Off-site restaurant suggestions?

[cd&kids]

Okay... I realize there are 10-billion choices, but I'm looking for a restaurant suggestion. We're staying off-site (Silver Lake condos...adjacent to Animal Kingdom)...and one night, I'd like to give the family a Disney break (and give our wallets a break!)
We're not picky eaters at all...and have three kids, one as young as 5...so our only requirements are family-friendly and cheaper than average on-site restaurant.
Thanks!

There are several eating places in the Crossroads, at I-4 and Rt. 535 that meet your criteria. Somewhat surprisingly, at least to me, the Perkins Pancake House there has an extensive menu, reasonable prices, and we have never had a bad meal. It's nothing fancy but has never disappointed us---and we've probably eaten there a dozen times, or more...good luck

Look no further than Jungle Jim's at the Crossroads plaza. It is good, budget-conscious family fun, with a good range of diner-type fare (and a HUGE range of burgers). Check out this reference to them:

At the Crossroads by Downtown Disney there is also a Chevy's mexican restaurant and Pebbles a bit more upscale but still reasonable and the is the Olive Garden(like 1 block in the opposite direction of I 4) .

We enjoy Pebbles. There's one at the Crossroads location. Recently ate there and had a great meal and great service.

You'll be real close the 192 where there are many restaurants - Bob Evans, Perkins, Pizza Hut, Dairy Queen, McDonalds, etc. Just to name a few of the chain reataurants!

Hi,

If you like steaks or ribs try the Outback on 192 next to Splendid China.
Try the blooming onion for starters (its brill!!!)

 

[Tense]

Well... I hope brill is something good in Scotland... Here is the US brill is a type of fish! I sure hope that blooming onion doesn't taste like Turbot! Just having a little fun!! Outback is great and the Blooming Onion ..well it's boss!

I second the suggestions for Pebbles at the Crossroads. True there are cheaper places nearby, but none can offer the same bang for your buck.

try the Chicken Vesuvio. Yum.

Tense - LOL! I believe "brill" is short for brilliant. Brilliant = excellent

How about Tony Romas anyone? I heard from someone it was a nice family style restaurant with chicken, ribs, pasta, etc. reasonably priced.

Heard that Bubbalou's Bodacious Bar- B- Que around the Universal area is goo. That is one person's opinion from my husband's office. Anyone care to comment? Thanks.
