We had such a wonderful experience. Kids got their construction hats and were so immersed in the experience. The decorations 10/10. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! We got the Mac and Cheese with chicken tenders, 8-D burger, and chicken cheese steak, all were 10/10 meals. Suzan was our waitress and an absolute pleasure! So attentive, kind to all, and made our experience that much more enjoyable. Would recommend this to anyone (Especially with kids) but the food was so good anyone can enjoy! read more

Finally stopped by here with my family to try this place after seeing it all over social media. When you walk inside, you are completely immersed in the construction zone aesthetic. You feel like you walked into a construction zone. If you have kids and are visiting from out of town to hit the theme parks, this is definitely a good spot to grab a bite to eat. We had a brand-new waiter who was nervous because it was his first day after training, but he did a fantastic job. We ordered the potato skins, which were quite tasty. My sister and mom ordered the French Onion soup to split, which they said was really good. It comes in a thermos, and according to them, it was the best thing they ate here. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, which was okay. I wish it had come with some lettuce or something to add some freshness. I also got some fries, which were fine. My brother-in-law got the 12-oz New York strip with mashed potatoes, which he said was pretty good. My sister got a hamburger that she said was tasty. My mom ordered the steak and ale pie, which she said was okay, but she wasn't a fan of the flavors used in the stew. They apparently were pretty strong, and she believes it may have been the Guinness. I believe we'd come back, but most of us agreed we'd try something different on the menu next time. read more

Cool atmosphere for the kids! It was good for groups and easy to make reservations for a group of 9. We were expecting heavy machinery and equipment, but it was more a construction decorations atmosphere. Like an Applebees for construction. I got the burger and it was very good. The fries were good too. I tried the seasonal veggies and they were cooked to perfection. Our waitress was attentive, but when it came to pay the bill she left us with the little machine. Our order was wrong the first time and the second time it didn't work, so we had to work hard to find her and flag her down. She was a ghost. It would have been nice if she stuck around to finalize our process. read more

This restaurant is such a cute concept! Definitely 5 stars for service and making guests feel welcome. I think with central Florida comes some of the BEST hospitality in the country... truly. My favorite aesthetic was the portapotty that led to the bathrooms. Overall, the food was not like wow, but decent and the prices were also on par with quality. I actually appreciated the prices. I had the Carb-less burger. Meat tasted of quality, thought the condiments should probably go on top but were placed at the bottom near the plate. Also, they have cool concepts and decor, but I think to designate an actual hands on area would be well worth the space of two tables, like foam building blocks. Realistically, only two tables were the "cool tables" as in the bucket of the excavator and another more themed table. Solid experience but could be so much better. read more

Super fun spot!! We absolutely loved it! I got a steak and it was DELICIOUS!! Highly recommend that and to try their ranch!! The sauces are all made in house and the ranch was SO good! Our kids had fun dressing up and walking around the "site." We would definitely come back next time we are on vacation in the area. read more

The Construction Zone Restaurant - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Food was great, loved the availability of vegetarian options. The whole restaurant is construction themed - they even give faux hard data to kids. The service was pretty slow though and we eventually had to go find someone to ask for the check and to go boxes, which was surprising for a Wednesday night. read more

This was a rough experience at best. The hostess was not available when we walked in then asked if we had reservations, when we said no she said she'd have to go "check availability" there were four seated tables in the entire restaurant and an empty parking lot outside.... The manager spilled fruit on my two year old (thank god it wasn't the less then ideal Mac n cheese she wanted then wouldn't eat because of how gross it was) my wife's salad with house ranch tasted like mayo dressing? My cheesesteak and mushroom fries baffled the kitchen and required a poor quick solution of watery gravy quartered mushrooms and cheese cubes.... The whole staff was sick and the service and food was the worst I've had in the past 2 years.... Please save the money and stop at target for a bag of chips. read more

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. On the one hand, it's a brilliant concept and it has been very professionally done. On the other hand, about half of the food was not very good. The themed interior decor is fantastic and will delight families, especially with kids who are fascinated by construction projects or equipment. The menu is one of the best conceived I've seen. It's themed, attractive, and offers pretty much any kind of dish family or sports bar enthusiast could be looking for. We started with the baked potato skins. The problem here is that they aren't really baked potato skins. They're essentially half potatoes with some sort of a cream cheese filling underneath the top more conventional presumably cheddar cheese and I guess bacon bits in there somewhere. They just weren't potato skins. For my main course, I had the very reasonably priced classic Cobb salad. It had all the correct ingredients for a Cobb salad, but there was nothing classic about it. As it was just a pile of lettuce with stuff on it. A classic Cobb salad would be served in the traditional rows of ingredients where you can dip and choose amongst them as you wish. But it was fine. My wife had the chicken tenders, which were served with fries. The tenders were quite good, actually the best thing that we had. They had a delicate and very crisp fine-grained breading on the outside. The fries on the other hand were some of the worst fries I've ever been served. They were a huge mound served underneath the chicken. They were only about half cooked and it didn't seem like the oil had been hot enough. They were heavy, limp, and large, although voluminous. I don't want to discourage you from trying this restaurant because I think they've put a lot into it, and it has true potential. If the food lives up to the descriptions on the menu and the pictures on the menu, it could be really good. Perhaps we went when the second-string team was on at lunchtime, and we should try it again in the evening. Great concept though. read more

Such a fun family dinner night was had at this restaurant! This restaurant is super cute and creatively decorated. From the waiting area to our table, it was such a fun experience. Service was great! Both our host and waitress were wonderful and super accommodating. My boys, including my husband, had the best time constructing their burgers. Everything tasted great. We truly enjoyed the restaurant and food tonight. Totally recommend this place, even if you do not have young kids. read more

I loved this place. The kids like so much, at the entrance they got an worker hat and an paper to do the clock in. The Ambience it's really nice, all themed construction, even the bathroom. They do have tap beer, the service was good. They had vest for the kids to play and they could keep the hat when we left. We just got burguers, was good by the way. The kids menu was something like 10 bucks, she got sliders, side, beverage and scoop of ice cream. Fun place! read more

FAMILY ROAD WORK FOOD ADVENTURE!!! This place was so fun and the food was close to amazing!!! Found this place, Where you ask? Where else on YELP!!! My wife use to have a job in the road work/construction industry, so I thought this would be fun for her and the kids!!! Let's face it, to be honest. This place is fun for any age if you like construction/road work type things. When you walk in you're greeted with a box opened on 2 sides. What you might not notice when you walk in is that you are in an elevator on a skyscraper. So cool!!! We didn't really notice until we were leaving, but whether at the start or end of your Journey . Take my word for it stand there and watch the video screen it is worth it to check it out. After you get past the elevator your at the hostess desk where they have construction hats, but they are only for 10 and under. What a waste. If I was them I would have a sign that's says: 10 & under/65 & over free!!! Everyone in between 1$. Child size only available. This would be a great up charge option and I know my whole family would have gotten one. Just to feel more inclusive to the environment. They are a kids size so that might be a bit of a challenge for some Adults, but hey if they are willing to pay the $, it's all good!!! All they have to do is add it to the bill!!! What a loss of revenue. I hope they see this and try the idea out!!! I was in the industry for 15 years so I do have some knowledge on how to be profitable and increase revenue. You are then given your punch card for clocking in for your shift!!! Our kids were so confused, but what fun for us Adults, LOL!!! Now to more Ambience: The place has a very minionesque coloration and it is super eye candy with all the props and murals with the painted building walls. Very, very fun to us!!! The food: The value to food ratio on this one is good to great!!! The Construction Zone has many entrees at a good to great value in comparison to similar food establishments. They have different cut options for almost every meat they offer. We got so much food and none of it was bad!!! The only negative is some of the batter on our onion ring tower was falling off. The batter was cooked it just wasn't fully applied before being fried is all. The burgers and steak were cooked to perfection!!! The chicken was juicy and flavorful!!! The quesadillas was the best value and was honestly a very tasty meal with a side. Loaded potato was what my son chose for a 2$ up charge. The potato was good, but the loaded part was lacking and didn't add much my son stated. The service was great and they all wear hi vis vests to add to the aesthetics. Our server was spot on the entire time and had a wonderful attitude!!! We had such a great time here. We will definitely be going back soon!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!! read more

The Construction Zone needs some work, but they make an excellent Double cheeseburger & hand cut fries. We had a absolutely freaky fun time at the Construction Zone. Our waitress was British & so much fun! She was a hoot. We named her "Princess Pumpkin Spice" we just shortened it to "Princess" she loved it. We had so much fun with the British Princess at the Construction Zone. We would go back just to see her OuiOui. We ordered the Double cheeseburger & fries & I ordered the salmon burger & fries. She told me NOT to do it but I did it anyway bc i'm a rebel like that hahaha. And just as she said, the salmon burger sucked. It was so bad it was even burnt on one side LOL The Princess quickly took it back & got me a double cheeseburger with fries like Sir Hubbers got. It was also Excellent. So, listen to the fun British lady. She is a Princess & knows the royal way. She knows what the disaster is in the "Construction Zone" & it's the SALMON BURGER! LOL STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE SALMON BURGER! BE SAFE! ORDER THE CHEESEBURGERS & HAND CUT FRIES ONLY. And make sure you ask for the Garlic Aioli on the side for the royal flavor Zone. Added to moi list of "prowling for patties" moi fave burger places & fave "happy hour" lists. Will Return. read more

Such a fun family spot! We had an awesome time at The Construction Zone Restaurant! The whole theme was such a hit with our kids -- they absolutely loved the construction hats and vests, and the details made it feel like we were dining right on a building site (in the best way!). The food was great, too -- especially the onion rings, which were perfectly crispy and delicious. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the service couldn't have been better. Highly recommend, especially if you have little ones who love trucks, tools, or anything construction-related. It's a creative, family-friendly place that makes mealtime feel like an adventure! ‍ read more

I'm going to be very real with this review. This restaurant is a great concept - especially for families. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon it was after lunch and the restaurant wasn't busy. No one was working at the bar but you could still order drinks from your server. All of the "themed tables" were taken so we were just sat at a regular table. Yes my toddler boy was fascinated by the excavator facade in the restaurant and he got a construction hat (to keep) and vest to wear but the restaurant is missing a HUGE opportunity with not having a separate play area for kids with toy construction vehicles or mini vehicles to ride around on. The restaurants theme doesn't go past the inside design of the layout and the port a potty door that leads to the bathrooms. Food was better than expected. Menu is huge! And they can definitely play with the presentation of food. The wings came out on a shovel but that was about it. The kids meal should've come out in a dump truck or something! Would we go back? Probably not but it was definitely a unique experience for our toddler. Go check them out for a unique experience for your kids and to enjoy a beverage and some decent bar food. read more

Great theme and decorations. There's a lot of ideas going on here, but some just don't work on a construction site together! How cute is the soups served in a thermos? Just not sure the construction crew would be eating French Onion Soup! And even though the onion soup had a nice flavor, it could have been hotter and the cheese melted, however, because they are in a thermos and can't go in an oven! The biggest problem through would have to fall to service. Everyone was very nice and attentive, but they don't seem to be bringing in big crowds yet...so they cut the staff! One waiter, one cook in the kitchen, and a hostess/bartender was not enough for the five tables waiting for their lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Here's hoping they can work out their kinks! read more

A cool family dining experience with a construction theme. The decor inside is very detailed and gives off the construction zone vibes. Kids get hardhats and vests. Adult size vests available. Many options to choose from on the menu. Tried the burger which was really good and stacked. The fish and chips also good. The mac and cheese also tastey. read more

We visited with our kids (ages 5 and 2 months), and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. They really stayed true to the theme--my son was given a construction hat as soon as he walked in, and it absolutely made his day. The whole experience felt 100% worth it, and the food was just as good as the atmosphere. We ordered the fish and chips and the chicken sandwich--both were delicious. My son got the kids' pizza, which came with a drink, side, and ice cream at a great price. Also, don't skip the coleslaw--it was amazing and definitely worth trying! Highly recommend for families, especially with younger kids. read more

3-Star Review - The Construction Zone Restaurant The Construction Zone Restaurant was an interesting experience, but overall just average. The interior is definitely themed to match a construction site, but it felt more gimmicky than tasteful. It didn't create a very comfortable or inviting atmosphere. I ordered a regular cheeseburger with fries, and the food was just okay--nothing special but edible. It tasted like standard bar fare without anything memorable to set it apart. Overall, it's an alright place if you're hungry and nearby, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit. read more

Stopped by after a Disney trip with both my little boys, and was pleasantly surprised. Restaurant was super fun and on themed, my son enjoyed the fact that our bench seat was a backhoe. Our server Susan was great and she offered to put our kids food in before we were ready to order. Before we could even decide what we wanted his chicken fingers were ready which was awesome. All the food was ridiculously fresh and tasted homemade, even the kids menu dessert. Everything was hot and crispy, and well seasoned. I got the buffalo wings which couldve been saucier, but the chicken itself was good. Ive paid more for worse wings lol. Wife got the mac and cheese plate which was good, I had a couple bites. Good portion sizes, hot, fresh, and fast - can't complain. Restaurant was completely empty for lunch time on a Saturday and didn't deserve to be. Ambience was spot on and kid friendly, football was live, and the music choice was immaculate. Prices were pretty fair and employees were present and friendly. Worth a stop!! read more

Follow up to my last review! Still amazing, this time went with family that included our 7 year old niece. They treat kids right, she had to punch in, put on a hard hat & safety vest, then we were seated. This was a Wednesday night and they were not busy!! We sat under the arm of an excavator! Lots of imagination went into the decor. They have a great veggie burger and will serve it in lettuce leaves for us cutting carbs. The pulled pork sandwich and wedge salad were excellent, The kids sliders were GREAT! the 7 yr old enthusiastically said. After she punched out and we left she asked if we could go back tomorrow. So high marks from all of us. As a plus they make a mean Old Fashioned read more

1st time at the Construction Zone restaurant. Lovely atmosphere & great theming. Greeted right away & shown to our table under the scaffolding. Alicia was our server & very friendly. Happy they have Guinness on draft. Ordered artichoke/spinach dip and the potato skins for appetizers. Timing not great as we were barely into our apps and our meals came out. Cat D burger with fries, crispy chicken sandwich with fries and chicken pot pie with fries were our entrees. Burger was a smash burger so ended up being too cooked for my taste (I normally do medium-rare burgers). Fries were lukewarm but plentiful. Would I try this place again? Sure, but would order something else to eat. read more

The Construction Zone Restaurant - Funny signage. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Kissimmee, Florida

Joined waitlist in advance and arrived on time. No host (said there might not be one when not busy). Finally a staff person came from the kitchen area. We are a party of 7. Staff person said that a group of 25 people came in just before us and that they took the big tables. She asked if we needed to sit together! We said yes. She said that we would have to wait 30 minutes! What? They can't put 2 tables of 4 together? I guess they can afford to lose what would have likely been $300 in revenue and a potential customer that will never return read more

First off, this is one of the best themed restaurants in the area. I would compare it to the level of Rainforest cafe. I did not know you could make a bench out of so many random things. Our waitress Judy was very nice and pleasant. The food was amazing. We got the Philly cheesesteak, the Cat D-4 burger, and the chicken pop pie. All were delicious and a big surprise to us. We went at 2:00 on a Wednesday. I bet you that when the parks close on the weekend it gets packed. This is a must stop if you're in the area. read more

We were a party of 7 that joined the waitlist and showed up for dinner. We waited at the hostess desk for someone to help us and eventually they did. They told us that a party of 25 just came in and took all their large tables. What?????? There were other empty tables everywhere that they could have put together for us. Instead they told us the wait would be 30 minutes. With 25 people taking all the tables, they wouldn't be done in 30 minutes We left and won't return read more

Cool theme, average food. The decor is fun--traffic cones, toolboxes, and servers in safety vests. Kids loved the mac & cheese and plastic tool toy hard hats. I had the ribeye steak--cooked right, but bland and forgettable. Kids' burger was fine, nothing special. Sides were okay . Service was friendly and good, better than a road crew waiting for coffee break. It's Worth checking out for the experience, but don't expect gourmet. Definitely more about the vibe than the food. read more

We got here right as they opened for "brunch" that they advertise on their website. We quickly found out that brunch is just their regular menu. The waitress informed us that they did brunch for about a month and no one ever came in so they no longer serve it. The ambiance in the restaurant was pretty good. It read construction but lacked more things for the children like a coloring page or some interactive places for them to touch. The food left much to be desired. Out of 3 orders of fries none of them were edible. They were all very under cooked and incredibly greasy. When the manager on duty came over about my food (which I did not ask for) he basically told me I was wrong about what I was tasting, offered to o get me something new, and walked away. They offered us a 10% discount on a future visit but we will not be back. read more

So we absolutely love the theme and that was the reason that we came. I will say the food left us with more to be desired. I ordered the steak with the pastry on top and I felt like it tasted like a can of Campbell's soup. Also for $17 I really didn't give me a whole lot. It was very slim. Did not fill me up. I got fresh cut fries which I think would've been fantastic if they were hot. We also ordered their kids sliders, which I did not love either. I felt like they were overcooked and extremely hard even for a kids meal. We did absolutely love the French hung in soup. We thought the presentation in the soup itself was fantastic. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was English and just really top-notch. We thought the decorations were also amazing and this was our first time at the restaurant. I was disappointed that they went so heavily on the Halloween decorations as we really came for the theme and felt like it was overpowered by the Halloween decorations , but it was really amazing. She gave us a magnet to come back and reserve the excavator table. I will say I'm not quite sure that will come back because the food was less than desirable, but the theme was completely worth it if they could get their food in line. read more

A must stop!! The decor, service and foood were terrific! I had a chicken pot pie and wow!! Homemade and absolutely delicious- so much flavor, and the puff pastry was so good! Husband got a Philly chicken cheesesteak and really enjoyed it and the kids meal was great too! Our serve was fantastic, so kind to the kids! And now the decor- sooooo fun! So many little details around the restaurant for you and your little ones to check out! Kids get a hard hat and the cutest little shovel spoons with their ice creams.

Went out tonight with 7 for a good meal at a restaurant highly recommended by a pool guy. He really liked giving local non-chain restaurants his support. We ordered 3 steaks, fish, chicken Philly and a couple of appetizers. The steaks were undercooked. We sent one back and it was returned overcooked and tough. Management did the right thing and took that one off the bill. The chicken Philly was dry. The fish was good but seemed a little oily not sure what caused that. Onion Rings were presented on a rebar spike which was unique 5 likes 2 not great. The construction theme was very different and well done throughout. Seating used a pickup truck bed, scaffolding, wire spools and a backhoe. This restaurant opened Nov 2024, I believe they are still learning what works. Worth a chance. Ask questions. read more

This was such a cute concept! The littles in our dining party were simply over the moon with the decor and their construction hats. The menu has a wide variety of options, and our party of 7 sampled a bit of everything. Starting with the appetizers: unfortunately, they were out of the fried green tomatoes, but the spinach dip was tasty (especially the dirty chips) and the potato skins were great. The kids loved the chicken boulders (I stole a bite and thought these were some of the best chicken tenders - the breading was really unique and the chicken was perfectly moist). Of the adult plates: salad was fine, nothing to write home about, the Mac and Cheese skillets were a highlight (both the pork and the chicken), but the French onion soup was pretty awful (though the concept of serving in a thermos was cute). The staff was attentive and our server was very nice. I was sad to see how empty the restaurant was, as you can tell how much love they've poured into this establishment...it looks nothing like the former Sweet Tomatoes and is truly something unique. I truly hope they can get the word out so they can last. read more

They nailed the concept! Kids and fans of construction will love the way this place is laid out. The souvenir hard hats, the excavator seating, the pick up truck bed and dumpster seating. The theme is everywhere and on point. However, while they excel in concept, they fail terribly in service and food. When we arrived for our reservation time. We, and several other parties were standing around with no host in site. The place looked empty. We could see one person working the kitchen but the bar was unstaffed and not a server or host in sight. Finally after 20 minutes a gentleman came to start seating the growing crowd of people that had gathered in the small entry way. He was pleasant enough and made sure all of the kids got hard hats but provided zero apologies or explanation for the wait. Once seated we waited at least another 20 minutes before a server even greeted us and that was just to say she'd be right with us. This place was not busy, there were several servers but they seemed so incredibly disorganized. Fast forward to the arrival of the food. The food was subpar and bland. One order of fries was severely undercooked and had to be sent back. The kids tenders were so greasy and bland that our son barely touched them. This place is an awesome concept and they could really excel with proper management, service, and culinary staff but it falls well short of the mark in its current state, especially for the price. Do not recommend unless many things change. read more

We originally called to make reservations but though we attempted multiple times over a span of two days (about 5x each day), there was no answer. We had about 9 people, so we figured this would help ensure everything went smoothly. Also, though their website says it's setup to book reservations , it was functional when we attempted to book anything. When we arrived it took the staff a while to notice anyone had arrived. Took about 15 minutes for the waiter to get our drink orders as no one had told them the table was assigned to them. I'm usually cold but the restaurant was hot inside (about 78+ degrees). The restaurant was not busy (maybe 5 other tables or so). We ordered the spinach dip, which seemed reheated and the chips were stale. We also ordered chicken wings and onion rings from the appetizers which were tasty. We shared the mac and cheese with pork and burger which were flavorful as well. Overall, the experience wasn't bad but I feel there are some kinks that need to be ironed out. Service was slow, heat of the restaurant, and everything seemed a bit unorganized. We loved the concept of the restaurant and decorations throughout. I feel the restaurant has a lot of potential if they can overcome some of the issues we faced. read more
