Everyone has heard that Yelp can make or break a business — there’s something about the review app that seems to bring out users’ most passionate feelings. And even though all of us have snickered at a particularly fiery roast, it’s the happy four- and five-star reviews that are most useful when you’re looking to crowdsource your dinner resy. Combining both the MOST reviews and the BEST reviews, here’s a list of Orlando’s 25 highest-recommended restaurants according to Yelp users.

Se7en Bites  617 N. Primrose Drive, 407-203-0727 4.5 stars, 1653 reviews “First time dining here. Staff was very welcoming. Enjoyed a grilled pimento cheese and bacon on sourdough and for dessert I shared a delicious coconut cream pie. Food was plentiful. Oh and loved the soft drink selections.” –Scott P.
Café Tu Tu Tango 8625 International Drive, 407-248-2222 4.5 stars, 2510 reviews “What a fun place! Tapas style food in a quirky funky artsy space! Our server recommended 3 items per person, which was more than enough food and gave us wonderful variety. There was a working artist behind the host station, and a tv screen playing Bob Ross on the wall. Just a fun place to be.” –Rachel C. Photo via Café Tu Tu Tango
Pig Floyd’s Urban Barbakoa 1326 N. Mills Ave., 407-203-0866 4.5 stars, 1636 reviews “Funny story: the best part about Pig Floyd’s isn’t the bbq which seems to be what everyone gravitates towards. It’s actually the tacos. Yep, the tacos are melt in your mouth, panty dropping deliciousness. The butter chicken melts in your mouth and swirls the best flavors together and the shrimp tacos are also always made to perfection. Add on that it’s locally owned and operated make it a must stop.” –Lauren L. Photo via Pig Floyd’s Urban Barbakoa
Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria 67 N. Bumby Ave., 407-894-0865 4.5 stars, 1113 reviews “Y’all. Let me just tell you. Yes. I came thinking I knew what a sandwich was, and I left thinking my whole life was a lie. If I could say one bad thing it’s that pub subs will never be the same. I guess there’s a good side to this, I no longer have to rely on Taco Bell after Southern Nights. Thank you Pom. We aren’t worthy!” –Adam M. Photo via Pom Pom’s Teahouse & Sandwicheria
Border Grill Fresh-Mex 5695 Vineland Road Suite A, 407-352-0101 4.5 stars, 1023 reviews “We stopped by this little hole in the wall restaurant because of the great Yelp reviews.

Hawkers Asian Street Fare 1103 N. Mills Ave., 407-237-0606 4 stars, 1928 reviews “Hawkers is one of my favorite spots in Orlando. If you’re looking for delicious Asian fare, search no more. One of my favorite parts is the menu features small plates. Each time you go you can mix and match plates to make the experience unique!” –Shannon G. Photo via Hawkers Asian Street Fare
The Gnarly Barley 7431 S. Orange Ave., 407-854-4999 4.5 stars, 563 reviews. “This is a great spot off South Orange Ave to enjoy some beers and glasses of wine, along with a bite of food.

King Bao 710 N. Mills Ave., 407-237-0013 4.5 stars, 878 reviews. “BEST BAO FOR THE PRICE! Also one of the must visit if you’re in the area. They portions are great and they put so much meat/protein inside.” –Zerlaine P. Photo via King Bao

Market on South 2603 E. South St., 407-613-5968 4.5 stars, 639 reviews. “Quite possibly the best vegan food I’ve had anywhere. And I’ve been vegan for about 6 years now. The mac and cheese, especially the garlic version, is maybe the best restaurant Mac and cheese I’ve ever had. It’s stupidly good. The Brussels sprouts are also to die for. The sandwiches are great, but for me the side dishes are the most impressive things on the menu.” –Blake M. Photo via Market on South
Hash House A Go Go 5350 International Drive, 407-370-4646 4 stars, 2040 reviews. “You’ve read the other reviews There’s not much more I could add. Great food, great staff, and HUGE portions. Parking sucks, you’re going to have to wait, and for good reason. This place is a must try.” –Jay G.

Pio Pio Restaurant 5803 Precision Drive, 407-248-6424 4 stars, 2207 reviews. “Best chicken in the city. Literally. The chicken is so good. This is the perfect casual catch up spot. Order a chicken and a half – it will be perfectly cooked – then add some sides. The fried rice is outstanding. The fries are great. Drizzle the green garlic sauce all over everything. Wow. Also, it’s a total deal, really reasonably priced for a great meal.” –Beanie F. Photo via Pio Pio Restaurant
Santiago’s Bodega 802 Virginia Drive, 407-412-6979 4 stars, 949 reviews. “Santiago’s is the best tapas place in town. It’s the perfect place to go when you can’t decide exactly what type of food to eat because they’ve got a little bit of everything here. They’ve got a lot of vegetarian and keto-friendly options, which is always a win.” –Ash W. Photo via Santiago’s Bodega
Yard House 8367 International Drive, 407-351-8220 4 stars, 1153 reviews. “One of my favorite Orlando restaurants due to the great service and delicious vegan food options. We’ve been here a dozen times and seriously get the best service time and time again. They have an entire gardein vegan/vegetarian menu which rocks. It’s a bit expensive but it’s generally worth it.” –Smith J.
Black Bean Deli Multiple locations 4.5 stars, 561 reviews. “Authentically delicious. Can’t wrong with anything your order here. Great quick place with delicious flavors for lunch. I have ordered the Cuban, pork plate, chicken plate, empanadas, and ropa Veja. All amazing. Seating and parking is sparse during busy hours. Cant wait for their new location to open right by my work.” –Ariana F. Credit: Photo courtesy Black Bean Deli/Instagram

The Meatball Stoppe 7325 Lake Underhill Road, 407-270-6505 4.5 stars, 601 reviews. “First time here… believe the hype.. not only is the food delicious but the staff is super friendly. I opted for the meatball trio and it was such a hard decision to make. I ended getting the lamb, spicy pork and mac n’ cheese with penne pasta. All 3 meatballs were fantastic but if I had to pick one, I’d say the lamb meatball was my favorite.” –Shilley T.
Kabooki Sushi 3122 E. Colonial Drive, 407-228-3839 4.5 stars, 647 reviews. “I wish we lived closer because I can totally envision coming here any day of the week. Their rolls were creative, fresh and beautifully presented. The star for me was their mushroom starter. Omg buttery explosion of simple ingredients. Must try!” –Paloma F.
Domu 3201 Corrine Drive, 407-960-1228 Don’t let their food market look fool you. Though mainly known for their ramen menu, Domu hides some of the dankest chicken wings ever! Their menu actually offers a lot of variety. Try them out next time you’re in to give your experience a little something new. They go great as a side order with their ramen noodles!

Hot N Juicy Crawfish 7572 W. Sand Lake Road, 407-370-4655 4 stars, 1125 reviews. “This place is fantastic. The best seafood I’ve had in a while. I’ve attempted to eat here several times and honestly it was worth the wait. If you enjoy your seafood piping hot, enjoy wearing a bib and gloves you know you’re about to embark on some serious seafood eating.” –Bryttani H.
