We’re not talking about gourmet or especially romantic evenings here.But there is a big space for something more than fast food, but without the big fanfare and very big bill.My family has these among our favorites in the Disney area:

  • Outback Steakhouse: A chain, there are a few scattered around theDisney area.Good steaks and ribs with an Australian theme.The biggestdownside to these restaurants is that they are rather small and verypopular…so there can often be a wait.No worries mate, grab a pager from thehostess and a Down Under margarita from the bar.
  • Kobe Japanese Steakhouse: Again, there are several around theDisney area.Typical hibachi Japanese cooking, but the quality is consistentand the service good.Hint: Look in the free tourist newspapers before youwalk in the door, there is almost always a money-saving coupon for Kobe inthem.
  • Bahama Breeze: Island theme, good food, live entertainment. One ofmy favorites.I especially like the marinated steak. Just of of I-4 north ofDiseny.Expect to wait for a table at busy times.
  • Taste of China Restaurant: In the Formosa Gardens shopping center. A very good Chinese restaurant in an area filled with some very bad Chineserestaurants.
  • Steak and Shake: Closer to the fast food type, but with a higherquality and a 1950’s drive-thru flair.Located along the major roadways. Steakburgers and shakes are their specialty.Food is cooked to order andserved by waitresses.Great for lunch.
  • Red Lobster: Again part of a chain.We go to the new one onFormosa Gardens Blvd.Expect a wait at peak times and somewhat slower thannormal service.This RL has more fresh fish than most (which is good).
  • Logan’s Roadhouse: Drop the shells from the free peanuts on thefloor and have a cold beer to relax from a long day at the parks.
  • EPCOT World Dining: We like the Japanese, German, and Norwegianrestaurants.In the German restaurant you can dance with the wait-staff andpractice your German.Be careful what you say!
  • Polynesian Hotel Luau: Reservations needed most nights.Verysimilar to the real Hawaiian luaus…but without the big beach of course.Foodis served family style.If you get a table in front it will be shorter so thepeople behind you can see.Too much free punch or too long without stretching and you will find it hard to stand up.
