Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
One subject runs through these 21 reviews more than any other: front-of-house. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 4.8 stars.
What nobody raises here is pacing — it goes unmentioned across all 21 reviews. 19 of 21 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 1 are two or lower. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 17 of 21.
The kitchen graded a B (81/100) on 1 high-priority, 1 intermediate, and 8 basic violations at its last inspection, which is roughly where the reviews sit too. That result dates from May 4, 2026. The trend across inspections is improvement. On health score it sits safer than 21% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. What the inspector actually wrote up: cross-contamination and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.
Nothing here pulls in opposite directions — an unusually clean read. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

I love to support local restaurants and this is one of them. You get a fresh jar of sliced dill pickles when you sit down. While this sounds odd it's amazing (obviously if you love pickles). The food is reasonably priced and is always good. If you are visiting (or a local who hasn't gone here yet) this spot is a winner!

Super fun place. Food and service were great. Casual place. Tv's had sports. Great drink selection. Games for the kids. We will return!

Very niche restaurant with some great options on the menu that we found on the way to the Orlando Airport. Our waitress was Xiomara (I believe…that was the name on the receipt). The food was good and the prices were on par with the food. They give you a jar of fresh pickles upon entering and they are very good. There are stacks of board games around the restaurant that you can play if you get … “board”. We will be back next time we are in the area.

One of my go to’s for lunch free pickles and I don’t think anybody in town has a better burger!
-
Absolutely awesome place to eat. The pickles were perfect. My shrimp tacos were 5+ stars. If you are in the area for a visit - this is a must stops. Great food, fair prices, and awesome atmosphere.

A great local place with very relaxed vibes. Our kids enjoyed all the board games! Service was really great and the outside seating for drinks with friends is really enjoyable. Great place to catch up with friends and family friendly too!

Been here multiple times now and they allow people to put their dogs ON the tables. Ate here today and witnessed a dog licking the salt and pepper shakers. I will no longer be returning :/

Comfortable atmosphere, good food and great service

They have a great sunday breakfast menu and it did not disappoint. Our server Whitney was awsome and the manger was was one of the most attentive managers at any recent restaurant that i have been too in a very long time. They had great acoustic live music that wasn't to loud from a musician with a beautiful voice. Highly recommend

Was in town for business and stopped by. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and price. Service was pretty good as well.

Fun place to hang out and eat. Indoor outdoor seating with a cool vibe. Pickles on the table is an immediate win for me. We also had the Mac n cheese skillet that was excellent. My son and Jess both had burgers. Thick patty’s cooked as ordered. I had buffalo chicken sandwich that was good. The homemade ice cream sandwich was the Star. Warm cookie and vanilla ice cream. YUM!!! Cool place and service was fine.
-
Decent food, outdoor seating, live music on the weekends. Great spot to hang with friends and have a couple of beers and food. They have cocktails too.

We haven’t been to Vanbarry’s in a few years and we were excited to go back. We were hoping it was still as great as we remembered, it was better! Food was excellent, servers were friendly, and we love the atmosphere on the patio.
