A great place for an awesome burger. Reasonably priced. The crowd is always drunk, loud and roudy but the food is totally worth it. TVs everywhere with the latest games. The staff are very friendly.

Great location, great concept...if you one day decide to run it correctly, it would be a great restaurant. A couple pointers for you: Make your bartenders WRITE. DOWN. FOOD. ORDERS. This is restaurant 101 protocol to ensure correct orders which, the staff doesn't seem to understand, ever. Literally never. Thus, they can't remember orders for 3+ people who all are "building" their burgers. I'm sure they have great memories but just write it down for the sake of the guest. Staff attitude is subpar. If you're in this industry, the hospitality industry(key word is hospitality), you must have the personality and commitment to be hospitable. Most of the staff are twenty-somethings with the attitudes of twenty-somethings. And for the ones that aren't, grow up. Be polite. Be kind. Be obedient. Your pay is directly determined by your attitude and skill to meet guest expectations or, even better, exceed them. (Notice I never refer to anyone as customers; they are "guests" in your establishment.) Management. Oh my word, the management. The management team can't be friends with their subordinates. They can be friendly and supportive but not "buddy-buddy." This is a major flaw with this company and is especially bad with male management with female waitstaff. The flirtation I observe every time, between management and staff, is blatantly absurd. Normally, things of this nature go unnoticed but this was performed instead of their jobs. This is not a college bar/restaurant, quit acting like it. Yes, it is a sports bar. No, it's not a fine dining restaurant. But this does not mean you can throw HOSPITALITY out the door, especially with management. When an order is incorrect, due to server error or, even if it's not, don't treat guests as it's their fault. Don't "apologize" with a poor attitudes towards guests and certainly don't roll your eyes (this has happened to me before). Then after the "apology," precede to trash-talk the guest to waitstaff, which is very visible to everyone. Very unprofessional. It's not all bad. Food is great and the menu concept, with all the different burger combinations, is golden! Great alcohol variety. Also, one of the best places around to watch a game on television! Just get better! For everyone's sake!

Ripping off customers, so disappointed. Since football has started again we thought we would go to our regular sport. Service was awful, one girl was in the weeds understandably so, but the other was down right rude then pulled some shady stuff. Got 12 count wings one sauce and upgraded to fries ($1), instead she charged is for two 6 counts wings with two upgraded fry charges, she did the same to our friend. Ultimately it's only an extra $3 dollars but who knows how many people they have done this to. They definitely lost a customer over this lack of integrity, will go else where on Sunday's now. Sad because as you can see from my previous review we used to order from here a lot.
(2)Patti M.
This is place where creepy old dudes sit at the bar and stare at the bartender's boobs. It felt more like Hooters than a neighborhood bar. We had the wings which were not all that flavorful and not cooked very well despite my asking that they be nice and crispy. If they drop the ball on the wings, I can only imagine how unimpressive the rest of their food must be.

Great place, great servers and great food!! I can't wait to go back! And their beer selection is amazing toon
(5)Tara B.
I'm giving two stars for it being an ok experience. I went here for lunch. First off the parking lot is just horrid in the back. The parking lot is so small you're afraid you may bump another car. If you do park in the back the smell coming from the dumpster is just awful. We came in the back door, seated ourselves. The crowd seemed ok for that time of day. I had the Sin City burger, which consist of pepper jack cheese, Brie cheese, jalapeños and bacon. I was told I could get it without bacon. However, when I got my order it had bacon on it; what a disappointment. I made the server aware of it, but he seemed unmoved by it; so I took the bacon off myself and placed it on a napkin. The burger itself was bland in taste. Atmosphere was ok, service meh, price a lil too much, especially with the other restaurants offering a lunch menus for less. Don't think I'll be back.
(2)Katie L.
Normally I have good experiences at any graffiti location. Unfortunately my most recent visit, the bar tender gave me a box for my food and my check when I had half my food left and a full drink. I've worked in the service industry many years before and have never done that. Most people will at least wait till your drink is almost empty and ask if you want another or if you even want a box, let alone the check. Felt very rushed and extremely un-welcomed.
(2)Pam H.
I like this location of Graffiti a little more than the Thornton Park location due to being able to hear myself think and not stressing about parking. It is definitely not as loud as Thornton Park, and their patio is great for enjoying the weather. While I normally order burgers, because Graffiti has a great selection of them, on my last visit I decided to give the fish tacos a try. YUM! Three tacos with blackened fish served with a heaping serving of black beans and rice, tortilla chips, and a good serving of jalapenos, sour cream, and salsa. I ordered this because I had just had a workout before lunch and didn't want anything too heavy, however, this was a very filling meal. The crunchy cabbage on the tacos was seasoned nicely, and I liked that they weren't too wet and soggy, as they can be at other places. I ended up just eating the fish and filling out of the last taco, as they were quite filling. I also split an order of the zucchini fries with a friend, as we were starving when we arrived. They came out hot and fresh and oh so good! The zesty sauce that comes with compliments them perfectly. I could easily enjoy an order by myself!

Comfort food served in an unpretentious location. Decent prices. All in College Park. Burgers are fantastic! Also if you try the grilled cheese sandwich wrapped in bacon...holy smokes!!!

My boyfriend is a line cook here and he got me hooked. Such great burgers & chili cheese fries
(5)Allison F.
Great food and good service I had a delicious spinach salad and my mom had a huge yummy burger it's right in college park right on edgewater dr!!!

2 stars because although their trivia nights are fun, the food and service is often not great. I go to GJ pretty often actually. I like their trivia nights and my friends live nearby so it's a good place to meet. What I've noticed lately is that whenever I look at the menu to order I'm reminded that there isn't anything I like. I used to like the veggie burger but either it has changed from a year or two ago or my palate has changed because it's incredibly dry and hard to get through to be honest. I used to get the zucchini fries with horseradish sauce but now they seem overly greasy and unappealing. Today I decided to try the chicken tenders and they were hard, overly salty, and just not very good at all. The servers are nice but food takes longer than it should, as do drinks, and they get the orders wrong a lot. For example tonight my friends ordered wine and I ordered water, yet I got served a glass of wine anyway. Also, my friend asked for a pitcher if beer and got a pint. And finally my friend asked for chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce and they came coated in it instead of with the sauce in the side (something they should probably mention). I think they might not hear everyone well during trivia but I'd rather they ask again it clarify. I'll keep going because it's convenient and there's no alternative in the area that has the same fun and relaxed vibe, but I have yet to find a dish that I would be excited to order again.
(2)Matt K.
I love how Yelp gives you descriptions for the ratings system that are pretty much always on point. My experience here was exactly two stars - "Meh, I've experienced better." As Andi already noted, the trivia night was a lot of fun but the service was pretty poor. I was with a few friends and we all had different tabs that got confused and getting a drink felt like getting your passport renewed (it took longer than a normal person would expect). Atmosphere is casual and the music is loud. The food was cheap but tasty. The bartenders choice of attire was questionable. If you're looking to pop into a dive bar this may be your spot but don't come with a shirt that has buttons on it because you will be gawked at like you have three heads.
(2)Chelsea S.
Graffiti is a great place to get good food and watch a game--something that seems hard to do at the same time in Orlando without finding yourself at a huge national chain. The burgers are good and they have plenty of choices for the picky eaters and vegetarians. The beer choice is meh, but you can find something decent. Definitely try the zucchini fries!
(3)Stephen R.
This was our first time to Graffiti Junction and I will have to say. Not a fan. Sports bar/hooters feel with specially burgers. Although they had a lot of interesting ingredients on the burgers they just weren't very flavorful. The tater tots were actually the best part of my meal. This is probably a great place to have some drinks and watch a football game but not the place to go for an awesome burger.

Only The Best Burger , Specials in Town Great Sports Venue , Awesome Staff!! New Menu You All Rock

If you're in the College Park area on a late Sunday morning and looking for a filling, no fuss meal without the extra long wait, I would recommend checking out this place. Since the weather was beautiful my friend and I decided to eat outside. Our server was quick to approach us to take our drink orders and gave us enough time to at least figure out what we wanted to start off with. When in doubt, get the zucchini fries! I've had these before on previous visits and they were exactly how I remembered. Perfectly fried, crisp and delicious with the horseradish sauce that it comes with. We had no problem emptying that basket. After a quick browse of the menu, I decided to go with the turkey burger dressed with lettuce, onion, tomato and pickle with a side of seasoned fries. When you think of turkey, you probably think bland and boring but not in this case. This was a seasoned and flavorful turkey burger. They were generous with the fries and , as always, I had plenty of stray fry leftovers. My friend had the tacos with blackened fish which looked tasty. Her serving of black beans and rice caught my eye not to mention all the chips and condiments (salsa, jalapenos and salsa) accompanying her entrée. They really fill you up here! The restaurant is also dog friendly as we noticed fellow diners outside with their pets. Parking is much less of a hassle at this location because of the parking lot behind the restaurant but you are also free to park offstreet.

I wish I could like this place, but it is truly terrible. The first time I went, I sat outside and got the slowest service of my life. I ordered a grilled cheese and unless these people put pepper on a grilled cheese, there was dirt in it. If you walk past the back door of the kitchen area, you can tell that the place is filthy. Still, I tried to go back for drinks after that. I sat at the bar waiting to be served or even acknowledged for a good five minutes by one of two bartenders who weren't even busy. NOPE - I took my business elsewhere and will never be back!
(1)Gustavo A. L.
This location is pretty cool. We usually sit outside and enjoy the good Florida fall weather while hanging out with good friends. There is really nothing out of the ordinary about this place, but it;'s semi urban location right off Edgewater Drive in College park gives it an interesting vibe. The service is usually pretty good and the food options are your run of the mill bar food. No high expectations here and we always manage to have a good time.
(3)Melissa K.
Walk in to get my to go food & bartender is texting for about 3 min before she sees me. Then I wait over 25 min when I was quoted 15 for my food. I can't stand restaurants that misquote or screw up & don't even let u know it'll be a few more minutes. Get your shit together, customer service SUCKS.
(1)Angela H.
The food was decent. Be careful getting the stuffed burgers- the burgers come out raw. Why did the waitress ask how my burger should be cooked (medium) if it would going to be raw? Management did apologize (thanks Aaron) and they made me a new burger. Other than the food being decent the service was terrible!! I don't know how many tables our waitress had (the place was pretty dead) but it took FOREVER to get anything. I asked for a dish for water to give my dog - that took at list 30 minutes. I think we waited 20 minutes just for the check. I would look elsewhere for a burger.
(2)Brandi N.
Wow...I don't know where to start. I went to GJ because I was craving a burger and fries and I was told this place was the SPOT! I love the set up and the decor is super cool they have a cool new age jute box that plays just about anything and the have a full bar...can't go wrong for the most part. Until you order...I ordered a cheeseburger with extra mushrooms and fries. I told the server I wanted my burger well done. It took a whole to get my food because they were so busy. When it finally did come I went to take a bite out of my burger and it was still dark pink on the inside. YUCK! I decided I didn't want to wait for another burger since it took so long to get it that I would just eat the French fries and call it a loss. The fries were soft and the grease they used to fry them in was old. I worked in fast food for 3 years...it's pretty easy to see when the grease needs to be changed. Anywho...I'll never eat here again. BUT they do have a full bar and I was able to enjoy a few good drinks.
(2)Joseph M.
My go to place for years when I lived in orlando. Trivia Friday's were always my favorite. Lots of familiar faces every time I'm there. Saw them thanksgiving will see them again at the Christmas!
(4)Jeff F.
great homemade burger and excellent tots! "Hey Napoleon, are you going to eat your tots?" "Go get your own! Gosh!"
(4)Daisy D.
We drove down from from Jacksonville to spend a day shopping for bridal gowns and decided we needed some sustenance before we began. After a comedy of errors, we found ourselves at a table with an awesome waiter and began to peruse the menu. Everything looked good so it was hard to decide. He recommended the zucchini fries and - as Andi P recommended - I wish I would not have had to share them. They were excellent and the dipping sauce was a great complement. For my entree I went with the grilled cheese with tomato & bacon and a side of tater tots. The tater tots were golden pillows of perfectly salted goodness. Everyone had a handful and I had to guard the rest like a crazy woman. The grilled cheese was good, but I could have gone for a little more cheese. But that always seems to be the case, there's never enough cheese for me. My sister enjoyed her Turkey Club and both the other diners got one of the salads (The California one, I believe) and enjoyed it. I can't wait for this place to open up in Jax Beach. Will definitely help me get my burger fix whenever I need one.
(4)Alaina S.
Food is good but slow to get. Very few servers on the floor. Wings are great but very messy and no wet naps provided!!
(3)Jeffrey D.
This has been on my list for a while. While at another business I looked up to see that this was right across the street. My daughter was on the hunt for grilled cheese and I figured this was the best bet. They did indeed have grilled cheese and I went for the buffalo chicken wrap. The portions were huge. The wrap was good, but I still prefer a great deal more kick before it registers. The service was ok. Overall, decent food at a decent price. Large portions so you shouldn't walk away hungry.
(3)Frances F.
Great location! I stop here mid-bike ride frequently for "refreshments". They accommodate large groups very well outside. I've always had top notch service. They are super friendly and make excellent suggestions. One Tuesday the waitress noticed my hesitation with the Jack Daniel whiskey special and swore up and down the Tennessee Honey and diet coke would be a hit. -- She was right! I highly recommend the leek and roasted garlic soup if it's available. It's very rich and yummy.
(4)Mike C.
Best Philly cheese steak sandwich I have had in Orlando. Laid back atmosphere, and great beer selection.
(4)Jon S.
It's cool. Me and my boys come here. We chill. It ain't no thing. We just kinda do what we do and we do it HERE. Well, I gotta go my burger got here with the quickness. Holla!
(3)Jessica S.
My husband and I visited this place for the first time today and all I can say is we won't be back.... The service is HORRIBLE!!!!! We sat at the bar and it was like we were bothering the bar tender when asking for something!! The food was ok-typical bar food! The only perk was the music it was good but definitely not worth coming back to.
(1)Al O.
Good bar good beer selection. However very few chairs with backs so not that comfortable after sitting for an hour or two. Also place is very loud so having a conversation is a challenge. Didn't try the food but having three sweetwater beers is all I need. Cheers! A;
(3)Antonio D.
Food on point at this joint
(5)Andy A.
Glorified biker bar. If your looking for healthy food. Keep movin. All the food is the typical Florida fried fat on a stick. Hamburgers are about all they do. Just what America needs more FAT on the menu Yuk
(1)Catherine R.
We've walked here to eat about 3 times now and the food I always consistent and good. It's fresh made patties and hand cut fries... No frozen crap here. Annnnnd just found out that on Tuesdays kids eat free which is equally cool. I kind of like the grunge of the place having come from NYC just a few months ago :)
(4)Ashley S.
Fun spot for drinks and surprisingly delicious food. Service always takes forever and a day and it's super loud inside! Sweet potatoes are the bomb!
(4)N. S.
Used to LOOOVE this place until a week ago. Showed up with a friend seated ourselves on the patio, the waiter saw us and didn't even acknowledge us...just continued to serve the other tables. We sat there for 10 mins ...no menus-no drink orders- not even a glance. I was convinced we were invisible at one point. After waiting for 15-20 mins we decided to take our business elsewhere. Really disappointed since this is a cool place for the hipsters to vibe but definitely don't feel the same anymore. Not sure if she was having a bad day, blind, or simply ignorant. Don't know if I'll be going back. She killed the Good Vibes I used to get.
(1)Elizabeth R.
I really wanted to enjoy this spot. It seamed so cool. Live music, burgers, artsy vibe, sports & it's family friendly, what's not to like?! The problem is they aren't doing any of these thing well. There is no unifying factor bringing them all together. They have a small menu with very few healthy options; but of everything I've tasted their fries are the most consistent item on the menu. Which isn't saying much because I'm pretty sure they start out frozen. When there has been live music the system is so old the only sound you hear is loud, far too loud to hear any dinning companion. Which would be fine in any normal bar were you were intended to throw back shots and your inhibitions; but with tables of children running around begging mom and dad for quarters so they can "try more time"...I'm not sure. I'm afraid it's just another run of the mill sports bar... at best.
(2)Sara R.
Best place for a good burger in Orlando. The Cheese Head burger is my favorite. The Buffalo Chicken Tots are GREAT. They usually have a pretty good selection of beer and drink specials. This location has a good atmosphere for lunch or dinner, not as busy as the Thornton Park location. It's always nice to sit outside and eat tater tots!
(5)tiffany w.
Not a bad place for College Park. The service is so slow though. Get it together. I know it was a Friday at 4pm when I was there, but really it should not take 25 minutes for someone to greet a table. That's service 101. Good zucchini fries. Ok beer selection. Fun place to watch a game if that is what you are in to.
(3)Scarlet S.
Come here on a slow night, perfect time to watch desperate ugly drunk girls getting their flirts on with guys who are too cheap (or broke) to buy them drinks but will probably take them home anyways. Also good time to watch old people pass their prime trying to act like they are in their 20's. The inside smells like beer that had been spilled and never cleaned up for months. Food was blah, pub food. I did not get sick from eating it so I guess that met my expectation.
(3)Shelley H.
Zucchini fries are a MUST! Great burgers, good service...beer! Very casual and seating is not very comfy, but it is a fun place to eat!
(4)Denny T.
I work long hard hours. I own an Italian restaurant and love Italian food. But from time to time I need a cold beer and a big fat burger. This is the place I go to. I am a huge sports fan and all games are always on. The manager Jessica is very nice and very professional. She runs a tight ship. The burger selection is great. Love the zucchini fries. So when it's time for a cold one and if you want to bs with the locals this is the spot!
(5)Danny T.
I shoulda read Spoon/Fork/Spork Eye's review before I ordered. I made a mistake and it could have been avoided. I've enjoyed just about everything Graf Junx has to offer. Great atmosphere, lotsa tvs, cold drinks and big burgers. However, I have to agree with my compadre (read: YELP lover) that their spinach artichoke dip is not up to par. It's came across more like a bowl of condensed broccoli cheddar soup . The thickness wasn't what I expected. Honestly, the salsa that came on the side with the rest of the chips was my preference. Okay, now that we got that unpleasantness out of the way, let's get down to business, err burgers rather. Massive, no? Pretty sure just about every review is singing the same tune so lemme just specifically mention the two items we enjoyed last weekend. I went with the Cheese Head. As far as GJ burgers go, this one is relatively tame, but sometimes less is more right? Simply a mondo burg stuffed and layered with 4 slices of american cheese, cooked to order with crisp lettuce along side a healthy portion of well-seasoned fries. I'd def get it again if it wasn't for the fact that I want to try every single item once before I go back to the future. Wife got the Baja Mahi wrap. I asked her to rate it 1-10 and gave it a solid 7. I took a bite, there was a nice dressing in there and the fish tasted fresh--nice, moist, plump meaty bites. She however thought the fries were over seasoned, too salty. I guess we all have our preferences. $2 Yuenglings (Or BL or Mich Ultra) during happy hour washed down the meal and that was that. Yay, I'm a fan.
(4)Tom K.
The only reason I gave 2 stars was because I come here very often for drinks and they have great late night food. Great bar, great atmosphere, and good food but horrible bartenders. The last time I was here the girls that took care of us at the bar were the worse I've seen in the Orlando area. It took 25 minutes to get their attention for another beer . At 1:30 they were to busy vacuuming and cleaning the bar to give me another beer , but you close at 2 . They were very rude and disrespectful. I remember one of there names was Ashley and I hope she never waits on me again
(2)Mark C.
Got them Zucchini Fries to share - wow, what a mistake! GIT YO OWN HONEY! Yep, these things almost got me in trouble. Really gooder even with their "ZUK" dippin' sauce. The Drifter brews were cold and a welcome adder to this impromptu event by the street in our seasonally gorgeous weather. Their special for the day - the patty melt was a great do it again burger too. Kristin B- was a bonus service to this memory.
(4)Sara C.
Service was pretty bad. The staff were much more interested in playing beer pong (with water) with each other than attending to any guests. We waited at least 5 minutes for anyone to greet us. Food was good as usual but service was just bad.
(1)Neil P.
I really like the food here... even though it's a little too salty sometimes. Portions are more than generous. The burgers are tasty. The wings - although not prepared in traditional buffalo style - are really good... super-big and meaty. I always get the mounds of tater tots as opposed to the fries. But TOO MANY times I've been subject to bad service here! The last time was the final straw. We showed up on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. Sat down, waitress took our order (one burger, one salad, one kid burger), and we waited - and waited - and waited - with a 2-yr-old - and waited some more. Meanwhile other people around us had gotten their food (nachos, etc) Finally, after about 50-55 min we asked where the hell our food was. They told us they had a large party of about 40 and they just got done getting ALL their food out and now our ticket was the 3rd ticket back. THIRD. TICKET. BACK. After 55 minutes (an opportune time to inform us about the 40-person-party would've been BEFORE we ordered!) We asked why other people had gotten their food and they said it was because they ordered appetizer-like items, and not burgers (which are y'know - the specialty of the house). The manager offered a credit for NEXT TIME... not even a discounted or comped meal that day. Sorry, we walked out and went to the Mexican place down the street. ** On other occasions, I've gone there at night with friends for beers - and almost every time, it seems like one or two beers more than we've consumed have snuck onto the bill. ** Other times I've gone there to watch a game - a MAJOR game that just about everyone in the place is there to watch on their dozens of TVs (like Florida vs Florida State in college football) and they refuse to turn the sound up - playing loud music instead. I've had enough of this restaurant/bar! Poor management, the place seems rudderless and poorly run. The food is good, and the location is convenient - but it's not hard to find a decent burger and beer elsewhere.
(2)Shon R.
Bottom line - one of the best places to grab a burger and watch a game in Orlando. The real allure here is the game day atmosphere. They have plenty of TV's and you never have to worry about whether or not you will get to see the game you want. They also have plenty of drink specials making this a great place to meet up and watch sports. The food is pretty good. There are better places for burgers here in Orlando, but the ones here are nothing to turn your nose up at. I have enjoyed everything I have tried, but I think there are a few better places in town. Still, I wouldn't argue much if someone said this was their favorite. Overall, I think my rating of this place is more like a 4.5. My experiences here have been good each time I have gone.
(4)Mike C.
Sat outside Saturday afternoon and enjoyed the Southwest Graffito (It's a wrap). It consisted of grilled chicken, black bean corn salsa, pepper jack cheese and green chili. I wasn't impressed with the overall taste of the wrap. The flavors didn't jump out at me and left me feeling meh about it. On the bright side the fries that came with the meal were crispy and fresh and their yuengling is cheap. Our server provided good service and sitting outside makes for great people watching.
(3)Barry K.
I am torn on my rating. We have been here twice in the past couple of months. The food and staff are great, that's where it ends. The first visit we eat inside which is dark and loud. So loud you have to yell at each other to communicate, it is a barroom after all. The next visit we eat outside thinking it would be better. The noise level was better but everyone is out there smoking. If people want to kill themselves and smoke, great. But, why does a restaurant think it is ok to subject those wanting to eat outside to other dinners smoking. Smoking is not allowed inside, why is it permitted outside? Due to this reason, I won't be back and thus the reason for a lower rating. If you smoke, you will love this place. Even inside, the smoke blows inside every time the door opens. It ruins your food and makes you want to gag.
(3)Kate H.
This restaurant save the day for party that I had on Friday night that was turned away by another restaurant. I have the Santa Fe burger and it was delicious and we had several sides that I enjoyed as well. It has a fun atmosphere we get to sit outside at picnic tables and with a large party we had a lot of fun visiting.
(5)Chris D.
I had the Big and Juicy burger but it was not the best burger I have ever had. BUT my husband had the Buffalo Chicken and Tots from the appetizer menu and boy was that good! It's too big for one person. I gave them 4 stars for that but the burger wasn't great and the bartenders walked past us 4 times before even acknowledging us so service could be better.
(4)Chef R.
This place rocks. Cold beer. Decent food. Cool people. Yup, it's a keeper. The burgers are ok. A little big and over priced but over all worth it since you bring home a snack from the left overs. I liked the burger with the egg. Sounds weird but it's like totally yummy.
(4)Jennifer M.
So after having passed Graffiti Junktion numerous times, I finally stopped in this afternoon. What sealed the deal was the outside sign that read Mimosas and Bloody Marys $3.00 until 3pm! Upon entering, there was a period of awkwardness as there is anytime you enter a place bustling with patrons. There wasn't anyone at the front to greet us, nor was there any sign regarding self seating. So after a few seconds, we seated ourself at a window-side counter. After a minute or so, we noticed the greeter at the front counter who apparently missed us. Once she realized we were there, we were given menus and the server appeared immediately to get our orders. I appreciated the promptness of the service from that point forward! I also enjoyed the sports bar atmosphere and casual feel of the place. My boyfriend and I were so hungry that by the time we arrived, we opted for an appetizer and chose the wings to share; we ordered burgers and fries for our main meal. First let me say, we ordered absolutely WAAAAY too much food. The wings were my favorite! They were juicy with just the right amount of flavor and kick and a very generous portion that included chips and a side of celery sticks. For drinks I chose the $3.00 Bloody Mary special and it really lived up to my expectation. The burgers were very large and tasty. My boyfriend enjoyed his cheeseburger with all the fixings and I enjoyed my Brotherly Love speciality burger. What can I say, the food was good! So here's what to expect at Graffiti Junction: friendly/ attentive service, yummy food and beverage, and cool, casual atmosphere. Enough said.

This is the 2nd time I have been to Graffiti Junktion and I have to say my first time was a much better experience. We were in the College Park area with our friends and we were all craving a juicy burger. Our husbands decided to share the monstrous chicken nachos, and my friend and I each got a burger with Avocado, bacon, and a friend egg. We also ordered fried pickles and tater tots for apps. When our waitress would get the time to come over, she was fabulous. When our order came out, however, I think the cook was heavy handed on the salt that night. EVERYTHING tasted like salt...the tots, nachos, and even the pickles! My best friend's lips were burning because there was so much salt on our food! The burger itself was made to perfection, except they forgot to put our favorite (the avocados!) on our burgers. Usually this place is pretty good, but that night was below par. It's usually always a packed place with lively people, so expect slow wait service. If they perfected their dishes and possibly hired a few more waitresses this place would be competing with some of the other top restaurants on the street!

Zucchini fries were AMAZING!! I got the sin city burger which had jalapeños and bacon. The jalapeños were cooked right into the meat which I thought was great because it made taking bites of the huge burger easier and delicious. I got it to go but it looked like there was a variety of beer on tap, chill environment and the burger was pretty good. Two thumbs up.

We went there on ladies night. So free champagne! I believe it was a Thursday for those keeping track. It was happy hour at first. A dollar off drinks. Ladies night started after 7. I got the bacon cheeseburger (sorry I forget the name on the menu). It was delicious! There fries were great. We got a side of ranch for dipping. I did got through like 25 napkins. Totally worth it. I think I like this location a little better than the Thorton Park one. I felt like it was a little more functional. And the last time I went to the TP location, it was raining and there were some leaks in the roof.

Went there this past Saturday with my boyfriend and loved it! Loved the ambience, they had bingo night and it was fun. I ordered the Veggie burger and it must've been the best one I've eaten. It was AMAZING! The fries were just as amazing. I definitely will be visiting them again! Loved, loved, loved it!

The decor definitely lives up to the name of the restaurant. I tried out their fog city burger (which is turkey, avocado, sprouts, lettuce and tomato), and I felt it was a bit over seasoned, the burger that is. There was a spice in the mix that was definitely overpowering in the turkey meat. It was a big burger, which was a bit difficult to eat and stuff constantly falling out of it, which was a bit annoying. You can substitute your fries with their fried zucchini.

We've been having a little contest at work to find the best hamburger in town. I'd previously had a pretty good burger at the Thornton Park Graffiti Junktion, so I suggested trying this one. When we ordered the hamburgers, all of us ordered them medium except one person who asked for medium well, a reasonable request given the dangers of eating undercooked raw ground meat in some places. He was informed that they only prepare them rare, medium rare or medium. This is very odd, as most places in town won't even cook hamburgers less than medium. Our meal showed up after a fairly long wait, and looked good. The fries certainly won't win any awards, as they're rather limp and flavorless, but the burgers looked good. Then we bit into them. Even around the edges they were essentially raw inside. Given the strange cooking policies, we didn't even try to send them back, just nibbled the edible parts and left. Steak is fine to eat rare or raw. I have steak tartare often. According to a 2010 report by the US Department of Agriculture's Inspector General, ground beef in the US is routinely contaminated with biological pathogens such as e coli and salmonella. Cooking can destroy these pathogens if meat is cooked to a sufficient internal temperature. Given the lack of management evident in nearly every aspect of our visit to Graffiti Junktion College Park, there is no way I would assume they have even stored the meat properly or cleanly, so I will be trying other places. This place is off the list.

Great spot in College Park with outdoor seating. First time at this location but food was on point! Our server was excellent - attentive and courteous. Definitely recommend the Fried Pickles and the Turkey Burger. Got my burger with Pepper Jack cheese! A great deal for a simple burger at only $7.50 + $0.75 for the cheese. I also substituted the french fries for Zucchini Fries - its a smaller portion but healthier choice and delicious! They have happy hour drink specials daily from 4-7 PM.

Food was good but service was seriously lacking. I enjoyed the veggie burger, it nice and crispy on the outside and I liked the build-your-own options and being able to select the toppings I wanted. Fried had good potato flavor & had a good salt lever but were too soft, coulda shoulda woulda been much crispier. Now, the service...service started out strong. We were greeted right away & had our order taken & delivered in a timely manner, but it went downhill from there. Our server NEVER came back. No re-visit to see if we needed anything, how our meals were, nothing. I had to hunt him down to get another cocktail. And it's not like the place was packed. There were a bunch of kids outside, some little league team, but inside maybe a 1/4 of the tables were occupied, so there was no excuse for the lack of service. It's not like our server was weeded with a ton of tables to take care of.

If you want to go to a bar that has good/great food, drinks, and lots of TVs, the hit up Graffiti Junction. Their burgers are great, nachos are better than legendary. Good spot to catch a bite, drinks and the game.

I've been to this Graffiti Junktion 6 or 7 times and had good experiences and not so good experiences. I love the food, but the service is very spotty. I was in between appointments so I thought I'd pop in here and grab a burger for lunch this week. It was busy, but not packed. I sat down right away and ordered because I didn't have much time. After waiting 30 minutes and no food, I finally asked for it to go so I ended up eating it in my car. The waitress apologized and said the kitchen had gotten backed up because everyone showed up at once. They were not that busy so I'd hate to see the kitchen if they were busy. The best part was that I had ordered tots instead of fries and they put fries in the to go box. If you are going to be slow, at least get the order right. A 30 minute wait for food is way too long during the lunch hour when people are running in between appointments or have a short window in which to grab something to eat. I will go back to the restaurant for dinner, but never again for lunch. I could have saved my self $8 and driven through Wendy's if I wanted to eat a hamburger in the car. I'm in College Park 3 times a week for business so it's a shame they lost a potential loyal customer because they can't get the food cooked fast enough.
(3)Janene H.
What ruined this location for us was not our server, she did the best she could, it was the kitchen. We sat outside at the picnic tables just feet from busy Edgewater Drive. Maybe it's just this part of town but several drivers would shout some not-so-nice-things as they drove by. Kind of distracts from the dining experience. We ordered some drinks then our food and waited, and waited. What could possibly take so long?!? These are burgers! When the food FINALLY arrived (I'd say it took 20+ minutes) my burger was overcooked. My husband got a plat of fries, minus a burger. Apparently his had fallen on the floor and while they recooked the burger our server brought the fries so he'd have something. Well, I had completely finished by the time his burger came out but it was missing the onions. Really? Again, this shouldn't be complicated. The food itself would have been good, if cooked properly. Our server was apologetic (she acted like this happens a lot and is tired of it) and did take one of the burgers off the bill. Still might not be enough for us to return. Too bad, because we really enjoyed the Thorton Park location.
(2)Lyle H.
What a cool little place. Want a burger? They really have you covered. Vegetarian? Not a problem. One of the best veggie burgers I've had.
(4)Kathy M.
I love to go to Graffiti Junktion on weekends for their $3 Bloody Marys (til 3pm on Sat/Sun as well as mimosas) and let me tell you, they're some of the best in town! Zucchini chips = awesome Mahi sandwich = yummo Shrimp and grits = good but the sauce choice is a little odd I don't eat wings but my friends love them here. I don't really go anytime other than on the weekend before 3 because they don't normally have great prices on their drinks or very good happy hour specials.

I already reviewed this place under its other entry: Graffiti Junktion 2. Here it is (I figured I'd post it in both entries): A friend and I stopped in here last week to try and catch some of the Red Sox/Yankees game. Unfortunately, much of the evening was a complete disaster, though only some of that has to do with GJ2 itself. We sat at the bar and were immediately served by a friendly female bartender (I can't remember her name; I think my receipt's been thrown out already, too). My friend had a BBQ burger, and I had an ordinary one (I didn't want to pay so much for a hamburger here; the "specialty" ones are a little too expensive for my liking). I think I had two beers, and he had three. We split the check down the middle (he had one more beer than I did, but whatever) and I think what I owed came out to be something like $15. Hmm. I don't know - I could've gone to The Hideaway or somewhere else and had a burger and a few beers for maybe $10-$12. Ironically enough, I was hoping to take my friend there to begin with, but he didn't have cash on him. (The Hideaway is a cash-only establishment.) My burger was good, and the staff was friendly. We got into some baseball-related conversations with a few employees, but not the female bartender. I had heard that the burgers at GJ/GJ2 were possibly Orlando's best, though there wasn't anything mind-blowing about mine. (Of course, I didn't have one of the "specialty" ones, so ...) The rest of the night was pretty terrible as the baseball game we wanted to see ended up being in a rain delay until, like, 10:30 p.m. (At which point both of us had returned to our respective houses, and disappointed.) Also, my degenerate next-door neighbor was sitting across from us at the bar, and I had to spend the majority of the time here that night not looking at him or trying to avoid him. He's worthless, so having to look at him while I was eating and hanging out with a friend I hadn't seen in more than a year was not what I was hoping for. My neighbor's a real jacka$$. Anyway, back to the review. The crowd inside seemed to be younger than both my friend and I. I don't have a problem with it, but the atmosphere is kind of "college-y" and so on. I'm not sure why, since there isn't a college nearby (unless you count Rollins, which is at least a few miles away). I'm okay with this place, though I don't know how soon I'd rush over here. I prefer the location in Thornton Park, though even that one isn't exactly one of my favorite places. It's cool ... but it's just that I prefer my bar atmospheres to either be more "dive-y" or upscale. I like "dive" bars and places like Tanqueray's (downtown), which serves good wine and martinis and so on. GJ/GJ2 are right in the middle of my preferences; I could take or leave both. However, I enjoy going to each one once in a while just to keep things level.

In the words of Sir Mix-a-Lot, " I wannem real thick and juicy." In that case Graffiti Junktion is Sir Mix-a-Lot approved because that's exactly how they make their burgers, real thick and juicy The fries are good. And the Sweet Tea is not good. The servers are pretty freindly, but didn't get the toppings on my burger right. That's pretty much it. It's worth a stop if you want a burger and some fries. Just speak loudly and slowly like you do when you want a foreigner to miraculously understand English, because "onions and jalapenos only" appears to be a foreign concept to them. "Baby Got Back"

Sometimes, you need to do something more than once to really get it right - the second Graffiti Junktion is a definite improvement over the original. While I'd love to just review this location on it's own, the differences make it impossible to not compare the two. This location still aims for a sports bar audience - and has roughly 20 big screen tv's to cater to them. I found it odd though that those twenty screens only seemed to play two channels though. Pretty much anywhere you're sitting inside, you've got a decent view of a screen. Speaking of inside - it's large and open - and it seems like there are less tables than the original. There's a big open area between the entrance and the bar. The floor there, however, is really sticky. Yuck. Aside from the extra tables, the other thing missing is the local art. There is plenty of graffiti, but the Thornton Park location also has art from local artists hanging. Not really a huge deal, but when your shirts say "support the local arts" and you don't have any - it's kind of confusing. But you're not here for the graffiti or the arts - you're here for the food. Right? The food here is better than the original location. Burgers are cooked exactly to your requested temperature. Fries are seasoned perfectly. Portions are huge, yet still manageable. For our visit, we had the lone star, the green mountain and veggie burgers. Each of us were extremely pleased with our food. I believe I heard the waitress mention that they don't have all the beers of the Thornton location, but she listed them off to our friend. Our waitress was friendly, attentive and quick - a stark departure from those of the original location. Aside from the sticky floors, my only other complaint was about the bar along the front windows. Whoever poured the clear resin to fill the bar didn't let it all set properly. There's a big area where everything is sticky. I didn't notice it until I lifted my arm from the bar and felt my shirt sticking/pulling from the bar. Nasty. Just avoid that area, and you're good to go.
(4)Mike S.
Cleaner than the Graffitti in Thornton Park. Same deal though as the other one....zuchini fries good but too few (how come when i buy zuccini at the market its freakin cheap! Why oh why can't they put more of them in the basket?!) the spinach artichoke dip was too thick and not good. The service here is what made it highly enjoyable. Our server was on point, made my martini perfectly, friendly, very beautiful, and a huge personality. I'll be back bc my friends live near by and the service was great. Gov Arnold line for the day: "Hey Scowee, remember when i said i'd kill you last?......I LIED."
(3)Selena C.
Went this weekend with the kids. Had seating outside which was nice, since it was a beautiful day. Had a mahi mahi salad which was pretty good, nothing earth shattering. Dressing was really tasty. Kids had a grilled cheese and a grilled chicken sandwich, again looked good nothing super interesting to talk about...however...THE TATER TOTS WERE FREAKING AWESOME! Each meal came with fries which were also good, but the tots were so great, we might make a special trip just to have the tots! Service was just whatever, had to wait a while for my drink to be filled but overall it was a good experience.

This recent addition to College Park finally opened in the old K Restaurant space across from Harmoni and next to Roly Poly. This weekend was the Soft Opening/Sneak Preview opening in part to get traffic from the College Park Jazz Festival that went on this Sat. I can see, I was not the only person that could not wait for this place to open! ** Officially Opens on 10/29/10 at 11:30AM ** With my work I am close by for lunch and I am sure those after work get togethers that include adult beverages this will be a regular stop for me. They had good crowds Saturday and today they were just as busy with NFL football fans. If you are a fan of the one in Thornton Park really no surprises here it's the same folks that run that one. The menu as of the Soft Opening/Sneak Preview was a little bit smaller but I think it well be just a matter of getting the kitchen and staff up to speed in a new place and then it will be full force menu If your not familiar with Graffiti Junktion it's a decent selection of stuffed burgers or Specialty Burgers. Some call it limited but a good burger is a good burger and if you are doing something right don't mess with the formula. I am partial to the Chi-town Burger myself and it's not on the new location menu as of yet. One of my non burger favorites are the Graffiti Chicken Wings w/ Nick's Special Sauce. Those wings are serious County Fair Winners and you can make a meal just off the appetizer. Great Location in my opinion and if other bars in the area that are kind of Scruffy you may want to get your act together because the people that run Graffiti Junktion seem to have stumbled on a successful formula that works and I am sure they will do the same here. I'll be curious though to see how this popular spot handles the more family oriented area of College Park! I have already heard some grumblings that some College Parkians are not real sure this is a good fit for them.

So ladies night is Thursdays. Free champagne. Except they're serving sparkling sickeningly sweet moscato. Gross. That's not really champagne...
(1)Clara S.
It was fun,.. even a place I can take the kids,... with the skeet ball and such. Everyone but me had burgers "their way". They will make'em any way you want to order them. One of them had a turkey burger and it was very good too! I had the entree as I did at the "other" Graffiti Junktion. Steak and potato salad, and it was good. I like it the other way better with potatoes mixed in with the salad. This place had a potato salad with a steak salad. Again, very good, just my preference is the other way. We sat outside and enjoyed the people watching and the great January weather. Do stop in,.. it was a great way to pass the time!!
(4)Monica R.
You can't go wrong with a burger here, and I love how they don't nickel and dime you for swapping things out (i.e. zuke fries instead of french fries, avocado instead of potato salad, etc.) Fun atmosphere! I don't recommend GJ though if you do not like loud places.
(4)Ryan R.
I would tell you how the food tastes here vs. the Thornton Park location, but we never had a chance to try it. After 30 minutes we were informed of a glitch in the bar and kitchen computers--our order got lost somewhere in between. Whether or not that actually happened, you'd think they'd have put in a rush order to remedy the situation. I'd have been happy with that. Instead we waited 30 more minutes before leaving, though not before we were offered free beers. I should mention it was noon on a Tuesday, and that I am employed.* On our way out we were chased down by the server/bartender who was yelling something about how they could box the food up for us and we could pay... I, for one, was not convinced that the burgers were done cooking, let alone that they existed in reality. For the time it took them to cook a medium burger, I could only assume that something was wrong with meat, something was wrong with the cook, or that the cow itself was in transit, on its way to be slaughtered, butchered, flash frozen, shipped cross country, defrosted, cooked, and finally served to me. The only thing more confusing than the whereabouts of my burger was why the staff would even suggest we pay after waiting an hour. *Not that I'm trying to judge people who enjoy a pint on their lunch break.
(1)Sean O.
Thornton Park Graffiti has the best atmosphere and people watching by far. Food was almost as good here but over all not the same experience. The surrounding blocks in general are made up of 2-3 places to eat or have a drink and all are equally as thrilling if you get my drift.
(3)Joshua J.
I am a fan of Graffiti Junktion.. the original one anyway. I have been to the College Park location 4 or 5 times now. Only one of those times would I say I had a really positive experience. The staff here just doesnt have the same vibe as Thornton Park. I guess you can take the bar out of Thornton Park, and unfortunately, you can take the Thornton Park out of the bar.
(3)Justin C.
Since I'm not a 5'9" 120 lb hipster, I never felt comfortable when I went to the Thornton Park location. So, I was glad that this location opened. Much more down to Earth than the Thornton Park location. Same great burgers. I've took a vegetarian family member, and they enjoyed their veggie burger as well. The place is loud. Very loud. So, if you want to have a conversation while you eat, sit outside. They offer a Wagyu Burger, which is outstanding. Unfortunately, it's not a daily menu item. Currently, Yelp does not show that GJ II offers free Wi-Fi which is a big deal to me. That way when you have to eat by yourself like I sometimes have to, you can surf the web instead of just aimlessly staring off into nothing.
(4)Britt C.
Good place, kinda hard to find as there is no sign that I can find, but a cool little place. I have been a couple times and have had good experiences both visits. Lunch was good, fun for the kids, customer service was fine and there BBQ is surprisingly good. Dinner had a great musician playing the acoustic guitar, not too loud and played good selection of music. Burgers are good, if your feeling crazy try the Iron City burger, just make sure to run about 10 miles the next day! So, if you can find it, I say Go!
(4)Longwood R.
The burger, the outrageous fries, the cold beer, outdoor seating, kid friendly, live entertainment....this is my go to place for the best burger in Orlando, period.
(5)Jenn D.
I was told this place has pretty good burgers so I decided to give it a try after church. I got the brotherly love burger with peppers, onions, mushrooms, and provolone. It also came with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and fries. My friend got a salad, and I got my burger cooked medium rare but it took about 20 minutes for it to come out and besides us, there was only one other table there. The service was relatively slow and it took a while for the food to come out. Once it finally did, I was very impressed at the size of the burger but it was too overcooked for medium rare. Overall, I was more disappointed than impressed with the food itself once I bit into it. It was eh, I've had better. The fries were pretty good though. One thing I really liked were the picnic tables outside, each one had all sorts of colorful graffiti on it. That definitely caught my attention, if I didn't know about the food, I would stop by and try it just for that. I'll probably give it another shot, because they might've been having an off day... But I probably won't go out of my way for it.
(2)David H.
The burger was great and the atmosphere is decent, but the service was SLOW! We went for lunch and the place was half full, we were there for an hour and a half from sit down to stand up. We never were offered refills on our drinks and it took 30 minutes to get our checks, after we asked several people, including the manager, to get our check. They also don't appear to be able to make change for people who use cash... Our waitress said that was the hold up. I'd be willing to give it another try, if they expand their beer selection. It seems all they carry on tap is Anheuser products... Not good.
(2)Eric S.
Atmosphere is great for groups, but the service is not so good on a slow night. Food is the typical bar food; not the greatest. Only 6 beers on tap and they aren't that cold. Just opened, maybe it will get better with time.
(2)Steph S.
Horrible! We had ordered spinach & artichoke dip. What we got was cheese with spinach & maybe bits of artichoke in it. Spinach & artichoke dip is suppose to look whitish & creamy, this was yellow. Plus, it tasted awful. We sent it back. We had ordered two medium burgers. I told my friend this burger didn't taste right, and had him cut it in half. My friend discovered they had served me rare burger (disgusting!!!). The fruit bowl wasn't half bad. He had the waitress send my plate back. I flat out told him I was done with this place & wanted to eat at another place. I have never done this, but this place was so bad I got up & just left. He remained behind to talk to the waitress. We had gone around 2pm, so there was not a whole lot of people there. But, we had to wait forever for everything. I do have to give the waitress props for being nice, & I know it is not her fault that the food was awful. * When I went to the other place to eat I explained how bad this place was. The waiter proceeded on telling me that some of his co workers came to eat at this place & all have had bad experiences with the food.
(1)Gabrielle G.
My friend and I were really excited to try this place, but it left us wanting so much more. We both tried the green mountain, but it wasn't that great. The bun was okay, but the meat was flavorless (which is sad because I'm not a big salt person), and the burger was dry. If it's not going to have sauce on it, the burger should be juicier and maybe the egg should be somewhat runny. I actually ordered a burger from steak n shake with cheese, bacon, and an egg on it (runny), and it was soooo much better. I'd consider going in again and trying something else because I've heard so many great things, but I'm just not sure. Maybe someone was having an off day in the kitchen when I went in?
(2)Laura T.
CLERMONT LOCATION....WOW! What a disappointment! They were not very busy but the food took a very long time to come out. The two salads and wrap that were ordered by our group were pretty good. The french fries and tater tots serve with the other meals were horrible. The tater tots were way overcooked. The fries were black and soggy. I asked for the manager who I probably could have flagged down on my own had I known he was a manager. He was sitting down (butt on a table top) almost the entire time we were there talking to the same customers. He was dressed in jean shorts and a white t-shirt. Casual clothing is okay but I would expect the GM of a business, especially a new restaurant, to be dressed a little nicer. He came over and asked that we bare with them as they were still new. I can deal with that. Things sometimes take a while to get going in a new business. However, I would never have expected him to leave us saying "Enjoy your meal!" Seriously! I just told you that the tater tots were way over cooked and the fries were soggy and burnt. Oh yes! He had to hurry back over to sit down and talk to the only customers in the whole restaurant that he had talked to our entire TWO hour visit. Definitely will not be hurrying back to this place anytime soon....if ever! By the way, two people in our group had the burgers. They were decent but nowhere close to the Best Burgers in town. They were not anything special and definitely did not justify the price of $11 and $13. I think the other owners better get involved quick if they expect to make it in Clermont.
(1)Michael L.
We had sandwiches on the sidewalk on Saturday afternoon. Started with fried pickles as an appetizer. Being norther city boys, this was a new treat, and we enjoyed them, would order again. I had a big juicy burger stuffed with mushrooms and bleu cheese. I ordered it medium-rare, and it came out hot, and cooked perfectly. My travel buddy had a wrap, and while I didn't taste it, it looked really good, and he finished it, which is a good sign. The service was pretty good, wait time from ordering to the kitchen and back was average. Our soft drinks were never empty. The lively tone of the college,park neighborhood made this a good choice for outdoor dining. I sense that it was quieter than sitting inside the barroom would have been. I would return here.
(3)Robert H.
I've been here more than I would probably like to admit. This is my go to place for a good burger, wings, beer, or to watch a game.
(5)Enrico M.
Such a great place to hang out with friends and family! Its got good bar food and the staff is super friendly and HOT! One of my favorite places in Orlando to hang out!
(5)Vanessa A.
Pros: Kaleigh and Blake make me great drinks it's close for after-work libations indoor/outdoor seating decent food Cons: Saturday night is just plain LOUD Zucchini basket is missing more content (c'mon guys, they're cheap!) parking can be annoying All that being said, you should check em out :)
(3)Mike H.
Great burgers and fries! Good place to watch a game and they also have good happy hour specials in the afternoon and again after 10pm. They also have some good trivia and bingo nights too.
(5)Sean H.
This was my second trip to GJ and, sadly, it wasn't as good as my first. They changed their menu (lunch menu anyway) between trips and took off the great BBQ, slaw and baked beans I had the first time. On my most recent visit I had the el cubano graffito. I'm obviously still a GJ rookie so I didn't realize it was going to be a wrap. It definitely wasn't the same. The pork was really tasty but, overall, just not the same. Bring back that good BBQ!
(3)Steve H.
How does Graffiti Junktion only have 3 stars? This place is great. It's a loud sport bar, so prepare for that. But they do one of the top 3 best burgers in Orlando. Staff is always friendly and outgoing. We go about 3 times a month. The gigh-normous nachos are remarkable. You won't find better nachos. I wish they came in a smaller serving because one order could feed like a baseball team. This is a favore spot in College Park.
(5)Ben B.
Don't waste your time here after 9 on the weekends. Service is sub par, and the DJ is awful. The DJ was cursing at my friend incessantly because he didn't accept a prize they were giving out. Not OK. I spoke with the manager who proceeded to roll her eyes at me and treat me without respect. I do love the burgers here, but unfortunately, I will not be giving them any more of my business due to this incident.
(1)David G.
Gotta say the burger was top notch. Hand formed, thick and cooked correctly. Turkey burger was well seasoned and like the special sauce they serve with it. Zucchini Fries, gotta try them!!! Regular fries are very good quality frozen product, but nothing special (Big 5 Guys Fries fan here) Service was a little too casual, no sense of urgency... we were on a lunch schedule... so would have appreciated if things move a bit faster... Wait for drinks, wait for check, wait for pick up the check.... However, they were attentive to refills and checking to make sure everything was good and manager stopped by as well.. so that evens it out on critical points.. next time will tell the server we have a deadline. Very loud rock music with good selection of songs, Mostly picnic table seating, Lots of TV's and good variety of shows for a Friday lunch.

We've eaten here a few times now, both for lunch and dinner and have never had a bad experience. Lunch time was quiet and we ate outside. I'm not a burger person, so went for the Turkey Wrap-which I thought was a little pricy for $10 until I saw it. It was giant (I took 1/2 home for another meal)-and the turkey was not the thin deli kind, but thick cut as if right from the breast. The honey mustard, apples and brie were in just the right amounts to make it all come together nicely, and the fresh cut french fries were delicious. I enjoyed the sandwich so much, I got it the next two time we ate there, until we managed to go on a Friday night with 1/2 off appetizer. Our table split some wings, zucchini fries, and spinach dip. The wings were pretty good, I really like the sauce, but they could have been crispier. The zucchini fries were great, and the spinach did was meh. My son got a kids quesadilla the size so big, he got three meals out of it-pretty good for $4 or free on Tuesday nights. Someone in my party always gets a burger and is quite pleased. Most opt for the unfortunately name "wimpy" burger that is more than enough to feed a regular appetite. Overall, the atmosphere is fun, kid-friendly enough that we all go there as a family for a relaxed meal. They have Magic Hat #9 on draft, and a full bar so the adults are happy. The TV, games, and music keep my 7 year old entertained, and most nights there is some sort of special to alleviate the bill. And I'm flabbergasted at those who had bad service--each and every time I have been there (3+ times in the past 2 months), more than one person has greeted us with a friendly "Hello sit where you please," and our servers have been quite friendly and attentive. Maybe they took notice to the previously bad comments? To sum things up: Pros: Great burgers and fries and turkey wrap Good value for kids meals Good specials Friendly staff Full Liquor and some decent craft beer Cons: Gets pretty loud Can be difficult to find parking Sandwiches and burgers appear to be expensive (thought not really for the amount of food you get)

Great food on the cheap. My husband loves the burgers but my personal favorite is when I can convince him to split the nacho appetizer with chicken on the side and a bowl veggie chili. We've even split the nachos 3 ways as a meal and still ended up with leftovers so if you order it plan on sharing! Atmosphere is busy and loud, service is pretty good. Somehow it is always busy, even when you wouldn't expect to find people out in College Park. I haven't been to the Thorton Park location so I'm not sure how this one compares.

This place is great for what it is. The burgers are great and extremely filling. I'm not so much a fan of the bbq menu or the fries but everything else is awesome. This location is far better than the thornton park district location when it comes to watching sports. Every wall is covered with flat screens and you'll never miss a play. If you are watching a game though, I have to warn you that they play really loud music over the games, even if they're big college football games or playoff games.. but some people like that I guess. The best part about graffiti is the bar. Awesome selection of drinks and extremely friendly and helpful staff. i love going here at night and just posting up on the streetside picnic tables enjoying the college park vibe.

Beer+ drinks+ many tvs and an every growing scene makes this place good. Reviewers looking for a romantic candelit dinner- duh, this isn't the place. But those looking for a good small town-feeling bar that has a steady clientele (kids to families to legal drinkers to late night Cougars) this is the place. I hear the burgers are awesome, but I'm a vegetarian... and I still go here. Thumbs up for the CP addition. PS- I've never been to the other location. PPS- Nearly all the female bartenders have sticks up their butts... and I still go here.

I have to concur with another reviewer's opinion of the atmosphere - inside can be absolutely unbearable. I don't think I've ever been in a restaurant that is this loud. I try to eat outside when I'm there, but in the late afternoon it can be miserably hot. I really like the veggie chili (which, by the way, isn't vegetarian). Pretty much everything else I've had there was loaded with so much salt that it was almost inedible. I just don't get the fascination for such highly salted foods. Maybe that's just me. Their hamburgers were big and juicy and sort of bland. Luckily, they do offer a lot of different toppings to make it more interesting.

We have been here several times and the burgers are just great! The quality suffers a bit when the place is really crowded such as when there is a big game on. Though it s rates a solid four stars, I would recommend this place to anyone.
(4)Lauren H.
I live in Thornton Park so actually I go to that one like once a week but I just needed to say that I went to this location for the first time last week and I kind of like it better. The food is the same as the other location, pretty darn good if you ask me, but the layout is better and it's much cleaner. The TVs seem bigger and nicer too. Great for watching sports. Don't forget the Zucchini Fries and Magic Hat on tap!
(4)Joe S.
Second time here. The kitchen is still slow and overcooks the burgers. The server are still sweet and cute but neglect your beverages. The meat in the burger also seems to be pre-processed and probably frozen.

Well Helloo College Park Graffiti Junktion! Thanks for the shots!
(3)Eric D.
I've been a fan of Graffiti Junktion at their Thornton Park location. The food has always been good and the prices reasonable so I was excited to see their new location in College Park. This new location definitely felt smaller but overall was a little newer and nicer. One carryover from the other location is the noise. This is not a quiet place. Hard floors, picnic table seating, televisions blaring and the bar right in the middle makes this a pretty noisy place, especially when it's busy. That definitely creates some atmosphere but it's not great if you're with a group and trying to have a conversation. The burgers are always good but often times served a little under or over done. They are generous in size though and served with an ample portion of fries. On this visit, I had the turkey burger which was just ok. Others had salads and quesadillas which were both good. As a burger joint, it definitely ranks right up there and you can always get a nice meal for a reasonable price. If you don't mind the noise and picnic tables, you'll have a good time.

Went here for the soft opening, for the Oregon game last night, and again tonight. Of course, it is just next to my house...but it's a great addition to the neighborhood. One could say the menu is limited, and that's true, but the burgers (actually, we had the 'fog city' turkey burger), salads and hot dogs are very good. The burger was actually excellent, with avocado and sprouts on it, it needed no additional condiments. The staff is great so far, very helpful and friendly. Nice change from one or two of the other late night places in the area. Great for sports, since they have something like 20 new flatscreen TV's, usually some sound and/or music but not overwhelming. The drink prices are pretty good, and the food prices aren't bad either. Burgers are 7-11$, salads are about the same, and hot dogs are $4 or so.

So, this is really a bar, that just so happens does good burgers and wings. My boyfriend really loves this place, and their burgers. But pput a man in a room with High Def TVs on all sides playing NBA reruns and a big burger in front of them and you will probably find a bit of happiness. He has gotten the same burger both times we have gone. Its a big one with bacon, blue cheese and cooked medium rare. The fries are better than most. I have tried the veggie burger.. not good, but I should have known. Next time I got the wings and faired much better. One of my favorites for wings. The drinks were decently strong. Second time we went, we happened upon dirty bingo. While free to play, and funny... the guy is just alittle over the top sometimes. Oh well, comes with the theme? Not too far from fairvilla either, lol!

Decent burgers, if you can ever get service to order one. Seriously, how is this place successful if it takes 30 minutes for someone to take you order? I arrived at 7:30 on a moderately busy Thursday night. I sat at the bar with no less than 14 open spots, ordered a beer, and proceeded to be ignored for 30 minutes. Finally one of the bartenders came over and asked me if I wanted to order anything. I thought, "nah, I was quite enjoying being invisible", but since I had to work in the morning I decided to order anyway. I mean, I had plenty of time to memorize the menu, twice! Now I remember why I only go here on rare occasions.

This second, College Park location was my first time experiencing Graffiti Junktion's food, and all I can say is: I hope the Thornton Park location is better. I'd always heard such fantastic reviews of their burgers, but even if I hadn't known about those prior reviews, this place would still be a major disappointment. We stopped in on a Tuesday, non-Magic/Knights game night so the place was far from packed. We were able to grab a table on the patio immediately, and the server came to take our order promptly. She was friendly and great about refilling our drinks. Then we waited for our food. And waited. And waited. Then we made little tiny footballs out of our napkins. Then we waited some more. While you're continuing to imagine what it was like for me to wait, I should note it's not like we ordered anything crazy. All three people at my table ordered a burger and fries. Oh yeah, there were a few slices of cheese involved, but I don't think that accounted for our ultimately hour and ten minute wait. Once we got the burgers, we had one thumbs up, one "meh", and one "ugh!" between the three of us. My burger, ordered medium well, was burnt to a crisp. It was also tiny, looking especially pitiful on the huge bun in all its charred glory. The fries were average at best. I'm thinking this place might work best as a bar on game night, one where you can, conveniently, order something to put in your tummy while you cheer on your favorite team. As a restaurant that specializes in burgers and just so happens to have a game on the TV, though, it just doesn't work. I'll give GJ another shot, as every restaurant has off nights, but so far I'm not impressed. Parking is available on Edgewater, or in the lot behind the restaurant.

Honestly disappointed. I was told it was one of the best burger places in Central Florida and it wasn't. I got a Wimpy burger with burger sauce, avocado and fries. There was too much bun for the patty. I asked for it to be cooked medium and received it well done. The meat was a bit dry. The fries had a good flavor aside from being assaulted from all the salt I had to dust off. The sweet tea was more like sweet syrup which I had to dilute with half a glass of water. Had I not been starving I would've sent it back. All in all, very disappointed.

Great Drinks and Food

At the restaurant, I was thinking 4 stars. In retrospect, I've given it 3. I will say this: the burgers (I tried some of my dad's as well) were fantastic. Certainly worth 7-8$. But not 10-12$, which is what you will end up paying. Comes with fries, yes, and granted we are on Edgewater so the rent is high. But speaking for myself, out of my day-to-day price range. Seating is rudimentary with picnic tables both inside and out, and some regular chairs (with wobbly tables to boot). Service was good time wise, though we didn't see much of our waiter aside from ordering, getting our food, and getting our check. Normally I like to see a friendly and involved waiter, but we were in a large group, so I suppose it's fair. Wait time was not too bad, considering I was starving (which may have impaired my initial ability to judge fairly). Adding up all the pros and cons, I would say it comes out to an above average. I would recommend this place, that is to say, if it weren't for the many other places that are just better. I mean, come on; this is Orlando! Anyhow, 3-stars means if you're in the mood, go check it out and see for yourself. P.S. It would be a great place to watch a game, but what about Scruffy Murphy's? :S

4 Stars for Graffiti Junktion! Hands down, my favorite place in College Park! Whether I'm making a quick stop in to satisfy my burger craving on my lunch break, or meeting up with some friends to share a Bucket O' Beer during the game, GJ pleases every time. What I love most about graffiti is its affordability. I never leave (no matter how many drinks i've had) feeling like I've paid too much. They have a great happy hour that goes from 4pm-7pm and then from 10pm-closing time. I have stopped in and stumbled upon all sorts of events from live music to trivia contests to a rather raunchy game of bingo (turns out they call it Dirty Bingo and it happens every Saturday night. *Just leave the kiddies at home). Now, I'll get into the food. It's certainly not a gourmet, white-tablecloth experience, but it IS delicious. I usually build my own burger to suit whatever mood I am in that day. My boyfriend loves the zucchini fries appetizer so we get those every trip. Another great item is the Nachos, which come on a big pizza fan and are PERFECT for sharing with friends on those nights when you're posted up drinking beer. Can't say enough good things. Graffiti stands out from Jax, Scruffys, Wildside, etc. because their food is leaps and bounds better and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and the fun kind of people you'd like to hang out with. Thumbs up for GJ, I will continue to return again and again.

Great specialty burger and sports bar. If you want a burger with cheese, egg and Canadian bacon, THIS is the place to go! I've had better burgers, but they are few and far between. One downside: If you're there to watch sports: Only half of the TV's are tuned into HD broadcasts, which causes weird timing and delays. You see plays in standard definition before viewing them in high def on the TV right next to it. Very odd viewing experience and it takes the thrill out of live HD sports.

Best lunch spot in CP. Best bar too. Grab a beer, burger and zuke fries. You won't be disappointed.

amazing veggie burger, good service and great atmosphere!

food just ok to me but I would give it another go if i was in the area

We decided on the College Park location hoping a laid back atmosphere and thats what we got. The service was good and the beer was cold. The burger was delicious just like @ Thornton park. The crowd was mixed with families and young single adults. This place has alot of tvs for sports.
(5)Eric L.
Great homemade style burgers, and the fries are nice and crispy. Try it you will like it.
(4)Dara E.
Had dinner there with a friend and the service was awful, our waitress was really slow and not friendly at all. I will not be returning to this location.

The boyfriend and I went last Sunday night, because I had gotten home late from work and there aren't very many places open after 9 on a Sunday. My boyfriend goes all the time for lunch and recommended it. I feel very neutral about it. We grabbed a seat at the bar and watched both bartenders mill about for a few minutes before they even greeted us, which is my biggest pet peeve. The bar was not that busy, and if I could have seen them working or making drinks for other guests I wouldn't complain, but they weren't, they were talking to each other and not paying attention to their job. Grrr... We were a little early for their late night happy hour but we both needed a drink, I got my usual amaretto sour and there was something off about it. I don't know if it was their sour mix I didn't like or what, but it just didn't hit the spot the way I wanted it to. In regards to food, the boyfriend seemed to enjoy his wings and my turkey club was pretty tasty. I loved the fact that it came on sourdough and that it was fresh sliced turkey as opposed to deli slices. I substituted a loaded baked potato instead of fries, and I don't think I got charged extra (maybe for the loaded toppings, but not for the baked potato instead of fries). I would definitely go again, probably get a different drink and keep my fingers crossed for better service. I noticed they had dog bowls in their host stand so maybe we'll bring our dog next time and sit outside and enjoy the area.

I love the GJ in Thorton Park and figured we would give this one a shot since we were on that side of town....and not as good as the other (which is weird bc same owners). We sat outside, which is fine, but I was getting attacked my mosquitos, not GJs fault but it didn't help make the stuff that was their fault any better. We ordered an appetizer, a burger for my boyfriend and a side salad for me. They brought everything out at once. I believe it was the manager that brought everything out and even commented "I bet you guys didn't want this all out at once." SO if he knew that, why did he do it? We ended up taking most of it home anyway, but it was just an odd situation. Our server was less than mediocre. She wasn't bad, but just had no personality and blah. On a positive note, the food was good. I would maybe try it again, because I do love the whole GJ feel...maybe it was just an off night for them and me.

I like the atmosphere and the food at graffiti junktion! They have very generous drink specials and always have a wide selection of games to watch on one of their many big screen tv's! I usually get the veggie burger, it is very filling and has a unique flavor and texture. I also like their zucchini fries.

I've been here several times, for a work lunch, weekend lunch, and weekend dinner. For lunch, it's got good food, but is a bit pricey for burgers and isn't very fast. For a weekend lunch to hang out and visit with friends, I would recommend the outside tables, because it'll be easier for conversation. In the evening, if you're looking for a loud sports bar, this is the place for you. The burgers are very good, very tasty. Be prepared for a lot of bun, though. I ordered the Fog City, and the combination of the sprouts, avocado, & tomato were really good on the turkey burger. The service we had was very quick and attentive, once we got their attention. Not a place for a date or to bring your family when a game's on, but good atmosphere and good, albeit a bit pricey, burgers.
