    Half chicken platter with potatoes and plantains
    Barbara B.

    Since we wished to share some tasty neighborhood food at a place we like, Gallo's became our first suggested choice. We have never been disappointed--whether we have been alone or with a group or served their food at an Apopka VFW dinner show. Not only is the food to our liking, but the portions and prices match excellence. Ordering at the counter allows fast delivery, but you are not forgotten after that. Someone always checks to make sure you are enjoying everything or need something else. It's also common for a manager to visit your table, too. Guests become more like family than simply visitors. Soon, there will be a location in Winter Park, but it's a tribute to Apopka--lucky to be the first location.

    I love the people and I love the grilled chicken, rice, beans, and plantains. I don't care for the fried fish and the veggies on the side aren't fit to eat. I hope they improve all of the food selections to make them all great!

    Such a great addition to the Apopka area! We've been coming here since day one! Their lunch special after the gym has been perfect for us! We eat there often for dinner and have brought large family meals home for get-togethers! The restaurant is always clean and everyone is so nice, and for the price you can't beat this amazing meal!

    Wonderful,awesome and delicious. I recommend going there for an affordable lunch. Causual atmosphere. Friendliest service in all of Apopka. We'll be back.

    Quarter chicken, rice, black beans and plaintains
    Jordain J.

    I was absolutely starving. So myself and my partner decided to just head to any restaurant just to grab some food. I decided to get the rice, black beans and quarter chicken and it was delicious. Marinated and seasoned to perfection along with the three sauces that they gave me to try out. Only two of them which was the white sauce and the green sauce as well, and it was delicious. I'm sure I can get the same meal at many different places so I wouldn't necessarily come back. But I must say for what they did have here. It was really really delicious.

    Kinda basic, definately not as appetizing as the menu board photo would have suggested.

    The steak with fried rice bowl was ok, but a little blah on flavor even with a couple containers of cilantro sauce added. Definitely over priced and not as appealing g as pictured on the menu. Temperature indoors is cold enough to freeze a fresh baked pie in a manor of a few minutes. The employees are friendly and dinning room is reasonably clean. Started by sitting outside on the patio but the roar of the DANCING FAN PEOPLE was deafening.

    Great Food!
    John H.

    Wow! Just Wow! 1. I challenge anyone to find a cleaner restaurant and friendlier employees! 2. Fried Yucca, spot on. 3. Sweet plantains, spot on. 4. Steak/shrimp fried rice bowl, very flavorful. Shrimp a little shrimpy though. 5. White rice and black beans, spot on. 6. Tres Leches, not overly sweet, best I have ever had. 7. Corn Bread.........was told it is better than the tres leches. IT WAS! I promised myself I will actually try the chicken next visit! And of course get the tres leches and cornbread!! Bravo, Gallo! Bravo!

Since I've never personally gotten any chicken from this gas station / convenience store that host this delicious chicken I can't speak of the service but I was told that the staff here managing the food are extremely friendly and work hard to accommodate their customers. The chicken is advertised as "Cajun Style" although very flavorful it is relatively mild and I wouldn't think anyone will challenge the level of spice. As the name says it's Krispy and Crunchy and very fresh and tender, I was told they don't prepare a large volume ahead of time and set the chicken under heat lamps for an extended amount of time so depending on when you show up you may have a short wait to ensure you are served fried chicken that is hot and moist. Besides the chicken we also got a side of potato wedges and the honey biscuits, absolutely no complaints from any of us that participated in this work place lunch - I love finding new food options so I definitely plan to visit this location in the future...

I ordered the 4 box combo with fries and coleslaw. Service was friendly and efficient. We were greeted immediately upon walking in, and the food came out quickly. Unfortunately, the quality did not match my past experiences. The chicken tenders were small, dry, and lacked that freshly cooked texture I normally expect. The fries also tasted like they had been sitting rather than served hot and crisp. The biggest issue was the coleslaw. After just a couple of bites, I noticed an unusual taste that made me stop eating it immediately. Later that evening, I began feeling sick to my stomach, and that feeling continued through the night. I have had better experiences at other Raising Cane's locations, but food quality and freshness are essential at any restaurant. This visit did not meet that expectation.

All in all, my coworkers still love Raising Cane's and demolished 3 trays of chicken tenders, two trays of bread, and one tray of fries.

    I don't usually go out of my way for fast food. But today? I did. I made the trip. I committed…read more Because when it comes to Raising Cane's, I'm usually all in. That's what made this one sting a little. Let me set the stage. I pull up to the Kissimmee location already knowing what I'm getting. This place has one job. Chicken. Not a massive menu. Not a bunch of distractions. Just chicken, fries, toast, slaw. Simple. Focused. The kind of setup where you expect consistency every single time. And then the tray hit the table. The chicken? Bland. Like no one introduced it to seasoning. And somehow also soggy. You know that moment when you bite in expecting that crispy crunch and instead you get... soft confusion? Yeah. That. It honestly felt like the oil wasn't hot enough. Which is kind of a big deal when frying is your entire identity. Now here's where it gets even more frustrating. Cane's sauce is usually the safety net. It can cover a lot of sins. Underseasoned chicken? Fine. Dip it, save it, move on. But it cannot fix texture. It cannot create crunch out of thin air. And when the crisp isn't there, the whole thing falls flat. The fries didn't do much to help the situation. Underdone. Under salted. Just kind of there. Taking up space. Not offensive, just disappointing. Like they almost made it to the finish line and then decided to clock out early. And here's the part that really gets me. When you only do one thing, you have to nail it. Every time. No excuses. No off days. No close enough. This isn't a diner with a 10-page menu. This is chicken. How do you forget to make it crispy? Now, credit where it's due. The Texas toast? Still elite. Buttery, golden, doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The coleslaw? Fresh, crisp, actually refreshing. And the staff here? Friendly, efficient, and the food came out quick. No complaints on the service side at all. So now I'm sitting there having this internal debate. Because I know what Raising Cane's can be. And this wasn't it. somewhere in the middle of that meal it hit me that I went out of my way for this and got a version that felt like it cut corners That's a tough pill to swallow in an area like Kissimmee where you've got options everywhere you turn. Great food is not hard to find around here. Which makes subpar chicken stand out even more. Three stars. And that feels generous based on the sides and the service carrying the weight. But let's be clear. I'm usually a five star guy when it comes to Raising Cane's. This just wasn't that day. And when your whole brand is built on doing one thing right, you don't get a pass when that one thing misses.

    Normally I like Raising Canes, when fast food is concerned, as far as taste (there's hardly any…read morenutritional value besides protein) - but this location was not good.
