The Crab Cooker is our Family favorite! There's one in Tusin and it's about 13 Minutes away from Disneyland. It's a local family run business. My wife's Salmon was killer too. Here's the link: http://crabcooker.com/mobile/index.htm
Here's a pic of my Dinner.
Just because you do not enjoy them does not mean others don't.
That's our situation as well Olive Garden is downright exotic when you live in Canada.
I completely get this!
We don't have Dennys or Ihop in Australia so it's somewhere we make a point of going when we visit. Even a trip to McDonalds is exciting as you guys have different things on your menu. The thought of going to a Walmart is enough to get these Aussies jumping up and down with excitement!
Please do yourself a favor and DON'T eat at Joe's Crab Shack or Bubba Gump. They're nationwide chains, and you're on vacation where you can eat almost anywhere, especially great locally owned businesses. (not to mention they're really not that good).
I am a well seasoned WDW veteran and know how to eat budget in the park. I also know that there are deals to be had outside the park. We are planning afternoon breaks and returning in the evening. Pizza outside the park is definitely cheaper than in the park. Earl of sandwich is on our list. We love this option in Florida. I am looking for family friendly sit down type places because those are definitely cheaper than table service in the park.I agree, eating off-site is not always cheaper. Feel free to ask how to eat at the parks on a budget- everyone will offer a lot of advice!
We like Mimi's, on Harbor, near the Hojo. not to be confused with Millies. If you sign up online at Mimi's they will email you some good coupons. Just don't do it too far in advance or they will expire. We love the breakfast menu, and muffins.
Exhusband used to love the Tony Roma's bbq. At one time they were a good, small, chain. Most locations have closed, at least here in WA. Last time we ate at the one on Harbor it seemed a bit dirty and service was not great.
We typically eat in the parks. We find that it doesn't really save much to eat out side the gates and the time spend coming and going cuts to deeply in to our park time. Park time is expensive, and shouldn't be wasted to save a buck a person on a meal.
We really enjoy pizza press, will never order from Marri's again after finding a hair in our food...
