    Latte
    Haley Y.

    The service was wonderful and personable and the food was great! I got the Reuben. I can't remember our waitresses name but she was lovely and got me this latte for free when I did not like my potato salad. The vibe itself is a mom and pop diner style breakfast and lunch place. It got pretty packed around noon.

    Cuban sandwich

    It's where you come for consistent comfort food. The Cuban was quite delicious. I didn't know how extensive their coffee flavors were. Always a plus.

    Good Morning Platter
    Erika E.

    Breakfast was pretty good here! I love diners and this is a great addition to our neighborhood. Loved my Good Morning Platter. Not super salty which is great for those who are looking for lower sodium options. My dad did say his coffee wasn't very hot, but didn't want to complain. Overall, good experience and I will be returning!

    Bacon, eggs over easy, hash browns with a biscuit. The eggs are always perfectly prepared.

    Avalon just delivers every time. After a disastrous Christmas dinner at an overprice, terrible steakhouse, it was nice to get back to earth with lunch at Avalon. The food is fabulous, perfectly prepared and service is friendly and fun. Oh, and bring your appetite.

    Meatloaf and mashed potatoes
    Kristi B.

    Ashamed to say, it has been so long since we had been over this way. Avalon diner has all of your down-home favorites cooked just like your grandma would make it. They also adjusted their hours to accommodate dinner on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Those nights they're open until 7 PM! The rest of the week and weekend they close at 2 PM. My husband opted for one of the specials which was meatloaf and mashed potatoes. He asked to customize his mashed potatoes, a little bit with some shredded cheddar cheese, and a side of sour cream. One of the few restaurants we've ever been to that actually accommodated it. Meatloaf is moist with good seasoning and mashed potatoes were well done. I opted for the Montecristo with fries, as I mentioned before their fries are perfect! Sandwich was really good. I love that it's served with blackberry preserves as it gives a little bit more hardiness to the very sweet dish that it is. if you were in the Winter Garden area would highly suggest that you check them out! It's a great locally, owned and operated business !

    Southwestern omelette with home fries- $9.99
    Tina F.

    Checked out several places in the area for brunch on a Sunday morning. Not an easy feat with churches letting out around that time. Thankfully found this one on Yelp and really had no wait. The place was packed, inside and out, and our party of 4 stood at the hostess station outside waiting unsuccesfully for someone to notice us. A couple sitting at a nearby table suggested that we just grab the open table outside and seat ourselves. They said they were regulars and that usually works out fine. Sure enough, within about 10-15 minutes, a server came by asking us what we wanted to drink. There were about 5 or 6 tables outside. Not sure how many were inside but it appeared to be a small place and super packed, so no thank you. The weather held up, we enjoyed a nice breeze and it wasn't too hot so sitting outside worked out perfectly for us. The omelettes were fairly basic and really didn't have much seasoning on them. Same goes for the home fries. The serving size was ample and filling. If you are avoiding bread, you can order a serving of sliced tomatoes as a replacement, which is a nice option. I would visit this place again but probably not on a Sunday morning.

    Local diners are the backbone to so many neighborhoods. When you are too lazy to cook or just want that quintessential American vibe, Avalon Diner is where it's at. Breakfasts here are our favorite. There is something about that delicious crunch of their hash browns that cannot be matched! Omelettes and sandwiches are on point. Whether you are coming in to sober up from a late night or dressed in your Sunday best, you are greeted warmly with a "what can I get you, hon"

    Good solid diner food with friendly service. Only draw back here is they need twice the space. Always full inside when we visit.

The Southern burger was great, but I tossed off the raw onions as I absolutely hate them, and added the lovely pickled onions from my wife's salad, which gave the perfect amount of flavor and color. Don't you agree? Give me a LIKE if you do !!! The crepe was next level. Delicate crepe, very soft ripe bananas, sauce was not disgustingly sugary, and the vanilla ice cream was smooth and soft, not icy and sweet. Dunno what brand they use, or if they churn the cream fresh in-house, but it made my day.

There are lots of delightful restaurants there (according to yelpers) but many were located downtown and parking was hard to find so we decided to go to Fifth Avenue Streatery since we had driven by and there was lots of parking. All of which the tables are outside on a charming patio with lots of interesting decor. It was 11:30 so the day was pleasant and sitting outside was fine. Not sure how I would feel about that in August. Our waitress was Haley (guessing at the spelling) and she was bubbly and very attentive. The menu wasn't overwhelming and I always think that's a good sign that most of the food is being prepared fresh and not pulled from a freezer. My mom ordered the fish sandwich with tomato and cucumber salad. After ordering the Italian Haley said they were out of beef until the owner arrived so I went for the day's special which was a seafood basket: two pieces of fried fish, four huge shrimp and clam strips. Clam strips are not my favorite but these were very crisp and tasty. It was served with fries and cold slaw. We both agreed the food was very good. I asked for some cocktail sauce and after a few minutes she came back with saying she had to make some. It was fantastic, very horseradish forward which I loved. I am glad we couldn't locate our first two choices since we got to eat at this funky little place and have the best server in all of Mt. Dora.

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.

Well that all changed over the years as more places opened and competition got stiffer. When the original owner, Derelict Dave, sold to Luis & Gio a few years ago the place got going again. But when the "Bridges Brothers" bought the place it was awful timing as decades of neglect to the plumbing and equipment made the place an Inspection review nightmare! They pumped some money into revamping the motif of the place but all they did was just raise prices it seemed. The quality and choices of food went downhill and the staff was subpar. The initial training of the employees was minimal and it showed in the operational inefficiency. 10 months after opening they bite the bullet and close the doors to stop the hemorrhaging of cash. Another big problem is the landlord is notoriously, cheap, and impossible to deal with so good luck to anyone else who tries to lease out that spot as they will pay through the nose with a zero Tennant improvement!
