BEST OF ORLANDO® READERS' CHOICE NOMINATIONS NOW OPEN!

The 20 best restaurants in Orlando, according to Yelp

By on Tue, Oct 27, 2015 at 1:55 pm

"Overall, reading this round-up of the best Orlando restaurants according to Yelp, was a very pleasant experience. I love how they linked to the websites and the photos were very appetizing. I would highly recommend sharing this content with most of my friends. However, some of these are just places you can eat and not really restaurants. Also, while clicking through the slides, I couldn't help but feel annoyed that they didn't show all the restaurants that I personally think are the best. I just think it's a little lame on Orlando Weekly's part for not thinking about me, and only me. That being said, I'm going to have to reluctantly give this slideshow 1 star." - OTown_YelpLord

20.Wawa 5910 Central Florida Pkwy wawa.com "Yeah yeah, I know... a review of a gas station is frowned upon by the snootiest of yelpers... but tough noogies! This location is my savior on a bad day at work. I run over here on my lunch break, grab a hoagie, chips, and even a jalapeno stuffed pretzel, and decompress for a precious few minutes before I head back to the chaos." - Pam H. Photo by Sergio F.
