Tin Roof Orlando – A Marvelous Music Venue with Bona Fide Brunch and Bar
Tin Roof Orlando is more than a live music venue and more than a bar – it’s a space made by musicians for musicians. Whether they’re performing on stage or kicking back with a drink and a great meal, Tin Roof is a haven for music-makers and music-lovers alike. Everyone is welcome into this tight-knit community of friendly crew members, live music, and better-than-bar-food menus – including the spectacular signature Tin Roof Orlando Brunch Menu.
2 Venues Under 1 Roof
The Tin Roof Orlando offers two sides of entertainment: the original sound stage and the Green Room. Each features its own stage, bar, patio, and more. The two areas are connected through an outdoor patio, which gives an amazing view of the Orlando Wheel and Icon Park. You can take your pick from either side, depending on what kind of vibe (and music) you’re in the mood for. Either way, you’re in for the best live entertainment in Orlando!
Tin Roof Orlando Events and Entertainment
Tin Roof Orlando features something new every day. As we said, this is more than a simple music venue plus a restaurant. They have a lively events calendar packed full of activities featuring local musicians (including unique Orlando-based acts), Drag or Music Bingo, and trivia nights! Be sure to check the calendar on their website so you can visit during your favorite kind of event!
A Musical Menu
At the Tin Roof, you’ll find a menu that’s a cut above regular bar food. Start off with their world-famous queso, Nashville hot chicken dip, or fried pickles with a side of spicy ranch. Or, for a truly unique bite, try their sloppy nachos with queso, barbecue sauce, pickled jalapenos, crema, and BBQ pork!
Whether you’re just getting a bite to go along with a beer or kicking off your entire evening meal, their starters are really something special!
Entrees
One of our favorite things about the Tin Roof Orlando is how eclectic it is. It offers a great mix of Tex Mex, traditional American grub, and more.
Tex Mex
We love that Tin Roof Orlando chose to highlight Tex Mex on their food menu. You can order a smattering of tacos for an assortment of flavors, like chicken tinga, pulled pork, pulled chicken (with your choice of tasty wing sauce), and “Merican” (ground beef chili rolled in caramelized Jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and spicy salsa).
Not in a taco mood? Try out one of their quesadillas! You can’t beat their classic “Chicken & Jack” with tender pulled chicken and jack cheese (with an added wing sauce if desired!), but you also can’t go wrong with the “Street Corn,” a quesadilla stuffed with charred corn, Jack cheese, spicy mayo, cotija, cilantro, rib rub, and lime for a spritz of freshness. Their South X Southwest is a perfect medley of flavors, featuring Jack cheese, pulled chicken, oven-roasted tomatoes, avocado, and barbecue sauce.
American Eats
Grab a salad or sandwich from the American side of the menu. Their featured sandwich is the “Nashville Hot Chicken” – served on Texas toast with ranch potato salad and pickles.
Make sure to round out your meal with sides like mac and cheese, ranch potato salad, and crinkle fries!
Featured Menu: Tenders and Wings
We can’t think of a more quintessential bar food than chicken tenders and wings. Get a 5-piece for just yourself, or up to a 30-piece to share with the whole table. With your order, you’ll get a choice of signature sauces like honey hot, buffalo, tenniyaki, whisky buffalo, Nashville wimpy, Nashville hot, chili brown, and more. Every time you go, you can have a slightly different experience just by switching up your sauce. (Though we suspect that if you ask your server nicely, they might give you more than one anyway.)
The Brunch Menu
Brunch at Tin Roof Orlando is no joke. If you stop by on the right weekend, you can enjoy some Rock ‘n’ Blues Brunch or even Reggae Brunch.
And let me tell you, this menu is where Tin Roof’s culinary side really shines. While their main menu mostly features an elevated bar and finger foods, their brunch menu switches it up with some funky creations you’ll want to savor and share.
Take the chicken and donuts, for example. This fresh take on chicken and waffles consists of tender pieces of buttermilk fried chicken paired with old-fashioned donuts. The whole dish is topped with syrup, peach jam (for a bit of freshness), and pecan butter (for rich nuttiness).
Or consider their Kentucky hash browns alongside honey roasted turkey, tomato, spicy cheese sauce, bacon bits, tobacco onions, and a side of spring mix and roasted tomatoes. We also like the look of the Chonky-Donky, an all-out Cali burrito loaded with steak, spicy tater tots, guacamole, crema, tomato, pickled jalapeno, queso, and Jack cheese.
Of course, it’s never too early for a cheeseburger. If you’re ready to make the dive into typical lunchtime fare, look no further than The Comeback Burger. Featuring smoked cheddar, tobacco onions, bacon, an over-easy egg, tomato, and Mississippi comeback sauce, this burger will solidify brunch as your favorite meal of the day.
But sometimes, nothing satisfies like some good old-fashioned eggs, bacon, and toast. Go for the Egg ‘N Cheese R’Way – Tin Roof Orlando’s version of a brunch classic that’s sure to leave you happy and full. It includes soft-scrambled eggs, American cheese, bacon, and Texas toast.
No matter what you order, we recommend adding a side of toast and peach jam for a bright, fresh taste with your meal. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness!
The Drinks
There’s a long list of beers on draft, as well as canned and bottled options. And sure, you can get a glass of wine here. But we recommend looking at some Tin Roof Favorites to sate your thirst.
Tin Roof Favorites
Everybody loves a frozen drink. That’s why Tin Roof offers frozen strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas in sizes as large as 48 ounces.
We also love the look of their cocktails. The berry mule is a refreshing blend of berry vodka, berries, and ginger beer. The huckleberry pink lemonade is a fresh take on a classic. Or you can try their take on the classic painkiller tiki drink (rum, crème de coconut, and pineapple and orange juice, all blended with a sprinkle of nutmeg to add warmth).
Their signature is a riff on a spiked Arnold Palmer, which they call Tin Roof Tea – it’s vodka, strawberry lemonade, and iced tea. Or try the salty watermelon margarita – salty watermelon whiskey, triple sec, lime, and sweet and sour.
Featured Red Bull Cocktails
Tired of the same old Jagerbombs every Friday night? You’re in luck! Tin Roof has an entire menu dedicated to Red Bull cocktails.
Game of Thrones fans will enjoy the White Walker, which combines lemon vodka and coconut Red Bull. Tiki drink lovers will enjoy the Tropical Tequila (tequila, orange juice, and fruity Red Bull Yellow Edition) and the Banana Bomb (banana rum and Red Bull Yellow Edition). Or for easy sipping, try the Watermelon Limeade (Deep Eddy lime and Red Bull Red Edition). It’s a refreshing pick-me-up if you’re tired after a long week, but aren’t ready to turn in and head home just yet.
