50 Best American Restaurants in Lake Buena Vista

“Thanks Emily A for the amazing service. We had a fantastic meal!“

“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“

“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!“

“One of the best dining options in Disney Springs by far! Definitely order the fried chicken, it’s stellar. I highly recommend the deviled eggs as well, but all the food we ordered was fantastic. The moonshine flight was delicious and SO fun (all the drinks had a kick to them but weren’t overly strong)! Service was fantastic too, will definitely be back.
Possibly helpful note - on the Disney app it said it was fully booked all day, but we walked up as a party of two and didn’t wait at all for a table. Depends on the day and time I’m sure, this was on a weekday during lunch, but try your luck!“

“A unique and exciting eating experience.“

“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.“

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

“Always love our visits to WBG. The wait staff was amazing, Kyle, our server, was knowledgeable and so personable, as were the other servers nearby. A total team effort and we loved it! George was there and he stopped by our table and chatted. Great guy that truly loves his restaurant and it really shows! We'll be back! Can't wait!!“

“Our family of two adults, a 10-year old and an 8-year old ate here during our two week stay in Disney World.\n\nAlthough we were staying over in All Sports Music, we took a trip on the boat from Magic Kingdom to eat here. It was nice to get away from the crowds but really it's about the bison burgers which was excellent. You can have it rare, medium or well done. \n\nAs it was a pleasant evening, we decided not to book into the main restuarant and used the takeaway service. There's seating outside near the geysers.\n\nWell worth the trip for these tasty bison burgers. Enjoy!“

“Character dining and delicious food!“

“Delicious bubble waffles and crepes!“

“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.“

“Easy food and drink, very relaxed“

“Great food and awesome people!“

“Excellent atención, buena comida muy fresca“

“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.“

“They provide quick customer service. I midday enjoy eating in the area surrounded by trees. They make some unique items. Their night blossom nonalcoholic specialty drink is beautiful and refreshing. The pongu lumpia is simply unique with a nice filling inside a slight crunchy shell for a nice side snack. I wish to revisit and order again. I appreciate how they nicely complement the surrounding atmosphere through a different touch of some food.

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

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

“Good food, just expensive, but this is Disney.“

“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.“

“Great variety of delicious food. We ordered the BBQ Jerk Chicken Strips & the Combination bowl. Both were amazing and came out quickly

They also have a mobile order area where you can order on the app & pick it up without waiting in line.

There is limited seating indoors, but plenary of seating outside and by the pool.“

“We stopped by John T's for a cocktail and dessert. We sat at the bar. The service was amazing, and the cocktails were delicious. We split a dessert that was rich and hit the spot. The bar/lounge is "open", but it felt cozy due to the lighting and just enough separation.“

“ambiance antique frontier“

“Child Friendly, indoor dining, good food, great salads, large portion, great desserts, affordable prices, outside bar with cocktails, open early, two swimming pools, Shopping, arcade room, computer room to check-in and print airline tickets.“

“Awesome time along with good craft beer by local breweries!“

“Quality product. I don't know another breakfast place I've been to in recent times that put out such a extensive (excellent) buffet, AND managed to pair it with equally excellent table service. From check in to check out we were accommodated. Multiple rooms, great for large groups or quiet morning coffee. Very comfortable chairs. Tables far enough apart to accommodate any mobility needs.#access #ada #shadesofgreen #breakfast #buffet #service #coffee“

“William, our server was very attentive. We ordered the Salmon and NY Strip. The Salmon came out undercooked and still pink in the middle, we informed William and he immediately apologized and took the plate back. Not even a minute later the FB Director came to our table and apologized and ensured that they are disappointed in the quality and will bring a new Salmon. The FB Director then walked the new salmon to our table, waited for my girlfriend to cut into it and approve and it was delicious. They even got us a dessert on the house. While mistakes and human error will always happen it was very nice to see the steps the team followed to ensure they made up for the slight inconvenience. A job well done and thank you for a great dinner!“

“Excellent drinks great atmosphere“

“Absolutely delicious food at reasonable prices. Sandwich was around $12 and included a big bag (1.5 oz) of chips. Pumpkin cheesecake seems seasonal and was perfectly spiced. We split the meal and came in under $10/person and left stuffed. Only frustrating part were the mosquitos. No inside eating area and while outside was relaxing with Christmas music playing, we were constantly being bit by mosquitoes. Also really missing the key lime tart they had here for years.“

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

“Garden Grove at the Walt Disney World Swan was a pleasant surprise and a great way to start our day. The atmosphere is what really sets it apart — the large dome ceiling and central tree make the dining room feel whimsical and bright, almost like eating in an indoor garden. Even without the character dining that sometimes happens here, it still feels fun and unique, especially for families.

The food was good and well-prepared. My daughter absolutely loved her Mickey waffles, which were perfectly golden and came with all the classic toppings. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict and was really impressed — the eggs were poached just right, and the hollandaise was creamy without being heavy. I tried the avocado toast and pancakes, both of which were pretty good. The avocado toast was fresh and flavorful, and the pancakes were light and fluffy. Everything tasted fresh and came out warm, which isn’t always guaranteed at a busy hotel restaurant.

Service was friendly and efficient, even with the breakfast rush. Our server checked in often and made sure coffee and juice stayed full. The buffet and menu options offered a nice variety without feeling overwhelming, and everything we tried felt like it had been made with care.

While prices are a bit high, that’s expected for a Disney-area resort restaurant. The food quality, cheerful atmosphere, and convenience made it worth it. The Garden Grove strikes a great balance between relaxing and fun — a lovely spot for families, couples, or anyone wanting a good breakfast in a beautiful space.

Overall, a solid 4-star experience: tasty food, great service, and a charming setting that makes breakfast feel just a little more special.“

“We ordered from here due to Tik Tok recommending it as it comes with a Caesar Salad.

It was good value for money, pizza was tasty and the mini Caesar salad was nice.
The pasta wasn’t great and was apparently quite bland but it’s a cheap quick meal option to go for when visiting Hollywood studios.“

“We thought this place was great! I was skeptical about the low reviews, but I'm really glad we gave it a chance! Our flight got in around 4:00 p.m., so we were arriving to Old Key West resort around 5:30 p.m. We decided we wanted to just do a quick dinner in the room and then hop in the pool. This place was perfect for us. We have two vegetarians and two dairy-free eaters in the family, so we can sometimes be hard to accommodate. However, Goods Food To Go accommodated us beautifully! The two vegetarians shared an impossible burger and a vegetarian wrap with chips and coleslaw. And the two dairy-free eaters shared an impossible burger with chips and an entree salad with lots of veggies on top. We were all happy with our meals!“

“I was lucky enough to score a re-opening day breakfast reservation. I was sat in the main dining area with half booth and chair. The atmosphere was lively and festive. It is an all you care to eat buffet with all the traditional breakfast fare. Of note are the breakfast pizza, carved ham, and personal favorite Strawberry soup! Non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price and a selection of alcoholic drinks are available as well. The characters are what makes the experience worth it!“

“A massage for your palate! Wonderful for a celebration“

“Love the ketchup delivery!“

“First time and we loved it, so much fun with Pooh and friends.“

“Shout out to Ashly C! She was so nice as our server and attentive. Welcomed us in and explained the PH to our guest first timers. We had the Kobe burgers that are on point. Have had them 3 times. Every time the chefs nailed them. Yes we are addicted to them! 😎. Great service, food and drinks!“

“We really enjoyed eating here, the salad, soup, Halloween meatloaf meal, fried chicken sandwich with fries were hot, tasty and good value for money, our server Sheldon was attentive and a nice guy to talk to!
There were a lot of people in , which made the noise level difficult for us to chat... but hey ho...it's Disney, we're all excited!“

“Loooooooove it here! Always a must do!“

“We stopped by the Baseline Tap House for an afternoon snack. Ordering was quick and easy, and there were plenty of available tables. Shared a cheese platter and pretzel with mustard. The cheese platter was inexpensive and better than expected. Great option at Hollywood Studios if you do not want a meal.“

“Awesome restaurant Great vegan options.“

“This was by far the best character dining experience we have had! So much to enjoy, beautiful presentation of the food and everything we tried was amazing. The pork was so tender and the prime rib tasted amazing. All three appetizers were delicious and the dessert were definitely the star of the show, not including the characters of course. Would definitely recommend“

“Manager Aaron & his entire staff was helpful when we had a medical emergency while eating there this past weekend. Everyone moved with urgency and took great care of us. This has always been one of our favorite spots in Disney Springs and this cements our loyalty. Many thanks!“

“The perfect spot to grab some Dole whip.

We were at The Poly to catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks from the beach and thought it would be great to enjoy a treat whilst we catch the show.

The staff was very friendly and accommodating and made the experience very lovely.

We got a twist (vanilla and pineapple) along with a seasonal offering of Lime. These were very good portions!

The dole whip was so good - not sure if the fireworks show made this role whip more magical, but there was something that made this experience special. I highly recommend doing this for your future trip!

I will definitely be coming back for seconds on my next trip.“

“Amazing, great food, love the ambiance!“

“This place is great, tomato soup is to die for. Inexpensive especially for the portions. I saw a ton of negative reviews on the flatbread and the food, especially on yelp. Genuinely question if they were the unlucky few that got food at a bad time. When I was there I got the all meat flat bread and tomato soup, elite tier combination. Someone I was with got the chicken parm sandwich (which I never like anywhere) they said it was very good.“
