Very affordable and large portions especially for the area! This is a hidden gem for sure! We’ve been there many times and every time it has been awesome! It has been consistently good every visit!“

“Excellent service and the angus bacon cheeseburger delicious.“

“We got breakfast from the Fresco Deli - we got the Big Burrito and The Club. The portions were great and the food was delicious.We also got the meat lovers pizza from the Toscana Bar and Grill. Truthfully we’ve had better pizza but it did fulfill a need.I do like that Tuscany Village has food options on the property even though there are other places nearby. It’s walking distance and it’s open late enough that you can get a bite at a decent time.“

“Byleigh is one of the best bartenders great fast service with a smile and will make you laugh.“

“We’ve been to Millers almost every day during our 14 day stay on Idrive. We are from the UK and found this to be our favourite bar/restaurant!! The food is outstanding and great value. The zinger chicken salad is to die for!! My absolute favourite and I’m devastated I’ll have to wait until our next trip to Florida to have another one!! We sat at the bar each time we visited as it was such a lovely atmosphere and totally different to what we experience back in England. Alex and Colin were so friendly and always happy to help! Colin made me the best expresso martini!!! Alex and Colin always looked happy and they had lots of laughs with customers. We will definitely return in future!! Thanks so much!!!!“

“We visited on 9 Jan 2026…the service was slow, food mediocre. Going here is more for atmosphere, but not much else.“

“REAL New England seafood, take it from. Massachusetts guy who moved to Florida 7 years ago!! Just had dinner here for the 1st time and I will be back!! In addition to the fantastic food, the staff is top notch and the atmosphere made me forget I was in Florida for a while. Highly recommend this place!!“

“Excellent service. Delicious food“

“We found this place last night while in town for Universal Studios and were blown away. The food was outstanding, but the service was next level. An absolute hidden gem—highly recommend!“

“Great food and service, drinks also.“

“One of the best dining options in Disney Springs by far! Definitely order the fried chicken, it’s stellar. I highly recommend the deviled eggs as well, but all the food we ordered was fantastic. The moonshine flight was delicious and SO fun (all the drinks had a kick to them but weren’t overly strong)! Service was fantastic too, will definitely be back.
Possibly helpful note - on the Disney app it said it was fully booked all day, but we walked up as a party of two and didn’t wait at all for a table. Depends on the day and time I’m sure, this was on a weekday during lunch, but try your luck!“

“We always have a great time here. Food is great and service always on top of it. Christiana is top notch. Provides great service. Remembers us when we come in.“

“Victoria was excellent! She was attentive and made great recommendations. Can’t wait to go back again!“

“5 adults and 3 children went for lunch after mini putt. Waitress was very nice and took good care of our table. Hamburgers we ordered were enjoyed. Chicken Alfredo was liked. Boneless chicken wings were a hit by those that shared the order. Riblets were a hit. Unfortunately the pizza ordered by one child was not good and even his mother who tried it confirmed she wouldn’t eat it either.\nTwo for one drink deal was a good deal. Prices for what you are given is reasonable.“

“A unique and exciting eating experience.“

“Really great quick dining with wonderful food options. The frittata and beef was excellent. The beef is very flavorful and cooked really well. The frittata is fluffy yet dense and the goat cheese on top adds a wonderful, creamy and distinct flavor. This may be one of my favorite meals at Disney's Animal Kingdom.“

“Ppl here were very friendly! Our order was correct! Will b back!“

“The service so horrible. They automatically add 20%for the tip when our server was RUDE AND NON existent. I would NEVER return. No one was there. The food was nasty as well. First and last time here I was so excited to come but left SO disappointed“

“great food, very good and the sevice was excellent!“

He was promising on service,communicating, and making sure we all was good.I really wish I could remember his name, but he is definitely a waiter you would want!! And takes pride in his work.“

“Eric was awesome“

“Our server, Ireland, was super attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable of the menu providing excellent recommendations that I loved. You must try the Mama Mia cocktail and Spinach Artichoke Dip; THE BEST!! Seriously, you won’t regret it!“

“First time in this location. Very clean, great food, great service. Jackie was an awesome Server.“

“A Flavorful Evening with Stellar Service We stopped in for apps and drinks this evening and had a fantastic experience. Our server, Nayeli, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and quick with spot-on recommendations. The clothesline bacon was a definite highlight. A savory-sweet indulgence, but what really surprised me was the rosemary garnish. Just a touch of it with each bite completely opened up the flavor—adding a subtle, aromatic layer that elevated the whole dish. It's an unexpected twist that truly works. Also, shoutout to the bar: the scotch Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had—easily in my top five. Balanced, smooth, and clearly made with intention. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates bold flavors, thoughtful cocktails, and sharp, attentive service. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“I haven't been to Orlando in awhile but if God is willing the first meal I have when i get back will be here! This place is the real deal.“

“Just wanted to thank Sierra for her service when I come w my friends. She always makes everything easy, suggest different things, and never makes us feel like a burden with complicated orders. This place is very convenient in location and to watch the game and fights. Thank you again, Sierra!“

“Delicious food and atmosphere. Relax place to take photos with characters“

“What a great surprise! Amazing food in a clean space with a genuine smile. We weren't even hungry, but we stopped for a bite anyway. I had the yummy, hand-dipped corndog and my husband had the polish sausage with onions & peppers. That crisp bun makes all the difference! You have to try this place. I'll stop here even when I'm not shopping at Bass Pro. Kudos to the owner for going the extra mile on every level.“

“We love Geyser Point. Small menu but a great Bison Cheeseburger. They even have a gluten free bun for the burger and can remove the crispy onion straws from the burger to make it gluten free.

Boyfriend has tried the Turkey BLT Sandwich and liked it.

We tried the macaroni & “cheese” bites (plant based) before I had to go gluten free. No, we are not plant based. We just wanted to try them. They were very good.

Highly recommend going in the evening/night. Cute little outdoor restaurant and bar by Bay Lake. They play the music for Happily Ever After. You can see and hear the music for the electric parade on the water.“

“My husband and I went last night and our waitress Tatiana was very friendly and attentive! Our meals were great and as we walked in we were given a free shareable! We ordered the cinnamon roll skillet which was delicious!“

“Character dining and delicious food!“
