Mouthwatering American in Orlando

Johnny's Other Side

★★★★☆ 3.5 (191) • $$

"It had been years since I had been to Johnny's Other Side. We decided to go one Sunday to watch the football games. Overall, a great place to watch Sunday football, as they have the NFL ticket. Kid friendly too, however, since it is "outside" so smoking is allowed. Food - not many items on their menu. However, on the weekends they do have a brunch menu too. Brunch is served from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Food was decent and came out quickly. I had the turkey Rueben. Drinks - they have drink specials on the weekends aka "liquid brunch." Plenty of beer choices to choose from and a huge selection of bourbon if that is your thing. They also have the Heineken 00 which is a huge hit for me while being pregnant. I still can partake in the football vibe. Overall, a great place to spend some time on the weekend."

Storybook Dining at Artist Point with Snow White

★★★★☆ 4.2 (115)

"Very happy with our character dining experience. We took the ferry boat from our hotel at the Contemporary to Wilderness Lodge. As every review here mentions, you get to see the Evil Queen (our highlight of the meal; she was a hoot!), Snow White, Dopey and Grumpy. Decorated like we are in the forest - it was cool. Its a pre-fixe and you cannot choose the appetizer or dessert - just the entree. Wish you can choose your own appetizer - it was rather lackluster imo - mushroom soup was so gritty - we didn't take another spoonful. My girl hates shrimp, so more for me, and the meatballs was the best thing, but she did also have her own kids menu. The desserts was also another threesome plus surprise chocolate at the end - The little mousse apples was for sure the highlight for desserts. The pork shank was good and very filling and was very happy with the prime rib. Our server was nice enough and made sure we got a picture with all of the characters. Evil Queen is hard to find to take picture anywhere in WDW, and my girl really wanted to take a pic and get her autograph, so happy we came here for that."

"If you like country down home diners then this is the place for you.Fast and friendly service and great food!"

Charlie's Kitchen & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (13)

"Great place for a cheap and tasty breakfast they are fast and I have different options between Pancake French toast eggs sausage bacon sandwiches steak salmon definitely should give it a try it's a little hidden gem"

Sweet Mamas Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.8 (523) • $$

"Service: the servers were very nice, we got a table almost immediately. They were nice enough to bring my daughter coloring paper and crayons. Food: subpar, my poached eggs were completely overcooked it was no longer runny. Flavor was okay. The potatoes didn't have any flavor or seasoning, it was just potato. My husband enjoyed his sandwichPrice: Fair, we paid $34 for 2 adults, 1 child.Ambiance: cute breakfast spot, very family friendly. People are pretty close together but everyone is nice. Parking: this is located in a plaza. Easy to get close by parking. Rated 4 stars because my husband loved his sandwich and the service was fantastic. but I probably wouldn't return. There are so many breakfast spots around."

The Yardery

★★★★☆ 3.8 (136) • $$

"Great first-time experience at The Yardery the night of the Sanford Christmas Parade. This is the perfect place to bring friends and family to catch a game while actually playing a few (cornhole, ping pong, etc.). Lovely servers take your order and are quick to offer suggestions, if you'd like. I went with the Yardery Burger (next time, it will be the fish tacos which were also recommended) and fries. The burger is a double smash burger with candied bacon, fried onion, and Yard Sauce - scrumptious! I don't think I waited more than 5 or so minutes for my food to come out - wow! Everything was great and, while I sat at the bar, it looked like everyone around me was having a great time. I definitely recommend this dining jewel just off Downtown Sanford - it's a few extra steps away from the hubbub of Downtown, but it will definitely be worth it. Yum!"

Big Kahuna

★★★★☆ 3.8 (18) • $$

"My party and I came here instead of venturing out when we wanted some drinks late at night. Everything on the menu is reasonably priced and tastes wonderful. Exceeded my expectations for a resort bar. This bar is right beside the pool. I ordered the drunken monkey and Kumoho Revenge. The drunken monkey tasted great and the Revenge drink packed a heavy punch. Good times without leaving the resort"

Cousin Vinnies Family Sports Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.6 (154) • $$

"Absolutely the best Chicken Wings in town. Tried the Parmesan Cheese with the wings and wow - delicious Service is awesome and place is perfect for watching the game or hanging out for a drink"

The Pinery

★★★★☆ 4.4 (284) • $$$

"We had amazing food, service and atmosphere. One thing that really stands out is when a manager comes over to ask how everything is going.Your cocktails are so priced that it's ridiculous!$17.00 for plain vodka up$25.00 for old fashioned $25. OO 1 oz Phistle Pig !"

Buffalo Wild Wings

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (169) • $$

"Food was great! Our first time at this location. The service was phenomenal we sat at the bar area to watch some games and we couldn't have asked for a better place to come watch the game. Wings were cooked thoroughly! Fries were delicious, we usually order the garlic parmesan fries!"

Osteen Diner

★★★★☆ 3.8 (116) • $

"Just your typical country diner. I came here for breakfast and ordered a chili cheese omelet - delicious. They are very generous with their portion sizes. Even though the omelet was huge, they still serve it with 2 sides. The waitress made sure my coffee cup was always full. Very reasonable prices, speedy service, and friendly staff. 4 stars."

Omelet Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (536) • $$

"Nice! Perfect namesake, cute little place with cutely shaped omelets. I love their lobster omelet, though I'd get the lobster bisque on the side, a little salty. Good coffee, great service - fast, fresh, and as healthy or not as you'd like! Definitely would venture here again if I ever end up in the area for some breakfast."

Polk City BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (124) • $$

"Great local bbq spot. I pass it all the time on 33 and would have stopped to eat here a long time ago. The pork was perfectly tender and the Mac n cheese was super creamy. The baked beans are savory, not sweet. Our server was very kind and speedy. It's a very casual place with locals and passer-bys sropping for good bbq. Stop in, you will love it!"

H & M Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (46) • $

"Little restaurant right off 17/92. Not too appealing from the outside neither on the inside, typical family dinner, but breakfast was good. Good old southern breakfast. Main dishes, 2 eggs any style, choice of home fries or grits, choice of bacon, sausage, or ham, biscuit or toast. Similar to a Dennys restaurant but, to me, better. It's a place where locals come from all ethnicities, love it. Many of the knew each other so it's was fun to watch and hear. My daughter ordered home fries with gravy.. a new to us, gravy was delicious and also a side of bacon.. nice and crispy. One thing that some people may not like is the fact that they don't add salt to anything including the hime fries but I personally like that I can control my salt intake. Overall, after a not so good visual impression, I really enjoy my breakfast. They also have omelettes, pancakes and French toast.I am definitely going to be back just for their grits. Yummy. Restaurant is small so by the time we left there was a line, so that is a good sign. I'm giving them 4 stars because the place needs a little bit of upgrading."

JoJo's Country Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"Love places like this for breakfast. Food was great tasting. Service was a little slow but they were very nice."

BoVine Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (116) • $$$

"They accept the reservation but they don't note the details of the reservation, Open Table. I made reservation for outside seating, and upon arrival, they took us to the back of the restaurant. as we were being rushed to our table, I asked my dinner guest if they had a preference to which they said no. Once seated, our server arrived, and was professional and very cordial. Unfortunately the attention to detail and follow up was not the best. I ordered the Mac & Cheese and was served the cauliflower and cheese. Once they were swapped out I wished I would have kept the cauliflower as it had more flavor. I had the filet which was quite tasty. I asked for no butter, but unfortunately that did not occur. My dinner mate had the strip and it was not top of the list. Overall not impressive food or service for the price, but has potential. I would recommend giving it a try."

Catfish Johnnys

★★★★☆ 4.1 (113) • $$

"Food is super wonderful and one of our fav spots now. Our friends are from Massachusetts and said this was the best seafood they've had here in florida!"

Milkhouse

★★★★☆ 4 (136) • $$

"Who doesn't love a good food hall vibe with solid options for just about anyone?? This place delivers on both atmosphere, drinks, and food. They have a full-scale bar, a sit-down restaurant, a bagel shop, ice cream shop and coffee shop. You'd be hard pressed not to find something to enjoy. There is a mix of seating, and you can order up at the register and get a number to have food delivered to your table, or you can order a drink directly with the bartender at the bar. We were most recently here during an art festival out on the street and enjoyed some drinks and recovery food after walking around. Overall: A+Great food hall, solid option mix, great atmosphere."

Lake Minneola Tiki Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.7 (220) • $$

"What a great place to grab some food and drinks! I did visit this place on a whim after being at a brewery nearby but I definitely consider this place a hidden gem. It's almost like a sandbar that's on land. You can even rent a boat. It's not the most glamorous of places but it does make me feel like I was transported back to the 90s on a lake in Arkansas. Mostly older folks, sadly it was cloudy and didn't get an opportunity to see a sunset. Solid recommendation!"

Half Wall

★★★★☆ 3.5 (223) • $$

"Food was yummy but portions were small IMO. I never finish an entire dish, I prefer leftovers for a late night snack, however this time I did and was still a little hungry. Ended up eating part of the buttered sub roll that didn't have any of my bf's chicken cheesesteak on it and used that to soak up some of the yummy Alfredo and fill up a little more. His cheesesteak needed half of the roll, it wasn't full of meat at all. Overall, food was delish, had great service, seated quickly, games on for bf, band playing for me. Tons of stuff to do outside. Literally would only change the portions of offer bread or a soup/salad as a side perhaps with the pasta? The chicken cheesesteak definitely needed more meat though. Not even half full on roll. Nice sized menu and great service!"

Metro Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (827) • $$

"Good food at a good price. The restaurant was clean and inviting. There was room for groups and families or smaller booths for friends. Luckily fot me, I had a $5 coupon that I used on this visit. I intended to bring half my food home but it was so delicious that I cleaned my plate. Our server was friendly and extremely helpful. I definitely plan on returning to try more comfort foods."

Cracker Barrel Old Country Store

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (196) • $$

"We went here for lunch. I was so excited to go on Friday so I could order the special "fish fry platter". It was cooked perfectly. Always love fried okra with ranch for dipping. Do yourself a favor and order apple butter with your biscuits. Drooool. Our server was fantastic. He was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our experience from start to finish. Pro tip! Sign up for their new rewards program. We got a free biscuit beignet and they were super yummy. There are other "bite" choices as well."

Friendly Confines

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (155) • $$

"Nice chill bar with inexpensive food. I prefer to go during the lunch happy hour and get the .90c claws. Sweet Tai Chilli claws are delicious and service has been good/quick lately."

Cricket's Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (16) • $$

"Hotel restaurants can go with way, luckily this one went the right way! My friends ate at the attached food court and I didn't see anything I wanted to eat, so I checked out the menu for Cricket's online and decided to check it out on the way back to our room. I'm glad we did! The food and drinks were delicious and the service was great! Definitely check this place out if you are staying at the hotel. The chicken Marsala was rich and tasty! The pestopasta and green beans that were served with it were also great. The bartenders made great drinks, to the rim, and thoughtfully entered appropriate conversations throughout the bar. I had such a great night!"

LongHorn Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (132) • $$

"This is one of my go to places for lunch and dinner. I always know the food is consistently good and the customer service is good."

Morton's The Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (288) • $$$$

"Our friends took us to Morton's The Steakhouse for our anniversary and it was nice. This was all of first time at Morton's so I got the 16oz. Cajun Ribeye on the suggestion of our waitress. It was very tasty especially compared to the other ribeye that my friend had. Our waitress was super helpful and courteous as was the assistant waiter. The ambience was what you would expect from a traditional steakhouse. All of our food was good, the lobster, the lamb chops and the oysters and thick cut bacon( probably the best of all) and of course the ribeye is something that I would order again. Overall it was a very nice restaurant and an experience that I would enjoying again."

Dapper Duck Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (136) • $$

"We were in town for the pop tart bowl and found a crowded bar with an empty table. Yay! My peeve is with the waitstaff. I asked if the stand up bar menu on the table was the only menu and was told yeah. Later, I saw a big lit up changing menu board on a wall, and realized most of the other tables were eating great stuff NOT on the little menu we had. We weren't that hungry, anyway-my husband just wanted loaded fries. But people were even having champagne brunches, and I just had a limited pick and got a Turkey bacon wrap. I will say, though, that it was a fantastic wrap. And the bar was lively. My bad luck apparently was a precursor to the football game. Oh well."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (276) • $$

"No complaints. Our server was Matthew, he was very attentive and took care of all our needs. Everything was as expected from an Ale House. We visited on a Sunday, so all of the TV's were playing various football games. I ordered the Zinger Salad, which is a hearty salad. I asked to add onions and remove tomatoes, which they kindly did. We would return to this location and would recommend it to others."

The Turf Club Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (148) • $$$

"Dined here for dinner with my mom. Absolutely amazing and orgasmic steak; I got an end cut it was superb. The server was a bit slow in timeframe wise. The drink is very strong and yummy, I got the Hibiscus Shaker. We had a 6 pm reservation but we were able to get seated early around 5:20. The inside of Turf Club is in the Saratoga Springs Resort on Disney Property. In order to dine at the turf club you would need it to make a reservation on the my Disney experience app or the website. If you do not want to park at Disney Saratoga but you still want to go eat at the restaurant; you can also head over to Disney Springs park in their parking lot and then take the boat over. They have a lounge in the front of the restaurant that has cocktails, a pool table and a card playing table.The ambiance of turf club is a fancy steakhouse. I definitely recommend!! 10/10"

Gator's Dockside Lake Mary

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (184) • $$

"Gator's Dockside has been around the Orlando area at least since I moved down here back in 2001 and this location, which is in Lake Mary, Florida, is a great representative of this Florida restaurant chain.Gator's Dockside has some great wings. That has always been my go-to at this chain. The atmosphere is fun and lively and the staff is friendly and helpful.Lake Mary, Florida has certainly grown and come into its own as a community. One of the great upsides of this growth is that more dining and nightlife options are available and you don't have to head to Orlando to grab dinner.This particular Gator's Dockside is a fun location and I would definitely recommend a visit to.this particular Gator's Dockside if you are in the Lake Mary, Florida area."

Long Shot Bar and Billiards

★★★★☆ 3.6 (10) • $$

"Great place , great company, and family owned! All the bartenders are friendly and respectful. The staff goes out their way to help you with any concerns you might have. The service is on point and food is great. They have the best wings in town!!!!!!!! We've been coming here for years and will continue to be patrons of long shots! Come down have a drink, shop at the stores next door and meet great people. When you come to long shots you're family !! Go see Mel, Susan, Andrea, alexia, and Jackie. Those girls are great and will take care of you !! Always a blast !!"

Shula's Steak House

★★★★☆ 3.9 (510) • $$$

"I made reservations in advance. We asked to come earlier and they were able to accommodate us. The place is really nice. This was a Thursday night, so lots of people. Our server was great. He went over the specials. I asked hom to bring me a cognac menu. I got a Remy XO. House pour of course. 30 bucks. My wife got the prime rib and was really tasty. I got the filet minon and it was perfect. For sides we got the Asparagus and mashed potatoes. So flavorful. Loved it. Omg I forgot about the bread. Just the right amount of crunch and Hella yummy.The food and service were amazing. I would come here again for sure."

The Hollywood Brown Derby

★★★★☆ 3.6 (896) • $$$

"We really enjoyed Thanksgiving here. The ambience was really nice with the characters on the walls and old Hollywood vibes. I got the signature Shirley Temple, which came with the ice light up cube which was really cool. Then we all got the turkey platter for Thanksgiving, which was absolutely amazing. Came with all the fixings. For an appetizer, we got the crab and avocado, which was amazing. I will be back to try more things such as their signature Cobb salad, and grapefruit cheesecake which they are known for."

LongHorn Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.7 (130) • $$

"Longhorn Steakhouse - A Juicy Delight!I had an absolutely fantastic experience on my birthday at Longhorn Steakhouse! The service was top-notch; our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.The star of the show was undoubtedly the Outlaw Ribeye. It was cooked to perfection, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. The portions were so generous that I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day.If you're looking for a satisfying steak dinner, I highly recommend giving Longhorn Steakhouse a try!"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 3 (158) • $$

"We go here several times a month mainly due to the reasonable prices, good food and atmosphere along with the great service we receive from a couple of our favorite servers, like Andrea and Brooke.They offer a monthly margarita of the month. It used to be $5, then went to $6. On Monday, it looks like it is now $7. The monthly Marg is premixed, but depending on the drink of the month, some have been pretty strong.They offer a wide range of food. Most people are probably very familiar with Chili's as it's a national chain but wanted to point out a couple things people may miss out on. The 3 for me deal is one of the better deals you can get here. In some cases, you are paying less for an entree than ordering it by itself on the menu, yet it comes with an appetizer and drink. The bottomless soup and salad is a good option when you want soup and salad and can't decide. You can choose house or caesar salad along with any of the soup choices. You don't have to stick with that choice when you get a refill and it's only $1-2 more than the standard single serve soup and salad entree.This location is managed well and looking forward to visiting again next week."
