Outside, with picnic tables in front, but 2 are roped off, not to be used.
Deborah B.

The cheeseburger was $12something. It came with fries. I asked for ketchup for my fries. He said you'll get everything. The ketchup was in 1 small pouch for the burger, and 1 dip pouch for the fries, which I had to use some for the burger. The burger was average, thin smash burger type. Can only get it well done because thin. Cheese was average American cheese. Fries were odd shaped but tasty, very little, not very much. I ordered & received a cup of water. Order at the counter & they'll bring it out to you when ready. No napkins. I tipped a dollar when I paid. I don't know if I would've received a napkin had I tipped more. It's quiet outside, a good location. They get busy during sports events. I didn't see any TVs outside.

Yikes. This was just a bad experience from start to finish. Parking is not that easy, but go down any of the side streets and look for sports that are marked. We walked into the restaurant and staff were immediately rude to us. We also were given exactly 15 seconds to look at the menu before the server asked us what we wanted. We ordered some burgers and tenders, but unfortunately the tenders are terrible. These are pre-frozen chicken tenders that taste like what you would get at a school cafeteria. They are also heavily salted at the restaurant. I will give props to their crispy potato wedge fries. These were actually pretty good. I had asked for a side of a specific sauce, and when I got my meal, it was not there. I then went inside to ask, and they told me that they don't even have that sauce. This would've been good to know when they said they would get me at after I placed the order. Seating is also bad. They have limited outdoor seating, however, they have very interesting people that can walk up and down the area and disrupt your meal. In the end, this is not a place that I can recommend at all due to the extremely poor service and rude staff, terrible food, and overall a very off vibe.

Lightning wings
Justin L.

You could call this place a hidden gem but if you were in the Thorton Park or downtown Orlando area, you probably know about this place. Wings are expensive but I'm glad the lightning flavored wings hit on flavor. I also tried the Pot Roast Heater. Don't worry about it being spicy because it was not but it was great with flavor and the amount of meat. I sat inside Burtons bar and they were able to bring the food right over to me. The inside of the restaurant is small but you were able to eat outside. The prices are fair so I have no problem. Check this place out again.

Love that place is connected to Burton's and that they bring you food to your table at the bar/ outside the bar. Went last night to watch the Super Bowl and got a table outside on their faux patio extension between the sidewalk and the road. Saw the neon sign "Ice Cream Solves Everything" but first wanted to start with food. Eyeing the menu, I originally wanted to get a Beer Bratwurst, cause I love a good brat. But on the menu, their Bratty Melt (basically a patty melt with a sausage bratwurst patty) caught my attention. When asking the cook at the counter who took my order, he said that it was his favorite thing on the menu. And boy, did it not disappoint. The perfection of the crispy rye bread, the sauerkraut/ mustard ratio, the perfectly cooked sausage meat. When I tell you, I'm still thinking about that sandwich. Their french fries were fun, ear shaped that you don't see too often, very comparable to a less dense potato wedge. I'm actively trying to figure out when I'll return next, as I did not sadly get an ice cream sandwich to solve everything... yet.

Good food that comes out quick, now that's a win-win. It's even better when there's something for everyone. Plenty of choices for my veggie friends makes life easier. No need for endless menu scrolling or substitutions here. Just good vibes, tasty bites, and happy tummies all around.

Walked over here from the bar Burton's didn't even know they had food I came over. Here was slightly intoxicated. Had 3 to 4 beers they were IPAs, but this food was hands-down the best drunk food I've ever had, the only thing that I think you compete is gringos downtown for Orlando place but that place is now considered poop to me. If I'm coming out to eat late night and anywhere in Orlando, I'm gonna make a pitstop at the classic.

Single Cheeseburger with cheddar cheese (lettuce, tomato and onion)
Shalay R.

I had heard so much about this place and was really looking forward to trying it. I was really craving wings and heard that the wings were really good so decided to give it a try. Also ordered a burger and fries so I can get a feel of the food. The burger was good. The fries were tasty. I also saw that the restaurant offered a fish and shrimp meal that I really wanted to try but unfortunately it was only offered on certain days of the week. I inquired if it would be possible to try it today and luckily the restaurant had the ingredients in stock and was able to accommodate my request. So happy that the staff was able to assist so I could try the seafood. The seafood platter was the meal I enjoyed the most and was delicious. After hearing so much about the chicken wings I figured the chicken wings would be my favorite. The wings were breaded and fried and were lightly sauced. I prefer non breaded and really saucy wings. I'm not sure if the restaurant offers non breaded wings but think that I would have enjoyed them more if they were non breaded and had more sauce on them. The restaurant is definitely off the beaten path and more so well known by locals. It's a smaller restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dining options. The restaurant is also split into two parts one section for dine in and the other section for pickup for those placing takeout orders.

The Classic- Thornton Park 805 E Washington Street, Orlando, Florida, 32801 FOOD TO WARM YOUR BELLIES! A PLACE TO WARM YOUR HEARTS! With a passion for service, smiles & satisfaction, The Classic in Thorton Park Orlando are never tired of saying no! The staff fulfill their concept of a true service first "Front of House" approach and bring it into the Kitchen and from that you have " The Classic". I had the pleasure of visiting this place as I was going to another event in Orlando. The staff were great in attending me. I tried out some of thier best sellers and boy was I satisfied with thier food. First off, the milkshakes are a must. I tried thier Root Beer one and it was amazing. The Pretzels Bites and the Chesse Curds are great side snacks with your entrée. Thier Chicken Wings are saucy. Thier Burgers are phenomenal. Mouthwatering and delicious .

Wings
Alyssa W.

Great wings! I never order wings when I go out to eat but my friend recommended this spot and said their wings are great and she was right! Their homemade ranch is different from your average ranch, I think it has more dill in it and it's really thick but I enjoyed it. The pretzel bites and cheese was interesting, I wasn't expecting the cheese to be cold but it wasn't bad. I also love that you can order here, take a number and go to the bar next door and they will bring the food to you at the bar. I'll be back :)

Disappointing chicken fingers
Kenz M.

Came to grab a bite to eat and brought it to burtons next door . The cheeseburger was good and we have been before and the wings were good. The chicken tenders were really sad. People were really nice and we would come back, but never getting the chicken tenders again.

Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We popped over here for lunch on a Saturday around two in the afternoon. We were very surprised…read morewith how busy it was as it's typically not that busy on Saturday afternoons. 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

Came here after an Orlando Magic game. Late night comfort food joints are a staple of Downtown…read moreOrlando, and they are desperately needed. Looking around after the game, a smash burger sounded like just the thing we needed. Ambiance was nice. Good, chill vibes, a random door to a random next-door bar. Plenty of viable seating for my party of six. Service was pretty ok. The front counter worker was nice enough, but the food took forever to come out. Much longer than I would expect for the products we ordered. The food itself was dynamite. I got the Papi Big Mak (Two Florida-raised beef patties, smashed onions, lettuce, American cheese, sweet-heat pickles, tostone "Middle Bun" , Papi Mak sauce, Sesame Martin Potato Roll). This was a fun thing. The patties had a good crisp to them. The totstone did not, though, so it got a little lost in the bite and chew. Needed more sauce. And that sesame seed bun really helped out a lot, too. A little extra texture in every bite. I was a fan. I also got the chance to try the Umami Papi (Two Florida-raised beef patties, crispy bacon, white cheese, sweet-heat pickles, crispy onion, raspberry jam, Uuuumami truffle sauce, sesame buns). This one was a better topping combination. The pickles had a nice pop of acid, the raspberry jam really stood out, adding a nice sweetness, and the truffle sauce, never thought I needed it on a burger. I did. Standout burger. I also got the Papis Loco Fries. I forget exactly what these fries were topped with, but the cheese, just look at it. Congealed just perfectly. A good side item, for sure. Overall, this greasy meal is out there doing the good work for the people. Maybe this was a four star meal overall, but I'm not sitting, that Umami Papi was a standout for me, and the reason I now give five stars.

Pros: Ambiance was typical downtown hustle and bustle…read more Attached to other businesses with mystery doors. Good vibes. Food was good. Nice, crispy edges on the patties, and I loved how many sesame seeds were on the buns. Great flavor. Cons: The only thing was that they waited for our whole party's order to be ready before calling names, instead of just serving them as they came. This lead to cold burgers. Tips: Make sure you arrive early! If you wait too long, they switch to a smaller, less interesting menu.

Taste: 4/5 Value:…read more4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Pretty solid burger spot that, as the name suggests, lets you fully customize your burger. They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

I remember seeing this establishment and it's owner featured on CNBC's YouTube channel. Since then,…read moreit's been on my list of places to try out to support local businesses. To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.
