50 Best American Restaurants near Championsgate

“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!“

“Great location right in the heat of all the resort amenities. There are waiter/waitresses walking around taking and delivering orders straight to your chairs. We ordered the mahi sandwich, chicken sandwich, kids coconut tenders, and the kids sweet and sour meatballs with a mix of fruit and fries amongst the meals. Everything was delivered to the chairs hot and fries were still crispy. Both the mahi and chicken sandwiches were a bit sloppy with sauce/slaw/toppings, but flavors were good. The piece of chicken was large. The mahi wasn't breaded which was great. A bit too heavy on the slaw imo. Good portions. The coconut tenders seemed homemade with breading flaking off. Good flavor, orange dipping sauce. I sent the kids meatballs back and swapped for more tenders because the meatballs were 90% breading. Very unfortunate because I was looking forward to those. I honestly expected a frozen meatball with the sauce and peppers/pinneapple so I was surprised that it was something else. I was quite sad to send it back. The waitress was incredibly nice about it and eagerly helped to swap it out for something else. Waters were brought with the meal. Fruit was cantaloupe, honeydew, pinneapple, and blueberries. Tap pay accepted. Prices were high, but it's resort food, so we expected as such. Posting the menu here because we couldn't find it ahead of time. We waited about 25 mins for 4 meals. Not bad at all!“

“This has been one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. Im from Philadelphia, PA visiting for my birthday. They delivered. I had the pleasure of meeting Raj and Chloessa aka Chloe. The best customer service EVER. I cannot wait until we come back. I love being an ICON Select member. This hotel made me feel RICH. I can't wait to share you all with my family. RAJ Even gave me an umbrella upon leaving. They think about everything. Thank you.“

“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 🇨🇦“

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

“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.“

“This was one of the unique experiences we had in Walt disney world this year.
It was one of my favorite restaurants to dine if not the favorite. The bowls are unique and flavorful, and there were plenty of choices. It was easy to find a place to sit although they had queues for ordering. My favorite dish was the moon light bowl, which came in unusual colors and a bomb of flavors.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Wow....what a great place!! Food, service, facility, atmosphere....all fabulous!! Portions were very generous. The variety of food, along with the quality and flavor made this our forever go-to restaurant. Prices are really good as well. Drink options were fabulous too.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“An absolutely incredible experience! Service was exceptional and food was delicious. Thank you to Dakota (our server) and Chef David for taking care of me with my allergies (bell pepper, treenut, Celiac). They both went above and beyond! Chef David came to the table to discuss my options. Even the hostess asked if anyone in our party had allergies right when we walked in. I was very impressed and had a wonderful meal. The artisanal salad was yummy and much larger than I expected. The Saganaki itself is gf and can be served with gf crackers. And of course, the wine list will blow you away. Thank you again--we'll be back!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Our waitress Dasila was wonderful!! She was so attentive and helpful and was the life of the party when we sang happy birthday for my daughter! Also the calamari was one of the best I have ever had anywhere. Really exceptional. Lastly, Michelle the hostess was darling and we loved her too! Truly great place - wonderful staff, great food, and beautiful restaurant“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“Fantastic food, even the children’s meals were extremely tasty! The only quick service place in Disney I’ve come across where fries do not come included with the meal (except kids meals) and the fries are not standard Disney fries, so be prepared for that, my daughter did not like that change. It took a long time for the food to be ready and the place was very loud, but the food was still great!“

“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!“

“Fast service and the food was great.“

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