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“

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

“Delicious and will need to come back everytime I visit Disney!

We came to Homecomin' based on all the amazing reviews we had seen online and made sure to grab a reservation way ahead of our trip as we did not want to miss the opportunity to eat there. It can get difficult grabbing a spot here so we reccomend reservations whenever you can.

We arrived and probably waited about 5-10 minutes before we had gotten seated.

At first we wanted to grab a bunch of different items as we were starving and excited to eat here, but thankfully our server talked us out of it because by the end of the meal, we knew we had ordered enough to be stuffed! The portions are filling so keep that in mind.

We started with the Hush Puppies to warm up our pallete. They were so good - crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. They paired very well with the pimento cheese and jalapeño jelly. A great bite.

I had to grab the Thigh High Chicken Biscuits and they lived and maybe even surpassed my expectations. It was so juicy, buttery, and flaky and every bite hit! Two sandwiches in and I was already feeling full but I could not resist finishing these guys off! I will probably get this again when I come back because they were that good!

I am already planning my next Disney trip and Homecomin' is at the very top! I hear they have a great weekend only brunch that i would love to give a try. If you are pondering whether to try this place or not, you will absolutely regret not coming here! Highly recommend.“

“Character dining and delicious food!“

“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“

“We love Geyser Point. Small menu but a great Bison Cheeseburger. They even have a gluten free bun for the burger and can remove the crispy onion straws from the burger to make it gluten free.

Boyfriend has tried the Turkey BLT Sandwich and liked it.

We tried the macaroni & “cheese” bites (plant based) before I had to go gluten free. No, we are not plant based. We just wanted to try them. They were very good.

Highly recommend going in the evening/night. Cute little outdoor restaurant and bar by Bay Lake. They play the music for Happily Ever After. You can see and hear the music for the electric parade on the water.“

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

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

“We had a wonderful experience at Wine Bar George. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to unwind and enjoy a meal. We ordered the steak for two, mussels, and giant profiterole for dessert, and everything was excellent. The steak was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the mussels were fresh and delicious, and the profiterole was a fantastic way to end the meal. Each dish was well-prepared and really hit the mark and it was a great dining experience.“

“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.“

“Excellent atención, buena comida muy fresca“

“Delicious bubble waffles and crepes!“

“Easy food and drink, very relaxed“

“Heard about this divisive Disney World treat that people either love it or hate it and knew i had to give it a try.

Cast members as always provided wonderful service and were amazing to interact with.

The Pongo Lumpia is said treat. The best way to describe it is this warm, pineapple and cream cheese spring roll. I was not sure if it is something I would enjoy but as soon as I took my first bite, I realized this was a delicious treat! Its got this crispy exterior from the wrapper that plays so well with the warm creamy interior. Its fresh and yummy and gives me some soft cheesecake vibes. Did I also mention that it may be one of the only treats in all of Disney World that is under 4$?

The price alone is reason enough for me to come back and grab this on my next Disney trip. I did get it twice during my last trip because it was so good and a perfect snack size. Cannot wait to come back and get it again!“

“Great food and awesome people!“

“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.“

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

“Had their entire menu over a week of mobile app orders.
Best entree- any bowl with the kale side salad/protein/rice. Beef stew bowl was great. Chicken tenders and fries all solid. Beware the African curry was different every time we ordered- sometimes sweet sometimes super spicy. Burger is pretty good but small. Didn't love the falafel (dry), the butternut squash soup, or the any of the cake dessert- the Mickey ice cream sandwich was the best dessert. We did the special disney refill cups, super convenient for coffee throughout the day and afternoon. The tea is awful, coffee is great, soft drinks standard. Staff are wonderful and mobile app ordering super convenient and accurate with orders. Inside is a bit gaudy for seating area but outside tables great vibe. Pro tip. If you need to leave your hotel room for some laptop writing or work time in morning or evening, the Mara outdoor tables are the best private place to work. All lobby areas have people walking around you, whereas Mara most people in early AM or PM are doing pick up orders.“

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

“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.“

“Love it Our go to Epcot restaurant“

“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.“

“Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and extremely attentive staff. Amer was an awesome server. He did extra things to make our 3 year old feel special. The king crab and lobster bisque and the almond cheesecake were all spectacular. One of the best meals we’ve ever had.“

“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“

“I got a $45 dining credit from the hotel and decided to try breakfast. I was there for work, and tired of the hotel’s breakfast and needed something more aligned with my preference, and this definitely hit the spot. My waiter, whose name I cannot remember but initials are HH, was amazing and added to the great experience. I ordered the avocado toast but traded the prosciutto for smoked salmon since I don’t eat pork. It was absolutely delicious and my poached eggs were cooked PERFECTLY. I take the as serious as I take my steak so I was very happy. The passion fruit mango juice was insanely good though my blood sugar did not think so but I got some to go anyways. The potatoes were crispy and seasoned, and the restaurant was clean and had a great view of the lake. Though I ordered from the menu, they also had a buffet option.“

“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.“

“Great experience at the Garden Grove restaurant this morning. Our server Karen was beyond friendly and caring. Although I did not specify that I had a gluten allergy, she was able to sense that by the way I ordered I either had a gluten sensitivity or an allergy and decided to take it upon herself to have my potatoes made without flour. Well, I did not ask for this the fact that she was able to sense that something was different about my order and to bring me out separate potatoes that would not made with gluten was amazing. This server was beyond friendly, caring, and dedicated quite frankly she was one of the nicest people we encountered during our stay at Disney hats off to Karen and the great food at the Garden Grove restaurant.“

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

“Loooooooove it here! Always a must do!“

“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!“

“A good place to eat in Hollywood studios.
Catalina Eddie's is one of the fast-service food counters located on Sunset Boulevard in Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World. It is a just before the attractions like The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. It's a casual spot so no reservations are needed. You can use the Mobile Order via the My Disney Experience app or just go up to the window and order.
The menu has a fair amount of choices. The menu includes items like personal-sized cheese or pepperoni pizza, Caesar salads (with or without chicken), pasta dishes like chicken alfredo or marinara options, meatball subs, breadsticks, and desserts. Our party ordered several of the pizza’s with the Salads and drinks. It was a very reasonable price and the salad and pizza’s were quite good. The food was ready quickly. Seating is open tables and first-come-first-taken. Namely, there are lots of tables but the tables serve several of the counters so finding a table for your party can be challenging. It may not be gourmet food but it is good food, at a decent price served quickly. Overall, I would recommend it for the visitors looking for good food in the Hollywood Studios park.“

“Love the ketchup delivery!“

“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!“

“My fiancée Stephanie and I recently stopped at Planet Hollywood while spending the evening walking around Disney Springs. We decided to give it a try because it’s such a well-known restaurant and the building itself is pretty impressive from the outside.

When you first walk in, the atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights. The restaurant has a really cool movie theme with memorabilia and displays throughout the dining areas that make it feel like you’re inside a Hollywood museum mixed with a restaurant. If you’re someone who enjoys movies and film history, there’s a lot to look around at while you wait for your food.

We were seated fairly quickly and were greeted by our waitress, Jennifer, who was extremely polite and attentive from the start. She introduced herself, took our drink order quickly, and checked on us regularly throughout the meal. Jennifer honestly did a great job and her friendly attitude made the experience much better.

For our meals, we both ordered burgers. Unfortunately, this is where the experience became a bit disappointing. When Stephanie received her burger, it was very undercooked and essentially raw in the middle, to the point where she didn’t feel comfortable eating it. My burger was cooked a little more than hers, so I did go ahead and eat mine, but it was still slightly undercooked compared to what I would normally expect. Flavor-wise it was okay, but nothing particularly memorable.

One thing I will say is that the service from Jennifer really stood out. She continued to check on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and was very professional and friendly the entire time. Good service can make a big difference during a meal, and she definitely did her part to provide a good experience.

Overall, I would say the atmosphere and service were the best parts of our visit. The movie theming is fun and the restaurant has a unique vibe that fits well with the entertainment environment of Disney Springs. Unfortunately, the food quality didn’t quite match the atmosphere during our visit, particularly with Stephanie’s burger being undercooked.

I’m hoping this was just an off day for the kitchen because Planet Hollywood has such a recognizable name and a great location at Disney Springs. With some improvement in the kitchen, the experience could easily match the great atmosphere and service the restaurant already provides.“

“Excellent service and the angus bacon cheeseburger delicious.“

“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!“

“Alot of people give bad reviewss and i can see why, but my family has had good experiences here. The menu is small, but the food makes up for it. Yes it ain't much more spectacular than a snack spot, but it's a nice place, has seating, and good views. Tuscan gnocchi soup is great, burgers are some of the best in the park, onion rings sub par. Shakes are good.

My main. Complaint is how loud it is inside and service can be slow, but our waitress last time was working hard.“

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