50 Best American Restaurants near Celebration

“I had a wonderful stay at Meliá Orlando Celebration! The hotel has a charming atmosphere, clean rooms and beautiful surroundings.

The staff was very helpful, warm, and welcoming, always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is perfect close to the parks.The pool and restaurant area is a great spot to unwind after a busy day.“

“I go here at least three times per week and it’s awesome….great Cappuccinos, bagels and everything else on the menu along with great customer service from everyone behind the counter, especially Nosaiba, who always greets me by name and a smile! Y’all are awesome!!!“

“We were absolutely blown away by our experience with Euphoria Fish house service. Not only was the food incredible—bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented —but the level of service we received was truly exceptional.

As someone with celiac disease, eating out can be nerve-wracking, but Chef Ces immediately put us at ease. What amazed us most was that he personally came out to our table to go over the menu and carefully explain which dishes could be safely accommodated gluten-free. His knowledge, kindness, and attention to detail made all the difference and allowed me to enjoy the meal without worry.

Every bite was unforgettable—
This experience wasn’t just a meal—it was a memory. If you’re looking for outstanding food, genuine hospitality, and a chef who truly cares about his guests, Chef Ces is in a league of his own. Highly, highly recommended!“

“Rainforest Cafe is amazing, they have really great food and the staff is great as well. Our server Raychelle did a FANTASTIC JOB! she was very helpful! Service and atmosphere and food was awesome! The bathrooms we're clean as well, store was fun to look around at. I will definitely come back to this place! The food came out fast as well and was fresh! The only downside I would give about this place is, If people are coming just for the rainforest Cafe there should be separate parking so we don't need to pay $30 for parking, other than that it was a great time!“

From the moment we began planning, the entire process was seamless, and the staff went above and beyond to make this celebration unforgettable. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism—from the helpful communication ahead of time to the outstanding service on the day of the event. A special shoutout to our amazing servers Mark, Leylani, and Edgar—you were absolutely phenomenal! Warm, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, you made our group feel truly celebrated. We also want to thank the management team who ensured everything ran smoothly and welcomed our family with kindness and joy. If you’re looking for a place to host a special event or just want great food and incredible service, BJ’s on I-Drive is the place to go. THANK YOU for helping us create such meaningful memories—we are beyond grateful!“

“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“

“We chose to eat at Ovation as my daughter is gluten free and they have a separate menu for this which was great. I booked priority seating online which was confirmed and and we were given our table with no issues. Our waiter Tyler was very friendly, the menus is varied, and the food and wine was delicious. We had a lovely evening.“

“We were there today for lunch passing through on our way back home to Fort Pierce and sat outside. I gotta say our server JC was the best server I have ever had anywhere. Funny, personable, nice guy. We enjoyed our time there immensely thanks to him. Give that guy a raise & a bonus!!“

“My wife and I have been here twice during our short stay in Orlando. The first time we came they were about to close, but they still welcomed us with a warmth greeting. We had a really good feeling about this place and turned out we were right! Great vibe, great staff, and great foods! What else can you ask for?

Special thanks to Riley, Chris, and James - you all made our stay in Orlando wonderful! Shout out to Rob for putting together such a solid team!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“🤤Taste :4.4/5
📍Environment: 4.4/5
🕴Service：3.8/5 ( self service )

Satu'li Canteen is such a unique dining spot! Located in Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney's Animal Kingdom but its' also quiet pack for to get the seat . you may oder via the app to collect the food . The atmosphere is super interesting, and the food? Both creative and tasty!

💛 Combination Bowl with Smoked Chimichurri-braised Beef and Wood-grilled Chicken, and wow, it was flavorful and satisfying. The mix of textures and the smoky chimichurri flavor were just perfect.

💛The Ocean Moon Bowl was a fun surprise! The blue noodles were visually stunning, and the combo of tuna, watermelon radish, and pickled daikon gave it a refreshing, cool vibe.“

“Great food and friendly and efficient staff“

“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.“

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

“Awesome food great beers and awesome staff...meaning bar tender“

“Everything was perfect ! Servers are amazing !“

“Reasonably priced and located near the water with views of the floating electric parade. The only downside is that it is entirely outdoors so it can be uncomfortably hot or cold. It's not connected to the main lodge so if it's raining, you'll get wet walking here. My favorite was the campfire mousse. Beautiful and delicious.“

“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.“

“Large portions of delicious shepherds pie full of meat. Ate there New Years Eve. No one was there. Waitress was Artesia. Wonderful server. Love retail sales. Clean, fast. Near Disney. Worth a visit“

“Highball & Harvest - Orlando - 4.5 Stars "If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst forth at once in the sky, that would be like the splendor." -- Gita Highball & Harvest is a restaurant inside the Ritz Carlton Hotel. The Ritz works very hard to deliver an amazing overall experience whether in lodging or in dining. While I did not stay at the hotel itself, the opulence that surrounds you upon entering the restaurant is sumptuous. You have to take a circuitous route to get to this eatery but once seated you have great views of lush flora and fauna that are carefully manicured. The attention to detail is astounding. The only downside to this spot is that the open air nature of this area caused sound to reverberate. Normally, this is not a big deal, but there was a gaggle of men hard-pitching what sounded like a Ponzi-like scheme to some young adults nearby. I tried to ignore them, but the leader of the pitch had a bellowing voice that carried throughout the place. He looked and sounded just like Marty Funkhouser from "Curb Your Enthusiasm." It was hard to avert my eyes because he apparently had obtained hair transplants years ago and did not have the foresight to consider future baldness. So he had perfect rows of wispy red hair on his head, a complete ring of baldness, and then more hair. Anyway, while this is a major digression from the point it was hilarious to watch and listen. I didn't need to stick my head in my phone for entertainment. Now, back to my culinary experience. Highball & Harvest has, like all modern American restaurants, a craft drink menu. A highball is another name for cocktail, which was big in usage at the turn of the last century. I chose to imbibe and picked the Industrialist from the menu. This consisted of Woodford Reserve double bourbon, Creme de' Menthe, and Fernet Branca. How they came up with this combination is beyond me but WOW! - it works. I ordered three sides instead of a full meal this time, choosing brussel sprouts with sherry-maple gastrique, Jimmy Red's goat cheese grits, and red cabbage deviled eggs. At first I was worried about the maple gastrique but my worry was for naught. The maple was barely noticeable but the sugars gave a potent punch on the finish. Now, as far as cheese grits go, I will eat them whenever they're on the menu. These Jimmy Red's had so much wonderful cheese I almost want to call it cheese with grits - truly amazing. Finally the deviled eggs: The chef who designed these eggs should get national recognition. The filling was smooth and creamy. The red cabbage finish topped with the pumpernickel crouton is the kind of crisp, clean, simple dish I so enjoy. I can't say enough good things about Highball & Harvest. Their dishes are simple, yet complex, and contain the right balance of flavors with recipes that are outside of the proverbial box. Please, I implore you to go experience Highball & Harvest, so sayeth the Big Bo“

“Very friendly and fast service. You can order at the counter or just grab an empty seat and scan the QR code at the table to order. The table ordering allows you to add or remove toppings to your tastes. The food was fresh and well seasoned, very delicious. Hot items were hot and cold items were cold. 1st time at Culver's would recommend and definitely go again.“

“Exelente servicioy la comida super rica“

“We were there tonight with a group of 25 and Hannah B knocked it out of the park. She was patient, kind, accommodating and an absolute sweetheart!! Our kids appreciate your work with Autism Society Greater Orlando. Thank you!! We appreciate you !“
