Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
4.9 stars across 15 reviews, an A on the inspection — a rare case where both halves agree. Front-of-house tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.6 stars.
Of the 15 rated reviews, 14 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (14 of 15). No one in this corpus comments on how food arrives at all.
The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (100/100) and no violations cited. The visit behind that grade was March 4, 2026. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 100% of the restaurants we score. No violations were recorded at that visit, which is the cleanest result available.
Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

Humberto is the best!! Kept me company when I was annoying and drunk and still made me feel like I was welcome - Brooke (I’ll comment later when my phone is charged dw 😂)

Most fun you can have with your clothes on. Write your favorite song on a napkin w tip and prepare to be WOWED! Off the chart talent and one guy Joe is SOOO funny. Crowd interactive and solid entertainment. Drinks are reasonable. There are 5 musicians that come out at top of hour and play guitar, drums and 1 or 2 classic rock songs(think Freebird or Sweet Child of Mine) Highly recommend, esp if from out of town.

I went there for a Happy hour party hosted by Florida Social Club and it was so much fun the drinks the live music were all incredible and the host of Florida Social Club had fun prizes and the cutest handmade keychains. 100% be back to howl at the moon for another fun filled night especially if its hosted by Florida Social Club.

Great place to listen to live music.

Attended as part of a private event, so hard to judge the food. Service at the bar was excellent, music was fun. I would certainly recommend and go again.

We had a blast celebrating a friend's birthday! Great service from our attentive servers, entertaining musicians rotating in and out throughout the evening, and overall fabulous evening! Highly recommend for a fun 50+ ladies night out!

Had an amazing time here the other night! My friends and I did a fun wig themed event with them and we genuinely had the time of our lives. Drinks are priced great, and atmosphere is lovely. I loved it. Thank you!

I can't say enough about Howl at the moon. We found it Friday night. Loved it so much came back Saturday. Band is unbelievable. Service was great. Even the door guys were awesome. We didn't eat. We did have some of the special drinks. Everything was great. Will be back next time we're in town.
