Food options in Orlando

[DufflesMcGee]

I am real foodie guy and have eaten virtually everywhere in orlando. Looking for somewhere new which is just great food. whatever price is fine as long as its fair for the quantity and quality. For example, went to eat at a high end chinese place and they charged $20 for 4 dumplings! and the dumplings were decent at best. hence, not worth the money

Lmk if you know anywhere good!.

Ok I might sound like I'm joking but you seriously gotta go here before you die. The worlds largest McDonald's. That place is INSANE!!! 2 floors, a arcade and a normal resturant. There is a ice cream bar, tons of cool vintage statues and theming and it's one of the only McDonald's to have a Mac tonight AA (creepy moon face on the piano) if you want something classy avoid this place but if you want to see a really cool resturant with a ton of history and fun in it then by all means go for it. Went after the transformers grand opening and it made the day even brighter

I don't live in Orlando and most of the resturants I've tried are at hotels, but it is possible they might validate parking if you go there just to eat at one of their resturants.

We have really enjoyed a few great meals at the Italian resturant at the Hilton in Bonnet Creek. The Waldorph there has a Bull and Bear that I thought was far better than Shula's.

We once ate at the restuarant at the Hilton Orlando (near the convention center (I think it had a guys name like Steven's or Michael's or something). I was pretty surprised by that one, but only ate there once.

And it's not even the Bistro McDonalds

It's not unique to Orlando, but try Orlando Ale House. Eat at a Miller's Ale House anywhere you see one. Fantastic food and good drink specials.

Standard list. Bahama Breeze (a Darden chain, but a great Darden chain). Seasons 52 (ditto, but pricey). Columbia and Celebration Town Tavern in Celebration. 4 Rivers Smokehouse in Winter Garden. Yellow Dog Eats in Windermere.

Ok can someone who's been to the worlds largest mcdonalds back me up here? It's super cool for the novelty factor alone....and it has pinball

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I swear by 4 Rivers if all you've eaten is on WDW/UOR property.

 

[DisneyDoof]

Just went to cedars of off sand lake road. Best middle eastern food ever. Also the pasta bar at portofino bay is amazing. But overall my favorite restaurant is fogo de chao.

Texas de Brazil Churrascaria is pretty good.

A majority of the restaurants on Park Avenue in Winter Park are simply fantastic. Beautiful part of town too.

I went to it for some quick food before my flight home. It was awful! Dark and dingy, the queues didn't work properly, and the food was cold!

Dark and dingy? That doesn't sound like the worlds largest mcdonalds/the best resturant ever to me. You are talking about the giant building with all the fries on it right? Looks like a tourist trap?

 

[Hockeyman55]

Seriously we are talking about a McDonalds, sure its not your typical Mcds and really only good for a quick stop in when your broke or drunk Obviously its something on almost ever other street corner in this county so why not try something different while on vacation. Let me add that I have been in there multiple times and usually when im either budgeting and want to eat super cheap or later at night after some of my past crazier nights but if money permits its not even on my radar really.

Red Robin is about to open on Idrive, hear they have some awesome burgers

It's not for the food it's for the experience.....and the pinball.

Honestly I've never eaten anywhere nice per say at orlando because I'm either driving to or from it. I know I'm breaking the rules here but I really dig the new citywalk restaurants. They are completely unique and indie chains that just blow my mind. Anojitos might just be my new favorite resturant and cowfish isn't even open yet. Keep in mind I'm not a foody guy (I like mcdonalds) I'll seriously go anywhere, eat anything and not notice the shrimp is cold or that's actually a cooked badger so take my opinion for what you see

I agree, I love the direction they are going with the unique new Citywalk offerings. Really just depends on my budget on where im eating on a particular trips. Im not knocking down the McDonalds idea, it is what it is, but with so many other unique offerings in Orlando I wouldn't recommend it even with the all mighty pinball machine
