The Aardvark,

2610 South Ferncreek Avenue, Orlando, FL 32806

"Finally went down to visit our friend Zachary Downs and have brunch. Officially the BEST chicken and waffles we've ever had! Chicken thigh cooked to perfection and sourdough waffles to die for! The blackend shrimp were also amazing (we asked for "lightly blackened"). New brunch spot for sure; will be back soon!"

"This place deserves 10 stars alone for being the only food grade CO2 refill place in Orlando, but they go out and beyond to make sure your CO2 tank is cold before being refilled, so that you get more liquid gas in the tank (I mean they could've easily refill your tank "as is" and make you run there twice as often, doubling their CO2 refill business income). Their burgers are legit, while service is just simply awesome."

"There were only 2 tables and it took them so long to get to us and never fill our waters or take our order. They took about 40 minutes to tell us they were out of the wine we wanted. The burger was pretty good but the gnocchi was mushy and gross. Pretty disappointing."

"I’m ashamed to say I’ve lived less than a mile away for 5 years and just not tried the Aardvark. The food is delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was fun and upbeat. We came for Sunday brunch and got the hangover sandwich (pictured) and the steak n eggs (pictured) along with bottomless mimosas. First of all, there is a special place in my heart for a restaurant that knows that a mimosa is 99% champagne and 1% juice (we are rounding up here). We got the pineapple mimosa but they also had orange and cranberry as options. I will say, my steak was cooked more medium than medium well but I personally only order medium well at restaurants that aren’t known for their steaks because they usually undercook it so it’s not even worth taking a star away. The breakfast potatoes were seasoned very well. Our server made sure to keep our drinks full and show us pictures of her dogs (always a win for us). I also appreciate that they have a lot of deals on Monday’s for service workers such as Monday brunch, $2 miller lite or yeunglings and $3.50 house wines all day. Definitely recommend."

"Nice casual place, great beer selection. My food was hit or miss. They have a rotating draft selection featuring beers from around Florida and elsewhere. They have a larger selection of beer bottles in the coolers lined up against the wall. I had their southern catfish Benedict with a side of home fries. I also tried the chicken and biscuits two ways and the hush puppies. Unfortunately the biscuits and the home fries were overcooked. The southern Benedict and the hush puppies were great. The staff was very friendly."
