50 Best American Restaurants near Championsgate

“It wasn’t bad. Food was average breakfast food, a bit a la carte for my liking. Server seemed to forget everything we asked for. She was nice just didn’t bring us things we asked for. I’d probably go back in a pinch but definitely not a “go too”“

“Loved this place. It was exactly what I wanted. A casual upscale dining experience with high-quality drinks and dinner menu.The food, service, and drinks were amazing. I will go back before we head back north.We even had a slight issue with one of our cocktails, and the way they dealt with it was very professional. Loved it !“

“Came here with the wife little date night and our server MELISSA wag AMAZING had her the last time as well. She knew our order and all the condiments we wanted without even having to ask. She is really GREAT and should be training the other staff. You can tell she is a people person and loves her job. Way to go Melissa and we will always ask to be seated in your section and if we have to wait we will WAIT!!!!“

“This Miller's Ale House is always the meet point for a colleague and I to meet at to have lunch and swap out some gear. The food is always perfect,and the service is awesome, I always get the soup and salad lunch, and he gets the Salmon. The soup that day was Chicken Noodles yum lots of chicken and vegetables ? To me Miller's is a great staple along the road to dine at.“

“This was our 2nd time dining here but it has been quite some time. We had a great experience! Maverick was our server. He was super knowledgable and very attentive. We ordered the mussels, the lamb chops, fried gnocchi and mac and cheese balls. I think the gnocchi should be served with some sort of sauce on the side, maybe like a pesto sauce, but it was still really tasty and a generous amount! Everything was amazing!! Cant wait until the next time!“

“Have eaten here few times. Went on Easter sunday has the ribs (so good,juicy and tender) my husband had the ovation signature burger (loved it) my kiddos had the mac and cheese dish and the chicken tenders and they loved it. Everything was cooked great! The waiter was excellent checking in frequently and then even the chef asked how we liked the dinner and that was amazing! Highly recommend!!“

“Had a wonderful breakfast at Keke's with friends! The place was bustling on a weekday morning which is saying something for how popular it is. Menu consists of all the classic breakfast favorites-eggs, waffles, omelettes etc... we ordered a number of dishes including the French toast, strawberry waffle, green omelette, steak omelette, and eggs Benedict. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and comes in kids and adult sizes (adult glass is massive by the way). The coffee is good! Overall super tasty meal! Our server Alex was fantastic-so friendly and kind. He took orders from two little kids like a pro and made sure everyone at the table had what we needed throughout the meal. Super attentive and really went the extra mile for us! Overall fun, relaxing place to visit. Highly recommend!“

“After a rocky start, Alexis came to our rescue. We sat at the table for 10 minutes before we saw anyone. Alexis saw us looking at her and came over to ask if we needed help. We weren’t in her section, but she was very nice and got us out within 45 minutes. Food was very good. Ask to be in her section if you go!“

“We had the pleasure of visiting during our visit to see our daughter. The food was delicious and staff were friendly. Prior to our recent Christmas visit our daughter was alone for the 4th of July so I called in an order and paid over the phone. The manager was super helpful and so kind. Tonight I spoke with the manager there just to thank them in person and she was extremely gracious. Please take a trip by this wonderful place for the great people and awesome food.“

“Excellent place to eat. The bone fire comes with ribs, chorizo, wings, brisket, potatoes, peppers and white onion. Also for a small additional price you can order an add-on. Totally recommended and at a reasonable price. Excellent service and location as well. I hope to return“

“The food is very good, in an African atmosphere where the dishes are (some) from this particular part of the world.The menu is very well taken care of, since it is quite limited, but it makes up for it with the range of flavors and textures of the food.The prices are somewhat high, but the staff is very good and always attentive to any request from diners.Highly recommended!!!“

“My husband, son and I dined here Sunday evening. Our server(I wish I could remember her name) was with us promptly and inquired about any allergies at our table. This was a nice change from normal dining experiences! I have a honey allergy which I typically have to mention on my own. After I let her know, she informed her MOD Rob who promptly came to our table and chatted with us about some of my food options! Rob was so informative and checked back twice during our meal! As someone who spent a lot of time in the restaurant industry, I greatly appreciated the hospitality the entire team offered! We look forward to dining with Chef Art and their team on our next visitKid-friendliness: Outdoor seating was spacious and nicely covered. We were visited by a few ducks which our young son loved.“

“We had Lorena as our waitress. Her service was amazing. For sure we will be back .Vegetarian options: Omelet with veggies it’s delicious.Dietary restrictions: Good it’s fresh and delicious.Parking: GoodKid-friendliness: Lorena was very friendly.“

“Disney and culinary excellence are not synonymous. Absolutely not. I had my shares of disappointing dining experience at Disney theme parks on countless occasions.But some exceptions pleasantly emerged recently and Satu’lli Canteen is a prime example.This quick service restaurant is located in the Avatar section (Pandora land) in Animal Kingdom. Using the Disney app to order food is highly recommended. Finding a table is a breeze because there’s a cast member at the door to screen out non-dining guests.I heard so many good things about about this place and I ended up getting the beef/chicken over rice and bean with scallion sauce that tastes and looks like chimichuri sauce. And I also got the dumpling with vegetable slaw and chips.Totally met my expectations, I have to say. Each entree was designed in such a way that they can bang out thousands of orders without paralyzing the kitchen. While accommodating gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan and other dietary restrictions. Ingenuity!This place should be the prototype for all Disney dining places.Dietary restrictions: From the Disney App, you can place an order that accommodates variety of dietary restrictions.“

“Was on vacation last week in Orlando, FL and ate breakfast twice at this Denny’s location. Our waitress, Nicole was one of the best! Very friendly and welcoming. She was attentive, always knew when to refill the coffee cups without us even asking. Just an all around good experience.“

“I enjoyed this Traditions restaurant. The facility was clean and the food was delicious. Our table ordered ribs, wings, tomatoe bisk, and filet sandwiches. All were yummy. The broccoli was so good! Our server was on top of everything. So far this is the best restaurant on site. I would recommend to eat here.“

“I ate dinner here with my brother and daughter while visiting from South Florida. The food was delirious! It's a bit pricey but so is everything in Orlando or Disney. Most important was at the food was very good, all of our meals were delicious. Our waitress was nice too.“

“A Stellar Experience at Space 220: Where Cosmic Cocktails and Culinary Delights Await Step into a world where dining transcends mere earthly pleasures - welcome to Space 220 at Epcot. From the moment you step through the airlock, you're transported to a celestial haven, where every detail, from the decor to the cuisine, is meticulously crafted to evoke the wonders of outer space. One of the highlights of our journey to Space 220 was encountering the unparalleled expertise of bartender Christopher with a C. His mastery of mixology elevated our experience to new heights, particularly with his creation of the "Up All Night" espresso martini. This cosmically charged concoction seamlessly blended the rich flavors of espresso with the invigorating kick of premium spirits, ensuring that every sip was a journey through the stars. Guiding us through this gastronomic odyssey was the stellar management team, led by the ever-capable Joshua Rock. His commitment to ensuring a seamless and unforgettable dining experience was evident from the moment we arrived, as he expertly navigated the intricacies of Space 220's orbit. Of course, no cosmic voyage would be complete without indulging in the culinary delights that Space 220 has to offer. Among the many celestial delicacies, the tempura fried cauliflower stood out as a true star. Crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside, each bite was a symphony of flavor that left us craving more. And then there's the command center - the pulsating heart of Space 220, where diners can marvel at breathtaking views of Earth from orbit. It's a mesmerizing sight that serves as a constant reminder of the boundless wonders that await beyond our atmosphere. Space 220 at Epcot offers more than just a meal - it's an otherworldly experience that ignites the imagination and tantalizes the taste buds. With Christopher's stellar cocktails, Joshua Rock's exemplary leadership, and culinary delights like the tempura fried cauliflower, a journey to Space 220 is truly a voyage to remember.“

“Excellent food! We had a large party of 10 which can be tough when going out, but the food and service was fantastic. We were on vacation and had never been to a LongHorn Steakhouse before so we wanted to try it. Steaks were cooked to perfection. Apps were out of this world. We are huge Texas Roadhouse fans so this was very comparable if not better. Definitely classier atmosphere in comparison.“

“My hubby and I stopped her for a few apps. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! Our server was wonderful and recommended the shrimp app. It was a bit spicy, but perfect. There are so many options of cuisines. We will absolutely be back.“

“My first time coming to the rainforest cafe and it did not disappoint!! We came for my boyfriend’s birthday and our server Becky was amazing. She brought great energy and explained all the new menu items available. The drinks and the food were very good and we definitely recommend coming here if you’re at Disney!“

“One of the most beautiful places, it's worth visiting, walking in the park and taking photos, there's a street market, with artisanal products, and some other options like fruit, the market isn't very big but it's worth stopping by, as it's on the main lake from the park“

“Gage gave us 10/10 service! So sweet and friendly. My family and I are visiting out of town from Los Angeles and immediately felt welcomed by all the employees at Waffle House. Want to reiterate how GREAT Gage’s service was if you want entertainment with your meal request him as your server!“

“This is a TERRIFIC Denny’s. Best I can remember visiting! Staff - wait staff was so very friendly and efficient- I came back from yesterday to eat here. So quick too! Serves after my order I’m not kidding - 5 minutes barely! Wonderful! Server Michelle and server today Megan were exceptionally wonderful to meet, so very professionall and nice!“

“First time at Miller’s Ale and I should’ve been here sooner. Just for a quick bite I ordered the boneless chicken, chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos and they were all delicious. Will not be my last visit cause they just built one close to me in Snellville GA and I’ll be there ASAP! Overall the restaurant and server were excellent,.“

“Thank you for making my experience excellent. The food was brought out timely hot and exactly how I like it. The service was outstanding! The bus boy a hard worker too. Just a suggestion and I know it’s not typical for Outback Steakhouse’s but bc you are in a tourist area an added touch is to add live music. Most people eating want to feel like there on vacation not at home and this option would be nice. Competition is fierce and this would bring your est over the top.“

“We went here for a corporate event. Is a great place. Really cool layout and vibe. Two stories!!!! They have a central bar on each floor. The second floor bar has a nice view of the shopping area. +It is a close walk from the Uber drop off by the big tent. +The drinks were great. Selection and cocktails were great. +Sushi was super yummy!!! We were so impressed! +both servers we had (bar area and then lane area) were responsive and friendly. Best service I've had in Disney Springs area! +great set up at the lane - booth style with high top tables. Perfect for groups and observers to stay connected. Fyi- the bowling lanes have a shorter than normal approach“

“Went for Sunday brunch, food was awesome. Loved the cinnamon rolls, red velvet Dutch baby (special for Valentine’s Day), omelettes. Pancakes were fluffy, and the Country Benedict was superb. Staff were super friendly and attentive. Great family atmosphere. It was a little chilly the day we went but they had put heaters outside so it made for a comfortable view of the lake. They had vegetarian and vegan options which I appreciate. Everyone’s order was correct and delicious. We will definitely go back!“

“Amazing place to celebrate or go any time. Entrance is bright and then you go down to their dark "speak easy " where you find 20s style decorations with old time radios and clocks. It's easy to spend time looking at everything. Our server Enzo, I believe was great. Very attentive and friendly. Treated all of us like we were family. It's pricey and the menu at lunch is a little limited, but it still was an enjoyable lunch. Give it a try sometime.Parking: Would recommend parking in the Lime garage for this restaurant. It's closer.Kid-friendliness: We took our four year old granddaughter and she liked it. The restaurant was very accommodating to kids. There are even old time movies showing at a table I saw.“

“I’ve been to Florida many times, but this is my first time visiting Keke’s breakfast cafe. I came with my family, ordered the caramel banana French toast. Delicious next thing I knew it was gone. The server was attentive she was really nice. Will I be back certainly!“

“I have been to The Back Porch a number of times and I love it. Nothing beats a cute little place with a gorgeous view and good picnic type foods. It’s one of my favorite places to visit with friends and family especially when they visit from out of town.“

“Upon entering the restaurant, the four of us received a friendly greeting with a smile and were immediately seated in a booth. MIRBELIS, our WAITRESS, greeted us, took our drink orders, and VERY SOON AFTERWARDS, returned and received our food orders. She was very ATTENTIVE to our requests with immediate response, gave EXCELLENT customer service, and was very PROFESSIONAL and EFFICIENT!Th BUSBOY was busily clearing and cleaning the tables with speed and vigor. There seemed to be TEAMWORK on the floor!The MANAGER, was OVERSEEING and ASSISTING whenever, wherever, and whatever was needed. His presence was not OBVIOUS to the point of OVERBEARING, but visible enough to greet the customers and interact graciously.The RESTROOM (Women’s) was immaculate…..mopped floors, cleaned toilets, clean basins and countertops, and well-supplied with toilet tissue and paper towels.We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at IHOP!Carrie LaidlerLakeland, FlParking: We arrived at around 10:15 AM and the parking lot was FULL, however, there were spaces AVAILABLE for our TWO CARS. It was very apparent that the EFFICIENT SERVICE going on INSIDE enabled A TURNOVER of TRAFFIC and PARKING OUTSIDE!“

“The quality of the food was good, unfortunately they didn’t have many truly gluten free meals, only food prepared without wheat flour but couldn’t ensure no cross contamination, that’s fine for someone who decides not to consume gluten but not safe enough for people with allergies or celiac disease“

“I was amazed by the service and the food served. I usually don't eat in restaurants because of my food allergies. Here at First Watch, the server was courteous and they alter the menu on the fly to accommodate me. My food came as ordered and it was delicious. I have nothing wrong to say about this place. They even have food picks marked "Alergy". I kept it in remembrance of First Watch. I added a picture of my empty plate for a reason: to show how good the food was. I would recommend that place to anyone (including families with children) coming to Orlando, Florida. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.Dietary restrictions: Just ask for menu customization.Parking: In a shopping plaza.Kid-friendliness: Children are welcomed.“

“I had the best server I had the entire time I was in Florida at this restaurant. I wish I remembered her name. I did tell her she was the best server we had though. I usually find the service in state side restaurants unfriendly and inattentive but this girl was friendly and attentive and just a delight. The buffet was good too. Thanks for a good time“

“My favorite ice cream place on Disney property! I try to come here after running every Disney race because what is better than a giant ice cream after running a marathon?! Love the ambiance and the energy of the staff members - definitely a Disney restaurant! This place fills up fast so you definitely need a reservation but if you don't, there's a walk up window too!“

“Very nice waitress and server!!!?And the hostess was so friendly and effective, she offered to take a picture of my family,(By the way,she took beautiful pictures). The staff who sang me the special birthday song were very friendly, too. Thanks!!!?“

“Dole Whip... at a resort... with the option to add booze. I mean... how is this NOT a five-star review automatically?! Okay, in all seriousness, this really is a great little spot. If you're at the Polynesian resort, main house, go towards the back in the main lobby and out the sliding glass doors. Turn left, and there it is, a little gem situated in a resort instead of in a crowded park. Dole Whips have their own cult following, and I have to admit I get the fever. They're so tasty! This location can also do swirls with vanilla soft-serve, and they also make Dole Whip Floats (your choice of DW or soft-serve with pineapple juice). So good! They also offer a Dole Whip Float with a shot of coconut rum! Yes, it's delicious, though honestly the rum hides very quickly with the size and flavor of the float. But, that's okay, you can just take the shot separately if you want, they serve it on the side. That's all they serve: ice cream, Dole Whip, floats, and mixtures between the above. It's that simple. And simply delicious. Whether we're staying at this resort or just stopping by for a meal, we have to go to the Lanai for a Dole Whip!“

“This is a must for a nice break during a day at Hollywood Studios! Nice stop for some wine, craft beers, charcuterie and pretzels! I recommend getting a beer flight (or two) coupled with a charcuterie platter and a pretzel. Great alternative to the park food and certainly healthier! We’ve been here several times and always look forward to coming back!“

“We got there at opening, so not busy at all. The waiter was right on top of everything! The food, not so much. You could tell that it wasn't being attended to. Both the steak & the chicken were overcooked. A bit charred for Parmesan crusted chicken and medium rare steak was mostly medium. We didn't complain as we waited a good while for them to come out as it was. Worth trying them again though; because of the service.“

“Our waiter George at Store #1133 was amazing!!! He was very tentative and so very sweet to my 2 young children. The food and atmosphere were perfect! If we lived in this area we would come back and ask for George.Kid-friendliness: Nice selection!!!“

“Our greeting was warm and professional. Tufik, our server was very professional and friendly. All food and drinks ordered were very good and thoughtfully presented. The length of time it took for our main courses to be delivered seemed to take longer than expected, especially considering there were less than 5 other tables in the dining room. Our food was served to half the table and then it was about 5 minutes before the rest of the food was delivered. Tufik apologized for the delay, and though I'm not certain, it seemed like the different stations producing our items were not coordinated in their timing. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.“

“Might be the best atmosphere on Disney property. The Sangria flight was fun, but the Corn dip is what I'll be returning for. We also had the Shrimp Poke bowl and it was incredibly fresh, refreshing, and a huge portion. The fried chicken bao buns were very enjoyable too, but not quite the star of the show.This was a wonderful experience and is an excellent date night spot.“

“The food was so nice, everybody enjoyed their food and had no complaints. Really good value for money aswell. Would definitely recommend. My sister also accidentally left her phone behind and when she went back to look for it our waitress helped her look and gave her a hug when she found it.“

“My first character dinner was here today. Food was okay, but I especially liked the beef stew. The characters came around to my table at least twice each. The most interactive one today was Pluto. Mickey and Minnie being the most popular took a little longer to visit. It wasn’t till the end that a cast member offered to take my picture with my son for a character. That’s my only negative. So I only have a picture with goofy, my son and myself. The rest were single shots taken by myself or my son. The experience was worth it just to see my sons face lit up like a jack o lantern the whole time!“

“Good eats, nice quick service. The drive through was not a traditional drive through, you instead pay at the drive through and then park, where they give you your meal, so it's a slower-made meal. Great for ensuring quality, frankly. The grilled chicken was a fresh cutlet of meat, rather than a patty, and the concrete mixer was rich and delicious.“

“Great burgers. My whole family loves them. I love the fries more than the burgers. And last time I opted to not get more grease and got a salad. I cannot over state how much I love the salad even though I was at a burger shop.The employees were attentive and friendly. If I could say a negative thing about this place I would, but simply cannot. Happy to come back again.“

“We are here for vacation and loved this restaurant. We went once and ate in and ordered take out also. The prices were fair and food was delicious. Staff was extremely friendly. Wish we had a restaurant like this in NY.Kid-friendliness: We had our autistic medically fragile son and a 7 year old and staff was amazing with them both.“

“Awesome place to hang out. We were seated right away. Our waiter was fantastic. He was on his game. Live rock music, delicious food and drinks. Our drinks took a bit to come out, but the food came out quick. Chili wings were my favorite. There's Awesome pics all over the walls. Bathrooms were clean. Very enjoyable place. We will definitely be back.Parking: Parking close to the building as well as a large area for additional parking in their lot.“

“Got there a little late in the morning and the line was long, took awhile to finally order. Then not realizing exactly how long the line was before we got there, took even longer to get our food. Overall, it took about 30 min for the entire thing. The sandwiches were okay. The bagels, which they are more popularly known for, were pretty good.“
