Flatbread

I went to The Yardery with friends after attending an event in Mount Dora. We wanted to grab a quick bite in a casual setting. This was a really cool place/concept. It is a two story building with outdoor seating only. On the first floor you have a yard with ganes for all ages, a fire-pit and live music. We went to the second floor to a sat there. Our server was friendly and super chill. He kept checking on us so that was appreciated. The food and portions were good. The only item wasn't a huge fan were the wings. They were dry-rub versus a sauce. They use a lot of disposable items, like plastic cups and silverware. I wish they had reusable (and stronger) silverware. Overall, it was a fun time. I liked the vibe and how family-friendly it feels ( even pet-friendly).

Burger (bun removed so you can see the glorious cook)

Stopped in for a burger during the blueberry festival so I could get both a seat and some shade instead of grabbing something off the street. Service took a few (very reasonable!) minutes to get going being that it was a busy day and time. This looks like a great place to kick back with friends, with the outdoor spaces and games. Not sure if the DJ was a special event or a weekend staple, but the overall vibe was fun for all ages. I had the burger and added the sweet potato fries, and I'll start with the drawbacks first. The burger cost $18 (I don't think they seem to have an option other than the signature one that comes with cheese, bacon and special sauce. I added what I thought are basic af toppings, lettuce and tomato, and removed a premium one, bacon. Had a 25 cent each upcharge for the lettuce and tomato without the "hey, there's an extra charge " heads up while ordering. The sweet potato fries looked amazing, cooked to a great color, visible salt flakes, but not even the lil skinny ones had a shred of crisp to them. The burger itself...while I could be picky and long for a smidge more seasoning or salt...actually made up for the fries shortcoming. Double stacked beef, juicy, with an impressive sear on the meat. Overall pleased with the experience. I'd go back, but probably would see if the regular fries fare any better.

Chicken wings
Liz A.

Stopped in for lunch on Friday afternoon. Service was good. Food was also good. We had the chicken wings, fish tacos, fries, and a side of Mexican corn. Everything was fresh and good. The only negative I would say was the seating area. While the restaurant sits very close to the lake, the downstairs seating was very basic with no view, no ambience.

Fun spot located downtown. The Yardery gives the vibes you are heading to your friend's bbq. You will find backyard games and a full bar. Pet friendly and a rooftop bar. The pulled pork and the smash burger are the best I town. Service is fast and friendly. A must stop!

This is our new favorite casual dining place, where we can also bring our puppy! Their food is unexpectedly awesome with homemade flatbreads and their entire staff is exceptional. Every time we return, we feel like a part of their family. We highly recommend!

Hot honey chicken with fries
Emily B.

We came here over the weekend for lunch and had a great experience! There were two floors to pick from, and both covered and uncovered seating areas. Upon arriving you are able to pick your seat! The service was quick and prompt! The food did come out quick, but not all at the same time. Not a huge deal but it was a few minutes between each entree being delivered. The food was really tasty and you can tell was made fresh! Everything we ordered came out perfect! One downside was the cutlery, they only offered individually wrapped plastic forks and knives, which not a deal breaker, but even the hot honey chicken was giving that fork a good workout! If we are ever in the area again we would definitely come back! We enjoyed our time at The Yardery!

Restaurant has a second floor deck with bar for a great dining experience. We had a two person team today that did a great job serving. One question to owner... did you recently change your fries? A young lady (regular) in our party indicated that in the past they were quite a bit more favorable. My first visit....will not be my last!

This is a great family space with outdoor games and a pretty neat view. It has a sports bar restaurant atmosphere and the food items to match. We went with the family and tried their salads and burgers accompanied by onion rings and the usual suspects. The vegetarian tacos are also good. The service is casual and limited. They have parking space along the street and it's busy during art festivals so be patient.

Nachos with short rib
Zac E.

The Yardery is a great addition to the Mt Dora food and drink scene. My wife and I went after the Mt Dora plant festival and had a great time. The outdoor second floor was awesome with the beautiful weather, service was fast and friendly, and the food was very tasty. We went with the nachos and added short rib, and definitely would recommend them. Great size to share as well! We plan to be back soon and I highly recommend you take a day and check them out!

Had been concerned initially but the service ended being great The pretzels were fantastic and the Parmigiano wings (award winning) were super Prices were reasonable

Loaded fries

Let's get the good out of the way. The atmosphere is excellent. It is covered outdoor seating (think giant porch) in downtown Mount Dora. It is just up the hill from the lake so you get a nice breeze. They have corn hole and a ping pong table. It is very cute. The servers were very nice although clearly overwhelmed. I do believe this will solve itself once they have been open for a bit and get into the groove. The food was mediocre and took a very long time to get. I am sure once they have been open for a bit the timing will get worked out. What really drove down the rating was the amount of feathers that were still attached to the wings. I am well aware of where they come from but I would like all the plucking to be done before I get the wings. We removed at least 5 separate feathers. It will be a while before I go back.

Burger

Beautiful Sunday in Mount Dora so stopped by here for the 3rd time. First two times were solid, had a 10-14-19yr old in tow, let's do it. Chicken nachos are terrible. The chicken could possibly be Tyson pre cooked and cut from Publix. Very bland. Cheese is white runny queso. 1.7/10 Ordered a cheese pizza. Sauce, cheese. It's not on menu but server said we can ring in the Marg pizza and make that work. Came out wrong. Right one was 5.8 Hot honey chicken- solid as always. Probably top 4 chicken Sammy in Central Florida. Sweet potato fries good. 9.1 Hot pep/sausage flatbread- little undercooked by 6.3 This is a blah experience at the moment which is fine. Can't be great every day...but then the server walks by with 4 plates of other people's eaten food and drops them next to us. Sauce flies all over my son's legs, shorts, and shirt. Server apologized, helped with clean up. Mess up order, spill other people's sauces all over a patron and no manager? Full price bill. Also didn't ask me if I had a number for rewards I signed up for. I had this marked as my family spot when in MD but unlikely to come back.

Backyard Wings
Rebekah C.

My first visit to The Yardery was really great! It had been raining and the upstairs was closed off (not sure if the two were related or if just staffing; private dining; etc) so we sat downstairs at a high top. Brandon was quick with welcoming us and giving some recommendations on the menu. I got the Mount Dora Sunset and it was delicious. Perfectly balanced! I ordered the wings as my meal and my partner chose the pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was enjoyed and the wings were ok. They were meaty, but a bit dry when I bit in to them. The cardinal sin of not having blue cheese dressing for wings was a disappointment, however these wings are not hot by any means and I will say their ranch was tasty. Hand-cut fries were delicious. Based off of this experience my review would be 4 stars. I enjoyed this visit so much much I came back a week later on a day off for lunch with my bestie. This visit was not like last time. (Which is a good reminder of why I usually wait until I've tried somewhere more than once before reviewing.) We sat upstairs and it was fairly busy (at least compared to the last visit) with 3 other tables eating and a handful of folks seated at the bar. I was very excited to get another Mount Dora Sunset and my gf ordered a margarita. First thing I noticed is that the drink looked very different from last time and the flavor was definitely different too. Same ingredients but maybe the measurements weren't the same? It wasn't awful, and I wasn't going to waste the rum so down the hatch it went! I got a buffalo chicken flat bread and my gf got the Baja fish tacos with the twisted street corn side. The flat bread was good, a little crisper would have been better so I'll remember that for next time I go. My friend said the tacos were good, a little sweeter than expected, but good and the street corn was devoured. Service was where this visit fell short. I don't think it was to blame on our server but more so on the set up. I haven't been here on a hopping weekend but I can't imagine it would run smoothly. It seems they have the bartenders doubling duty as the servers which as you can imagine is stretching them thin. Again, maybe they are better staffed at the busiest times, but we encountered 2 people to take orders, make drinks, run food, clear dishes, etc. and it didn't give the level of service you'd want or expect. I asked for a side of ranch dressing that showed up as I was ready for a box for my leftovers. And a refill that I had given up on happening just after. Again, I don't blame the staff on this, but it seems they may need to either increase staffing or find a better system. I'll be back for sure and will update if that visit changes my rating.

See all

Rating: 5/5 Review Body: We stumbled upon Fifth Avenue Streatery in Mount Dora today while in town for business - got hungry and looked up something local and simple, and boy, are we glad we did! This place is so unique; it looks like it used to be a gas station transformed into a cozy outdoor eatery with all seating under cover, string lights, fans, and heaters for comfort. It's got that authentic, laid-back Florida vibe with wooden decks, umbrellas, and views of the street - super charming and not stuffy at all. The menu is a great mix of unique twists and classic favorites, with plenty of options so everyone can find something. We went with build-your-own burgers and their signature Fifth Avenue burger - absolutely delicious, juicy, and flavorful! It's now my top burger pick (besides the ones my husband grills at home, of course). Everything's made from scratch, and big compliments to the chef/owner - a talented woman running the show, girl power all the way! We were there with our 7-year-old daughter, who's been to all sorts of fancy places, and she absolutely loved it - from the fun outdoor setup to her kid-sized burger. The hostesses, Hailey and Beth, were the sweetest, so friendly and welcoming, making us all feel right at home like family. Don't skip the desserts - we tried the flourless chocolate torte with fresh cream and raspberry sauce, and it was heavenly, rich but not too heavy. Overall, fresh food, great service, and a spot that's perfect for families. We'll be back next time we're in Mount Dora!

The drinks were priced great and the soup and burgers were so good! But I went 01/10/2026 at 230pm (busy rush for a pub on a Saturday) and I ordered a burger and soup because they have a soup of the day each day, who doesn't love that. Well my soup came out quick and I was pleased with that, it was chicken orzo soup, so good! Well I start getting to the soup and thought oh wow they put cheese in here, didn't tell me it would have cheese and I'm rubbing it around in my mouth cause I like to taste my food you know? Well it wasn't cheese...... IT WAS SOMEONES CHEWED MINTY GUM IN MY MOUTH STUCK IN MY TEETH I got sick (in a napkin of course) and informed my server, ran to the bathroom some more getting sick and when I came back my server informed me I wouldn't pay for anything, I made a comment that maybe the dishwasher didn't do a good job but the server told me he wish that was the case that it was intended for an employee on break and he thought it was mine in the window and it wasn't, he apologized, well I took a couple shots of whiskey to kill the bacteria hopefully. I asked for a manger to come talk to me because I work in the food industry and I don't feel it was handled correctly, he informed me the manger was not there he had to text her to get the approval for the bill. So I was definitely taken back. I have never had anything like this happen to me and the two girls I was with also tasted the soup because I said it didn't taste right and they was literally given a bill for their 15$ burgers and I got a 10% card to hopefully come back. I have called twice to talk to a manger and have not gotten through to anyone, I've seen messages online to suspected owners and still nothing back, I was told the guy with the gauges in the kitchen is the one that did it, I woken up with a sore throat today and will be going to get tested and they will be informed of my medical bills by a lawyer. PS my friend ordered a burger Togo a few hours later for her aunt I went in to get the burger and pay with my 10% card and the short haired short server with glasses was seen laughing at the computer about the situation, I just don't think it was funny at all.

They have all the breakfast items you can imagine and a whole bunch of lunch and dinner options as well. Their menu continues to expand. We, of course, went for breakfast and had our choice of eggs and bacon and grits and pancakes ... but what stood out for me was the biscuits and gravy and the SOS. If you don't know what SOS stands for, look it up... it's a great breakfast item. The SOS is not the same as the biscuits and sausage gravy because that is sausage gravy, the SOS has chipped beef in gravy and usually will come on toast, but I prefer it with the biscuits. I asked for my eggs over easy and they were just right. The side of grits comes in a small bowl which is a good portion for one person and the pancakes were humongous - a very good size for two pancakes and golden brown... I ended up sharing with my wife. We were very happy with the service that they gave us and one of the managers came around to see if everything was good or if we needed anything and we really appreciated that. This is a very down to earth place where it feels like home. It's a great place to bring the family, and we did see a lot of people with their kids, but, we also saw couples like myself and my wife sharing some good coffee or sweet tea and loving life.
