First time here and it certainly won't be our last! The entire atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. Beth provided top-notch service and made our visit extra special. The food was amazing, and the menu is so creative and beautifully thought out—whoever created it is a true food artist. Highly recommend!"

Great food and service

Food and service were excellent. We have some food restrictions and our server Beth was very helpful and patient with our questions about the menu. Food items were served promptly and everything was delicious.

It was my first visit to the Fifth Avenue Streatery based off a suggestion from my special someone and it did not disappoint.! The food was delicious, our table service was on point and friendly, the weather was nice and it was quite enjoyable eating our meal out in the fresh air.

Outside gas station turned into this cute eatery.Dog friendly
-
Fun place to get a scrumptious meal. It takes creativity to repurpose an old gas station and make it inviting but these folks have done it, and done it well. Clearly the wait staff enjoy working there because they all are cheerful, helpful, and attentive.
-
Our kitchen away from home! Absolutely one of my favorite outdoor dining places.
-
Beth is really a great server and recommended the green tomatoes (they were very good!) Definitely will be bringing the crew back again!
-
Let me start by saying HALEY is awesome! With her awesome personality ordering was a breeze. Great mimosas, homemade chicken fingers so juicy and perfect crunch. Great onion rings. The Absolute Best homemade blu cheese dressing. Eat here for an open air, dog friendly restaurant for great food and service.( forgot to mention- doggy menu w/ paws up grilled chicken !
-
Mount Dora burger was great. Great balance of sweetness from the jam, saltiness from the bacon and spice from the arugula.
-
Very good food. Reasonable prices! Waitress was great and friendly.

Fantastic place—this has become our go-to whenever we have the time. The service is always warm and friendly, making you feel more like you’re visiting friends or family than dining out. The food is consistently delicious, and the daily specials are always worth trying. Sitting outside adds an extra layer of relaxation, which we really enjoy. We love the atmosphere and the unique idea of turning an old gas station into an outdoor restaurant—it’s such a great concept. We truly hope the owner/chef keep doing what they’re doing for years to come, because this place is a real gem for the neighborhood.

Beautiful evening to sit outside and eat a delicious dinner ❤️ Beth was wonderful... very attentive, friendly and professional. We had the Southern Burger with a side of beer battered onion rings and the Asian Style Fried Shrimp tacos with black beans and nice. Both entrees were delicious and a great price for the quality and quantity. The burger had a wonderful beef flavor that shined through and was complimented by the yummy toppings. The onion rings were cooked perfectly but I didn't get a beer flavor. The tacos were amazing... the shrimp were cooked perfectly and the Asian sauce was fantastic... sweet and a little spicy. The side of black beans and rice were great...nicely seasoned!

So so good! A unique little stop with homemade everything. I started eating before I grabbed the pic cuz it looked so good!
-
Food was great, loved everything is fresh made. Service it top notch too. I'd definitely stop again
-
Loved the atmosphere, service , food were great too.

Invest in a leaf blower!! The “atmosphere” has its challenges to begin with, take 15 mins before open to blow off the excessive amount of leaves collecting under your tables. Also, maybe tie your chair cushions to the chairs. THE FOOD WAS A+++++ and THE SERVICE WAS A+++++. Will return, just would like to see a little more care to the eating area.
-
From the moment I drove down the avenue, the place caught my eye, and definitely, from the moment we sat down to order, the girl with pigtails who served us was extremely friendly and attentive, definitely someone who puts enthusiasm into her work. I loved the crab burger, and the onion rings were out of this world. Truly delicious food.
-
Wow I was pleasantly surprised. I came for the home cooking and outside seating but it was more than I expected. Service was on top of it!
-
Great food. You can bring your dog and they have a menu for them. Really enjoyed the experience.
-
I love this place. I’m vegan, and it’s not often that I’m served with such care and consideration for my dietary restrictions. The owner came out of the kitchen to guarantee that my meal was allergen free and prepared correctly. The waitstaff are incredibly kind, and I recommend anyone looking for delicious food and a good time to come here. Easily one of the best vegan burgers I’ve had in a really long time. 🩷🩷🩷

-
Fabulous service! So relaxing to just sit and hang out on a wonderful morning. We did not eat but brought our service dog and it was soo cool. They even have a menu for the dogs 🐕

Love, love, love it here! The staff was amazing, the food was great and the atmosphere was perfect. We will definitely be back!!
-
We wanted some home-cooked meals and we got it! My kiddos got the burgers and they all of it and it was a pretty good size burger too. I got the fried chicken sandwich. Chicken was juicy, not dry and fried perfectly. Can’t forget to mention the homemade ranch. Yum!
