Orlando Restaurants

Eat it all up!

Advantages: Cheap, under 5's eat free and lots to choose from
Disadvantages: Some may feel the food is 'cheap'

...us chose to go to Ponderosa for an evening meal on the recommendation from one of the group who had been before. I honestly couldn't tell you which one on International Drive it was as there is two but, as they all operate on the scale and order process it will still give you an idea what to expect when you eat at one of them. The chain: Ponderosa has five restaurants in Orlando. Two are on International Drive, two in Kissimee and one at Lake Beuna ...
...is the same for each Ponderosa but, I'd imagine they would try to keep them all of a similar size to make the most profit from having a buffet style restaurant. Meals: Ponderosa are open all day and serve three different meals. They are open for breakfast which includes all the usual breakfast items you expect such as eggs, bacon, sausage and cereals along with a variety of juices and tea/coffee. Breakfast is served between 7.30am - 11.30am and ...

Review of Ponderosa Restaurant Orlando

Bon appetite!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Possibility of queues (but they're worth it)

After visiting Orlando 5 times, i finally stumbled upon the Sizzler. I had never eaten there before, but then found myself there every night for a whole two weeks! There is a fair selection of food available, but as the sizzler is a steak house, most of the food consists of portions of meat. There is not alot of choice for vegetarians, but you can get a cheeseburger. The all you can eat buffet mainly consists of fruit and vegetables however. There ...
...you enter the restaurant, you may be faced with a long queue. This is especially apparent at busy times of the year like Christmas. However, due to the quality of the food, it is well worth the wait. There is a huge selection of steak available on the menu, all at reasonable prices. I can't remember what I had, but it was excellent. This view was mirrored by the opinions of my family. Included with the meal is an all you can eat buffet. The selection ...

Review of Sizzlers Restaurant Orlando

Aloha

Advantages: excellent food, lovely location
Disadvantages: costly, and no good for vegetarians

Ohana's restaurant is actually located within Walt Disney World, at the Polynesian hotel, situated near to the Magic Kingdom (the monorail from the park actually goes directly to the hotel). However even if you are not visiting a Disney park it is well worthmaking a detour to sample this unique restaurant. Ohana's literally means a place of family, laughter and sharing. The room itself is large and open and has views across the lagoon to the Magic ...
...are dimmed so that you can watch the evening fireworks. On entering the restaurant we were introduced to some of the staff and shown the Hawaian sign for welcome! Now for the important stuff - the food. The menu here is an all-you-can-eat feast. The tables are solid with a revolving middle section. Upon arrival at our table our appetisers were waiting for us. These included coleslaw with honey lime dressing, coriander chicken wings, sweet and sour ...

Review of O'Hanas Restaurant (Orlando)

what do I pick?!?

Advantages: very yummy food
Disadvantages: what do I pick?!?

The Cheesecake Factory is quite a large resturant chain in America. The restaurant located in Orlando is just inside the Mall at Millenia. The mall itself is lovely, so after spending a lot of time (and/or money!) you will need a nice big American meal. The restaurant it self can be quite dark inside and it is quite big so unless it is really busy you can get a table pretty quickly. It is very cosy in there and I think it has really nice decor. ...
...This restaurant must have the largest menu the world has ever seen with over 200 (yes 200!) dishes to choose from I wouldn't be surpised if people have mental breakdowns. But the thing to remember is although the starters and mains are gorgeous, it wasn't named the cheesecake factory for nothing. So try and save room for the slice of heaven that you will have after dinner. I suggest that if you are going to have a starter, when i was there they ...

Review of The Cheesecake Factory

Upscale Fondue Restaurant

Advantages: Fabulous Dining Experience
Disadvantages: Expensive, Very Popular - Need to Reserve Table

This upscale fondue restaurant is the perfect place for a romantic meal or a party. The menu, on first inspection, is quite intimidating. If its your first visit I recommend you go for the set menu which includes a salad, cheese fondue (served with bread and sliced apples, made tableside), your choice of entree fondue and the chocolate fondue dessert (more of that later). But be warned - arrive hungry!! You can choose between four fondue styles ...
...waiter then guides you through the cooking process/hygiene rules and gives you the cooking times necessary for each type of meat/seafood. Food portions are very generous but the waiters do not rush you and come to check on drinks orders at just the right intervals. Talking of drinks the restaurant features an extensive and very impressive wine list (which takes up half of the menu) and the cocktails are out of this world. For a celebration order ...
