Where do DVCers like to eat offsite?

[JoEllen]

As DVC members our family burned our early on 100% Disney restaurants and their prices. Since we're not into much cooking on vacation, we have ventured out to Bahama Breeze (loved it!), Pebbles (also very good) and Jungle Jims.

Any offsite restaurants your family likes to visit when in the World?

 

[Muushka]

We always include a dinner at Joe's Crabshack near DD whenever we go to Orlando. It is a fun place and the prices are reasonable. AAA gives 10% discount there!

 

[ncligs]

We also like to go to Tony Roma's and TGIF's which is near DD also.

In Vero we go offsite to Casey's Place-YUM and always make sure to get a Rita's Italian Ice-can't get it here in Michigan.

Jungle Jim's!

 

[vernon]

Bahama Breeze, Jungle Jims, TGIF, Tony Roma's Olive Garden and Carrabba's are all regular favourites

Macaroni Grill!! It's near the Crossroads.

TGIF and Outback. Has anyone been to Landry's? I wondered if they offered the same food as Rainforest Cafe...or something totally different.

Joe's crab shack and Golden corral (their rolls are good) near DD

 

[MAC3]

The Olive Garden!!! WE also like Hooters Restaurants. Great wings, Friendly service(but it's more of a pub atmosphere, although we bring our daughter too. They do have tables)! Sometimes we eat in, sometimes we take out!

Just my $.02

Another vote for Jungle Jims. Huge burger selection w/ great drink specials! Very inexpensive.

 

[MikeScott8]

a vote for Orlando Ale House.

we don't eat off site much, but if we did it would be somehting local we don't have here at home. So TGIF, Outback, Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, etc would all be out for us.

I will have to try to remember that Jungle Jims, as many people mentioned that one.

I forgot about Golden Corral. Yum. They do have really good food.

I'm with you on the WDW restaurant burn out. The prices are just too much for us .

Here are the restaurants that we like:

** Shells on 192 (http://www.shellsseafood.com/index.html)
Very fresh, reasonably priced seafood. In the shell peanuts at the bar.

** Sweet Tomatoes at the corner of I-Drive and Kirkman (http://www.sweettomatoes.com/Locations/store.asp?store_id=72)
A great salad bar with soups, pasta, baked potatoes, pizza and ice cream. All food is very fresh and all-you-can-eat. Very reasonably priced about $10 pp at dinner, less for kids.

** Sonny's BBQ on 192 (http://www.sonnysbbq.com/)
Yummy BBQ. Take out or eat in.

** NY China Buffet just north of the Crossroads (http://www.floridawebinfo.com/nychinabuffet/)
Good all-you-can-eat chinese buffet with crab legs at dinner. Price is $12 for adults, but you can usually find a discount in any of the Orlando coupon books.

** Giordanos is next to the NY China Buffet(http://www.giordanos.com/)
Great Chicago stuffed pizza. Pick up, eat in, or even delivery to your resort. A large stuffed pizza serves 3-4 and costs less than $20.


We also like Jungle Jims, Chevy's and Macaroni Grill.

Steak and Shake - they don't take credit cards so this might be a problem for some.

the Denny's is not too bad, but you might not like my taste I tried Peebles and I didn't like it - too expensive for what we got.

 

[JoEllen]

Thanks for some great ideas. I printed out this list this morning.

It seems like every trip we fly in, rent a car and drive direct into the Disney area. This next trip we want to get out and explore more of the area around Disney. Sounds like some great restaurants are out there to try!

 

[rbuzzotta]

WE've gone to TGIF, Dennys, Boston Lobster (YUCK), Olive Garden, Perkins.

 

[JillU-DVC]

We like Olive Garden (we don't have one near by home), Chevy's (decent Mexican food at Crossroads) and Long Horn Steak House (on I-192, right across the street from Krispy Kreme Donuts!).

Long Horn has EXCELLENT steak at reasonable prices - one of the best steak places I've found ANYWHERE (and I'm really picky about good steak). Plus the fact that it's right across the street from Krispy Kreme means we get to kill two birds with one stone!!

 

[Halle]

Pebbles is our favorite!!! We enjoy Chevy's and the Orlando Ale House. We have ventured of to Houlihans which is past the Orlando Convention Center.

 

[Ralph&Pam]

We like Pebbles. We avoid the chains that we routinely visit at home in the interest of vacation variety.
