The Stubborn Mule

“While on a business trip I found this place just a few blocks from my hotel. My co-worker and I were both very pleased with the food. I am a sucker for a good steak and blue cheese. The wedges with the blue cheese and balsamic we're fantastic, steak cooked to perfection. Bruschetta was an excellent starter and I recommend it for my fellow bruschetta lovers out there. I'm not spelling her name right probably but kadesha was our waitress and she was very attentive and friendly. Thank you.”

“The server was polite, kind, and sincere. Very accommodating, and willing to chat. The drinks were well made. The food was so good I called my mom and told her about it. The fries were perfect. ORDER THE CHOCOLATE CAKE OR THE BREAD PUDDING. The meal was made even better when two kind ladies at the table behind me made conversation and we shared dessert.”

“Found this place for Sunday brunch and decided to give it a try. We were so impressed from the minute we walked in the door. Everyone was smiling, happy and helpful! We did place a reservation, which I recommend. I also recommend reserving outside seating, weather permitting as it does get a bit loud inside. We forgot to take a picture of the drinks, Mimosas and Sangria, as well as the pork belly appetizer. So delicious. The burger is too big to eat, but too good to stop eating and the potato wedges stay hot forever. How is that? Short Rib Hash is amazing. Also too much to eat in one sitting! Next time I am in Orlando on a Sunday, I'll be here!”

“The Stubborn Mule is a fantastic spot in Orlando for elevated American cuisine, creative cocktails, and a welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're stopping in for Happy Hour, dinner, or drinks with friends, this restaurant consistently delivers a great experience. One of the highlights is their Happy Hour, which offers excellent value with a great selection of food and handcrafted cocktails. It's the perfect place to unwind after work or kick off an evening downtown. The food is just as impressive. The mac & cheese is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, making it an excellent side or even a meal on its own. The smash burger is cooked perfectly with a flavorful, juicy patty, melted cheese, and all the right toppings served on a soft bun. If you're in the mood for barbecue, the ribs are another standout—tender, smoky, and coated in a delicious sauce that complements the meat without overpowering it. Their craft cocktail menu is equally impressive. Whether you prefer a classic drink or something more adventurous, each cocktail is well-balanced, expertly made, and a perfect complement to the food. The service was exceptional from start to finish. The staff was attentive, friendly, and highly knowledgeable about the menu, offering recommendations and making sure every part of the dining experience was enjoyable. Their hospitality truly elevated the meal. The menu offers a diverse selection of American favorites with creative twists, making it easy to find something for everyone. From comfort food to lighter options and an excellent drink selection, there's plenty to explore on every visit.”

“Enjoyed the Bite 30 menu along with some additional mules. All the food was good. Glad I ordered my steak medium rare because it came out medium to medium well. Server never came back to check on food so I ended up eating it. It was still good just not as I ordered. Shrimp app was impressive on size and taste. Some of the best(not good for you) mashed potatoes I’ve ever had. Bread pudding was yummm, Want to come back soon.”
