The sweet potato fries are fine, the cucumber and onion salad is really good. I got fish and chips and fried shrimp. The shrimp were good. The fish was three small pieces; one was delicious, but the other two were weirdly flat and dry, like fried fish jerky. So, I don't know what happened there. My friend said her burger was delicious, so I added a star for that. The actual interior of the restaurant was nice, fairly small. Parking is a bit limited in this area, so be ready to walk a block or two if you're not lucky.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty cool. They have some really neat history behind a lot of things in the restaurant. The food was pretty good for the most part. The Filet Mignon Sandwich was really good! I wish there was more selection on the menu, though. Nothing on there really caught my eye. But they have a good alcohol selection. Our waitress was really nice and took great care of us. The 4 stars is mainly because of two other waitstaff. I listened to two waiters complain and talk about their personal lives for about 45 minutes. I normally wouldn't care, but they were so loud and kind of obnoxious. I was with my parents and daughter and was trying to enjoy time with them. My dad was being friendly and asked one of the guys a question, and the guy was really rude to my dad and complained about his long shift. (My dad had seen him earlier when they came in for lunch). My dad told him that he hoped his night got better, and the guy stared at him, said, "okay," and just walked away. It was really awkward and rude. I know this may sound ridiculous, because the rest of the experience was great outside of them, but it wasn't a great thing to go through that evening.

We have lived in Winter Garden before this place opened. When it did, we hoped it would stick around. It has, and it deserves to stick around. Since its inception, it has been a go-to place in town. Love it. My wife loves the burgers, and I like the cuban sandwich.

Why the name moon cricket?

Its not the best story, but its what they used to call cotton pickers that picked at night. They would sing songs and the slave owners would call them moon crickets. Not sure why they named the restaurant that.

Why is the restaurant named a racial slur?

They seem to completely ignore this in their website explanation. Would be interesting to hear from the owner. ​ In search of a name - While the restaurant was being built, we were in search of a name. At the time there were absolutely no places in downtown Winter Garden to go at night offering: Food, Drink and Live Music. We wanted a name that was catchy, whimsical and unique, and conveying the message of being a fun inviting place to enjoy great food and entertainment. After months of brainstorming came up with the name "The MoonCricket Grille." That was it, a fun hoppin' place. In that same happy whimsical spirit, designed a fun corporate logo with a big smiling Crescent MOON and a CRICKET jumping off the smiling moon's head.
