    Happy to be here (thanks to Cole).
    Pattie M.

    Sometimes it's just takes a kind gesture. Cole (the security guard) noticed my husband was wearing a neck collar and using a walker after a bad accident. He came to our rescue with 2 chairs so he didn't have to stand (which was becoming a problem for him while we waited for a table). Thanks Cole. Tell your momma she did well!

    Main floor. Live band
    Victoria G.

    Atmosphere/music - Five stars Food/Drinks - Zero stars Service - 3 stars Live bands with good music on the first floor. We ended up in the second floor because we wanted food. No view unless you have a railing table. Service was okay. Seemed annoyed and it was so loud it was hard to communicate. Ordered a burger with a beyond patty substitute. The burger comes with 2 patties. I got ONE SUPER THIN patty even though I had to pay a $4 up charge. There were a half a handful of fries that were cold and I also got the Brussels sprouts. Those were Soaked in oil, hard, and had no flavor. They were awful. Super super disappointing and the prices are way higher than they should be even for a bar on the strip. Shots were flavorful but you barely get anything for the price and it's mostly mixers. Went to level 4 which had a DJ. Super fun, more of the party atmosphere. Great mix of music, fresh air, decent views although the side with good views was blocked off. This was the best part but again, no specialty cocktails. Just regular bar drinks that were extremely overpriced and the bartenders were pretty snotty. I get it's busy but you still have to have some customer service (no it had nothing to do with tipping - I had an open tab and my friend and I tip well). Ended up spending $250 on the burger brussel sprouts and a few drinks for me and my friend. Fun experience but probably wouldnt do it again and if I did would definitelyyyy not eat there. Wish I would've snagged a picture of the menu but I didn't. All the menus on Yelp are outdated. I want to say the burgers were $26 for the cheapest and up and the beyond substitute is four dollars. $30 horrible burger.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Cornbread
    Samantha Q.

    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.

    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.

    Not sure my wife and I are the TARGET AUDIENCE for Ole Red. Located on International Drive in Orlando, this is Blake Shelton's restaurant. He has one in Nashville as well. Our experience in Orlando was ok. First let me say our waitress Julianna was very good. She served with a smile and knew the menu very well as she had many favorites and recommendations. There was live music going on from a local duo and I have to admit the volume was very nice...not real loud which was nice. The prices went from reasonable to expensive but our bill for 2 was manageable. The food was tasty but at the same time just ok. I will say parking was challenging as we had to drive around the block before finding a parking garage. Understand on International Drive you have many options for food. Do your research ahead of time so you are not stuck at a place you will not be happy at

    Smash burger with hush puppies

    Service and food was ok, slow considering it wasn't busy while we were here on for lunch. Smash burger was dry, had to ask for extra sauce. Margaritas were not good. Disappointed that no Blake Shelton music was played during our lunch visit. May be a better dinner stop with live music.

    Is there a dance floor?

    Not when we went but it didn't stop people from dancing by their tables. There is room. Have fun.

    Is there a schedule for live music?

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

    Where is the best parking to dine at Ole red?

    Uber. But if you're driving then park in the parking garage. It's not that bad of a walk!

There are three different choices for seating. A hightop near the bar, regular tables at the bar, sitting at the bar, or sitting at a regular umbrella table by the pool. I guess that makes four options. I chose a high top. The menus are already on the tables and I was quickly seated and greeted by my waitress who asked what I wanted to drink and I ordered a club soda with lime. Yeah variety of good options for appetizers and meals ranging from a hummus salad to burgers to tacos and three kinds of fries including regular potato fries, sweet potato fries, and yucca fries. I opted for the shrimp tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries were nice and crispy and quite yummy. The tacos were not great but not awful and came with a green sauce that was pretty tasty. The tacos are included in the order so it made for a decent sized meal. I was surprised when I received the check to find out that they had charged me six dollars for my club soda. Every restaurant I have ever been to has never charge me for a club soda. So they not only charged me for it but charged me twice because I got a refill. When I pointed this out to the waitress she said it is categorized as a soda but after some discussion she removed one of the charges. So I still had to pay three dollars for a club soda. If you're in the hotel and looking for some quick bite that are a decent meal or hanging out by the pool this is a worthwhile option.

Bob Marley A Tribute to Freedom met all these requirements and blew our expectations out of the water. Yes, it was a splurge, but it was some of the best food we have had. And, we had great music accompanying our meal. I ordered the Natty Dread Vegetable Pasties with yucca fries and sweet bread. The filling was delicious, but it was the pastry dough that knocked my socks off. My husband agreed! I also split an Island Mai Tai with my husband--a real, classic mai tai,l with orgeat--and it was perhaps the best we'd ever had. (It was $18, though, for maybe 8 ounces, including ice and fruit--yikes!) The spouse had the jerk chicken with rice and pidgeon peas and some sweet plantains. (I traded some of my sweet bread for some of those sweet plantains--yum!) He said it was the best food he had while in Orlando. Our 12yo got a vegetable stew (Itel Soup) with root vegetables, cassava dumplings, black beans, and plantains. She thought it was fine originally, asked for salt, and then really liked it. The husband got the 12yo's leftovers, and he thought it was great, too (but agreed that in needed salt and pepper). Nonetheless, she liked it, and we all found something on the menu we could enjoy. Finally, the server was amazing. He was so great managing our tired, grumpy 12yo (and her tired, grumpy parents). He was able to coax her into choosing a dish and eating it, too, which I don't know if we would have succeeded in doing without him. He also pointed our the many non-alcoholic beverage options, so she was able to have her own tasty drink, a Jamaican Cream Soda. There were *several* vegetarian dishes on the menu that looked fantastic and I would love to have a chance to try. I hope we can make it to Orlando again sometime to try those other dishes!

The menu read great and we were excited to try this place since we love Jamaican Food. Was not easy to make a reservation - had to call Universal main line and choose from options. However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak. Server was just OK. He wasn't very attentive and did nothing to make our visit great.
