Fresh, healthy, deliciousness. A must for five stars. It's a little hidden off Lee Rd. behind Flemmings. Also, don't be fooled by the name and think they only serve desserts. They have some amazing sandwiches and salads. I had a a salad and it was made of fresh ingredients. The beets on the side were clearly homemade and perfect. Definitely going to try a dessert when I go again. They looked so yummy, almost too pretty to eat, and they are HUGE. The atmosphere is quaint. The tables are home-style where you grab a seat and some times sit at a table with other guests. Can't wait to go back! read more

Just..wow. George's Gourmet Cookies catered our work lunch for about 40 people. We frequently get catering in, but this was by far the best! For reference, our dept usually caters in Olive Garden, Toojays, or just pizza. Pretty typical, chain restaurants. However, I am so glad they got this catering because althought it was basic food, such as potato salad, sandwiches, salad, and cookies, it tasted AMAZING. I had a turkey sandwich and it was REAL carved turkey, not deli sliced turkey. The bread tasted like it was baked fresh, the cookies were light and fluffy/nutty, not heavy at all, which made it easy to eat more than one :) The salad was delicious. The set up looked very professional despite it only being sandwiches and salad. There was a variety of sandwich options: ham, turkey, veggie. The cookies really are delicious. The only feedback I have is that they should have left business cards/menus/ or something to indicate where this food came from. It was so good that we actually asked around to see if anyone knew who ordered and catered, but, I think if they left a menu it would have reached more people. I am definitely going to go here on my own and order a sandwich one day. Great job George! You officially have a new customer! read more

Coworkers and I got lunch to go the other day. The food was AMAZING and very presentable! The prices were great for the food portion as well! On here a lot of the pics are years old, so I'm updating pics from my coworkers food! The cookies are great as well.. I was expecting small cookie, and was totally wrong! Def would recommend and go there again! read more

I am so happy that George decided to open a new restaurant! I always CRAVEEEE for George's cookies. Well, who doesn't? Their cookies are super huge and it has lots of chocolate chips and nuts inside. It is definitely a heavenly treat! I think they are too popular to have such a little restaurant. There are only 3 tables inside that can sit about 16 people. You might have to share table which is okay. You can always make new friends. It's also very small to fit a stroller inside. I didn't see any high chair. I had the Puddsy sandwich. It was fresh and delicious! It also comes with 2 homemade side dishes and everything was well seasoned. I took 1 star away because I didn't think it was a child-friendly place. read more

Amazing food! The sandwiches are out of this world and the portions are huge!! They make all of their sides in house I had the beets, broccoli slaw and the homemade applesauce and they were outstanding! Definitely recommend this place for lunch. The cookies were out of this world as well!! read more

This is the best place to go for lunch in the whole city!! The quality of the food is outstanding! If you need an event catered George is your guy. He did my wedding and it was top notch. Everyone raved about the food. The cookies are to die for! The meat on the sandwiches is so generous and tasty! I've been there numerous times and it is always wonderful!!! read more

If you like excellent food food wonderfully prepared and served fresh, George's needs to be on your list of favorites. I like all of the soups and sandwiches and the portions are generous enough to split. The cookies served at George's are the best around and one of the reasons it is a must visit eatery. Service is friendly at this busy establishment. George and his team are typically working on catering gigs in the community and "Everybody knows George" ! I have the good fortune of recommending people to visit and eat at George's regularly because my office is 2 doors away in the Shoppes at The Center Of Winter Park at 501 N. Orlando ave located on the North side of the plaza facing Lee Road. My favorite menu item is the fresh roasted beets with goat cheese and pine nut salad. All of the fresh baked breads are worthy of the quality reputation they enjoy including, Challah, French, cornbread, Banana nut and more. Take out is a consistent way for people to enjoy the food from George's due to the limited seating both indoors and outdoors. Weather permitting they have a pleasant garden like setting in front of the store. I highly recommend George's read more

This was a walk in walk out situation. It had been raining outside and upon entering, there were no rubber mats at the door, causing dangerous sliding. Had to hold on to wall. When we asked for and outside table, they said we'd have to come order at the counter, (slide some more), then place our order. Then slide across their floors to get back outside. They said they don't have table service. We left! This is our second bad experience. About a month ago when they had outside table service, we sat at a table that appeared to be clean. A very rude waiter who was having an argument with a nearby patron, came to our table with a spray bottle of "cleaner". He sprayed the patio table which had an open woven metal weave pattern with the cleaner. It smelled of Clorox. He left to continue his berating of the other patron over his superior knowledge of COVID protocol. We waited at least 10 minutes and he never came back. I, however, left with white bleach droplets all over the legs of new black pants that he recklessly sprayed bleach on. Certainly doubt that we'll go back. read more

Love this place so much!! Haven't been here in quite a while- mainly because it's not close to my apartment- but everything I've tried here is divine! I'm very hesitant with handing out 5 stars unless I really think the place deserves it, and this place is definitely one that has earned the highest praise!! The staff treats you like family every time you visit and is incredibly helpful and kind. Unfortunately I've only had the pleasure of visiting twice; once was when I had first moved to the Florida area and was looking for nice places to visit, the other was when I was picking up some treats for friends, but both occasions have been wonderful experiences that always leave me in a great mood. If you're visiting the area, I'm sure the staff would love for you to stop by! read more

Best food in town. Love eating there, with my Daughter on the weekends. Lunch during the week at least twice. Can not say enough about the food and George . Great asset to the community. read more

My god completely disorganized take out. I really don't care how good the food is if it's a nightmare picking it up!

Citizens of Winter Park, Florida! Flock to this place if you've been looking for a good sandwich shop since Brandywine closed. Although it's not on Park Avenue, it has the charm and the quality food you're looking for. I immediately felt at home when I saw 3 of my very own clients in the restaurant dining. All different families. Not together. The selections are simple and the sides are ample and delicious. Employees were kind and thoughtful. That rarely happens anymore. The food was delicious. If you enjoy chicken salad I would start with the sandwich on any bread. It was delicious. Enjoy!!! read more

When I tell you this place is amazing! I had my leftovers today! My Shrimp Po Boy was everything!

This place is life !! The beet salad is amazing! Everything here is so wonderful and made with love . Best food , bulldogs , and the beetles who could ask for more!!!! A+++++++++ read more

Chef George was very accommodating when I asked him for a custom order for my party. I had lunch there too, delicious chicken salad and potato salad. Will definitely return! No wonder he was voted Best by the Orlando Sentinel! Way to go Chef George!! :-) read more

My family and I had lunch at this wonderful gem yesterday and we have not stopped talking about it between ourselves and letting others in on one of the best lunch places in all of Central Florida. Walking in makes you feel like you have been transported to old south Florida, lots of great artwork and a matchbook shadowbox that we laughed and brought back tons of memories of what Orlando and Winter Park were like back in the 70's and 80's. The staff and George were wonderful, the food was amazing. We had the potato pancakes with sour cream and housemade applesauce for starters. Our party had an assortment of items from the menu; one had the beet and goat cheese salad (who knew beets could be so good), another had the egg salad on a fresh croissant (my wife loved it) and then I had the French dip with house made French fries and the baked beans (this sandwich is the standard by which all French dips shall now be judged by and I feel very confident will never compare with going forward). The French bread was grilled with a touch of butter, then stuffed with some of the most tender and flavorful prime rib I had tasted in a long time. Absolutely spellbindingly delicious. Real au jus to dip this powerhouse of a sandwich in. The hand cut French fries rival the best from any legendary burger joint in Southern California. Then the staff brought out a sampling of warm house made gourmet cookies for dessert. Everything was great and our visit to George's was truly one of the best memories of our entire trip. We cannot wait to come back for our next visit. I should mention that George's is not very big inside although they do have tables outside in the garden area. They do a considerable take out business in addition to having every table full with happy customers. Highly recommended treat and keep in mind they are only open for lunch. read more

Great lunch spot in Winter Park. Great service. Used to be just cookies. But now has great Salads and sandwiches. I had a French dip which was fabulous. It's a huge thing of food with two sides. Lots more food than just one person to eat. Could be split. My friend has a 1933 salad which was fabulous as well. A little tight in the space department but get there early and sit outside so you'll have a good table. read more

We just ate at Georges for the second and last time. First time it was very busy and staff was running circles around each other, a man in the kitchen yelling at one of the girls behind the counter to get in there, everyone could hear him yelling, so unprofessional. Had we not already paid we would have left. about 30 min later we got our food. My Egg salad had no seasoning it was dry and flavorless. My husband got the cheese steak which was ok. Today We decided to give Georges the benefit of the doubt and give them another try. It was not busy at all but we waited almost 30 min for our food. My husbands Pastrami was very sparse and DRY. He asked for double Cole slaw as his 2 sides since that's the only side they offer that he eats but he got chips and Cole slaw. not a biggie, the one slaw was plenty but its not what he ordered and the chips went to waste. I got the cuban, certainly they forgot the pickles, nope, a Cuban without pickles! They handed me 2 big pickle slices when I asked if they forgot the pickles. It was also not pressed, although the cheese was melted maybe from a broiler but when I got the sandwich it was not hot and had no flavor, just very dry. I asked for a loaded baked potato and fruit as my sides, my order came with chips instead of a potato. When I asked they said they were out of baked potatoes. Ok, maybe they could ask what I would prefer instead of just giving me chips which I don't eat. The chips went to waste. The sandwich sizes and amount of meat also seems inconsistent, They guy next to us had a sandwich comparable to my husbands Pastrami, possibly roast beef which had triple the amount of meat. We laughed as we left saying since they are closing in an hour, its Sat and they won't be open again until Tuesday, we probably got the last small bit of pastrami that was left and chips they were trying to get rid of since neither of us asked for them but we both got them. slow service, overpriced, tasteless food. We won't be back read more

I stopped in to buy a drink in order to make change so I can tip my Uber driver. Owner of this here location told me my beverage was free so I couldn't make change anyway. He said "Help yourself, just pay it forward." So that's just what I'll do with my Uber driver's tip. Gotta love kind people. Thanks George! read more

More than cookies! This place is a hidden lunchtime gem in Winter Park. Stopped in today, ordered a sandwich with two sides, and all were clearly made with care and fresh ingredients. The portions are more than generous for the price. If you like beets, I can't recommend the roasted beets enough. Can't wait to go back. read more

This place has so much more than cookies! Their sandwiches are out of this world and while they are priced from around 8-12 dollars they are totally worth it. They include two sides (Mac and cheese is great and so are their roasted beets!) and the sandwich size is large. All made fresh to order by employees that are more polite and helpful than anyone I've dealt with in a while. The perfect spot to head on your lunch break!! read more

This was a delicious delightful lunch stop. Everything about it, from the decor inside and out to the friendly help to the absolutely scrumptious meal (tender, flavorful French dip, potato salad, coleslaw, and delicious lemon bar) was excellent. Service was fast and helpful, and prices were reasonable. My new favorite stop! read more

Oh lord have mercy! Why did I not know of this place before today! Stopped in for a sandwich , ordered the specialty sandwich - Rueben with 2 sides. The beets were amazing , potato salad. Alice brought over the broccoli salad to taste.oh my! I've saved the best for last! The Reuben was the best I've had in a long time. Huge, imported swiss cheese , home made dressing . .. I couldn't finish it . I stopped on my way out to pick up 2 cookies , delish. The owners are wonderfully friendly and I enjoyed the seaside decor. I'm definitely making that place a regular stop read more

We had just finished lunch at the Chinese next door, which was nothing to write about, when we noticed George's. We had a couple chocolate butterscotch cookies. They were a chocolate cookies topped with butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, coconut and yumminess! It was one of the best cookies I've ever had! The menu looks a bit pricey, so look it up before you go. The decor is very cute and I enjoyed looking at all of the cute stuff for 15 min. I'll def go back for lunch next time I'm in the area. read more

Fantastic food! Great portions with amazing sides. The beets and potato salad are wonderful.

Oh how I love George and his quaint restaurant that boasts the most delicious food! It reminds me of the food my grandparents made at home, and I mean that in the best way possible. You can tell the love and effort put into every bite that you eat just like your family does. I go here when I'm in need of some local love and a home cooked meal. The interior looks like you're in their home. George himself prepares all of your food with the help of his family and friends. Do yourself a favor and follow them on Instagram! I love absolutely everything from the chicken salad sandwich to the Cuban salad and topping off with the most amazing cookies! Beyond the food, what I love most of all is the genuine care and compassion the staff have for their customers. You feel like family instantly. Don't be intimidated by the sometimes "long lines" because it's for a reason I assure you. I promise they will take care of you and your entire party. We were giving cookies just because of a somewhat longer wait without even asking. My favorite sides are the broccoli salad and potato pancakes! Very affordable, casual, and lots of parking. Thank you George for exemplifying what it means to be the perfect local business! read more

Absolutely the best. The chicken salad was amazing. The fruit was delicious. The homemade potato chips were super crispy and fresh. The staff was so friendly. We were even given extra pickles at no charge just because we asked. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

George's is a secret gem in Winter Park. It's off the beaten path and not easy to find but the search is worth it. Get there early to get a seat. The fun beach decor cafe only seats about 15. Otherwise, just order takeout. My favorites are any of the soups and their fabulous cake. They're known for their cookies but I prefer the cakes. They serve two sides with each sandwich. Everything is homemade and fresh. Their specialty is catering -- I'm happy they opened a cafe as well. Alice (George's wife) is delightful and will give you great service. read more

Luncheon faire is Spectacular and the desserts are simply out of this world great. Thank you George! You're better than 5 stars!!!!!! read more
