    This place has a cool style and fire food. We walked in i like the homey feel of the diner, immediately the cooks let us know we can sit wherever we wanted. Our waiter was also very attentive always checked up on us and was on top of Whatver we needed like condiments or our drinks. Food took about 15 minutes and you can see the cooks doing their thing, I really like the open concept this place has as well. The prices for the food is actually amazingly cheep and the quality is great too. The cooks also asked if everything was ok, we're super attentive and honestly everything was a 10/10.

    If you like the retro feel, this is the place for you. There are plenty of seats. The waitress was attentive, but not overly friendly. I had the fish sandwich. It was just average. I did not taste any seasoning. They do charge extra for using a credit card.

    We had a lovely time and were able to enjoy the food, service, and overall positive staff. Great place to dine

    This is our second visit and wanted to share some tips. Place has a welcoming feel. Servers are super nice, open kitchen style so you can see the cook. Everything we ate was super yummy. I am a big fan of crinkle cut fries (ask for them well done) and love the chopped steak with mushroom gravy , mashed potatoes and fried okra. Hubby got patty melt and fries (that I ate most of lol). Don't like the taste of the water so if you are sensitive to that as well you will taste it in tea. Not sure if they offer any bottled drinks but may want to bring your own. Everything else is super good. It is right off the turnpike so easy access when driving for a trip to Orlando.

    It's more 3.5 stars food was ok average diner food mostly prepared by Sysco. The cowboy rodeo them is pretty cool old school breakfast with grandpa vibes. The service was very very slow and it's not very big. If you're close it's not a bad option and I gave the extra half star because the bathrooms were super clean and nice. Also be careful where you sit I got dripped on by the a/c it was a little unpleasant after a few times.

    That's suppose to be a regular pancake.

    My husband got there to do a take out order it took 10 minutes till finally someone took the order. He waited there more than 25 minutes people came sat down and got there food. He kept asking the waitress all she said was the kitchen was busy he finally got food and it was not good at all. The hash browns where not cooked correctly and the put it in a styrofoam container that melted from the heat so I couldn't eat it. The pancakes well I will just show picture again could not eat I am so disappointed would not recommend going.

    Always a great time at Rodeo Diner. My grandmother's favorite place. Ambiance is always welcoming and to theme of the RODEO! Service is like family, servers are always so kind and remember us always. Even the cook is our friend and speaks with us during our visits! The food is always delicious, great price, and closest to a home cooked meal. Thank you Rodeo Diner for being our family.

    Nice diner, self seating. They had some good protein options. Wendy was super great and welcoming.

    Great place and cheap with good food! Would definitely come again! I hate the breakfast burrito with bacon. And the breakfast sandwich looked amazing. Service was good and fast. Pretty busy little place. Atmosphere is more like dinner but old school, it's cute.

The inside of the restaurant has table and bench seating, as well as a large square shaped bar with plenty of seats. The booths are hardwood not padded, and the tables are solid metal. Their signature item is fried chicken. We ordered the Fried Chicken and Doughnuts. It comes with 2 pieces of chicken, 2 doughnuts and a side of mashed potatoes for $32. We thought it was a perfect meal to share between two because each person gets a piece of fried chicken and a doughnut. The chicken is extra greasy and topped with powdered sugar. It was very good but it still does not rate as highly as Publix or KFC for me. The doughnut was great. I would compare it to a fresh glazed from Krispy Kreme. Service was excellent. We were seated immediately, and greeted at our table by a friendly and efficient server. Overall, everything went well. The prices are high but this is expected due to the location. I would definitely return to try more of the menu.

Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me).

I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness.

Had an early start to the day on 11/11 and decided to swing by and I must say, that was a good decision. LOL! The service is courteous, friendly and quick. Very neat and clean little place. The interiors are fashioned after old European cafes. Very charming! We had the Bacon and egg bagel sandwich, the Spanish avocado toast, a cafe con leche and a mocha latte. The husband said his bagel sandwich was good, not great and could be better if the egg was seasoned. He loved his coffee. My mocha latte was good, could be better if the ratio of the chocolate was increased just a smidgen. But I was absolutely blown away by the Spanish avocado toast! What a delicious combination of quality Spanish chorizo, guacamole, boiled egg slices and onions! It was hands down the best thing I've had for breakfast in years! Offered the husband a bite and he concurred. If not for anything else, we'd definitely return for just this one dish. LOL! Highly recommend trying the Spanish avocado toast at Buchito.

There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence.

The coffee was fine, the croissant was good. Minimal service once you sit down and get your order. The place i wanted to go was closed.. so we settled, and Im kind of bummed it wasn't better. Hope you have a better experience than me.
