    My boyfriend and I dined at fork and barrel just about a week ago. The interior had a nice rustic farmhouse look to it with a variety of touches such as barrels on display. For an appetizer, we chose the Florida Sweet Corn Bread. It was moist and the honey butter was mouthwatering. The Southern Blackened Redfish was my choice for an entrée. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sides paired well. My boyfriend selected the Salmon Oscar and enjoyed it as well. In addition, the service was good as expected. Both the meal and appetizer came out fast. Our waiter, Reynaldo, was kind. Overall, we rate the experience a 9/10. Just shy from being a perfect 10/10. Can't wait to come back soon!

    The restaurant was not busy on a Saturday afternoon except for a few bar customers. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Our server was friendly and helpful. Their menu offers a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and main courses- steak and seafood selections. Their food is well priced. For starters I ordered the Lobster Bisque, and it was tasty. The bisque was too thick, and the cream gave it an appearance of slight separation indicating they added it while the soup was too hot and very thick; not much lobster to speak of, good tasting soup overall. My husband ordered the cornbread which comes with butter- it was nice, 3 mini loaves of well baked, with a crispy crust and a layer of sugar cornbread goodness. I like cornbread to be a bit sweeter but I was delighted with this version. My husband tried the French Dip au Jus with truffle fries. He gave it a thumbs up; really loved it. I stole a few fries and they were amazing! We both loved the flavor, the crispiness and doneness were on point. The Caesar salad ingredients tasted freshly cut and prepared. The croutons were not homemade but were fresh. It had both grated and shavings of parmesan cheese and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked. The Caesar dressing was not my fave. It was sort of an emulsified Parmesan vinaigrette- on the very acidic- not enough traditional flavor side, which really surprised me because I expected a great version, but not this time, in my opinion the dressing was a no for me. They offer a bar area, booths, self standing tables and additional seating, maybe suitable for private events. Their decoration is Americana rustic farmhouse concept. Nice 80's, 90's + music playing in the background. We will be back soon!

    Ok, third time since its re opening as fork and barrel. I was with a large group. They had gotten the back room. The music was too loud and we couldn't hear the speaker. Although they had said before they could turn down the music, apparently there is only one music volume for the whole restaurant and so they denied our request to turn it down. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. I got the redfish sandwich. She asked if fries are ok and when I asked to swap it for a salad she said yes but never told me there is a $4 upcharge. That's rude.

    I came to enjoy a cocktail during happy hour and the bartender was so accommodating and super friendly. I enjoyed a French 75 and I am excited to go back to see what's on their menu and try their dishes. The restaurant is extremely spacious and very cozy.

    Sweet potato fries were my favorite! All the house made sauces were my second favorite! Great food and service. Disappointed that they ran out of bloody mary mix. But it happens! I'll go back for sure.

    Short ribs, mashed potatoes and carrots.

    Server, Emma, was wonderful. Checked on us but was not intrusive. Food was excellent! I had the short ribs and the deviled eggs appetizer.

    Phenomenal food, great service, the scenery is beautiful. perfect spot for a date especially with the private back room.

    Appetizers, cocktails, and the red fish were delicious. The pork chop was good and the mashed potatoes were so so.

    The food/service was just average. Not bad, just average. The overall experience was a bit expensive for what you get.

The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it easy to sit back and enjoy our drinks. While they don't serve food, it's an ideal stop before or after a meal at one of the nearby restaurants. If you're in the area and looking for a place to unwind with a good cocktail, Packwoods is definitely worth checking out.

(I gather you can order food from the neighboring restaurants while drinking here.) It reminds me of The Courtesy in Winter Park--which I definitely mean as a compliment. The drinks are inventive, well-crafted, and well-presented, and the service is friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. The drink menu the night I went was divided into sections: effervescent, shaken, stirred, and "exploring technique." I had two drinks: the "Siam Silk" is a tiki-ish riff on a clarified milk punch using cognac, a rum blend, and Thai iced tea with fruit; the other drink I had was a low-ABV riff on a Sherry Cobbler. They were both great, and I appreciate that they have a creative low/no-alcohol portion of the menu. This was definitely a pleasant surprise to find up north of Orlando, although perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised at all--Maitland has another one of my favorite bars in the metro area (Permanent Vacation). I'll definitely be back.

There is a decent amount of parking; however, spots are not clearly marked outside the perimeter of the building so make your own spot if you need to. They have a covered patio in front of the building where customers can relax. The bar has seating for 12-15 people and there are more high-tops spread throughout the remainder of the barroom. The bar area has been recently remodeled; however, the restrooms look to be original. If there is any remaining funding for another upgrade, I recommend starting there. The only staff member working tonight was Jason and he was great. He honored my gift card and took great care of us. G's Lounge is definitely a local's hangout. Everyone that was here knew each other and had been coming here for years. Nancy and I were welcomed with open arms and one of the patrons even bought us a drink, what a guy! Something you need to know if you do plan to visit here is that they allow smoking inside the bar and the majority of the customers that are here come here because drinks are cheap and they can smoke inside. The bartender offered to open a large exhaust vent on the wall to ventilate the smoky air during our visit, which I appreciate, but I didn't want to impact all the other customers comfort by filling the room with humidity. Overall, I had a great experience at G's Lounge. Drinks are relatively cheap, staff and guests all were very friendly, there's a cigarette vending machine inside the bar, Jukebox, and some games to play if you're killing some time, and they have several monitors for watching the big game. I would certainly come back again but next time I will bring a cigar to enjoy while we hang out.

    If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a huge drink selection and fun weekly activities,…read moreHourglass is a great local hang. The parking situation isn't the best, there's very limited parking in the front lot of the brewery but there is a lot behind the building if it's full, and it can get full so just be prepared to walk a bit if it's busy. Inside, there's a solid amount of seating with a relaxed, casual vibe. They also have games you can play while hanging out, which makes it a great place to spend a couple hours with friends. What really stands out is the selection. They have a huge variety of beers (something for everyone), plus ciders, non-alcoholic options, and even soda. It's one of those places where everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. They don't serve food, but you're allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. There's a wing spot just a few doors down that makes it super convenient to grab something and bring it back. They also host events throughout the week, my personal favorite is Wednesday night bingo. It's always a fun crowd and a good midweek activity. Overall, it's a great local brewery with a welcoming vibe, tons of drink options, and fun things to do. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation. We ended up staying for well over two hours just enjoying the whole experience -- the vibes, the music, the drinks, and the overall atmosphere were just so good. It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed. It's one of those places you randomly find and then immediately want to gatekeep (but also tell everyone about). Truly such a great experience from start to finish. Can't wait to go back!

The ambiance is about half of what this place is all about. It's very Trader Sam's, including a lot of neat Disney memorabilia on the shelves on the walls behind the bar. Dark and stormy tiki bar vibes. The service was super friendly, and the food and bev came out very timely. The drinks were great, and they had a really nice mocktail menu. You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.
