Fresh Med. Market at Dolphin for breakfast.
Big River Grill at the Boardwalk is fun for lunch.

Cabana (lounge by the pool at the Swolphin, its really relaxing and the food is honestly shockingly fantastic, lots of great seating options for lunch)
Il Muliano (Swan)

Less budget friendly, but worth consideration:

Bluezoo
Bull and Bear (Waldorf)
California Grill
Flying Fish

How can I forget Il Mulino?? One of our ultimate favs and although it may not seem "budget" friendly you can split a lot of their pasta dishes or even request a 1/2 portion...

Exactly! I wish all restaurants would offer half portions. I might actually order entrees again...

Seconding Olivias at Old Key West. Nice place, good food and atmosphere. Budgety.

Via Napoli splitting a Pizza is a good option. Can get a salad addition too.

My next try for casual is the Turf Club at Saratoga.

I second The Wave and Kona Cafe - I think there is a sushi bar attached, too?

Also - Grand Floridian Cafe, which is often overlooked because of the signature restaurants at the GF. The food was REALLY good, and we ended up going there a few times for B and D on our last stay at GF. It's a nice setting, a nice view, almost never a wait (yes we actually walked in). Breakfast is only a few $ more than Gasparilla Grill, the counter service place, you have more options and a much calmer, humane experience. And the food is GOOD. Dinner was very reasonably priced, too, and you have an overall fine dining experience. It's a pretty restaurant, and you have the GF to walk around and explore. I actually like it a little better than The Wave because it has windows.

Edited: I actually went and looked at the Disney Food Blog review - and remembered - the BREAD at dinner is SO GOOD. We filled up on warm bread before our food even got there, my 4 yo ate like 3-4 rolls with butter that melted on because the bread was so warm.

GFC, Trail's End, the lounges...
