49 Best Bar & Grill near Lake Buena Vista

“Love the cast members very friendly“

“We have been big fans of three bridges (at the Coronado resort as a whole).
We just went back last night to find a revised menu. They have focused in on a few dishes and my goodness. They have improved all the dishes to be even better than before.

The food was perfect, our server was kind and fun, and the atmosphere was beautiful. Honestly can't suggest three bridges enough.

Not pictured was the tres leches cake. This was the crown jewel of the meal. Simply incredible.“

“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!“

“Great Drinks, a bit pricey, but over all pretty good. The service is ok, the female bartenders are pretty uptight and rude, but the rest of nice laid back. If they could just fix the problem with the all Bees it would be a great little bar again.“

“We just grabbed snacks and drinks for the pool. The bartender who made my drinks was so nice. And the drinks were great. One of the few drinks I felt were made correctly in all of Disney (I.e., I felt like I actually had booze in my drink). Giant pretzels are the perfect kids treat.“

“Had hope for this place. Wait staff was great. The finger foods were great, we had pastel and a side of fried yuca. But main meal the picanha with rice bean fries etc ….the food was cold. Even the dang hot plate the picanha came on was cold. Terrible. Place was empty and they could not get it right ….? Too expensive for cold food. Not returning. Was charged top shelf caipirinha and they didn’t even tell us about that.“

“fabulous place to eat, and drink. Food was delicious, fresh made and the service was excellent.“

“Fantastic atmosphere, great drinks, and great food! strongly recommend the blackened Mahi mahi“

“Great pool side food options. You can have the food ordered and brought to your chair by using the online food ordered service and chair marker. The process is simple and quick! The buffalo wings were delicious and they serve virgin pina colodas.“

“Food and service were amazing!“

“The Guinness beef stew and NY strip steak were both delicious! Our server, Brittany, was super friendly and helpful, and to top it all off, the live music was amazing and added a lot to the atmosphere. We came here a few years ago, and had such an enjoyable experience that we had to return for our honeymoon, and brought our family to enjoy it with us! Finnegan's is the best restaurant in Universal!“

“Me and my sibling decided to have a late night dinner here and we left very happy!

Service: Despite being Saturday night we had no wait time. Our server was quick, friendly and answered any questions we had.

Food: The pricing is more than reasonable for how good the food is. I ordered the fish and chips which came out as a piping hot, huge portion with natural cut fries. We also ordered a tuna bowl that was seasoned to perfection and tasted fresh, not fishy.

Overall would come back again!“

“Great atmosphere, great food and excellent service. Ask Hilary for an awesome experience. Great birthday meal.“

“We had chicken wings here like four different times such amazing food coming out so fast. It was a little expensive, however that’s expected at a poolside bar at a resort. The chicken wings do not come with french fries so we had to get our own french fries but the Mojito was good. 👍“

“Always a good time going to David's Club for dinner, no matter the occasion. Local resident who does get there a few times each year. First time for Thanksgiving. It did not disappoint. Turkey well prepared and presented. Service with Matthew at our table was superb. Followed by great service by Chris, Jessi, and Syrena at the bar for desert. Might have to make David's our annual Thanksgiving Day dinner tradition.“

“Bar by the pool at Portofino Bay Hotel. It was a nice table with a view of the pool and a live DJ. Service was quick, and the bar food was delicious. Drinks were fun and good, and easy to order. We were not rushed, and enjoyed our time by the pool. They also did service by the pool, not just at the bar.“

“Review for Sunday’s Grill, Orlando, FL Sunday’s Grill in Orlando is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm, friendly atmosphere and excellent service set the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely invested in making sure you have the best time. Whether it's quick recommendations or checking in at just the right moments, the service is top-notch. But the real star is the food—it's simply amazing! Every dish is packed with flavor and made with care. Whether you're craving traditional comfort food or something with a unique twist, Sunday’s Grill has it all. Everything tasted fresh, perfectly seasoned, and left me wanting more. It's clear they put thought into their menu, and the quality shows. I highly recommend Sunday’s Grill for anyone in Orlando looking for great food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere. You’ll definitely leave happy and satisfied!“

“The chicken quesadillas are delicious!“

“Ok the food is NOT amazing by any means. It is decent but I gave 4 stars for convenience and fair pricing (for a resort). We came here because we got in late and didn’t feel like going to Disney Springs for dinner. I appreciated being able to walk somewhere and get food my family could/would eat. Chicken tenders and fries for the kids which they liked. I had a burger which was decent, no complaints other than the meat quality is definitely not something you’d get at a nice burger joint. We also got chicken wings which were…ok. Flavor good, meat, again, questionable. Service was good. So if you’re in a rush or arriving late, definitely give it a try. If you have time/energy to drive elsewhere for dinner, do that.“

“This was a great little hotel bar and grill. Atmosphere was 10/10. Right by the pool. Someone was playing steal drums right beside the bar and the bartender was great! I had shrimp tacos with chips and salsa. The food here isn’t going to change your life but it is good. The tortillas were fresh. The cilantro garlic sauce made the tacos very good. Shrimp had a nice char to them. Chips were pretty standard and the salsa was the Heinz salsa cup. But it was good. My husband got their special which was bourbon bbq pork sandwich and fries and it was also great. The pineapple punch cocktail was also awesome! View the menu on the Sheraton Vacation Club site. It has the most up to date menu compared to other sites.“

“Food was small plate style. I didn’t really know that before I came. We tried a few items and we thought out of everything the wings were probably the best. Drinks were good and cute for pics. Overall the atmosphere is what makes it. After we ate we walked around the massive pool, sat on the swings, and just hung out for a bit.“

“Great food! We stayed at the Cabana Bay resort and didn't find out about this place until our last night there. Ordered beef quesadillas, chicken quesadillas, mahi tacos, a cheese steak, potato wedges and Mac n cheese! All very good. we were all eating off each other's plates and enjoying every bite. I highly recommend this place if you stay at the Cabana Bay or bordering hotels/resorts.“

“What a great way to spend a weekend staycation. The staff was amazing and the room and lazy river were so much fun! I would recommend!

Parking: There were plenty of parking spots. Covered garage and open air parking spots that were close to the rooms!

Kid-friendliness: This hotel was geared toward families with children. Lazy rivers, smores and pool slides to just scratch the surface.“

“Backwater Bar is co-located with Confisco restraunt. This is a great place to walk in and get you H2O water or you favorite adult beverage. It is a full service walk up bar with lots of beer, wine, and they can make the liquor drink of your choice. There is no seating inside, but they have shaded seating just outside the door. The staff is friendly and want you to have a nice experience.“

“We've ordered wings, fish tacos, ribs. all delish. Courteous, helpful servers.. Hoping to order again, soon.“

“Have a flaming moe, take a pic with barney, and try the live machine. Then knock back duff beers while deciding what you want to between chicken and burgers.

This is a fans paradise! I wish they had an actual Moe bartender and prank phone calls, that would make this spot perfect.“

“Tremendous and fast service, meals on the weekend—every night a wonderful atmosphere! Although you have to try it, we can say that they have a menu full of variety and delicious and healthy options. A sure stop if you spend some time in Orlando!

Wheelchair accessibility: I think it would work“

“My husband and I visited this hotel for one night. The pool bar was great! Shady area for hanging at the bar or doing a “grab and go” at the pool. Service has been top notch, offering to bring our food poolside when it was ready - which was always really quick. GREAT Cobb salad (pictured) with ripe avocado, egg, and cherry tomatoes. We will definitely come here again!“

“I had an amazing time at the Cat-tail pool bar in Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando. The food was fantastic, and I must say, their Nachos are a must-try - absolutely delicious! Pablo's cocktail creations were top-notch, truly fantastic. His friendly smile and sense of humor added an extra layer of charm to the whole experience. While the prices are on the higher end, the overall experience made it worth it. I highly recommend this spot for a great poolside dining and drinking experience.“

“The food was SO good. I got the garden salad with the balsamic vinaigrette and mahi mahi, it was life changing.
Luis was our bartender and we wanted for nothing. Trust me, he will take care of you.
Overall 10/10 experience“

“The Beach Club is located next to the pool at the Hard Rock Hotel. They have a lot of table and bar seating. The bartenders were absolutely amazing!! We had a few appetizers and drinks. Get the cheesesteak, you won’t regret it!! Everything was wonderful!“

“Great bar and food to have by the pool!
THE BAR is outstanding. Great selection of beers, both the big name brands and some delicious local breweries. In the same high level are the cocktails, very creative and phenomenal taste.
Our favorites were the CORE DENSITY and the GRS. The staff is also very friendly. 10/10 experience.

THEL GRILL is great as well. You can order straight from the pool, via a QRCode, and pick up at a side window (the app wasn't updating correctly when I was there, but the Hotel had just opened, so perhaps they will have fixed it by the time you read this) either way, check with them if you think your food should already be done. I highly recommend the HUMMUS & PITA.
It's a great choice if you’re relaxing by the pool, or on their outside tables.

And seriously, don’t overlook the cocktails!“

“Good food. Love to salad with salmon.“

“Best chicken tenders we have found! We usually go early and split an 8 piece tender dinner. The cole slaw is always cold and crispy. Tenders are made fresh so we don’t mind waiting a bit for them to be fried. They are always juicy and piping hot. Love the coating they use.“

“Great pool and great food! ( no kid friendly food)“

“My favorite resort! We love the size of the rooms. Perfect for our family of 4. Pools are great. Kids activities are fun. Lots to do for everyone. Several restaurants on the property to choose from. We loved all the pools.“

“My recent stay at The Grande Cove at Marriott's Grande Vista Resort in Orlando was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Whether you're in town for the theme parks, a golf getaway, or just looking for a relaxing vacation with all the comforts of home, this place hits the mark on every level.

The accommodations were incredibly spacious and spotless. I stayed in a multi-bedroom villa, and it felt more like a high-end condo than a hotel room. The suite featured a fully equipped kitchen, washer and dryer, comfortable beds, multiple TVs, and a private balcony with serene views of the resort’s beautifully landscaped grounds. It was perfect for unwinding after a day exploring Orlando.

The Grande Cove area is peaceful and quiet, but still centrally located within the resort, making it easy to access everything. Whether it was the main pool area, the clubhouse, or the walking paths around the lakes and golf course, everything was within walking distance or just a quick ride on one of the resort shuttles.

Speaking of the pools – they were immaculate and family-friendly, with plenty of lounge chairs and shaded areas. The main pool had activities for kids, while other areas were quieter for adults looking to relax. The on-site restaurant and bar had a great variety of food and drinks, and it was nice not having to leave the resort for a casual bite or tropical cocktail.

One thing that really stood out was the attention to service and cleanliness. The staff was warm, welcoming, and professional, always going the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable. Every area we visited was spotless and well-maintained, from the fitness center to the lobby to the grilling areas.

Location-wise, the resort is just a short drive from Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld, yet it feels like a secluded retreat tucked away from the hustle and bustle. We loved being close to all the major attractions while still having a peaceful home base to return to.

The resort also offers tons of amenities—a market for snacks and essentials, a spa, golf, bike rentals, a game room, and scheduled activities for both kids and adults. There really is something for everyone here, whether you want to relax or stay active.

In short, The Grande Cove at Marriott’s Grande Vista Resort is a top-notch choice for anyone visiting Orlando. It's clean, safe, beautifully maintained, and truly feels like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to friends, families, or couples looking for a well-rounded, comfortable, and luxurious resort experience.“

“The bartender was Great. Very nice atmosphere. They are a hotel Bar and Grill. The margaritas were very delicious. Every entree our group ordered and devoured was presented well and very good!“

“This is a great place to grab some lunch and seat in a shaded patio at Typhoon Lagoon. Our mobile order was ready relatively quickly and we were able to find a table easily. We enjoyed the pork elote nachos, they had great flavor and nice fresh corn salsa and pico de Gallo. We did wish they came with actual queso though rather than queso fresco. Fries and other standard fast food fare were nice and fresh.“

“The Greek Salad was great“

“Ordered a pizza Kids loved it definitely not the best in my opinion Little over priced, but what do you expect at a resort? Drinks are good The atmosphere is awesome Friendly staff

Parking: Guest Parking With pass

Wheelchair accessibility: All areas are wheelchair accessible“

“Their cuisine is a food truck that parks on the side of the bar. Was there Sunday took some tacos Al pastor that were good...but sadly the sauce dripped on my dress.

Bar played good music 🎶 and there was lots of people for a Sunday night. Looks like they are not too used to see white women there, I was the only one. Beer was less expensive (5$/Corona) then the bar I've been the previous night (Cuba Libre) and there was no cover charge to enter. Returned on Monday only 2 clients on site (around 10-10:30 pm) who left shortly after I arrived“

“Great place to hang out and party 🎉“

“Excellent the attention of Jhony the Bartender and Juan the chef, very delicious food and drinks and the boys nice to the treatment! ??

Excellent attention from Jhony the Bartender and Juan the chef, very rich and pleasant food and drinks??“

“Great family holiday………..“

“I went with family for magical dining which is a must. The menu has great options and the food was flavorful. Our experience was made even better as we had Clifton as our waiter and he went above and beyond by give the children in our group information about the sharks and fish. He truly cared and was very patient with us. Great experience and great service.“

“We had an amazing experience at Margaritaville thanks to our wonderful waitress and Chef Javier. Our waitress Sarah went above and beyond when I mentioned my girlfriend has a sensitivity to garlic. She immediately spoke with the chef, and to my surprise, Chef Javier personally came out to our table to talk her through the menu. He took the time to explain which dishes contained a lot of garlic and which ones didn’t, then helped her choose something safe that I would still really enjoy.

He even brought out a sauce for her to try first, just to make sure it wouldn’t bother her and then personally delivered her meal himself! It was such a thoughtful, genuine touch that you rarely see anymore.

The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the care and attention from both our waitress and Chef Javier. This was hands-down the best service we’ve ever had, and we’ll absolutely be coming back every single trip. Huge thank you to the entire team at Margaritaville for making our visit so special!“

“We loved it! Sat us right away! And we loved our waitress Rosa! She was very attentive and got our food and drinks immediately!! We were starving after a day of travel and we were so impressed!! I'm sure we'll eat again there this week!! Thanks Rosa! Hope to see u again!“

“My wife and I sat at the bar. Bar was staffed by Ryan, Autumn and Sergio; they team served the bar and provided amazing service and drinks despite it being a chaotic HHN event night. Flavors were on point. Attentiveness and speed was exceptional. Looking forward to returning in the future.“
