I can recommend that if you are fortunate enough to have a week at WDW, try both. You can find the equal of Brown Derby and Le Cellier off site, but not Tuskers or Bomas.

This restaurant has quite a bit of seating, but did not feel crowded even when up at the spaced out…read morebuffet stations. The time frame we were there, on a late Thursday evening (the park itself was closed when we exited the restaurant), they constantly brought out fresh foods. Now for the food, I was not highly impressed. Most everything I tried was okay to good, but nothing great popped out at me. My better half may disagree, but this is my account and review. Maybe I just don't gravitate towards African flared foods, albeit I have eaten at other African inspired restaurants and been more satisfied. Although I sampled quite a few items I did not gravitate back towards anything in particular, except the salmon which I had a second piece on my second plate. Sadly the worst thing I tried was their version of chicken wings. They might have been good, flavor-wise, but I can't really say due to them being so dry I needed to wash the bite down so it wouldn't get stuck in my throat. Although our waitress was nice enough we were never offered drink refills until close to our completion time. We did not realize that there was character dining at dinner too (thought it was just breakfast time). Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy roamed around the entire time we were there; making great memories for the children present, as well as some of us adults. Overall the experience was just okay to me. I don't know if I could justify paying full kitty to eat here again. Maybe if I brought the grandkids for the character experience and felt like dropping big bucks to do so.

Stopped in here to grab some food for Father's Day lunch. The goal was to feed 4 people, and have a…read morevariety of items. When we arrived the line was out the door and went around to the back. It was hot, but the team took great care of us. They made sure everyone had water, and for those of age they even offered one Smokemade Lager from Ten 10 Brewing. The line did move at a slow and steady pace. And I appreciate them for offering the waters, the beer, and for managing the line and keeping it orderly. Once it was my turn to order, I did my best not to order everything, but also did my best to pick some favorites. While there was only four of us, we wanted to have a spread and have leftovers. So I ordered two brisket sandwiches, one pulled pork sandwich, one philly sandwich, 6 ct- tallow fried wings (hot korean bbq), large side of cheddar grits, large side of pinto beans, large side of mac and cheese, and a large side of potato salad. When the sandwiches were being made I was immediately impressed by the amount of brisket and pulled pork being put on the sandwiches. While packing our food, I noticed they threw in a loaf of bread. When they handed it to me, I asked if the bread was our ls and they said it was. We didn't order it, but I am thinking since our order was over $100 it might be something that is included, not very sure. Once to my destination we unpacked all of the food and laid it out. It all looked so good, and the smell was out of this world. Everyone quickly made plates and dove it. It didn't take long for us to start commenting on how delicious everything was and that we loved it. The sandwiches were generously packed with super flavourful meat. The cheddar grits were amazing. Some of the best mac and cheese I have had. And the pinto beans were great and I loved the meat they include in the. While we all thought the potato salad was good, it was the least exciting of everything. I think we all prefer a wetter and more southern style. My wife did enjoy her philly, but did make the comment that it was more brisket tasting and not enough philly like. It was also packed with meat and looked amazing. The wings were a nice little addition, great flavor and cooked perfectly. And that free loaf of bread was fantastic, it was similar to a potato bread. Everything was so good and well with the wait. I look forward to my next meal here. The staff was phenomenal and so helpful. Everyone was in great spirits and did a wonderful job, especially considering how busy it was.

I have to be honest I wasn't impressed by my visit to Smoke Made Meats on Crystal Lake Drive…read more I had the brisket sandwich, but the meat was almost a paste, and the BBQ sauces didn't really deliver, super watery. The mac and cheese also left me wanting more it just wasn't as rich as I hoped. That said, their collard greens were outstanding truly the star of the show. And the butter gooey cake? That was a sweet win. I also tried their Frisco fries, and they were decent, but I wouldn't rush back just for those. The ambience is really laid-back. It's like any regular barbecue place. I saw at least 3 to 4 tables of people sitting down and enjoying their barbecue and they seem to have a steady stream of traffic. The cashier who is also getting our food order together seemed really nice. She had a great personality. I honestly don't feel the need to go back and visit again. I feel like I would enjoy barbecue more from four rivers.

I absolutely love this place and I have already placed a large catering order for my family reunion and baby shower coming up.

The Meatloaf alone is 5 stars…read more Love love Ms. Kim's meatloaf - Its savory seasoned well and oh so tender. I am not sure if she adds pork in the meat mix but it is delicious and tender soft. The gravy that comes with it is delicious. The bread pudding is also one of the best you will have from a scratch kitchen. I have seen caucasians come here and grab food because I hear them say its the best meatloaf they had - to the cooking in general reminds them of their southern family member cooking. This day the black eyed peas was a popular side choice. I never tried it but it was a popular one. I spoke to Ms. Kim and her grandson this day just to have a conversation - Ms. Kim introduced herself to me with her First Name - She asked me if I was this ethnicity and she was right LOL she then stated to me she is part Thailand. Her grandson was also nice. I was sharing to him my past experience as a Yelp Diner at this establishment and both Ms. Kim and her grandson were not fond of the experience I had and then Ms. Kim adviced next time that happens at any food establishment to just get a full refund back. They were shocked of the experience I had. It was a pleasure talking to them both them hearing me vent it out about my dining experience from another establishment. On a weekday around close to 12pm this place can get a line for food. By far Ms. Kim's place is the best soul food IMO in Orlando and the portions are hefty! Next time you stop by - its nice to chit chat with Ms. Kim and her grandson who is pretty much the cashier.

We were originally quoted a wait on the phone but seated immediately. Overall it was quiet and most seats empty, I assume reservations were high. Service was very attentive and helpful in selecting orders. I started off with a good to - pork belly bites. And while delicious I would say the lack ribs were even better! Moving on to entrees he enjoyed his steak and o about it was very tender, well seasoned. I'm a bit more of an adventurous diner and went with the black rice dish. The seafood was cooked perfectly, I typically find octopus rubbery but not here. Very soft. Desserts were okay, nothing to remember but I would come back for those ribs and black rice.

My initial impressions of The Drake Kitchen & Bar were not super high during their first year of…read moreopening. However, as time has passed and some of the "new restaurant" kinks have been ironed out, my return experience has helped shift my view on this local spot. It is located in the business district of Downtown Orlando - which, for parking purposes, can get a little tricky depending on the time of day you visit. However, there is a nearby parking garage you can pay to park in if your street parking luck is low. The restaurant itself has ample seating options, indoors, outdoors, and at their bar. Bar seating is more limited, but it's enough. The staff are friendly, very informative about the menu, and will happily guide you on any of the cuisine and drink options being offered. When the weather is nice, I recommend sitting outdoors so that you can people watch with your meal. It is downtown after all, so you'll always get some kind of passerby showcase. The food, as I mentioned, has improved for me. On my most recent experience, I went for an impromptu Happy Hour and Bite30 experience with a few friends. I started with their Summer Chopped Salad, which consisted of Edgewood Farms Kale & Tender Greens, Cucumbers, Radish, Roasted Tomatoes, Feta, Garlic Chips, and Boquerones drizzled with Avocado Caesar Dressing. It was quite good. I paired it with their Black Angus Steak Frites (Aged Angus Beef Picanha and Hand-Cut Potatoes Frites with Sauce Bordelaise). This was also quite good. And I closed out my Bite30 experience with their Summer Passion & Key Lime Tart - which was pretty tasty. By this point, I was pretty stuffed, so I took home some of my Bite30 options and enjoyed them the following day for lunch. Overall, my Bite30 Experience was really good. I also got to enjoy a couple of their cocktails. All in all, it was truly a pleasant experience. I'd definitely visit again to try a bit more of their menu.
