    Stopped by Ole Red on International Drive on a Saturday night. It was surprisingly pretty quiet for a weekend evening, which made for a laid-back atmosphere but not quite the lively vibe we expected. The drinks were okay -- nothing standout, but decent. The highlight of the night was definitely the band. They did a great job, sounded tight, and brought good energy to the room. If you're looking for live music in the area, it's worth checking out -- hopefully on a busier night for a more upbeat crowd.

    Took over 15 minutes to even get a server after we were sat. Then an additional 15 to get drinks. Food was horrible. Everything was lacking flavor.Burger was rubbery and the only taste you really got was liquid smoke. Should have known better when we didnt smell any smoke walking up to the building or when we walked in. On top of the over priced bad food, if you have a party of 6 or more they automatically add gratuity so you have no choice but to tip 20% for the horrible service

    I really enjoyed coming here. I came on a Sunday around 1 and they had great live music. It was surprisingly, not too busy so service was fast. The burger and fries were great, but the loaded tattoo is what really did it for me!

    My mother was visiting town and is a fan of Blake Shelton, so why not stop in for dinner. We were already at Icon Park for the Orlando Eye when we heard the country music playing which drew us in. It was around 5pm on a Friday night and the place was not very busy and we were seated right away. The restaurant is a live music venue. It has two floors, large stage in the center of the first floor and a large bar in the back. There is also a gift shop in the front with all sorts of merch and a photo booth where you can take a selfie with the Blake Shelton cardboard cutouts (which of course we had to do). The whole time (besides a few breaks) live music bands are playing. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started out trying one of the cocktails which was not bad and you even got to keep the glass mason jar style cup. Let's get to the food. We ordered the giant BBQ board to split between the two of us and had LOTS of leftovers to bring home. We thought this was the best way to try a little bit of everything. Standouts were the pulled pork and sausage. Plus the cornbread was delicious. The Mac n cheese was so-so. Also the baked beans needed more seasoning. The corn was yummy and the ribs were cooked well. The music was good and had nice energy in the room. Plenty of songs to sing along to.

    Never have been here before, but when I walked up the stairs, we came as a group from our company and they had every TV advertising our company which was really cool and very welcoming. Didn't understand exactly what I was looking at because I was like wait a minute that's her logo so that was very impressive. Then as we walked around, they were handing out hors d'oeuvres and the bar was open and there's gaming and we were upstairs because I heard some music that I looked down to see what I'm listening to and there was a live band, which is really really cool. The food was pretty good not five stars or anything, but it was pretty good. I will tell you that this service is absolutely amazing. The place is really awesome. Overall I would say this is a great place to go and hang out dance. Play some games and have some pretty decent food.

    Got seated sooner than expected, host and server with good memory. Adequate food portion. Good place for live music if your ears aren't as sensitive to the volume, 4 stars overall as talented performers won't disappoint.

    Live band

    The food is fast to the table and very good. Make sure to get the cornbread skillet...the best! Our server, Alyssa, was great. Grab your boots and stop in for live music and dancing.

    My family and I love Ole Red. Service was great. My niece had a great time learning to line dance to a couple songs. The live music is always so good. I tried the Buckshot Tacos which were yummy. We all shared the cornbread which is so good and I definitely recommend trying.

    This looks like such a cool place. I could never spend long inside as I arrived late. The first night it was closed due to a private party, which is nice that you have that option. We wanted to eat there for a late night snack but the kitchen was already closed so I recommend checking the hours beforehand. Seems to have two tiers...upstairs may be just for dining. Heading back soon and will come earlier.

    Bluetick Burger with tots
    Jenn B.

    My husband and I decided to check out Icon Park today. We decided to have lunch at Blake Shelton's "Ole Red" restaurant. We were seated immediately, our server came over shortly after and took our drink order which was margaritas. When our drinks were served we ordered our lunch. I ordered the Bluetick burger with cheese minus lettuce and done rare with tots. My husband ordered the Boom Smash burger Oklahoma style with fries, he asked done rare but she said it was too hard to do for smash burgers. When our food came out my burger was delicious, so juicy the bottom bun soaked up all the juices. May have been more medium rare vs the rare I ordered but still very satisfying. My husband's smashed burger was ok, his was overcooked for the way he has eaten other smashed burgers. Our drinks were good but were served in little plastic cups which you would expect for the price to be in a glass but they were good drinks. They did have videos playing on a big screen but different music playing in the restaurant, not sure why they don't have the music of the videos playing. We are happy we went and would like to go back to see the live band one evening with dinner.

    If you go to the "Orlando" location website, it will provide the month of November, the scheduled artist and time. 😁 Have Fun

I've come here for my birthday. I already have plans for a visit when my family gets here in two weeks. Obviously, the food is phenomenal. I usually get Art's Famous Fried Chicken, which they say is Buttermilk-brined for 24 hours then and then flash fried. I have a severe shellfish allergy, and they're always very cautious. No matter who the server or floor manager is. Typically, it's served with creamy mashed potatoes, but I usually swap it out with Momma's Mac and Cheese. I've also had the Smothered Chicken, Bee Haven Fried Green Tomatoes, and the Skilled-fried Chicken Paillard, which is what most of the staff recommends as their favorite dish. And you always have to get a cheddar drop biscuit. That's a non-negotiable. This restaurant is very popular and often gets quite busy, so I recommend to make a reservation as soon as you're ready.

    Food Made With Love…read more I'm visiting from out the state and the only food I desired was southern cooking. There were a few choices on Yelp and Google but I selected P&D. The first letter of the husband an wife names. My expectations were high, and they should have been based on the reviews. This is not a standalone location as the are other businesses within the same building. You won't see P&D on the exterior signage but you will see "Soul Food Kitchen" A la carte buffet style food served. I like this so I could see what I'm ordering. Which is way I should have not purchased the Mac&cheese. Macaroni noodles and shredded cheese melted within. A serious faux pas for macaroni and cheese. I observed how many customers appeared to be regulars, and several people were ordering additional food to take home. I ordered two full meals. The main dishes are served with cornbread dressing on the savory side or rice. One suggestion for P&D would be to offer a brown gravy option alongside that is not meat-based specifically for the dressing. The highlights for me were the yams, fried fish, and pork chop and red velvet cake. Those dishes were well seasoned & well-prepared. Without being critical of the other side dishes this is what I would say: Sharing a few side dishes with your group before committing to larger portions. If you're a singleton stick to yellow rice, yams, and beans. While some food choices did not meet my palate, I can understand why this place has a loyal following. The welcoming familial atmosphere, location, and comfort food are sometimes the basics of what people need to get through the day. Service: 5 stars Food portions: 5 stars Food presentation: 4 stars Parking: 5 stars Returning?: Unlikely "When food is made with love, it's hard to critique the heart."

So we ordered.. smothered pork chops, fried catfish and shrimp, lemon butter chicken wings, red rice, Collard greens, Lima beans, black eyed peas, cornbread, candied yams, mac and cheese, and some onion fries.. with some sweet tea. I want to tell you, every bite I took had me closing my eyes and smiling. My only complaint was the lima beans were a little bit salty, but when I ate it with everything else it didn't really matter. The lemon butter fried chicken wings were absolutely amazing. I have not tasted anything like that in my life. You can't go there and not get them. You need these wings. I'd also like to say that all the sides are meat-free , so vegetarians come get some . We ate till we were full, and we had enough to take home as well. We took an order of bread pudding home for dessert and that was absolutely delicious too. Overall absolutely great food. The staff took care of us very well. Highly recommended!

The combination of the crunchy fried exterior and the creamy grits inside is such a yummy experience. Lastly, you have to get beignets and an espresso martini. As a beignet obsessed person, it pains me to say that their bread pudding is the superior dessert. I'm not a HUGE fan of the croissant flaky style of beignet that's become the norm for most places, but that's what they have here.

Let's focus on the positives first: the atmosphere is incredibly fun and the live music Saturday night was a perfect touch at the bar. There were plenty of fun activities for the kids and there was an all-you-can-eat buffet for the kids with fried chicken and shrimp, macaroni and cheese, fries, and red velvet cupcakes. $25 is a deal if your child would chow down on shrimp, but it might not be a great deal if your child is usually full after four bites. Our server was absolutely fantastic, friendly and very attentive. We started off the dinner with some fantastic deviled eggs and a lemon cello cocktail. I ordered the shrimp and grits and was really disappointed with the tiny, overcooked shrimp and crawfish that accompanied the slightly bland grits. The shrimp on the kids buffet was at least four times larger than the sad little shrimp in my dish. I think the sausage was cut into smaller chunks just so it wouldn't be so obvious how small the shrimp was. My husband didn't love his heirloom tomato salad and said the Wagyu appetizer was disgusting. Dessert was mediocre. The macarons that accompanied my crème brûlée were stale and chewy. This is a fun spot for a drink and appetizer, but I would skip eating dinner at Highball & Harvest.
