Oops, my mistake. It seems the Ponderosa we used to go to on International drive has closed, but I've found 2 others on the 192 thatb are open.
It looks like they have amalgamated with a company called Bonanza steakhouse. (But I may be wrong) Anyway DW is happy, she can still get her omelettes. |

We certainly don’t love the place in fact it’s the opposite we hate it it 🤢🤮

We’ve done breakfast there and enjoy it. In terms of buffet I don’t see much difference in quality between GC and Disney buffets (only done breakfast). The only difference is the surroundings are obviously nicer at Disney.

We have been to many GC over the years and the standard definitely varies so will cloud peoples opinions.
I drive one is not good Lbv one is fine Punta Gorda - central Florida - dire Lake placid - central Florida outstanding! Cape Coral- nice and tidy The ones where the locals go tend to be a bit different and not so picked over as the ones in tourist areas. Gc has the same difference in opinions as Cicis pizza 😃 I work in the food industry and definitely would not describe the food as pigswill as per another post 🤨 |

The secret is to find the good ones and eat when they are quiet. If we use them it is usually late afternoon and they are full of seniors (us) No queues and the food is good.
Our favourites are the one on the 192 near Sherbeth road and the one in Clermont which is outstanding. Incidentally one of the best steaks I have had in Florida, and I've had a few, was in the GC on the 192. Hardly pigswill,having had Scottish school dinners in the 1950s I know what pigswill tastes like!

I love(d) it. Ate at three different GCs over three different holidays and had food poisoning three times. Last time I was pregnant so was really not fun. So as much as I love GC I can't trust their food hygenie. On two of the occasions we were first in so it was unlikely to be unclean hands on serving spoons.

In this situation I would have contacted the local authority by email there stating which restaurants you may have got the food poisoning from and they would have to investigate what could be an ongoing issue.
Especially as you were pregnant as it could have been very serious. |

We have just returned home from staying onsite for 2 weeks in ddp. We ate at golden coral on 2 evenings. I can honestly say that our 1st visit the service was better than we had at some Disney restaurants. We like the choice and we can now honestly say the food quality is better at gc than it was at Hollywood and vine. We will never go back there and thankfully on ddp otherwise I'd have been annoyed paying oop for poor quality food, not great service and tin tables and chairs. Some gc are quieter and cleaner than others so read trip advisor reviews. We like the 1 thst used to be wood grill. It's the top of international drive near seaworld and there's a nice 1 on the 192 as well. We love it and can't fault it x
