• Southern • I Drive / Sand Lake

A Modern Approach to Southern-Inspired CuisineAside from the classic cocktail, a highball is a train conductor’s signal to depart at full speed. It was how Central Florida’s abundant harvests moved from field to table, an iconic symbol of the region’s agricultural might. Highball & Harvest (H&H) pays homage to this legacy, with menus laden with ingredients from local farms, as well as our own green-growing efforts. We pluck fresh produce from our on-site 7,000- square-foot garden at Whisper Creek Farm. Handcrafted cocktails are infused with seasonal fruits and herbs, and create a culinary adventure that is as inspiring as it is memorable.Valet parking is available and will be validated in the restaurant

Mrs Potato's unique concept and great flavors quickly became a success in 2015 when it was featured on Fox35. As business continued to grow, it attracted more and more locals becoming a “hole in the wall”. National recognition came in May 2017. We were featured on Foodnetwork. Guy Fieri was blown away by the simplistic, yet explosive flavors this little joint had to offer. Since then, it has won many awards, and has been well reviewed by the most respectable food critics and bloggers from all central Florida and the US. If the idea of having a delicious and satisfying comfort meal, in an inviting Mom and Pop atmosphere suits you, Mrs Potato is the place to go. Meals here are huge, full of flavor, made with love and served with pride.

Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

    It was super fun! I ordered the birria quesadillas and they were PHENOMENAL!! IT is definitely PRICEY, and i don’t think it’s worth all the money you pay, but the drinks were good, but i would only come here if you’re looking to spend at LEAST $50

    We love this place. That’s why we keep coming back. It’s always amazing. Nara was awesome, first time we have had her as a server and you know what I’ll ask for her by name next time she’s just so fun and so bubbly she just made our whole experience incredible so I’m really appreciative of that. I get it sometimes having two people versus having a table of 20 might seemlike not worth it because of the money but she made us feel valued, even though we weren’t such a large party, and didn’t ignore us for the large party! Little things like that are very appreciated, and I hope it reflected in my tip

    We had a great time! Food was great and presented well. I just think it’s a little too bright in the room. A little dimmer would be nice.
