Nona Blue Modern Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (965) • $$

"Alright, let's talk about Nona Blue! This place is consistent - like that friend who always shows up on time but forgets the chips for the dip. The food? Absolutely spectacular, no doubt. But here's the twist - the portions are like that one pair of jeans that fit perfectly... last year. We're talking fine dining prices now, people! I don't remember paying this much for the same...I had the lobster pasta, and let me tell you, it was delish - like, call the lobster and thank it delish. But for $25? That pasta came in a side dish-sized bowl with a few chunks of lobster sprinkled on top like they were making a potion. Last time, I swear, I had more lobster and tasted way more like lobster too.Then there's the $11 small pour of Moscato, but hey, it was a date with my hubby, and we'll call it "romantic atmosphere." My husband had a New Fashioned for $16. But hey, drinks are drinks, right?Now, it was a chilly night, but thank goodness for their patio setup - cozy heaters made it feel like a warm hug. So, if you're like us, showing up without a reservation but full of hope and hunger, ask for the first available. The patio is surprisingly comfortable and quiet! But, between you and me, the indoor vibe wins - it's lively, neighborly, and bursting with energy.Pro Tip: Make a reservation on Open Table! You'll skip the waiting game, and trust me, this place is popular. Also, don't miss their brunch menu - much more bang for your buck, and those dishes? Chef's kiss.In conclusion, Nona Blue is like that friend you love to hang with, but sometimes you wonder if they're taking advantage of you... and your wallet. Would I go back? Heck yes, but next time, I'm asking for extra lobster!"

Keke's Breakfast Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.1 (893) • $$

"Fast service, clean atmosphere and more fluffy pancakes than you will know what to do with this breakfast restaurant is incredible"

Crabby's Oceanside

★★★★☆ 4.1 (880) • $$

"Wife and I are hungry and wanted to Enjoy the Ocean view so we stopped by to eat at this Restaurant! Bree was our waitress! Music was great food is superb, Bree performance as a waitress was okay. She forgot to introduce her self, she forgot to bring us waters, she forgot to bring us napkins and condiments, she forgot to bring me tartar sauce for my fish and chips and I had to ask her to kindly bring me sauce for my fish. Beautiful Ocean view though! She informed me that it was on the table already and she apologized for not letting me know because it was hiding behind my drinks. Over All I would rate this place a 4 star!"

Another Broken Egg Cafe

"This place never disappoints. I love their seasonal special menus and the prices are family friendly. They have outdoor seating as well. I highly recommend."

Lee and Ricks Oyster Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (772) • $$

"What an amazing-inexpensive experience! If you're craving oysters, raw or steamed, this is the place here people. John was our oyster shucker for the night. He was very friendly and informative which made it easy for us first timers. He was working through a tooth ache but still gave top notch customer service! John I hope you got your tooth fixed!! Mahalo"

The Breakers Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (699) • $$

"Ale soaked wood and the sounds of the sea make this beach bar perfect! Food's good and drinks are cold but it's the atmosphere that will keep you coming back"

Happy Snapper Seafood Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.7 (530) • $$

"It was good... I'm really into cooking so it's hard to impress me. I felt like I could make the same at home and maybe better, but for those who do not like to cook it was like having a home cooked meal. Grouper was a little too salty, but tasted fresh."

The Cheesecake Factory

★★★★☆ 3.6 (899) • $$

"Pros: *standard Cheesecake Factory layout and aesthetic *the same extensive menu *friendly staff *rewards program *delicious food *large portion sizes *coke products Cons: *this location gets particularly busy in the mall -- people blocking all pathways and not caring at all"

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."

Luke's Kitchen and Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (653) • $$

"First time at Luke's and it was for happy hour so it was a win win. Bartenders were nice and attentive and the hour hour menu was well mixed with food, drinks, and desserts. All at a really,really,good price.The apple collins were delicious and so were the calamari. Chip and dip hit the spot. Wings were an 8 out of 10. I would pass in the deviled eggs in the future.They are having ac issues from what it seems, lots of build up of condensation so becareful were you sit, otherwise water will drip on you, as it did on me."

Chef Mickey's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (804) • $$$

"It's funny how this place gets some pretty divided opinions. Some folks (like myself) are big fans while others complain it's overpriced with meh food. Here's the thing, this is a character dining experience with guaranteed access to five of the most popular Disney characters that you'd otherwise be spending a ton of time trying to hunt them down for photos that you'll wait hours for. This place isn't meant to be one of the elite dining experiences so people should really manage their expectations for the food, which to me isn't as bad as some make it out to be.Compared to other Disney buffets, this place is actually better than average. The food you get here is better than what you'd pay for at the crystal buffet at Magic Kingdom or the similar character dining/buffet equivalent at Hollywood Studios. It might be as exciting to the palate as say the character dining buffet at Animal Kingdom, but this place in general is pretty good. Their carving station is always solid, the salad bar and peeled shrimps are always dependable and they have a good sized dessert bar with plenty of options. Their cupcakes are always a hit for us. The characters come out pretty frequently and on good nights you might get a rare chance to take extra photos. This place is also a no-brainer for people who like to stay the Contemporary like myself, or want to hit up a character dining here before taking the monorail to or from Magic Kingdom. The contemporary also has a pretty big arcade and gift shop right next to Chef Mickey's so there's that as well. I usually try to come here twice during each visit because the kids love it so much. I definitely would suggest this place over most Disney buffet/character dining option choices."

Metro Diner

★★★★☆ 4.3 (562) • $$

"Cannot say enough good things about this place! Very clean, including the bathrooms. The service was wonderful. Our awesome server, Sammy, was very helpful with recommendations and modifications. The food was amazing. My husband got the friend chicken benedict and said it was the best benedict he has ever had. I got the strawberry griddles. Strawberry pancakes with strawberry cream cheese, crumble topping and fresh strawberries! Did not disappoint at all! My son got the kids chicken and waffles and he said it was "fantastic." 10/10. Will definitely come back for another visit."

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (676) • $$

"Really cool spot, but quite pricey. Came here for my company's holiday parter. The lines were long, but they moved fairly fast. There is a limited amount of tables and seating inside and outside. There is an inside and outside bar. Service was a tad slow, but they were packed all the time I was there. Still, the service was good.The food is pretty amazing. Make sure the check out the pics. They had a holiday themed menu. Yummm, yummm, yummm."

Tusker House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (652) • $$$

"This was the first restaurant we had to snide the Disney parks. It set the bar real high for the others. The buffet was awesome. So many great options. I ended getting a bit of everything in multiple trips. So many flavors. To top it off you get a visit from some of the characters. This was a great choice. Depending on when you go reservations are recommended."

The Crystal Palace

★★★★☆ 3.6 (745) • $$$

"This is by far my favorite lunch spot in Magic Kingdom and my favorite character dining experience in Disney World. For the price, the dining options are great. The buffet food is surprisingly awesome with salmon, shrimp and grits, prime rib, and more! Service is amazing and you get plenty of character time and photo ops. My two year old niece absolutely loves it! We brought family visiting from out of state and they loved it. They were very mindful about our allergies and made sure we felt comfortable. This is a great spot for a family experience!"

BurgerFi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (620) • $$

"Excellent burger and chicken sandwich! The chicken was so crispy and delicious I couldn't stop eating it, while I'll admit I was starving after flying into Florida this morning without eating anything before I left. This place hit the spot. My wife had the wagu beef burger and it was amazing too. The server was awesome, a very nice young lady brought us our food and stopped to talk to us for a while. A very charming young lady."

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."

Whispering Canyon Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (543) • $$

"Whispering Canyon Café is a playful experience wrapped in a unique, rustic lodge setting. The beautiful decor and spacious tables or cozy booths provide a comfortable atmosphere for everyone in the party.The real treat here, though, is the service. If you haven't been, prepare for playful sass from the servers; it's all part of the experience and adds a fun twist to your meal! Our server, Wendi, was incredible, balancing the humor with genuine attentiveness to our needs.The menu itself is a fun journey. I started with the Toasted Marshmallow Coffee--a creative mix of Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon, toasted marshmallow syrup, Joffrey's Espresso, and a rich, house-made cold foam with a toasted marshmallow on top. The drink alone was a highlight and got us revved up for the day ahead.For breakfast, we went for the Morning Skillets, a generous All-You-Care-To-Enjoy spread. It included fluffy buttermilk-cheddar biscuits with sausage gravy, firm scrambled eggs, well-done hickory-smoked bacon, sausage, and Mickey-shaped waffles. With toppings like strawberry, maple syrup, and whipped buttercream, it made for a satisfying, hearty meal.Overall, Whispering Canyon Café offers a blend of great food and memorable service, making it an experience as enjoyable as the food itself."

Miller's Ale House

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (756) • $$

"This pub is part of an Eastern-US chain and one of several locations in Orlando. Of the 112 locations for Miller's in the US, the majority are in Florida. This location on International Drive was nestled amongst a plethora of other restaurants which presented a multitude of options. But my colleague fancied a pub for dinner, so we stayed with this choice.It was very busy when we arrived. We put our name on the list for a table for five and were told it would be 45 minutes. To their credit, it was more like 25 - 30 minutes before we were seated.It was packed with a noisy crowd. We were seated by the bar which exacerbated that condition. Despite the fact that it was a busy night, however, our waiter attended to us right away and did a fabulous job keeping up for our entire visit.Our party of five sampled their beer and wine options. I had their house red which was quite good. We started with Calamari and the Miller's-size TexMex Nachos. The latter featured melted cheese, guacamole, jalapeños, salsa and sour cream. These two proved to be a good start for us. For our mains between the five of us, we tried the Wings, the Philly Cheese Steak, the Prime Burger and Mimi's Fiesta Chicken and Shrimp (x2). I had the latter and was quite happy with the taste and the portion. Likewise, I think all of our party were quite happy with their respective choices.Our expenditure for the food, drinks, tax and tip was about $46 per person. This was a reasonable value considering the quality of the food and the overall experience. If you're in the area and appreciate pub fare, this place is worth considering."

Shin Jung Korean Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (496) • $$

"I love coming to Shin Jung Korean, I use to come more before they be built but I'm happy to say the interior looks clean and new but the same set up, which is nice and familiar. I started with green tea which was much needed on this cold day. To eat we ordered fried beef dumplings which were very juicy and tasty. For dinner we had the beef bulgogi and kalbi short rib. The meat was very tender and loved all the sides, my favorite side was the cucumber kimchi. The service was ok but it was late so I'm assuming our waiter was tired, the food speaks for itself. She wasn't needed but never for anything I asked for. Overall, one of my favorite places for Korean."

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."

Miller's Ale House

★★★★☆ 3.5 (620) • $$

"This location used be one of my haunts when I was a young CP. They used to have drink specials & service industry nights all the time, not so much any more. This place is good for what it is - a sports bar. We were a VERY large group, celebrating a retirement. This place is great for big groups and the service was amazing! Our server was like greased lightning and gave us wonderful, individual attention. Their menu is very stereotypical, and as a vegetarian, there is really not much on here for me. Do I recommend? If you like sports bars then yes, this is your spot."

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."

Beaches & Cream Soda Shop

★★★★☆ 4.1 (442) • $$

"We're back. I'm having the Reuben again on the Grilled Cheese bread since I'm not a rye bread fan. (But I do like rye whiskey- go figure.)Mike quite enjoyed the Grilled Cheese, add ham, with Tomato Bisque.And he topped it off with his favorite dessert - a Fudge Mudslide.We definitely like the current offerings at Beaches & Cream and will be back!"

Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (626) • $$

"Never disappoints. Best ribs and chicken fried chicken with gravy, corn, and mash potatoes. Great kids meal options and good portions on everything. The service was great by Chay and she was always there if we had a question or refill. It always feels like going back home to eat and I always try to come here when Im in this part of town. Definitely will be back."

Columbia Harbour House

★★★★☆ 3.7 (528) • $$

"During our visit to Magic Kingdom, while standing in the queue for Peter Pan's Flight, we were feeling hungry. Thankfully, Disney's mobile app made it easy to order food online from Columbia Harbour House and schedule a convenient pick-up time. We ordered the plant-based crispy mushroom roll, the chicken platter, and beverages. After completing our ride, we headed straight to the counter at Columbia Harbour House, where we picked up our food.Starting with the plant-based crispy mushroom roll, it was a pleasant surprise. The mushroom filling was well-cooked, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the fresh, soft bread. Even as a plant-based option, it held its own and was a satisfying choice.Next, we tried the chicken platter, which featured crispy chicken tenders paired with fries. The chicken was cooked to perfection--crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside--while the fries were the perfect side, seasoned just right. It was a hearty and comforting meal, especially after walking around the park.For anyone visiting Magic Kingdom, Columbia Harbour House is a solid choice for lunch, combining convenience with quality."

Fish On Fire

★★★★☆ 3.7 (520) • $$

"We went on a Friday night so it was pretty busy. The staff was very nice and helpful. The live music was nice but if you want to chat with a friend, I recommend sitting outside. The musician, Jeff Howell; was great. FoF features some good local acts. No cover. We ordered hush puppies as a starter and I had a combination shrimp dinner. It was ok, my sides were a little too salty. But otherwise ok. My friend had the shrimp and grits and she said it was a little bland. The surrounding area felt a little sketchy, but I can't say that I felt unsafe."

BurgerFi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (488) • $$

"Very good burgers at a fair price, but the fries, they Rock...! I'm not from here, so I am glad Yelp found this place for me."

Pickles New York Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (414) • $$

"This is my all time FAVORITE lunch spot in Orlando. I talk about this place so often that it may even be borderline embarrassing. Regardless, I will never stop talking about Pickles. You can tell that Pickles is a regular spot for many in the community! They always have customers and orders coming in. I usually stop in on the weekends - definitely the busier time of the week for them - but never have an issue with finding a table. I'm happy to sit outside and bask in the Florida sun and see all the cute dogs that come to visit the outdoor seating space. Service is attentive and friendly. The food is always great and comes out pretty quick . There is so much on the menu to choose from too! Pickles is a wonderful, family friendly spot and is highly recommended."

Swampy's Bar & Grille

★★★★☆ 3.8 (471) • $$

"Fun and beautiful, right on the river ambience. Friendly service the food was delicious too. The fish sandwich was huge and very fresh. My sweet potato fries were perfect, and the cinnamon honey butter took them over the top."

Another Broken Egg Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (445) • $$

"I met a friend here for breakfast this morning. This location is sorta tucked back and a good little drive from I-4. It sits in a newer looking plaza on the end. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a bar that opens up to the outside. We arrived at 9am on Saturday, and were able to get seated right away in a booth. The interior of the restaurant was very cute and clean. There was a main menu, drink menu, and a seasonal "fall" menu. I ordered the pumpkin waffle from the seasonal menu. The waffle is also served with 2 eggs and either bacon or sausage. I opted for the sausage. Everything was very good. I liked that the waffle was pumpkin flavored but also came with pumpkin butter on top and chopped pecans. The eggs were scrambled nicely, and the sausage seemed homemade and very tasty."

Keke's Breakfast Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.9 (441) • $$

"I had previously eaten at the Keke's in Boca Raton. They are a chain that opened in 2006 that is based out of Orlando with locations all over Florida. According their website "Keke's Breakfast Cafe is dedicated to providing an outstanding breakfast; a meal where everything is handmade, using the best ingredients available, with fresh fruits and vegetables that are delivered daily, and using the highest quality bread and dairy products." They pride themselves on service, cleanliness, and quality and I can attest I experienced all three at Keke'sBefore heading out to Universal Studios for a day of theme park fun we were looking to fuel up on a filling breakfast and my daughter suggested coming to Keke's. There is only inside dining offered here in a room decorated in warm neutral colors. Large colorful paintings of food hang on the light brown walls. It looks almost identical to the Boca restaurant. All of the tables are booths which I love.We both started with coffee and my daughter got a breakfast combo with eggs and pancakes while had the decadent apple cinnamon French toast. They have a huge breakfast menu filled with waffles, pancakes, French toast, omelets, and combos and a lunch menu of wraps, sandwiches, paninis, burgers, and salads. We were both so full from breakfast that we didn't end up eating again until late at night when we left the park. While not the fanciest of restaurants, Keke's is a solid option that can be depended on to deliver a delicious meal at a good value."

Junior Colombian Burger - South Kirkman Road

★★★★☆ 4 (418) • $

"Good food. They messed up my friends order and the order in front of us though, so I guess be careful about that. They did make both of them right though"

Blackbeard's Inn

"Went for Happy Hour and ended up having an early dinner. Prime rib was excellent as were the ribs. Very nice server who took good care of us. Although it was crowded everything was ordered and served very quickly."

The Tap Room at Dubsdread

★★★★☆ 4.1 (396) • $$

"Other than being a little overpriced this is a wonderful place to go out to eat! The food was very delicious and they had a ton of options. The service was great and they have a real Christmas tree at the hostess stand right now! The ambiance was great and if you sit outside and it's cold they even have heaters so don't worry too much weather wise while on your way."
