Lovely poolside cafe, but the reason I roused myself from my beach chair stupor is to say, what an outstanding Mahi Mahi sandwich! Perfectly cooked, juicy with grill marks. These chefs know what they're doing! read more

Knife Burger has somehow mastered serving a great burger while making you wonder if you've become invisible. The food is actually good, but getting served feels like a side quest. First you wait for a menu. Then you wait to order. Then, once your order is taken, your server vanishes into the witness protection program. The boldest part? An automatic 18% gratuity regardless of party size, while water refills are a self-service activity. Come for the burgers. Stay because you're still waiting for the check. read more

This restaurant is located in the middle of the JW Marriott pool area. You can sit at a table but there are also servers that walk around the pool area to take your order. They served the food directly to my pool chair. Great service! The fries tasted just like McDonald's fries (in the best way). The chicken was tender and delicious. read more

Knife Burger - Chicken tenders and fries - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The food is delicious upscale pool bar fare. Think brined chicken tenders, pimento cheese burger, shoestring fries. Everything is fresh and high quality. You'll pay resort prices of course and the service can be slow, but the food is very consistent and staff are friendly. One of my favorites here are the gourmet popsicles. It's an amazing treat by the pool on a hot day. read more

Knife Burger - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I ate here twice while staying onsite- the service can be a bit slow and spotty but the servers themselves are nice when they are around. They had a nice variety of stuff outside of burgers and while prices were high, I would say the portions matched the prices. The chicken tenders and fries were easily enough to split and so was the Poke bowl. I also enjoyed the turkey BLT as it had great bread and was hearty for the size. Drinks are super overpriced though for the size. Nice pool views and plenty of shade! read more

The issue with this place is that they automatically add 18% gratuity and are always jamming busy, so the servers will literally walk by you and not even look in your direction. They know they will make their money strictly on volume. read more

Grabbed a quick bite before heading out to the airport. This is an outdoor restaurant by the pool at JW Marriott. Excellent, friendly service and the food was decent. I enjoyed the fries, which were like McD's and had the Magic burger. Loved it was served up on an English muffin, but it was overdone for my taste. I had asked for medium, but it came well done. read more

Today for lunch I ate at Knife Burger . I got the wings and they were about 10 wings on my whole tray; and then for dipping sauce I got the Carolina barbecue. For drink I got a frozen strawberry daiquiri with a cute little cherry. The wings were very good our service name is Chris who gave us waters with lemon. However I tried ordering a normal housemate a tail and they have all their house make cocktails so I have food allergies so I couldn't do any of those because they didn't come in the class contact other excuses. And then I am also so surprised the whole menu doesn't have like a vegan option. So ambience of this restaurant it is or they do have a bar top; and they also have seats I will have to say the only kind to the outdoor seating is a couch but these little tables and it's definitely not big enough for two people if you get an appetizer in an entrée. read more

We decided to a cabana day at our recent stay at the JW so had lunch at Knife. I had the chicken tenders. I was envisioning the usual, but ended up with about 2 massive chicken breasts cut into strips. Don't get me wrong, they were pretty good with some being for "tender" then others. This was a plate for two. The hubby had to help me finish and we barely touched the fries. He had the double burger and said it was a 10/10. read more

Best wings! Wings seem simple to make, but so many restaurants screw them up! These wings with the dry rub were crispy, juicy and full of flavor!! read more

Knife Burger - Excellent wings!! - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Love getting lunch here when we hang out by the pool. Kids always orders their chicken tenders and quesadillas. I like their Caesar salad and chicken nachos. Hubby always order the burger. Yum! read more

The best part is that you don't have to dress out to eat here because is in the JWMarriot grande lakes river pool. This is the restaurant of Michelin star winner John Tesar with Knife and Spoon. The burgers are juice and big with a lot of flavor and melted cheese that is how I like them. The chicken and fries are very southern, crispy and big, the nachos are with a lot of brisket and the tortillas are super crunchy. Over all is a great place to have lunch and enjoy the pool on a sunny day!! La mejor parte es que no tienes que vestirte formal para comer aquí, porque está en la piscina del río JWMarriot grandes Lakes. Este es el restaurante del ganador de la estrella Michelin John Tesar con Knife and Spoon. Las hamburguesas son jugosas y grandes con mucho sabor y queso derretido, así es como me gustan. El pollo y las papas fritas son muy sureños, crocantes y grandes, los nachos son con mucho brisket y las tortillas súper crocantes. ¡Sobre todo es un gran lugar para almorzar y disfrutar de la piscina en un día soleado! read more

Knife Burger - Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It was a super busy Thursday. We sat down and was greeted by Chris right away. I ordered the poke bowl with salmon. It was out of this world amazing. It came with rice, seaweed, cucumber, radish, carrots, edamame, and seaweed salad. It was great for a hot summer day. It was so nice to relax by the pool. The seating and patio were really nice. Can't wait to try more things next time I go back. read more

The food is good, but the prices are high and the service is not great. I ate here twice during my stay at the hotel. The first time I ordered takeout at the bar and it was quick and delicious, but $33 for a Chicken Caesar Salad (tip included) is expensive. The second time I waited an hour for my food, but the Chicken Tenders and Fries were pretty good. However, the Caesar Salad the second time was just romaine lettuce, kale and a few croutons (they forgot the cheese, which was disappointing). read more

Don't get the burgers before the night staff or the head chef are on. The burgers are not worth the price charged! It's maybe a $10 burger at best when the "B" team is cooking. They messed up the temperature twice in a row. Sooo disappointed because the burger I had 2 days ago was perfect in every way, today it's like they gave all the way up and decided to cook McDonald's level burgers and just take in the customers money for no effort. read more

Nice set up and decor. Live music at mid day is a nice touch. Salad was really good. I would return. read more

Knife Burger - Knife Chop Salad with grouper - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I had the mahi mahi sandwich at the recommendation of the bartender, and it was solid. The fries were great. I also had the winter sangria, which was okay. BUT between Knife Burger and Bleu, I'd go back to Knife Burger before returning to Bleu for poolside lunch. read more

Enjoyed my lunch on a Sunday at the JW Marriott. We arrived right when it opened at 11am. Our server was quick to greet us and take our order. We tried the Chocolate Shake, Magic Burger and Chicken Tenders. Both meals came with fries and were really good! I asked for my burger pink as they only do pink/no pink but it was medium well at best. The burger tasted great overall so the temperature didn't really bother me. It's located right near the pool and they offer walk up service if you would like to take your food to go. The bar area was large and they offer nice tables surrounding the pool and the golf course area. read more

No service at the pool bar despite standing there for more than 5 minutes. Completely ignored by wait staff too.

On the best Mahi sandwich with green fried to tomato's. Got to try it. The service was great.

Service was great. I thought the burger was good but not worth the price . Plenty of shaded areas for groups of people to sit down. read more

Food was average poolside dishes. There was not a wide variety of choices and few healthy choices. Prices were extremely high.

The waiter was very attentive. The tables are outside by the pool, but covered. I got the mahi magi sandwich with fresh fruit. It was $22. It was good, overpriced, but I would buy it again. read more

Burger was a step above McDonalds for the price. Fries were good. Service was lousy even though it wasn't busy.

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately it just wasn't for us... With the award winning chef behind it we really thought we were in for a treat. Especially with the fact that Burger is in the name of the restaurant. The burger we got was the size of a normal slider burger and the server didn't even ask how we wanted it cooked. The burger didn't have a bunch of taste but with the toppings and a bunch of ketchup it was decent. The Mediterranean bowl was soooooooo salty I think I drank 4 glasses of water afterwards. Again I thought this was going to be such a great experience and for the prices charged, but was definitely disappointed and would not plan on coming back again. read more

We've stayed at the JW Marriott several times. All the restaurants, big and small, are excellent and service top notch. Knife Burger is the exception. Service is terrible - not asking what temperature you want your burger, not listening to your request for fruit, etc. Food quality is mediocre. Five Guys makes a better burger. Limited menu too - how about some salmon instead of cheap mahi mahi? They really need to do better. read more

Very tasty burger and fries. The grouper burger was also very delicious. We had a blast at the pool with yummy food

Got the Pimento Burger. Was cooked to order (medium) and would give 8.5/10. With a 10 bring something I'm not sure I would ever give. We come to Grande Lakes complex at least yearly and I'm very excited to have a burger better than any other in the reasonable vicinity be right at the pool! read more

NOT RECOMMENDED. We ordered the pimento burger and the meat was completely tasteless. No salt, no seasoning.

Be ready do an hour wait. people come in after us served before us. over priced. and I'm talking about over an hour for chips and guacamole. not five star. not even one star. just go to starbucks in the hotel. read more
