“On vacation from the UK, went to First Watch in Fort Lauderdale 5 years ago and loved the Breakfast so when I returned to the USA after 5 years just had to look them up in Orlando, in smell as I walked in was amazing! Nothings changed, great Breakfast and Great Service, I’ll be back this week!“

“We had the absolute pleasure of being taken care of by Fiona at the main pool, and she was truly incredible. She was warm, attentive, and so easy to talk to. She checked in on my family and me often, made sure we always had what we needed, and added such a positive energy to our day.

Fiona is a gem, the Omni is lucky to have her! Highly recommend asking for her if you’re at the pool“

“We visited for our anniversary for the eighth year in a row and it was an incredible experience! Manny went above and beyond to make it extra special for us. His service was 10/10 - food was great especially the shrimp & grits. We will definitely be back and will ask for him again.“

“I've been to the rainforest Cafe when I was on my senior trip at the Georgia academy for the blind and I was there last summer and it is such an amazing place the food is top notch for service is top notch it's expensive but it's worth it“

“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.“

“The service was excellent and the food. But what we enjoyed the most was the time with the waiter Wyatt. An extremely kind and funny boy.“

“Awesome place with super cool people and service! Always love coming here when we visit from Canada 🇨🇦“

“First time this week while on vacation which turned into a second time yesterday. Food is top shelf and service is great. Highly recommend and I know we will be back when in Orlando in the future“

“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.“

“Simply outstanding! Great all-around experience!!“

“We enjoyed our experience at Ovations. Pleasantly surprised with the crab cakes. We're a little fussy with crab cakes having enjoyed them in MD for many years. But these were loaded with crab meat! The Thursday smoked prime rib was good. Definitely recommend the horseradish sauce to accompany. Steph did a wonderful job of keeping our drinks topped up and removing plates.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Amazing crew, we came in late on Tuesday and we were treated with such love and compassion from your entire crew. After a long travel we just wanted a meal. Planes only give chips or peanuts. Anyways we all filled up and had a great laugh with our server. Thank you for the welcoming staff we will be back!“

“What a delicious experience!!! My daughter and I braved the summer heat and spent some time at Disney Springs and were lucky enough to be able to do walk up seating at lunch time. We only had a 30 min wait to be seated inside which we were thankful for. We were greeted quickly by our server and drinks were brought out just after.

We decided to start with the deviled eggs and they did not disappoint!!! Scrumptious!!! For our entrees we chose the Chicken and Donuts (recommended by our server) and Shrimp and Grits. Both entrees were 10/10! Excellent flavors. The chicken was so flavorful and juicy. Shrimp and grits (we added cheese to the grits) was a flavorful delight. Bonus!!! Chef Art was in the house and stopped by our table to say hello!! So cool!! I was told he is only in town a few times a year. Lucky us!! Would highly recommend a visit if you have an opportunity to try them out.“

“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.“

“Candace was our server. She was great! Highly recommend her as a server. The fire oven pizza is great. Love the sweet & sour sauce on the Calamari. Prices and quality are very fair. Just out side of the Disney chaos but not too far (6.3 miles/12 minutes) to the Magic Kingdom.“

“Loved this place!! I was scared of not having vegetarian options for me and was amazed by the amount of options they had, and every single thing was delicious. Came with my husband to celebrate our anniversary and will definitely be coming back soon.“

“This was my second time at Hash House A Go Go, and they knocked it out of the park again! The food was delicious, the portions are absolutely massive, and everything came out fresh. It's one of those places that never disappoints. I'll definitely be back for a third visit!“

“Usually I like getting lunch from here when I’m at animal kingdom. I didn’t like how I couldn’t go in the restaurant even though my food was under progress. When I picked up my meals, it was disappointing. We ordered two noodle bowls, but one lacked noodles and mostly creamy sauce and one had double the noodles then the 1st bowl.“

“GF, just ask. They have a gf menu.
Had pork chops. Brussel sprouts are one of my favorite sides but little disappointed this time. Undercooked, almost hard. Polite pig Brussel sprouts had better flavor.
Appetizers were huge. Salad could feed 4. Pork belly was a meal itself and a full burrito oval for the bruschetta for my wife.“

“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!!!“

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

“Overall, my experience at this IHOP location was very good. The food was enjoyable, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the waitresses were very friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service.

However, I am giving this location only one star because of a serious cleanliness issue with the utensils. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures, but I found a large piece of what appeared to be caramel residue stuck on the serrated edge of my knife. Other utensils were also very greasy, and some areas felt sticky to the touch.

This is a serious concern because clean utensils are one of the most basic requirements for any restaurant. Even though the waitresses provided great service, dirty tableware can negatively affect the entire dining experience and raises concerns about hygiene standards.

I hope the management takes this issue seriously and improves the cleaning and inspection process for all utensils. The staff deserves recognition for their excellent service, but the restaurant’s cleanliness standards need immediate attention.“

“Beautiful restaurant, extremely friendly staff and the food was delicious! 10/10 recommend!“

“I usually don’t write reviews, however this place is great! The staff is friendly and polite, the food is delicious and served quickly, and the staff are happy and do their jobs efficiently with a smile! It shows that they are happy and must be a great place to work. Keep doing what you’re doing“

“on hoilday just find denny's by chance would recommend to anyone great food quick service and very friendly staff 😀“

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

“Food was delicious. Was there towards the end of breakfast/brunch time so wasn't expecting fully stocked buffet line, waitress was pleasant and attentive even with being there so late. The lady at the omelet station tried to act nice but I could clearly tell she was annoyed and would have rather been cleaning and closed already. Also very good price for what was available to choose from, the quality, and the location being one street over from Disney springs. Was honestly expecting it to cost more“

“We love coming to this place, especially when Maria, one of the managers, is here because she is so pleasant. Her service is great, she's always on top of everything, and if there’s anything wrong with the food, she takes care of it herself. Alex the waiter and Brandon the bartender are wonderful—excellent service from them! I'm leaving a picture of the wings Maria makes with her own recipe; they are spectacular“

“morgan thank you for a memorable time at burgerfi today you are full of fun energy this was my very first time she explained the menu perfect i asked her favorite said the ceo thats what i got she was not wrong and the way she explained wagyu to me was PERFECT the meat melts in your mouth very good thank you morgan ur service was awesome and i appriciate that most people these days lay down the food and walk away you took your time to tell me your name and if i needed anything not to hesitate to ask cool place just if everyone were as kind thanks burgerfi and thank you for morgan“

“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!“

“Best Burger I've had in years! I have an uncommon difficult allergy and Chef Matthew made an absolutely delicious meal. Stephanie did a fantastic job serving. I'll be here for a week can't wait to see what else Chef creates. Great food, great staff.“

“Delicious bubble waffles and crepes!“

“Easy food and drink, very relaxed“

“My wife and I enjoy eating at Culver’s, but I’ve recently had a couple of disappointments. We have been purchasing the pints of ice cream in their freezer to take home with us, only to be very disappointed when the ice cream inside is nothing like what it’s supposed to be.An example, my chocolate volcano was supposed to have different things in it , but when I ate it, there was nothing but chocolate custard in it no little M&M’s no chocolate pieces no cake no cookies no nothing. I I talked to one of the employees and explained everything and she was very polite and acted like I would maybe get a another one to replace it for free but once she went back to talk to the manager, he said no.. I was very disappointing especially when pints are like six dollars each. From now on My Wife and I will buy our ice cream at either Walmart or Publix . It’s a lot less expensive and you actually get what you pay for.“

“We decided on a burger and fries for the Fourth of July, and it was all delicious. No reservations needed. Walk in and order at the counter. I love that they have fun sauces on their condiment bar…..truffle aioli, garlic ranch, chipotle mayo, buffalo ranch, etc. You can sit inside in the AC or outside with a nice water view.

As someone who has to eat gluten free, this was the first gluten free burger bun that didn’t fall apart on me. No extra cost for a gluten free bun! The chef came out to speak with me about my accommodations prior to ordering. 10/10 service

My only complaint:
Fries are not served as a side with your burger. You have to pay for the fries. If it’s just two of you, I suggest getting the large order of fries to split instead of two individual to help save a few bucks.

We spent about $45 on two burgers, a large fry, and one drink.“

“⸻ 10/10 Experience at the Vineland Location! I had an absolutely amazing experience at the Vineland location. The food came out quickly and was incredibly delicious—fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. Our server, Edisson, truly went above and beyond. He made us feel like royalty with his attentiveness, kindness, and genuine passion for what he does. Even with our large group, everything was handled flawlessly and with a smile. A big shoutout to the manager as well, who was so friendly and accommodating in helping arrange everything perfectly. This visit was easily a 10/10, and I will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Abby knocked it out of the park today. Everything we needed was delivered to our table before we had to request it. Positive attitude, fast service, good food. Parents in law qualified for the senior discount which is nice to offer.

BF and I here on vacation and are trying to avoid chains we have at home. We made it a priority to hit Chili’s mostly bc of the memes lol but it was unironically worth the trip. I marked dinner but it was an early dinner“

“A very cool experience. The food is tasty too!“

“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!“

“Nice pool for kids and adults. Nice bar for the adults. Great day for in between park visits. Big slide for the kids, hot tub and toddlers splash area. They have it all here.“
