to table. I guess my reaction let the Magoo's person know something was wrong and they fixed the problem with no further questions. That's good service! Thank you for a great lunch!Parking: Front and rear end entrances have parking available. Backside has more.“
