Very disappointed since every other restaurant in the area I've been to is above average. Got the shrimp tacos and they were bland and the tortillas weren't prepped so they came out like cardboard. Another at the table got a mahi and shrimp Cuban platter and was equally disappointed. Sides were meh. This felt like a cheap road side dinner with premium pricing. I can't say much for the service either. We weren't brought silverware or napkins when the appetizers arrived and had to go fetch them ourselves. I usually wouldn't judge this harshly but I just can't believe how bad things were for what I spent. Most likely won't be back. read more

Great food pretty much across the board. Bang Bang Shrimp Tocos are the best. Wings with homemade blue cheese sauce is fantastic. Ruban, Cuban, and Hamburgers rock! Good, cute, waitress take great care of you. One of my favorite restaurants! read more

Stopped by after a workout enjoyed sitting outside in the great weather. Also, Good energy down town winter garden with people with great holiday music playing. Service was great, patty melt was good, fries Luke warm little soggy not crispy like I had asked. So 4 outta 5 still good and we will be back. read more

Lauren, the waitress, is the rudest server I have ever had. Brought my dogs there as I do weekly in downtown Winter Garden. They are very well behaved. I sat outside under the canopy cover which has ceiling fans due to it being sunny and hot. After food came I politely asked for a bowl of water for my dogs. Lauren said she was going to bring them water but I should not be sitting in the area that was covered, rather in the outside area on the street that has an umbrella but still in the sun with no fans. A week earlier I sat out there as she asked me as several tables were occupied in the covered area. I totally understood that and had zero issues with her request. Today I made it a point to get there right at 11:30 AM when they open so I could beat the lunch crowd. There wasn't one person out there and three tables with a total of ten chairs that were on the other side far from my dogs. Basically, I sat near a two top table but no other tables were affected. I still was going to tip but she never brought water and her attitude got worse. When I got home all my dogs were dehydrated and lethargic even though I had air in car at lowest setting. Luckily they drank a lot of water here at home and seem ok. Sad as I have eaten there frequently and the other wait staff have always been wonderful. In conclusion, food is pretty good, service usually good but Lauren is awful read more

Not for me. It was disappointing on so many levels. But maybe I just lack the sensibility to embrace their flagrant disregard for taste and service. ‍ Do yourself a flavor and skip it. read more

This is a great little hang out in downtown Winter Garden, Florida. The atmosphere is very rustic with cool artifacts all over. They also have a few tables outside. The food was quite good for what they do. They have burgers, wraps, wings and salads. The wings were very tasty. They were crispy with a house made sauce. They are not afraid to make them hot if you ask them for it! They also make their own salad dressings. All in all this is a great little place to grab a beer and/or a bite to eat! read more

Moon Cricket Grille - New American Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

It's a hole in the wall place with tons of beer and wine and some food. We arrived in the middle of the afternoon a little after 3:30pm. The location was pretty empty and finding parking was a little challenging as there wasn't anything available directly in front of the location. Located in the beautiful downtown winter garden area, there are other restaurants and shopping nearby and great walls for instagram shots. My husband ordered the hamburger and found it to be good. The fries were kind of like horseshoes fries but a little thicker. His only comment was that the fries weren't all crispy. I ordered the fuji apple salad and while it was good, it was like eating two different meals. It's served with chicken and shrimp with teriyaki sauce and their house made poppy seed vinaigrette. The teriyaki sauce just didn't go well with the poppyseed vinaigrette so i ended up dunking my salad in the dressing and then eating the chicken separately. Also - the combo of shrimp and chicken together didn't sound appealing to me so I opted for chicken only. Overall, the place is very casual, happy house is from 2-6pm on Monday-Friday with $2 drafts. Good place to get some cheap beer. read more

Excellent service, food and prices. Absolutely love this place. Our favorite in downtown Winter Garden.

Mellow atmosphere in this seat yourself restaurant in the middle of town. There is a small area in the front for live music, a wall of refrigerators filled with ALLLLL kinds of beers (99 of them?), and a good, moderately-priced menu with a a good variety of meal choices. We all ordered the turkey burgers and, for what are generally frozen, pre-made, thin patties, these were large, very flavorful turkey burgers, served with a pickle spear, average tasting fries on a nicely flavored bun. Service was okay, but not particularly attentive nor genuine. read more

This restaurant is a great comfortable spot with a totally amazing menu. The food is really good and the menu full of great starters like Fried Green Tomatoes & a Stuffed Portebello Mushroom. The wraps, burgers are so tasty and the sandwiches like the Cuban & the Reuben are so delicious. They have a bar & great craft beers. The seating is inside & out & outside seating allows you to bring your pet. The staff is friendly & professional & really knows the menu. read more

Food was delicious and a lot for your value. Service was pleasant and quick, will definitely be going back.

Funny little name but really good. Located in the heart of the charming downtown winter garden district you will find Moon Criket grilll. The beans and rice was the best I have had in a long time. It came with the Cuban sub that just wasn't that good. The meat inside the sub was a bit cold but looking back a Cuban sub is probably not what they are special for. The burger ordered was wonderful as the picture suggests. The water tasted a bit funny so I just drank beer which was kind of a put off. Our server was a nice southern girl who was attentive and always had a smile on her face.. I'd return in a heartbeat! read more

Wife got the Bang Bang Shrimp app with potato salad and I got the Steak Hoag sandwich and fries. Shrimp were good size and not to spicy. The potato salad isn't great by our standards, but that is something we are picky about. The sandwich with steak, mushrooms and onions was very good. Little small on the amount on the roll but that seems the new norm now days. I piled it all on half and broke other side of the roll. Fries were good. Overall, the food was very good, nice music playing the background not to loud. They need to clean the menus between customers in my opinion. Server are all wearing masks which is good. No social distancing at the tables or at the bar. Some folks walking in wear a mask and some don't. I cleaned the table surface, salt, pepper and ketchup myself just to be sure every where we go. Some place do some don't can't say here. Enough folks stopping in to have beer so I guessing they most have a good selection and price. Overall, I would recommend stopping in trying the Moon Cricket Grille. Little history the building is from 1912 and started as a grocery store. read more

The wife and I decided to give "Mickey world" a break and visit downtown Winter Garden. While wandering around, when we got hungry, this place caught our eye. Cool diner with outdoor seating, plenty of libations behind the bar and pretty good service. Now I'm no expert, but my favorite place to get a Cuban sandwich is down in Homestead (been there dozens of times)....until now....THIS is my new place to get a Cuban sandwich!!! I don't know what they're doing to it, but, man it was good !! Next time I'm in town, I'm stopping here again. read more

Moon Cricket Grille - Cuban sandwich with fries....outstanding!!! - New American Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Came here today around 5pm for a quick bite. Staff was extremely friendly and the service was extremely quick. The food was absolutely perfect and everything tasted amazing. I would recommend the teriyaki salmon! I am very happy I came here and recommend you do the same. read more

Great Funky restaurant in Winter Garden. Great decor. I ordered Prime Rib beef sandwich with cole slaw, but they also have fries and veggies as sides. My wife ordered salmon salad which she loved. For drinks we had a Arnold Parmer and an ice tea. They also serve 99 different beers and wine and cocktails. We were going to the Theater afterwards so we skipped the beer. Great service by our server. We ordered pie ala mode for dessert. My wife said the pie was store bought but other than that, it was good. read more

I've been here numerous times and have always been pretty good and I hate to ding a place during the Covid thing, but when I sit down outside and it takes 15 minutes to get waited on, thats waaaay to long. Especially when there are more employees working then tables of people being served. Because of the long wait I ordered two drinks. Probably a mistake because I think the server thought I didn't need service for a while after bringing my drinks. When the server finally came back around i ordered some food and asked for ranch, she says "there's a charge for ranch". Really, who charges for ranch these days (didn't get charged, I'm guessing because I questioned it). I've had this server in the past and although not rude, just not really that friendly and very short. Literally just drop and go. Come on MoonCricket your better than this. read more

Favorite place for a great burger and cold beer! Awesome beer selection. Blue cheese burger is my favorite but they are all really awesome. Live music in the weekends too. read more

I'm giving this 5 star for 2 for 1 Thursdays of Sappora! I do enjoy the burgers and friend green tomatos. It's a fun atmosphere, kind of like a cheers bar where everyone knows your name. Nice live entertainment and I enjoy a cold beer outside. read more

What a great local place! The food is amazing-- let me start by saying the burgers are delicious and so juicy... then the shrimp tacos-- they are my favorites.. 3 jumbo shrimp on each small flour tortillas .. absolutely delicious.... I actually go for the Coconut Cram cake-- I love coconut and this is one of the best cakes I've ever had.. moist and creamy! Then there is the first class entertainment.. Tim Neilsen was there last night and he has one of the best voices and plays guitar like Jimmy Hendrix! Not to be missed wherever he plays... We love the Moon Cricket Grille! read more

Buy one get one beers Tuesday and Wednesday! Stopped here for lunch and they have delicious fried shrimp tacos. Their beer selection is superb! Bartender, Amanda, was very welcoming and helpful for this out-of-towner! Nice little spot to stop after walking around the shops read more

Stopped in for a drink and an appetizer-- 99 beers to choose from! Had the champagne mussels in a garlic/wine/butter sauce...amazing!! Perfect location downtown with a quaint inside space and lots of outside seating as well. Great service, our bartender was very friendly. We'll definitely be back! read more

The only thing worse the the food is the service. I understand they are understaffed, but people still pay to eat and support them, they should take it a little more seriously. read more

The Moon Cricket Grille is located in a historic 1912 building. Many call it a restaurant but it is a straight up local beer and wine bar. They have over 99 different bottle beers and will give you a card to keep track of your consumption. The goal being to try all 99 beers in a very casual atmosphere that offers live music and great service. They have a diverse menu of typical bar type food. The food was good. read more

We are here A LOT (AT LEAST once a week). They have had trouble getting people and continue to cut their open hours. I get it. I'll be back. Now they have a limited menu without the things we like to order. I get it. I'll be back. They have new people that are inexperienced. Food not right. Servers not attentive. Servers don't recognize food issues. They are learning. I get it. I'll be back. We supported them by coming MULTIPLE times a week since the reopening after Covid. We missed the buy one get one specials. We anxiously awaited those to come back but kept coming in the meantime to support them (as well as other local businesses). Now the specials are back. Buy one get one specials are tuesday and Thursday. Now they don't open Tuesday's until 4:00. We are more lunch people, generally late lunch. Now we have to arrange our day to make it here later in the day. We came today (Thursday), one of the few days they are open for lunch now and the after a leisurely lunch with some wine and mimosas, we got our bill and learned the BOGO on Thursdays is only for beer. Not all of your regulars are beer drinkers!!!! So after a $100 lunch, we've finally decided that the things we have overlooked have stacked up too much. I think we are going to let this place sort their stuff out for a while and spend my dollars elsewhere that will provide more enjoyment and value than frustration. Plenty of other great places we have been neglecting in Winter Garden in favor of this place. Time to show them some love. I hope you get if fixed soon.... read more

My husband and I LOVE this restaurant and go almost every weekend. The servers are so nice and quick. The food is awesome. This is our favorite restaurant in Winter Garden read more

One of the better restaurants in downtown WG! Great burgers and massive beer selection. Pretty good prices and good service! Nice atmosphere! A must try for downtown WG! read more

I have been twice and both times the food was bland and boring. The burger we got the first time tastes like a McDonald's burger and with how much they charged for it I was expecting so much more. The second time our appetizer was cold by the time we brought it out and our server disappeared. We saw her 4 times the entire time we stayed there and she never came back with our drink refills or extra bbq sauce. And I don't blame her she seemed miserable. Honestly everyone working there seemed miserable. Do not go unless you want to pay just as much money for bad food and poor ambiance. Literally go to any other restaurant in Winter Garden. read more

I heard this restaurant is exclusive for liberals, so i tried it. service is slow, food is okay but not great. I don't recommend if you're hungry. There's a lot of better places to eat in downtown if you're looking for a better dining experience. read more

I love stopping here for lunch. Fast service, great food and a huge variety of beers in the vintage-like downtown Winter Garden. Stop here after doing a little shopping. It's where the locals eat!

I think the people who keep saying you are racist should simply stay away and shutup. To all of you liberal morons who attacked this establishment, your only purpose is to try to hurt this place which has been in Winter Garden for a very long time and doesn't need left wing agitators like you. Great atmosphere, great food, great people. read more

This cozy little bar and grill is wonderful service is great loved our waitress she was friendly and fast always making sure we had anything we could have wanted for our meal... Food is delicious I had the goat cheese spinach and chicken flat bread it has just the right amount of cheese and spinach and chicken to make every bite just as delicious as the first... my Boyfriend had the chicken and artichoke flat bread that he was not a fan of ( but our wonderful waitress quickly changed out for wings ) Owner however is less than desirable... During this visit much like the last time I came here he was no where to be found again ... During this visit I wanted to brag about our waitress and how much better our visit was compared to the last ... My rating is based on the overall experience not just my meal read more

Moon Cricket Grille - All that's left - New American Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

So I keep hearing about moon cricket grilles flatbreads. So I got a chicken and artichoke and even though the crust was very light the rest was too much and very bland. It feels like they were trying to justify charging more than the meal was worth. Our waitress was amazing and was quick with refills and checking on me to see if I was doing ok so the service its self was on point but I would not recommend ordering the chicken and artichoke flatbread. read more

Moon Cricket Grille - New American Near Me - Winter Garden, Florida

Its hard to write a solid review because we didn't stay long. We only ordered a round of drinks and started looking around. It was our first time here and came in to watch some football. As I settled in and started looking around, I just felt very uncomfortable. We were definitely getting looked at and we stuck out (both my husband and I are minority). I started to feel like we weren't welcomed here and when I finally lookd up other reviews it all made sense. The bartender and staff were friendly and nice. I didn't order food because I just wanted to get out of there. I don't think we would come back simply because of how the other patrons were just staring at us with scouls. We decided to leave and spend our money elsewhere where we felt at ease. read more

I tried this spot out recently while I was in the neighborhood. I met a friend for drinks and a quick dinner. I can't say I would hurry back. The bartender was awesome. There was live music. They have woodchuck so that is a plus as well. However, the food... maybe I ordered the wrong thing but it just wasn't good. I went with the Grilled Chicken and Avocado Club Herbed Chicken Breast with Hickory Smoked Bacon, Melted Swiss, Watercress, Ripe Tomato, and Mustard Aioli on Toasted Multi Grain Bread. I can't say I tasted any avocado and the bacon was really minimal. It was a very underwhelming sammie. My friend ordered a pizza and that looked very tasty so like I mentioned, maybe I ordered the wrong thing but it wasn't good in the least. The ambiance is cool, a tavern feel with seating at the bar, inside and outside. Next time I would grab a seat outside and enjoy the Winter Garden area. Maybe a good spot to bring your pup and grab a drink outside. read more

After spending too much on 2 drinks elsewhere, our bartender suggested we try this place for 2 4 1 on all beers. The place was jammin! There wasn't a spot to sit except a small round table for 2- well we took it, and shortly afterwards 4 spots opened at the bar. Linda was great- always having a smile on her face. Everything sounded great on the menu. The guy next to me ordered the fish tacos- comes with 3 good sized tacos- each had its own tilapia filet on it. We finally agreed on 19 medium wings and an order of sweet potato chips w/ Thai sauce. Sadly they were out of the chips. Eh next time. The wings were big and juicy- I was impressed. I would contemplate moving out west to be closer to this area. Downtown Winter Garden has come a long way in 5yrs. See you soon Moon Cricket. read more

Eaten here a few times- the food is greasy and blah- barely any vegetarian options. But the worst part is when you realized you've just patronized a restaurant whose name is a racial slur. Immediately makes you feel sick! Will not visit again as seeing their sign makes me feel ill and lose my appetite. Who wants that to happen when you want to enjoy your meal!!! read more
