Orlando - What to Eat?

I have a conference in a couple of weeks there, not really done much research. Anyone know anything good?

Well, I haven't been there in decades.... the one place I do remember is called The Ponderosa, just of I-Drive (International Drive) near the Wet & Wild waterpark.
They had an All-You-Can-Eat buffet which was amazing and the first time I'd had any proper American style food.
Probably a pretty average chain-restaurant along the lines of Fatty Arbuckles and Frankie & Benny's type places we get nowadays, though.

go to Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and have the walnut turtle pie. The rest of it is pretty darn good as well.

Sorry I don't have any personal recommendations (last time I went I was in my teens and followed parents to the chain restaurants).
When I went to Copenhagen, the subreddit was really helpful for finding great places to eat.
I just had a look at /r/Orlando and they have a Google Doc for 'Best of Orlando' and it includes a load of food places for different cuisines: https://docs.google.com/document/d/19fsGVugmWGxrJr3gbEIWGjdvtKreAhiHfyK-XsIq5uA/edit

Don't forget to always leave a 40% tip minimum, as the servers are absolutely entitled to it, and it isn't at all optional.

I can recommend Mannys Chophouse - http://www.mannyschophouse.com/

The steak is great and the fajita deal on a Wednesday (BOGOF) is a steal.

Thanks for the recs, I'll get on reddit too and ask there! Scope out what's going down.

I really enjoyed Logan`s Roadhouse. Sweet bread is to die for, followed by a steak of your choice from the display.
Red Lobster was also good. Unlimited shrimp was tasty !!
I also enjoyed the grill I had in Applebee's.

Its a couple of years since I have been, so things may have changed. I am also easily pleased
