Mrs Potato's unique concept and great flavors quickly became a success in 2015 when it was featured on Fox35. As business continued to grow, it attracted more and more locals becoming a “hole in the wall”. National recognition came in May 2017. We were featured on Foodnetwork. Guy Fieri was blown away by the simplistic, yet explosive flavors this little joint had to offer. Since then, it has won many awards, and has been well reviewed by the most respectable food critics and bloggers from all central Florida and the US. If the idea of having a delicious and satisfying comfort meal, in an inviting Mom and Pop atmosphere suits you, Mrs Potato is the place to go. Meals here are huge, full of flavor, made with love and served with pride.

    This dining experience was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end! From the moment we walked in, Tracy was the best. The attention to detail throughout the dinner was great. Juan and Chef Michael were outstanding. The setting was intimate but very light and fun at the same time. Great music selection! The rice and dungarees crabs, literally chefs kiss, the mystery box finale was so personalized it was the best way to end the dinner. If it wasn’t so expensive I would come here once a week. Thank you for all the little details you put into making my mother’s birthday dinner such a memorable dining experience!

    Mrs Potato was a wonderful, unexpected surprise. It is located at the end of a strip mall, and it is not easy to find. Mrs. Potato is a cute, and cozy restaurant, with a friendly staff. We all ordered their signature rosti potato dishes with different fillings. They let us try samples of the different meats so that we would be able to get exactly what we wanted. We all enjoyed our dishes and we especially enjoyed the banana dulche de leche roll with ice cream. Mrs. Potato was a great find and we would recommend it to anyone visiting Orlando who is looking for a good meal at a good price.
