What diners say — our read

If these 26 reviews agree on a topic, it is front-of-house. The staff tends to be raised approvingly here, averaging 5.0 stars.

25 of 26 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 1 are two or lower. What nobody raises here is whether food comes out hot — it goes unmentioned across all 26 reviews. More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 23 of 26.

The health record runs ahead of the reviews. The last DBPR inspection returned an A (98/100) with 2 basic violations. That result dates from March 2, 2026. The trend across inspections is decline. On health score it sits safer than 80% of the Orange County restaurants we grade. What the inspector actually wrote up: floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

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

    Jaime was our server for a group of 20. He was gracious, friendly, accommodating and professional. We had a great time and the food was very good.

    We have visited the Hangry Bison before and have always had a pleasant time. We got here just in time for happy hour and enjoyed a beer and some Bison Burgers. Brandon P. Was our server and he was very attentive, made sure i always had water and asked if we wanted any other condiments, I always forget to ask until after the server leaves so it was great he asked right as the food arrived. Would come again and would be happy if we got Brandon as our server again.

    Been here a bunch of times, and the burgers are always delicious! Today we had excellent service thanks to Brandon P. He was on top of everything and he helped make our dining experience very enjoyable. We'll be coming back soon!

    The Bison burgers are fantastic. Pick one of their burger creations, or make your own. My favorite is "The Hangry Bison" burger.

    This place is great. I’ve been here before, but Brandon made my experience amazing. Great service

  • June 20, 2026

    Overall, it was great. They made a minor error on the burger toppings. And the cobb salad was awesome.

    The majority of the time when my son and I eat here, our burgers are on point. If there’s ever a time where they’re not, they have no problem fixing it. Brittney is always so sweet. I know she has her bad days like we all do, but you’d never be able to tell. I’m thankful for her kindness alone.

    Our initial experience was quite positive.

    Have been to this hangry bison a couple times. Food is usually pretty good, today’s was a hit with everyone! Went with my sister and her two kids which can be a handful and it started raining - Brandon was amazing! Moved a table that was semi getting my brother-in-law wet, handled my sister’s asks so well and was just overall a great server. When you go, ask for Brandon!

    Brandon P. Was amazing service!!!

  • June 10, 2026

    We used to go to the Hangry Bison in downtown before it closed but this one definitely exceeds expectations. Food, drinks, and our server Brandon P’s service was all great. Will definitely be back!

    Really cool place to hang out and enjoy a burger.

  • June 3, 2026

    I wasn’t feeling good before our lunch meeting so I just got a few sides. Unfortunately, I couldn’t finish them and the server just offered to take it off and I just thought that was the sweetest thing. I’ve been here a few times and their burgers are amazing and don’t forget the sweet potato fries!!

    Service was excellent! I wish I could remember her name. She was on it. I had the bison burger on lettuce with a side salad. Food was very good as always!

  • May 27, 2026

    One of the best burgers burgers ive had in a long time. It was busy , so service was a little slow , but that's okay

  • May 25, 2026

    We placed an online order at the Winter Park location and it was supposed to be at the Winter Garden location (totally our fault). We left the Winter Garden location and drove the additional 30 mins to the Winter Park location to pick up our order. We were disappointed when we finally made it home because we ended up having to cook the burgers. They were too rare to eat, they were supposed to be cooked to medium well.
