What diners say — our read

Sorted newest-first, the ratings decline as you read up. How guests are treated tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.2 stars. After that, value for money appears most often — 22% of the corpus, averaging 4.3.

The split is 15 positive to 2 negative across 18 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. 5 stars is the modal score, given by 12 of the 18 reviewers who rated. Conspicuously absent: portion size, which no reviewer brings up.

The inspection lands in between as well: DBPR graded this kitchen a B (85/100), citing 1 high-priority and 7 basic violations. That inspection was on February 23, 2026. That puts it ahead of 25% of graded kitchens in Osceola County. Among the items recorded were food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized and nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

Both measures agree, which is the least complicated version of this page. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

    Hi, I'm Colombian and I've been to this restaurant twice and it's been a truly fabulous experience. The food, the service, the restaurant's decor—I'll be back in August with my boyfriend and my mother-in-law for my partner's birthday, and I'll be taking my son for the first time.

    There was no toilet paper in the bathroom but the service was great and the food was good. The price was awesome! We spent half of what we would have at Denny's for a family of 7. Highly recommend for good food and good price. Thank you to our server, Karen.

    Should not take 40min to cook a couple of burgers when the place is not packed. Patty melt came with out the grilled onions and fries were overcooked greasy and not seasoned. Love laughter at work but not to the detriment of service. Another table left after an hour without getting their meal. We were about to leave and hit up McDonalds then the food arrives. McDs would have been better.

    The food was ok but I had found an object a broken plastic strap inside my plate. I told the waitress and she did not apologize or bring another plate. This is plain disgusting. Never again 👎🏼

    We stopped here after arriving on an early flight into Orlando and researching diners with good reviews. We ordered the French Toast, breakfast sandwich, half biscuits with gravy, and grits. The service was quick and the food was delicious.
