Ideas for eating on the 192

We'll be staying at Vista del Lago on the 192, just west of Disney, and We're at the stage of planning where we're going to eat.
We're staying 23 nights, me DW and 2 DD nearly 14 and 12.

Last time we didn't really vary the places we went to and got a bit fed up with it all, and our options were limited as we were staying at the Rosen at Pointe - we had to eat out all the time. With a villa we'll be able to cook or have takeaway too. We'll have a car so are able to drive

Our favourites last time were
Waffle House, Longhorns, CiCis, IHOP, Golden Corrall, Denny's. I enjoyed Romano's and Olive Garden as well. DW was put off TGIs because the one at Pointe wasn't particularly nice.

So, looking for ideas. On my bucket list is the Teak Neighborhood Grill, not far from Universal.
We're not fussed about eating in the parks - apart from Yak and Yeti, and possibly beaches and cream.

None of us are fans of seafood, which does limit our options a bit.

Culvers looks like a possibility for fast food, and there's a Pizza hut and a Dominos just outside the community too. Looking at a mix of fast food, takeaways as well as sit down meals
Any other recommendations? How do the other steakhouses compare to Longhorns for example?

We absolutely adore Longhorns, even one of my twin DD's who's vegetarian loves eating there because of the free bread!
The rest of the family love Olive Garden but I'm not a fan of Italian, which is a shame as one of my DD's is a restaurant manager at an Italian restaurant...
My DD's like Perkins, and I confess to having a soft spot for the apple pie here.
We've never tried Sweet Tomatoes, so that's on our list for this year.
Hopefully Margaritaville Resort will be open by the end of June with some independent options.
It might sound silly, but we don't like eating in a chain that has outlets here in the UK.

Roughly in the same area as Longhorn (we've been supporters of them on here for 15 years ) is Texas Roadhouse which is running them a close second.

Carabba's is our favourite Italian and also nearby.

We only occasionally eat burgers but certainly agree with Culvers. Everything is made fresh to order and doesn't sit under lamps like other places.

Cheap n cheerful - Bob Evans, Cracker Barrel and Perkins.
Bit more mid range - Carrabba’s, Texas Roadhouse, Longhorn, Outback, Olive Garden.

There is also a Manny’s just up the road, but despite all the hype, we were very underwhelmed.

We were very disappointed with the "new" Manny's on 192. Well below the quality of the Haines City one.

Bonefish Grill. We were very impressed with the fish there. Not expensive either.

Not food as such, but can’t miss Twistee Treats for an ice cream if staying at vista del lago.
