    Good Vibes, But a Few Misses We recently visited American Social for brunch and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere was lively and fun...definitely a great spot if you're looking for upbeat brunch energy. We started with the deviled eggs, and those did not disappoint. They were flavorful, well-balanced, and probably the highlight of our meal. For entrées, my husband ordered the brunch burger. The menu didn't list bacon, and even after our server double-checked to confirm it wouldn't come with bacon, the burger still came out topped with it. While mistakes happen, it was frustrating having to wait for the order to be remade while the rest of the table was already eating. I ordered the Fruity Pebbles chicken and waffles for my daughter. It was okay, but definitely on the sweeter side. The chicken itself was coated in cereal and then topped with syrup, which made the whole dish very sweet overall -- just a bit underwhelming for us. On a positive note, the kids' portions were great. The mac and cheese and chicken tenders were both solid and generously portioned. Overall, the food was a bit underwhelming for the price point, but I'd probably give it another try...if only for the Maui Mimosa. That drink alone might bring us back.

    This was my first time coming to this place during late night happy hour so I was expecting more than what it was. The menu was very limited, but I got some wings and a side of fries and a margarita... I asked for the wings well done they came out regular. The fries were regular. The margarita was pretty good. It just came in a really small glass but all in all it was good... Our service was a little slow. They weren't as busy, but it was a fight on... the ambience of the place is pretty nice It's mellow..dim lights. It's definitely good for a date night for overall I give this place a 7/10

    Came here on a early Sunday afternoon. The place is big with a large center bar. Very old school big bar but nice. All the staff was very nice and helpful. Our waitress was seated and served us and she was good. The best part was the dj was really good. Thoroughly enjoyed the music. All the food we had was good so we're the drinks. I got a spicy bloody mary and I was not disappointed. The mimosas were flowing and overly "juicy" good pour. My only complaint about the food was I need more candied bacon on the devil eggs. I think we got five and only 3 had the bacon and it was not consistent. Other than that the blackend grill chicken sandwich with avocado and over easy egg....delicious!! The Brussels sprouts, chicken wings, watermelon and feta salad were sooo tasty. A+ I do recommend.

    I always enjoy this place. The food is always hot and fresh and the variety is plentiful. This is one of my preferred spots for a happy hour or just a cool place to hang with friends. The environment is lively especially later in the nighttime. Overall, good service, good food, good drinks at a reasonable price.

    The restaurant got busy just before our arrival, which was a little wait before being helped. Floor manager Angela came over to check on us and offered to buy us an appetizer for the inconvenience, which was not expected but very kind. We ended up having the goat cheese croquettes, whixh were nice. Our server, Jules, was very upbeat and detailed and a pleasure to have. The Mahi sliders were soooo good....I added onion, blue cheese crumble, and cilantro lime sauce to them, which enhanced the flavor. The restaurant is located in a shopping plaza that iffers plenty of parkonf parking. The restaurant itself has a nice inside dining area surrounded by a middle bar, and has two private areas that can host a private event, both of which were occupied at the time. The bar was impressive as it was stocked with certain spirits that I cannot find locally. Looking forward to coming back for a visit.

    Nice looking sports bar. Sat at the bar for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't very busy. Great smashburger on a pretzel bun and espresso martini (Got my morning coffee and lunch beverage all in one). Would go back.

    A girls dream when it comes to Sports Bars. Long story short. We just moved to Orlando. We needed a new spot to watch football on Sunday's. I went on Yelp and found this place- it checks off all of my boxes: 1. It's NOT a dive bar. 2. Great food 3. Happy Hour Specials The place is modern and new, and I love the whole vibe. It has upscale sports bar vibes. Great bathroom too! The food is excellent and on Sundays they have a Happy Hour menu! We ordered the 4:15pm games are the sweet spot because Happy Hour goes from 4pm-7pm. Basically, the whole time your here- it's Happy Hour! We ordered the Hot Honey Pepperoni and it was phenomenal. The sweet and spicy contrast was perfect. Now I feel like I need honey with all my Pepperoni Pizzas going forward. We will be back!

    Excellent service!! We stop in for a bit and were glad we did. Good food and great Vibes!

    This is a great spot for happy hour after work. The drinks are consistently good, the appetizers are well-prepared, and the overall atmosphere makes it an easy place to relax and unwind. Considering the quality of the food and drinks, it's definitely one of the better values on Sand Lake. A solid choice whether you're meeting friends, coworkers, or just looking for a great happy hour destination.

    We were sat immediately after walking in and were pleasantly surprised to learn it was Happy Hour! The atmosphere was upbeat and welcoming, which set a great tone for the evening. Although a few menu items we hoped to try were unavailable, the food we did order was fresh and flavorful. We shared 2 Hamburger Tacos, 2 Shrimp Tacos, deviled eggs, and the Spinach & Artichoke dip. Each dish was presented nicely and tasted great -- the tacos were the highlight of the meal! Overall, a solid experience with friendly service and a lively vibe. I'd definitely return, especially to take advantage of Happy Hour again.

    A friend took us here when we visited Orlando. So glad he did, this is a great place. I had a very nice Old fashioned, well made by our bartender, Jess, who said I would be happy with it. Jess was so Cheerful, outgoing and friendly to us, even though we just met. We ordered the soft pretzel and it had to be the best one we ever ate.

    Spicy Ranch Wedges were really great, worth the price! Great selection, fun atmosphere & server Brooke was so personable. Burger was good, the Goat Cheese Croquettes were not great tbh, cooked fine but the flavor & sauce combo wasnt my thing.

    Decent meal here. If you're looking for something with good options and drinks. Only had time for a quick lunch. But it was tasty and relatively quick. The servers were nice and even though we got there before they opened, they went ahead and sat us, which was really nice.

    Do they have all NFL games on Sunday or just local teams?

    Yes absolutely

    Can you bring a dog?

    We permit dogs on our patio which is covered, cooled, and also has it's own bar if that is of interest. Certified service dogs are of course permitted inside the restaurant.

Monica was friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent customer service. Unfortunately, our interaction with Mary was the complete opposite. She was rude and unaccommodating, which made our visit unpleasant. After ordering a few drinks, we decided to patronize another business. As a group of returning customers, we were also disappointed that no effort was made to accommodate us. We've supported this restaurant year after year, and we expected a more welcoming experience, especially as loyal guests. We hope management recognizes the difference that customer service can make and addresses these concerns so future guests--and returning customers like us--have a better experience.

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.

The inside bar was bit fuller and we spotted the bartender right away. We sat down ordered drinks and viewed the menu. We started off with the pretzel which was good. It was a bit undercooked, but not a dealbreaker. And here's where things got a little interesting. There was a group there who was celebrating a wedding. They were LOUD. Not rude or inappropriate, but just loud. I'm all for having fun, but they were a bit over the top. Through some conversation with the staff, we found out the outdoor bartender came in to make sure the inside bartender was ok given those particular patrons. Solid move on his part for helping out a colleague! The food from here was scattered. My wife's salad came out and was drenched in dressing. Despite the menu saying all dressings on the side, that apparently doesn't apply to the Caesar according to the staff. My wings came much later...much much later. It wasn't a complicated order, so it was a bit surprising. That being said, they were cooked well and seasoned/sauced nicely. It seemed they had a bit of an off day here, so I want to review accordingly.
