We were scouting this place out before we were even in town, and it did not disappoint!…read more We did their wagyu Philly cheese steak and the Wagyu filet sandwich, fries, the Wagyu wontons, and two drinks. I wiiiiish this place was local to us! They also have a meat counter to buy meats. It was soooo buttery and delicious. The service is extremely pleasant and kind. There's spots for you to sit, and the parking lot is a decent size. I guess I just wish there were high chairs but we make it work! I would return if I'm in the area again.

We visited Palm Beach Meats on a Saturday afternoon after hearing rave reviews about their waygu…read moresandos. My boyfriend is a big fan of waygu so he was in heaven! Every menu item has some type/form of waygu in it. From American staples like burgers and hotdogs to Asian favorites like wontons and lumpia. There's a variety of menu options to choose from including breakfast items. Palm Beach Meats also has retail selling meat, local food products and wine. After much deliberation, we ordered the Australian waygu filet sando, Australian waygu strip sando, waygu chili cheese hot dog, and the Japanese cream brulee cream sando. Everything was delicious, however the standouts were the filet sando and the cream brulee sando (employee's recommendation-no notes!). We sat at the bar and the employees we were chatting with were really nice and easy to talk to, and happy to share what their favorite menu items were. Our time was enjoyable and we will return and recommend to others!

Wonderful experience stopping in here recently. We have seen this shop and kept meaning to stop in,…read morebut finally had the chance and took it. Glad we did. We were greeted right away and ordered assistance if we needed it. It has a rustic wood and metal feel inside and there are specialty seasonings, told, and accessories around the perimeter to look at. On the left side are a couple of fridges that showcase their cuts of varying meats and cheeses. They offer premium grade cuts and clearly mark each hand packed selection. Over to the right of the entry is a case of more 'grab and go' type offerings, like plates of jamon that are pre cut for snacking or charcuterie plating. There are also more seasonings and sauces on this side. At the back is a service desk to talk to staff, make speciality orders, or finalize purchases. You can also grab a brochure to read more about how they grade their meats. Overall: A Solid butcher stop for specialty items that offer a high grade selection!

This is your neighbor local bbq spot. My friends and I arrived on a busy Sunday right when they…read moreopened. Shortly after the line was close to the door. Recently acquired Michelin Guide status this place lives up to the hype. We loved the pork sausage, burnt ends, Dino rib brisket and the Mac and cheese. All of the bbq was made fresh and tender. We liked the bbq sauces offered at the table as well. The interior features dining room tables, condiment station and memorabilia. The line moved quickly and is recommend coming early in the day or pre order if you plan on ordering a lot. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other seasonal items. Prices were fair and we paid around $30 per person for 5 bbq items and 3 medium sides.

I have to be honest I wasn't impressed by my visit to Smoke Made Meats on Crystal Lake Drive…read more I had the brisket sandwich, but the meat was almost a paste, and the BBQ sauces didn't really deliver, super watery. The mac and cheese also left me wanting more it just wasn't as rich as I hoped. That said, their collard greens were outstanding truly the star of the show. And the butter gooey cake? That was a sweet win. I also tried their Frisco fries, and they were decent, but I wouldn't rush back just for those. The ambience is really laid-back. It's like any regular barbecue place. I saw at least 3 to 4 tables of people sitting down and enjoying their barbecue and they seem to have a steady stream of traffic. The cashier who is also getting our food order together seemed really nice. She had a great personality. I honestly don't feel the need to go back and visit again. I feel like I would enjoy barbecue more from four rivers.

The best KBBQ on this side of town! I've been coming here since their soft opening, and I'm happy…read moreto say that they've stayed consistent and are my favorite KBBQ nearby. The meat is fresh and good quality; and their second tier menu has tons of options and variety. I love their steamed egg and Ganjang Bibimbap appetizers. Their salad bar also has tons of different banchan; and they're the only KBBQ place that I've seen include gimbap (which I love)! Service is always great and they're so willing to change out the grates when they're all charred. Would def recommend!

You could easily spend an entire day at East End Market exploring all the culinary options and…read morelocal shops it has to offer. Each restaurant and shop feels like its own little world, and you can sense it the moment you step inside. That's exactly what Gyukatsu Rose offers. Although the restaurant is located in the middle of the market hallway, believe me--you'll feel transported to Japan and completely forget you're in Florida. Their service will make you feel like royalty. One of the most interactive and delicious dishes is the Single Wagyu Set. You get to cook the Wagyu to your desired temperature right at your table on their tabletop grill. One dish that absolutely blew my taste buds away was the Curry Menchi Katsu. The Japanese curry flavors were incredibly well-balanced, and the katsu was perfectly tender. Every dish comes with an assortment of side dishes. My favorite was the rice topped with yakiniku sauce and egg yolk, simple but yet incredibly flavorful. To finish it all off, be sure to order the Matcha Ice Cream Brûlée. It's the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal.

We made a reservation since they do not have a lot of seats even thought it didn't seem like an issue. I got the surf and tuff with the Wagyu and the tuna. The food is prepared really fresh and seared to be finished to your liking with a small butane "grill" My friend got the curry dish. There were many options on how to eat the dish and sauces to go with the proteins too. Overall amazing food for the price point. I wouldn't actually recommend the tuna since it was a little bland over the Wagyu.

Food was amazing. Staff was super nice and friendly. Felt like being home in the North End.read more

Stasio's in the Milk District is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Orlando! The chicken…read morecutlet, egg, and cheese with a meatball was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken cutlet was incredibly juicy, packed with flavor, and cooked to perfection. I've tried chicken cutlet sandwiches all over Orlando, and this is easily the best. The fresh mozzarella is unbelievably fresh, and you can taste the quality in every bite. We also ordered a simple cheese sandwich for our baby, and even that was amazing. The bread was some of the best we've ever had fresh, soft, and full of flavor. Everything tasted homemade with high-quality ingredients, and it's easy to see why Stasio's has such a great reputation. If you're looking for authentic Italian sandwiches in Orlando, this place is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

Volcano Hot Pot & BBQ is one of my favorite local AYCE. I've been going there since they opened…read more It's a clean and modern aesthetic with typical hot pot and grill at the tables The staff and servers are always attentive and nice. The front staff remembers us every time we go. I am obsessed with the herbal and spicy hot pot, so I usually have them make it 50/50 mix. The vegetables are fresh and there's a wide selection of meats and seafood. I also like to make my dipping sauce with the garlic sauce blend. My favorite is the Galbi which is seasoned well. Both savory and sweet. Another obsession is the asago dessert which is a tapioca pearls, black beans, fruits and jelly in a sweet coconut milk. I really enjoy going here since it's a good alternative to other AYCE in the surrounding vicinity because of the better quality. I want to see this place get more traffic because it's hidden in the old JoAnn's shopping center next to Aldi. There's plenty of parking in the commercial lot.

I've been so many times but all I have is a picture of not meat! lol…read more This is one of Volcano's newer locations on the east side of town. They do both hot pot and kbbq. You can pick one or add the other for only $5 more. They have a good selection of meats, veggies, and others. The app selection isn't my favorite compared to other restaurants but still varied. And the sauce bar is always stocked. If you're hungry, this is the place to go!

Storytime: a husband wanted to open a BBQ joint. His wife wanted to open a gourmet donut shop…read more So, they did what all great visionaries do: they combined the two and created Smoke & Donuts here in Orlando. Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

The restaurant is cute and vibey. Reminds me of Austin, Tx a lot since there were many places like…read morethis one. It brought me back a great memory and the ambiance in general was nice. Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.
