TOP 10 Best Reasonably Priced Restaurants on INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ORLANDO

[@May54321]

I appreciate that your very well made restaurant review videos include a little map of the location, the trip advisor score, the gluten free score and the vegan score. This makes the videos incredibly for planning. Thank you!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you! Yeah it takes quite a long time putting it all together so it’s great to know that it’s worthwhile.

[@May54321]

@@TheFrugalBrit We plan restaurants specifically around food allergies and special diets of whomever is in our party so 100% worthwhile. Your videos are great. Thank you!

[@KirstyBarden-wz8xw]

We’ve been to Orlando many times but found this restaurant guide so helpful. Sometimes you want to visit somewhere and aren’t quite sure if it will be for you it your guide was very insightful. We ended up trying half of these that we hadn’t tried before and are definitely on our favourites list. Please continue to make these videos!

This is perfectly timed because I'll be at Endless Summer in exactly four weeks from today! Looking forward to any other videos about the area near there before I leave! :)

Hope you find it useful 😁. I released a vlog of the endless summer resorts on my other channel a few weeks ago (Jay Jack Orlando) 👍

Excellent Vlog again. I have said a few times on your Vlog comments me and my wife have been 14+ times now to Florida over the years. We started going first in1995 in our early 20s with our 2 young children. it was mostly Buffet style restaurants then but I have to be honest these are not my cup of tea. I like a good a good waiter service restaurant ie Charley’s or Maggiano’s and I agree it would of been my number 1 I have been a KZbin watcher since the mid 2000s and think your Vlogs are one of the best. This is up there again. Also great to put a face to the voice ie your reflection in the Brazilian restaurant door🤩🤩. Keep up the Great work 👍👍👍.

Can only agree that Olive Garden deserves to be on the list. And although we didn’t go to that specific Bahama Breeze, we did go to others in the area and always found the service and food were excellent. Loving these videos!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah it’s a great restaurant (Olive Garden), but I understand why it might be controversial to include. Thanks for watching 👍

[@I_Am_TheUniverse]

From the list presented on this video, you HIT Number ONE on the bull's eye. MAGGIANO;s is overall the best restaurant!

[@loeschzone6876]

As a native Floridian I would humbly request you try non chain restaurants. There are so many incredible locally owned family Italian restaurants in any city with an Olive Garden you will never need to try it.. Yelp a local Italian restaurant in Orlando, you will thank me.

[@katepalmer5630]

Please can you recommend any not far from universal?

[@loeschzone6876]

@@katepalmer5630 I can try. I was just up there last week. We went to this amazing Indian restaurant Saffron Indian . Go for lunch. They have $14-15 lunch specials. It’s a ton of food. Includes the main, Naan, rice and a samosa. They also give you several sauces that are all so good. I also really like. Cafe TuTu tango for tapas.. check out the happy hour specials. If you happen to go to Disney Spring my fav is Art Smith. Others near universal are Mrs. Potato they have these amazing Brazilian potato specials- google them. They were on Diners drive in and dives once. ..ok I just typed this whole thing and then reread my original comment .. it was about Italian so you probably meant Italian..lol. I gave you everything but… oops. Frescos Italiana, unless it’s changed. it’s owned by an Italian family. Hope those help..

Floridays is too far away from these restaurants to walk, but there is a I-trolley stop taking you there 👍 I might be booking Floridays for that week with the family.

Hi Emily! I did a video on I-Drive restaurants recently. I’m a fan of coco Thai, aashirwad and cafe tu tu tango which are sorta nearby. Also did a video on things to do on I drive but some of it a bit out of date now.

[@KLC777]

Great list!

[@zakifletcher8998]

Is this a updated version of the older version of this video you used to have up?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah sort of. It needed improving/updating. Main difference is this one is for reasonably priced restaurants only.

[@zakifletcher8998]

@@TheFrugalBrit makes sense. Your videos have always been very high quality but the restaurant ones especially have really improved over the past year!

[@treacle301]

We relied heavily on this video for food recommendations for our trip last week. Kind of wish we hadn’t! We ate at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, Maggianos and Longhorn steakhouse and all were very disappointing. Especially, I have to say, Maggiano’s. The food was so salty and the sauces tasted of cheap wine. If these are some of the best options in International Drive then I dread to think what didn’t make the short list! We actually found the dining options in City Walk to be much better and of a slightly higher quality.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Sorry to hear that, interesting. Might need to revisit this.

[@treacle301]

I would recommend First Watch though. We ate at their Palm Parkway restaurant, although there is also one on International Drive too. They offer great breakfast, brunch, lunch options, many of them actually quite healthy! We had great service and the coffee is free too!

I got a milkshake there on my last trip. Not gonna lie, it was a bit scary late on a Friday night 😂

[@RossCanpolat]

At the bottom right of your video it says 'Table Service' and a rate. Can you advise exactly what this is?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

By table service I mean a sit down restaurant, as opposed to counter/quick service food. The amount is the average entree cost. Apologies if that wasn't clear!

[@JasperEriegoBragh]

Is there any good restaurants near Floridays resort

[@woooooooo9061]

We haven't been to any of these, but maybe in the future. We did however try Delmonicas, red lobster and the wonderful village inn.👍

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Very good restaurants, but difficult narrowing down to a top 10. Having second thoughts about cafe mineiro though.

[@Lorena-OT7]

Does anyone know if cabana bay is on international drive, is there any restaurants near the hotel?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

No it's not on I-Drive, but not too far I suppose. For restaurants, you could get a cab to I-Drive, or head over to CityWalk when you're at Cabana Bay

[@mysweetness2009]

Unfortunately Bahama breeze stopped selling the coconut shrimp unless they've brought them back since last year. I hope they are. They've always been my favorite there

[@CharlotteOconnorTravel]

Another great video. YardHouse gets a vegan 👍🏻from me and a double thumbs up when it's wine Wednesday! Unfortunately Bahama Breeze doesn't have anything vegan. I had to have the beanburger squashed into a Lettuce leaf, not very appetising. The rum cocktail flights however were great🍹 I've put Coco Thai and Aashirwad on my list to try next trip

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Hi Charlotte! Sorry to hear about Bahama Breeze, I was under the impression that they did decent vegan options. Seem to remember being told in November they had a vegan menu, but I may have misunderstood!

[@CharlotteOconnorTravel]

@@TheFrugalBrit yeah I thought they did too, but was just a veggie menu. They said they couldn't adapt it without cheese, but that may be because of my dairy allergy. Hopefully they may be able to adapt them to vegan now then

[@NiallDoran.glasgow]

Millers, Uno and BJ's brewhouse are really good for the money also give them your email before you go and they give you birthday offers !

Good knowledge 👍

[@jamiemaguire1135]

What’s the table service price in the bottom corner… you gotta pay that on top of your bill??

That’s fair!

[@edvaira6891]

As always, I very much enjoyed this (even though we’ve almost NEVER actually been in this area during any of our seven family vacations..;)…your usual thorough level of research (although, at 8:47, a slight pronunciation error….Poke is pronounced “poh-kay”. (Rhymes with “Okay”)

[@TheFrugalBrit]

It seems that the brits are less put off by I-Drive compared to Americans. Possibly because a lot of the chain restaurants are novel to us brits, and we often need a cheap place to stay due to flight costs and because we usually stay for 2 weeks. I will say that I’m not the biggest fan of the place at the weekend 🙈 That’s an embarrassing oversight with the poke nachos 😂

[@edvaira6891]

@@TheFrugalBrit actually, it’s more, in our case, because we also tend to stay for two weeks (we live in Southern California) but we rent vacation houses so we’re usually out in Davenport or Clermont, which have THEIR OWN sets of chain restaurants (nothing wrong with chain restaurants! We have a love for Cracker Barrel’s!)

[@Busteds]

Why are you showing us Olive Garden… it’s a chain restaurant. What’s next McDonald’s?

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Ha, it’s a fair point. But I think it’s a good choice for a lot of people on I-Drive looking for good value. Obviously it wouldn’t make a proper top 10 best restaurants ranking. Worth mentioning it’s one of the highest reviewed restaurants on I-Drive, but I take your point.

[@katepalmer4423]

I’ve never heard of it so I would definitely give it a go if I went! Ha x

This is a joke. For a popular city n Olive Garden is in the top 10. This is really sad. Who the hell wanna fly thousands of miles to eat Olive Garden. Sigh

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah I get it. I-drive is very touristy though. There’s lots of other options outside of I-Drive. From a customer satisfaction perspective, I think it deserves to be in the list.

[@cateherscher6931]

I would argue that, if you are an international tourist, it's harder to get more authentically American than these national chains. While I totally agree with you that this isn't what most Americans would want to eat while on vacation, it makes a ton of sense if you're not from here.
