    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.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Live band

    The food is fast to the table and very good. Make sure to get the cornbread skillet...the best! Our server, Alyssa, was great. Grab your boots and stop in for live music and dancing.

    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.

    Bluetick Burger with tots

    My husband and I decided to check out Icon Park today. We decided to have lunch at Blake Shelton's "Ole Red" restaurant. We were seated immediately, our server came over shortly after and took our drink order which was margaritas. When our drinks were served we ordered our lunch. I ordered the Bluetick burger with cheese minus lettuce and done rare with tots. My husband ordered the Boom Smash burger Oklahoma style with fries, he asked done rare but she said it was too hard to do for smash burgers. When our food came out my burger was delicious, so juicy the bottom bun soaked up all the juices. May have been more medium rare vs the rare I ordered but still very satisfying. My husband's smashed burger was ok, his was overcooked for the way he has eaten other smashed burgers. Our drinks were good but were served in little plastic cups which you would expect for the price to be in a glass but they were good drinks. They did have videos playing on a big screen but different music playing in the restaurant, not sure why they don't have the music of the videos playing. We are happy we went and would like to go back to see the live band one evening with dinner.

    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.

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

I've also been to the Tom's Watch Bar locations in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., so it was cool to add Orlando to the list. One thing I immediately appreciated was the parking garage. It made getting there super easy, and from there you can just hop on the elevator up to the rooftop level. This was actually my first rooftop Tom's location, and I really liked the setup. The space is huge, with indoor and outdoor seating, multiple massive bars, and TVs everywhere you look. No matter where you're sitting, you're not missing the game. I will say the rooftop bar is noticeably smaller than the main bar downstairs but still a nice size. I got there about 20 minutes before the game started, and at first it wasn't filling up too quickly. But not long after, it was completely full with more people still coming in, so the energy definitely built up fast. Since I was there solo, I had no trouble finding a seat and even squeezed in with a friendly group that had extra chairs. If you're planning to come for a playoff game or another major sporting event with a group, I'd definitely recommend arriving early or making a reservation because I can easily see this place filling up fast. For food, I ordered the buffalo chicken tenders. They were good, solid sports bar food but nothing particularly memorable. The drinks were great, and the service kept everything moving despite how busy it was. The energy in the room was palpable, and everyone was completely locked into the game. I honestly felt like I had stumbled into a Knicks watch party because there were Knicks fans everywhere! I had no idea Orlando had that many New York transplants, but they definitely showed up. If you're looking for a place to watch a big game, this is absolutely somewhere I'd recommend. Great energy, plenty of screens, good drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you're part of the action. I'd definitely come back.

It sends you text updates, and the technology is actually pretty cool. It can tell when you're not close enough yet and will tell you to check in once you're closer to the restaurant. There were 6 of us in the group, so reserving ahead definitely helped. I actually had to do it twice because we reserved our spot before we left, and by the time we got there, it had timed out. I checked in again, and when we arrived, the host said, "I see you checked in twice." He told us the wait would probably be about 10 minutes, and we ended up waiting less than that before being seated. Considering it's at Icon Park and it was the night of a game, the place was packed with a lot of hustle and bustle. I was impressed that we were seated so quickly, especially with a party of 6. Our waiter, Matt, was amazing, and the food was amazing too. We ordered what felt like almost every appetizer on the menu. We had the Cali Roll Stack, Parmesan truffle fries, crispy Brussels sprouts, spinach dip, and the vegan Gardein wings. The Cali Roll Stack was probably my favorite appetizer. It was so good, and it was made with real crab. Most places use imitation crab, and Matt even told us that's why it's his favorite appetizer too. He was absolutely right. The Gardein wings were surprisingly good. We ordered the Korean chili garlic and Buffalo flavors, and if nobody had told me they were vegan, I probably wouldn't have known. I'd never had a soy-based wing before, but I would definitely order them again. The Parmesan truffle fries were exactly what you want them to be, and the crispy Brussels sprouts disappeared fast. At that point, it seemed like everyone else was tapped out, but somehow we still had room to eat. We ordered the lobster garlic noodles, and they were amazing. They didn't skimp on the lobster either. There were big chunks of real lobster throughout the dish, along with spinach and garlic noodles. Definitely one of my favorite entrées of the night. I also tried the Key Lime Cider, and I liked that they let me sample it before ordering. It ended up being really refreshing and exactly what I was looking for. For dessert, we shared the brownie cookie topped with ice cream. Oh my God. I don't even like chocolate like that, and it was amazing. Yard House has never really disappointed me, but this visit was especially good. I don't know if we were just starving or if the chef was having an exceptional night, but kudos and hats off to the kitchen. Parking was easy too. Levels 3 and 4 of the garage were free, so there was no need to pay or get anything validated. Overall, everything was smooth from start to finish. Great service, great food, easy parking, and a surprisingly short wait despite how busy it was. 10/10, highly recommend.
