    Chicken Boneless Strips
    Reginald H.

    This place is the food you keep coming back for. I've been twice in the last week. The menu has variety but not so much as to cause you indecision. The staff is absolutely amazing. Your food is cooked to order and everything comes out to perfection. The location reminds me of the diner that in HIMYM's episode with the perfect burger. That's ironic because it's the reason I popped in here for the first time. After seeing several people have a burger one night, it became a much needed experience for me. The burger came out delicious. You have to add the house sauce to it. You won't regret it. The tenders are so crispy but maintain all their juiciness as well. As I write this review, I'm seriously considering going back for one or both. Nonetheless, go give it a try. There is an added bonus that the bar next door allows you to eat your food there and have a beverage or two.

    The cheeseburger was $12something. It came with fries. I asked for ketchup for my fries. He said you'll get everything. The ketchup was in 1 small pouch for the burger, and 1 dip pouch for the fries, which I had to use some for the burger. The burger was average, thin smash burger type. Can only get it well done because thin. Cheese was average American cheese. Fries were odd shaped but tasty, very little, not very much. I ordered & received a cup of water. Order at the counter & they'll bring it out to you when ready. No napkins. I tipped a dollar when I paid. I don't know if I would've received a napkin had I tipped more. It's quiet outside, a good location. They get busy during sports events. I didn't see any TVs outside.

    Yikes. This was just a bad experience from start to finish. Parking is not that easy, but go down any of the side streets and look for sports that are marked. We walked into the restaurant and staff were immediately rude to us. We also were given exactly 15 seconds to look at the menu before the server asked us what we wanted. We ordered some burgers and tenders, but unfortunately the tenders are terrible. These are pre-frozen chicken tenders that taste like what you would get at a school cafeteria. They are also heavily salted at the restaurant. I will give props to their crispy potato wedge fries. These were actually pretty good. I had asked for a side of a specific sauce, and when I got my meal, it was not there. I then went inside to ask, and they told me that they don't even have that sauce. This would've been good to know when they said they would get me at after I placed the order. Seating is also bad. They have limited outdoor seating, however, they have very interesting people that can walk up and down the area and disrupt your meal. In the end, this is not a place that I can recommend at all due to the extremely poor service and rude staff, terrible food, and overall a very off vibe.

    Lightning wings

    You could call this place a hidden gem but if you were in the Thorton Park or downtown Orlando area, you probably know about this place. Wings are expensive but I'm glad the lightning flavored wings hit on flavor. I also tried the Pot Roast Heater. Don't worry about it being spicy because it was not but it was great with flavor and the amount of meat. I sat inside Burtons bar and they were able to bring the food right over to me. The inside of the restaurant is small but you were able to eat outside. The prices are fair so I have no problem. Check this place out again.

    Love that place is connected to Burton's and that they bring you food to your table at the bar/ outside the bar. Went last night to watch the Super Bowl and got a table outside on their faux patio extension between the sidewalk and the road. Saw the neon sign "Ice Cream Solves Everything" but first wanted to start with food. Eyeing the menu, I originally wanted to get a Beer Bratwurst, cause I love a good brat. But on the menu, their Bratty Melt (basically a patty melt with a sausage bratwurst patty) caught my attention. When asking the cook at the counter who took my order, he said that it was his favorite thing on the menu. And boy, did it not disappoint. The perfection of the crispy rye bread, the sauerkraut/ mustard ratio, the perfectly cooked sausage meat. When I tell you, I'm still thinking about that sandwich. Their french fries were fun, ear shaped that you don't see too often, very comparable to a less dense potato wedge. I'm actively trying to figure out when I'll return next, as I did not sadly get an ice cream sandwich to solve everything... yet.

    Walked over here from the bar Burton's didn't even know they had food I came over. Here was slightly intoxicated. Had 3 to 4 beers they were IPAs, but this food was hands-down the best drunk food I've ever had, the only thing that I think you compete is gringos downtown for Orlando place but that place is now considered poop to me. If I'm coming out to eat late night and anywhere in Orlando, I'm gonna make a pitstop at the classic.

    Good food that comes out quick, now that's a win-win. It's even better when there's something for everyone. Plenty of choices for my veggie friends makes life easier. No need for endless menu scrolling or substitutions here. Just good vibes, tasty bites, and happy tummies all around.

    Single Cheeseburger with cheddar cheese (lettuce, tomato and onion)
    Shalay R.

    I had heard so much about this place and was really looking forward to trying it. I was really craving wings and heard that the wings were really good so decided to give it a try. Also ordered a burger and fries so I can get a feel of the food. The burger was good. The fries were tasty. I also saw that the restaurant offered a fish and shrimp meal that I really wanted to try but unfortunately it was only offered on certain days of the week. I inquired if it would be possible to try it today and luckily the restaurant had the ingredients in stock and was able to accommodate my request. So happy that the staff was able to assist so I could try the seafood. The seafood platter was the meal I enjoyed the most and was delicious. After hearing so much about the chicken wings I figured the chicken wings would be my favorite. The wings were breaded and fried and were lightly sauced. I prefer non breaded and really saucy wings. I'm not sure if the restaurant offers non breaded wings but think that I would have enjoyed them more if they were non breaded and had more sauce on them. The restaurant is definitely off the beaten path and more so well known by locals. It's a smaller restaurant with both indoor and outdoor dining options. The restaurant is also split into two parts one section for dine in and the other section for pickup for those placing takeout orders.

    The Classic- Thornton Park 805 E Washington Street, Orlando, Florida, 32801 FOOD TO WARM YOUR BELLIES! A PLACE TO WARM YOUR HEARTS! With a passion for service, smiles & satisfaction, The Classic in Thorton Park Orlando are never tired of saying no! The staff fulfill their concept of a true service first "Front of House" approach and bring it into the Kitchen and from that you have " The Classic". I had the pleasure of visiting this place as I was going to another event in Orlando. The staff were great in attending me. I tried out some of thier best sellers and boy was I satisfied with thier food. First off, the milkshakes are a must. I tried thier Root Beer one and it was amazing. The Pretzels Bites and the Chesse Curds are great side snacks with your entrée. Thier Chicken Wings are saucy. Thier Burgers are phenomenal. Mouthwatering and delicious .

    Wings
    Alyssa W.

    Great wings! I never order wings when I go out to eat but my friend recommended this spot and said their wings are great and she was right! Their homemade ranch is different from your average ranch, I think it has more dill in it and it's really thick but I enjoyed it. The pretzel bites and cheese was interesting, I wasn't expecting the cheese to be cold but it wasn't bad. I also love that you can order here, take a number and go to the bar next door and they will bring the food to you at the bar. I'll be back :)

We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

For a simple meal for two people, the service was unreasonably slow throughout the evening. Our server, Svet, was polite and personable, but friendliness alone could not make up for the delays. The hummus appetizer was excellent and was easily the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful and served with pita, cucumbers, carrots, and red peppers. The food presentation overall was attractive and showed promise. The most serious issue occurred when my son ordered a refill of his virgin mojito and was served a drink containing alcohol. He immediately noticed something was wrong after taking a sip and handed it to me. I tasted it as well and confirmed that it contained alcohol. Serving alcohol in a child's drink is a significant mistake and should never happen. We also ordered the steak frites based on a recommendation and were told it was exceptional. Unfortunately, the steak was extremely tough and chewy, making it difficult to eat and far from what was described. Management apologized and removed the steak from the bill, but the combination of excessive wait times, the alcohol mix-up involving a minor, and the disappointing entrée left a poor overall impression.
