Dexter’s

Can we loud but the food and atmosphere are great! I take my grandkids there when we visit and we are never disappointed.

Pretty good food, sometimes crazy.
I’ve been to this location several times over the last few years, most recently over the weekend. The food is pretty good (great burgers). Dexter’s can become loud and chaotic (and not in a good way) at times, but some of the crowd seems to enjoy it, while others appear noticeably annoyed. Service could be better for the price, but the location is great.

I go there often because it’s close to work. Tried a few options in their menu so far, and they’ve bee mostly good for the price.
Btw, the sweet potato Fries here is great.

The waitress was very nice and we got our food quickly but the breakfast plate at Dexter’s leaves much to be desired. It was basically three items: stale toast, super fatty bacon, and buffet style scrambled eggs. Not a great value for $ 9. On the positive side, my son really liked the $ 5 Kids’ Turkey, Cheese and Fruit.

Hadn’t been for years and now I remember why. The hostess was unfriendly and the wait staff is indifferent. Just walked out because we waited at our table for a good 10 minutes without even being acknowledged. The food is generally fine, but it doesn’t make up for the rude service.

hmm… I’m really surprised I didn’t have a review here considering I’ve gone here for years and even had my rehearsal dinner here (been married over 10 years) Dexters\‘s in Winter Park consistently nails it. Terrific food and drinks and ambiance. They have some staples on the menu but there is enough variety from the chefs that something new is always «cookin’» I love the eggplant parm, the cha cha chips, the skillet salad is my go to. I love the veggie sandwich. I could go on. Love it for brunch too. They make the best bloody marys and bloody shames you could want. They do eggs bene perfect. Okay. you can tell I’m a huge fan. Check it out you won’t be disappointed. :-)

Went here on a date with my wife. I love that it is in Hannibal Square so it’s off the busyness of Park Ave. Eating outside was pleasant as well. Servers were nice and helpful.
The food was pretty good but it’s kind of expensive for sandwiches (it is Winter Park) and the restaurant felt a little dirty. It’s was a nice experience but it would be low on my list to return to.

I’d really give this place 3.5 stars. Dexters has a great price point, especially for Park Ave. Their food is yummy too. The service was luke warm. I came here for Sunday brunch. Three dollar Mimosas and four dollar Bloody Marys? Yes, please. I got the pesto pasta. It was a creamy, heavy pasta dish filled with flavor. I tried my friend’s French Dip and it was great too. The place was busy! The restaurant looked a bit worn down and dirty– probably not that noticeable to most people but the atmosphere wasn’t anything special. I’d come here for the price and deliciousness of their food but would go somewhere else if I want a nice atmosphere. Or id eat outside if there was a spot available!

Went for $ 1 burger night (Tuesday Nights).
The burger and lettuce is $ 1, but toppings are .50 to .75 cents each. The burger was fine. A bit on the dry side. It could have been better if the burger was cooked to medium.
The drinks are a bit pricey. The BF and I ended up with a $ 30 bill, between the 4 burgers we ordered, his two whiskey sodas, and my one beer.
I’d go again, and I’ll make sure to tell the waitress to cook my burger to medium rather than their standard.

We come here just about every Sunday for brunch. Absolutely love this place. Food is always good and the staff is always friendly.

I love this place for Sunday brunch! Great environment and great food.

Just had my 4^th and final visit to the Windemere location, food and wine were delicious but the service, the ever expanding birthday party next to our table to about 50 people, and then the constant feedback on the bands sound equipment was enough for me. Bottle of wine was great and even received glasses to drink it, appetizers arrived but no silverware for 12 minutes after asking 5 different people finally given 2 forks, however we shared the chopsticks from the tuna pote til forks arrived, ok now group next to us were standing around our table and used our table of 2 to place their drinks, put down their plates, even moving our wine bottle to accommodate their glasses during selfies. Manager and Wait Staff did and said nothing !! I was very disappointed and the management needs to address this

GO FOR BRUNCHES! Wow I’m totally satisized and this has been my favorite food experience since discovering four rivers for the first time. It was really busy but I got a chance to sit in the corner and really focus on the food. Besides that, the vibe is alright, cool art, open space but a lot of people. I ordered the blt with two eggs in it, and woah was it fantastic. I was super hungry so I also ordered biscuit and gravy since the lovely waitress suggested it. It was alright to be honest I thought it was gonna b better. But the sandwich and soup it came with were bomb. My gf had a dish that had potato cakes and those were really great. Fried crispy delights. Since it was a birthday weekend we decided we should indulge. So we went for the apple bread pudding with ice cream. Ridiculous!!! Best desert I had in a looong time. Went perfectly after all the salty bacon: p the five star rating comes from the overall portion to price ratio, presentation, awesome service and amazing taste and satisfaction level. Definitely coming back!

They have a great happy hour! They also do $ 1 burger night on Tuesdays which is pretty awesome! Plus you can’t miss their cha cha chips!

4 stars for a tasty Sunday brunch and good location.
I was invited to Sunday brunch at Dexters with friends, I had been here before for lunch, but never for brunch. And word on the street is their brunch is pretty good but can also be crowded. Luckily, someone in our party had made reservations, so we didn’t wait at all.
I ordered the Dexter’s Eggs Benedict, which is 2 poached eggs with turkey, spinach, tomato on french bread with holandaise. Also served with fruit and potato cakes. It was delish! And also happy to note that the fresh fruit was mostly pineapple… a refreshing change to what some restaurants call ‘fresh fruit’… ahem apples/​grapes. The potato cakes were tasty as well and I believe they had some dill added to flavor them, yum!
We also ordered 2 sets of banana bread for the table, unfortunately this came out minutes before our meals did, so we really didn’t get to enjoy it. I also thought the banana bread was overpriced for 3 small slices for $ 6.
Our table also ordered a variety of brunch drinks. Also take note they have single and double mimosas. And I would say it pays to get the double.
All in all, my meal was tasty and the service was good. I would recommend getting there before 10:30am to get a good seat, because after that it gets pretty crowded.

A great no hassle place for brunch! Get a reservation because it can sometimes get crowded. Amazing mimosas-​they offer a single and a double, but the double is more bang for your buck.
They have a unique breakfast menu. I ordered the breakfast flatbread, which came as expected and delicious. FYI there is no bottomless special here.

I went on Tuesday night for dollar burgers which was great. Unfortunately, they didn’t have many of the beers requested due to something being frozen over (can’t remember exactly what our server said). Clientele was an older crowd. Overall, it was just okay, nothing out of this world.

Food and service was great !
However, i was disappointed in the condition of ladies room. Floors dirty, walls needing paint.

I find that this is an interesting and not so costly place for happy hour fun. Spent 8 hours there recently and they did not kick our group out. That makes them overtly friendly and tolerant. On many days you will find business radio personality Rich Jaeckle holding court at the bar. Say hello if you see him there. He might even ask you to be on his show, if you are and Orlando area entrepreneur.

I went for their Terrific Tuesday Dexter’s Dollar Burger (toppings are extra) Five till Close Great Grub Tasty Value Special! If that wasn’t GREAT enough they have Super Duper Happy Attentive Servers! I’m looking forward to going again! Two burgers were enough for me to be happy and full!

Can’t go wrong!!! Love the atmosphere, food, live music and staff. Friendly welcomed at the door and great service throughout all my dining experiences at Dexter’s always.

Shrimp Tacos were delicious, however, that were not equally proportionate. One taco was mostly emtpy as you can see in my photo. I was expecting the salsa to be slightly smaller chunks, and due to size they kept jumping off my tacos. While the presentation was beautiful, I felt it was slightly unpracticle. Food was falling off of my tavos and bouncing off of the plate onto the table, which less appetizing. Despite these minor flaws, I would order the tacos again.
Also, just OCD but the specials signs above the bar are difficult to read, and the crookedness of the writing dodnt help, was actually distracting.

Came here for a paint night event. Was neglected by the server, a lady named Angel, the entire time. She was very attentive to the people ordering alcoholic beverages but pretty much ignored my group, who were younger and ordering sodas, the entire time unless we got her attention.
Was charged for a drink I didn’t order.
Ordered the chips and dips appetizer. The salsa and queso were good, the guacamole tasted rancid, like it’d been made with rotten tomatoes.
Maybe they’re good regularly, but this being my first experience, I will not be going back.

I have visited this restaurant in Hannibal Square many times and have never been disappointed. This visit was as great as the others.
I came for lunch with 2 New clients and was early, but the restaurant let me spot at the bar and shop a glass of wine while they opened and prepared food the Day. The staff was all very nice, attentive and courteous, especially Cameron at the bar and my server, Brian Q.
The restaurant is very gluten free friendly and added that nearly everything on the menu could be adapted to be gluten free, if it wasn’t already.
I had the Mahi special of the Day, as did one of my guests and it was fantastic! My other first had the Cuban bowl and it was equally delicious.
The service here and the food are excellent, I highly recommend out for lunch, dinner or drinks. Ask for Brian Q. for a server if he available

Great location. Normally initial service is timely but I feel it was possible not the waitress fault. No communication from the host that we were outside waiting. Several tables that came in afterwards were served and food on its way before. Actually had to let the front area know after 15 minutes our table had not been acknowledged with any service besides being seated. (outside) I will still give 4 stars but not a 5 based on the wait to be acknowledged at the table once seated. The waitress was attentive afterwards and apologized for the wait. Food was great the Sloppy Mess and in the end food quality and service by the waitress was attentive once service actually started.
Cons– Communication with hostess and waitress/​staff needs to be better. A consumer should not have to wait 15– 20 minutes to be acknowledged. More like less than 5 minutes. For a minute I thought I was being ignored as I attempted to get attention of other wait staff but never the less they went the other way as tried to get there attention. I was in a middle table between two table on each side of me. Other waitresses serving others should have came over and asked if we were being helped.
Pros– Waitress once realized she had a table outside was attentive and sincerely apologized. Mimosas (Mango orange was very good) The Sloppy Mess was very flavorful. Glad I ended up staying as I contemplated to just leave. Food quality was very good and prices reasonable and outside atmosphere not to loud.

I hate to give Dexter’s 2 stars but my last visit was very subpar. I know Sunday Brunch can be nuts– but Dexters has been around for awhile and shouldn’t get hung up on the Sunday Winter Park Crowd. They should also be able to handle large parties better.
We had a one server, but several runners. It took about 15 minutes to get my coffee because they were out of cups. There were empty chairs in the restaurant, so to run out of cups seemed ridiculous to me. They tried to plate 3 of us before realizing that the food they brought out was for another table.
The mimosas are great, and most of the food is too. I ordered the BLT and it was adequate. I didn’t get to taste the soup on the side because my server never brought me a spoon, and I asked several times.
I go back every year, so hopefully next it will be an improvement!

This was my first time at Dexters. It is located in Winter Park and on Sundays it can get very busy. I went for brunch with a couple of my friends.
Make sure you make a reservation if you are going on a Sunday because again it is very busy and without a reservation you may have to wait a bit longer.
We had reservation so we got a table pretty quick.
Our server quickly took our drink order, we all got the mango mimosa and it was delicious. The service was very good. Our server recommended several items on the menu that he really liked.
My friend ordered Cha Cha chips which are half sweet potato chips and half potato chips with 2 amazing dips (really tasty).
I tried the Hot Mess which consist of a biscuit, fried chicken and gravy.
The fried chicken was very tasty and and i loved the texture and the flavor of the gravy.
I will have to come on Tuesdays because they have $ 1.00 burgers and to be honest the place is nice and the service we received was great.

This place is pretty good. We stopped here for lunch on my last day in Orlando. We were greeted and sat outside (our choice) since it was a nice day out.
Our server was very nice and took our drink order. I got the Bloody Mary spicy and it was delicious. I ordered the Parmesan shells with chicken for my lunch. It was ok, it wasnt very hot but it was tasty. Everyone else at the table seemed to like their food.
We finished our meal and were presented the check. Everything overall was good but not dying to return here on my next visit.

Must be said first– Tuesdays. $ 1 Burgers. Do it.
This is a good, dependable spot for brunch outside, or a midday lunch meeting. Mimosas flow like water on Sundays and the crowd is dependably Winter Park (which makes for great people watching sometimes!). The location is a huge plus as it’s a hop, skip, and a jump away from the Winter Park Farmers’ Market (Saturdays) and it has great window shopping, brick streets, and ample free parking (a true luxury in WP!).
A few times the service has been iffy and the last time I brought someone for a lunch meeting they asked for the quesadilla without some minor ingredient and the server said that they come premade. This was pretty shocking… A quesadilla may be THE easiest thing to make and this one couldn’t be altered in any way because they bought them premade? I hope he was mistaken because it made me wonder about the rest of the menu…
I’ll ask again next time to verify and I’ll write an update. In the meantime– get some $ 1 burgers!
