5. Park restaurant.......The French restaurant in Epcot
6. Seafood.................Fultons Crab house at Downtown Disney
7. Italian.....................Carrabas, also like Alfredos at Italy in Epcot
8. Overall favourite..... Too tough, Citricos or California Grill or Seasons 52

[CarolAnn]

1. IHOP suits us for breakfast.
2. Cracker Barrel was more interesting than we thought it would be.
3. Tony Romas, fab ribs
4. Chinese take away only for me too,China 1 at Champions Gate gets my vote on this.
5. Brown Derby at MGM was great.
6. Like Red Lobster, been a few times with other friends.
7. Italian..umm as such not done pure italian.
8. Very tricky, probably go Red Lobster here for me.

[CarolAnn]

I have just been told ...which is fair..we actually prefer Bran Flakes/ fresh fruit from Publix at the villa most of the time for Breakfast...but they have all enjoyed an IHOP breakfast in my house too[msnwink]

[wrightbuxton]

1. Bob Evans for us...their breakfast crepes are just heavenly
2. Chillis
3. Longhorns
4. As with the others we have only had a Chinese takeaway from
China 1 at Championsgate but it is lovely....mmmm bourbon chicken[msntongue]
5. Although it's not actually a Park the California Grill at the Contemporary Hotel is great and with views of the MK fireworks.
6. Red Lobster
7. Olive Garden every time.
8. Either Olive Garden or Longhorns.

I am sure you will have a great time DIKKO trying out all these recommendations[msnsmile2]

For number 3 definitely Manny's for us. I tend to make my own pancakes for breakfast then sit by the pool and eat them with fresh fruit.

[palmvillas]

1 Cracker Barrel
2 Market Street Cafe (Celebration)
3 Mannys
4 China 1 at Champions Gate
5 Brown Derby MGN
6 Fullertons Crab House
7 The Italian at Celebration
8 Cheese cake factory at the Mall at the Mellenia.

There are many more restaurants that are all fab hope you have a good time trying some of them.

We always find that Bob Evans is good for breakfast, and Olive Garden is good for Italina, but the overall winner for us has to be Mannys. Ribs and steak are fabulous, but I can give the potatoes a miss. You also get a great salad bowl to start with. For price and quality, you can't get better.

[MTP]

1. Breakfast - Market Street Cafe
2. Family Dinner - Cracker Barrel
3. Steak/Ribs - Celebration Town Tavern
4. Chinese - Don't tend to do
5. Park restaurant - Liberty Tree Tavern
6. Seafood - Fulton's Crab House
7. Italian - Olive garden
8. Overall favourite - That would be really tough, must do for us is the Whispering Canyon Cafe

No pizza/mexican options?

[CarolAnn]

Add one MTP... this has been a useful thread[msnwink] Have added a few " Must tries" to my list :)

[MTP]

Carol,

No wonder you're not getting any packing done!![msnwink]

Okay:

Pizza - Pizza IL Pepperoni, Champions Gate
Mexican - Enjoy both Chevys and Chilis, although we have had not so hot dining experiences at both as well.

(actually I was just stalling while I thought of them!)

[CCollins]

Personally we love

1. Denny's for breakfast
2. Family Dinner - Cracker Barrel
3. Steak and Rib's - Wild Jacks on IDrive
4. Chinese - Never had so can't help
5. Park restaurant - Mythos Islands of Adventure
6. Seafood - Fultons Crab House
7. Italian - Olive Garden
8. Favourite - Cheesecake Factory - Mall and Millenia

Now I am REALLY hungry!

[ahagan]

Breakfast - IHOP
Family Dinner - Bahama Breeze
Steak/Ribs - Charleys steakhouse
Chinese - Ming Court (or China 1 for takeaways)
Park restaurant - Rainforest cafe @ Animal Kingdom/Downtown Disney
Seafood - Red Lobster
Italian - Olive Garden
Overall - CheeseCake Factory

Its hard to decide between some of the restaurants. For example for Italian I find both Carrabas and Olive Garden excellent.

[julieanne]

Breakfast - IHOP
Ribs - Tony Romas
Chinese - PF Chang
Seafood - Red Lobster or slightly more expensive McCormick & Schmidt
Favourite - too hard, Cheesecake Factory, Bahama Breeze, Changs.....

Thanks everyone for your recommendations, spoilt for choice now and going to be hard to choose between them. At least i now know which are the cream of the crop and am really looking forward to sampling what they have to offer[msntongue]

[pieman790]

Some our family went to the Cracker Barrel for dinner and said they had the worst meal ever. They even did not have license to sell beer. Has it changed hands recently? We went past last November and the car park was full.

We personally like the Macaroni grill, Olive Garden, Outback, TGI, Chili's, IHOP, Perkins
