Our Story

Since 1993
on the Same Griddle.

One family started with a single storefront in historic downtown Winter Garden. Three Central Florida counters later, the ribeye is still sliced thin and cooked to order.

The Daniel’s Family

It Started With
One Storefront.

It began in 1993 on Plant Street in historic downtown Winter Garden — a griddle, a family, and a stubborn idea about what a cheesesteak is supposed to be. Ribeye sliced thin and cooked to order, on rolls baked fresh. Whiz or provolone, grilled onions if you want them, and nothing on the sandwich that doesn’t need to be there.

More than three decades later it is still the family’s business. The same people who opened the House in Winter Garden opened the Express counter inside Montrose Street Market in downtown Clermont, and then the counter inside Crooked Can’s food hall in Minneola. Three very different rooms — a dining room, a market stall, a brewery hall — and one recipe.

Same family, same grill, same standard at every counter. That is the whole promise, and it is why each store runs its own kitchen: what comes off the griddle in Minneola is the sandwich that built the name in Winter Garden.

The awards on the wall are all local, and all voted on by the people who eat here — the same neighbors who tell us, loudly, when something isn’t right. We would rather have that than a bigger sign.
