Runabout Brewing... love what you've done with the place, especially the addition of oysters. They were pricey, but good. And the beer is still high quality. It has been a good while since I visited, but from what I can remember, the food hall has decent food and, there is the Porch right around the corner if you want decent comfort food. Good service and great beer is what you will find at Runabout Brewing.
First time visiting on a busy Saturday night, and everything was awesome. Our server Colby was friendly and very efficient. I like the vibe of the place, especially the huge outdoor patio. I can't wait to go back in the fall to use it. Limited tables, but there's plentiful bar seats and seating outside. I love the beers I got. My husband and I split a pizza. He loved it. I felt it was a bit bland but it was one of the best crusts on a woodfired pizza ever. It was actually crispy! I'm looking forward to trying the raw bar and the sandwiches next.
Went to Runabout Brewing a few days ago. This used to be Gatlin Hall, and it's been completely revamped and remade. Both the inside and outside are totally different now. Gatlin Hall felt more like a semi food court before, but Runabout has turned it into a full brewery with their own kitchen. One thing worth noting: if you remember Gatlin Hall as being very kid-game-friendly, this is not really that same environment anymore. Not a bad thing at all, just something to be aware of depending on what you're looking for and remember if you went before. Kids are welcome though. The beer selection is solid. I had the Mexican Lager and it was crisp and really easy to drink. I didn't get a full entrée, but I did have the hummus platter and it was really good. The bartender and waitress provided good service as well. Overall, great update to the space, good beer and good food
I'm full of more mixed up feelings than a drink writing this review as parts here were really good and parts were really bad and then parts just got interesting... So we came here one random cold night and it was literally just us as we were on the patio which is doggie friendly and then one other small group inside. We were seated outside and our service was awesome as we were always checked on and being one of the only groups here it was nice to be remembered, we didn't ask for much just the usual drinks and dinner so let's dive into it! We ordered a flight and I just say each of the beers were just average with nothing really making me want to buy a pint of them my favorite being the Cuke as it was just strange with the cucumber and basil like it wasn't good by it wasn't bad it just had a very unique taste for a brew and let's just say it's the only one that stuck out to me as I also ordered a pint of their west coast ipa and it was just what it should be but in a average way. Then came out good my lady enjoyed her mushroom pizza she said it was good but not her favorite of the night as both her and I both enjoyed sharing the whisky onion soup as it had a really good flavor and was definitely the best thing we had here even better than the beer! My fried chicken sandwich was blah flavorless and really needed some help and if that wasn't enough the fries that came with it were soo salty that I really didn't care much for them. Overall mid brews super good whisky onion soup and awesome service but to be honest after all this I wouldn't come back as when it comes to breweries I've been to some of the best ones in the country and I know exactly what's good when it comes to them!
Visited a couple of friends in Orlando and wanted to have a drink after. Saw this place on Yelp and had to give it a shot for the high ratings. Walked in and was sat in front of the TVs, just in time for the last quarter for the Bills game. Our server, Sidney took care of us immediately. Explained the menu in its entirety. We got the Belgian Witbier and Mexican lager, shared a giant pretzel with beer cheese. We left in good spirits and a full stomach. Thank you, Sidney for our wonderful first time experience. The food menu looks amazing - we're planning to come back and try the Fish n Chips and oysters. The beer menu was super unique. A fresh take on craft beer - and I love my beer.
We have been here before for drinks but decided we would have our annual Easter brunch here. The hostess was very friendly from the minute we walked in and although we were 30 minutes early for our reservation, she seated us very quickly. It's a super chill place that is not too noisy yet not too quiet, you can tell people are having a great time. The food was delicious , especially the baked oysters which flew off the table so there is no picture . Our one suggestion or wish was that they had some brunch drink specials like unlimited mimosa or a mimosa flight or bucket.
I had a terrible first impression when I first walked in. I asked for a table, and the waitress said one just cleared and started cleaning it for me. A few minutes later, a lady I assume was some sort of manager walked by and gave me this look, then asked what I was doing (not really a way to greet someone is it?). I said I had already been helped and the waitress was cleaning the table for me. She immediately got all frantic and said very rudely "oh no you can't have that table. We are on a wait." Then proceeded to find that waitress and chastise her in front of me. I felt extremely uncomfortable and honestly would have left had it not been that I was meeting someone else there. I told her I'd just sit at the bar. Thankfully my night turned around because the bartenders that helped us were very nice and very welcoming. They had a great selection of beer, actual good quality wines (a rarity at a lot of breweries), and even some cocktails, plus lots of food options. I didn't order food, but my friend got the pretzel. It was definitely the most unique bar pretzel I've ever had. It had a crispy, almost fried exterior with this awesome spice, yet was still fluffy in the middle. Really yummy bite (although I personally liked it plain and wasn't a fan of the beer cheese.)
Driving by and saw this place, Wow was not expecting a Brick oven Pizza that was Just WOW like it's a must to Order . Friends of mine was the pizza name. Pizza flavors were perfect. Oysters were also Fantastic Baked and raw were fabulous. Service was Fantastic by Owner and Daughter. Beers were also Great. Highly recommend this Brewery and will be coming back. Great Ambiance and decor.
My husband has come a couple of times and always spoke highly of his experience. It was my first time joining him for lunch on a Thursday. We were seated right away and given menus. I got the green sleeve cocktail which was right up my alley; vodka, cucumber, mint- YUM! We got a couple of options to share, Hanger steak and ale, 6 buffalo wings with ranch, 6 raw oysters (the James oysters). The steak, gravy and fries were such a delicious combination. The wings were very crispy, flavorful, and a great size. The oysters were really good, not grainy and the right size. We added Tabasco sauce to our oysters for a little kick. The ambiance is very inviting, I love how they changed the bar area and it has a lot of seating. The outside area is huge and very pretty, can't wait for cooler weather to sit outside!
This is the kind of spot you want to kick back and stay a while. It's a craft brewery with a generous food menu and a great indoor-outdoor setup that feels super inviting. I started with a cucumber beer (yes, cucumber!)--light, crisp, and genuinely refreshing. They've got a wide range of varietals with some creative flavor profiles for anyone who likes to explore beyond the usual brews. Now, the food... a bit of a mixed bag. The burger was the clear standout: juicy, flavorful, and a solid deal at $12. Onion rings left us guessing on whether they were house-made or not, and the French onion soup was surprisingly light despite being loaded with onions. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not the rich flavor I was expecting. No official kids' menu, but the appetizer list includes chicken tenders, and honestly, there are enough kid-friendly options to make it work. That said, the cornbread was a one-and-done for me, dry and forgettable. Service was on point. Our waitress was lovely, and the whole team chipped in and made sure we were taken care of. I'd definitely swing by again for the atmosphere and beer. I'd just be a little more selective with the food picks next time.
I don't want to tell you about this place because I don't want it to become more crowded! Run run run here! Bartender was fantastic. Oysters fresh and French fries the best! Pretty noisy and lively!
Runabout review Boy, did we find a great place for beer and food, seafood to be exact. Or more to the point, my wife found this place and it is a GEM! Unassuming from the outside, Runabout is far different on the interior. The tables and decor are welcoming and comfortable, way beyond what you'd expect for a strip mall locale. But we haven't even touched on the first reason to go here: Beer. Their beers are wonderfully crafted, unique and delicious! Roundabout has only been in operation for a year or so, yet their beers have the quality and character which ususally take a microbrewery years to develop. Rich flavor profiles, depth of taste, and appropriate viscosity for each different style. And also to love? This is not your typical, boring lager/ale/stout lineup that makes you go "meh" along the way to the better brews. They start strong with varied flavors and continue in the same vein all the way through their whole beer list. The second reason is their food. Just - wow. We had 4 dozen (yes, 4) of their $1.50 oysters on Happy Hour special and they were FAN-freaking-TASTIC! Large, clean, beautifully prepared by Alexi, the young gentleman shucker, these edible specimens of culinary seafood delight are not to be missed. Probably the best we've had, served in an ice filled, long metal tray w/cocktail sauce, horseradish, lemons, Tabasco, and crackers. We never eat that many oysters, but we couldn't resist these bad boys. Simply delish! The third and final reason is their staff - so courteous, personable, and helpful. Alyssa C was our server and she was a peach. Checked in at just the right intervals, brought us what we needed promptly, and was lovely and engaging to chat with throughout. I already mentioned Alexi the shuck-master, but the chefs were totally cool as well. Oh, and I forgot to mention the godlike cornbread they make, speaking of chefs... Get. The. Cornbread. Full stop. It is a rare restaurant which can make a cornbread that is light, moist, tasty, but the chef at Roundabout has it on lock. If I hadn't stuffed myself with two dozen oysters already, I'd've demolished the cornbread. Instead, I had enough to get hooked and took the rest home for a delightful snack. So yummy. Folks, check out Roundabout if you like A) exceptional beer; B) high-quality seafood and "regular" food; C) capable and nice waitstaff (yes, good staff can be tough to find nowadays). There is everything to like here - your good time awaits.
Finally got to see what my neighbors in Edgewood were talking about. This is an excellent addition to your community. My friends came in from Cape Canaveral, and I suggested we try this place located in the Fort Gatlin shopping center. We were greeted right away and sat promptly. Delaney was out server, and she was a ray of sunshine from start to finish. She took our orders promptly, came back often to see if everything was to our liking and set a great tone for our lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu for a "brewery" as well as good cocktail and beer selections. We ordered the following: One friend requested the Bull & Hen Burger with a stout beer. The FGT (Fried Green Tomato) on the burger caught his eye and he was very complimentary of the burger and the stout. My other friend ordered the Benny Blanco pizza, which was a combination of mozzarella, ricotta, parmesan, roasted garlic and basil pesto. It also had a nice balsamic drizzle that added to the flavor. I tried a slice and loved it! I did the Whiskey Onion Soup and the Arugula and Spinach Salad, along with a lager suggested by Delaney. The soup was excellent, with a combination of melted Swiss and Gouda on thick garlic crostini toast. The salad was a hearty mixture of green apple, feta and pecans, served with a lemon citrus vinaigrette. It was very good but had a little bit too much dressing for my taste that tended to overpower the salad towards the end. If you prefer to limit your dressing, be sure to ask for that upfront. I'll know next time, but I still enjoyed the salad overall. The place is very spacious and inviting. It also has an outside covered dining area I would like to try next time. Overall, great experience at this neighborhood establishment.

Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name) was absolutely phenomenal. She was kind, quick, attentive, not smothering. We sat on the patio and got devoured by mosquitos, so wear bug spray. Everyone liked the pizzas, everyone hated the burgers. Like couldn't even eat more than 3 bites, so dry. One was a kids burger and two were the $18 and really could only eat the onion ring. Drinks and appetizers were the highlights read more

Very awesome aesthetics! Definitely not toddler friendly! We sat at the couch area and one of our tots darted and the other went after. We completely understand safety issues, but a gentleman behind the bar area wasn't very nice about it. Anyhow, one of the owners tried to converse with the kids and asked us how everything was. He was kind. We got pizza and wings and hubs got a beer. They took over the Gatlin brewing space and there's no areas in the back for doggies or kids to play like before. It's very nice but probably best to leave the kids home unless they're older. We definitely got some looks and it just made me feel uncomfortable. I really do like the renovation though. The pizza was fresh, not the best I've had but good. The wings are apparently marinated for 12 hours, but I didn't find it extraordinary. We got lemon pepper and garlic. Tara was sweet and attentive. We had to ask for napkins and silverware. Definitely cannot runabout in here though, I saw signs when I was leaving. read more

Saw a picture of their Hanger Steak online and that was enough to get me through the door! My love and I had Sunday full of errands and knew we needed to fuel up before dealing with the last minute back to school crowds we might encounter. We decided to try something new and found ourselves back near our old neighborhood at Runabout. We were afraid they would be super busy as the parking lot was packed but we were pleasantly surprised when it wasn't too crowded, the vibe was chill, and we were seated right away. Our server, Norah, greeted us and grabbed us some sodas. As any good yelper does, I had studied the menu online and was all ready to order...except it was Sunday, at 1215 and they were serving Brunch and the menu was not the one I'd memorized lol. Feathers ruffled, we looked over a few starters/ appetizers and ordered the deviled eggs and bacon trio while we decided on entrees. They first bites arrived and wow! We devoured the Blue crab deviled eggs. (Note to chefs/restaurant owners-please stop offering deviled eggs in odd counts. Thankfully my fiancé was agreeable to splitting the last one but things could have gotten dicey lol) the bacon trio was good (the pimento cheese was the star!) but nothing mind blowing, still solid though. For entrees we ordered the hanger steak & eggs and the chicken & waffles. I also ordered the Tajin Age Dream as I'd seen it on the online menu and knew it was up my alley. It was the perfect drink. Balanced, tasty, not too sweet. Our entrees arrived and looked fantastic. We dug in. I really enjoyed the chicken and waffles. I'm not a big syrup person and for me it was just the right amount. Would have liked the chicken a little crispier but that's just a personal preference. I'd eat this again (actually I will for lunch today because I couldn't finish it!) My fiancé's steak was mostly medium well (he ordered medium) but it was still very tasty the ale sauce is delicious. His eggs looked to be cooked perfectly but he did report the home fries were "just ok". All in all this was a hit for us. We will be back to enjoy those menu items we were eyeing up originally for sure! read more

Food was GREAT! Service was warm and friendly. Atmosphere was comfortable, with big indoor space and cool outdoor space. They had TVs if you want to watch a game, or space to get away from it. The beer variety was legit. From sours to IPAs, to old school German styles - all executed perfectly. My favorite was a BIG Stout, "At Your Mercy". We had the spinach and arugula salad, crab and corn soup, the etouffee, and the root beer float. All good. The etouffee was AMAZING! read more

If this is just the soft opening...watch out! You never know when you'll get hit with a pleasant surprise. If you've been here before, you'll definitely feel the good vibes from the past, it's like the place has a legacy of awesome. The space is lighter, more of a restaurant atmosphere and their bartenders are super friendly and attentive. The beer? Solid. Good flavor, smooth mouthfeel, and super easy to sip on. We went with lagers, so naturally, we got exactly what we wanted. And the food? Oh, it's everywhere! Raw bar, pizza, smash burgers, charcuterie, plus seasonal goodies that'll make you want to try everything on the menu. Can't wait to head back and see what sticks! Cheers! read more

What an awesome new Orlando brewery, I'm so excited this is close to me! This is exactly what this shopping plaza needed! They have a little bit of everything. You name it! They have beer, wine, cocktails, pizza, and even amazing fresh oysters that they shuck right in front of you. My cousin and I both agreed 10/10. It made for a perfect girls night. Great vibes, service, food and drinks. I'll definitely be back here! read more

I liked it. Today was catfish special with collard greens and a biscuit. Catfish was good, collards could use more pepper vinegar heat. Biscuit was dry but OK. Beer was aplenty! Music was played fun was had by all! read more
Wow, this place is such a great surprise. Both the in house brewed beer and food was soon good. The fish and chips were some of the best that I have ever had and wife said the chicken sandwich was very good. Our server was very good and gave us some good tips and even managed to get us beer flights even though they aren't on the menu yet. The new dining room and bar is very well done. We will be back soon and often. read more
This place was OK. I think if you are drinking and stick to the appetizers you won't be disappointed. We got the giant pretzel and it was good. Service was fine. Our waiter was efficient and friendly. The brewery has a large selection of beer and even has a raw bar. My only issue was that the food was rather bland , not a lot of flavor but they are fairly new so maybe they are working on it. I like the remodel from the old brewery though. May give it another try in a few weeks. read more
Man, this place was great. I love the aesthetic, with a really cool bar and plenty of space. Kate, our bartender, was awesome. She was super helpful about the beers and everything on the menu. The beers and food were very good. We got the Laurel IPA and their German Dunkel, loved both. We got the charcuterie board and Blanco pizza, loved both. I loved Runabout and will be back to go in on the oysters and seafood. Great spot! read more

Oysters were excellent! Service was terrible. They forgot our appetizer. Waitress was too busy with a "large" table. That we were informed of immediately. It was just my husband and myself we dont care about your other tables.... it seemed like that was her priority. By the time she came back to the table we were finished with our beers and oysters. We let her know our onion rings never came out and we decided not to order dinner. Lousy service all around. read more

Great changes since the old spot! I came here with a couple friends to try the food and the drinks. First of all, they have a full liquor bar! That is good because I'm not a fake fan of beer. The food was spectacular! I had lemon pepper wings with blue cheese along with a Caesar salad. My friends tried the crispy pretzel which they said they had before but it was my first time. The restaurant looked a lot different than the old spot. Even though it had track lighting, which I like they had a lot of other different things that made the old bar look different. The service was exceptional! Every time we ordered a drink even though there was over 100 people in a bar it took no longer than 90 to 120 seconds to get a drink. I know this may be on the high side, but the servers were all attentive. The bar backs were also very conscious of what was going on. There is no doubt this is going to be a weekly new spot for me and my friends. I'm glad I found this location ! read more

We dined at the bar around 7pm on Friday evening. *quick note- I work in the area but I never went to Gatlin hall while it was there, so runabout is completely new to me* I was very pleased with the atmosphere of the brewery and the decently sized dinner crowd was refreshing in a new local spot. The garage door to the patio is a great touch. I loved that the raw bar is open to sit at & not only were they doing that but they also had a chef in the center of the raw bar creating fresh to order charcuterie boards that are available on the menu. We didn't do boards this time but let's get into what we did have. We started with 6 medium oysters- $15 which I think is reasonable in a neighborhood brewery. & they were huge!!! They come with lemon, 1 mini tobasco & saltine crackers(upon request) BUT they have sauces you can add for $1!! Sign me up- the cucumber miggy is so refreshing. 10/10 recommend. They have cooked oysters as well. Fried green tomatoes- 3 breaded green tomatoes, but I never would have paired them with a red sauce, balsamic glaze & a dollop of pimento cheese on top. 10/10 no complaints on that dish. I will order that again. Lemon & thyme half roasted chicken with mini potatoes & local garden veg, which seemed to only be spinach but this could change & im willing to go back & find out. The dish was presented beautifully. It needed a tad bit of salt but honestly the gravy, the potatoes & the chicken were so perfectly cooked that you didn't bother stopping the bartender. It tasted like a home cooked meal & for $17, again, I will be back. Acqua pazza- a guest next to us ordered this & she agreed that it needed more veg but overall the dish was very good. Haddock filet over a bed of sautéed onions, garlic & spinach with a stewed cherry tomato sauce on top. Also needed a little salt but I believe the dish was designed to have a slightly sweeter approach due to the tomatoes & caramelized onions. -Ok and now the reason I really came to this place & almost any place I go to.... Dessert. HOT 5 layer chocolate cake, it was an immediate yes for me. I LOVED the berry compote they made to top the Ice cream & I am almost positive it was a house made whip cream. Extra compote for me next time please. The extra frosting and mini chocolate chips on the bottom of the bowl made me think "this chef might be a woman" idk who it is but either way, loved it! And then I needed a togo dessert- They make seasonal mason jar desserts- if they're eaten in, they dress it up. I took mine to go so they put the lid on & sent me on my way. They had banana pudding, Oreo, s'mores & key lime pie. Overall, seeing as this place just opened & it was 7pm on a Friday night, I can confidently say that I received better food & service for a great price than I have in a while around Orlando. Every restaurant opening has its hiccups but I think this is a really good option for the neighborhood & can/will get better. Thanks to our bartender Chris, another really nice bartender & barback. Small side notes: could change in future but as of 1/31, they did not have malt vinegar for the fish and chips. I know this is a game changer for people. Only N.A. options are mocktails mainly sweet or juice based. No N.A. beer, N.A. wine, or spirit-less. I believe they are Pepsi brand. They are walking before running so they're not pushing a happy hour yet. Currently open at 5pm. Eventually planning to do lunch & brunch I believe. read more
