    Popeye omelet
    Roberta K.

    Another great family breakfast..... we started out with fried zucchini. ( I know WHAT) I just live their fried zucchini and have to have some every time we go. Mom had the Popeye omelet. She opted for sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes today because she wanted one of their famous huge homemade biscuits. My boys had French toast and a waffle combo with eggs and bacon. I also had a waffle combo but with ham. Always great service and fantastic food. Huge portions at a great price. I had to add a picture of my coffee mug. So cute.

    A true American diner. I've been eating here for years and it's always great. I get the skillet #1 with the biscuit. Always friendly staff and the place has an old world charm.

    If you are in Ocoee eat here. Very good and reasonably priced. Everything was outstanding!

    I love diners, especially neighborhood, mom and pop, so this is a solid place for a home-style breakfast. No fuss, nothing too fancy. It was pretty busy but the wait wasn't too crazy. The menu has a lot of options. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for something casual and I'll probably be returning to try other dishes. I ordered the waffle combo with eggs, bacon and hash browns.

    Fried chicken club

    I have had a door delivered menu from Carlo's on my desk for several years. I am from NJ, land of the diner. So, I finally made my wY to this spot. One word - DELICIOUS! Beat diner food I have had in Florida. I enjoyed a fried chicken club with fries. Simple and expertly prepared, served piping hot. Great friendly service. It's real close to home in a neighborhood I've never been before. I'll be back regularly. I had another go-to diner which shall remain nameless as I have nothing but praise for them. But Carlo's is now it for me when looking for comfort food.

    Drove by here on a whim and decided to give it a whirl. Glad we stopped by. The food was good. The service was impeccable. The vibe was very calm and had a lot of locals that you could tell easily that they come in alllll the time. I ordered the wagon wheel which was good and my guest got Carlo's special. The prices were super reasonable and all the food came out hot as soon as it was ready. I like that the kitchen is in view of the seating area so you can see the magic happen. Our server was super awesome. My guest accidentally left his phone and she brought it out to us. Overall the stars are for service, decent food, and cleanliness.

    Wagon Wheel breakfast: beef fritter w/sausage gravy, scrambled eggs, hashbrowns
    Melinda S.

    We wanted to find a local spot to have Christmas Eve breakfast and chose to try Carlo's. It was a great choice! It looks very unassuming from the outside, but don't let that turn you away. Once you walk in, the atmosphere is bright and clean. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I chose to try the Wagon Wheel breakfast which has a fried beef fritter (like country fried steak), with sausage gravy, eggs, and hashbrowns. I also ordered a side of corned beef hash for my boyfriend and I to share. Our meals came out quickly. All of the food was quite good. The corned beef hash was perfect, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beef fritter was delicious and the gravy was one of my favorites! The eggs and hashbrowns were a little bland, but nothing salt and pepper didn't fix. It helped that they were cooked well and not greasy like many diners. I am not a big breakfast food fan and it takes a lot for me to like a breakfast out, but this was a good one! I will definitely return.

    Jerky Liver & Onions with no flavor mashed potatoes

    Known this diner to have good food from the local recommendations so I decided to try. Menu was limited which to me means what they have listed is probably their best dishes. Closes at 2. I ordered the liver & onions with mashed potatoes. Was the worst I ever had and I have had a lot! The liver was like jerky and not seasoned during cooking and the mashed potatoes were out of a box and can tell used water to make it was so bland no salt or butter used. Really not edible! The one thing was decent was the brown gravy. I see that people were eating hamburgers and those looked good. For a small hole in the wall was hoping for something spectacular but was a fail! Will try the hamburger next time and give this place another shot. If it is better I will change my review.

When we arrived the front room was empty with a sign to head to the back to be seated. We were able to grab a table and the server came by pretty quickly. She was super friendly and did let us know right away they were a little short staffed and it could be a little longer than normal service would be expected to be. We were ok with that and appreciate the transparency before we even ordered. I opted for a chicken Caesar salad since I was not too hungry. The salad was the perfect size and the chicken was grilled perfectly. One of the kids had the wings - she said they were cooked perfectly and the other had chicken tenders and fries - she liked them as well. We really didn't feel the wait was that long for food or for service, but you could tell the server and the manager were both hustling. Will be back for another meal. They also have lots of TVs for sporting events and they had a line dancing class going on inside as well. Looks like they do some fun events during the week so check it out!

Based on the Staff recommendations we had the Blue Cheese, brisket, and Bacon Burgers. We also got the burger loaded fries and some wings with the Brave sauce. Everything was fantastic the Brisket & Bacon burger were the stand outs, fries were really good however (and this is why it's a 4 not a 5), the fries were supposed to be the star. They were beef tallow fries and I may have let my expectations get too high. I had some fries aka chips in England at the Borough Market, they were fried in the beef grease from the hamburgers that were made daily. Best fries I've ever had in my life. These were good fries, but not what I hoped for. Go in expecting good fries, but that's all they are. Overall this was amazing with really great burgers and we will be back again!!

    This reads less like a sincere tribute to Native American history and more like a marketing…read moredepartment's fantasy of what Native American history looks like. The opening paragraph is historically simplistic to the point of being misleading. Thousands of years of Indigenous history across two continents are compressed into a cartoon narrative about tribes "taking over" America and earning their place through bravery. Entire civilizations, languages, governments, trade networks, spiritual traditions, agricultural innovations, and cultural achievements are reduced to a generic story about warriors and conquest. The text repeatedly treats hundreds of distinct Indigenous nations as if they were a single culture with a shared identity and experience. The Apaches, Cherokees, Navajos, Cheyennes, and countless others are mentioned almost as decorative references before being blended into one vague idea of "the Indian." Modern scholarship, Indigenous historians, and Native communities themselves have spent decades pushing back against exactly this kind of flattening of Native identity. The deeper problem is that Native Americans appear to function here primarily as a branding tool. Indigenous peoples are introduced, their history is briefly summarized, and then the narrative immediately pivots to selling hamburgers. The text essentially argues that because Native Americans were brave, a burger restaurant can inherit that "warrior spirit" and use it as a brand identity. That connection is so weak that it borders on absurd. The repeated use of terms like "warrior spirit," "warrior cooks," and "bravery" relies on some of the oldest and most overused stereotypes applied to Native Americans. It presents Indigenous peoples primarily as warriors, hunters, and tribal figures rather than as diverse, living communities with rich and evolving cultures. While courage and resilience are certainly part of many Indigenous histories, reducing entire peoples to warrior symbolism is not respect--it is stereotype. What makes this especially concerning is that there appears to be no meaningful connection between the brand and Native communities. Is the business Native-owned? Does it partner with Native organizations? Does it support Indigenous causes? Were Native people consulted in developing the brand? Is there any authentic Indigenous influence on the menu, recipes, sourcing, or business mission? The text offers no indication of any such relationship. Instead, it appears to borrow Indigenous identity, imagery, and symbolism while giving little back to the people whose cultures it claims to celebrate. As a result, the branding can feel less like appreciation and more like appropriation. Native American history becomes a backdrop, an aesthetic, and a source of marketing language rather than something treated with care, accuracy, or depth. The story invokes Indigenous peoples not to educate customers about them, but to create an atmosphere of toughness, adventure, and authenticity around a burger. From a branding perspective, the concept is surprisingly self-defeating. The story spends so much time romanticizing a vague and stereotypical version of Native American history that it never establishes a convincing reason why any of this relates to hamburgers in the first place. The connection feels forced, contrived, and ultimately unbelievable. Rather than strengthening the brand, it raises questions about why Indigenous identity was chosen as the foundation of the business at all. If the goal was to honor Native Americans, the brand should begin with historical accuracy, specificity, genuine relationships, and respect for the diversity of Indigenous cultures. Instead, it presents a romanticized and commercialized version of Native history that exists primarily to make a hamburger sound more exciting. Ultimately, the most difficult question this brand story fails to answer is also the most important one: Why are Native Americans central to the identity of this restaurant? If the answer is simply that concepts like bravery, warriors, and tribal imagery make for compelling marketing, then the brand is not truly celebrating Indigenous cultures--it is using them. That distinction matters, and it is why many readers may find this narrative not only historically questionable, but deeply inappropriate as the foundation of a modern business.
