Bland and a bit sad, like Festival Bay.
This mall has a really dated feel to it, and I can't really see myself being a regular here. The carpet in most of the stores is probably as old as the stores and a lot of the places have an odd, unpleasant smell. The theater looked okay from the ticketing booth but I did not go in. It felt like every third store was closed; the tough economy seems to have taken its toll on this place.
They have a "cajun" place in the food court (which is really just an asian place that serves bourbon chicken) and other standard mall food fare like Chik fil A, the diarrhea factory known as Panda Express, McDonald's, and a Charlie's. The Ruby Tuesdays has shut down.
This mall is wheezing its dying breaths, and I would not be surprised to see the entire mall shut down or repurposed in the next few years. -

Alas, West Oaks Mall has gone WAY downhill, over the past decade.
It was not thriving before the economic crash, and the failing economy seems to have dealt the Death Blow for this mall. How the remaining small stores remain open, I don't know.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, this used to be a reasonable place. Now it is overrun with the lower elements and is not a place you would ever take anyone to spend any time.
I wish they would just close this mall, once and for all, as it's become a magnet for ghetto spillover from Pine Hills. It's only dragging down the neighborhood. Let them keep Sears, Penny & Dillard's open, if they like, but give up on the rest. -

Back about 5 years ago this mall was kind of okay. Had a lot more stores than it does now. Dillards, JCpenny, and Hollister are only a few of the huge compaies that still operate in this mall. Many stores that occupy it are people selling crappy cheap shoes, costume jewelry, or ghetto clothes. Never go to this mall anymore. Very dirty, no one's there, and of course very ghetto. Always stared at or someones either trying to talk to me which I find gross. I definitely 100% don't feel safe in this mall! Go to Millenia

When I first moved to the Orlando area many years ago, this was the closest mall to my house. It was packed with people... busy all the time... and really was great. But over the years and with more upscale malls available, this has become the "Mall of the Damed!"
I went to the mall while waiting for some car work to be done. It was the only thing within walking distance that was of interest. I had not been here in years and decided to check it out. It was empty. I saw about 20 stores or so that were open but the rest of the stores were close and empty. I don't know how the one remaining stay open. The few stores that were open were hungry for customers and we were 'attacked' at the few we went into.
The only thing still going for the mall is the AMC theater. If it were not for that, this mall would be done. I have been in the mall/retail business for over 30 years and can tell you that this mall needs a major remodel or needs to be replaced.
I would not bother since there is truly nothing there worth going for. -

Would ghetto mall be politically incorrect? Well, I've heard that assumption of this mall from several people so I guess it has that reputation. It is very close to the Pine Hills area so a lot of folks from that area hang out at the mall. I usually only went there in the morning on a weekday and the place was dead. When I've been there on weekends it isn't much better. I remember when it opened and it was such a big deal!
A lot of the stores are closing and the mall is on the small side anyway. Cool stuff about the mall? It has a decent AMC theater attached and a carousel in the food court. That's about all it has going for it.
On a side note... We invited a couple friends of ours who are cops to the theater one night. They didn't want to go because of the supposed crime! These are cops! Well, I've been to the theater at night and there is always security around and honestly I never felt unsafe, but still, maybe they know something I don't? -

For all of those who live closer to Ocoee than they do Orlando, this Mall is probably very convenient and helpful if trekking to Orlando seems out of the question. It wasn't too thrilling, but not a bad place to shop either.
The major department stores were there like Belk, Sears, Dillards and J.C. Penney's as well as some of the common mall stores we have all come to know. Foot Locker, American Eagle, Hallmark, Express, Waldenbooks, etc. They also house an AMC movie theater as most malls do nowadays. The food court was very standard and didn't hold any really unique or delicious eateries. Panda Express, McDonald's, Chick-Fil-A, and Subway are basically what you can expect. They do have a Ruby Tuesday's if you'd like to sit down and be served instead of carrying a tray.
I did appreciate markers spread throughout the mall's thoroughfare that signify distance. Thus, if it was a rainy day and you were in the mood to walk, you could head to West Oaks and know how far you've gone. A nice way for people to build on a healthy lifestyle while window shopping and prime people watching. -

Wow this is a mess. The AMC theater has to be the worst I have seen.

I was here with my best friend just last weekend, and I don't agree with the other reviews I've read. There were lots of people in the mall on Saturday, and it was kinda loud too. The food court is OK, but the food was a little bland for my liking, but when you're really hungry, that makes no difference. The stores are very clean and weren't crowded at all like most malls I've visited recently. They have a fairly decent selection, and offers much more than Fashion Square, (ugh!). Other than that, it's not too big of a deal. Very nice, clean, cool inside, and smells pretty good thanks to their air fresheners. They also play music over the intercom, unlike many malls these days. That it a plus for me anywhere. I'd recommend West Oaks Mall for a day or night on the town. :)

West oaks, west oaks west oaks.. this is no longer a 'mall'. Only time I go to west oaks is if I need to buy something quick and I would only shop at Dillards, Victorias secret, gymboree or childrens place. Most of the 'good' stores have closed and only unknown named stores remain and open up.

I call this the Fashion Square of the West. This is a pretty standard mall for those living west of the city. It has all the typical mall stores as well as a large food court. And even the West Oaks 14 movie theater. No its not the nicest mall in Orlando and it doesn't have the most upscale retailers but for those in this area its a great option for your regular day at the mall. In the way of department stores you'll find Dillard's, JC Penney, Belk, and Sears. Express, As far as stores you'll find at every mall there's a Charlotte Russe, Holister, and American Eagle. There's also an assortment of accessory, bath and beauty, and jewelery stores completing the definition. West Oaks has all the ingredients of a mall, its ready for those who need to pick up a few things or do some heavy shopping and want to do so under one roof.
