And yet another vote for Trail's End. Need to relax for a bit away from MK? A quick boat ride and relaxation awaits you! We love to veg out in the rocking chairs on the porch, and pretend we are running ourselves ragged.

Third vote for Sweet Tomatoes! We heard about this restaurant on the Universal Boards and tried it 2 years ago. When we went again this past March, we made a point of going again! A really nice change and the food is all fresh and very tasty! All you can eat, but nothing like Ponderosa or Golden Corral - and all for under $9 a person!

Seriously, under $9 per person? Is that for adults and kids? It is very ironic y'all mentioned this restaurant since earlier today I had read a post about it and went to their website but I never saw a price and was curious. My family are all BIG salad eaters, especially when we've had our fill of burgers, chicken strips, fries, and pizza.

As of lately, the price in Orlando has been $8.50/adult, and somewhere around $4-5 for kids (I don't have any, so I'm not sure). Drinks are not included, though, they're $1.69. Many weekends, the Orlando Sentinel has coupons for $1.50 off, I think, but I don't get the newspaper any more so I'm not sure how often they do it.

Francesscas on 192 right at the intersection of 536. The owner is from Boston and she cooks fabulous Italian food (as well as acts as waitress and hostess if need be) - very reasonably priced. The building is a little tacky but overlook the decor and you will be very pleased.

Another vote for Trail's End. Their lunch buffet is good,,includes a drink and i think,,is 8.99 for kids,,9.99 for adults. (maybe a buck more). Whispering Canyons is also good,,great mashed potatos!

I agree with Terk-1. Liberty Tree Tavern has great homestyle food. Maybe it has something to do with their affiliation with Stouffer's (or at least they used to). Not only is the food consistently good, dinnertime is character-time too!!

Well, I can certainly relate to this topic. By the end of every trip, I can't wait to get back home to cook and eat some real food. We are going back to WDW in Oct. and have decided to stay at the Ft. Wilderness Cabins. They have complete kitchens with pots and pans and plates and eating utensils, all you have to do is bring the food. I am very excited about being able to eat in the room, not only the food we want to eat, frankly I haven't really been impressed with a lot of the food in Disney, but I believe the extra money we will spend on the room, will make up for itself with the money we save on food. But I can make some recommedations on restaurants for you. This is what I did last time we went. I wrote down a list of all of our favorite restaurants at home and looked them up on the internet and found out if they were also in Orlando. While we were there we ate at Sonny's BBQ, ( I believe these are only in the South??) they are very reasonably priced. $25.00 for family of 4, 2A,2K, Damon's grille, Cracker Barrel, and Golden Corral. As for the On property restaurants I can't really help you on that one, this trip we really budgeted cheaply and only ate at the counter services and at the food court in ASMu. Hope this helps you in some way,
Kim

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the replies! You have given me loads of places to try, many I've never even heard of. We are staying off-site, so we'll be able to try both off-site and on-site restaurants you guys have mentioned.

My stomach thanks you and I thank you!

If you have any more, keep 'em coming!
