Where do you like to eat off property

Wow there are still Fudruckers around? what the mexican places like?

I like Chevy's Mexican as well. They have a pretty vast menu, so you can undoubtedly find something that's more traditional, or more familiar.

I also like Uno's or Giordanos (both deep dish pizza). Macaroni Grill is always a hit. Steak and Shake has good milkshakes and those thin fries. There's also a Panera not too far away (over by the outlet mall)

There was a really good pizza place next to Goodings at Crossroads. Not sure if it is still there. I am not talking about Uno's. This place was about two or three doors down from Gooding's.

Joe's crab shack (loud)
Giordano's Pizza (The one in Kissimmee is much better than the one in Lake Buna Vista).
Waffle House for breakfast
Carrabba's
The problem I have with a lot of Disney dining is that I travel alone with my 3 year old, buffets do not work well for me, so I go off site a lot.

Flippers! We love Flippers! The first time we went there they messed up our order so they gave us that pizza on the house and also the correct pizza. We had ordered 2 so got 3 for the price of one. That kept us going for a couple of days for lunches.

Hard Rock Cafe. Even if we're not going to US/IOA parks we like to grab a dinner or drinks somewhere at citywalk during our trips. The place we miss most is Race Rock. Still can't get used to driving past and not seeing the monster trucks.

CiCi's is the our best budget meal. Not only are they really reasonable but they often hand out buy 1 get 1 free coupons. I've fed 6 of us there in the past for $20. Now that's hard to beat...

There is another place if you don't mind driving. Yellow Dog Eats. 1236 Hempel Avenue
Windermere, FL 34786. It'a about 15 miles from WDW.

They also have a facebook page.

Just wondering why you want to go off property to eat? Eating at the Disney establishments is part of the experience of the place. Maybe after you've been there many times and are tired of the on-permises places, but not at first

Bahama Breeze was good. Landry's was a disappointment (though I have been to several across the country and they usually arent). Cheesecake Factory was worth the drive, IMO. I was craving veggies by the time we went there...and they do great fire grilled veggies.

While they're both 'chains', they're chains we don't have at home.

If we go off property we like both Bahama Breeze and Joe's Crab Shack.

Most of our meals at both have been great, but we've also been disappointed at each. Such is the risk you take at a chain.

After researching the prices, That would be the main Reason

We go to 192 E or W and there are many good restraunts. Old Town is fun and has some colorfull places.

Sweet Tomato located in the Cross Roads Plaza just across the road from the exit at the Disney Hotel Plaza.

I love Sweet Tomato's!!!!

Two reasons for us:
1) After 50+ trips, we have been almost everywhere we want to go to
2) $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Prices have risen dramatically in the past 3-5 years --- even with TIW, its a lot of $$


We love to go to BucaDiBeppo, in the Florida Mall -- great 1/2 lb meatballs.

We ate at TuTu Tangos this past week. It was off of Sand Lake, I think. It was really good!

When Disney started the free dinning plan the quality of the food has gone way way down. It is still a deal if the food is free but not if you are paying Disney prices for it. That’s why we eat most of our meals at the site or off property.

Like many others have said, it's just too-o-o-o expensive to eat at Disney. We used to do it all the time but the quality of the food has gone down significantly in the last 3-4 years. There is no longer the wide variety that there use to be on the buffets and the price is fricken ridiculous (over $35). If you want a steak at LeCeller it will cost you $42.. Not much on their menu under $35. - maybe 2 items. To some that might not seem like much but given the quality, it's alot.

We also eat a lot off property because there is no were at the Fort to get something to eat after 10pm that suck. If you want any food and don’t want to make it you have to take a bus to WL or drive somewhere to get it.
