The Stubborn Mule: Reviews & Ratings

Nice spot near downtown town with mostly street parking. Service was great and food was tasteful. Had the mussles, buchetta and Korean ribs as appetizers and a salmon salad as the main meal. The mule signature drink was good but watered down (lots of ice). Would definitely return again. Also very affordable. Dinner for 2 was $72

The team and cooks are Amazing! The food was delicious. I had the smash burger with no bun and side salad with their own cilantro dressing! My wife had the Philly cheese steak with sweet potato tots! We are visiting from out of state and look up local restaurants no chains in ChatGpt and this was one on the list! Highly recommend!

Stopped in for brunch after a nice stroll along Lake Eola. The house cold brew espresso martini was exceptional. Enjoyed chorizo hash burrito bowl and shrimp and grits. Attentive service and pleasant atmosphere.

Nice staff, delicious food, nice atmosphere. We did all apps and split it, making it about $12 per person split 3 ways. (Would have been cheaper if it was split 4 ways, but we owed a friend money so we split it 3) All 3 dishes eaten in the same sitting was perfect! -Pretzel -Salmon Cakes -Pork Belly

Seen this on Tiktok & I'm happy I did. Food was amazing. Literally everything ordered was good. Wait time was like 20 mins so I recommend making a reservation. Only thing I didn't like was the parking and they acted as if they didn't have plastic ware until I had to tell them I have a nickel allergy. Definitely recommend going here because I will be back.

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!
