Orlando Restaurants that don't suck!

Back to Homepage

Ok, most of you know by now that I'm an expert on everything in Orlando! But I am truly a connoisseur when it comes to food. Therefore you will take these reviews as gospel and patronize these places every chance you get. Why are the reviews all good you ask? Because I only put my favorites... and my favorites don't suck! If you really need to know where not to go, then check out the main page under "Places In Orlando That Really Suck"... that's where I put the bad ones!


Taverna Opa

Pleasure Island

The Taverna Opa is a popular Greek style restaurant and bar. They sell a wide selection of seafood from seabass to plaki and lobster. Also, a great show is always going on. Belly Dancing is common only to the Taverna Opa and you are welcome to eat, drink, and enjoy the show with any group of friends. They also cater for events.

The Catfish Place

The Catfish Place

The Catfish Place has been locally owned and operated for 28 years. They specialize in selling local food and are widely regarded as the best local seafood in the area. Catfish are caught daily from Lake Okeechobee along with soft shell turtles and wild gator. These Florida delicacies are never frozen and are quite obviously fresh daily. At The Catfish Place they take pride in their specialty hush puppies and cole slaw. Only the special Catfish Place version of both are served with any meal.

Giordano's Italian Restaurant

Pleasure Island

Probably my favorite thing about this restaurant is their deep dish pizza. Unlike Domino's and Pizza Hut, deep dish actually has a meaning here. A cheese stuffed pizza grants you at least an inch of cheese beneath the rich sauce on the top of the pie. If you want deep dish filled with vegetables and meat, you get an actual deep dish filled with vegetables and meat. This is how a pizza is supposed to be made. Giordano's doesn't serve just pizza though. They serve several types of pasta such as mostaccioli, and linguini with shrimp. I can't say anything bad about the food here. Delicious.

Cedar's Restaurant

Cedar's Restaurant

Everyone keeps saying Cedar's is amazing. I've never been there but I'm inclined to believe them. Cedar's Saturday Show is also a common topic when discussing the restaurant. Every Saturday night, Cedar's is host to a Belly Dancing troupe that performs for patrons of the restaurant. As for the menu, they serve beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. They have strong list of kababs and even serve gyro's. Cedar's is some of the best food in General in Orlando according to customer's and it is worth trying at least once.

Pleasure Island Downtown Disney

Pleasure Island

For years Orlando has only had "fake" Irish pubs, no more! We now have a real one and it's amazing! Everything about it is great. The food, the live entertainment, everything! They have a live Irish band and dancers. The whole atmosphere is nice. I would recommend 7 pints of Guinness and anything on the menu.

Cafe TuTu Tango

Grand Floridian

This place is on I-drive and it is great. It's all about art and all the art is for sale. All the food is appetizer style, so it's perfect to go with friends and everyone can order something different. They have live entertainment at night and its ranges from magicians to jugglers to singers. Its something different, and that's nice. Each dish is around $5-$7.

Texas De Brazil

Texas De Brazil

This one is also on I-drive and is very upscale. The salad bar alone is amazing! Then the waiters come around with different meats on skewers and you have a small card that is red on one side and green on the other. If you have the green side up they will offer you what they have. They have every type of meat known to man!! Its $50 a person but its worth it.

Ohana's Restaurant

Ohana's At Disney's Polynesian Resort

Almost the same concept as Texas De Brazil but with a Disney spin. Waiters constantly come around with huge skewers of meat and give you some if you wish. There is also a lazy susan in the center of the table with side dishes that are also all you can eat. Pineapple and caramel is included and served for desert.

Orlando Ale House

Orlando Ale House

Several locations throughout Orlando and all are almost exactly the same. It's a bar with a fun atmosphere and on the weekends it is packed with women (wink wink, nod nod, know what I mean know what I mean). Try the chicken nachos, they are huge. Their signature zingers are excellent also.
3 stars (out of 5)

Bahama Breeze

Bahama Breeze

A few locations throughout Orlando. It's an island restaurant with a very laid back atmosphere. Their jerk chicken is great.. but actually everything on the menu is good. They usually have live entertainment in the outdoor area.

Broadway Pizza

Broadway Pizza

Ok, let me start off by saying this review is for all the locations except the one across from Wet n' Wild on International drive.. that location suck! The other locations are one of my favorite pizza places in Orlando. One of their best features is that they are open until 2am Sun-Wed and until 4am thur-sat!! If your a night owl like me those hours are a huge plus! Get their BBQ Bacon Cheese Burger pizza, its awesome! They have great cannolis too!
