International Drive Dining

[SquishTheWhale]

Bahama Breeze is my favourite! The fried lobster is to die for, I'm still thinking about it 2.5 years since our last trip haha!
If you like Asian food then Seito Sushi just off idrive is soooooo good. I'm not a sushi person but my husband says it is amazing. They do plenty of non sushi options and everything I've tried has been amazing. It's very popular with locals which says a lot.
I'd also add Ihop to your list, we have never tried it for lunch or dinner but soooo good for breakfast. There are also a lot of great places to eat around Icon park. We have only been to the Shake Shack there (which you should also add to your list! ).

The only 'bad' meal we have had on Idrive is TGI Fridays. Service poor and food very meh. Had to sit at the bar as they said they were busy even though plenty of empty tables, and was only offered a reduced menu.

I did a little food trippie from our last trip which had lots of idrive food if you're interested I can dig up the link for you

Yes - agreed - Avoid the TGI Fridays on I-Drive. Awful.

I almost hate to say it, but if you have kids, the worlds biggest McDonald’s is on i drive. My son was completely blown away by it. Presume it’s the same as when we went in 2018, it has a fish tank, indoor play and a load of proper arcade games. You can order pizza and pasta, plus some surprisingly decent desserts (can remember a large chocolate cake and cheesecake).

Yardhouse is one of our favourites, although we went to the Miami Beach one this year. About 70 beers on tap, good food reasonably priced. Owned by same company as Bahama Breeze.

Yes, Dardens who own Bahama Breeze, Olive Garden, Longhorn and Yardhouse. I reckon that they get around a third to a half of all our evening meals spends when we are in Orlando.

The Yardhouse in Naples is also very good indeed!

We are the same, they are a very good product. Had a nice Texas lager this time. The beers are a bit pricey but $2 off before 7.

The trouble with any recommendation thread is that most of the posters are talking about experiences over 3 years old.

I don’t think that the Dardens chain will in any way change their very successful product. They have had the advantage of size and thus resilience whilst weathering the Covid storm. I doubt they have changed either their business model (happy hours), or even greatly changed their menus.

The smaller independents.. maybe.

I went to Yardhouse 2 weeks ago, albeit in Miami Beach.
