I would add Olive Garden or Carrabbas

If you like Chinese PF Changs is superb ( beside the Mall at the Millenia)

Columbia in Celebration, Carrabbas, Cheesecake Factory, Charlie's Steakhouse; that makes it look as if anything beginning with C will do[msnscared]Oh and I do like Cracker Barrell for breakfast.

The Cheesecake Factory.Manny's,Olive Garden,The Peabody Hotel.Seasons, Sweet Tomatoes, Carrabbas, Mimi's Cafe. Should I go on?[msnsmile2]

for us.....
Shake N Steak..... for snacks, theyre lovely
Johnny Rockets....again for snacks, brilliant.....
IHOP good for a pancake snack but leavesyou full up for hours!!!

we enjoyed eating at Ruby Tuesdays......
Logans roadhouse...... think thats what its called where they throw peanut shells on the floor...
we tried Olive garden...... very nice and a bit different


we tried china buffet i think its called, it was awful.... (orange fronted 192)
TGI's was good but we tried again and didnt enjoy as much as before....

Hi Paula

I would definately recommend chillis on the US27 near Wal-mart/Lowes, TGI's Fridays at the Crossroads just past the Market Place Downtown Disney, they do the Jack Daniels Sauce[:P], and if you have children with you it's next to Pirates Cove Golf. Also Bubba Gump at City Walk Universal.

Would avoid Cracker Barrel (only gave it a try because some friends recommended it, but service was rubbish, didn't get what we ordered and everything was deep fried[V].
Rain Forest Cafe at the Animal Kingdom, it's the only time I have returned a meal, it was stone cold, they asked me if I wanted to re-order and I said I would just have a bowl of soup as everybody else already had there meal, but it took another 30minutes for it to arrive,
and it was only luke warm[V], so I left it(was worried I was going to get food poisoning). Sizzlers and ponderosa I would also give them a miss. Also Black Angus on the 192 the meal was ok but before we left went to use the restroom and to say the toilets were disgusting is putting it mildly.

There is a resturant called FISHBONE there is one I believe on east sandlake rd ,Not been to that one yet but we went to West Palm Beach and it was exellent the fish is good but they also do great steaks .
We like Cafe Antonios in CELEBRATION .
Another we go to LONGHORN on the 192 that is good for steaks .

We like Bone Fish Grill, Manny's, Chilis, Orlando Ale House, Market Street Cafe for breakfast

Dislike Cracker Barrell and Ponderosa.

We enjoy Thai Thani and Tommy Bahamas on I Drive, plus Ruby Tuesdays after shopping in Florida Mall, and Cheesecake Factory after shopping at Millenia.

It is making me hungary thinking about food!

I have had fantastic meals at The Celebration Town Tavern & Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville and places like TGI'S, Black Angus and Bennigans have always been great too.

Bad experience at the Salt Island Chop House on international drive where our meals were raw and had to be sent back twice. Also the waiters really tried to sell us everything including $17 bottled water and $200 wine!! Shame though as I love the tiki torches outside!!

Last time we were in Orlando three years ago we took a drive one night and ended up eating at a superb Steak restuarant am sure it was called Durango's. When we left there was some sort of Classic car show just down the road. We would love to go back there this year so has anybody got any ideas of where this could be and if Durango's is the rght name.

Just reading this post makes me wish I as in Florida right now! Only 7 weeks to go and we'll be sampling this delicious food again.

some of our usual haunts are:-

Mannys (US27)
Olive Garden
Smokey Bones
Chillis
Outback
