    The lemon ricotta pancakes are always a perfect brunch treat. I added a side of bacon that was…read moreperfectly cooked. We came on a Monday morning and it was very busy-- waited about 10-15 mins for 4 people. Service was friendly and fast. Everything was clean and well-maintained, bathrooms included. I love the unique feel of First Watch and that I can count on it to be delicious no matter where I'm traveling.

    I got my Saturday brunch here before heading out of Orlando…read more Portion was huge (Avocado Toast came in two Texas Toasts size.) Salt and lime on top was good touch. I had Butterfly Peas lemonade (EXTREMELY SWEET). My friend had Steak bowl green juice. The waitress kept coming by every 10 minutes. Which disrupts our morning breakfast conversation. I understand that there were many customers in waiting area. But rushing and disrupting every ten minutes was not ok. Bright lighting interior was pleasing to me. But to be honest; the rushing part was the most annoying. We even had coffee too. Try to tolerate the rush and intake caffeine for sanity. Price point was good and even very affordable for the portion. Avocado toast with two too well done eggs (I didn't even touch). We were told eggs will be medium cook with little running. It was hard and fully cooked. Will I go back? If waitress will give us some space and privacy. It's morning and no one is ready for being annoyed. That's it.

Met expectations. The wait was much less than expected they told us 45min wait we got seated in less than 10min! For a tourist area they treated us like vip. Food cost surprisingly was not bad also.

    Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is a sit-down restaurant located in The Landing area of Disney Springs,…read morespecializing in Southern comfort food, classic recipes, and moonshine-inspired cocktails. The restaurant has a warm rustic design with exposed wood, tall ceilings, and large windows that create an inviting atmosphere while giving you views of the surrounding Disney Springs area. It feels like a relaxed place to slow down during a busy day of shopping and exploring, especially if you are looking for a full sit-down meal instead of a quick bite. The food was the biggest highlight of my visit, with the menu focusing on hearty Southern dishes that are meant to be shared or enjoyed as a satisfying meal. The Art's Famous Fried Chicken was easily the standout, with a crispy exterior, juicy interior, and the kind of comforting flavor you expect from a well-executed fried chicken dish. The sides helped make the meal even better, especially the creamy mac and cheese, cheddar cheese drop biscuits, and sweet potato mash. Everything felt generous in portion size, so it is definitely the type of restaurant where arriving hungry is the right move. The drink menu adds another unique part of the experience, especially with the selection of moonshine-based cocktails. The Moonshine Flyte and fruit-infused moonshine drinks offer something different from a typical restaurant bar menu and pair well with the heavier Southern dishes. The bar area also has a lively atmosphere, making it a good option if you want to stop by for a drink or a smaller snack without committing to a full dining experience. Since Homecomin' is one of the more popular restaurants at Disney Springs, planning ahead is important. During busy lunch and dinner hours, getting a table without a reservation can be difficult, and advance dining reservations are usually the best way to avoid a long wait. The service during my visit was friendly and attentive, with the staff doing a good job managing the busy dining room while keeping the meal moving at a comfortable pace. Overall, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is one of the strongest table-service options at Disney Springs for a filling and memorable meal. The combination of flavorful Southern comfort food, generous portions, welcoming atmosphere, and creative moonshine drinks makes it a restaurant worth planning around. It offers a dining experience that feels distinct from typical theme park food while still fitting perfectly into a Disney Springs visit.

    I've been to several Yard House locations over the years, and while every restaurant is a little…read moredifferent, the International Drive location in Orlando definitely stands out. I went with my brother and sister-in-law, and the food was excellent. The lemon pepper dry rub wings were absolutely amazing--crispy, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. They were so good I jokingly wanted to bite my fingers afterward! I also tried the Honey Thai wings, but they just weren't for me because I don't really enjoy spicy food. That's completely a personal preference, though. The edamame was fresh and tasty, and the appetizers we shared were all very good. Even though the restaurant was completely packed, the service was impressive. I expected a long wait, but I was seated almost immediately, and our server kept everything moving smoothly despite how busy it was. The only downside is the parking. There isn't convenient parking directly in front of the restaurant, so you'll need to park in the nearby garage, take the elevator down, and walk over. The good news is that parking on the top floor is free. Along the walk, there were several outdoor vendors selling fresh fruit drinks, roasted corn, sweet treats, and small shopping items, which made the walk a little more enjoyable. Overall, this Yard House delivered great food, efficient service, and a fun atmosphere. If you're visiting International Drive and looking for a great place to eat, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll absolutely be back!

    We had already eaten elsewhere and were simply looking for a place to relax, enjoy a few drinks,…read moreand have a conversation. There were several places to choose from, but this one seemed like a good fit because it wasn't overly loud, and we wanted to be able to hear each other. We initially sat outside, but we were told they had stopped serving the outdoor seating area, so we moved inside. Rather than wait for a server, we decided to order directly from the bar since it seemed like the faster option. There weren't enough seats at the bar for our group of five, so we grabbed a nearby booth. The bartender was friendly, and our drinks were excellent. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. Although people were not coming in, but some people were eating, and enjoying drinks throughout the restaurant, it seemed like the staff had started cleaning up for the night. A server came over, and we explained that we were only there for drinks. After we received our drinks from the bar, he returned and told us that we would soon have to get up so he could clean the table. Seriously? I looked around and saw several other tables where some guests were simply sitting, talking, and enjoying their drinks. They weren't eating either. It made us feel as though, because we had only ordered beverages, we weren't as welcome as everyone else. I chose not to let one person's behavior ruin our evening because I'd rather believe that one employee doesn't represent the entire establishment. In fact, the bartender was great, and the drinks were very well made. What disappointed me was the server's attitude. I wasn't aware that ordering drinks at a restaurant with a full bar wasn't enough to be considered a paying customer, especially when there weren't enough bar stools to accommodate our group. His approach came across as rude, unprofessional, and completely unnecessary. Needless to say, we were not going to get up until we had finished out drinks, and we did not. I may return to try the food because the drinks were impressive, but if I ever encounter that same server again, I definitely won't be sitting in his section.
