    Moon cricket burger
    Jim K.

    The food was great and the service was great! When we arrived it was packed inside and outside. We got lucky and found a booth in the back available. Tables weee clean but the bottles were sticky and needed to be wiped down.

    Was visit g the farmers market and came across this place. You sit yourself. It did take long for someone to come by and help us. But prices and portions are reasonable. Had the wings and they were decent size and crispy. My husband had the wagyu burger and it was very good.

    We walked into this spot because our usual lunch spot in Downtown Winter Garden sadly has shut down. We sat down immediately, since it was first come first serve seating. We were seated approximately 10 minutes before we were acknowledged and given menus. I ordered a Reuben sandwich with fries and a grapefruit beer, which wasn't listed on the extensive beer menu, but I saw it in the cooler, from where I was seated. It was brought out with a chilled glass, which was nice. The food came out about 7-10 minutes later. The sandwich was great. Plenty of corned beef and sauerkraut. It could have used a little bit more thousand island dressing. Overall, it was nice ambience, friendly service and delicious.

    My mom wanted to come here for Mother's Day and I was a little concerned after seeing some of the other people's reviews however, it was Mother's Day so I didn't say anything and we went. It ended up being a very good experience. I wouldn't say that they have the friendliest service, but they did a great job of getting our order, making sure we had refills and taking care of anything else we needed. The food was delicious, especially the homemade potato chips. There's something for everyone, meat eaters and vegetarians alike. The portion sizes are quite large and the prices are very reasonable. I would not hesitate to go back.

    Our experience here was very disappointing to say the least. The original plan was to eat at Thai Blossom; however, we were a group of four and figured that the menu at Moon Cricket Grille provided lunch items that would better suit two in our party. Additionally, when arriving Moon Cricket was quite busy leading us to believe that, wow, everyone loves this place lets give it a try, so we did. We were promptly seated with little to no wait and our server Hannah was very accommodating and friendly. Things started out great. I ordered a PBR and it was ice cold. We ordered the fried green tomatoes appetizer ($10) to share and they were hot and good. The turning point was when our meals arrived. We realized there was no silverware and we had to jump through hoops to get them. My wife's chicken avocado sandwich ($14) was so dry that she had to ask for a side of dressing to get it down. She had to wait almost 10 minutes for Hannah to deliver it so she can eat her meal. The potato salad was horrible, big chunks of dried potato with barely any mayo and absolutely no flavor. Her soup, the shrimp chowder was miserable. Mostly broth, little to no shrimp to be found and no potatoes, so its definably not a chowder. My grilled Mahi Reuben ($15) was the saltiest meal I had ever been served. At first, I thought it might be the sauce or the sauerkraut but it was the fish, way too much salt folks. The fries were also room temperature, crap! Hannah did provide me with a fresh side of fries which was good, of course they arrived toward the end of the meal. We complained to our server and the manager, they apologized, but the only thing they would comp was the soup, which was a $1 add-on, woohoo! Our server Hannah's demeaner changed from accommodating and friendly to nonchalant and dismissive. When we told the manager about how bad the food and soup was, he rebutted with customers travel for miles just to eat here all the time; yeah right. I don't like giving bad reviews but this lunch put a huge damper on our wonderful day out in Winter Garden. Now every time I visit this area of Winter Garden I will be reminded of this bad experience.

    We enjoyed the food , atmosphere, service , and pricing. We will defitnely go back and try other items in their menu but as our first time visit we really enjoyed it.

    I had a bad vibe when I walked into this place. I told the group I said I don't want to eat here. But we did. I did not check the reviews. I think everyone was just so hungry we said let's just eat here. Very bad decision.!! The food was horrible. The place was dirty. Definitely will never come back. We got the fried green tomatoes which are passable but didn't realize they were $10. The fish was so salty it was disgusting. The chicken avocado sandwich which was dry as bone. The coleslaw tasted like vinegar and salt. The fries were served cold. We had to order more. The potato salad was a bunch of cold potatoes on a plate dried up crap. I return them for some sweet potato fries that were actually pretty good. We ordered the soup of the day which was a joke It said it was supposed to be a shrimp chowder It was bland bland bland with not one piece of shrimp to be found. So we returned it for our money back. Server told us people come every day just to get the soup. My sister got a salad she said it was actually pretty good. I guess it's hard to mess up a salad. What a huge disappointment of all the places we could have chose and Winter Garden we came here. Definitely ruined the day. I will never come back..

    This was a delicious find. The beer selection is also fantastic!! It's on my list to come back up to when I'm back in town. Check out the menu if you like really good food and we'll chosen flavors.

    In searching for a place to have lunch in Winter Garden, which is a halfway point between those of us meeting up, I came across MoonCricket. I liked the name. There was outside seating, and the menu looked good. We got the Bam-Bam Shrimp and Pork Rind basket for starters. Both very good, but I definitely recommend the pork rinds. They are cooked fresh, hot, crispy, and flavored perfectly. Most of us got burgers of some sort. I got the Mediterranean Lamb Burger. It was so juicy! The goat cheese and Tzatziki Sauce set it off for an overall excellent flavor. Hubbie got the bacon cheese burger, which was also cooked great and very tasty. Our server was attentive, the inside seating/bar quaint, and quite a bit of outside seating for the space. Very happy with the experience.

    Shrimp poboy
    Cat F.

    We visited this town with its adorable, quaint Main Street, complete with a large courtyard and wisteria-covered pergola and picked here to eat. The food was good. Tip : the shrimp tacos have way more shrimp than the shrimp po boy. The shrimp were nice and big, very tasty. The boom boom sauce, if I'm remembering the name right, had no boom to it, basically tasted like 1000 island without the pickle relish. They had an extensive beer menu. Full bar.

    Bacon cheese burger and a turkey ruben
    Branden T.

    Mixed it up today. We decided to try lunch out in Winter garden When looking at the options we came across this place. The menu is pretty cool and had a variety of options we mixed it up I went with a bacon cheeseburger and French fries the kids had a Burger and a grilled cheese and the Mrs. Had a turkey ribbon. The Rubin was fresh juicy hot turkey with flavourful sour crowd the the super tater fries were awesome and the seasoning was very good on them overall the Burger was very good and did not have that Flash frozen after taste.

    Bathroom that came from Rosie o'grady's
    Felicia K.

    You have to step off the sidewalk and literally go to the door to see the menu and then open the door to see the vibe inside because of the beautiful stain glass from an old church they salvaged. Go in get a table and read the back of the menu of the all the history that is in this place. You will stop reading and look around to find all the things they salvage from all over place. the blimp propeller that is hanging from the ceiling came from a blimp. The doors to the bathrooms came from the famous Rosie O'Grady's in downtown Orlando. Must read my picture of the menu and go check it out. This building was built 1912. It took 2 yrs. To restore. Love people that salvage, restore and tell a story of places around us. The place was a little busy. It was noon on a Saturday. So read the menu figure out what you are going to eat and then read the history go a a scavenger hunt inside the restaurant to find all the treasure and then the waitress will show up to serve you. The people that work in this place take pride in what they serve. I appreciate that. It did take a bit to get our food but it was ok. We had nowhere to be. So we enjoyed each other and all of what this place offer. The burgers was cooked just the way we order it medium rare. It was juicy and fresh. French fries were crunchy in the outside and soft in the middle. Toppings were fresh. The fish tacos did not look like there was a lot of fish but they use a bigger tortilla and the tacos had a generous amount of fish, tortillas were grilled which put another layer of flavor, shredded cabbage, tomatoes and homemade bam bam sauce. I order a side of avocado and put on top of tacos. Tacos were flavorful and juicy. Chips were warm and salsa was flavorful and nice side with tacos. They are also known for the variety of beers. Whenever you consume 99 bottles of beer, you get your name put above the coolers. There's a song that goes with this fun activity or game. Look it up! Servers are welcoming diner style, happy and upbeat. They seated us in a booth by the bathroom hallway , the food ready window and the end of the bar. So we were front and center of all the operations. It was a perfect area for first timers to get the lay of the land. the staff flows well together and looks out for each other and makes sure all is well with food and customers. "Espirit de corp" I really enjoyed the experience. Go immerse yourself in a little history with good food and service.

    Carrot cake leftovers
    Mandy P.

    Have been told great things about this local little place since we moved here. Finally came in to give it a shot and think we found our Friday night hangout!! It was a no kids kinda date night so we pretended we were young and sat at the bar. Hannah came right over and took our drink order. She was super friendly and brought everything right away. We will def be back to see her. 99 beer challenge was def started. (Drink 99 beers and get your name on the wall! Don't worry, it's not all at once!!) Menu has a lot of options. Everything was so fresh and prepared to order. The shrimp tacos were awesome. I could seriously just eat a plate of that shrimp. It was so fresh and plump. Burgers were loaded and fries were thin and crispy just the way they should be! Carrot cake was mediocre. Could def tell it had been frozen but she was honest that it was not made in house. Could prob go to Publix and get a frozen thawed piece of the same quality. Will not order that again but that would be my only complaint. Street parking. ATM inside. But cards accepted. Bathrooms inside. Indoor and outdoor seating. Go earlier for bar seats, it filled up super quick and had people waiting the later it got. Lots of friendly locals - which was a major plus in our book!! But Hannah is who made it for us! We will be back for sure based on service!

    Nice stained glasd.

Let's talk about the chicken & waffles--absolutely phenomenal. The chicken was perfectly seasoned with a crisp, golden exterior and juicy, flavorful interior.

It's one of those dishes that makes you pause for a second because it's just that good.

Our server was very pleasant and accommodating. We had a larger party booked and not everyone ended up arriving, which I'm sure was frustrating, but she handled it graciously and never let it show. The tapas menu is extensive and honestly a little overwhelming in the best way. There were so many tempting options it was hard to narrow things down. We went with the truffle fries, the mac and cheese carnitas tacos, and a bolognese-style pasta dish. Everything was decadent. Truly rich, indulgent food across the board, so this is not a place you leave feeling light. If you're in the mood for comfort-forward, indulgent dishes in a beautifully atmospheric setting, this spot delivers. Overall, I'd absolutely give it another visit.

Tres Amigos salsa has a variety few different flavors that go well with their tacos available at their restaurant. The flavors for the salsas are, Original, Hot, Smoky, Verde, and their Kicked up Queso. What's interesting about their Queso is that they add their original salsa to their queso to apply that flavor to the cheese! These flavors were great, and the Kicked up Queso stood out majorly! For the dinner, there are four taco options; steak, chicken, shrimp, and veggies. You have the option to have your tacos on a corn or flour tortilla, and is paired with black beans and rice. You are also able to order these tacos individually, or in a family pack of four. I ordered a steak taco, and they cooked the proteins on the grill and gives the protein a nice char! They also grill the tortillas to give them some color as well! The tacos are a Tex-mex style, and you're given guacamole that has a tiny kick of spice, and some greens to top. This is good stop for a late lunch, and since it's a small place, it's best for takeout only. The owner did inform my group that they plan on expanding the restaurant and menu, to more options, which will also lead to a change of hours. This is a good stop a quick lunch and tacos.
