Hey Dis friends

we are here at US/IOA (having a great trip) but need some help with dining choices. So far we've had Mythos, Finnegan's, The Kitchen, and the Island dining room at our hotel (Royal Pacific). So we could really use a couple more restaurant recommendations from you guys.

We need kid friendly places, we like pretty much any kind of food. Any good seafood around here??

Thanks friends!!!

We are having a great time, Express pass is awesome, no waits for anything, we love Royal Pacific, our room view is amazing. We can see both parks, all the coasters, the fireworks, etc. Speaking of coasters, the new Rip Ride Rock It has been running empty today, looks amazing!!!!!

Lombard's at the Studios has good seafood as well as Bubba Gump's at CityWalk.

I always enjoy MargaritaVille!!

phamton · 07-09-2009, 06:47 PM

Hard Rock Cafe is fun for the kids (the food is not spectacular though.)

jheigl · 07-09-2009, 07:24 PM

Another vote for Margaritaville....it's good food and large portions (in my opinion)...plus I'm a parrothead!

DisneyWalker44 · 07-09-2009, 07:35 PM

I was just there... ate at Jake's American Bar. Service was great - food was good - kids enjoyed it (don't let the "Bar" fool you - they had kids menus, crayons, etc.)

donaldduck352 · 07-09-2009, 08:14 PM

Lombards,at US like Metro said is very good.Also TcoupChoup menu at RPR is seafood oriented..

Darcy03231 · 07-09-2009, 08:28 PM

Here's another vote for Margaritaville or Bubba Gumps.

DeblovesPoohbear · 07-09-2009, 08:33 PM

Margaritaville!!! Besides the cheesebugers and margarita's, they have the best
quesadilla (spelling?)

damo · 07-09-2009, 10:14 PM

Sal's Deli at the PBH hotel has absolutely FANTASTIC pizza and salads!!!

fanoforlando · 07-10-2009, 07:30 AM

Waistin' away again in Margaritaville...

so thats my vote

macraven · 07-10-2009, 10:26 AM

HRC, hands down it will be entertaining.

There are some great things on the menu.
and then there are average items on the menu....

if you say it is your birthday, free sundae.....

Check out the menu at the Latin Quarters, not bad food at all if you like that type of stuff. i did.

Pastamore has some items on the menu that are great.
look at the menu on the citywalk website if you are in your room with the computer.

Gabes_mommy · 07-10-2009, 10:29 AM

The Hard Rock Cafe there is the test kitchen for the whole chain and they have delcious food IMO. DH and I ate at another HRC in Miami and were so disappointed - the one in Orlando is the best.

TigrLvsPooh · 07-10-2009, 04:59 PM

Thanks so much for all your replies!!! We ended up eating at Bubba Gumps, it was good. Today for lunch we ate at the Bula Grille, now tonight we are headed to Trattoria del Porto, I hope its good.

We appreciate all your help!!

MarkMichaels · 07-10-2009, 05:32 PM

Another vote for Margaritatville! We always eat there.

Here are a couple others that we really like -

Bob Marley - The Sun is Shining is our favorite, great flavor, ask for extra sauce (if you like a little spice, not overpowering spice, but great flavor)

Nascar has great wings and our kids always like getting a video game or two in while we are there. Last time we were there, the Nachos were huge! and great.

Pat O'Briens also has great wings. Last time we were there, we had a couple of Hurricanes and I can't really remember what we ate after that, lol. The Hurricane was a very tasty drink from what I'm told though.

About the only places we don't really like are NBA and Bubba Gumps. NBA's food seemed kind of bland last time we were there, and I think BG's is just overpriced for the quality of their food, but the atmosphere is really cool.

Have a great week, we'll be there next Friday!! Woo Hoo!!
