Restaurants

[aubreysmom09]

Can anyone suggest a few restaurants around the SeaWorld area? We will be staying at Marriott Harbour Lake, and want to stay close to the area to eat. Nothing seafood since I am allergic.

Casual or upscale? Family-friendly? Are chains okay or are you looking for something less generic?

Casual is fine. I do a mixture of chain and local. I sell commercial real estate, so I really like to support the local community. Sometimes it's just easier to find a chain KWIM. I do know I will eat at Girodano's once, because I become less home sick I don't get back to Chicago, but every couple years. I know of a lot of places in Kissimmee, but that seems like a hike.

There's a TGI Fridays right outside one of the SW onsite hotels....I am thinking maybe the Springhill Suites/Fairfield Inn?

Also, its a quick and easy drive to the south end of International Drive, where there's tons of different restaurants....Carrabas, Senor Frogs, Friendly's, Cici's Pizza, Sizzler, Olive Garden, etc. I wouldn't go as far as Sand Lake Road, though, as traffic becomes a real pain in the rump.

Giordano's is a favourite of ours, too . Love that deep dish pizza!!

Their is a TGI Fridays in front of the Springhill suites. That's where we normally stay. The only places we could think of was that, and the Denny's down the road, and if you take a left at that intersection a Wendys and KFC. We were going to go to City Walk, but I don't want to pay to park. Thinking maybe Cici's because their a groupon right now for $7 for 2 people. I'm cheap, and after our SeaWorld stay we are staying at Disney. Have to save somewhere

Like someone else said, there is a TGI Fridays, there is also a Dennys. There is a Buffalo Wild Wings which is kind of like a sports bar but family friendly. There is a bonefish grille in the area, Taco Bell, KFC, WAWA, there is a Flippers Pizza opening up in a new plaza next to wawa.

Hey, don't knock Cici's. My 18 year old has it on his "must do" list for every trip (a connoisseur of fine dining, that boy ). You can't beat if for value, particularly with that Groupon offer!

Also, just in case you weren't aware, parking at CityWalk is only $5 after 6 pm, so if you want to do dinner there, just plan to arrive after 6 o'clock and you will save $11 (normal general parking rates are $16 per vehicle).

I know Cici's is some world class stuff. We have them all around our house, but really don't go there. I don't know $7 might break the bank On that note DD4 is in a picky eater stage. She will always eat pizza. We may go to City Walk I didn't know they made the parking less after 6pm. I also didn't realize their was an Alehouse not to far either. I thought the only one was in Kissimmee.
