TOP 10 Best Restaurants on INTERNATIONAL DRIVE ORLANDO

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Here’s my top 5 casual family friendly picks: 1. Maggianos 2. Longhorn Steakhouse 3. Millers Ale House 4. Yard House 5. Bahama Breeze

[@troythompson69]

Any of those good for gluten free options?

[@veldinjoeable]

I have been addicted to these videos, by far the best travel videos I’ve seen on KZbin. I always felt universal should have a Spielberg’s war of the worlds ride to be the anti-ET. The Maggiano’s restaurant you mentioned will definitely be one that I go to next time I go to Orlando.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

That would be incredible!!! Underrated movie.

[@Diogenes_Gabriel_]

Frugal, the way you’ve explained mixed with your accent was marvelous, about the Fogo de Chão! I will show your video to my family. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Obrigado 👍🥩

[@algernon5776]

You missed several places but here are hidden gems: 1) Boston Lobster Feast - a long time staple on I-drive a huge 68 item Seafood buffet featuring AYCE Maine Lobsters, Prime Rib, Oysters, Crab legs, Shrimp and everything you could think of. $64 dollars ( get the $5 off coupon from your hotel). Second is Camilla's Brazilian AYCE Lunch buffet for $22 bucks. It is like Fogo but alot cheaper ( admittedly not as good) but local Brazilians ear here.

[@wesdavies2455]

Returned from Orlando about 4 weeks ago, millers, salt grass, olive garden was all a solid option m, have done magianos and tu tu in the past, all fantastic, cheddars stratch kitchen was a fantastic restaurant that shocked us, staying at the plaza tho you had to try Jacks….. voted the best restaurant on idrive at some point.. great informative video though always superbly presented thank you.👊🏽🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah i need to book Jack’s place for my next visit! Thanks for watching 👍

[@jeninaslicer352]

Back in 1999 while serving in the Navy, we deployed to South America and visited all the coastal countries. I visited a restaurant in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, that’s very similar to Fogo de Chao! $7 American currency. It was amazing. I even ventured out and tried chicken hearts!

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I think I tried chicken hearts before realising that they were literally chicken hearts 🙈

[@jeninaslicer352]

@@TheFrugalBrit the taste like chicken livers to me. In Dubai, I had camel ribs not realizing they were until I asked one of the locals. 😂😂

[@cis85198]

Hey! I'm a Brazilian from Rio de Janeiro, here we have many restaurants like Fogo de Chão. We call those types os restaurantes "churrascaria", which consists in a fixed price for a buffet plus a mix of meats that the waiters offer you on your table. Fogo de Chão is actually the most expensive churrascaria here, I never been there myself. We indeed have many other affordable options, like the one you said for 7 dollars, Pampa Grill, Estrela do Sul, Tourão, Rio Brasa and so on

[@cis85198]

@@TheFrugalBrit Yeah, we love chicken hearts here in Brazil, I recently learned that this is actually a Brazilian thing hahahaha

[@ianmichael7401]

My list as someone who lives in Orlando would be in no particular order: El Inka Grill Cuba Libre Uncle Julio's Aashirwad Cafe Tu Tu Tango (only go for bottomless brunch though) Gyu-kaku Bosphorus Turkish Cuisine Delmonico's Hampton Social Nile Ethiopian

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you for sharing!

[@reytech1786]

Another masterpiece video from the Frugal Brit. Every time I watch your videos I want to go to Orlando ❤❤❤

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you! It’s only been a month but I’m desperate to go back in Jan!

[@ARealPersonNotABot]

I took a vacation to Orlando a couple months back. Had a great time thanks to your videos. You really helped me. A great guide.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Awesome, glad it was useful 😁

[@TripNWithRed]

I Drive has so many great restaurants. When I'm on vaca, I like to try unusual restaurants I can't try at home. I'm not a fan of overly dark restaurants. I probaneed to try that Thai restaurant. I always love your reviews.

[@robturner4895]

Great list. I'd have Saltgrass in there somewhere too amongst the other steakhouses you mentioned.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

So many steakhouses! 🙈

[@stevenblackburn7250]

Agree with your top 2 been various times and always a fantastic meal. Charley's was disappointing for us on the 4th July, probably too busy. Jack's place was the best steak we had all holiday

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I need to book Jack’s place for my next visit!

[@rodrigorocha2935]

Hello, I found your channel a few days ago and loved it. Best source for tips and restaurant recommendations (outside the disney obvious). Great videos about the International drive area and universal park, I will be sure to finally check Mythos and the Maggianos one. Do you intend on doing this for the Tampa area / Busch gardens? Your video format is great, keep the good work.

[@markcunningham597]

Great video only came returned from holiday 2 weeks ago did longhorn and millers your review was spot in and funny enough 1 of our party thought the steak was over seasoned in longhorn although I thought steak was 1 of the best I have had

[@markcunningham597]

Sorry, I would like to add have never stayed around I drive before this holiday found quite a few undesirables hanging around this area not sure this is usually the case

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah longhorn is much better value that the other steakhouses.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah especially at the weekends I-Drive can be a bit rough.

[@surethings6350]

These are a bunch of chains.. For seafood lovers you've got to try Boston Lobster feast. Unlimited lobster and snow crab

[@heater631]

Looove I-drive so nostalgic to me growing up down here. Been following you for years but its a shame soo many places here come and go. Point Orlando needs serious help! But i love I drive and will never stop going

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah pointe Orlando has been really struggling since the pandemic.

[@darrensmith7200]

I loved it in your older restaurant videos where you had the gluten free ratings. They were so useful. Hopefully you bring that back

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Appreciate the feedback Darren. I worry sometimes that I put too much text on screen, I was also questioning how worthwhile the info was based on how long it takes to research. Will reconsider but unfortunately might come down to how much time I have available.

[@AmazonEnforcer]

It was a fad. And besides, these all appear to be chain resties.

[@Bauer07]

As always, you've knocked it out of the park. Excellent. Keep it up.

[@thefamousleedsunited]

Brilliant video! Almost makes me want to come to Orlando without the kids to be able to afford these amazing places haha. Would you ever consider doing a “top 10 best for kids/families” video for restaurants? We’ve been to Millers before and loved the atmosphere in there. For some reason whenever I’m in Orlando I always feel more comfortable in the louder casual restaurants, probably because I’m wearing sweaty sports gear after being shattered from the parks! Really enjoy the content

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thanks for that! Yeah I made a more casual budget conscious list a couple years ago which is still relevant I think. A bit of overlap with this video though. I’ve added my top 5 casual family friendly picks in the pinned comment 👍

[@thefamousleedsunited]

Legend! Thanks very much for your time

[@daxhausentraveller8488]

Your vids always make me smile . 😊. Been in most of your list . For me Italian Carrabba’s , Greek Taverna Opa ,uno’s for mixed steaks and pizza . Olive Garden I personally like and finally Yardhouse . But it is always personnal choice . Great review as expected . 👍😉

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Thank you Dax!! Yeah it was really tricky to narrow them down to 10. Don’t think I’ve tried Carrabba’s.

[@daxhausentraveller8488]

@@TheFrugalBrit you did a good job as always

[@Ratty183]

Always love your videos. Maybe next time, could also go into vegetarian options? I couldn’t visit most of there places with my wife who doesn’t eat any meat.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Much appreciated 👍😁

[@jackc3899]

Top video ❤

[@ericteneyck8691]

We always talk about getting out of the theme parks and explore more of what Orlando has to offer. Just haven't got it done yet. Couple of those steak houses looked good.

[@bradcollier3040]

Charleys is a must. Trust me. The fabulous filet is 79.99 but you won’t regret it one bit

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah it’s nice having so many decent options nearby when you’re staying on I-drive.

[@CherylAbbott6486]

Longhorn Steakhouse was great when we went. Amazing steaks.

[@TheFrugalBrit]

🤤

[@wrc5557]

Amen to that - loved Longhorn....great to see some of the other recommendations on the list, although I suspect those in the top 3 would be special occasion or treat options on my budget rather than nightly dining throughout my trip! Would be interesting to see your top family friendly options on Idrive in a future video.....while last time I visited it was as a couple (so this list was perfect) next time I'm there will be with kids, which I changes the options somewhat! 😋

[@embbullet957]

Do u have any videos about flamingo crossings

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Afraid not 😢

[@lucretiadoran5214]

I would pick Vito's over Charley's or Capital Grille as #1. But all three are spendy, and good for special occasion dining.

[@woooooooo9061]

We went to Delmonico’s which I think is just off international drive. But it seems to appear on a lot of Orlando top 10s. I have to say we were actually very disappointed. The food was decent, not great. Massive portions though. And our server was very rude. Maybe just a rare bad day though. We loved the Village Inn and Red lobster.

[@edvaira6891]

Never managed, in fifteen trips to Orlando, to EVER try ANY of the restaurants on International Drive (mostly because we’ve rarely been anywhere NEAR there at dinnertime during any visit)….So, I TRULY had No opinion whatsoever on any of these…and, yet, this was still quite the entertaining video, as always (although😊 we HAVE tried other branches of Capital Grill and Maggiano’s here in California and very much agree with your enthusiasm for both)

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah I think I-Drive is a lot more appealing to us brits to be honest. We’re not put off by the chains as it’s all so different (and immeasurably better) than what we have back home.

[@yodaddy9362]

Planning a trip to universal studios. But I don't feel like I want to pay outrages prices for what seems to be MID at best. At the resort. This will be my 1st ever with my 2 sons. So I might eat breakfast and supper OFF the resort

[@BasilsTravels]

How can you miss Olive Garden. Fantastic restaurant with great service and food

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I put olive garden on my last I-drive restaurants video and got absolutely slaughtered 😂 I’ve found there’s a massive difference between what the brits and the Americans want.

[@diablosandwich77]

Longhorn ❤

[@AngeloOliveiraBrazil]

Good morning, how are you? On Wednesday I lost my passport at Disney Springs, and until yesterday, Friday, it had not been located. As your channel has a large audience, this will help me, sorry for using your channel. Thank you very much Angelo

[@Iambriangregory]

Curious did you ever find your passport? did you by any chance reported to the police ?did you go on Craigslist and put an ad in the community section? by any chance what else did you do to look for it ?did you call the lost and found at all the places you went to that day? did your hotel have a safe and how do you feel about leaving it in there? One of the reasons why I asked I was trying to figure out why you watching videos about restaurants when you've lost your passport it was just curious

[@MrLProductionsOfficial]

I'm in Orlando a lot, it's basically a second home to me (also a Brit), anf I'd definitely recommend the following: Longhorn Steakhouse - Amazing steak, mac and cheese, just brilliant. BJs Brewhouse - Great food, especially the deep dish pizzas and dessert pizookies. Best root beer ever too. Red Robin - BEST. BURGERS. EVER. They cook burgers properly, large, juicy and medium with bottomless fries too. I've eaten so many burgers around many different countries but Red Robin wins for sure. Denny's - Nothing wrong with Denny's for a cheap meal. The food is pretty good too, especially for the price. Charley's was ok when i went but too expensive for the portion sizes compared to Longhorn

[@NebulaObserver]

What about vegetarian restaurants reasonably priced please?

[@realduox]

miller's ale house is basically applebees

[@Afineaddition]

Aashirwad is a fantastic restaurant! Keep in mind that there's a lunch buffet that runs Friday-Sunday! $16 a person! Great deal!

[@bachevaz72]

Thanks

I’m back in Florida at the end of the month, I will try and check it out 👍. Is it the one in the hotel?

[@simonhillancocacola]

No love for Kobe?

[@Chewy___]

Went to longhorn 3 weeks ago and it was the best steak I have had much better than the steaks in Scotland

[@brainysmurf74]

Oi, u didnt support your scottish bro gordon ramsey’s fish and chips

[@MrBaboon1212]

Longhorn above Miller's makes your channel dubious. Above Yardhouse: Con-firmed paid-out.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Non of these restaurants are top natch, go to San Francisco, Chicago or NYC

[@mr.elastomeric1787]

DENNNYS

[@TheFrugalBrit]

I love Denny’s. That’s my go to breakfast on I-Drive.

[@MrSoupyPoopies]

Not very frugal this episode

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Yeah that was the point really as I already did a top 10 reasonably priced video a couple years ago.

[@danlevin9721]

If Maggianos is in the top 2 just imagine how awful all the other places are...

[@LynseyGourlay]

Really disappointed it was so steak & meat heavy. I'm not a vegetarian but not a big meat eater either!

[@fresnoniiji]

These are tourist spots lol you might as well put McDonald's on the list

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Careful what you wish for.

[@xoxpascalle]

Tourist spots...? In a tourist area? Ohmygod I did not see that coming 😱

[@toluani7690]

The video is about restaurants on international drive which is a tourist location so the lost makes sense.

[@HaydenScott07]

What are some good local spots in Orlando ?

[@kristenmoon4405]

It’s literally a tourist place. It’s valid for being here, many people choose to eat outside of the parks and this strip is popular.

[@geordieal3073]

Normally a massive fan of the vlogs but this is very 'steak' heavy! I guess if you are not a fan of it , this is not the top ten for you and really doesn't paint an accurate portrayal of the eclectic dining options on I Drive. Sorry

[@TheFrugalBrit]

Appreciate the honest feedback. What are your top picks?

[@geordieal3073]

@@TheFrugalBrit For us our top picks would be; Millers Ale House Carrabbas Unos (Very Underrated IOHO. Not just for Pizza) Those would be our top three, and on our next trip are looking at the likes of Yardhouse, BJs and Cheddars. One we will give a miss though is Olive Garden. Very very hit and miss and our visit two months ago was a big miss with nothing good about it. Even the salad and breadsticks were poor

[@leightonlawrence8832]

Millers is super mid Their wings are good but its just a bar menu on steroids.

[@peterdelicci5785]

Ridiculous reviews, all you did was pick a bunch of franchise restaurants that everybody has been to.

[@susandianasmith7150]

So let me get this straight: a “top ten” list from someone who claims to be a “frugal Brit” that consists of half a dozen overpriced steak houses? Thanks for wasting my time; now where do I take my four kids while on vacation that isn’t Little Caesar’s?

[@Gnash-Gaming]

Welp this is a trash list. First two are chains and could care less about the rest I’m out.

[@jorgemoreno1218]

YOUR VOICE IS FAMILIAR, RESEMBLANSE ON A MOVIE?

[@mikeymutual5489]

You placed a chain restaurant at #2 on your list? Have you never had real Italian food before? Your glowing recommendation is that "it is a noticeable upgrade from Olive Garden?" Your #1 pick is a national chain as well, and it is fine, but it is hard to believe that it is the "best" restaurant on I-Drive. I question if you know food at all.
