Gnarly Barley, nestled across from Lake Ivanhoe in Orlando, is quickly becoming a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Known for its vibrant atmosphere and outstanding service, the restaurant offers a delicious selection of sandwiches, complemented by a highly praised beer and wine list. Customers rave about the Bulgolgi Sando, with standout cheese pulls that elevate the dining experience. The waffle fries, crispy and fresh, are another highlight that keep diners returning for more.

While most of the menu shines—sandwiches and vegan options included—some patrons felt the tacos fell flat, citing a soapy taste. However, dishes such as the pickle dip and vegan Biggie’s Bomb-Mi showcase the kitchen's creativity and commitment to diverse flavors. The charming outdoor patio caters to pet lovers and families, enhancing the overall experience.

The friendly and efficient staff further contribute to the welcoming environment. GNarly Barley is not just a restaurant; it’s a community spot that embodies fun, flavor, and fond memories waiting to be made. Be sure to visit soon, as this gem in Orlando promises more than just a meal; it offers a delightful escape.

Food was delicious and fresh, wines and beers were well priced and tasty. The servers were cute, friendly, efficient. We loved Gnarly Barley! The cheese pull on my Bulgolgi Sando was no joke

Cute place right across of Lake Ivanhoe. Sandwiches were nice. A few other options too. Nice selection of beers. Waffle fries were crispy and fresh. GREAT service! Have a small patio in the front facing the lake and dog friendly. Will be back!

Wide beer selection with good tap cocktails, too. Sandwiches are great and the options are varied. The tacos are a miss, but everything else is great. Try the pickle dip. Edit to add since I don't know how to respond to the response: the tortillas for the tacos tasted soapy - like mission tortillas straight out of the bag.

Service is always on point. We’ve loved Gnarley since they were by the airport. Love that there is an area for kids now by such a busy road.

Great spot for lunch. They have clearly labeled vegan options and several ones that can be modified as well. They have vegan chicken available for the sandwiches or salad. I had Biggie’s Bomb-Mi made vegan and it was so good and incredibly messy in all the right ways. Staff was super friendly. We will be back!

Very cute place. The food was a little different, which is what we were looking for. The dishes were a little on the pricey side. The main food did not come with a side. The sides are extra. Great service. Very clean and very friendly. Fast service as well. We got the pretzels for an appetizer, tacos, and chicken sandwich. I was pretty hungry and forgot to get photos of the food. Highly recommend.

First time visitor. We were greeted immediately. All the staff were really cool and made sure we were good. The atmosphere and food were great. I loved the waffle fries! I decided to get a BLT but with cheddar. The pickles are amazing. I really enjoyed everything and highly recommend to check out this spot. Great view, service, food, and overall service. I think it's cool everyone helps everyone so you don't have to feel awkward grabbing someone to get you something.

One of my favorite go-to places for leveled up bar food. The menu has lots of great options that are budget friendly and the restaurant is spotless indoors and out. The best part though is the staff. Attentive and friendly without hovering. Actually enjoyed tipping them because they genuinely seem to love taking care of people. Parking can be tight but this place is worth it.
