good lunch spot at/near Boardwalk Villa?

[LaurieSal]

We are planning to have friends who live in Orlando meet us for lunch on our last day at Disney before we leave for the airport. We are staying at the Boardwalk Villas and don't want to stray far from there because we will need to catch our shuttle. Does anyone have any good suggestions for lunch? My friend will need to park easily. Looks like Kouzzina is not open for lunch. Flying Fishbone is too expensive and ESPN is awful. Is the Beach Club a viable option? How about the Swan or Dolphin?

We enjoy the Big River Grille and Brewery on the boardwalk for lunch. They have their own micro brews and great burgers and sandwiches. We always hit them for lunch when we are there. Especially on a rainy day since its a nice spot to get out of the rain and then you can just head into Epcot when it stops

Thanks, Jennylyn. So why does the Big River Grille get such awful reviews online????

We like ESPN but I will say although I have never been we have local friends who often travel to Orlando and they are fans of the Big River Grill - I just keep forgetting to try it sometime!

Big River Grill - our traditional BWV arrival restaurant! Great burgers! Love to sit outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately, it was about 58 degrees and raining when we arrived on 12/5. So we had to eat inside.

We like the ESPN zone. It is a nice place to watch games on TV. They have excellent food as well.

Captain's Grille at the YC is a good choice.

At the Beach Club, Beaches and Cream is good but just burgers and a couple other choices plus it's usually crowded.

Flying Fish is not open for lunch unless something has changed.

My choices too! We love lunch at Cap. Grille. The food is good and it's nice and relaxing!

ESPN is awful.

Finally, someone who agrees with me on that!

My recommendation would be Big River Grille. I go there at least once very trip for lunch.

Big River Grille. The beer cheese soup rocks.

I have to agree. Big River Grille is your best choice. It's right on
the boardwalk and has something that everyone will like.

I agree that Captain's Grille is a great place for lunch.
