    Happy to be here (thanks to Cole).
    Pattie M.

    Sometimes it's just takes a kind gesture. Cole (the security guard) noticed my husband was wearing a neck collar and using a walker after a bad accident. He came to our rescue with 2 chairs so he didn't have to stand (which was becoming a problem for him while we waited for a table). Thanks Cole. Tell your momma she did well!

    Main floor. Live band
    Victoria G.

    Atmosphere/music - Five stars Food/Drinks - Zero stars Service - 3 stars Live bands with good music on the first floor. We ended up in the second floor because we wanted food. No view unless you have a railing table. Service was okay. Seemed annoyed and it was so loud it was hard to communicate. Ordered a burger with a beyond patty substitute. The burger comes with 2 patties. I got ONE SUPER THIN patty even though I had to pay a $4 up charge. There were a half a handful of fries that were cold and I also got the Brussels sprouts. Those were Soaked in oil, hard, and had no flavor. They were awful. Super super disappointing and the prices are way higher than they should be even for a bar on the strip. Shots were flavorful but you barely get anything for the price and it's mostly mixers. Went to level 4 which had a DJ. Super fun, more of the party atmosphere. Great mix of music, fresh air, decent views although the side with good views was blocked off. This was the best part but again, no specialty cocktails. Just regular bar drinks that were extremely overpriced and the bartenders were pretty snotty. I get it's busy but you still have to have some customer service (no it had nothing to do with tipping - I had an open tab and my friend and I tip well). Ended up spending $250 on the burger brussel sprouts and a few drinks for me and my friend. Fun experience but probably wouldnt do it again and if I did would definitelyyyy not eat there. Wish I would've snagged a picture of the menu but I didn't. All the menus on Yelp are outdated. I want to say the burgers were $26 for the cheapest and up and the beyond substitute is four dollars. $30 horrible burger.

    Stopped by Ole Red on International Drive on a Saturday night. It was surprisingly pretty quiet for a weekend evening, which made for a laid-back atmosphere but not quite the lively vibe we expected. The drinks were okay -- nothing standout, but decent. The highlight of the night was definitely the band. They did a great job, sounded tight, and brought good energy to the room. If you're looking for live music in the area, it's worth checking out -- hopefully on a busier night for a more upbeat crowd.

    Tania was great ! Food was also very good. came to Orlando to celebrate an 18th birthday and defiantly enjoyed ole red.

    My mother was visiting town and is a fan of Blake Shelton, so why not stop in for dinner. We were already at Icon Park for the Orlando Eye when we heard the country music playing which drew us in. It was around 5pm on a Friday night and the place was not very busy and we were seated right away. The restaurant is a live music venue. It has two floors, large stage in the center of the first floor and a large bar in the back. There is also a gift shop in the front with all sorts of merch and a photo booth where you can take a selfie with the Blake Shelton cardboard cutouts (which of course we had to do). The whole time (besides a few breaks) live music bands are playing. Our server was friendly and attentive. We started out trying one of the cocktails which was not bad and you even got to keep the glass mason jar style cup. Let's get to the food. We ordered the giant BBQ board to split between the two of us and had LOTS of leftovers to bring home. We thought this was the best way to try a little bit of everything. Standouts were the pulled pork and sausage. Plus the cornbread was delicious. The Mac n cheese was so-so. Also the baked beans needed more seasoning. The corn was yummy and the ribs were cooked well. The music was good and had nice energy in the room. Plenty of songs to sing along to.

    I really enjoyed coming here. I came on a Sunday around 1 and they had great live music. It was surprisingly, not too busy so service was fast. The burger and fries were great, but the loaded tattoo is what really did it for me!

    Took over 15 minutes to even get a server after we were sat. Then an additional 15 to get drinks. Food was horrible. Everything was lacking flavor.Burger was rubbery and the only taste you really got was liquid smoke. Should have known better when we didnt smell any smoke walking up to the building or when we walked in. On top of the over priced bad food, if you have a party of 6 or more they automatically add gratuity so you have no choice but to tip 20% for the horrible service

    Band
    Tommy M.

    Never have been here before, but when I walked up the stairs, we came as a group from our company and they had every TV advertising our company which was really cool and very welcoming. Didn't understand exactly what I was looking at because I was like wait a minute that's her logo so that was very impressive. Then as we walked around, they were handing out hors d'oeuvres and the bar was open and there's gaming and we were upstairs because I heard some music that I looked down to see what I'm listening to and there was a live band, which is really really cool. The food was pretty good not five stars or anything, but it was pretty good. I will tell you that this service is absolutely amazing. The place is really awesome. Overall I would say this is a great place to go and hang out dance. Play some games and have some pretty decent food.

    Got seated sooner than expected, host and server with good memory. Adequate food portion. Good place for live music if your ears aren't as sensitive to the volume, 4 stars overall as talented performers won't disappoint.

    Cornbread
    Samantha Q.

    My family and I love Ole Red. Service was great. My niece had a great time learning to line dance to a couple songs. The live music is always so good. I tried the Buckshot Tacos which were yummy. We all shared the cornbread which is so good and I definitely recommend trying.

    This looks like such a cool place. I could never spend long inside as I arrived late. The first night it was closed due to a private party, which is nice that you have that option. We wanted to eat there for a late night snack but the kitchen was already closed so I recommend checking the hours beforehand. Seems to have two tiers...upstairs may be just for dining. Heading back soon and will come earlier.

    Not sure my wife and I are the TARGET AUDIENCE for Ole Red. Located on International Drive in Orlando, this is Blake Shelton's restaurant. He has one in Nashville as well. Our experience in Orlando was ok. First let me say our waitress Julianna was very good. She served with a smile and knew the menu very well as she had many favorites and recommendations. There was live music going on from a local duo and I have to admit the volume was very nice...not real loud which was nice. The prices went from reasonable to expensive but our bill for 2 was manageable. The food was tasty but at the same time just ok. I will say parking was challenging as we had to drive around the block before finding a parking garage. Understand on International Drive you have many options for food. Do your research ahead of time so you are not stuck at a place you will not be happy at

    Is there a dance floor?

    Not when we went but it didn't stop people from dancing by their tables. There is room. Have fun.

    Is there a schedule for live music?

    If you go to the "Orlando" location website, it will provide the month of November, the scheduled artist and time. 😁 Have Fun

    Where is the best parking to dine at Ole red?

    Uber. But if you're driving then park in the parking garage. It's not that bad of a walk!

According to other comments, they do change up the drinks so I would love to try something else.

There were several places to choose from, but this one seemed like a good fit because it wasn't overly loud, and we wanted to be able to hear each other. We initially sat outside, but we were told they had stopped serving the outdoor seating area, so we moved inside. Rather than wait for a server, we decided to order directly from the bar since it seemed like the faster option. There weren't enough seats at the bar for our group of five, so we grabbed a nearby booth. The bartender was friendly, and our drinks were excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. Although people were not coming in, but some people were eating, and enjoying drinks throughout the restaurant, it seemed like the staff had started cleaning up for the night. A server came over, and we explained that we were only there for drinks. After we received our drinks from the bar, he returned and told us that we would soon have to get up so he could clean the table. Seriously? I looked around and saw several other tables where some guests were simply sitting, talking, and enjoying their drinks. They weren't eating either. It made us feel as though, because we had only ordered beverages, we weren't as welcome as everyone else. I chose not to let one person's behavior ruin our evening because I'd rather believe that one employee doesn't represent the entire establishment. In fact, the bartender was great, and the drinks were very well made. What disappointed me was the server's attitude. I wasn't aware that ordering drinks at a restaurant with a full bar wasn't enough to be considered a paying customer, especially when there weren't enough bar stools to accommodate our group. His approach came across as rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Needless to say, we were not going to get up until we had finished out drinks, and we did not. I may return to try the food because the drinks were impressive, but if I ever encounter that same server again, I definitely won't be sitting in his section.
