Kawme B's Secret Rub Fries (small)
Charles M.

Food 3.0 - Service 2.0 - Interior 3.0 A fun name and a simple concept - SmashBurgers, cheese, and fries. Yes, the single burger tasted good. Cooked just right, firm on the outside and soft on the inside, the crinkle cut fries were loaded with Kwame B's Secret Rub. I enjoyed the sweet and savory mix. Not so good - the service and the dull interior. The service was minimal - 3 men by the grill filling orders. No interaction with them unless something was missing in the order, and then it was just about the order. Two of our orders were missing cups for drinks and the fries, all part of the combo meal. I should mention that all orders are put in and handed off in a small black garbage bag. The restaurant was clean. Murals and pictures created with a graffiti-like look hang or painted on the walls provide some character. But, the place felt lifeless. Ordering is by one of two touch screens. With each burger menu option (one, two, or three burgers), you choose your free standard toppings, and pay for additional toppings. Coke fountain and canned products are available.

Walking into Cow & Cheese gives you a laid-back vibe that anyone can get behind, especially me. The artwork on the walls and the music create a welcoming atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The service was great. We were welcomed as soon as we came in and were shown how to order using the tablet. They also don't accept tips, and they make that clear to customers. I respect that because it lets you enjoy the food without feeling pressured to spend extra money. Now, let's get into the food. All of their burgers are made to order. They're smash burgers, and I tried the new C&C Combo Meal, which comes with two smash burgers and your choice of lettuce, tomato, onion, or pickles. You can also add bacon if you want. This burger gave me a whole new perspective on burgers, especially smash burgers. The seasoning was amazing, the cheese made the burger even better, and the special sauce added a subtle flavor that really helped it stand out. The bun was soft, flavorful, and tied everything together perfectly. I absolutely loved this burger, and it introduced me to a flavor that I think everyone needs to experience. 9/10 The fries were crispy, crunchy, and lightly salted. They also give you a generous portion, which I really appreciated. 8.5/10 If you're in the Orlando area, don't sleep on this hidden gem. Give it a try--you won't regret it.

I was craving a smash burger and decided to try this location out since it's close to home and I came on Saturday evening around 6pm and was surprised how empty it was but inside was clean and I liked the decor with the graffiti on the wall. I got the double patty with cheese fries and both were delicious! Just to know that they don't accept cash here only card so just keep that in mind when coming here but I would come back again if I am ever in this area again.

Cow & Cheese has great food. I typically don't frequent this particular location but it offers the same options and great service as the University location. You order via a kiosk and your food is prepped and delivered pretty quickly. I only got fries this time but will return to try a burger.

Soooo good!! Worth every penny!! Can't wait to go back and try their wings!! I was greeted with smiling faces! Employees were busy but still stopped to help me and answer my questions. Very attentive. Fast service!

I stopped by Cow & Cheese because I was in the area. The ambiance was busy & steady traffic for dining in & take out . The service was quick . You order on the kiosk and they will text you when your order is ready. They have recently added a $12 value meal that comes with a double cow x double cheese sandwich, fries and a drink . You can upgrade your fries and drink for an extra $0.99 each and you can also upgrade your sandwich for an additional $3. I did upgrade my fries to the dry rub but kept everything else the way the meal came . I ate part of my meal there and took the rest to go. The ambiance of the place is like a 90's vibe and they were bumping some nice 90's music .

Menu

A solid 4 restaurant for sure. We went looking at their menu ahead of time and knowing it was very limited but thought there might be more offered at the actual location. There wasn't it. It's just a burger and fries and that's it lol. You can get single , double or triple cheeseburgers and then regular fries or seasoned fries. My boyfriend gave the burger a 8.2/10. He said it was really good and I had a bite and thought it was decent. It's a smash burger so the patty is burger than the bun and overall had great flavor with the pickles , onions and their cow and cheese special sauce. The seasoned fries tasted like they are seasoned with the seasoning that the bbq Fritos have. Both good dishes. The staff was friendly . The place was clean. I guess I just wish there was more variety. I try to stay away from fast food hamburgers so I was hoping there was a chicken sandwich on the menu but I guess that's why they call in cow and cheese. I think the prices are a little steep. You do get a big burger but it was 12 dollars and the basket of fries was 5.50. You're not walking out of there paying less than 10 bucks on anything that's for sure.

Not bad at all, definitely sloppy though. Maybe it was a bad idea for me to put lettuce, tomato, and bacon all on the sandwich along with their secret sauce. For me, it's basically another Smashburger place that really just sells burgers and fries and really nothing else more. Once you get past the messiness of the sauce and everything else it's actually not bad. But I wouldn't really come back again unless I was starving. I feel like there's many of these all across the country. Service was phenomenal, though, they definitely do care about their patrons.

Cow n cheese is a great place for a smash burger! I got their doc burger add jalapeños. We also got the seasoned fries. Everything seemed to be made fresh. You order through a kiosk and there was plenty of seating! There is a parking lot with a ton of spaces available! If you are in the mood for a smash burger then this is a fantastic option! It was very good. We will be back.

Hungry ? Well you need to run to this place located near lake lily in maitland and grab the most delicious smash burger in orlando ! Service is very welcoming and I love the chill ambiance with music playing . After visiting their location in winter park , we decided to try this location and the vibe was still amazing. A bit hidden so look for Walgreens as this is right by and close to Francesco's . For under $40 we had 2 smash burgers with fries and a fountain drink. I know what I'll be ordering for my picnics at lake Lily or salon visits from now on.

Cow and Cheese is such a vibe. Smash burgers on a perfectly toasted brioche bun with crispy bacon and their house special sauce is everything. I dip my Cajun fries in the sauce too and it is a game changer. But honestly what keeps me coming back just as much as the food is the people. Everyone greets you the second you walk in and makes you feel right at home. Love this place.

If you are looking for a great smash burger in Orlando, look no further; I've found just the place!!! The place was clean and had a calm vibe with plenty of seating. Cow & Cheese centers around simplicity. From the menu to the ordering process, everything was easy, efficient, and simply enjoyable. I liked that the options were few, yet completely customizable to your liking. And, I appreciated that they have a $12 meal deal which includes a double burger, fry, and a drink! It was a place that anyone could come and be satisfied on a budget with a high quality meal. Moreover, the food was out of this world! I loved every bite! It was so sweet that the staff came by as we finished to ask about our experience and to make sure everything went well! That was a great touch. This is my new burger recommendation for all my friends! CAN'T WAIT to come back!!!

Cow and Cheese is a legit burger spot. It was our first time there and overall it was a good experience. The restaurant had a hip hop vibe with some cool artwork and 90s music. The service was really good as everyone was super friendly and welcoming. As it was our first time, the gentleman working took the time to walk us through the process of ordering and the entire menu. My youngest son got a double cheeseburger, my older son got a triple, and I got the Doc. We got an order of regular fries and the seasoned fries. We also got the cheese sauce and some sodas. The smash burgers were good and fresh and the bread was good too. As these were our first time having smash burgers we have to give it another shot. The beer sauce was delicious!! We were dipping our fries in it! The seasoned fries were good but the flavor resembled BBQ potato chips. If you like that flavor you would love the fries! I was expecting them to be spicy so I was a little disappointed that they were more Smokey and sweet. Overall I would recommend this place and definitely plan on going back.

Best burgers but fries could have been cooked another minute or two. Also soda fountain was not working correctly- coke tasted bad.

We chose the Medellin burger and I believe it is in the top 3 of best burgers in Orlando. There is so much on the menu we need to come back many more times. The waitress was so sweet as well. Great services, tasty fresh food, you have to try this place. No photos, because I was super hungry!

I honestly wasn't expecting much when we pulled up because Medellin Groumet is in a super…read morerandom/weird area, but I'm really glad we gave it a shot. The inside is more like a Latin gastropub and there's a ton of seating, so it's definitely bigger than it looks from the outside. It does seem that they recently remodeled or renovated the restaurant. We got the fried fish, ceviche, and seafood rice, which came as a big trio platter, and everything was really good. The seafood tasted fresh and the portions were pretty generous. We also got a sangria, and that was probably my favorite part. It was SO good. Definitely one of those sangrias where you're like, "okay, I'll have another one." Honestly, I liked everything we ordered. However, I was told by my partner that I am easily impressed. My only suggestion is to eat it there if you can. I took some home thinking I'd have great leftovers, but the food just wasn't quite the same the next day. Some things are just better fresh, and I think this is one of those places. Overall, really good food, plenty of seating, great drinks, and definitely a place I probably would have overlooked because of the location. Glad we stopped in!

Service 5.0 - Food 4.5 - Ambiance 4.0…read more Hangry - yes, I was, but it was my birthday, so I was grateful. Bison - yes, bison were involved. An apropos name for a gastropub in the heart of Winter Park Village, The Hangry Bison had been on my list to try for awhile. Overall, my family and I enjoyed our time, in large part because of the great service by Emi. She was attentive, engaging, personable, and professional. We also enjoyed the food cooked to order and the comfortable seating area. To start, our appetizer of soft pretzels and beer cheese arrived and was quickly shared (devoured - I was fortunate to get a picture). The warm, cheese-covers pretzels were solid, and a good choice to carry us through until our main courses arrived. I ordered the Build Your Own Burger, medium, complete with a write-on menu to check off my choices. Sweet potato fries asked me to try them out along with the Bison burger, which I had never eaten. My Bison burger with minimal extras and the Bourbon glaze looked appetizing, and the flavor of the burger held its own. Plenty of sweet potato fries joined the burger on the plate, and I enjoyed their slightly firm exterior with the soft, sweet interior. Even the leftovers tasted good two days later. I ordered and enjoyed The Soldiers Lemonade, but wished I had started drinking it sooner than later due to the crushed ice. The warm night quickly melted it. We agreed that we'd return again for the burgers, comfortable atmosphere, and great service.

Popped by here after seeing an afternoon movie and I understand why this place is always packed on…read morethe weekend evenings. I took the creative route and built my own burger. They provide a dry erase menu to build your burger or you can do one of the preset menu items on the opposite side. The food came out quickly and was made exactly as ordered. I tried the truffle fries with my order but felt that the plain fries would have been a good choice as well. The service was excellent and the location has a lot of windows with natural light as well as outdoor seating. Definitely would go back and have another.

I've been a big fan of Irregular Smash since they set up shop for a good run of time right outside…read moreof Ivanhoe Brewery. While I was a little slow to hop on the Smash Burger bandwagon, I am so glad I finally caught up, because wow! And Irregular Smash has really cornered the market on their smash burger selections. With them setting shop just outside the Ivanhoe Brewery parking lot, the owners got to know quite a few of us because our social tennis league (Tennis on Tap) would meet every Tuesday evening for our seasonal matches. This meant we were no strangers at Irregular Smash. By the time they left, which was a couple of months ago now, my teammates and I had tried nearly everything on their menu, and not one thing we tried was bad. The quality of food their team provided was exceptional. Everything tasted amazing. They were awesome and always just fun and supportive of our tennis trials and tribulations. I also loved that they got to learn our names, too. Made the experience of patronizing their business even more special. Price points were reasonable as well. If you don't eat meat, they also offer an Impossible Smash Burger option - great for the vegan folks (like my mom)! I was a regular patron of their OG Smash and Truffle Attack Fries. I am definitely sad to see them leave the parking lot of Ivanhoe Brewery, but I am happy to know they will be coordinating pop-ups all throughout the Orlando and surrounding areas in the coming days. I look forward to seeing how they grow, and maybe one day they will have their own brick-and-mortar. Until then, I'll be on the lookout via their social media account for where they'll be next because they made a lifetime fan out of me.

Irregular Smash is the resident food truck at Ivanhoe Brewing. What better combination is there…read morethan craft beer and a smash burger?! We did take our food to-go but enjoyed a beer from the brewery while we waited for our food. The staff at Irregular Smash were so kind and had me smiling through our whole process of ordering. Genuinely some really nice people work there! The burgers were SO DANG GOOD. I would absolutely come back here, but I think I would rather eat there because the whole area is a vibe. The Firestarter is a bit spicy so just be aware of that when you order. The Truffle Freak was my absolute favorite!! I am a sl*t for anything that has truffle in it, and their truffle aioli is FANTASTIC. My only piece of advice when visiting here would be to check the events happening at the brewery before going. Sometimes there are markets or events occurring that limit the parking. The events also usually add to the fun environment though!
