Thanks for the help.

So what are the all you can eat lobster places like? I mean, I have done the all you can eat crab legs at Red Lobster when they used to have it & it was good. Are these places worse? Do they have menus for the kids who just eat burgers?

boston lobster feast and international lighthouse lobster feast are two.

Well I'll tell you one to avoid...Angels. The lobster was tough, I couldn't even eat it. The crab legs were edible but I can get better at the local chinese buffet. The prime rib was good. I went for the early bird when the prices were a little cheaper but it was very crowded with a real long line. I wouldn't go again.

Not a seafood eater myself, but from talking with people who are, they do not get many positive reviews. I believe they have some non-seafood options (prime rib, for one), but not sure about just a burger for the kids.

I am so glad for your feelings about D'Antonio's. We are planning a celebration over Thanksgiving for our 50th anniversary. We have children and grandchildren and went to D'Antonios last month and really enjoyed lunch (just the two of us grandparents). We enjoyed the menu and service and thought it would be ideal for children from 11 to 15 as well as adults. It is always good to hear from others who have had good experience-------but parking???????/
thanks

Hi there!

I am extremely directionally challenged and need a bit of info from someone.

Thanks to all the interstate signs and practice from my many trips I can find my way to the DW easily now.

I had figured out how to get to the road that runs past Crossroads (what is that road called?) and know about the Ale House and Golden Corral (better for bkfst than dinner imo).

This last trip I took some advice from a poster and found my way from the AS Sports up the hill toward AKL (Sherborn) through a small access road to some main road. (is that 192?) We ate at the Red Lobster up there and the service was awful and the food not much better.

If someone could set me straight on the names of these two roads and suggest good places to eat on either one of those I would appreciate it as we are headed back in a couple of weeks.

I dare not stray further away for the sake of the poor locals .

the road that runs past the crossroads is 535. 192 runs up past he AK area, but I'm not sure about that access road you took or what's off property in that area.

 

[SlightlyGoofy]

Sylvester, thanks for the info on the Crossroad area. I bet it is 192 that I am talking about on the other because you take the road up toward AK and then veer left at the light on Sherborn?? a bit of a ways and it takes you out onto a major intersection with loads of stuff.

I do not like getting on or off interstates in ordinary situations let alone in areas where there are many as ignorant as I around.

The best family friendly restaurant we have found in the area is Mimi's Cafe in Kissimmee. It is on Osceola Parkway. Take a look at their web site at www.mimiscafe.com Good food, great prices, pleasant atmosphere and large servings: Gotta' love it!

1. The Melting Pot (on Sandlake) www.themeltingpot.com

3. Taquitos Jaliscos in Winter Garden (with live Mariachi!)

4. Dixie Crossroads (the original one in Titusville)

5. NYPD - new York Pizza Deli...in Metrowest area.

is Sweet Tomatoes still in business? is this a chain or a locally owned business? we're going in Nov and I'd love to visit based on what I've read here. Of course finding it . . . well, that's another story!

Yes it is still in business, yes it is a chain. (I know of 3 in Orlando, a couple more in Tampa.)

Not that hard to find--just hard to get there. It's in a shopping center at Kirkman Road and I-Drive; if you are at or near WDW, best bet is to take I-4 East, then take the Kirkman exit toward I-Drive. Theoretically you could just drive all the way up I-Drive, but I don't recommend it.

Bahama Breeze
Cafe Tu Tu Tango
Rolandos (up in Casselberry, but worth the drive for excellent Cuban food)

Sherborn?...I am so totally thinking you must mean...Sherberth Road.

This was a good place to eat at on the drive between MCO and WDW. The food was very fresh, and good...the only downside was a lack of protein. A fair amount of veggies, a fair amount of bread/carbs. The only meat we found was chili, chicken/potato soup, and a few scant pepperoni. A little more meat, and I'd have really loved the place.

 

[K&KsMom]

IMO Girodano's food was horrible. We ordered a little bit of everything in Feb. YUCK! The pizza tasted like it was from the freezer, the pasta was average, and the service was horrible!

We have yet to find a really decent off site restaurant that isn't a chain.

If you limit "off-site" to 535/192, I tend to agree (Pebbles in Crossroads would be my lone exception, and that used to be part of a chain). However, if you head up Palm Parkway to Sand Lake Road, you can find quite a few excellent non-chain restaurants, as well as excellent "chain" restaurants that are a step above Fridays/Chilis/Bennigans.

According to Orlando Dining Guide, it's gone, sorry. http://orlando.diningguide.com/data/d103336.htm

Anecdotally, I would note I haven't seen any ads around for it, used to see quite a few. Seems it's getting tougher for family-oriented busineses to make a go of it on I-Drive.
