Bakely's Restaurant

User Rating: 1 out of 5 stars

I've been living in and around Winter Park for over 12 years now, and as many times as Bakely's has changed hands, I don't get why these people don't understand good food. Maybe that's why owners keep coming and going from such a prime and noted location.

I took my wife to eat here after deciding once again to give a new set of owners a try out. The food was very poorly prepared, and several dishes were not anything like the menu described. The menu is overpriced for the quality and portions offered. the waitress seemed confused and overwhelmed. This place is not an authentic diner by any stretch of the imagination. Please do not be fooled by the same locals who think PF Changs is authentic Chinese Food.

The Stuffed Grape Leaves with Lemon Sauce were not home made. They were served out of a can, and microwaved, with a side of greek cucumber sauce that the waitress proclaimed "had tons of lemon in it", after I asked what happenned to the greek lemon sauce the menu described. The Chicken kabob was not a kabob at all, but a pile of tiny minced pieces of white meat chicken that had obviously never seen an open flame and again, was obviously microwaved. The same can be said for the Gyro, which was served cold and with the meat showing no sign or flavor of being broiled on a spit. there was more lettuce on this Gyro (why was thre even lettuce??) than meat. Completely lacking in flavor this was the worse Gyro I have ever eaten, hands down. I can't remember thelast time I left an eatery feeling nearly insulted over the food.

Somehow these three lunch items that were totaly void of any pride and skill on the part of the kitchen came to $40 with tax. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place at all costs. There are so many wonderful places to eat in metro orlando, don't waste money here.

service was excellent. food was just okay but came out quickly. i ordered the bakely's breakfast. it is kind of ridiculous that they charge extra for cheese in your scrambled eggs. my server was a girl who appeared new, but had a firm grasp of what she was doing. she had great interpersonal skills. we talked about california for a while and it was cool that she is going to my alma mater, usc. i would recommend to someone who wants quick service and decent food at a fair price.
