There is a TGI Fridays located right next to Seaworld off International drive.
Also near Seaworld off Idrive is a Dennys and a KFC.
Or there is a shopping center down Central Florida Parkway, which is the road that runs through the Seaworld entrance. There is a cool little locally owned place to eat called "Subs Plus" It serves really good Pizza and subs and sandwiches. Or right next door to Subs Plus is a "Publix" grocery store if you want to buy something cheap to make yourself.
If you want to dare I4 at Seaworld, Universal and Disney closing times, you could take the almost two mile long, 15 minute (Because you will be stuck in traffic) drive down I4 westbound and go "Crossroads" which has a bunch of places to eat. Olive Garden, There is a cicis pizza, Some fast food places like McDs and Taco Bell, A Perkins. There is a steakhouse also. Just to name a few.
There really isnt anything "upscale" near Seaworld. Unless one of the hotels in the area has somewhere nice to eat. Ive never stayed in a hotel in the area so I wouldnt know.
I usually go for the Pizza myself when I go, so I have only tried the Chicken Parm sub. It was pretty good. I have never had subs or Pizza from the Northeast or Chicago so I dont know how to compare it, but my guess is it is not the same and the northeast or chicago subs or Pizza would probably be better.
