Returning to Orlando - Where to eat?

[magnificient 7]

Hello
We are heading back to Orlando in April 2006. We visited last year (2005) and tried all the main eating places.
Here are the ones we liked:
Black Angus (Highway 192)
Sizzler (Highway 192)
Perkins (Highway 27 - close to I4)
Red Lobster (Highway 192) - But felt a bit sorry for the little lobsters even though they were VERY TASTY!

Here are the ones we were not too keen on:

Ponderosa (Highway 192) - big Queues and a bit dated
Golden Corral - Tried a couple - Bun fight at the OK corral!

Can any of you veterans out there recommend anything different?
As there are seven of us (4 Adults and 3 Children) we need variety, value and tolerance of excited children :wavey:

Steak n Shake 192 (near walmart at the bottom) side by side shakes are a must.

Thanks to everyone who has given us "food for thought" (ho, ho)
and for your kind welcome to The Dibb. I'm glad we joined now.:)

Most of the good restaurants are covered above. Our boys favourite is the Outback, but they like the Cracker Barrel, which is old style America and very reasonably priced for the children.

Try Lonestar just off I4 at exit 68 on the 535, superb food:) and service:) , excellent prices:tounge: .

Hi and Welcome:wavey:

We stayed at Sheraton World Resort and ate at: IHop, Bennigans, Red Lobster (Great warm biscuits) and Race Rock was a fantastic experience if you are into race cars, monster trucks, dragsters and stunning motor bikes. The exhibits are on the walls and ceilings and you do wonder how they stay up there!!! So many good eateries to enjoy.:tounge:

Cheers:thumbs-up
