The only downside I have to say about today is because they have a baby shower and every table on the inside is being taken up by this 50% baby shower along with half of the tables outside and I don't wanna listen to their baby shower or any other people with their children I just wanted to sit for a drink and they have taken over like three of the tables with the umbrellas and I know it's not à la carte's fault but it's really I will not be getting any food today, but I did take a sip margaritas, sparkling coconut margarita to go because I would like to try it later. If you haven't been here at this place is honestly great however, right now there's a little bit lack of parking due to the very large baby shower party inside; I'm not sure if you can park at the parking lot across the street because they do have towing signs, but it is a really nice location when you can find a place to sit.

Just a FYI, if you do not like spicy food you might want to be cautious when ordering. I love spicy food, so the jambalaya is what I ordered. Definitely had good flavor, but left me with a tingling mouth. The jambalaya has served with pulled pork, pulled chicken, and andouille sausage. Not much pork in mine, but plenty of sausage and chicken. We also tried out the Po' fries, which is their seasoned curly fries with 12hr roast pork poured on top. Made the fries soggy instantly, but the flavors were yummy.

Storytime: a husband wanted to open a BBQ joint. His wife wanted to open a gourmet donut shop…read more So, they did what all great visionaries do: they combined the two and created Smoke & Donuts here in Orlando. Friends, this place is proof that compromise can be beautiful. Sweet meets spicy meets (meats?) savory. Every bite felt like someone dared a pitmaster and a pastry chef to create the ultimate brunch, and somehow they pulled it off. The only drawback? Ventilation. It's stuffy inside. Plan on smelling like a smoky glazed donut the rest of the day. PS. If anyone wants to bring this concept to KC, I'd like to be considered an early investor. Or at the very least, a highly enthusiastic taste tester. Holy hell. Brunch of champions.

The restaurant is cute and vibey. Reminds me of Austin, Tx a lot since there were many places like…read morethis one. It brought me back a great memory and the ambiance in general was nice. Parking wasn't an issue either. As I walked in, I was greeted by who seemed to be the owner and a young woman. Very nice, lovely staff. Everyone was so sweet. My only issue was that they didn't have a good portion of their menu ready and it's mostly because they didn't have the gravy for their dishes. The ones we wanted came with gravy and the staff let us know they were behind on making it. So we pivoted and tried their prime rib smash burger but unfortunately that felt a little disappointing. For the price that it was, you'd think that you'd get a decently portioned burger or some sides with it but it was super tiny. And the bun felt like grocery bread, the type you can get for a home bbq. It was still delicious but rather disappointing at the same time. We ended up having to order a third dish just to feel satisfied and at least it was very good. The bowls are worth it, maybe not the burger but the bowls for sure! I also snagged up a donut and truthfully that is one of the best donuts I've ever had. Another downside to this spot and why I didn't give it a 4 star is because how slow the service was. We watched a whole family get up and leave because it was taking so long, I actually felt bad for the staff and owner. The place has great tasting food, just needs a little shaping up. Maybe someone who can run the kitchen as a head chef. Overall, I still recommend the place but just know that you'll be waiting a while and some things may not be available.

Be sure to…read morecheck out the Daily City's calendar on their website and FaceBook page for dates, since this is an ongoing, repeat activity. The trucks change out pretty frequently, so check out the participant listing, too!! This is a great way to get a taste of Orlando all in one place. There are about 15 - 20 trucks on average, at each event. Personal faves include La Empanda and pretty much any truck that has sweets. We just tried the Cake truck (I'm drawing a complete blank on the name - I'll circle back with an update on that) and the Hot Fudge Sundae cupcake was ridiculously good! They block off a good section of parking lot for this event, so there is plenty of space to bring folding chairs and a small table (recommend this actually). At the very least, bring some sports chairs with cup holders. The lines can get pretty hefty on some of the days, so try to arrive early and hop in line at your faves to ensure you get what you are looking for to eat. We like to divide and concur. He'll go to one truck and I'll wait at another, and we'll regroup at a chosen place. This works well on busy days. Overall: A A fun event, family / pet friendly, and plenty o' food to nom on!

I ordered the 3-piece chicken tender meal. It comes with fries, a piece of buttered grilled toast, and a few different dipping sauce choices. I went with the Nashville Hot sauce. It wasn't too long after ordering that our meals were ready for pick-up. The tenders were very big and had a nice thick coating on them. They tasted amazing dipped in the Nashville Hot sauce. The fries were delicious, too. They had some kind of coating on them as well, giving them some texture. Everything was fresh and hot. Their prices were pretty reasonable as well. I hope they stay that way. I don't have anything negative to say about my first experience with Cluckerz. I hope to see them at other events because I'll definitely order from them again!

While I was a little slow to hop on the Smash Burger bandwagon, I am so glad I finally caught up, because wow! And Irregular Smash has really cornered the market on their smash burger selections. With them setting shop just outside the Ivanhoe Brewery parking lot, the owners got to know quite a few of us because our social tennis league (Tennis on Tap) would meet every Tuesday evening for our seasonal matches. This meant we were no strangers at Irregular Smash. By the time they left, which was a couple of months ago now, my teammates and I had tried nearly everything on their menu, and not one thing we tried was bad. The quality of food their team provided was exceptional. Everything tasted amazing. They were awesome and always just fun and supportive of our tennis trials and tribulations. I also loved that they got to learn our names, too. Made the experience of patronizing their business even more special. Price points were reasonable as well. If you don't eat meat, they also offer an Impossible Smash Burger option - great for the vegan folks (like my mom)! I was a regular patron of their OG Smash and Truffle Attack Fries. I am definitely sad to see them leave the parking lot of Ivanhoe Brewery, but I am happy to know they will be coordinating pop-ups all throughout the Orlando and surrounding areas in the coming days. I look forward to seeing how they grow, and maybe one day they will have their own brick-and-mortar. Until then, I'll be on the lookout via their social media account for where they'll be next because they made a lifetime fan out of me.

Irregular Smash is the resident food truck at Ivanhoe Brewing. What better combination is there…read morethan craft beer and a smash burger?! We did take our food to-go but enjoyed a beer from the brewery while we waited for our food. The staff at Irregular Smash were so kind and had me smiling through our whole process of ordering. Genuinely some really nice people work there! The burgers were SO DANG GOOD. I would absolutely come back here, but I think I would rather eat there because the whole area is a vibe. The Firestarter is a bit spicy so just be aware of that when you order. The Truffle Freak was my absolute favorite!! I am a sl*t for anything that has truffle in it, and their truffle aioli is FANTASTIC. My only piece of advice when visiting here would be to check the events happening at the brewery before going. Sometimes there are markets or events occurring that limit the parking. The events also usually add to the fun environment though!

I landed on ordering the Beatty's Blue's Smash Burger and upgraded to truffle fries (go big or go home!). Everything was fantastic and memorable, even a week or so later writing this review! The burger was perfectly cooked, the toppings were on point, and the fries were decadent and jam packed with truffle flavor. 10/10 food without question. What made it even better? The personable, stellar service. In an area saturated by food trucks, Simmer Down is a stand out. If you are lucky enough to run into or visit Simmer Down, at the bare minimum, get the truffle fries!

We went to Ivanhoe Park Brewing specifically to try out this truck and we're so pleasantly surprised by the casual, charming and inclusive brewery. But the Simmer Down food was the highlight! Service was friendly and they have a pager system so you can grab a beer while you wait for your food. The smash burger on brioche was one of the top five burgers in Orlando for sure. The taco was really next level good. And the churro was sweet and delicious. Only reason I can't give them 5 stars is the fries were soggy and not my favorite. Flavor was good, and they were nice and salty... but just too wet and limp. That said, everything else was amazing and we will be back!

How has this truck not gotten any reviews?? This is, quite possibly the best food I've ever eaten…read morein my life. Thursday is food truck day around here and I'm always excited when the Moto truck is here. All of their food is based on Paratha, a crispy flat bread that is probably directly from heaven. We got dueling pork (one sweet and one savory), brisket Mac and cheese and a Cabernet brisket. I'll be honest that I can't even accurately how good this food is bc I eat it so fast!! The brisket is perfect. PERFECT. I've had brisket that was just too fatty or salty or mushy--this is none of those things. It honestly melts in your mouth. The pork is equally amazing.

They seem to be a permanent fixture to the little food hall. We ordered the Huli Huli chicken bowl with brown rice and the Tempura shrimp bao. The food took about 20 minutes to cook, which sticks, but the biggest issue I had was the bowl was ready about 7 minutes before the bao and sat in the window for that time. Why not tell us so we could enjoy it hot? It sat and was cold by the time I got it. The rice was mushy and taste like boil in a bag junk. It also said it came with pineapple, which I could only find three half nibs in the whole bowl. The bao were pretty good, but so drenched in sauce that we could barely taste the shrimp and accompaniments. The meal was so disappointing I only ate a few bites and couldn't continue. I won't be back.

5 Stars for tasty poke with unconventional options (Poke burger)…read more I've had PokeKai in South Florida once before and opted to try it locally a few weeks ago while enjoying a girl's night in with friends. We saw that they had a BOGO deal on UberEats and both opted to try the Poke Burger with tuna and the krab rangoon. I absolutely devoured the krab rangoons, which luckily kept their signature crispy exterior even though they were delivered and not eaten right at A La Cart. The sauce was tangy and a perfect complement to the homemade creamy krab dip. The Poke burger with tuna was a generous size and consisted of crispy rice buns stuffed with tuna/salmon/ or tofu (we got tuna), kai salad, avocado, eel sauce, sesame seeds, and spicy mayo. It definitely packed a kick, but the avocado kept it from being too spicy for me! The only drawback for me was the crispy rice is on the oily side, but truly this is a huge serving and is really tasty. This is the spot if you're looking for fusion poke options served in bao buns, ceviche, and burger form.
