Restaurants in Lake Buena Vista

“Server was good but doesn't make up for the steaks not being made correctly or the kids shrimp that tasted terrible...Family of 8 and not 1 meal good....never have I spent $119 and still wanted McD. *Update The next day after making this review I was contacted by the assistant General manager of the property. After speaking about our experience and the issues we had we were given the name for the manager that would be on duty the next day. We spoke with the rest of our party, I called the restaurant to speak to this person, I was told they were unavailable at that time. Our party then decided to go across the pond to the T-rex Cafe. After putting in our parties reservation I asked to speak to a manager from the resurant side. I was directed to speak with a gentleman named Paul who I then explained out predicament and was more than accommodating.”

“Awesome place ! Gipsy was great too”

“This ice cream shop is inside Disney Springs, so you DON'T need theme park tickets the day you go. All the vegan + gluten free flavors I've tried were good! -Peanut Butter Brittle Caramel Fudge -Freckled Mint Chocolate Chip -Strawberry & Coconut Water Sherbet They have several more vegan flavors that are not gluten-free. Plus dairy/non-vegan ice cream. This is a great place to stop by if you're going to a movie at AMC, seeing Drawn to Life (the live Cirque du Soleil show), or just shopping at Springs.”

“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Hidden gem within Animal Kingdom! Was pleasantly surprised with all dishes ordered...ahi tuna nachos OMG to die for! Kim Chi burger, add the smoked gouda and it will taste like your best local Hawaiian Teri cheeseburger everrrr!!!”

“Absolutely amazing experience. Came with my two kids for the first time and we had the best time and great food! Our server Izzy was great and attended to everything we needed! My daughter rated the Mac and cheese 100 stars 😃”

“The food was delicious and there is a great selection of local beer. The service was top notch! Enjoy”

“Bacon was our server extremely attentive and extremely knowledgeable. There was an issue with our steak and it was immediately taken care of and the manager personally took care of and made sure it was good. Next level of customer service. Food was great!”

“Sam (our server) and Angeline (our Sommelier), along with a very nice young man (been there about 8 months) who brought us in (sorry I didn’t catch his name) made sure we wanted for nothing. We asked for suggestions and they delivered all the way through dessert!! Professional, engaging, and genuinely nice people! Oh, and the food!!!!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Awesome cocktails, food, music, and aesthetic. We loved it”

“Awesome restaurant Great vegan options.”

“We celebrated our son's birthday yesterday at Morimoto's Disney Springs. We had Peking duck both regular and gluten free for my daughter in law who has celiac's disease. I always know Morimoto's is safe for her to eat there.”

“My girlfriend and I have been a fan tournament of champions and guy’s grocery games and were excited to try out Maneet’s restaurant. I will honestly say this the best Indian food I have ever had. Everything was fresh and delicious. The chicken Tika flatbread and bread flight were highlights”

“Great pizza that’s made infront of you and is ready quickly. This is like a subway but for pizza-you go along the counter and choose as many toppings as you like. Offers vegan cheese and lots of vegan toppings. If you let them know you’re vegan, they’ll change their gloves and use dedicated equipment/fresh tubs of toppings and sauce to avoid cross contamination, and one staff member will deal with your order to minimise cross contamination which is great. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable about vegans and what is suitable. Great pizza, loved it for a quick and easy meal. Prices really reasonable too.”

“Great experience for Sunday brunch at Wine Bar George!! The brioche French toast with coconut cream is superb!! Had the steak & eggs, and others at the table the breakfast charcuterie board. All superb!!! Will def be returning!!”

“Lightning speed for us when we placed our order. Less than 30 seconds from pushing the button “we’re here prepare our food” to “pick up ready”. Delicious! The cold cuties oranges are refreshing addition to your meal!”

“Customer service is amazing! We had late reservations and the kids were hungry. They let us check in and took us back as soon as they could. Food is delicious. We would eat here again! Best place yet out of all of the parks. We highly recommend!”

“Wonderful restaurant! A quick monorail or boat ride from Magic Kingdom. We shared the lobster bisque, probably the best I have ever had. We had the blackened redfish and the vegetable paella. The veggies in the paella were roasted and full of flavor but the dish was a bit spicy. The fish was terrific. The views of the lake and Magic Kingdom are beautiful and the dock is a great place to watch the nightly electric water pageant.”

“Not one of the best places in the park to stop at but they do have fast counter food service and refreshments. There also are some drums, as part of their theming, so the kids can play with them and have fun, plus it has shade. Not the best but a good option if you are nearby.”

“Delicious bubble waffles and crepes!”

“Delicious food and amazing service !!”

“Disney world makes the perfect iconic Turkey Leg. It is incredibly and perfectly juicy, tender, flavourful, huge, and filling. It is available here at Fife & Drum Tavern in Epcot which also sells beer, popcorn, hot dogs, and other disney snacks like Mickey Pretzels with cheese. Makes for a quick and tasty meal on the go as you explore the world showcase.”

“Love this place, the ambiance is great, great jazz music and the beignets were delicious!”

“Server was good but doesn't make up for the steaks not being made correctly or the kids shrimp that tasted terrible...Family of 8 and not 1 meal good....never have I spent $119 and still wanted McD. *Update The next day after making this review I was contacted by the assistant General manager of the property.

“This restaurant features the humor and aesthetic of the Jungle Cruise, but in the format of a sit down restaurant. If you enjoy skipper humor, you'll likely be amused by the jokes made by the staff here. The food itself is good, but I can't say I've ever had anything here that was outstanding. The entertainment and theme are certainly the big draw. There are plenty of days when they have same day reservations available or they open the wait list, so it's not a bad option if you're making some last minute plans.”

“Great food and great service”

“Great food for a reasonable price❤️”

“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.”

“The flowers and topiaries are amazing”

“My wife and I had dinner at this restaurant during our recent stay at the WDW Swan Hotel. We enjoyed the meals, Basa fish in a parchment paper which was well seasoned and cooked. We will return to this restaurant the next time we visit WDW.”

“As always an amazing start with Robbie's hospitality greeting us warmly. Carlos was knowledgeable of the menu and had great recommendations. I highly recommend the drunken burger, but it is a messy option...grab a towelette.”

“A memorable dinner. From the wine to the dinner, the entrees and appetizers that we ordered were mind blowing. I've been to 3 star Michelin restaurants and to Dubai's famous restaurant under the vessel hotel and Todd English has been one of the best restaurants I have visited”

“Jovanny went above and beyond to accommodate us!! Great place, great food and atmosphere 10/10 would absolutely go again”

“Enjoyed our dinner. My son (11) loved being able to spot boats, turtles and fish in the lake. Enjoyed our meal especially the fish tacos and deviled eggs.”

“One of our favorite spots in Disney Springs. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Love that the pasta is made fresh in house. As much as we love Disney so much of the food is processed elsewhere and having fresh food is a treat in this part of the world!”

“Marcus and Karrin were exceptionally attentive to all needs and recommendations were on point. Karrin is a fabulous mixologist. Cocktails were on point. Go enjoy a meal here.”

“Lots of great BBQ, tasty sides, delicious desserts served family-style! Even my picky eaters loved it! Wear your stretchy pants for this one!”

“While traveling we enjoyed an early dinner on a Sunday evening. Awesome service and atmosphere of the restaurant and then the food was delicious . We sampled 4 different appetizers and had 2 sushi rolls for our main meal. We would certainly return if we are in the area again.”

“Ben was an awesome server and the food was absolutely to die for! Loved every minute of it from appetizers to dessert. My only regret is that I don't live closer to enjoy it more regularly.”

“We had but a mere breakfast before Magic Kingdom but I can honestly say this was the best breakfast I’ve had in a long while. Just from the first bite of home fries, I was hooked. Usually home fries are either not cooked enough, mushy. These were amazing and the eggs Benedict was perfection. I’ll be back tomorrow!”

“Great meal fast service nice place”

“Thanks Jenelly for your great service!!!”

“Jessica was our server and she was amazing. We were there as a group of 7 for my daughter's birthday. Food was great and Jessica made the occasion fantastic”

“The food at the Plaza is good but not great. Burger was pretty good. Club sandwich is good. Onion rings were ok. The food is just consistently good but nothing special. Can't beat the location for somewhere to sit down and enjoy a meal.”

“Wow, this hit the spot! It's hot, and I am tired from all of the walking, lol. So right in front of us is the Sunshine Tree Terrace. A quick stop 'n go type of place that offers soft-serve ice cream. Their special is this citrusy flavor called Orange Cream Float! The price was $5.29. It reminds me of the creamsicles from years ago. I'm happy again!”

“I got the chocolate peppermint cookie Sunday Loved it a little melted but delicious �. Cast member was very nice.”

“Great sandwiches. Cuban and Italian for me”

“Great place to get a snack or a treat, while I was there right outside was a parade which was fun to watch and eat. I recommend getting a table before the parade because it gets really busy during and right before the parade. I got the turkey leg, a lot of people love it but it was not for me. The other people I was with loved it though so I recommend trying it if you have not had it.

Vegetarian options: A lot of fruits.

Dietary restrictions: They have different kinds of fruits for dietary restrictions also.

Parking: Hundreds of parking spots

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible”

“The flowers and topiaries are amazing”

“Good food, quick service restaurant, inside dining.”

“Enjoyed my Mickey waffles for daily breakfast during my stay.”

“My kids and I were at Disney springs today, we are in town for the #garysenisefoundations #snowballexpress and one of your workers and older gentleman who was wearing a yellow ball cap/white shirt started talking with them and asked what they were in town for and knew what the shirts they were wearing were about and ended up purchasing their drinks for them. My daughter came out and told me and as she did she started crying because of the kindness he had shown and how much it meant that he knew of our family’s loss, so thank you to this man for your gesture, you made my kids see that the whole world hasn’t forgotten that their dads sacrifice meant something and that their are good people everywhere.”

“Yummy Breakfast! Great service!”

“10/10 highly recommend. I’m not a drinker at all quite frankly I hate the taste of alcohol in any form but Amorette’s is the only alcoholic slushie I’ve ever had that I don’t taste the wine at all. I guess that’s kind of dangerous but 😂🙃. The pastries and the other little bites are great as well. This is one of my go to stops whenever we come to Orlando.”

“Got dole whip with rum. It's a must evertime I'm here .”

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!”

“Easy food and drink, very relaxed”

“Cookies are super sweet but are really good.”

“We stayed here for a weeklong family vacation which happened to be during hurricane milton. The staff was so friendly throughout the whole experience even though they were working double time to accommodate all the extra guests during the hurricane. We tried everything on the menu throughout the week and the majority of the food was delicious and priced well. We really appreciated all of the employees who made us feel at home during our trip.”

“Delicious and fun!! Our waitress was extremely friendly too!”

“Simply delicious and fabulous”

“Good food! Nice staff. Pizza and chicken parmigiana absolutely delicious”

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

“Love the cast members very friendly”

“A great place to go to as a Disney Adult looking to enjoy a few drinks~ very good service our waiter was attentive and friendly to talk to food was also very enjoyable. Highly recommend”

“We stayed at Coronado Springs for 6 nights and dined at 3 Bridges 3 of those nights! We absolutely loved it and couldn’t get enough! Personal favorites - The sangria, corn dip, burger!!”

“This trip was my first time in the Avatar-themed space and the internet has long told me to get the drink at Pongu Pongu. I think it’s a cool drink, very colorful and vibrant. But I don’t think it’s something that I would go out of my way to get if I was in Animal Kingdom. If you’re in the area and want something refreshing and tart to drink, go for it.”

“Epilogue - the speakeasy at Four Seasons Orlando- was the most incredible cocktail experience I’ve ever had. Jacqueline, the bartender created some of the cocktails herself, each rooted in the history of Florida using local or local inspired ingredients. Each comes with its own story and unique serving. The speakeasy experience was fun, and well thought out and exclusive. Valerie, who sat us and explained the story of the bar set the tone for a night that really takes you back in time and on a cocktail journey. Incredible experience.. and I can’t wait to come back.”

“Tried their caramelised nuts which were absolutely amazing! There is a sitting area shared with Joffrey's that is very calm and peaceful. I think it's my favorite spot away from the crowd at Animal Kingdom.”

“Really nice dinner tonight I had the seafood pie it was incredible with lots of fish”

“We booked a night here in a savannah view room . The room was great , very spacious , very clean with a balcony with a stunning view of the Arusha savannah . We saw so many animals - giraffe , zebra , wildebeest , gazelle , pelicans , ostrich and a variety of birds . It truly was perfect. We used the quick service for breakfast so we could enjoy it on our balcony and this was perfect . I hope we can stay for longer in the future .”

“This little drink shack packs a powerful punch - literally - with everything from daiquiris to beers and a full bar. Sometimes the line can be a little long and if so, there are other places to buy booze on the right and the left - you can even get drinks at the produce market next door. Convenience comes to mind here. ?”

“The service can take a while depending when you go, but the food is delicious. The pineapple bread is a must-have, and the desserts are excellent!”

“We love Olivia’s. The fried chicken is the best on Disney property and def beats chef Art Smiths. Crunchy and not delicious. The prime rib is also amazing. Juicy, cooked perfect and not much fat. My only complaint is there use to be a nice red wine sauce with horse radish sauce for the prime rib. They have taken this off the menu and replaced it with chimichurri sauce. Chefs at Olivia’s who eats Chimichurri on prime rib? You totally missed the mark and took away from your delicious prime rib. Please bring back the wine sauce. You are failing your customers.”

“I was about getting a new home for myself and family with my savings after my retirement, not know i was interacting with a swindler who told me she’s a realtor. Now i see reasons why it’s good buying properties in person, But I thank God I was able to recover all the money with the help of Lisa the newly appointed lost fund recovery agent by Donald Trump, she’s an amazing woman. If you’ve been swindled before then I can help you with her info so you can reach out to her for your recovery”

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

“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.”

“My daughter got a candied apple from the candy cauldron shop only to find out it was rotten from the middle. 🤢🤮🤮🤮”

“最近愛上它😍酸甜酸甜的😋”

“The best attendance ever. I meet a Brazilian lady work at this place, was awesome, because I live in Orlando almost 6 years, I never meet any Brazilian worked this coffee shop.”

“We picked up the Yeti Sundae and it was just what we needed on a hot day. Snow capped chocolate ice cream piled as high as the Himalayas with blue frost sprinkles and a Yeti chocolate lurking on the tip. (Snow is made with vanilla ice cream)”

“The milk everfloweth here. Blue is my favorite, but mix green and blue for a real treat. May the stars light your way.”

“The chicken sandwich was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Coleslaw was good as well. They have many good options for kids here as well from Chicken Tenders to Uncrustables. Food is served pool side which was awesome and made our pool trip that much more enjoyable.”

“I love that they gave Cupcakes . You can always find a cupcake at the parks. You can here!!! it’s a nice little sweet shop”

“Excellent atención, buena comida muy fresca”

“Great service from Chance. He checked on us frequently with an enthusiastic and friendly presence. Our day by the amazing pool was very relaxing. Kids enjoyed the watersides and waterfalls while we relaxed.”

“This location was fantastic. The food was fresh, the staff was nice, and the establishment was very clean. We were greeted upon arrival and our food was made very quickly. We will be back again.”

“Went to the Disney Springs location tonight and it was great! Friendly staff, great food for a great price. With it being a little chilly outside for Florida the outside heaters were great. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend this restaurant. Will definitely be back.”

“One of our favorite spots in Disney Springs. Delicious food and a great atmosphere. Love that the pasta is made fresh in house. As much as we love Disney so much of the food is processed elsewhere and having fresh food is a treat in this part of the world!”

“Great fun for all the ages of our group from 7 to 70.”

“Our family of four - 2 adults and 2 kids enjoyed our dinner at this restaurant during our recent trip to Disneyworld. We had the chicken meals while our kids had the Ravioli pasta. The food was delicious and the portions are quite generous. Our servers made sure we were well catered for and we will return to this restaurant next time we visit Disneyworld.”

“Great pizza that’s made infront of you and is ready quickly. This is like a subway but for pizza-you go along the counter and choose as many toppings as you like.
