Offsite Restaurants

[Grumpy92]

South Orlando near the attractions has pretty much every restaurant you can think of. Then add in City Walk Restaurants and you have an endless choice. We often go to Mall of Millenia as they have a PF Changs, Cheesecake Factory and CPK. All restaurants we do not have in my town.

A lot of great ideas and a few bad ones. I just don't get how anyone can stomach Golden Coral, Ponderosa, Olive Garden and a few others.

The Celebration area, Pointe Orlando and Dr Philips all have clusters of good places to eat. If you are willing to drive a bit more, Winter Park has a lot of great places, many on Park Ave.

If you have a specific type of food you want people may get more specific.

Of the Brazilian steakhouses, I think Fogo de Chao is the best. I like Buca di Bepo, but think Maggiano's Little Italy is the same kind of place (Italian served family style) with better food.

Not every family can afford to pay $ 40 . + per person

That's the great thing about offsite dining -- plenty of choices for any budget.

We haven't eaten off site very much, but we loved Sweet Tomatoes!

Bahama Breeze -- it's one of the Darden restaurants (incl.Olive Garden and Red Lobster), so you can use gift cards there. They have little deals at happy hour, a nice mid-day break from the parks. And the decor is fun. The one by WDW has a little indoor waterfall setup.
