Loved Kappy's, the food, the service and the ambience were so good. Yes, it's old school, it's nothing fancy, it's simple, but that is what makes it great. This is a landmark in Maitland and if you're from the area or out of town like us, it just gives you those good vibes, you are experiencing Americana at its finest. Please get the cheesesteak it was crazy good, good the burger, simple but delicious and the fries too while you're at it. Enjoy the milkshakes and root bear float, they take their time making them from scratch so you can tell they are quality. And if you have some time pull up a stool sit down at the counter and enjoy the conversations that come. Granted it doesn't take long for them to make the food, but sit back relax and enjoy this special place that you can tell means a lot to the community. read more

Kappy's is a Maitland institution for a reason. Every time I stop in, it never disappoints. My go-to is the Kappy's Cheesesteak made with seasoned ground beef instead of traditional sliced steak--and honestly, I prefer it that way. Add the mushrooms... it's a must! The sandwich is messy, cheesy, flavorful, and exactly the kind of comfort food you're craving. Be prepared for a delicious, sloppy bite from start to finish. Friendly service, consistently great food, and a local favorite that's stood the test of time. If you haven't been, put Kappy's on your list. Highly recommended! read more

Kappy's Subs - Burgers Near Me - Maitland, Florida

Kappas has been around for so many years it's really a nostalgic place to go. I went and got a kappas sub and it was so good I got green peppers banana peppers and mushrooms on it! Ambiance It's definitely small but it's a walk up window and a little counter on the inside with some seating and outside with seating as well! The lady at the window was very sweet and soft spoken! This place is good! I only gave it 4 stars because I wish it had more toppings for me to put on my sub but overall it was good and it's a 9/10 for me read more

Another place I'm not sure why I drove past all these years. A really tiny inside seating but lots outside although it was too chilly when we went. We started with fried mushrooms which were delicious! Hot dog was split and grilled and really good. I might skip the slaw next time but it was still really good. My friends got a cheesesteak and a burger both said they were yummy. Service at the counter was attentive and prompt. I'll definitely go back when I want basic comfort food. read more

Okay so I know Kappy's Subs has a large following in Orlando. We've been meaning to stop by for forever but never felt like dinner style sub. We visited on a weekday and it was pretty busy. Ordered the Kappy's Sub with all the toppings of mushrooms, onions, peppers and banana peppers. I didn't expect that the meat would be more ground beef than the traditional shaved meat, but my fault for not reading the menu. We ordered that sub to split, a side waffle fries, that comes with a sauce and a large drink. For whatever reason the fountain soda seemed to be off on the syrup ratio... Kinda sad bc I was looking forward to a crispy Coke. IMO I thought the sub was super greasy and it was hard to even hold with grease dripping. We ended up spending around 18 bucks for 1 combo meal, which I thought that was kinda pricey. The fries were also super small but I liked the option for sauces. Overall I wasn't impressed and don't get the hype. read more

Omfg There is a reason this one of the OG food stops in Orlando. What great food This has been on my bucket list since I moved up here 3 years ago. Many choices, I decided on the Original cheese steak and the Kappyd Burger Both weren't fancy with B's like a brioche bun. Just good ol quality ingredients that melted together perfectly Burger was cooked well and the toppings made it great I went thinking I was going to have one sandwich and take the 2nd home Instead I devoured the first and couldn't wait and had the 2nd I was full the rest of the day. Definitely had a food coma Great job read more

Ground meat cheesesteak? No thanks! I was underwhelmed by my "Kappy's Cheesesteak" with steak (loose term), cheese (barely any) and grilled onions (diced and cooked in with the meat). The meat was either chopped very fine or was just ground. Look at the stuff that fell out... looks like ground to me. It was "iconic" in the same way White Castle or McDonalds is iconic. I was debating between this cheesesteak and the Italian (regular) and went with the cheesesteak due to all the reviews. But it was basic and nothing spectacular. It WAS served pretty hot which was awesome. The place was old school for sure with a window to order outside, a few tables scattered around (some covered, some in the sun), and a pretty simple menu. You could also sit inside (on stools like an old diner) which I'd imagine is good on a super hot day, but have no idea if it's actually hotter INSIDE than out. I added it to my list as it closed for good and had lines around the block for one last sub. Then something happened and they reopened and the hype died down a bit. If I go back, I'm skipping the cheesesteak and trying something else. And it's a big if as I just wasn't impressed based on all the good reviews. read more

it's old af but it's a goodie. The food is pretty basic but it's quality and diner style. The service is amazing, they are fast and efficient and although they may have young boys working there they are some of the most polite, well thoughtful, can hold a better / decent conversation than boomers these days. I love the fact you can eat inside the cozy hole in the wall or eat outside OR use their outside window for takeout. What a great place. I enjoy the italian sausage with onions and spicy mustard. I try to go when I drop my kid off for chef class. read more

It's our very first visit and we have to say we love it! We pass it all the time and just we're tempted to have a dad/daughter lunch. We tried the corn dog and Kappys cheesesteak with a large seasoned fry and sweet tea. Service was great and quick. Came out piping hot and was delicious. read more

Went to Kappy's for the first time. Dined inside. Definitely small old school diner vibe inside. Service was a bit slow but very friendly. The subs well worth the wait. Delicious! We had the Hot pastrami and the cheesesteak with sides of fries and fried mushrooms. Everything is served hot and fresh. Absolutely no complaints. Great food especially for the price. Highly recommended trying Kappy's. 5 stars. read more

We are so happy that Kappy's Subs did not end up closing after all. We got to try them out this year for the first time and absolutely loved the food there, as expected. This is much more than your little hole-in-the wall sandwich shop; it is a neighborhood favorite gem that feels as though you've stepped back in time both with the cozy diner vibes and the prices are great value. People of all ages were there, seated both inside and outside. We sat at the bar and ordered KAPPV'S CHEESESTEAK ($10.75). which is their original creation made with ground chuck, grilled onions, and American cheese. It's served very hot and I had to pace myself. Originally I thought I would need to take half of it home with me, but the universe said NOPE, NOT TODAY. I devoured the entire thing and did some deep yoga breathing to cope afterwards. We're so lucky to have Kappy's in the neighborhood and hope to have them around for years to come. Go check them out and support local. read more

Finally made it to what's been a dubbed a Florida MUST - & I agree! I was looking for a sandwich on the way to Orlando from Daytona and this happened to line up perfectly. My initial description was, this tastes "like the 90s". That made sense to a friend, do with that what you will. Nowadays sandwiches don't tastes as fresh, they aren't dressed properly, and these came ready for the occasion in every way. I was in a rush, the pick up instructions were simple, and I only wish I had gotten more. This is a must try all over again, glad its not too far away. read more

Kinda' dig the old school look and feel of the place, but the Plilly Cheese steak was just OK+. I thought it was also a bit small for $13 (or, maybe they should also have a large size for $16?). All in all, I can see the retro attraction, but is also doesn't feel like a place to charge $8 for a hot dog, either. Better than average, but not a place I'd go out of my way for. read more

Remember that out pour of folks coming together to save Kappy's? Well I had not had the pleasure at that time, but now, I get it. So shout out to the people coming together for keeping Kappy's open because this slapped. I was recommended The Kappy's Cheesesteak and when I heard it was prepped chopped cheese style, something I'm also not familiar with, a "no" was far from my vocabulary and it delivered on that recommendation. Nice to chat with some other patrons and the guys workin; definitely chopped it up about Philly and other steak spots worth visiting while sitting outside. Inside looked like a vibe too, so after a hard days work, imma make it inside come my next visit. 4/5 only because I wanna try more of the menu. Give me 2/2 experiences and I can't imagine anything less than that 5. read more

Was really looking forward to trying Kappy's as it seemed like the community really rallied around them not shutting down when they had a leasing issue a few months ago. Unfortunately I was left disappointed. The staff was very unfriendly and unprofessional, said we were taking too long to decide to order and made us incredibly uncomfortable with some comments that were made. The unpleasant experience aside we were pretty disappointed by the food. Ordered 2 philly cheesesteaks and some fries. The sandwiches were dry and lacking in flavor. The fries were good. Have had better sandwiches from Publix. Over all not worth the stop, don't see myself returning. read more

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing... but it was barely just okay. I would normally order the Reuben at any new deli style restaurant that I try but I resisted the urge given they had a sandwich bearing its own name. So against my better judgement, I stepped out on a limb and ordered the Kappy Special with American cheese, peppers, onions, mushrooms (didn't realize they'd be canned) and banana peppers, fries and a drink. It was made to order and super fresh and it didn't take very long. The guy was helpful enough when I ordered. It really was a decent overall experience but I just ordered the wrong thing. I didn't realize I'd be getting an actual ground beef Cheesesteak. So ground beef with a little salt, onion powder.. and a few toppings literally NOTHING fancy. I work nearby but I doubt I'll come back, I'm just not impressed. I also wouldn't want to waste another $17 to be disappointed. read more

Kappy's Subs - Kappy Cheesesteak... boringggg! - Burgers Near Me - Maitland, Florida

Kappy's Subs in Maitland, FL is a great old school dinner that keeps it simple in every best way possible. I did a take out order and the serving size was great. Everything was packed, fresh, and still tasted great by the time I had gotten settled down. I ordered a chili cheese dog and a slaw dog, they were reasonably priced for what you get. They both had good flavor and balance to them. This place will be my new go to in Orlando when I want that retro diner feel. It was quick, fast comfort food and the customer service was great, everyone was also super friendly. The staff was welcoming, and picky was easy and fast. Now I know why this is one of the original food spots in Orlando. I would definitely come again and try out more on their menu! Next time I want to try one of their cheese steaks (the aroma of them filled the air and smelled so good). read more

Kappy's makes the best sub in Orlando. It's historic, charming, and I haven't had anything that wasn't delicious. The turkey is my favorite but the classic Italian and onion rings are really good too. A delicious and affordable local option! The staff and vintage diner both make Kappy's a frequent stop of mine. read more

DON'T order the Cheesesteak! This place used to be a gem back in the day. I have no idea what happened, but their Cheesesteak sub was awful. For the price, they give you such a small amount of unseasoned ground beef, the bun was super soggy, they didn't put any cheese on it and the grease seeped through the bag. They also forgot the onions. Once I got home, I had to switch rolls that I had at home, because the one they gave me was a soggy mess. Then I took the meat out and put it in a pan with my own cheese and diced cooked onions. For what I paid, I shouldn't have had to "doctor" it up at home. Growing up, this place was THE place to go for subs. NOT ANYMORE. Maybe it's the owners? Maybe the cooks don't care? Either way, it's a NO GO from here on out for me. read more

Kappy's exceeded expectations! Opted for inside seating and enjoyed friendly service during a lunch rush. The interior is pretty small with counter seating only and the outside had picnic benches to sit at. The Kitchen Sink hot dog was a tasty, satisfying choice ($7). It was packed with flavor but a little messy! The Philly cheesesteak ($11), was a highlight as well - you can't go wrong! The seasoned fries were a perfect side and I would recommend a large if you are sharing. Everything on the menu looked delicious and I'll definitely be back! Kappy's in Maitland is a must-try! read more

This is an old school sub shop that has been a staple in the Maitland neighborhood. I love that you can watch them cook the food and make the milk shakes behind the coutner if you choose to dine inside. I've always taken my order to go, and get the Kappy special so I can get the Padres creation which has philly steak and groundchuck. which chas the sandwich loaded wit hmeat. I give this place 4 stars as the service can be hit or miss, as I've had short customer service, or great customer service. read more

Kappy's Subs is an iconic institution here in the Orlando, Florida area. Kappy's Subs is located in Maitland, Florida, so Kappy's Subs is located between Orlando and Longwood, Florida. Kappy's Subs has been in operation since 1967, that is a long time and Kappy's Subs is definitely a great option for a cheesesteak, burger or more. The service has always been friendly and professional. The ambiance is pretty humble, but there really isn't anything too fancy about the food that they serve here at Kappy's Subs. The cheesesteaks here are definitely good for what you can get in Florida and I would definitely recommend Kappy's Subs. read more

For many generations of Central Floridians and visitors from near and far, Kappy's Subs has been satisfying its customers with tasty hand-crafted subs and sandwiches and waffle fries. A youthful 56 years and counting, Kappy's is a certifiable OG destination. Like I did with another OG eatery in town, I've driven past Kappy's hundreds of times, and thought "I need to stop there one day." I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak, minus the bell peppers, and hoped the reviews I read and the pictures I've seen on Yelp were accurate. True to form, the cheesesteak looked exactly like the pics and tasted on point! The steak was cooked and seasoned just right; the cheese melted and folded in perfectly; the generous banana peppers on top were assembled in a nice, soft hoagie roll; and all worked together for a satisfying sub. Note to the Philly audience: No red sauce, grilled (caramelized) onions, or Cheez Whiz are options here. Ordering and payment are at the front window and pick up is on the side. Our orders were finished in a fairly normal amount of time considering subs are made to order. Plenty of parking is available and that includes the side on E Sybellia Ave. Outdoor seating at picnic-type tables is available and limited indoor, diner style stools can be had for the hardy person who doesn't mind not having AC in the Florida heat. Now that I've finally gone back in time to another Orlando OG diner, I'm looking forward to returning to try a different sub. read more

The Philly was good but wish it had a bit more flavor and I also wish it was bigger. The sandwich I got was very small compared to what the images looked.

How have I never been here in my 33 years of living in Orlando?!! Wow I was so impressed by the Kappy's cheesesteak!

But the food and the classic fast food joint look to this place will definitely bring me back. read more

Came in on a weekday for lunch and went up the outside ordering window. Greeted and ordered promptly. The soda machine is accessible outside and you get a huge cup. The food was brought to the window quickly and we got our lunch hot and fresh. The sandwiches are phenomenal with many options to customize. The fries are fresh and hot. The corn dog was small so I see why they offer a 2 corn dog deal. Overall, this was exactly what you'd expect from a little dive spot and it's the closest thing to Cookout you can find in Orlando! read more

Kappy's is a Maitland staple that's been serving the area since the 60's. They serve hot dogs, sandwiches, burgers, and more! We tried the hot dog to go with the nostalgic aesthetic of the place! The Kitchen Sink - a foot long hot dog served on a sub roll to allow the toppings to keep from falling! Chilli, cheese, onions, slaw, kraut, and coleslaw! The most satisfying hotdog I've had in my life. Unique and filling! I also highly recommend the seasoned fries... a must try in the Maitland area! read more

THEY SPIT IN OUR FOOD. We came last night expecting an awesome local Philly cheese steak experience, but we got quite the opposite. From the start they were very rude, and after saying thank you have a good night, she stared at me faked wave and mocked me to her coworker. I asked for them to turn on the fountain machine and she gave me an attitude and I think they spit in our food. Worst experience ever. NEVER GO THERE. read more

This review is long overdue, but when I saw the picture of my Honey Cuban in my phone my mouth started watering! That is how good it was! We had the opportunity to try Kappy's Subs food truck at a food truck event, and let me say the sandwich was the best thing we had at the event! I got the Honey Cuban and it was delicious!

Kappy's is a local gem. Would love to know the exact number but they have cranked out 1000's of burgers, cheesesteaks, milkshakes, etc over the years (ok, I was never good at math but really this is more like the numbers they do during the daily lunch rush). My family loves to stop in to pick up or eat outside on their patio (when it is Florida cool) and those milkshakes satisfied my wife's pregnancy cravings over the years. The staff is friendly and as with most places has changed over the years. The quality is good but can be hit or miss. The burger is the most consistent thing quality wise I have had. The Kappy's Cheesesteak I inhaled on my most recent visit was delicious. If you have lived in Orlando all your life or just visiting you should check this place out. read more
