REAL roast beef sandwiches!

by rob_smith_jr

There's no excuse for not getting to Beefy King if you live in and around Orange County. It's easy to get to, great staff and incredible food! Try everything, but be sure to have a roast beef sandwich during your first visit. Be aware that they close at 3 and it's drive through until 5:30 when they close. Also closed on Sunday. I've been going there since they opened in 1968 and it's astonding, though now with different owners, the food has never faltered.

• Pros: Food, Service, Location
• Cons: There's only one.

Mission Critical

by JPEGGED

There are few places in America that stay true to their roots from the days they open their doors and Beefy King is one. More than a slice of Americana this place is makes food that will not only keep you coming back but also leave you with a story. Theyre SPUDZ! said the woman behind the counter once after I called them tater-tots. Go there and youll know. Food truly hand-made as they prepare each meal heating their perfectly season roast beef on one of two small steam tables.

My personal favorite is the #4, barbequed chicken and ham with cheese. While this kind of food doesnt go with ANY diet, it will make you think twice about moving away from Orlando.

• Pros: Americana, The #4, Family Owned
• Cons: None.

Classic good food near Downtown

by thquack

If you have ever been to a "Lion's Choice" you will find Beefy King very similar, but superior to LsC. The food tastes especially fresh and the restaurant is immaculately clean for how old the decor is. Being a college student I can also appreciate the cheap price and outstanding value!

• Pros: Clean, Nice Staff, Fresh food
• Cons: Can Be Crowded, Near Busy Colonial
