In-Depth Information
for the food, it's chain-restaurant quality but decent all the same. Prices are a bargain,
and you can get in and out at lightning speed—important at breakfast when you're
trying to get to the parks early. Some locations offer lunch and dinner buffets at a set
price without your having to buy an entree.
Though you can argue about which chain serves the best steak, Golden Corral
wins the buffet contest hands-down, with at least twice as many offerings as its three
competitors. While buffets at Golden Corral and Ponderosa are pretty consistent from
location to location, the buffets at the different Sizzlers vary a good deal. Our pick
of the Sizzlers is the one at 7602 W. Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy. ( 407-397-0997).
In addition to the steakhouses, WDW-area Shoney's also offer breakfast, lunch, and
dinner buffets. Local freebie visitor magazines are full of discount coupons for all of
the previous restaurants.
MEAL DEALS Discount coupons are available for a wide range of restaurants, includ-
ing some wonderful upscale-ethnic places such as Ming Court (Chinese; 9188 Inter-
national Dr., Orlando; 407-351-9988; ming- court.com ) .
A meat eater's delight is the Feast for Four at Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q . For
$40 per family of four, you get sliced pork and beef plus chicken, ribs, your choice
of three sides (choose from beans, slaw, fries, among others), garlic bread or corn
bread, and soft drinks or tea, all served family-style. The closest Sonny's location to
Walt Disney World and Universal is at 7423 S. Orange Blossom Trail in Orlando (
407-859-7197; sonnysbbq.com .) No coupons are available (or needed) for Sonny's,
but they're available for the other “meateries.”
A meatery to approach with caution is Western Sizzlin's Wood Grill Buffet
(11701 International Dr.; 407-778-4844), whose ubiquitous ads tantalizingly depict
steak, ribs, and the like. In point of fact, none of these items are available for lunch,
and we advise calling ahead to see what's available for dinner.
COUPONS Find discounts and two-for-one coupons for many of the restaurants men-
tioned in freebie visitor guides available at most hotels outside of Walt Disney World.
The Orlando-Orange County Official Visitors Center (8723 International Dr.;
407-363-5872; open daily, 8:30 a.m.-6:30 p.m., except Christmas) offers a treasure
trove of coupons and free visitor magazines. On the Internet, check out couponsa-
lacarte.com and orlandocoupons.com for printable coupons.
