The Aardvark

Tried a new spot with a friend called The Aardvark. It has a biker bar feel but everyone was friendly and the service was good. I ordered the steak with chimichurri and pickled veggies and my friend had the Mahi rueben and veggies. Big flavors from the pickled veggies so if you're a pickle lover like me you'll love it. The steak was tender and cooked medium, and the sandwich was a good big portion. I'd definitely visit again

Nice casual place, great beer selection. My food was hit or miss. They have a rotating draft selection featuring beers from around Florida and elsewhere. They have a larger selection of beer bottles in the coolers lined up against the wall. I had their southern catfish Benedict with a side of home fries. I also tried the chicken and biscuits two ways and the hush puppies. Unfortunately the biscuits and the home fries were overcooked. The southern Benedict and the hush puppies were great. The staff was very friendly.

Not sure why it took me this long to come try this place out. It's absolutely spectacular. A hidden gem if you've never been. Great selection of craft beers inside. Brunch on Saturday and Sunday with unlimited drinks. Loved everything we ordered.

Had a really great dinner here! Surprisingly fresh & tasty food all around. We had the brussels w bacon, which are air fried making them super delicious. Then we had the grouper sandwich special. Grouper was absolutely spot on! Chef did a great job. Our server was super sweet & knowledgeable. Great beverage selection also. Overall totally recommend & will be back soon!

I’m ashamed to say I’ve lived less than a mile away for 5 years and just not tried the Aardvark. The food is delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. We came for Sunday brunch and got the hangover sandwich (pictured) and the steak n eggs (pictured) along with bottomless mimosas. First of all, there is a special place in my heart for a restaurant that knows that a mimosa is 99% champagne and 1% juice (we are rounding up here). We got the pineapple mimosa but they also had orange and cranberry as options. I will say, my steak was cooked more medium than medium well but I personally only order medium well at restaurants that aren’t known for their steaks because they usually undercook it so it’s not even worth taking a star away. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. Our server made sure to keep our drinks full and show us pictures of her dogs (always a win for us). I also appreciate that they have a lot of deals on Monday’s for service workers such as Monday brunch, $2 miller lite or yeunglings and $3.50 house wines all day. Definitely recommend.

Unexpected delight! Food and service was great along with a variety of local beers. Would recommend it as a great find and great food. Waitress was very congenial and knowledgeable.

There were only 2 tables and it took them so long to get to us and never fill our waters or take our order. They took about 40 minutes to tell us they were out of the wine we wanted. The burger was pretty good but the gnocchi was mushy and gross. Pretty disappointing.

There were risks with the menu change and new chef, but the tastes are amazing. Though we may all miss the Cuban sliders and original Mac and Cheese that were delightful, the new menu is also a creative approach. The fried pickles, some of the best I have had and honestly once I had the green beans, I had to get another side of them and they were the best i have ever had. Again, the green beans were the most amazing hidden gem.

2.5 stars but rounded it out to 3. The Aardvark has been on my list for a long time. When I saw pictures of it, I thought it would be something like the GB bottle shop on Virginia drive except with food, so I was really excited to finally try it out. When you arrive, you get the impression that in a previous life this was a 7Eleven that morphed into a dive bar. There's a couple of tables and chairs outside, and then inside there's some booths but also high-top tables. There's a refrigerated section that sells beer, cider etc. One thing I noticed that I admit put me off was it costs almost double to drink the beer in house than if you were to take it to go. Other places however will only charge like a 2 or 3 dollar corkage fee. In addition, when I asked if they do half pints or do flights, I was looked at as if I was speaking another language. I wanted to try a German Hefeweizen on tap, but was told they were out, I'd have to get a bottle in the case which happened to be more expensive for some reason, but whatever, I asked about another beer and was told the tap wasn't working for it... You see the pattern emerging right? Ok, so I forget about trying to get anything on tap and just choose something from the case. We decide to try out the food and I chose the seafood gumbo, and my friend orders the crawfish gnocchi. So, my food was ok. I ate almost all of it except that it wasn't a gumbo, it was a fish stew. Gumbo is supposed to be thick as its made by a rue and have things like a thick brown gravy, okra, a variety of seafood since that's what it said on the menu except it was just fish, some carrots and celery with rice. Mid meal I'm fishing out bones and scales from the stew which... I honestly don't mind, I'm use to eating fish with bones but I could see how this would be a definite no for others. Reading other reviews, I feel like maybe other items on the menu would've been a better choice, but the truth is, with so many great eating establishments in Orlando, I'm probably not going to be back to test that theory out. I will say the workers were super friendly and made us feel welcome.

Another spot that I live walking distance from that I don't have a valid excuse for not visiting in the two years I've lived near it. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed my experience here! I'd describe the interior of the restaurant as a "no frills" & laid back type of joint, but it was still tidy, pleasant and comfortable. My boyfriend, mom and I came for Sunday brunch and right upon entering the building, we were greeted and told we could seat ourselves wherever we'd like. Once we sat down at a booth, Paul came right over to hand us menus and take our drink orders. He was very genial and attentive throughout our entire meal. My boyfriend and I ordered the bottomless mimosas (your 3 choices are orange, cranberry and pineapple). Because I read previous reviews prior to arriving.. I knew what to expect. They only give you a few drops of juice with your champagne, allegedly because the juice is a big expense for them. Fortunately this is how we prefer our mimosas but i could see this being an annoyance for anyone who drinks the regular amount of juice. So keep this minor detail in mind if you plan on ordering them here. Onto the food.. I ordered the skillet hash which was tasty but it didn't blow me out of the water (also, the portion size felt more of an appetizer amount). My boyfriend had the hangover sandwich which he thoroughly enjoyed, but I found it odd that it didn't come with any type of side (like fries or hash browns). My mom's food was the highlight of the visit - The fried shrimp dinner. I kept picking at her yummy fries and I loved that the shrimp weren't overly breaded. All in all, we had a pretty positive experience and I look forward to trying dishes from their lunch/dinner menu!

Full disclosure...I am a Louisiana Creoleso perhaps I am a bit critical. The gumbo did not look like any gumbo I have ever had in Louisiana. If you like. Bowsers then this is the dish for you. It was thick and full of fish with a nice portion of rice. We sent it back because it was not what we expected for a gumbo. The shrimp and grits were tasty. I like my grits a little less gritty and more creamy. Service was very personable and the server was honest about the gumbo being more like a chowder. The owner was hanging out and engaging with some of the frequent patrons which was nice to see. I gravitated to his LSU shirt which initially made me excited that the food might have a bit of Louisiana flare. It's a quaint place to dress casual comfy in your shorts and t-shirt. There was a DJ which gave it a nice vibe. There is a refrigerator of wines and other drinks you can select from and a full bar. We enjoyed mimosas and there were about 4-5 flavors. Highly recommend for a casual hangout to just chill!

Hit the Aardvark today from the recommendations on here. We were planning to hit Freshfields and it was super close. It wasn't busy so that worked beautifully for us. It's a neat, casual dive bar showing some of the NFL games, a DJ and really great, fun and friendly service by Mike that helps out the owner on Sundays. Mike is hilarious and we were cutting up with him the whole time. We started with the fried pickles. They were incredible and perfect for 2 of us. Loved the dill dip that accompanied the dish. We also had pineapple mimosas and a sample of the froze. The mimosas were in a standard wine glass so well worth the money there. Froze was delicious. My husband had the chicken and dumplings made with biscuits. It was tasty but he preferred the traditional noodles (I'm personally more of a biscuit fan than the noodles). It was over salted a bit and we let them know. They have a new chef (and menu apparently) so that could be it. Also a side of bacon - huge slices and delicious. I had the shrimp po boy. 4 Massive shrimp I had to cut in half with the perfect seasoning and not too breaded. I am a big fan of Tibby's (and hit NOLA regularly) and they can't compete with the real deal but it was still very good. The bread was more of a standard hoagie and more bread than shrimp but good. Loved the sauce!!! I swapped out the fries with the pimento Mac and still got the fries. The Mac was really tasty - not too heavy or saucy. We took most of that and the fries home. They have really great fries. The portions are HUGE and we knew we would have leftovers - easily a few meals worth.

Hubby wanted brunch so brunch it is! Granted we are early birds, lol. So we arrived shortly after they opened. Staff were super friendly and attentive. I enjoy a restaurant with a smaller menu because, to me that means they really focus on the food. And that they did. We went with the chicken and biscuits....oh yea! Great price, great portions, and great food! Chicken was crisp and savory. My favorite out of the two was the biscuit with pimento cheese and da pickles....gimme more! Food felt like everything was made in house. Hubby added a side of gravy and very much enjoyed it over the biscuit. Cute casual vibe with good mellow music. Heard they have a DJ.later in the day. Overall I'll be sharing with my friends in the area and will be back!

cf. Santana (Sonny Henry), ...my house is dark and my pots are cold... in midst of Milton passing, across street Johnny's FillinStn packed, 'Vark empty. Month plus later, still dark and cold. I've been patron since back in kegger supply days with Korean couple, craft/rgnl beer castle, recent evolution neighborhood restaurant; numerous owners several concepts for ambience and service. RIP food guy and beer guy.

This place deserves more praise. Incredible, relaxed atmosphere within with beautiful outdoor seating as well! Endless selection of food and beer, a little something for everyone. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable as well! Wife and I are planning on becoming regulars here :)

Stopped in to pre-game for Happy Hour and found out Happy Hour starts at 2:00 here!! The food and the menu was on point! We started with Brussels that were so crispy and the sauce was very complimentary. We added parm garlic fries and the hush puppies then added some fish fingers. The fish is never frozen and comes in a few times a week. There are so many varieties of beer in the case for you to choose from. Brunch is Saturday, Sunday AND MONDAY!!! Jessie was an awesome bar tender. Needless to say, we didn't go anywhere else for Happy Hour. Didn't need to. Go here for for happy hour, package beer and a great dinner meal. Glad we came here and please hit this spot for a beer, wine, a bite or a meal. You won't be disappointed with the quality or prices.

Don't fill up your CO2 tanks Here. fill up my CO2 tank twice a month last five years. Two weeks ago I take my CO2 tank. I told them to fill up. They said sorry we are out of CO2 you can leave the tank and come back tomorrow to pick it up. So I pick it up take it to my restaurant. I see it's empty. I take it back and I say the whole story and the woman talking to me very rude, saying that is not true.

I had never heard of this prior to maybe a few weeks ago - and SHAME ON ME! What a delightful surprise and treat this place is. It's located on Fern Creek and the parking is a bit small, so be cognizant of that. I carpooled with friends which was probably wise on our part - so, we did not have to worry about a ton of cars trying to park. Anyways, enough on parking. Time for the good stuff! The restuarant is not big It is definitely on the quait side - but it has a nice charm about it. We went on a Saturday and they had a live DJ playing tunes outside (we sat inside and the music permiated indoors). Since we were a large party, they staff - who was amazing - happily pushed a couple tables together to accomodate our group. It was not too busy - and even when it did pick up, the staff kept up well with the demand. The overall service once seated was exceptional. Our waittime upon ordering was pretty quick - so no complaints in that department. Again, the staff was amazing and very nice. Now on to the food. The food was really good. In fact, I plan to return to try out their regular menu since at the time were there for their brunch. With that in mind, brunch was a good vibe. They offer $15.00 bottomless mimosas and sangrias. If you do not want to do a bottomless brunch, you can opt an get a drink from brunch cocktail menu or choose ANY of the beers they have in the cold storage along the back wall. Like the true Brunch Queen I am, I went with the bottomless mimosas. They do, I must note, have a 2 hour drink limit, so be aware of that. As far as the actual food goes, it was really good. I ordered the Southern Beneddict which included a house-made biscuit, blackened catfish, poached eggs, fried heirloom tomato, hollandaise with home fries. Though, the catfish could have been blackened a bit further for me and the totmatos fried a little harder, it still tasted great! Everything, mimosas included, slid down easy. Even my friend's dishes looked great. Across the board, everyone loved the food. Overall, like I noted earlier, this place was a delightful surprise. I am so glad they are now on my food radar! I will recommend to anyone looking for nice, chilled brunch vibe with food that is worth it. Also, the price points are reasonable. So, that is also a plus! If you have not been or heard of them, do yourself the favor and CORRECT THAT. Get over to The Aardvark ASAP! You will not regret it!

First time going to place for brunch and we thought it was great. We live close by so we walked there but there's some parking in the front of it. They have plenty of inside and outside seating. We picked a booth to sit at and got service right away. He was fast and very nice. I had the hangover sandwich which tasted great but I think it should come with some home fries or some type of side. My girlfriend had the hash was very good as well but needed a sauce to go with it in my opinion. With the little suggestions we both thought the restaurant was awesome and will totally be going again.

A nice little place to grab some food and a drink. Service was great and the food was ok. I was not wowed with what I ordered but it was still good. I'm very interested in going back and trying other things on the menu.

First time coming here and I'm so glad I did! They have indoor and outdoor sitting. You walk in and seat yourself and someone comes over to you and gives you a menu. They have a wide variety of beer, wine and seltzers. The craft beer is very unique and different! You can just get up and get your own beer from the fridge, I like that you don't have to wait for anyone to get it for you. For food, I got the aardvark burger and omg probably the best burger I've had in a while! Everything about my burger was perfect. I also got the Parmesan fries and wow they were great! I do recommend trying their blue cheese if you are a blue cheese lover because it was delicious! Our waitress was so nice and kind, I had told her this was my first time coming here and she explained everything to me and was very knowledgeable about the menu and beers. Im already planning my next trip to come back next weekend!

The main purpose of our visit was to fill up our CO2 tank... However, we were easily convinced to have a beer while waiting. My husband had a beer, I had a pineapple mimosa. "Your tank is ready..." Beer #2, Mimosa #2... We didn't order lunch because we had a late breakfast. The menu looks enticing! Groovy place, cool people! Shoutout to Dallas and Matt. We'll be back!

Great little place. Had no idea it was here. Nice chill for a Saturday afternoon. Blackened shrimp highly recommend. Delicious! And the fish and chips are actually beer battered fish. Yummy!! Bartender poured the beer for him to make the batter so how fresh is that!! Stop by. You won't be disappointed. A couple of TVs if you want to watch something. Definitely will be back!! Jessie our bartender was very attentive and had great recommendations!

We always try and support LGBT+ friendly local restaurants in Orlando however the owner is extremely rude, gave us dirty silverware and had a horrible attitude, was clearly having a bad day and took it out on us for asking to send back undercooked food last time we were in. I heard they are closing anyways which makes sense why she was having a bad day lol #ByeandBless.

The service was very good. The person who was attending us was super friendly and made good suggestions. The Po'Boy sandwich was tasty, but the coleslaw was not my favorite. The flavor was a little off. The desert was also not the best either, as it was premade and reheated, which did not taste fresh. The atmosphere is super relaxed and casual. They do have unlimited mimosas for $21 (I believe), which is nice if you want to have several of them. lol

Stopped in for a quiet dinner on a Thursday night. Quickly seated and ordered a draft and selection yes a canned beer as well. We had the fish dip, shrimp po-boy and pimento mac and cheese. All were delicious and portions were large. We had plenty to bring home. Great little spot for fresh tasting fish and cool beers! Will be back to try more menu items!

A solid four for good service and a server who was fun. I only got the burger and a beer to compliment it. The vibe is very warm and welcoming. I wouldn't say it was the best or worst I've had but I would try other more unique things. I was just craving simplicity of beer and burger.

In my pursuit to try new places in Orlando, we stopped here for a Sunday lunch and surprise when we sat down.. they were serving brunch!!! Our server was Angela and she was great! Attentive and prompt, this was important because most everyone was seated inside but we sat at the tables outside. I ordered mimosas and shrimp n grits. Brunch of champions! The dish was hot and tasted great. It is hard to base this dish on consistency, because every place does them differently. This restaurant had the right spices and grit to shrimp ratio. Local and conveniently located in the downtown area, worth a try Orlando!

I recently stopped into Aardvark with my boyfriend for the first time. What a cool spot! We stopped by early afternoon on a weekend and found a table right away. We were greeted by our server, Rachel, who was very friendly, informative, and attentive throughout our meal. We found out they were serving brunch as well as their regular offerings and decided to try it out! We started out with a couple of beers they had on tap. I had the Hacker Pschorr weissbier and my boyfriend had the Collective Arts blackberry blonde. Both were really good and they allow you to taste a beer before you commit to a glass which is nice. I ordered chicken and waffles and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast dog. The food came out quickly and was nice and hot. This was my first time trying chicken and waffles! The chicken was great, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffles were tasty and fluffy, and their bourbon syrup is really good. I did discover that the flavor combo of chicken and waffles is not for me, but each component on their own was great and anyone that enjoys the combination will likely love it! The breakfast dog was really tasty. I loved the fluffy eggs and the home fries were crisp and seasoned nicely. We grabbed some beers from the cooler to take to go. They have a nice selection. Overall, this is a cool local spot and I will definitely return to try other items!

I wish there were half stars because I would have given four and a half. The beer selection on tap and in can is large and diverse. The menu is also very unique. I got a black drum fish sandwich in my wife got the crawfish. Both were very good and mine came with sweet potato fries. The fries were little soft but tasted great as well. The only reason why I went with four stars instead of five is I found the menu and beers a little overpriced. I will be back in the future because the food and beer selection was very good however.

Really fantastic food. Been wanting to try this place for a while and enjoyed the everything. I had the fish and chips, Mac and cheese, and slaw and I left nothing behind. The chips (fries) were very tasty Parmesan fries but not the crispy variety. Definitely want to go back and try the other things on the menu because the descriptions sounded amazing. And based on the food we had this evening I'm certain it's all mouthwateringly good!! Our server was super sweet and attentive.

The owner is is terrible asian lady. Very rude and mean to the customers. Has no people skills. The foods is old and she keeps getting people sick. She is also not certified to be a cook. She cooks food at home and bringing it to work and sells them.

Food was undercooked. Should have known as we were the only table in the place. First time will be our last time. Owner lady was yelling at employee while we were trying to enjoy food. Very unprofessional. Never written a review before but felt this was necessary. Frank

We have lived within 5 minutes of this restaurant/bar for years and have never been until now! And we are so glad we went. Parking is very limited, especially during dinner/happy hour time. They definitely need additional parking, but we were able to grab a spot in the back. We loved the inside and ambience, very cool vibes and open space. The food we got was all delicious! I loved my gnocchi with crawfish, very different, and tasty. Can't wait to come back and try more.

I want to start by saying, I am a very easy going and easy to please person who rarely complains...BUT...We called ahead for a larger group (book club) and were told they could accommodate our group. Upon arrival every item we tried to order from the menu was met with a reason why we could not be served from the fryer is down to we are waiting on that order to come in. Non of this was mentioned when we called ahead! After trying to order 7 different menu items and 3 drinks, we settled on shrimp appetizers and fries. The shrimp was under cooked and the fries were hard as rocks. Our waitress seemed bothered that we were there and did not even ask some patrons if she could get them a drink. Our group finally just gave up and went to the establishment across the street. I can honestly say I will never return to this restaurant nor will I recommend it to anyone! If I could give zero stars, I would.

Truly depends on what you are looking for. In our case, we came searching for a good breakfast alternative in the neighborhood. Our expectations were not high by any means and although we sort of found what we were looking for, the overall experience was simply meh! I even pondered about not even writing a review as the place doesn't quite deserve one. It is quickly a forgettable experience. We asked guiding questions that clearly denoted the fact that we were looking for clean good food, compliant with certain allergies, but the server couldn't be bothered, she was pleasant and friendly, but just enough to get by which gives the feeling of being dismissed. Specifically asked for the eggs to be over medium and described that we didn't like undercooked runny eggs. Again, a minor nod, and no acknowledgment. End result, runny, undercooked eggs. This might all seem petty and nitpicky, but why can't we just get what we ordered. And for the question regarding the gluten intolerance, they just gave me all the bread for both orders and no offer for a substitute with a gluten-free option for the other person. I am not looking for a pile of bread and 2 undercooked eggs with some potatoes. This can all be delivered much differently and find a happy medium where the restaurant can keep that casual vibe it is striving to give but also acknowledge the customer and serve a good meal for a good price. Could've been better, and maybe it's me, not you. For now... we're just going to have to part ways.

This was a random outing from a TikTok and I'm so glad we ended doing it. We saw they did bottomless mimosas on monday which an amazing thing. The food was delicious from the beignets to the aardvark burger were some of the best I've had. Dj did an amazing job helping us and was very attentive give and friendly. The restaurant itself had so much character and wasn't too loud inside for my grandma who accompanied us. We will definitely be coming back the next time we can.

The food, service and ambience are absolutely perfect! This charming restaurant is definitely a must and should be on everyone's list of great places. I'll meet you there.

Ordered the aardvark burger and gouda Mac and cheese. The burger was super juicy and cooked to temperature. The Mac and cheese had a nice crispy crust which i love and wasn't too heavy. The old school hip hop music playing in the background was a nice touch and felt very nostalgic. The service was great. He was attentive and friendly.

Have visited this hidden gem twice and enjoyed myself both times. It used to be a gas station and now it's a restaurant, gift shop/store all in one. I was invited here for brunch i had a iced coffee with breakfast sliders. The slides were good and the meat ( I think brisket) was very tender. It came with breakfast potatoes with were perfect. On my second visit i got there early enough to enjoy bottomless mimosas. They brought the full bottle of champagne out and we enjoyed drinks for the next 2 hours. My dinner mates also ordered a variety of food banging shrimp, fried potatoe chips, truffle fries and grilled cheese brisket sandwich. Both visits were great. The staff is friendly and helpful. They even have an outside sitting area as well.

This is such a cute neighbor hangout, I wish it was closer to my house. I went to the Wednesday Bingo and thought I was the only one there because there was only one other car in the lot. Go figure - people walk to this place as there was a group of patrons inside. It is right across from the iconic Johnny's Fillin Station. My description of this place is cafe, coffee bar with a side of beer and wine. They have cute tables outside and a lounge area (couches) that would call to me on cool fall nights. Inside I loved the tables and fixtures of the cafe with half occupied by an eclectic mix of beer and wine. In other words my kind of place. The beer and wine area has an extensive selection of beers (bottles and cans) that are cold. I love sampling local and new varieties. They also have six packs and a large selection of wine. On Bingo night they had $2 off selected wines (not on tap) so I decided to have a glass and a dessert. Dessert is my go-to on a bad day. Sometimes I also eat pie for breakfast if I get out of bed on the wrong side. This place is open in the morning for the coffee bar and they also serve breakfast items. I had the bananas foster which was in the cool case so this could also be a breakfast item! So back to the bingo. They played 8 games from 7 pm - 9 pm and had free drinks, t-shirts and gift cards as prizes. I love bingo but the bananas foster dessert was so good I found myself distracted. I got the Grand Cru California Cabernet and it was a nice pour and full body wine for $3. I walked in when game 6 was in progress so I played a few games. The staff was very friendly. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out to you. Fast service and they checked back to see how I liked it and if I needed anything else. So I did not win the bingo, but I felt like a winner because I had a great time for $10 plus tip

Relaxing Sunday. Nice selection for brunch. Even the table loves being here (see the heart). Sister had sausage & biscuits which she loved because she loves bread. I had a fried green tomato/egg/bacon sandwich with the bread on the side (I l like the juice). Hopefully my pictures are already posted, I can't find them!

I love this place and their drink options. It's a hidden gem. Food is good. Service is great. The place is small and I kinda want to keep it a secret because I don't want it to be packed...but come out. Pack the place. It deserves it. So cute and delicious!

A fun space that is definitely a must do if you're in the area. They serve up a mix of alcohols and food to order. The is limited inside seating, but there's usually a table or two open. They also have some patio seating. They do a weekly local vendor market (on Tuesdays) and you can follow their Facebook page for updates of you want. There are also nights with live music. The shop inside has a variety of alcohols. I love that they include a lot of local items from breweries and wineries. Nice added touch. One small downer is parking. The lot is small and only holds a handful of cars. There is however, side street parking with a short walk, so not a biggie. Overall: A+ Great local beverage spot! Sit outside of it's nice.

Divine food, casual atmosphere and excellent service with tons of great beers on tap! First, go here if you are into beer! I have a friend who loves variety when it comes to brewskies so I knew this would satisfy her thirst. You don't need to dress up, it's a casual neighborhood haunt which they remodeled to accommodate more seating that keeps customers socially distanced. They feature live music on weekends and have loads of outdoor seating, too! The chef here is amazing, well at least his food is, so plan to try lots of menu items. Our server suggested we try any fish on the menu as that's the chef's forte', so we had the smoked fish dip which comes with pork rinds and toasted bread rounds and a tangy relish. I could have made a meal of this outrageously yummy appetizer! Yes the spicy pork rinds paired perfectly with the dip! We also had their charcuterie board and the brisket, golden raisins and house smoked sausage made this a splendid tasting favorite of everyone at our table! The chef had been smoking meats all day so we had the ribs, chicken and SAUSAGE- delish! Our tablemates had spicy chicken and shrimp po-boy sandwiches which each came with side of homemade fries. We were all stuffed between the great beers, wine, appetizers and entrees! I have to come back to try everything else! SO GOOD!!

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE! A giant roach crawled on my leg as we were eating. The steak was undercooked and dish was dirty. When I said something the lady said we could leave if we were unhappy. I have never been treated so rudely. This was after she tried giving us a discount if we gave a good review.

Let me start out; the fish and chips were very well prepared and tasty! Now, why it's two star instead of five star rating; they had this annoying "rap music " on SOOOO very damn loud that I thought that I might be at some downtown kiddie dance club at 3:00am instead of an rather pricey eating establishment!!!!! It was so offensive that I had earplugs in and tried to listen to an audio book , but it blasted right over the audio in the earplugs!!!!!!!! Not a way to enjoy a peaceful meal, especially at those prices!!!!!!!!

The best risotto in town according to my wife and she is a tough risotto critic. Black grouper entree was good but I wouldn't order it again as I'd prefer to try other menu items. Extensive beer list from the coolers and a decent mix of brews on tap too. Larger inside then you would expect from looking at the building and the limited parking area. SOHO is getting all growed up and we like all of the extra choices for dining now being offered.

This is a business that has really changed recently. It used to be a place where we picked up kegs and CO2 tanks. They always had a nice selection of craft beer kegs. It sold a few beers and lottery tix. It was like an empty old convenience store. Not a lot of charm. Fast forward. Now it is all that and more. It has cute booths and lighting and outdoor seating. They have a coffee bar and a food menu. They have a really great selection of beers, aisle after aisle. They also have a small selection of wine. They've done a nice job of making cute tags for the wine that explains a bit about them. While I haven't had lunch here yet, this looks like a great place to relax and have a beer. Oh and you can still buy your mega millions ticket on your way out!

Great food and drinks here! On Wednesday evenings, they have a dj spinning some vinyl and they serve all you can drink wine special from 6-9pm. They also have djs here on Sundays and Mondays for brunch. It's a casual spot and offer indoor and outdoor seating.

Fine dining cuisine in a beer/keg store? Yep! The food here is simply amazing, the kind you would get in a high end restaurant without having to pay for the 'ambiance'. Plus you can get beer to go in 4 or 6 packs, mix and match packs or kegs. The have a decent wine selection also. This is one of our two favorite places to go for a nice meal.

This restaurant (under new management) is now full service! They have plenty of outdoor seating and a great bottomless mimosa deal ($15.) I had the chicken and waffles, cheese grits, and breakfast potatoes. I couldn't get it down fast enough. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating during our visit, the prices are on the higher end but it's completely worth it go out and treat yourself to a nice brunch!! Give them a try!

I've never been refused service with my service dog. Owner sent his minion to block door when I got dropped off by an Uber. Asked to talk to owner who just sat at the bar on phone and never spoke to me. My service dog is clean, wearing his vest. IDK what this guy's problem is and it literally has service animals allowed on the door and anti discrimination stickers ironically too.

This bottle shop turned gastropub is putting out some fresh seafood and southern style food, and is definitely worth checking out. Fresh seafood is their motto and they delivered on their "Big Shrimpin'" and Mahi Reuben. The Okeechobee Dip was flavorful and smoky, but the brisket was a little chewy. An endless selection of beers and live music compliments this locals hangout. Taste **** Quality/Freshness ***** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service **** Atmosphere **** Bar ***** Cleanliness **** Price $$$

Great local gastropub-esque spot that we have frequented since they re-opened in this new format. Great draft beer selection and good can-to-go fridges ("corkage" fee if you drink them there instead of taking them home). Burger is phenomenal. Monday brunch is killer!

Yum! My friend and I came for brunch and were super impressed by the quality of the food. We had the caprese salad as our app and all the ingredients were super fresh. She ordered a hangover sandwich and I had the mushroom risotto which was good too! Also, the server (didn't catch her name) was so sweet and professional. We are both former servers too so we really appreciate great service. I can't wait to come back and try other things...with beers next time :)

Owner is extremely rude! Purchased a keg 4 years ago back and was told there is no expiration on the keg to get my deposit back. I didn't know they had new owners since when I first purchased but instead of nicely explaining this to me the woman got a nasty attitude with me raising her voice threatening to trespass pass me and my mother. I had to ask her to calm down several times just to clearly get an answer. Totally unprofessional. It was extremely embarrassing to get yelled and cussed at like that in front of other customers as-well just because we were asking a question. Thankfully we got great customers service from Total Wine and they grateful took the keg that we didn't even buy from them with our full deposit. Just extremely rude and would never wish this on anyone to receive service like that.
