Jungle Jim's: Have a meal in the jungle

The kids loved this restaurant with its jungle decor complete with animal noises and wall to wall video clips of the rainforest. The servers were very friendly especially interested in the children and were a great help in choosing from the huge menu. A fun filled evening was had by all, rounded off with a visit to the restaurant gift shop

Favorite Dish: We adults had the Keilbase Bacon Burger with garden salad & the kids had Funky Fish with carrot sticks all washed down with Coca Cola (free refills on all soft drinks) The dessert menu was labled "Lost Shrine of Forbidden Pleasures" and they are not kidding - we all enjoyed Chocolate Mousse Pie - they do say the desserts are big enough for two - yes they are right.

The Ponderosa: A Great Buffet Restaurant

This place had to be our most favourite restaurant when we stayed on International Drive. Breakfast is around $4 for all you can eat & dinner is around $10 for the entrees in each case after your initial price everything else is free except drinks but the coffee comes with free fill ups as do the soft drinks. The buffet is crammed with all sorts of food & yummy desserts.

Favorite Dish: We usually had the sirlion tips but large steaks are on offer too along with great chicken & fish dishes. My sons were quite young so it was a great novelty for them to 'experiment' with the ice cream flavours & many toppings not to mention the many return visits they had during one meal!!
