Love the retro lights.

This was my first time here. They have a great craft beer selection and the wings are pretty darn good. For me the pizza was ok. I liked that it wasn't super salty but wished it had a bit more sauce. My daughter ordered pasta which came out 10+ minutes before the rest of our meals. Operations seemed a bit disorganized. The food was good enough that i will come back but hopefully things are smoother next time.

Meatball Meatball BBQ Sub - 12" Sub

We arrived around 3 PM on a Thursday afternoon right before Christmas. We had the entire place to ourselves, literally. There was no one else in there. All of their menus are QR code. There were just two of us in our party, and we opted to keep it simple. My husband got the meatball sub with fries (there is a up charge fee for fries) and I got the metro turkey sub with chips (no up charge). They have Coppertail beer on tap, and with it being a beer out of Tampa, I opted for one glass of beer while my husband got a Sprite. The subs were beautifully toasted. Not too hard, but not too soft. The meatball sub was good but it needed more marinara on it. My husband ended up asking for two more small containers to add to the sandwich. Overall, it was good, but he said the pizza and the wings he's had there before were much better. I had the metro turkey sub which was turkey, deli meat with green apples and lettuce, cheese and a slightly spicy sauce. Was not overly spicy but the perfect balance with the sweetness of the apples. I really enjoyed my sandwich and would order it again.

We've been visiting here for over two years and are always pleased with the service and friendliness of this restaurant. Their wings are solid, and their pizza selection is always enough for everyone in our family to find something they love. This time we tried the cheesy bread, and it will become a new staple for us each visit - it was so crispy and cheesy that it was demolished in seconds! My husband especially appreciates the good craft beer selection and I love the small town family feel each time we're greeted. As a bonus they always have the best football games on during the weekend!

Cheesy Bread (was really good)

I see all of this love for Josie's but to be honest I left my experience feeling whelmed at best...not overwhelmed; not underwhelmed...just whelmed. Looking to order pick-up I hopped onto their website to review the menu and found it to be glitchy and not mobile browser friendly. The site said to download the app, so I did...and it's just as glitchy. I started to try and place an order through the app but it would not allow for modifications to the order. I gave Josie's a call and was able to place my order with ease. The employee who helped me was super friendly and attentive. After a brief wait; maybe 20mins I headed over to pick up our food. The dining area was small but very clean. A handful of customers were scattered about having beer and talking. I will say they have some great local and craft beers on tap here. I was promptly greeted and my order was ready when I arrived. So far you're thinking...if everything was so smooth and easy-why the two stars? The food. We ordered two calzones and an order of their cheese bread which totaled just shy of $31. Upon getting our order home we found the serving sizes to be lackluster. The cheese bread, tho delicious, was quite tiny. The calzones were of okay size but massively lacking on the fillings and the majority of it just being bread. It just wasn't worth the price we paid to be honest. There are other, local joints nearby where you can get way more and better food for a similar price. Sadly that is what made Josie's a one-and-done for us. Obviously I am in the minority when it comes to Josie's but based on our experience we just won't be returning. The service was wonderful but the portions didn't add up to the price.

I've been going to Josie's on Hiawassee for more than twenty years, but somehow missed the opening of this one, which is much closer to my home. The space is much brighter and more open than the old location. Although there is a sort of bar in the back, this is primarily a table service place, with plenty of tables both inside and outside. On our visit there were a handful of inside tables occupied, and the sole server was doing a fantastic job of keeping up with everyone. We shared a large Greek salad, an order of ten hot garlic wings, and a pepperoni, ricotta, and basil pizza. Everything was excellent, and the hot food arrived literally steaming from the kitchen. The Greek salad was a nice mix of fresh veggies on top of crisp lettuce, and the Greek dressing was delicious. The pizza didn't have a crisp crust, but the sauce had a great oregano flavor, the cheese was plentiful, and the pepperoni was very flavorful. The wings are the wet style, and some of the best in town. I love that they use fresh garlic on top of the hot sauce rather than mixing in powdered garlic. A lot of places have been having staffing issues, and we had the impression there might be just two people working here on a Monday at lunch, but they were certainly doing a great job, and I give them full points for food and service.

We were seated in the outdoor area and then sat for over 20 minutes without a single server coming to our table. When someone finally did, they apologized and explained there had been a miscommunication among the staff. I appreciated the apology, but the issues didn't end there -- our salad never made it to the table. Instead, it was packed up at the end of the meal and handed to us to take home, which isn't quite the same as enjoying it with dinner. The kitchen clearly knows what it's doing, but a restaurant is more than just food. With so many other great restaurants in the Winter Garden area, I won't be coming back.

You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it shows in how he takes care of his tables. We started with the hummus appetizer, which was fresh, smooth, and a great way to kick things off. For our meals, we had the steak flatbread and the steak frites--both were cooked well and full of flavor, with the steak coming out tender and perfectly done. Everything came out timely, and Kenny checked in at just the right moments to make sure we were good. We couldn't skip dessert, and the strawberry bread pudding with strawberry ice cream was the perfect ending--sweet, warm, and really satisfying without being too heavy. What really set the vibe, though, was the music. Kenny's 90s R&B playlist gave the whole place a relaxed, nostalgic feel. We ended up staying for hours just enjoying the food, the music, and the overall ambiance. Definitely one of those experiences where the service takes everything to the next level. We'll absolutely be back.

I really liked that they had happy hour and that it was offered to us throughout our time there. Our server was attentive and made sure that every course we received was a good one. The food was okay overall. I tried to get a little bit of everything with my Magical Dining order. I do wish the tofu had a little bit more salt to it. It was seasoned well, but it was missing that actual salty taste, although that could just be my personal preference. The salmon, though, was seasoned to perfection! I will always remember that salmon because it was really good and flavorful and did not have that fishy, seawater taste, if that makes sense. All in all, I'll definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu. I really liked the variety of options they had, and I also liked the area itself. I could definitely see this being a place I come back to with the kids as well as for a date night in the future.

The place was…read morea shit show but the food was decent, the drinks were cheap and they were the only outdoor bar open past 11pm in Winter Garden. Well that all changed over the years as more places opened and competition got stiffer. When the original owner, Derelict Dave, sold to Luis & Gio a few years ago the place got going again. But when the "Bridges Brothers" bought the place it was awful timing as decades of neglect to the plumbing and equipment made the place an Inspection review nightmare! They pumped some money into revamping the motif of the place but all they did was just raise prices it seemed. The quality and choices of food went downhill and the staff was subpar. The initial training of the employees was minimal and it showed in the operational inefficiency. 10 months after opening they bite the bullet and close the doors to stop the hemorrhaging of cash. Another big problem is the landlord is notoriously, cheap, and impossible to deal with so good luck to anyone else who tries to lease out that spot as they will pay through the nose with a zero Tennant improvement!

He said that it was not the cleanest or nicest establishment but that it had since then gotten new management. Parking was ample since the lot is for several other establishments. When we pulled up I was pleasantly surprised by how it evoked the British culture with its styling. The inside was warmly lit and they were having a Bingo night with a $5 entry. We were less interested in the bingo night and more fixated on getting fed. We decided to sit down at the bar as most of the tables were full with families, couples, and small groups of 4-6 people. We were helped by the bartender who was patient and gave us time to take in the ambience and the menu. We decided to share an appetizer and entree. Amused by the name we decided on the Lush Mush. Yummmmm....the port reduction... delectable. For those hesitating on this selection because of the blue cheese fear not! It was not strong but made mild and gentle by the cream. The shepherds pie was comforting and satisfying. A hearty farmer's style meal. We were satisfied. The establishment was clean. We briefly explored the outside bar area which had multiple TV's for sports aficionados. It's a great locals spot for this are of Winter Garden which is a little ways from the main area. There is a secret room to explore which I didn't get a chance to enter. Hopefully, if I return on a weekend it will be open and I'll get to see what is inside. All-in-all I recommend this establishment. With the new management it's off to a great start. They had different events each night including live music, so come on over and stay awhile!

I found an open seat at the bar, and ordered a half dozen oysters and the lobster roll. I paid in advance using the Inkind app, which I found out they were still learning on how to take it. After help with another person, they got it working and verified my payment. The oysters came first and it was one of each kind they had. Each one was so fresh, silky, and buttery, and the provided sauce enhanced the flavor. It was one of the best oysters I had for a while, and well worth the 22 dollars. Crackers were also provided, and it had the right amount of saltiness. The lobster roll came next with chips included. There was an ample amount of lobster, which tasted fresh and good. It could have been a bit sweeter, and the roll recipe is different than the traditional style. While I enjoyed the traditional style better, it was still a good roll. No complaints for being 21 dollars, especially when there was a nice amount of lobster. The service was friendly, but a bit busy and nonchalant. I noticed that shucker explained the origins of the oysters to other patrons, but seemed to skip me on it. I guess he assumed that I knew my oysters. The atmosphere is very casual and small. Only 3 to 4 seats in the bar. The dining area was a bit bigger, but that also caters to the Crooked Can guests drinking at the bar. Outdoor seating was also available. Bruno's Oysters indeed has excellent oysters, and a good lobster roll too. I will definitely come back for their oysters, and maybe order a dozen next time. I am so happy they took the Inkind application for payment, as I had some credits to use. Even better is they also use Resy, and part of the 100 dollar platinum American Express credit every quarter. And since they own the fancier sister restaurant, The Foreigner, might take advantage over there. Overall A- (definitely go for their oysters!)

The fresh horseradish, mignonette, and crackers are always a great pairing, and those crackers are still so incredibly buttery. Sad to say that I'm bumping this place down to 2 stars only because we visited on a Thursday after seeing on their instagram that they did happy hour $30/dozen on Wednesday and Thursday (posted on February 2nd, and in their instagram bio) only to be charged full price. I asked and he said it was on Wednesday only, which is fine, but they should definitely update their social media.

This reads less like a sincere tribute to Native American history and more like a marketing…read moredepartment's fantasy of what Native American history looks like. The opening paragraph is historically simplistic to the point of being misleading. Thousands of years of Indigenous history across two continents are compressed into a cartoon narrative about tribes "taking over" America and earning their place through bravery. Entire civilizations, languages, governments, trade networks, spiritual traditions, agricultural innovations, and cultural achievements are reduced to a generic story about warriors and conquest. The text repeatedly treats hundreds of distinct Indigenous nations as if they were a single culture with a shared identity and experience. The Apaches, Cherokees, Navajos, Cheyennes, and countless others are mentioned almost as decorative references before being blended into one vague idea of "the Indian." Modern scholarship, Indigenous historians, and Native communities themselves have spent decades pushing back against exactly this kind of flattening of Native identity. The deeper problem is that Native Americans appear to function here primarily as a branding tool. Indigenous peoples are introduced, their history is briefly summarized, and then the narrative immediately pivots to selling hamburgers. The text essentially argues that because Native Americans were brave, a burger restaurant can inherit that "warrior spirit" and use it as a brand identity. That connection is so weak that it borders on absurd. The repeated use of terms like "warrior spirit," "warrior cooks," and "bravery" relies on some of the oldest and most overused stereotypes applied to Native Americans. It presents Indigenous peoples primarily as warriors, hunters, and tribal figures rather than as diverse, living communities with rich and evolving cultures. While courage and resilience are certainly part of many Indigenous histories, reducing entire peoples to warrior symbolism is not respect--it is stereotype. What makes this especially concerning is that there appears to be no meaningful connection between the brand and Native communities. Is the business Native-owned? Does it partner with Native organizations? Does it support Indigenous causes? Were Native people consulted in developing the brand? Is there any authentic Indigenous influence on the menu, recipes, sourcing, or business mission? The text offers no indication of any such relationship. Instead, it appears to borrow Indigenous identity, imagery, and symbolism while giving little back to the people whose cultures it claims to celebrate. As a result, the branding can feel less like appreciation and more like appropriation. Native American history becomes a backdrop, an aesthetic, and a source of marketing language rather than something treated with care, accuracy, or depth. The story invokes Indigenous peoples not to educate customers about them, but to create an atmosphere of toughness, adventure, and authenticity around a burger. From a branding perspective, the concept is surprisingly self-defeating. The story spends so much time romanticizing a vague and stereotypical version of Native American history that it never establishes a convincing reason why any of this relates to hamburgers in the first place. The connection feels forced, contrived, and ultimately unbelievable. Rather than strengthening the brand, it raises questions about why Indigenous identity was chosen as the foundation of the business at all. If the goal was to honor Native Americans, the brand should begin with historical accuracy, specificity, genuine relationships, and respect for the diversity of Indigenous cultures. Instead, it presents a romanticized and commercialized version of Native history that exists primarily to make a hamburger sound more exciting. Ultimately, the most difficult question this brand story fails to answer is also the most important one: Why are Native Americans central to the identity of this restaurant? If the answer is simply that concepts like bravery, warriors, and tribal imagery make for compelling marketing, then the brand is not truly celebrating Indigenous cultures--it is using them. That distinction matters, and it is why many readers may find this narrative not only historically questionable, but deeply inappropriate as the foundation of a modern business.
