“This was my second time eating at this Cheddars location. We are from Palm Beach County, FL and the nearest Cheddars is almost an hour drive away. Whenever we come to Orlando for vacation we enjoy the food here.

The first time was in March for a pick up order and it was delicious! The manager was very friendly and offered me a free drink because I was waiting for my order.

The second time was this past Sunday. We had the best server Arthur!!! While we were deciding on what to order he came out with delicious croissants. He was very attentive and provided great service! Please ask to be seated in his area and I know you will enjoy your dining experience!

The food and drinks were delicious! Definitely will dine here again!“

Recommend this place to others and ask for Lynwood as your server.“

“They clearly put effort into this food as it was amazing, especially desert! I recommend getting the Blackened Fish Market Sandwich, fries, and Vanilla Gelato. Unfortunately, it is on the expensive side (~$35 per person).

Their service was another reason why our experience was so good. Our server (Luz) was great and exceptionally kind! She frequently returned to the table and got us everything we needed.

The atmosphere was okay, wasn’t too loud but wasn’t necessarily “good” either.

Another thing to note is that they have a nice bar to order drinks and the schedule on Google is wrong (we went during a time when it was “closed”).“

“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.“

“I went to a Josh Ross and Nate Smith country concert at the House of Blues on April 9th, 2026. It was my first time ever there, and to say I enjoyed my time would be an understatement. Not only is it right in downtown Disney Springs, which was awesome, so you can explore that before your concert, but it was a smaller, intimate-type of concert venue, with an open floor area, main upper level area, and second floor balcony area, which provided more than enough room for standing and still having excellent views of the stage and artists. The drinks were good and I didn’t get sick at this venue from alcohol poisoning, expensive though, but it is right in Disney Springs, so understandable. Service was VERY friendly, and security precautions were A+++ They had everyone go through metal detectors, and were scanned head to toe, all bags and purses thoroughly checked, and there were sheriffs and security actively present all throughout the venue from beginning to end. I will MOST DEFINITELY come back here for future concerts. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

We each ordered something different and every plate was outstanding. Miguel was our server. He was excellent! Big thanks to Miguel and the entire team. You really made a long layover 1000x better.

“I had a 2.5 hour layover so I decided to come here first and then go to Orange County brewing after. I am a craft beer enthusiast so I wanted to try this place first before I went to a smaller location in the MCO airport. I had a Five Point IPA and it was very flavorful with a smooth finish for 20 ounces. I was thinking about getting the flight of three and that was going to be $20 so I chose not to. I also got the Jason’s Mom Tacos and they were very good with a little sweet and spicy sauce on them.“
