Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Recent visits are landing softer than earlier ones did. Front-of-house cuts both ways here, averaging 3.9 among the reviews that raise it. Wait times follows at 32% of reviews, where ratings average 3.1.
Of the 22 rated reviews, 14 sit at four stars or better and 7 at two or below. Behind those, how food arrives is raised in 18% of reviews (3.0 average). The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (13 of 22).
The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a C (78/100), citing 1 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 8 basic violations. The visit behind that grade was February 23, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. Ranked against Lake County, it is safer than 28% of the restaurants we score. For specifics, the last inspection cited dishwashing facilities and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
The honest summary is that the evidence is mixed on both sides. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

I spent 90 minutes waiting for a lukewarm burger and fries when the restaurant was half empty.
-
Everytime we order here we are missing items or the food is cold and salad is brown lettuce. I guess we have given up trying them

🌟 A Special Thank You 🌟 As I reflect on our very first Boheme & Bliss Meet & Greet, I want to take a moment to acknowledge a few people who helped make the evening such a success. First, a huge thank you to Kayla, the manager at Buffalo Wild Wings Clermont, who went above and beyond to make our group feel welcomed, comfortable, and well taken care of. Your kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping create such a positive experience for our members. I would also like to recognize our wonderful host, whose support, dedication, and willingness to help made a tremendous difference. Thank you for helping create a warm and welcoming atmosphere and for being such an important part of this special evening. And finally, thank you to every woman who attended. Your presence, laughter, and positive energy are what made this gathering so memorable. 💕 This is only the beginning of something beautiful. ~Mona Fleming & the Boheme & Bliss Community 💙

Food was terrible fries were hard chicken was gross and extremely dry definitely waste of time and money

Erica is the best worker this place has! She was attentive, fun and fast. See you next time
-
My ice had slime sludge in the center. We called the server over and showed her, these called manager came over and asked if I wanted another I said no, just take it off my bill. The server than came back with the bill and told me the manager comped my drink! She didn't comp anything, she took the unranked drink off of my bill. The attitude and entitlement was disgusting.

Christine was amazing, Your review show how you guys are doing you need a new general manager. There is no reason why she was left alone tonight with the game.. You need a new GM

Food is not that good but nice servers.

Wings are super salty :( Not edible, had to throw away. My sauces were Caribbean Jerk, HONEY BBQ, and Garlic Parmesan. Don't understand why the Caribbean Jerk and Honey BBQ was still salty. 6/5/2026 This was my 2nd time ordering from here. The first time was good; I ordered a burger and fries. The burger was so good! That's why I decided to order again from here because last week experience was great. I should have stuck to the burger again, instead I decided to try the wings. Sadly, it was no good. Extremely salty, and unable to eat.

Todo perfecto

Hey Y'all - popped by last Sunday - annual tradition at the end of a week water-skiing at Swiss. I gotta say Sean the manger is a total rockstar. Not only is he a fabulous host he was able to get a specific sporting event up on the tele for me. Our bartender was great too - and let's be honest those wings... dang they are good. My only regret is that we didn't order more wings!

This place has always been great!
-
I got 6 boneless wings and fries, lunch special. Heavily breaded, more breading than chicken. The whole meal cooled off very quickly before I even finished eating, leaving me to think it had been all pre-cooked and just heated up quickly when the order came into the kitchen.
-
fast delicious and tasty food.
-
Fun atmosphere, always competitive in a friendly way. Lots of entertainment and very social. Sometimes, I find the wings a bit over cooked and dry but still flavorful nonetheless
-
Erica is absolutely the best server I’ve ever had. She has the best energy I have ever seen from a server. She made our experience so wonderful! My family really appreciates how nice she is. Bww, you better hold on to her ! We will be back just to see her !

Brandon @ Clermont Florida location is really good and precise.
-
We had a horrible experience at this location. The server took our drink order but completely forgot my son's drink. After bringing mine, the server completely disappeared and ignored us for 26 minutes. We couldn't get anyone's attention to take our food order or even fix the missing drink. After wasting nearly half an hour being treated like we were invisible, we just decided to leave. Terrible customer service and a total lack of attention.

Delicious wings, waitress was very nice
-
Had chicken tenders salad. Good food. Waitstaff great. Would go again.
-
Xander our waiter was completely awesome! The burgers were solid! We will return!
