Mouthwatering Bars in Orlando

The Yardery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (136) • $$

"Great first-time experience at The Yardery the night of the Sanford Christmas Parade. This is the perfect place to bring friends and family to catch a game while actually playing a few (cornhole, ping pong, etc.). Lovely servers take your order and are quick to offer suggestions, if you'd like. I went with the Yardery Burger (next time, it will be the fish tacos which were also recommended) and fries. The burger is a double smash burger with candied bacon, fried onion, and Yard Sauce - scrumptious! I don't think I waited more than 5 or so minutes for my food to come out - wow! Everything was great and, while I sat at the bar, it looked like everyone around me was having a great time. I definitely recommend this dining jewel just off Downtown Sanford - it's a few extra steps away from the hubbub of Downtown, but it will definitely be worth it. Yum!"

Big Kahuna

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18) • $$

"My party and I came here instead of venturing out when we wanted some drinks late at night. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and tastes wonderful. Exceeded my expectations for a resort bar. This bar is right beside the pool. I ordered the drunken monkey and Kumoho Revenge. The drunken monkey tasted great and the Revenge drink packed a heavy punch. Good times without leaving the resort"

Wall St Plaza

★★★★☆ 3.7 (59) • $$

"This is the part of Wall Street that is blocked off with bars on each side. This space is perfect for block parties, which it is used for often.When I went, it was blocked for a vegan festival.There were plenty of food trucks this time. I went to a Puerto Rican truck and had the best Mofongo I've ever had!The guy running the truck was so sweet! He definitely hooked us up!I'll be back!"

Don Julio - Chickasaw

★★★★☆ 4.1 (814) • $$

"Best dang Chimichanga in Orlando Pretty dang good fried ice cream as well & don't even get me started on the margaritas. They don't hold back on the liquor"

Celery City Craft

★★★★☆ 4.3 (216) • $

"This place reminds me of Citrus City Craft in Lake Mary. If you like it there, you will like it here. Full bar in addition to the extensive craft beer selection. They have Sushi & Seoul just outside in their beer garden area where they also have live entertainment at times. Service is awesome.You can use Sushi & Seoul for food and if you don't find something on that menu to your taste I am sure you could bring it in from somewhere else too. Overall, just a great spot that has a permanent food truck without wheels attached to it outside."

Milkhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (136) • $$

"Who doesn't love a good food hall vibe with solid options for just about anyone?? This place delivers on both atmosphere, drinks, and food. They have a full-scale bar, a sit-down restaurant, a bagel shop, ice cream shop and coffee shop. You'd be hard pressed not to find something to enjoy. There is a mix of seating, and you can order up at the register and get a number to have food delivered to your table, or you can order a drink directly with the bartender at the bar. We were most recently here during an art festival out on the street and enjoyed some drinks and recovery food after walking around. Overall: A+Great food hall, solid option mix, great atmosphere."

Ford's Garage - ChampionsGate

★★★★☆ 3.6 (192)

"Nice place with a great vibe. Everything was good.Jairo was an excellent server. Thank you."

Lazy Moon Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.3 (765) • $$

"We sat outside, so I can't say much except the my small Greek salad was large and the size of piece of pizza is about 1/2 the whole pizza!! The service was quick to bring the order to our table, and never made us feel like we needed to hurry. This is a nice, clean family restaurant."

Magnolia Breeze

★★★★☆ 3.6 (12)

"I've tried the Breakfast & Dinner. Both experiences were great. I loved the mocktails though I prefer my alcohol in the drink, they were delicious. I tried one of the cocktails too. I loved the little duck. It was a nice touch. Dinner was great as well. I had the salmon dish. I would recommend the Mac and cheese be smoked gouda too like the Smoked Gouda Mac & cheese bites we tired. Those were my favorite! Both appetizers were so good. I'd go just to get them. Always keep those smoke gouda Mac and Cheese bites in stock! My favorite thing on the menu!"

Zocalo 436

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"Can I share a secret? Zocalo 436 is local restaurant that serves up some great Mexican food! The spot took over another restaurant on 436 in Casselberry after they closed (RIP). The inside is cutely decorated. There is even a fun mural in the outside of the building.After you're seated, you'll be served complimentary chips and salsa. My favorite dish that I've tried is the birriaquillas. It is very filling. Taco Tuesday is an excellent deal with $2 tacos. As a dessert, the churros with ice cream is the way to go.Service is friendly and fast! I will be happy to return!"

Morton's The Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (288) • $$$$

"Our friends took us to Morton's The Steakhouse for our anniversary and it was nice. This was all of first time at Morton's so I got the 16oz. Cajun Ribeye on the suggestion of our waitress. It was very tasty especially compared to the other ribeye that my friend had. Our waitress was super helpful and courteous as was the assistant waiter. The ambience was what you would expect from a traditional steakhouse. All of our food was good, the lobster, the lamb chops and the oysters and thick cut bacon( probably the best of all) and of course the ribeye is something that I would order again. Overall it was a very nice restaurant and an experience that I would enjoying again."

Dapper Duck Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (136) • $$

"We were in town for the pop tart bowl and found a crowded bar with an empty table. Yay! My peeve is with the waitstaff. I asked if the stand up bar menu on the table was the only menu and was told yeah. Later, I saw a big lit up changing menu board on a wall, and realized most of the other tables were eating great stuff NOT on the little menu we had. We weren't that hungry, anyway-my husband just wanted loaded fries. But people were even having champagne brunches, and I just had a limited pick and got a Turkey bacon wrap. I will say, though, that it was a fantastic wrap. And the bar was lively. My bad luck apparently was a precursor to the football game. Oh well."

The Capital Room

★★★★★ 4.5 (25) • $$

"I absolutely love this place! They have amazing cocktails and the decor inside is gorgeous. It was Midsummer Nights Dream themed when I went and it was fully decorated. I felt like I was in a wonderland. They have different events and themes that go throughout the year. Definitely a great spot to go to if you are ever in the Sanford area."

Bosphorous - Winter Garden

★★★★☆ 4.4 (435) • $$

"My recent visit to Bosphorous in Winter Garden was a mixed experience. On the positive side, the restaurant boasts a lovely ambiance with a spacious bar and large windows, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere. The service was excellent; our food arrived promptly, and the staff were attentive throughout our meal. However, the dishes themselves left something to be desired.We started with humus and babaganoush, which were tasty but disappointingly small for their price. The standout was definitely the hollow bread--it was delicious and worth trying.Unfortunately, the main courses didn't live up to expectations. The falafel, sigara boregi, and zucchini patties were all overly greasy and lacked flavor. While the portions were decent, the quality didn't justify the cost.Overall, while this restaurant offers a nice atmosphere and great service, the inconsistency in food quality and pricing was disappointing. Personally, I prefer dining at places with better value for money and more flavorful dishes.Bosphorous Winter Garden has its charms, but I won't be rushing back anytime soon due to the food not meeting expectations."

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 3 (158) • $$

"We go here several times a month mainly due to the reasonable prices, good food and atmosphere along with the great service we receive from a couple of our favorite servers, like Andrea and Brooke.They offer a monthly margarita of the month. It used to be $5, then went to $6. On Monday, it looks like it is now $7. The monthly Marg is premixed, but depending on the drink of the month, some have been pretty strong.They offer a wide range of food. Most people are probably very familiar with Chili's as it's a national chain but wanted to point out a couple things people may miss out on. The 3 for me deal is one of the better deals you can get here. In some cases, you are paying less for an entree than ordering it by itself on the menu, yet it comes with an appetizer and drink. The bottomless soup and salad is a good option when you want soup and salad and can't decide. You can choose house or caesar salad along with any of the soup choices. You don't have to stick with that choice when you get a refill and it's only $1-2 more than the standard single serve soup and salad entree.This location is managed well and looking forward to visiting again next week."

Loughman Lakeside Restaurant & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (15)

"Can I simply sit on my camp chair and soak up old Florida?? What a great day out.Drinks, service, and food were delicious, albeit pricey. The seafood platter was ok. Everyone else loved the steak sandwich"

Island Wing Company Grill & Bar - Hunters Creek

★★★★☆ 3.5 (205) • $$

"Three star - A-OK!We've been here a handful of times and each one has been very much a-ok. They have that standard bar and grill energy with solid fried food and bar food options. The servers are very friendly and have a consistent ability to take orders and get food out as expected! The place itself has indoor and outdoor seating, as well as, options for high-top, bar, or table / booth seating options. The booths have TVs with the ability to change the channel for your own preferred viewing options, which is a nice touch!They are on an awkward spot of the strip and parking and walking in can be a bit hard for my elder mom as the parking lot is busy, which is through no fault of their own!Overall: BA-OK. Good wings, solid service."

Outback Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3 (207) • $$

"I've been to outback steakhouse a few times, but I have to admit this is probably the nicest one I've ever been to. First off we were greeted right away and seated pretty quickly. Surprisingly didn't have to wait too long on a busy night. Our server was great and the overall service was pretty spot on.Pretty extensive menu with a ton of options. We went with some steaks and combination platters. We all enjoyed our food and the whole overall experience.Honestly, I would recommend this place if you're looking for somewhere to go for the family, a date night or just in general."

The Social

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$

"Bonkerz Comedy Club moved this venue from The Corner (next door) to the Social for the evening. I'm not sure why, but I hope it's a permanent change if it continues to be downtown (I still like when it was at the bowling alley).The lighting on the stage wasn't that great as the projected screen got in the way of the other lighting. They need to light it more from the bar area instead of right above the stage pointing down. Not the best.Most of the seating was those tiny uncomfortable stools with no backs, but the bar had seats that were bigger and had backs to them. I'm glad we were able to sit there.Drinks were good and the big buckets were only $15 which is pretty good for any cocktail these days. They also had lots of choices for hard alcohol and beers available. Staff was great and kept checking in. And the Pizza looked good too, although I didn't have any. I just scowled at other patrons consuming it.Overall, this was a good place with good views of the stage from multiple angles and I'd go here to see a show again!"

Ford's Garage Kissimmee

★★★★☆ 4 (826) • $$

"Good food. Excellent staff. Interesting place with a vintage rustic ford car theme. Check it out!"

Nonno's Italian Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (559) • $$

"I'd been seeing a lot of rave reviews about Nonno's from fellow Yelpers, so my husband and I finally gave them a try. Spoiler alert: we weren't disappointed!Nonno's (which translates into "grandpa" in Italian) is located in a strip mall in Altamonte Springs that off of Semoran Blvd./State Road 436. They don't take reservations so be prepared to wait as they are extremely popular. My husband and I went on a Friday night around 5:30pm and our wait time was 50 minutes.Once we got inside, service was quick but friendly and not rushed. The decor is that of a typical Italian restaurant and they have both table and booth seating. Our food arrived quickly, yet tasted as though it had been slow cooking all day. We opted to start with fried mozzarella sticks as an appetizer and also received complimentary homemade warm bread served with a pesto sauce that I could've drank it was so good! Our side salads before the meal were fresh and my husband said that the homemade Cesar salad dressing was the best he'd ever tasted. For entrees, he chose the lasagna while I chose the chicken pizzaiola. Both were hearty and delicious! Nonno himself was walking around the restaurant- greeting customers - ensuring that everything was at everyone's satisfaction. We will most definitely return!"

The Barn -Sanford

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (30) • $

"The Barn was an excellent venue for a live concert and thought they pulled off a metal show pretty well. There were a number of different bars so you can score drinks in numerous places. The bartenders were friendly and quick with slinging up beers. Don't get too creative with drinks here, it's a keep it simple type of place. Beers, wells, and shots would be my recommendation.Went here to see Iron Maiden Drummer's band "Tainted Tart" (I agree, not the best name) and they had a set up on the "Main" stage area in the bigger area of the spacious building. There were two opening bands (Just Priest and Jetter) playing in the area off to the left when you enter. The neat thing is you cannot hear the other area's music when you're in a different area.The sound was good for the shows but not sure how dependent they are on the bands' staff or if it's The Barn's system. Either way, it takes a village and I was glad I went.It looks like they have other events besides country as well as they had posters for some little people wrestling and other fun stuff. Get there on time or early if you want parking as the lot can get full. It's a decent sized lot and I'm not sure where the overflow parking is.I can't comment on the line dancing and cowgirls and other stuff, but as a pure venue for small scale live entertainment, one of the better ones in the Orlando area."

B Town Burger Sushi Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (42) • $$

"During a Walmart dorm room run for my college junior and then seeking refuge from tropical storm squalls, we googled nearby restaurants and found this lovely little place tucked in the corner of a small shopping strip. We were greeted very warmly. I wanted sushi at first until I saw the burger menu. My B-Town burger was *delicious*, my college student had a feast, he was thankful enough it would last him another meal, the ribs were fall-off the bone tender. The owner makes everything handmade, the buns, the beef patties, everything......nom!!!Such a great deal, so much better than other burger places I have to come back for the sushi and drinks for sure, and my for the burgers and pulled pork. I almost had to roll out of here i was so full lol. Best burger vibes here."

Charm City - Lake Wales

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (10)

"This is one of my absolute favorites! Lobster bisque is amazing very craveable!!!! Shrimp tacos are amazing!!!! Mediterranean salad with grilled shrimp. Very yummy!!!!! And then there's a crabcakes and crabby fries those are a few of my favorites!!!!!!Service is wonderful everybody is so kind and cheerful!!!Atmosphere is very cheerful! With an amazing view!I very highly recommend Charm City!!!!!"

Luke's Kitchen and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (653) • $$

"First time at Luke's and it was for happy hour so it was a win win. Bartenders were nice and attentive and the hour hour menu was well mixed with food, drinks, and desserts. All at a really,really,good price.The apple collins were delicious and so were the calamari. Chip and dip hit the spot. Wings were an 8 out of 10. I would pass in the deviled eggs in the future.They are having ac issues from what it seems, lots of build up of condensation so becareful were you sit, otherwise water will drip on you, as it did on me."

Pop Thai Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.4 (465) • $$

"Sushi at Pop Thai Restaurant is reasonably priced and good quality. I have eaten here twice because it is right next to one of my favorite beer spots in Mills 50.Both times the service was great, but I did take out and ate next door. The place is not really big, maybe affording 10 or so tables. Great sushi here; not sure of the other offering. Still though, both times I was here, the place was packed. And coincidentally, both tines it was raining."

Bahama Breeze

★★★★☆ 3.7 (401) • $$

"Happy Hour at Bahama Breeze was a great option for our work happy hour. They accommodated a large group of 25+ people. The staff ensured we were seating quickly and promptly brought our drinks and food out as well! The drinks were priced from 5-12 dollars depending on your preference and all appetizers were 1/2 off! The only complaint I had was the automatic heaters were not able to be shut off so it was extremely hot even though we were outside. Other than that, it was an amazing experience!"

The Basin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (45)

"It was nothing extraordinary, but the service was great. They sell the most common beers (draft and capped), and the liquor section is insane. The bartenders can make literally any drink you want. From cheap to expensive. Thank you, Bella for being our server!"

Siro Urban Italian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.6 (220) • $$

"I was here for a convention with my daughter so wanted to eat on site. Although the restaurant is a bit loud it is because it is an open concept with no real walls and situated in a lobby area. I actually liked that I could clearly see it before getting seated. Staff is friendly with reasonable timely service. We shared a salad a believe it was called a "farm salad". Whatever it was called it was one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten. It had greens and grains and the dressing was silky and flavorful. Last time I was there I had the Margarita pizza which was good but decided to go for it and get the sausage and pepper pizza and it was absolutely amazing! Will def go back at next years convention!"

Nona Blue Modern Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (965) • $$

"Alright, let's talk about Nona Blue! This place is consistent - like that friend who always shows up on time but forgets the chips for the dip. The food? Absolutely spectacular, no doubt. But here's the twist - the portions are like that one pair of jeans that fit perfectly... last year. We're talking fine dining prices now, people! I don't remember paying this much for the same...I had the lobster pasta, and let me tell you, it was delish - like, call the lobster and thank it delish. But for $25? That pasta came in a side dish-sized bowl with a few chunks of lobster sprinkled on top like they were making a potion. Last time, I swear, I had more lobster and tasted way more like lobster too.Then there's the $11 small pour of Moscato, but hey, it was a date with my hubby, and we'll call it "romantic atmosphere." My husband had a New Fashioned for $16. But hey, drinks are drinks, right?Now, it was a chilly night, but thank goodness for their patio setup - cozy heaters made it feel like a warm hug. So, if you're like us, showing up without a reservation but full of hope and hunger, ask for the first available. The patio is surprisingly comfortable and quiet! But, between you and me, the indoor vibe wins - it's lively, neighborly, and bursting with energy.Pro Tip: Make a reservation on Open Table! You'll skip the waiting game, and trust me, this place is popular. Also, don't miss their brunch menu - much more bang for your buck, and those dishes? Chef's kiss.In conclusion, Nona Blue is like that friend you love to hang with, but sometimes you wonder if they're taking advantage of you... and your wallet. Would I go back? Heck yes, but next time, I'm asking for extra lobster!"

Orange Blossom Hills Golf & Country Club Restaurant

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (58) • $$

"The only reason we continue to return is because of Bee (Bianca)! She never messes up my order, always makes things fun and makes up for some of the attitudes that can fly from other patrons. She's amazing!!!"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (174) • $$

"OK so Chili's is definitely taking the cake this week for cheapest meal. I got a full drink with a double shot of two different types of rum for $8.59; on top of that I got bottomless chips and salsa for seven dollars. My whole meal was only 1595 before tax. I don't know why everyone's hating on Chili's but I'm definitely coming back to try the Tito's strawberry margarita as well as their mango margarita which I heard was really good. The service was super quick I did come for lunch so I haven't come for a dinner service yet; however the girl that's the bartender is also the server for the tables at lunch. The ambience of Chili's kind of reminds me of Applebee's but it's a little bit more upscale I guess. I will also be returning to try some of their other foods I know they have really good burgers and she did recommend the quesadilla bowl minus the quesadillas. 10/10 If you haven't been to this Chili's it is off 535 which is the main street to get to Disney Springs it is also right next to a broken down macaroni grill and a hungry crab."

Wakoola Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.9 (38) • $$

"It was my first time here and honestly I loved it. My family consisting of my husband, four-year-old, and my four month old, and I were on vacation for the first time altogether. The bartenders for extremely friendly and helpful in figuring out what I wanted. Ricardo is very knowledgeable and answered just about everything that I asked drink wise lol. Highly recommend"

1 Up

★★★★★ 4.5 (91)

"This nostalgia-themed bar is everything! I love the Barbie apartment so much. Neon, video games, dolls, 80s, they have it all.Rad staff.Fun drinks.A must-visit kinda place."

F&D Cantina

★★★★☆ 4 (173) • $$

"The Food was SO SO GOOD!! Fresh snd pipping hot!! Thanks to Kyle our bottomless Mimosas were always full and he let us sit and chat and meander through our meal. I don't know if this is tge most authentic Mexican I've had, but it was delicious!! I should also mention that the interior design and decorations are FANTASTIC! The porch outside is also SUPER pretty with quiet & cool, chill vibes."
