New Places on Hwy 27

Went back to Mannys yesterday and cannot beleive haow popular it is becoming. We phoned ahead for a table otherwise it would have been a 1 hour wait!
BBQ chicken is the best chicken ive ever had. Went to Chicargo uno on the 192 today and was not impressed. The food was average, service average, and the took some of plates away while my daughter was still eating and then put the bill down saying whenever your ready

Have been out to Orlando since I started this thread and managed to get a lunch and a couple of dinners in at Applebees at Berry Town Center. Thoroughly enjoyed them. They have a nice selection on the menu including unusual salads and rice bowls. We also tried a newly opened one at Hunters Creek but not so impressed - probably just teething problems.

When we left on 7 August, the Chilli's on Hwy 27 near Walmart was very near completion and hiring staff. Would guess it will be open in the next couple of weeks.

Best meal: Romano's Macaroni Grill at The Loop (prefer this location to their one on US 192).

WORST MEAL: Houlihan's. Kids' chicken tenders worst I've ever seen. Arrived cold with scalding hot fries. Sent it back. Got scalding hot tenders with original (now cold) fries. My well done steak was cold and red in middle. No apologies from staff. World's most stressed waitress, who proceeded to tell us she was having a terrible day and was on duty from morning until close. And that was at 5pm - god help any customers who she served later in the evening! And we made her day worse by not leaving a tip - well, it was already the most expensive meal we had had during our trip.

Went to Applebys last night. Good choice everyone managed to find plenty to eat. Staff were really friendly. Will definately be going back! So nice to have something just around the corner.

Tried the new Chillis restaurant at Champions Gate last night and couldn't fault it. Food was good, plenty of choice and reasonably priced, our waiter was very pleaseant and helpful. Very handy for us too! Oh yes... they were also doing 2 for the price of 1 Budweiser! [beer]

The Chilis at CG has been going a while now, it seems to be a regular haunt for some.

They have a happy hour every night btw

Tried the new Chilli's on 27 a couple of nights ago and it was great. So convenient for us.

Can't wait to try the Chillis on 27. It is a definite for a visit on our first day. Pam is there any sign of the KFC or Golden Corral yet?

No signs up Jill where are these going to be? Cagans Crossings is coming along there should be several new places open there soon. Signs up for Sherlocks, an indian restaurant (spoke to the people who own this and they are hoping to have this open by the end of the year. They reckon they signed the lease 5 years ago.) There is a chinese and several fast food takeaways. Also the signs are up for Gator Dockside which I think will be similar to Beef O Bradys and also a bar called something like Ricky Vitas latin bar!

Also a wine and beer cellar called Viceroys which is open already this is also owned by the people who are opening the indian restaurant. We are off to a beer tasting at the weekend[msnwink].

Should be great when everything is open and up and running as they are within walking distance from our villa[msnsmile2]

We were told there were to be near the Chillis, on the same side as Lowes. Sounds as if there is much more choice now though. Has to be good for everyone.
