This is hands down the BEST sports bar and restaurant in the whole of Florida. The staff are great and the atmosphere unbeatable, do yourself a favor and try the Parm pasta, best I've ever had. read more

The wings are Fantastic!! You can't find hardly anywhere that will grill them. I love that they will mix sauces, fry, grill, and double toss in my favorite flavors!! I think all their food is good, BUT Dammm.. wings will be a selection every time I go there.. and take some to go. read more

The food is surprisingly good for pub food! I love all the TVs for watching sports. This pub used to have an incredible whiskey selection. After the refresh, I'm not sure if that is the case. The bottles are much harder to see. I'm not thrilled that the number of bar seats has been reduced and the place is loud. A bit of sound insulation would be welcome here. I'll be keep coming back! read more

A Chicago style bar, it was only right to check it out. Today was musical bingo night and I sat in for a couple of rounds. We sat at the bar. Bar staff were friendly as well. They had a Taco Tuesday special which I believe all places should have on Tuesdays lol. Me and my girlfriend had a couple shots of Patron and enjoyed the ice cream churros. Sometime soon I plan on coming back during a Sunday to watch some football...they have so many TVs and specify what games will be on each TV. read more

Friendly confines is a friendly place, the servers are friendly and check on you and make sure your drinks are full. However, this place needs a deep cleaning. The women's room has a lot of dust and water damage on the ceiling and black spots on the ceiling -this could be a health issue. The wings are good and it's a good neighborhood spot and a lot of locals go there with their sports teams and children. Big parking lot, easy to park here and close to I4 read more

Not so friendly Confines! Walked in and out after sitting at the bar for like five minutes with three waitresses standing right in front of me. Now, I saw they saw me but for whatever reason they didn't acknowledge me at all. Not until I got up and was on my way out, at least. Though they should, they don't get slapped with a one for that @#$! because I happened to carry a hefty bar tab with them back in the day at the old Waterford Lakes location. I couldn't do another free shot of Jager or listen to so much Skah ever again. Ever...but thanks to bar tab bingo, I didn't pick up a check on a Thursday night at that place for years! I gamed that bingo like Donkey Kong. Was a fun run too, if it weren't for that epic bar brawl ending it all. Anyway, I haven't been to any Friendly Confines ever since and I guess this was the Universe's way of saying stay out, you've already had way too much fun with them. read more

Amazing venue! Awesome food! Fabulous drink specials on Friday nights, and the best karaoke you will find, on a Friday night, in Orlando! Where else can you go, to enjoy the best karaoke, from one of Orlando's top KJ's, on a Friday, where all Bacardi and Captain Morgan's cocktails are only $4.50 and all Tito's cocktails are only $5.50!? Recommend the "Chicago Dogs!" BEST Chicago style hotdogs in Florida! read more

It's aight to me. It's Larger inside than what it seems with ample outdoor seating.. Lots of tv's for live games and stuff. We wanted to try it out as it was one of the only places near the house that we haven't tried yet. You should try it also. read more

If you're a Chicago fan this is the spot. Great food. Great service. Very cool layout for sure.

We had a great time! We ended up here randomly and it didn't disappoint. I LOVED the loaded fries It happened to be a "build your own burger Wednesday" so snagged that for only $8 It was also trivia night so that was fun. The service was great, the vibe was fun and it was PACKED! Lots of parking ! read more

I travel quite frequently for my work and when on the road; I stop in at many local restaurants and sports bars, to try the local food fare and just take in some relaxation. Yesterday, I heard about Friendly Confines in Winter Park, apparently they own others in the area...fast forward soon in this review....The menu was vast and I actually had a hard time picking what to get, since it was lunchtime; I went to the lighter side and went with a Blackened Shrimp Greek Salad...holy cow! When the salad arrived it was massive and full of shrimp and all kinds of goodies like peppers, onions, feta, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers and the dressing was amazing, see the pic! By far, one of the best salads I have had and I could not come close to finishing it...my bartender Anna Lee was awesome and I watched the owner and manager constantly working the floor and talking to guests, this place is a must! Now, after lunch I was headed to Lake Mary and Anna Lee told me to check out their other location there, what a coincidence...my first thought was, I'm trying one of the other items I didn't get to try at Winter Park... I got to the Lake Mary location close to 7! They were actually about to have a Free Movie Trivie game featuring Ferris Bueller and Weird Science...well, I love those movies and I said put me in Coach! So, I grabbed a seat and was greeted by two Kelly's working the bar! I immediately ordered the Italian Beef w/ Mozz and an ice cold beer..they knocked that Sandwhich out of the park! It too was huge and delicious! I get all of this and play a super fun game while eating. Folks, take the time to visit either Friendly Confines in Winter Park or Lake Mary, if you are ever near them. If on a Thursday, definitely go play that Free Movie Trivia game Reel Genius, it was so much fun....both locations host that game on Thursdays at 7! read more

Service was great and we enjoyed our Thursday night chicken fingers baskets. Price was great for what we got. And dog friendly patio

Always drove by this place in Lake Mary and finally gave it a try -- and it did not disappoint! For a chain company, it's the perfect place to sit back and relax to start or end your day! I had a couple of Kona beers and ordered a 6 piece "claws," which are basically boneless chicken tenders (garlic teriyaki). It was delicious and you can mix any kind of sauces together to make it your own! I'd like to personally thank Britney, my bartender who made sure I was well taken care of and always checked up on me. I came here solo after doing errands and while my boyfriend was at work. She kept me company and made sure I wasn't feeling too alone. Great customer service! Thank you Britney for being so great! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu! read more

Stayed in Orlando the night before our cruise. We walked over from the Marriott. Food was great! Our waitress was great too! We got the Thai chili boneless wings, burger with fried egg, Cajun tots, and nachos. We loved everything! read more

Cool atmosphere and welcoming employees. Every item we ordered was great including the chicken finger claws.

First time at this restaurant. My friend ordered a salad which he thought was good. I ordered a cheese burger which was unflavorful and dry as a hockey puck. Probably will not return. read more

30 dollars for 20 lemon pepper wings and I got plain. Told the person taking my repeatedly LEMON PEPPER

Nice chill bar with inexpensive food. I prefer to go during the lunch happy hour and get the .90c claws. Sweet Tai Chilli claws are delicious and service has been good/quick lately. read more

As a Chicago sports fan.. it was a pleasant surprise walking into this restaurant knowing nothing about it. Food was as expected, beer was really cold. But out of everything, the staff was amazing. They were so personable and beyond friendly. Would love to send a thank you again to Zoe and Dustin! Both assets to this business. Will without a doubt return again. read more

This is a great little sports bar located in Lake Mary FL. I usually come here with a group of co-workers at the end of the long work week to help get the weekend started. If you can get here before 500pm they have discounted prices on some of their food and drink items. My go-to's are a pitcher of yuengling for $7.50 and 10-12 Cubbie Claws .75 cents each. I haven't had a bad meal yet but I have never had a fabulous meal either. In the past I have ordered cubbie claws, waffle fries, loaded waffle fries, Nachos, pasta bowls, soups, salads and sandwiches. These items are fairly priced and hit the spot with a cold beer. We are regulars here so we have come to know several of the waitresses. They all do a great job and are easy to get along with. If you ever have an issue with your food or drink let them know, they will take care of the issue without hesitation. Definitely give them a chance if you haven't yet. Check out a game with some friends, grab a pitcher of beer, Cubbie Claws or some wings and you will be good to go. read more

Went Friday night with some friends, we haven't been here since last year... it's a typical bar with bar type food... the good and drinks are petty consistent... nothing great but if you're in the mood for dive bar this will likely suit your mood. It's a pretty big place and they did have people spaced out really well. All the menus are QR code which was very nice to see and there are no condiments on the table, you have to request them (also good!) I got the turkey burger, it's def a frozen patty but pretty good... a few people for regular burgers and one friend got the Chicago beef hot dog. Overall the food was 100% consistent to how it was the last time we were there. The drinks were pretty cheap too which is always a bonus. My one complaint is that most of the servers were either wearing their masks below their chin or not wearing one at all. A little disappointed to see that but I will clarify that our server always had a mask on when she was at our table. Fun place to hang for some drinks and burgers, nothing spectacular but super consistent and reasonable pricing. read more

This was my 3rd visit to this lake Mary location went in today after work. One waitress was sitting chatting with a gentleman when I came in the lady that offered to assist said she did not see me which was true because she was not there when I came in. I moved to the area about a year ago and like the food there. I was starving waiting over 20 minutes still not even a drink, one server saw me and retreated to the back. It was rude. Took a detour to Longhorn Steakhouse and will never go back. Very disappointed.. read more

We live locally and have been coming here regularly for years. Your new manager, Calvin, is creating an "Unfriendly" Confines. He is not welcoming, rarely smiles, and has made rude gestures behind employees backs. I have seen him on several occasions eat food from customers (that he knows) .This is Very unprofessional. We have come to know many regular patrons here and the feeling seems to be mutual. Please don't change the friendly and welcoming environment you have spent years developing. read more

I love the food and love the service. I'm not a fan of some people that are regular's that think they own the place. I quite confident that they abuse the situation. read more

I was referred to this restaurant/bar by a waitress from another establishment that kitchen was closed. I didn't even look at the reviews because it was late and I was leaving the ate the next day. Well I'm glad that I gave them a chance. It's a sports bar!!! The wings were so darn good I can't wait to come back again and my daughter loved the blackened mahi-mahi sandwich. The service was friendly and prompt. Oh yeah we will definitely return. read more

For a Sports Bar, this place excels. It's loud inside, but they also have an outdoor area in the back. Came here on a Friday night, & was easily able to get a seat at the bar by the front door. Was greeted by a bartender in 5 minutes or less. Friday happens to be fish night specials. I did get the Baramundie, fried, fish and chips style, and it was excellent. Fries very good also, as was the service. All very reasonably priced. I'll be back. read more

Your basic sports bar. Lots of tables in and out and lots of screens. Food was middle of the road, nothing outstanding but not bad. Nell was our wait person and bartender and made the night with personality galore. Looks like they have specials and something going on every night. Try it. read more

Great quick meal which included a shrimp wrap and coleslaw. The shrimp was crisp and the coleslaw very good. Customer service was great, the coffee was continuously flowing. It was a very friendly place with quality and tasty food at good prices. read more

That might be the worst Italian Beef I have ever had. Took 35min to throw that garbage together...lmao!!

Food is mediocre beyond the cubby claws. Staff is hit or miss. Nice outdoor space at least and beer is reasonably priced.

Very noisy sports themed place but as long as you know that going in, which you really should expect, then the ambience is great. They have football games spread out though out the place and you can try to sit near the game you want to watch. College or pro. Usually some sports playing all the time. The food is great. Fresh and hot. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because they change the menu every so often and remove good things that used to be on it. Bring back the cheesy tots!! But really, they are pretty good. GO CUBS GO!!! read more

Fun place. Liked the food and the staff. Prices were reasonable including cocktails. They had a cool retro cigarette machine...pictured. ;) read more
