Casual restaurants outside Disney, but close?

[linco711]

We are fans of the area across the street from Disney where Chevys and Perkins and others are leaving?They will all be closing there due to new road construction.
Can anyone tell me restaurants close-by with reasonable prices like these had? We don’t like driving long distances in heavy traffic anymore. Disney’s food prices on property are outrageous. We do a lot of cooking in our DVC room, but we do enjoy going out occasionally while we’re there. Thanks in advance for any information.

We always enjoy Miller's Ale House which is about a half mile from Chevy's.
There is a Macaroni Grill on not far from there.

 

[Minniesgal]

We eat at the Bahamas breeze which just 100 yards or so from there and the Smokey bones which is o e junction past the Walmart

What? When are they all closing? I love getting a couple bags and pints of chips and salsa from Chevy's for our room! Is the ABC closing too?

My husband loves beer! We’ll give it try. Maybe it will become a new favorite.

The whole plaza and surrounding area is being closed. We heard Disney purchased the property to expand their roads. It’s probably closed now. So sad Chevys will reopen at the Mellenia mall. It‘s an upscale mall about an hour away off Conray Rd. I was hoping for closer. We liked the convenience of that little plaza. It will be a big mess there for awhile.

It's closed now (we drove by this afternoon and the entire Crossroads area is blocked off and deserted).

The The Mall at Millenia is 12 miles 20 minutes from Disney Springs. It's close to Universal

It always took us about 40 minutes with traffic. Guess we’re slow.

I used Google maps. Sometimes it can route you around traffic There are tons of casual restaurants closer.
If you're staying at AkV there a ton of places on 192

That McDonald's had the most reasonable prices. The one on 192 West Irlo has jacked up tourist prices.

Actually the I-4 exit and interchange there is being reconfigured, not specifically Disney’s roads. So the state and/or the feds bought it. https://attractionsmagazine.com/crossroads-shopping-center-near-disney-world-closed-august/.

YES, YES ,YES to Portillos. I had been told by a dietician that you lose 36 minutes off your life for each hotdog you eat. If that is the case, I shortened my life by at least a day this summer. I am NOT a hotdog person either. I cannot wait to see all the other restaurants that open up in the area.

I did not see anyone post for First Watch. They are great for breakfast and lunch (close at 3 pm I think). I think of it as sort of a Panera mixed with a Kiki's but better. They have quite a few locations in the Orlando area so you most likely will be one close to you

PLEASE call ahead if you are going for breakfast at least in the summer. When you get there be sure to let them know or they will not call you.

Lol - yep, my husband knew that, always went out the AK side to get McDs. One of my fav cheap sit downs is Chuys. I know it’s a chain - but we discovered it here and don’t have one at home. Out waitstaff has always been awesome and super nice, and prices are very reasonable.

That said, I have a TripAdvisor list of non-chain (or at least, non-nationwide chains) cheaper resturants around WDW here: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Trips?tt=0ffc0f7b-32e4-471a-ae1f-1ff72d69c3a8
