“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!!“

“The food was absolutely incredible! I ordered the NY strip steak and lobster mac — both were cooked to perfection and packed with flavor. Chef Matthew even stopped by our table to check in, which made the experience feel personal and special. Our waitress Taylor was amazing — super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. Hands down a 10 out of 10 experience. Highly recommend!“

“Finally back in Florida after a couple of months and I just knew I had to come back to this location to see Kevin P.. Just like last time he was very attentive, quick, and friendly. He answered any questions I had about the menu, brought my food out quick, made sure my cup was full, and really brightened up the environment. Very positive experience, I recommend this location and even more if Kevin P. is your server.“

“My husband and I went there for lunch today and not only was the food delicious, our bartender/server Melanie was so friendly, knowledgeable about the food and the beverages and made the experience amazing.“

“Nick was an amazing server, very patient with our kids as they tried to order for themselves and had great feedback on our questions about the menu. We came after 10 pm after a day at theme park, restaurant was busy but Nick clearly had his station under control and moving along smoothly.“

“Great food and service, drinks also.“

“Delicious and will need to come back everytime I visit Disney!

We came to Homecomin' based on all the amazing reviews we had seen online and made sure to grab a reservation way ahead of our trip as we did not want to miss the opportunity to eat there. It can get difficult grabbing a spot here so we reccomend reservations whenever you can.

We arrived and probably waited about 5-10 minutes before we had gotten seated.

At first we wanted to grab a bunch of different items as we were starving and excited to eat here, but thankfully our server talked us out of it because by the end of the meal, we knew we had ordered enough to be stuffed! The portions are filling so keep that in mind.

We started with the Hush Puppies to warm up our pallete. They were so good - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They paired very well with the pimento cheese and jalapeño jelly. A great bite.

I had to grab the Thigh High Chicken Biscuits and they lived and maybe even surpassed my expectations. It was so juicy, buttery, and flaky and every bite hit! Two sandwiches in and I was already feeling full but I could not resist finishing these guys off! I will probably get this again when I come back because they were that good!

I am already planning my next Disney trip and Homecomin' is at the very top! I hear they have a great weekend only brunch that i would love to give a try. If you are pondering whether to try this place or not, you will absolutely regret not coming here! Highly recommend.“

“Character dining and delicious food!“

“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!“

“A unique and exciting eating experience.“

“Excelentes... Desayunos...“

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

“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.“

“Try getting a bartender by the name of Lydia. that acted so unprofessional and dismissive. and makes a scene in front of small children and invites the customer to fight outside. over drinks that she didn't make right. I wonder if maybe she had a couple drinks on the job. humm very disturbing and unprofessional incident that occurred during my family’s visit to JoJo’s Shake Bar at ICON Park on International Drive in Orlando. My husband and I approached the bar because my husband felt his drink was watered down and politely stated that he did not like it. He also mentioned that he had requested a double shot. The bartender, who I was later told is named Lydia, immediately became rude and dismissive, stating she would not remake the drink and insisting she had made it correctly. When my husband calmly reiterated that he had asked for a double shot, the bartender began shouting, accusing my husband of being a liar. Her voice escalated, and the situation quickly became hostile. I asked her to calm down, as there was no reason for that level of aggression. At that point, the bartender told us “we can take this outside,” repeatedly inviting my husband and me to fight. She was jumping up and down, yelling, and causing a scene, despite other employees attempting to intervene and asking her to stop. She disregarded them entirely and continued screaming and provoking a physical confrontation. This behavior occurred in a family-oriented restaurant, surrounded by guests, including small children in strollers and my 11-year-old son, who witnessed the entire incident. The situation was humiliating, intimidating, and deeply upsetting. staff members eventually came out (I believe from the kitchen) and attempted to calm her down and instruct her to go to the back. She refused, continued yelling at him, and kept repeating that she wanted to fight us outside. Her refusal to follow supervision and her continued aggression only escalated the embarrassment and concern for everyone present. To make matters worse, my family and I had driven 2½ hours to visit this location , a restaurant we have always loved and frequented. Because of the scene she caused, we were forced to quickly finish our drinks, place our food in a box, and leave. My son was given a box for his cookie so we could exit as fast as possible due to the harassment and embarrassment. No customer should ever be treated this way , especially in front of children , and no employee should ever invite guests to a physical fight while on duty. As long-time supporters of JoJo’s Shake Bar, this experience was shocking and extremely disappointing. We will not return to this location as long as this individual is employed there.“

“This place was delicious!! We had bout 20 min wait, as for some other folks as well. But it was well worth it!! Our waiter was awesome! 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.“

“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!!!“

“Everyone was really friendly and helpful. Really appreciated it.“

“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.“

“Food was good. Service good although ordered a baked sweet potato and received a regular potato which was rectified Noise levels a bit much although not reaching the decibel levels of some well known local restaurants Overall reasonably good experience“

“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.“

“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 !“

“We had an excellent brunch experience. Gina was an amazing server.  She struck a nice balance of humor and sarcasm with our table. Made great recommendations from the menu. Food was excellent ... each one of us had something different and we all enjoyed our meals. We'll definitely be back. “

“Worth visiting! Food, atmosphere and service were all great! Donna is amazing and so welcoming and kind. The best chef! We went back multiple times because of her.“

“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“

“The pumpkin 🎃 ice cream delicious“

“If there wasn't a particularly incredible Nintendo restaurant in the same park I would happily eat all three meals per day here and be thrilled every time. This stuff is worth sailing through hurricanes and fighting dragons for. My life is permanently better for having had this at some point. The PB and J was the one I ordered, and I would recommend the same, although I'm sure they are all fantastic. Expect a decently long line at all times, but they tend to serve people pretty quickly due to the limited options, and this just ensures everything is served as fresh as possible. They each cost around $18, but you're in a theme park, I left full, and I would happily pay double that from a restaurant and still be satisfied. I can't recommend this any higher“

“Great service, staff always friendly and professional. Restaurants are clean and food is consistently good quality“

“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.“

“We tried breakfast at LakeHouse for both mornings of our stay. We are locals and hadn’t been to this Hyatt before. We lucked out and were served by Aicha on the first morning and had to sit with her again the next morning. We have two very young girls and Aicha went above and beyond to make sure we had everything and more that we could ask for. She is excellent at her job, so warm, and anticipated our needs so well. She really made our experience so much better and having her serve us was a highlight of our staycation!“

“Fantastic food and service. Adrian our waiter was outstanding. His attention to detail is next level and his drinks were so good we’re now casually considering buying a house in the community just to come back regularly. Amazing service, and possibly the reason we make a major life decision. Cheers to Adrian!“

“Absolutely awesome restaurant! Any time we are in town we go! The kids love it! Great food options, great atmosphere, the staff is the best! 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!“

“I love this place it's so much fun for a planned or impromptu night out. Beware of lines it's a good idea to get there early because there will be a lot of people. The food is good not great but it puts you into the shoes of a 13th century peasant so what more could you want. The show and service on the other hand is top shelf. Everyone was extremely kind and the performers were excellent. If you have someone in your life that loves knights, fantasy, or even just the idea of swords this is the place to go.“
