The caramelized onion were... wow. They were delicious. My husband got "The Eddy" and those house pickles were crisp and tasty. The black garlic mayo... mmm we want a bottle of that.

This shank is right up there with Bismallah Cafe in Atlanta. 2) Mombar - handmade so we got it to go but wow. Sausage skin stuffed with rice and veggies and the smell is next level. This is exactly the kind if unique, delicious experience that is half the fun of trying new places. 3) Kunafa (nuts) - the texture is crisp and egg battered.

The food was just as good as I remembered from a few years ago. It can be difficult to find consistency in restaurants these days, so I really appreciate that the quality hasn't changed. It's nice to have a spot like Sourdough to add variety to the rotation of mostly American breakfast spots. I ordered the Sourdough Bread Plate, which is a large portion. Even though it's listed on the lunch menu, I was still able to order it for breakfast. Their bread is incredible, and everything tasted so fresh! The ezme is a wonderful addition to add to the avocado and labneh toasts. I also tried the Turkish coffee, but as someone who doesn't drink black coffee, it wasn't quite for me. I would recommend it mainly to those who enjoy strong, black coffee, though it was a nice touch that it came with a Turkish delight! My only minor critique is that the staff weren't around very much. Our server checked in on us once, and after waiting a bit for someone to bring the check, we eventually just walked up to the counter to pay. Nonetheless, everyone was very friendly!

The turkish coffee was also strong for how small the cup was, with a little turkish delight to take the edge off. The bacon was beef, which was nice. Overall, the food was delicious. However, the service wasn't the best, there was about 3 customers in the restaurant when I went, but the server left all of us when we had to pay, leaving all of us to stand in a line waiting to pay. For a weekday, that felt a little odd. I think the food definitely makes up for it.

There weren't tubs of continuously heated proteins just sitting out in the open. Every order was grabbed from the cooler and heated up on the flat top.

If you're looking for amazing hot chicken in Oviedo, this place is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming and laid-back, making it perfect for hanging out with friends, family, or grabbing a quick meal. The staff are always friendly, patient, and helpful when it comes to explaining spice levels and menu options. The food is outstanding every time. The chicken is perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, with tons of flavor in every bite. Their hot chicken sandwiches and tenders are especially good, and you can choose how mild or spicy you want it, which is great for everyone. The fries are seasoned well, and the signature sauce adds the perfect finishing touch. Portion sizes are generous, and the prices feel fair for the quality and amount of food you get. Everything tastes fresh, and even when it's busy, the food comes out hot and well-prepared. Love it! :) read more

The service was smooth and efficient, making the whole process quick and easy. Even though I didn't dine in, I could still appreciate the beautiful art decor and great location while picking up my order. It's clear they put thought into every detail. I'll definitely be ordering again! read more

I knew I would be paying full price for the meal even though I opted not to take the fries. (I'm not much of a fry guy).

Maybe I should have asked a question about the portions. Oh well. The wings were outstanding! They were crispy without requesting crispy. They had great lemon flavor that wasn't drowned out by butter. The fish was also good but had nothing on the wings. The fish was fried golden brown and crispy without being dried out. The place has a small dining room where you can dine in but most people in there were just waiting on to go orders. I'd recommend waiting I'm your car to avoid the dreaded gease smell getting in you clothes.

Three times in the past two months I've called in a takeout order and been told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrive on time, wait another 30 minutes, and then I'm told, "Sorry, someone stole your order." That's a total of 45 minutes wasted, and it's happened multiple times. First, stop telling customers "15 minutes" if that's not realistic. I honestly don't care if the wait is 30, 45, or even 60 minutes because the food is worth it. Just be honest so people can plan accordingly instead of sitting around waiting. Second, fix the pickup process. If orders are repeatedly being stolen, require customers to show a receipt or order confirmation before handing over food. This is such a simple solution, yet the same excuse keeps being used. Every time, all I hear is "We're sorry," but nothing changes. An apology doesn't mean much when the exact same problem keeps happening. I used to recommend this place to everyone because the wings are incredible. Unfortunately, I can't do that anymore. I won't be dining here for the foreseeable future, and I hope the owners see this review because this is a management problem, not a food problem. The quality of the food is still outstanding, but if the customer experience continues to decline like this, they're going to lose loyal customers.

This was my thoughts when I chose Burger Vault. Burger Vault offers burgers and other greasy bites that are all halal. This is just to say that it is consumable based on Islamic beliefs, which is just that meat is prepared in a humane manner. I did have to Google that. It's good to learn and educate yourself. First impressions when I walked in is that it's very popular. As a note, it's also close to The Collective if you're into cards, board games, and other geeky things. Grab a burger and then walk to The Collective. Resuming the review, it's very busy. Like no place to sit busy. Regardless, we thought that we were taking the food to go so that's not really an issue. I ordered the Mozza Melt, which is a 5.3 oz beef patty with fried mozzarella, lettuce, onions, mushrooms, and a sauce. It's as artery clogging as it sounds and worth every bite. I didn't go there to be healthy. The burger cost $15. What I wish I saw was that you can customize every burger and every patty can be done as a smashed patty. I personally prefer that because I like how crispy the edges get. That's on me, I just ordered it medium. Additionally, we got curly fries with cajun seasoning and a pistachio milkshake. The fries were $5. The shake was $10. For the rating, the burger was insane and huge. I felt stuffed by it and other than me not getting it smashed, it was great. I gave it a 7.5/10 for the burger. The pistachio shake gets a 9/10, huge pistachio pieces. The fries are a 10/10. They're curly fries. Love those. All that being said, we waited 30+ minutes for the food. We got it to go. There was no where to sit because all the booths were occupied, so just standing for the majority of it. The staff was really accommodating but I think they were just not prepared to push out as much as was being ordered. So for a $30+ meal with tip and tax, having to wait that long is a bit much. Overall, I would rate it a 7.5/10. I may or may not come back. I mean the food is good, but maybe it's a random Tuesday type of place.
