    Captain and pineapple
    Chantal S.

    Perfect low key spot for drinks and bar food. Great place to watch a game with friends! The bartenders took great care of us and the other patrons. They had to cut one guy off that had too many. I was happy to see them take that initiative. Didn't try the food since I stopped in after dinner but I spoke with a few customers who recommended the Chicago dog and cheese steak!

    Cubbie Claws (5 Pc)

    Haven't been here in a minute. Bartender was super friendly and has worked here for several years. Loved the story. Cubbie claws excellent. Fries- well I'm a hard sell on fries but these will pass. It's not overly loud so you can enjoy conversations.

    Big open space

    Honestly had no idea this place existed. Been living by it for almost 3 years now. Very local. Im so over shitty sports bars here in Orlando that arent real ass sports bars. Ale House is wack as fuck. This place is so great, It's a Chicago based sports bar but its loaded with tvs, jerseys, memorabilia. Giant projector for big games. The bathrooms are great, they have sports radio on in there and thats the way it should be. Cheap drinks and yes, great food and not expensive at all. Workers are great and cool. Just happy to be there. DONT FUHGET YA CUBBY CLAWS!! Cubby Claws are chicken fingers and they have a crazy amount of sauces for them. Been here like 4 times in last 2 weeks since I found this place lol.

    Irish nachos
    Ashley O.

    Great little townie bar. Everyone is super friendly, plenty of room with all the TVs you can dream of, and FANTASTIC beer pricing with a great selection. We only tried the Irish nachos but they were some pretty tasty bar food - kettle cooked chips, a light queso, fresh jalapeños, onion, beef, tomatoes, salsa and sour cream. It was a hearty portion and didn't taste like the cheap canned ingredients you get with a lot of nachos- everything was fresh. Our bartender, Ashley, was super sweet and always attentive, even as the sole bartender this afternoon. It's exactly what I want a chill sports bar to be and I really wish it was a bit closer to home. I'll absolutely be back.

    Great sports bar for good bar food and good drink specials. Being a sports bar they obviously have all the games on with tons of TV and a huge projector screen for the main games. All of the staff is friendly and attentive!

    I went here for a University of Michigan tailgate and really loved the atmosphere and people here! First and foremost, any time I get to be around university of Michigan fans who live in Florida is a plus for me. It's hard enough to get anyone to play the Michigan game, but to have it on the loud speaker and a group of people watching, was great! The food was okay, but for a dive bar you can't expect gourmet 5 star food. The beer was cheap and football was on which is stellar enough for me:) April and Jordan our two waitresses were very nice and were able to handle a large group of us which was nice. Jordan gave my dad a recommendation of wings but unfortunately they were not hot for him as she specified. Other than that, I will be back to watch another game in the near future!

The service was friendly across the board, and everything came out quickly, both drinks and food. Brunch prices are a great deal, too. The vibe is perfect for a casual but fun weekend outing, more elevated than a dive bar but still laid-back. I'm glad I stopped by because the Yelp photos didn't do it justice, hopefully I can help add some that'll show the vibes better. I'll definitely be back to The Porch.

They had a…read moreCaesar salad on the menu, but our server said we could do the wrap with either grilled or crispy chicken. It was around $4 - $5 to add chicken. We also tried the mimosa double since they had a special for brunch for $5.50. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with smashed potatoes. The server was great and checked in on us several times. The food took a good amount of time to arrive, but it was decent. I had a bite of the wrap and I liked the crunch of the croutons. I felt like it could've used a smidge more dressing, but it was overall good. The sandwich was also good, but I think it could've benefitted from being on sliced and toasted bread instead of potato bun. The egg was also very well done; I prefer it a little jammy or runny. The smashed potatoes were pretty good and it came with a decent amount. The mimosa couldn't used a smudge more orange juice, but it was a double so understandable. A little loud inside, but it's an open area with dart boards and loud conversations. We didn't have to yell and we could carry a conversation well enough. Parking was a bit rough. We parked around the corner on the street.

    Had an early morning follow-up doctor's appointment the other day and received the news everyone…read morewants to hear, a clean bill of health and a "keep doing what you're doing." Naturally, I celebrated by heading to Hideaway for breakfast. While I'm not a regular, I've been visiting Hideaway for years. The original location across the street had a classic smoke-filled dive bar atmosphere, and I could tell stories all day about memorable experiences there. Those stories are best saved for another time. The new location is unquestionably an upgrade in comfort and appearance, though it lacks some of the character and smoke that made the old place so memorable. Fortunately, the things that matter most remain intact. The beer is still ice cold, the drinks are solid, and the food is consistently above average at prices that are hard to argue with. This particular morning, I grabbed a seat at the bar and took advantage of their $5 breakfast burrito (available before 9 AM). The menu lists bacon or ham as protein options, but I was also offered sausage, which I happily chose along with the eggs and cheese. I'm glad I did. The sausage was nicely rendered with crisp edges that delivered little flavor bombs throughout the burrito. Wanting to dress things up a bit, I asked for pico de gallo. My server laughed and replied, "This is a dive bar," before offering salsa instead. Fair enough. The salsa, combined with a generous squeeze of their hot sauce, turned out to be exactly what the burrito needed. In fact, it was so good I briefly considered ordering a second one to go. Then I could practically hear my doctor whispering in my ear, advising restraint, so I reluctantly passed. For those unfamiliar with Hideaway, it's also a major Miami Dolphins fan destination. Whether you're a Dolphins fan or not, I highly recommend experiencing one of their game-day watch parties at least once. The atmosphere is electric and one of the more unique sports-viewing experiences around. My only minor gripe was being charged an extra dollar for the small container of salsa, and it wasn't even pico de gallo. Not enough to ruin an otherwise enjoyable visit, but enough to earn a raised eyebrow. Overall, a great breakfast, a little nostalgia, and a fitting way to celebrate a positive doctor's visit.

Each time we've brought our pup there's been 2-3 other really well behaved dogs hanging out at a table with their owners. We love getting to bring our boy out to hang with us! Side bar- the human food is delicious too! Burgers, sandwiches, wings, quesadillas and the likes. If you get there early enough for breakfast be sure to order the biscuits and gravy - you won't regret it! They have a wide selection of beer and liquor, and even have NA Stella or Heineken, which I enjoy.

The steak frites are just as magnificent as my boyfriend and I remembered. Have you ever had a food memory? Years ago, my dad made the best steak I've ever had. He passed away when I was a kid, and two summers ago, when I took my first bite of the steak here, my mouth watered... but so did my eyes. It was one of the strangest, most beautiful experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. For a moment, it felt like Dad was sitting at the table with us. To taste something so familiar, something I hadn't experienced in over twenty years, was surreal. That's not a compliment I hand out lightly. So we each had that For this visit, we started with the rock shrimp tacos, and they absolutely did not disappoint. They packed a nice little kick without overwhelming the dish, and we practically inhaled them. Of course, we had to finish the meal the same way we did last time: with churros. Somehow they were even better than we remembered. Crispy, warm, perfectly sweet, exactly the kind of dessert that makes you argue over who gets the last bite. My boyfriend ordered two Old Fashioneds, and I had two Cosmos. Both were delicious and definitely generous on the pour. I was a little concerned when we arrived for our 8:00 p.m. reservation because the place was PACKED for a Thursday night. We ended up waiting a bit past our reservation time. The hostess suggested we grab a drink at the bar, but that area was just as crowded, so we hung out in the lobby instead. The wait ended up being completely worth it because we were seated at the exact table I was secretly hoping for: the most perfect little corner window booth, straight out of a movie scene. It was the ideal setting for our last night of vacation. And then there was our server, Anton. Anton could teach a master class on waiting tables. He was efficient, funny, attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely seemed to enjoy what he was doing. In a world where great service sometimes feels like a lost art, Anton was an absolute delight. The Ravenous Pig delivered once again: phenomenal food, excellent cocktails, memorable service, and one of those meals you'll still be talking about long after you've gone home. We can't wait for our next trip to Orlando and our next visit back.

The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!
