    Sushi
    Garrett R.

    Great spot to try a bunch of different food. Food at some places did take a while to come out but this is a fun family friendly atmosphere.

    Lobos Coffee
    Cindy D.

    Such a fun community spot. Works super well for the hosted event that I attended recently. Only bit of note that there was an event right after the ours and there was a lot of shuffling around. Might need to add in a buffer time of tear down/set up and let vendors know what time they can start so that there isn't confusion and rush on-site. The space itself was very clean and has a nice shaded area and turf in the sunshine. Lobos Coffee was one of the event's vendors and their drinks were SO GOOD. I ordered the chai latte, iced, with oat milk and sugar free vanilla syrup. Out of the 4 drinks, everyone liked mine a lot. Probably one of the best vanilla chais that I've had. The owner/cashier was so nice too.

    A La Cart in the Mills area is a great venue. If you're in that area, support local! To my surprise, my daughter was asked to perform at a K-POP/Christmas themed meet up at A La Cart in SODO! So awesome to see K-POP get the love in central Florida! Just like Mills, SODO has several food trucks with different food offerings, including a bar with craft drinks. The lawn is much more spacious than Mills, with several vendors taking advantage of the room to sell their wares. I helped my daughter bring in her set up, and as the music session started, a couple of the owners were concerned about the volume being too low. They wanted to make sure she could be heard! Thank you for that! I'm glad they accommodated her by shutting off the music in the bar area until she was finished with her set! Thank you to the K-POP/Christmas promoter Jenn Marasigan for inviting Ava to do her first solo performance in a public venue! She had fun! And thank you to A La Cart SODO for being such a great and welcoming venue! "They're your taste buds. Satisfy them!" -Allan Delacruz

    Ceviche sushi
    Isabel M.

    There are so many great options here for a group with different cravings! They've got TVs (go sports!), a nice selection of beverages, and both indoor and patio seating. Right now, there's even a small pumpkin patch you can buy from! It's such a fun seasonal touch. Each food truck has its own kiosk where you can order easily, and you'll get a text when your food's ready, which makes the process super convenient. We tried two different trucks and both hit the spot for what we were craving. Next time, I'd definitely reorder the chicken skewers and potatoes from the Spain food truck since those were delicious! I'd probably skip the ceviche sushi, though; it was a bit mild in flavor for me. Parking is a little limited, but we've always been able to find a spot without much trouble. You can also order ahead online if you'd rather grab and go instead of dining at A La Cart.

    Contraband Sour 10/10
    Katie F.

    I have not been here on a weekends night in a very long time. I stopped and hung out with some friends before heading to boxy Park later in the evening this evening I got the contraband sour. It is a beer from Knoxville, Tennessee, according to the can, it is 6.3% alcohol by volume, it is 473 mL, and it's also gluten-free. This sour was recommended to me by the gentleman manning behind the bar. It has flavors of strawberry, cucumber, orange, zest, and lime. The color of the sour reminds me of a thicker version of cranberry juice. Tonight it is very loud. There are a couple of parties in the inside area that are very loud so it's a little bit hard to hear however, this place is always a go to. For myself! 10/10 Love it here

    I always have a great time here! It's kind of like my neighborhood bar. All the bartenders are always super nice. I didn't go for food and I usually don't; I went for a little Saint Patrick's drink with the family. My drink had a flavor profile of cereal and lime as I remember it.

    Cool vibe spot in SoDo. Feels a bit roomier than the original milk district location. Plenty of choices for beer, food, and other drinks. It's a bit hidden so keep an eye out. I liked how it's perfect for a nice Florida fall day. Definitely will return with more coworkers next time.

    I had heard so many things about A La Cart but had never been until now. I get the hype! It's nice to have a place where you and your friends or partner can get very different things if you're not on the same page. I tried the sushi truck, it was solid. The pizza spot was even better, but I really loved the viral ice cream that looked like fruit! It was so tasty and refreshing on a hot day. Plenty of tables and green space. Good drink options, my only complaint is I wish they served the "brunch cocktails" all day. The beer-mosa is so delicious! I can't wait to go back and try more food options!

    A very pretty environment, chill vibes! If you're not the biggest fan of children running around, bumping into you/ the table, and don't like them screaming then don't go on the weekends. Besides that, the food was great we got the smash burger and crepes; absolutely amazing and will return in the future!

    Ordered the chicken with rice and noodles from Over rice. Chicken is savory, a little salty and has a little kick. Comes with lumpia- fried spring roll. It is good and crispy. It's a little expensive at 20$ but worth it. Had to wait for 15 mins but worth it. It's a food truck so no service.

    Mango Ice Cream
    Rob L.

    I came here for the first time and had a positive experience. Although, ungodly hot, there were a few different shaded areas for seating. There were plenty of various food vendors and good drink options. It was a cool space, with a nice mural that my wife was happy to snap a picture in front of. My favorite thing I got had to be the viral fruit ice cream. It looked cool and tasted great too! And it was the perfect way to stay cool in the Florida heat. I tried the mango, my wife tried the peach. Both were delicious, but I would definitely get the mango again!

    As a member of the A La Cart "Monday Runday" crew I can say I truly love coming here. There's always great beer on tap and the staff are always helpful and friendly. As a frequenter of the original A La Cart in the milk district, I was so happy when this location opened a little bit closer to my house. And let's be honest, the extra space and parking is definitely a nice and much needed extra benefit. My only "complaint" is that it can get hot here in the summer since it's all technically outdoors but it's truly not enough to keep me away. I even stopped by this past monday and enjoyed a run and a beer in the rain. I'll for sure keep coming back at least on Mondays!

    Schilling Mango Excelsior Cider
    Anna L.

    Finally made it out to the new A La Cart location in SoDo and this is such a great spot! It's a bit more spacious than the original location with 8 food truck options to choose from plus 2 bars. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating with tables, lounge areas, and lawn games. This is definitely one of the most family friendly local hotspots and there are always a ton of kids running around, playing. We met up with some friends that we haven't seen for awhile and it's nice that there are so many different types of cuisine available here. There's truly something for everyone! There's coffee, breakfast, pizza, smash burgers, German food, Filipino/Hawaiian food, sushi, Latin fusion, Caribbean, Spanish tapas and more! Not to mention the extensive beer list at the A La Cart bar, along with wine, cocktails and other non-alcoholic options. I ordered from the Oldenburg German food truck and OverRice (Filipino/Hawaiian). The lumpia and ono mac are always a must from OverRice. I also got a street brat and German pretzels with beer cheese from Oldenburg. Everything was delicious! I also discovered a new favorite cider at the bar -- the Schilling Mango Excelsior imperial cider. Wow, I'm obsessed. It was light & refreshing and 9.1% ABV! I never knew a cider could pack that much punch. I'll definitely be on the lookout for that in the future. We got there before noon on a Saturday and it was still pretty empty at that time, but by 1pm the place was very full. The weather was beautiful so I'm sure everyone wanted to get outside and enjoy it!

    I've been to several Yard House locations over the years, and while every restaurant is a little…read moredifferent, the International Drive location in Orlando definitely stands out. I went with my brother and sister-in-law, and the food was excellent. The lemon pepper dry rub wings were absolutely amazing--crispy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. They were so good I jokingly wanted to bite my fingers afterward! I also tried the Honey Thai wings, but they just weren't for me because I don't really enjoy spicy food. That's completely a personal preference, though. The edamame was fresh and tasty, and the appetizers we shared were all very good. Even though the restaurant was completely packed, the service was impressive. I expected a long wait, but I was seated almost immediately, and our server kept everything moving smoothly despite how busy it was. The only downside is the parking. There isn't convenient parking directly in front of the restaurant, so you'll need to park in the nearby garage, take the elevator down, and walk over. The good news is that parking on the top floor is free. Along the walk, there were several outdoor vendors selling fresh fruit drinks, roasted corn, sweet treats, and small shopping items, which made the walk a little more enjoyable. Overall, this Yard House delivered great food, efficient service, and a fun atmosphere. If you're visiting International Drive and looking for a great place to eat, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll absolutely be back!

    We had already eaten elsewhere and were simply looking for a place to relax, enjoy a few drinks,…read moreand have a conversation. There were several places to choose from, but this one seemed like a good fit because it wasn't overly loud, and we wanted to be able to hear each other. We initially sat outside, but we were told they had stopped serving the outdoor seating area, so we moved inside. Rather than wait for a server, we decided to order directly from the bar since it seemed like the faster option. There weren't enough seats at the bar for our group of five, so we grabbed a nearby booth. The bartender was friendly, and our drinks were excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. Although people were not coming in, but some people were eating, and enjoying drinks throughout the restaurant, it seemed like the staff had started cleaning up for the night. A server came over, and we explained that we were only there for drinks. After we received our drinks from the bar, he returned and told us that we would soon have to get up so he could clean the table. Seriously? I looked around and saw several other tables where some guests were simply sitting, talking, and enjoying their drinks. They weren't eating either. It made us feel as though, because we had only ordered beverages, we weren't as welcome as everyone else. I chose not to let one person's behavior ruin our evening because I'd rather believe that one employee doesn't represent the entire establishment. In fact, the bartender was great, and the drinks were very well made. What disappointed me was the server's attitude. I wasn't aware that ordering drinks at a restaurant with a full bar wasn't enough to be considered a paying customer, especially when there weren't enough bar stools to accommodate our group. His approach came across as rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Needless to say, we were not going to get up until we had finished out drinks, and we did not. I may return to try the food because the drinks were impressive, but if I ever encounter that same server again, I definitely won't be sitting in his section.

    Absolutely fantastic beer, incredibly friendly beertenders, and an awesome vibe! We had some time…read moreto kill before checking into our hotel in Orlando, so we figured we'd hunt down a brewery. Apple Maps was zero help -- it kept suggesting every bar and grill in existence instead of actual breweries. Thankfully, our Minnesota HopPassport saved the day. We pulled up nearby breweries and landed on Rockpit... and wow, we're so glad we did. We were greeted the second we walked in, which instantly set the tone. For our first round, my husband grabbed the Stupider IPA and I ordered the Paloma Possible cocktail. We fully planned on having one drink and heading out -- but they were so refreshing on a hot Florida day that we couldn't resist staying for another. Round two: he went with the 1840 Pre-prohibition lager, and I tried the Motorboatin' Florida agave lager. Both were seriously delicious. The whole place had such a great ambiance and vibe, reminding us of the breweries we love back home in Minnesota. If we're ever in the area again, Rockpit will absolutely be on our list. Cheers!

As a loyal fan of Orlando's local brewery scene (shoutout to my neighborhood favorites Tactical and Ten10), I don't venture far from my comfort zone. But every now and then, I'll travel a daring five miles for a place that feels like it was plucked straight out of the Pacific Northwest and this is that place. The beer? Amazing. The staff? Incredible. The space? Open, welcoming, and plenty of seating to settle in for a while. Now let's talk about the only adventure here: parking. The immediate lot is small and can feel like you're competing in the Orlando Parking Olympics. But there's additional parking across the street to the left near some office buildings. Finding parking in Orlando sometimes feels as hard as snagging a spot in NYC, but trust me, it's worth the effort. They're constantly brewing something new okay, maybe not every single week, but it sure feels like it and somehow it's always excellent. There's always something fresh and creative on tap. So yes, I absolutely recommend this place. If you can park, come on in. You won't regret it.
