This was an alternate place for breakfast and I'm glad we decided to go here. The food was awesome. We ordered the chicken and biscuits which was amazing. I had the country skillet and it was so filling. The blueberry pancakes were so melt in your mouth delicious. There was a long wait so I recommend to waitlist . Service was also amazing. This location in celebration is nice and you can walk down main street afterwards. read more

Classic diner located in Celebration. We came on a weekday later in the morning (10:30a) and were immediately seated at the counter, the best diner experience is sitting right in the front and being able to watch the action. Two large cups of hot coffee later, that were kept full by the awesome service, and our orders were placed. I ordered the cinnamon apple Dutch baby, which takes a little longer to cook, but was absolutely worth it. It's a huge serving and easily shareable. We also ordered the Corned Beef Country Skillet, we needed some savory to go with our sweet. Also highly recommend but the winning dish for me was definitely the Dutch baby. I'd return for breakfast next time, it's definitely a spot that hit the breakfast need. read more

Just an update. Came here again in January and they have changed ownership everything is still the same except they don't make fresh orange juice anymore. However, the food is still amazing and the staff are still attentive. My server was awesome, he let us know about the ownership changing and how some food had changed. He was also was quiet the comedian and made our breakfast that much more enjoyable. Sadly I forgot his name. read more

Looked promising from the reviews. Turned up for breakfast, four staff at the welcome desk-all looked like they couldn't be bothered to serve us. Our server was half asleep, dumped our food and drinks on the table-his colleagues excuse was he had 'broken his ankle the day before!!!' really!!!! He was walking-it was not broken! Food was ok-not amazing. Felt like this was a 'diner' set up for tourists that has forgotten how to do customer service. Our daughter is a waiter in London and there is no way she would have gotten away with the level of service offered by this diner today, won't be returning. read more

I went here with my boss during the week while we were in town for a business conference. He used to live in Orlando so he said that this spot was very popular. Now I can understand why. Not only was the western omelet I ordered tasty (and so was the orange juice), but the server was friendly and the price was reasonable. But the best part of the entire experience? The outdoor dining. On a beautiful weather day, you're able to sit across from a small lake as pleasant people stroll by with their pets in this picturesque Disney community. What could be more relaxing than that? Living there, I suppose. read more

Great place for a quick and filling breakfast…read more You order at the counter and have to seat yourself, but the staff is super friendly, and they do bring the food to your table and bus the table afterwards. We arrived to a long line to order, but the line moved quickly, and the food came out very quickly. At the same time, there was no push for us to clear out quickly, so we were able to relax to enjoy our breakfast. I had the eggstreme biscuits with chicken tenders added on. The biscuits were fluffy despite being drenched in the spicy sausage gravy and topped with two eggs (I went with easy over). The chicken tenders were juicy and yet stayed crispy in the gravy. My meal was huge, and I shouldn't have finished it, but I couldn't help myself. It was that good. I also had a cold brew, which was delicious, especially when made up with the maple sweetener and a splash of cream. My kids enjoyed their kids meals, and my husband enjoyed his chicken biscuit and half waffle. I'll happily return the next time I'm in the area and wanting a breakfast outside of my resort.

The biggest problem with this location is the small parking lot. It can get very busy on a weekend morning. But the staff is friendly and usually quite efficient once you find a parking spot. I really like the food here. The very first thing I ever ate here was the farmer and it has always been my go to. It is a biscuit with fried chicken cheese, bacon, and apple butter. I love the sweet, salty, and savory altogether. The five and Dime is another hit and I think their signature sandwich. It is like the farmer but instead of apple butter it has gravy and it also has an egg. They also have some pretty good waffles, which is what I get for my kid when I take him here. Their tea and coffee selection is robust. The only downside is that as they have gotten bigger and they have lost some of their personal touches. They used to ask me funny questions and would use that to help find you to give you your order. They might ask who your favorite superhero was and call you that way. Now they just give you a number like everywhere else. The other downside is the price is on the high side and seems to have increased more as of late. Food is really good though.

I came down to Orlando for a quick getaway with friends and stayed at the Meliá Celebration…read moreOrlando. The Wilson is inside the main building of the hotel. The location was incredibly convenient since most surrounding restaurants are Disney World spots, other dining options were at least 20 minutes away. Without a rental car and Ubering everywhere, being able to just head downstairs for a drink and a bite was a lifesaver. The truffle fries with Parmesan were my favorite. I also ordered the chicken quesadillas were decent, but coming from Houston (where, let's be honest, the food scene is unmatched), it's hard not to compare. They just weren't that buttery, toasted quesadilla I'm used to. The green salsa had an unusual texture, almost like applesauce, which was a little off-putting. The sour cream was fine, and I actually enjoyed the pickled onions as a nice touch. The margaritas were good! They offer several flavor additions like coconut and mango that work as sweeteners, so if you prefer a sweeter margarita I would definitely suggest adding one. Ordering it straight is on the bitter side, so the flavors are a nice way to customize your drink. Overall, the ambience and service were great, and the food is solid. Gratuity is included and my bill was around $60.

This is a very pleasant all-day eatery overlooking the pool of the Melia hotel…read more We started with the baked potato skins, which were nicely crisped and amply topped with bacon, cheese, and green onions, and served with a cup of sour cream.

I particularly liked the salad that came with the sandwich (fries were another option). There is also an extensive pizza menu (served until late) and a selection of pastas and burgers. Nicole was a great server. In addition, everyone we encountered from the hotel front desk to the restaurant hostess, to the food runners was very friendly. A nice experience.

Inside, the restaurant has a classic Boston seafood-house feel, complete with plenty of TVs for catching a game. The menu features a lot of Boston-inspired favorites. We started with the clam chowder, which was served in a mug and was very good. For our entrees, we had the lobster roll and the Frank & Beans. The lobster roll was the perfect size, served with a bag of Cape Cod chips, and the lobster was fresh and not overly creamy. The Frank & Beans came with three large hot dogs, baked beans, and two pieces of brown bread. The hot dogs were cooked just the way I requested, although the baked beans were a bit underwhelming. That said, the portion size was generous and the entree prices were very reasonable. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely recommend Town Tavern to anyone looking for a casual waterfront meal with a fun Boston-themed atmosphere.

This is a lovely place to stay in the western Orlando area…read more We had a deluxe suite over the Labor Day weekend. The room was very comfortable for the four of us. The kids were on the sofa bed, and the sofa bed had to have the best mattress I've seen on a hotel sofa. Pretty much everything about our stay was absolutely lovely. Comfortable luxury is the best way to describe the Waldorf. This is not your typical Disney-adjacent resort, despite the hourly buses and huge number of kids in the lobby. The WA pools are lovely and restful. They have live music during the day. There are ample lounge chairs and servers to bring anything you might want to drink. If you want more of the wild pool scene, you can walk over to the Signia Hilton, which has a water slide, lazy river, and a DJ. It was nice to have that option, and I do love a lazy river, but even my kids preferred the WA pools as being more comfortable. I'd happily return for a relaxing weekend getaway.

I have so many thoughts about this hotel, but I did not feel as though my experience was anywhere…read moreclose to 5 stars, especially because this is a Waldorf Astoria. I booked this hotel using my Amex platinum fine resorts & hotels benefit. It seemed like a good hotel to try out. Both Amex and my Hilton app said that my benefits should stack. When I asked for clarification on this, the Waldorf staff said that there had been a policy change recently and that the benefits did not stack. I asked Amex for clarification on this because Amex FAQs explicitly stated that they did stack and my Hilton app also showed I would get my gold member perks as well. Amex clarified with the hotel and they said there had been a policy change, but that the Amex rep did not need to let their policy team know. This feels particularly sketchy to me because if there had truly been a Hilton wide policy change, Amex would absolutely need to know about this. Their benefit terms would need to be updated and they would need to change the info given out to customers. This interaction really just rubbed me the wrong way and put a bad taste in my mouth before even checking in. The Waldorf website says that valet is the only parking option. After leaving my car with the valet to check in, the front desk employee asked if I did valet or if I self parked. I had no idea self parking was even an option because that information was not available on the website. This was a bit irritating. The room was great and we had a lovely view of the pool, golf course, and some of Disney property. I don't have any complaints about the room itself. It is advertised online that this hotel has a lazy river. It, in fact, does not have a lazy river. The lazy river is actually at the Signia by Hilton next door. In order to get there, we had to walk quite a distance from the Waldorf, through the conference center, to the next hotel. This felt like a bait and switch. I wanted to use the lazy river. Maybe I should have booked the Signia instead. Some of the hotel just seemed generally dirty to me, outside the hotel. When we got off the elevator to go to breakfast, there was cereal all over the floor that had been spilled. When we finished with breakfast over an hour and a half later (after waiting to be seated, etc.), the cereal was still all over the floor outside the elevator. For a hotel of this caliber, I would have expected for this mess to be cleaned up. Honestly, I will not be rushing back to stay at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando. The experience overall was fine at best. Nothing stood out as excellent and I did not find it to be worth the cost at all.

Shortly after arrival, we noticed what appeared to be blood on the bed comforter. We initially assumed housekeeping would replace the bedding during routine room service, so we did not immediately escalate it. However, after multiple housekeeping visits over approximately two days, the same visibly stained bedding remained on the bed and was never replaced. What upset us most was not just the stain itself, but the fact that housekeeping serviced the room multiple times and still left the bedding in place. This created serious sanitation concerns and made us uncomfortable using the room. We brought the issue to the hotel's attention at checkout and were offered only waived resort fees. We then attempted to resolve the matter through both the property and Hilton Guest Assistance. Despite multiple follow-ups, the final offer from Hilton was only 10,000 Hilton Honors points on a stay that cost approximately 140,000 points. I am posting this because I believe future guests deserve to make informed decisions regarding cleanliness standards and how serious concerns are handled after they are reported. I have attached photos documenting the condition before and after housekeeping service. UPDATE: I want to add that after additional escalation through Hilton's social media support team, Hilton ultimately reviewed the situation more thoroughly and issued a substantial points adjustment that I felt more appropriately reflected the seriousness of the concern. While I still wish the issue had been handled differently initially, I genuinely appreciated finally feeling heard and taken seriously. I think it is only fair to acknowledge that Hilton did ultimately make a meaningful effort to resolve the situation.

We told the manager it only had $10 and she said there was nothing she could do. I found a local couple on our way out and gave it to them.

I was looking for something new and found this on Google Maps. My largest gripe was the difficulty in finding parking. There was a street vendor fair going on that day, so parking was super scarce. Unfortunately, there's nothing that they can do about that, just something to keep in mind. The atmosphere was an attempt at a 50's style diner but it wasn't done well. It didn't take away from the experience, it was just a weird look. We were able to sit at the bar as soon as we walked in. The menu had a great variety and it had things you didn't see everyday (breakfast skillets and dutch babies). I had the Oink Oink omelette (bacon, sausage and cheese) and my wife got the club sandwich. We were truly amazed by all the food coming from the kitchen (our seats were directly on front of our seats). Side note, special shout out to the guy working expo. Holy crap, was he on top of his game! We also noticed how we was speaking and treating his fellow expos. Top notch! Everything we saw was huge portions and looked great. We saw things we wouldn't normally eat that made our mouths water. When our food came it smelled and looked fantastic! The only reason i didn't give the food 5 stars was due to the simplicity of the orders. There's not much special to a good omelette or sandwich. The prices were "reasonable" considering the area. Our waitress Kelly was great and never let our cups get empty and was on the ball with whatever we needed. We'll definitely be back again soon. There's a lot more menu to check out! read more

Downtown Diner has become one of our go-to spots whenever we visit Disney World. The moment you walk through the doors, you're immediately transported back to the 80s. It's a retro, feel-good diner with a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. The burger options are fully customizable, offering up to three handmade smash patties--perfect for building your ideal burger. Each patty is packed with flavor and seasoning, making it our top choice on the menu. The thick-cut steak fries are another highlight, perfectly seasoned and easily the most recommended side dish. And then, the milkshakes--rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious. We highly recommend dipping the fries into the shakes--it's the ultimate sweet-and-salty combo! While there are many other tasty items on the menu, our favorites range from savory burgers and breakfast skillets to sweet milkshakes and chocolate chip pancakes. The kid's chicken tenders are hand breaded and huge as Downtown Diner has something for everyone. The nostalgic decor adds even more charm, making it a true blast from the past. If you're looking for a cozy, retro vibe with delicious food, Downtown Diner is a must-visit! read more

My only complaint was she made me choose the cornbread cause she said it was made in house but it needed more flavor. The last thing I'll even say bad though cause i will be back just for Lindsey! This place is a must try by Kissimmee waterfront park.

Thanks to Yelp! I was able to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for some delicious ribs in…read morethe area! I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

The servers are consummate professionals who consistently go above and beyond to ensure you have a great visit. They will even actively work with you to make up for limitations or seasonal rotations on the menu. We still miss the Steak Chimichurri Hash Bowl, which was phenomenal during the few months it was offered, but the staff has always stepped up to customize and curate an amazing breakfast experience regardless. The kitchen consistently delivers across the board. Every time we visit, breakfast is spot-on, and the Banana Crunch Pancake is a standout favorite that never disappoints. It is also fantastic for families: the kids' meals offer so much variety, giving little ones great options between eggs, bacon, fresh fruit, and potatoes. With top-tier, thoughtful hospitality and consistently delicious food, this place remains an absolute staple for our family and a standout in the area.

Which whatever, I blew it off. We sit down and are greeted and catered to timely, however, our server was the bartender and it was like she forgot about us as soon as her bar got busier. We waited over 35 minutes for our food even though we got there before the lunch rush. Come to find out, our food arrived, the pasta was lukewarm, our fries luke warm, my burger bun soggy because our food sat back there forever. Again because the bartender forgot she had a table as soon as she got busy. We asked for fresh fries which we got a flat, unapologetic "okay" when she grabbed them from us and when they came back you could tell they just flash fried our fries that we already had to warm them. Idk she was nice until she was busy, then she couldn't be bothered. We had to wait forever for them to bring us our check, despite sitting there with everything boxed up. Probably won't come back here after this visit.

Everything is such high quality regardless of which option you choose. The pancakes are so delicious. The pastries are fantastic too, especially the brioche. Love the service here.

The outdoors is nice because it is screened so you don't have to worry about bugs.

The buffet is a decent value for guests who don't want to leave hotel grounds for breakfast. Oscar's isn't destination dining like Bull & Bear -- it's a refuel station. Standouts are crispy waffles, (vanilla?) pancakes, a vegetable dish, smoked salmon, fresh fruit, potatoes, café mocha, coffee, and fresh carrot juice. They should improve depth of flavor in hot dishes, biscuits, gravy, and pastries. They missed the opportunity to showcase local flavors like Latin favorites, authentic-tasting southern classics, key lime treats, and fresh squeezed OJ. Oscar's fills up fast. Getting there early is ideal for a quieter breakfast with a better choice of tables. Outdoor dining (with a pool view) is available. Noisy families and groups converge between 9am and 11am, putting together rows of tables and filling up on carbs and protein before heading out on their Disney/Universal adventures. Children eat free, and there were quite a few families. Children were well-behaved -- no fingers and faces in the food. Clean restrooms located in the hall across from the restaurant. Hot Line: waffles and pancakes; made-to-order omelettes, eggs, and crêpes; scrambled eggs; potatoes; sautéed mixed veggies; oatmeal and toppings; small carving board; bacon and sausage; tasteless but fluffy biscuits, and a sad pot of sausage gravy. Pancakes were distinctly better fresh (nice ladies on the line will make fresh pancakes). Magically crisp, delicious waffles tasted perfectly fresh and light even after sitting under the lamp. Pancakes and waffles had distinct delicious flavors (not the same mix?). Light, white crêpes are made to order. Cold Items: smoked salmon with accoutrements (bagels at bread table); individual smoothies; yogurt; fresh fruit; charcuterie; cheeses; pico de gallo and guac -- but no beans, rice, or tortillas. Pastry & bread tables: breads, bagels, croissants, milk buns, small apple turnovers, chocolate brioche, donuts, etc. No rich flavors. Not worth the calories. The only bagels Waldorf makes in-house are raisin bagels. Our server toasted my raisin bagel and brought it to our table. It was good. She served cream cheese, packaged butter from France, and strawberry preserves. She also served cute individual containers of hot sauce and ketchup for savory dishes. Drinks are included in the buffet price: coffee, water, fresh juice, OJ, etc. The buffet had fresh green juice, carrot juice, and watermelon juice. Carrot was best. Coffee stayed piping hot and fresh-tasting in a huge metal carafe that remained on our table. I love that. I don't like flagging down servers for refills. We were offered coffee in to-go cups with the check. Buffet was fine, service was outstanding. Next trip, I'll try ala carte options.
