Hi everyone!
What are some good (reasonably priced) offsite and onsite restaurants you can recommend.
Kathy
 
hey baba,

I would definately reccommend the Olive Garden
and Ponderosa-(3.99 all you can eat breakfast buffet)
We really enjoyed these places.
Hope this helps.

I would recommend Pizzaria Uno, and Chilis. (Pizzaria Uno at Crossroads, and Chilis just a little further up that road). These both had great food and good value for your money.
For onsite, I like Character meals. My favourites are Crystal Palace, and Chef Mickeys.

We love the Steak 'n Shake just up a bit from Crossroads!;)
 

Chef Mickeys DEFINITELY!!!!
We also like Beaches & Cream for burgers and Casey's for Hot Dogs and Wolfgang Pucks for delicious PIZZA!!!!!

I have some WDW food reviews on my web site.
Just follow the link below!
 
I would also second the Ponderosa.We only ate here and at the McD's(the real big one)and the Nascar Cafe at Citywalk when we last went.
At Disney,definately Chef Mickey's and the Crystal Palace.You can just stuff yourself at these places.There is also nothing like the hotdogs at Caseys.
 
If you're looking for something that's healthier on site, try the restaurant in the Wonders of Life at Epcot. We had a delicious late breakfast there one day. Whole wheat waffles with fresh fruit and frozen yogurt! Cosmic Ray's in the MK has a pretty good family meal deal of a whole barbeque chicken with all the fixings, and it was a fairly resonable price. We had the character meal at the Grand Floridian. Not cheap but really great!
Off site, we had a good meal at Jeff Foxworthy's Barbeque place. We again got the family meal and it had enough food for 3 adults and 2 kids. It had chicken, ribs, corn on the cob and coleslaw.
 
Glad you asked!
