What 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.

No one in this corpus comments on how much food arrives at all. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (11 of 21). The split is 14 positive to 3 negative across 21 rated reviews, with 4 in the middle.

Against that, the kitchen inspects well — an A (93/100), 1 intermediate and 4 basic violations at the most recent DBPR visit. The visit behind that grade was January 6, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is improving, which argues for giving it the benefit of the doubt. On health score it sits safer than 50% of the Osceola County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and plumbing installed & maintained.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    Muito bom

    Service was not great. Our waitress did nothing but get the food order. We literally needed to find her for napkins, refills and to see where our food order was, due to everyone getting there food before us and being seated way after. The restaurant was also extremely warm.

    The strip lost my business because of the now 20% added gratuity on everything

  • June 28, 2026

    It was cool I came for the brisket unfortunately they were out of brisket that day staff was friendly though

    If I could give the service less than one star, I would. This place was horrendous. The food is good, but not good enough to make up for the lousy, inattentive service. It took more than 20 minutes to get 3 glasses of water and 3 sodas and close to an hour to get our food, when it arrived, we still hadn't gotten silverware. The kicker is, they add an automatic 20% tip on every bill, so no incentive to give good service and boy does it show. Won't be back.

    Food was good and service was great even though it was busy. The person who just wowed us was Hunter! He gave us great customer service and made the birthday boy feel extremely special. Thank you Hunter.

    Great place to grab a bite to eat on Sunset Walk. Crystal was very attentive and a pleasure to interact with!

    Great environment! Especially if you love cars.

    Front hostess Logan was very sweet and fun. Server Demi did an awesome job and was very pleasant.

    I had the burnt ends melt and it was delicious! All of the garage-related details were great and interesting. However, I was off-put by the tipping situation: at the door, the hostess said we would be charged 20% automatically because we would be served by a team and no extra tip was expected. However, when our server presented our check at the end, she somewhat repeated that speech, including the line about no further tip being expected, but she pointedly let us know that she would only be receiving 8.5% out of that 20%, which left us feeling pressured to actually leave more even though it had been reiterated that no tip was expected. Also, she hadn't done a great job taking care of us - checking on drinks/refills/etc., presumably because it was a "team" effort -- a team effort that left me thirsty. For food and atmosphere, it's a yes! For the weird tipping rigamarole and subsequent inattentiveness, its a meh from me.

    Very expensive.....nothing spectacular to me

  • June 23, 2026

    Absolutely wonderful food and fast service. Just went in for pick up but the place was clean and looked like a fun atmosphere!! Can’t wait to go back and try something else from their delicious menu!

  • June 23, 2026

    Went for early dinner..great atmosphere and food was good.

  • June 22, 2026

    Food and service was great

  • June 21, 2026

    Awesome food. Although when we went there they had us sit at the bar.. my daughter didnt like the smell of the metal or whatever it was. Stainless maybe. So then we switched to a high top right next to it. Idk they do a group serving thing where everyone is tipped out based on sales if I recall and they all run food and do whatever for each table. So I dunno why we couldn't of sat at the high top to begin with.. but either way great burgers and fried pickles are my go to!

    I really enjoy eating out and trying new things. Food is ok, not a place I will go back to eat a main course. They do however have great entry options and service

  • June 21, 2026

    Mmm mmm good. Foods so good I might go out and buy me a Ford.

  • June 21, 2026

    Even though I’m a Chevy guy I have to give credit where credit is due. This place is awesome, wish there was one by my house. The staff is great, the food is delicious, the drinks are perfect and the whole theme is perfect. Will definitely go back

  • June 20, 2026

    A great place to visit with family and friends. Awesome atmosphere and great food.

  • June 20, 2026
