Was having a "tourist day" in Orlando today at Icon Park. We decided to stop in and try this place. We have been wanting to try it for a while, and since we were here we wanted to stop in. The restaurant was designed really nice. Stage in the middle for live performances. Staff was really friendly. Our server Jeremy was ok. Had to wait for a refill and he disappeared a lot. We started with the Tots appetizer. House made tots. Oh man those were good. The brisket chunks had a lot of fat pieces. Which I enjoy, my husband doesn't. The cheese curds were a good addition too. I always love a good cheese curd. For my entree, I got the Ole Red Smash Burger. One of their signature offerings. For a $24 burger and fries, I expected a little more to be honest. Especially in the presentation. The burger itself was pretty good. The "boom boom" sauce on it left a LOT to be desired. Nothing boom boom about it. And the "seasoned fries" we not seasoned at all. Nothing different than regular Sysco fries deep fried and served. Overall, underwhelming experience all together. Glad we went, but not sure if it's worth a return trip for us.

Main floor. Live band

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.

So happy to discover that this restaurant owned by Blake Shelton is in Orlando as well. Nicole was the server that took care of my family and I when we stopped by to have lunch. My family and I ordered the jam burger and it was delicious. I tried this burger at the Tennessee location and I enjoyed that location and the burger even more. However, this burger was delicious still. I ordered this burger with tater tots and they were amazing as well. I really like this place because they play live country music everyday. The valet is free if you go to this restaurant. I would definitely go back.

The best part about this spot is the live music. Saw Jordan Mohr there and she was great. Food was just okay. Service was right on par. I think it's cool to offer the take-home glass with certain drinks at the price they do offer that option at. The cocktails are good. I like that they offer the Seniorita THC beverage. But other than that? Overall, it's just a very "okay" experience.

Jane S.

First time eating at Ole red and it such a beautiful restaurant. This restaurant is Blake Shelton restaurant. This restaurant provides free valet parking. I ordered a bacon jam burger on which was very good along with a side of homemade tater tots. Nicole was our server and she provided great customer service. There was live band performing. Today was my twin sister and I birthday and I think Ole red should make your birthday special with a dessert or something. Beside that the food was good.

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.

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.

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!

Band

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.

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!

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.

Syreta G.

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.

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!

It was the perfect atmosphere for a quick stop on a Wednesday. We came at about 2:00pm and were greeted by the sweetest bar staff and asked to take a seat wherever we'd like!

Such a flavorful burger that I didn't find too over the top. I had a few of my party's truffle fries and they were incredible as well.

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

I am not a nightclub person at all but I will always go for Red Coconut Club at Universal City…read moreWalk. Over the last few years which has turned me into a fan has been their theming overlays during the year. They usually do this during Mardi Gras, the summer and then Halloween Horror Nights. They will completely transform the inside with decorations and such. They also offer unique cocktails that are themed to the overlays. Recently over the summer, they had an 80s and 90s overlay, which for an 80's kid, I loved this! There was a giant light brite, tons of colors and great music. It was so fun! During these overlays, there is no cover charge and kids are welcomed to come in as well. I am not sure if there is a charge when there is not an overlay. I know there was years ago but that could have changed. You are also allowed to bring food in which my wife and I will do frequently. We love to grab a seat, get some drinks and then send one of to grab some bao buns from next door. Perfect little snack! Once you are inside, there are two floors, both of them with seating (tables, couches, etc). The dance floor and DJ is located on the first floor. They also have multiple bars, 3 to be exact. There have been overlays as well that had different specialty drinks at each bar. I will say that the specialty drinks tend to be very sweet, so sweet, it is not my cup of tea and even my wife who does enjoy a sweet drink, usually says it is too much. I think they have to work on these but they are strong I will say! It is also very expensive, their drinks usually come in around $18-$20 which is extremely expensive. I do get it is a theme park but wow! I will also say the bartenders are always friendly and chatty, if you tip them well, which we always do, they start to remember us! Overall I really enjoy coming here for the special overlays. It is a fun thing do after a day at the park or on a Friday night as a local. You can bring kids, but I would probably not bring them to late, that is usually when it gets busier and more drinks are flowing. Their current overlay is Dead Coconut Club for Halloween Horror Nights and we cannot wait to see it! They also did one for Christmas last year and I am hoping they will contuine that!

We only go during the overlay. Most recently over the summer, they had an 80s and 90s overlay and we loved it! It was so much fun, lots of decorations, theming inside, special drinks and great music. During the overlay there is no cover, I'm not sure if there is at other times throughout the year. You can also bring food inside which we also do sometimes. Inside has two floors with seating on both. The dance floor and DJ is on the first floor. It can get very loud and very busy inside but the music is always good. The drinks are fine, they are usually very sweet, the specialty ones and can get very pricey. I usually do not love the drinks here and I honestly think beer and wine is the best way to go. I will also say that their drinks are extremely expensive, they come in usually around $20 which is high and they are not very large. The bartenders are always really friendly and chatty. Overall I do think this is a fun place. Kids are welcome here, I think until a certain time. But it is a fun place. We like to go for a night out or a fun night with our friends. The current overlay is Dead Coconut Club for Halloween Horror Nights. And they will more than likely do something for Christmas. I definitely think this is worth checking out.

We did have to wait for just a minute because they were at changeover for servers and many of the night servers were just coming on.. We started with the lump crab hush puppies. They come as an order of four and they literally just kind of pop in your mouth. They are so good. We would definitely come back just to have those. My husband got the Cajun steak, but he got everything that comes on the steak on the side, including the seasoning. He wasn't sure how spicy the seasoning was or what the sauce was and he likes to be able to control that himself. Steak was good. He did have a little bit of the season and said next time he definitely order it with the seasoning on as the seasoning wasn't that spicy. He also got a side of the au gratin potatoes and the collard greens. The collards were not the best. They definitely need some more flavor. He added hot sauce to it and it helped it but they definitely need some additional seasoning. The potatoes were good although as you got to the bottom, they definitely were not cooked all the way through. They could've been cooked a little bit longer. I got the chicken and waffle - it comes with four pieces of chicken and a half waffle. The waffle is really delicious. It's got a little crunch on the outside but a little sweetness in it and the chicken was absolutely amazing. I would definitely get the fried chicken again there is a reason they are famous for it. Our server, Ariana was incredibly sweet and very attentive to us throughout the night. Great service like that would also have us come back to this location again in the future.

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.

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.

I told him I had a nut allergy and he made sure to explain the ingredients in each dish and double check with one of the managers that I'd be clear to eat it. I really appreciated that level of care and concern. They have a pretty decent menu with good options to choose from. My husband opted for the jerk chicken entree that came with a side of rice and peas with plantains which he subbed out for the tangy salad which is more like a coleslaw. I got the strip steak kabob with the tangy salad, festival, and grilled pineapples on the side. I will say I didn't love the food. My steak was cooked well done, although I asked for medium well. He told me it's cooked to one temperature--well done, but it was a bit tough once it came out. The steak was also unevenly cut. Some pieces were bigger than others, so I had to cut them down. The festival was pretty good, but the salad did not have any tang to it. I tried my husband's rice and it was pretty dry with little flavor. It couhave used some seasoning. He loved the chicken, though, and ate it down to the bones. For dessert, I had their coconut gizzard and that was the star of the show for me. It rich and decadent. Very sweet, but very good.
