Visited The Frog and Monkey in Mt. Dora and now I get why it’s a local favorite. It’s a cool little spot with a laid-back, tucked-away vibe—perfect for grabbing a bite and escaping the crowds.
I had the Ruby Burger, and it was seriously delicious. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and stacked with flavor. You can tell they know their way around a burger here.
We started with the beer-battered mushrooms, and they were a hit—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Definitely recommend if you’re into appetizers that don’t feel like an afterthought.
Service was friendly, the food came out hot, and overall it was a great experience. If you’re in Mt. Dora and craving a good burger and some comfort food with a twist, this place should be on your list.
The Frog and Monkey in Mount Dora is an absolute gem tucked away in the basement of the historic Renaissance building. The ambiance is fantastic, blending a cozy pub vibe with a touch of mystery thanks to the building’s reputation for spirits—both the ghostly kind and the liquid kind! Word has it the pub might even have some friendly ghosts of its own, adding to its unique charm.
The drink selection is excellent, offering a wide array of cocktails, wines, and beers. There’s truly something for everyone. The food is equally impressive. I tried their wings with the house blueberry and maple sauce, and they were absolutely delicious—I had no trouble finishing every last bite! My girlfriend opted for the banh mi tacos, which she thoroughly enjoyed.
The live music was a definite highlight, adding energy and fun to the already great vibes. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better.
If you’re in Mount Dora and looking for a spot with good food, great drinks, and a lively atmosphere (maybe even a ghostly encounter), The Frog and Monkey is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
