Places we like to eat on vacation (because you know we are not cooking)
We have been here 2x. First time was perfect. We got burgers fries and shakes. Second time the food was still good but they were out of a lot of items (incl bacon) and their soda machine is not working well. Staff was great and brought us canned soda...
BurgerFi
Great pizza. We've been here several times. We recently enjoyed their valentine's special with the heart shaped pizza and Nutella strawberry dessert pizza. We will definitely be back. Try their spinach dip. So good .
Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings
Great wraps. They put a large amount into them easily shareable. We had the buffalo and the oriental. We preferred the oriental. There isn't a lot of seating outside and inside it is very loud. May be best to do take out.
Vinny's Cafe
We ate here today. I would recommend the garlic cilantro grilled chicken sandwich. It was really good. I also got the cheesy plantains. They were okay. I would get the regular sweet plantains next time. Definitely better menu than I remember them h...
Pollo Tropical
My favorite Italian restaurant here when I am in town. Great service and traditional Italian restaurant. Great garlic knots!
Papa Giuseppe Pizza
Located conveniently in a shopping center. Everything was really fresh. They were really nice and accommodating. I got a special 1/2 char burger and 5 nuggets with fries and a drink for only 10. For me it was so much food that I shared. we would go a...
Habit Burger & Grill
This was pretty good. Wide array of sushi and buffet. The steak was over cooked but the prime rib was good. The dessert bar was my favorite. Staff was very friendly.
Hours & Prices
My kids love this place. We all get the kids meals and upgrade the drinks to shakes. The small size is a perfect treat. I will mention they are all vanilla based with chocolate syrup used to make it chocolatey.
Steak 'n Shake
We enjoyed this buffet. They had hibachi, sushi, Chinese, etc.. If you like buffets, we would advise checking this one our. Note that they are closed on tuesdays.
ICHIBAN BUFFET - Restaurant Reviews
We just had lunch here. Great specials. I did soup and sandwich combo. My husband did salad and sandwich combo. Kids got the kids meals. Everyone else was very happy with the food. It all came out hot and fresh. Staff was very accommodating. We will...

Things to check out on vacation
We love walking this trail. Its free to park and walk around. So peaceful. My kids love all the animal sitings.
Green Cay Nature Center - Parks & Recreation
Free place to visit with the kids. Nice grounds to walk and quite a few animals to see - incl rescued sea turtles. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of parking.
Gumbo Limbo Nature Center
This was a cute place to visit. They have animals to feed and pet. Its not free though but not expensive. They have a good (but crowded) pizza place attached. The kids loved it.
The Girls Strawberry U-Pick
Amusement Parks and Places to stay
Ok this is mixed reviews. We enjoyed the park but felt like we got nothing done due to ridic long lines. Everything was 100 min or longer. We waited 2 hrs for magic of ministry ride. It broke down right before we got on and then closed for the nig...
Universal Epic Universe
We love coming here. We stay at one of the three hotels that get you free express passes (except for epic universe). Totally worth it. We are able to do all at the parks and then even do rides a second time
Universal Studios Florida
We use this website all the time to get deals on universal and Disney. We have been able to get exactly what we want for cheaper than travel agents and booking directly. Everything has always gone well using them.
Undercover Tourist
This hotel has been the cheapest the past few times we have gone out of the 3 that offer express passes. We always have a great time. Clean room. Front desk is amazing. They gave the kids flower necklaces when we arrived. Walking distances to cityw...
Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando
We love this hotel. Its set up like Italy and really makes you feel like you're there. Very clean. The staff was great as well. We took the water taxi to the parks every time. If we had the choice this would be our #1. Free express per person passes ...
Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
What to use in florida
I just got the coconut one and I am loving it. Smells good and tastes better. As long as it protects my lips I am a happy camper. Goes on smooth and I don't feel sticky at all.
