Wallet-Friendly Orlando Restaurants

Florida holidays are a treat for your senses. More than just coastlines and coasters, its world-class cuisine promises a wild ride for your taste buds. 

Whether you’re looking to enjoy the Sunshine State’s best sunny side up eggs for breakfast, indulge in the iconic Key Lime Pie for dessert, or go all out at an American buffet, Orlando has many options that will have both your stomach and wallet thanking you. We’ve put together a list of the best budget-friendly eateries that offer an authentic slice of Orlando and help your travel money go further for all of Florida's delights. 

Earl of Sandwich

Located at Disney Springs, Earl of Sandwich is a fantastic option for grabbing a filling meal between theme park thrills. Featuring an extensive menu of sandwiches, handcrafted wraps, salads, soups, and more, you’ll be spoiled for choice come lunchtime. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty Full Montagu sandwich or a lighter, fresh salad, there’s something for everyone. Opt to sit in their laid-back setting, complete with casual vibes and friendly service, or if you’re after a quick fix, it’s a great option for a grab-and-go lunch too. It’s the perfect spot to fuel up before heading back out for more adventure.

Beth’s Burger Bar

What trip to the States could be complete without tucking into a big juicy burger. The popular Beth’s Burger Bar serves up a deliciously delightful menu of signature burgers. Combine two classic foods with the Pizza Burger or opt for something even more unique, the Peanut Butter Burger, with cheddar cheese, grilled onion, and a peanut butter sauce. It’s also a great place to come for breakfast, with their Morning Burger option complete with a fried egg. 

Bricks and Bowls

A super healthy, wallet-friendly Orlando restaurant is Bricks and Bowls. Keep things fresh with their acai bowls and colourful salads that’s both a treat for the eyes and the stomach. With budget-friendly options under $15, you can keep everyone happy without having to break the bank. Perfect for light bites and full lunches, Bricks and Bowls is located at both Winter Park and Millenia Mall. This makes it an ideal stop off for those days exploring Orlando outside of the world-famous theme parks.

4 Rivers Smokehouse

For those who love a good BBQ, 4 Rivers Smokehouse is the place to go. At this award-winning restaurant, you’ll find some of the best hearty portions of pulled pork, brisket, and chicken for under $15. And with its family-friendly vibe, kids will love it too. Plus, with names like Texas Destroyer you know you’ll be fuelled up for a long time. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a relaxed dinner with the family, the smoky flavours and comforting sides make every bite worth savouring. It’s a true taste of Southern BBQ done right.

Black Bean Deli

Black Bean Deli is a vibrant celebration of Cuban flavors, where the heart of Latin cuisine meets a laid-back, welcoming vibe. Serving up hearty Cuban bowls, flavourful sandwiches, and aromatic Cuban-style coffees, it’s the perfect spot for everything from a relaxing breakfast to a lively family gathering. With generous portions that never skimp on flavour, each dish is a delicious journey to the streets of Cuba. Plus, be sure to take advantage of their $10 Cuban sandwich special, which comes with a 6-inch sandwich, black beans, and rice.

Lazy Moon Pizza

Lazy Moon Pizza offers pizzas as large as your appetite after a day at the theme parks. Choose from a wide variety of eclectic toppings spread out on their signature 30-inch pizzas. Made with 72-hour aged dough and made-from-scratch sauces, you know you’re getting an authentic slice. Whether you opt for classic favourites or adventurous combinations like BBQ chicken and pineapple, each bite is a flavourful experience. They also offer late-night deliveries if you’re craving a cosy night in with the family, sharing great food and making lasting memories. 

Gringos Locos

For Orlando’s best tacos, we highly recommend Gringos Locos. Fresh produce is packed into tacos, enchiladas, nachos, burritos and more, all for under $15. You can also take advantage of cheap deals with their daily 4-8pm Happy Hour. Take a seat, unwind, and enjoy the savings in their Mexican-inspired ambience, complete with cactus art adorning the walls, or grab something to go for exploring the best of Downtown Orlando. With bold flavours and a laid-back vibe, Gringos Locos is the perfect place to fuel up when your energy is draining.

Se7en Bites

For nostalgic Southern comfort food, Se7en Bites serves up a variety of tasty treats. Whether you’re after a wallet-friendly breakfast or breaking the day up with brunch, unique menu items such as Morning Smash Up, Biscuits and Gravy, and the Signature Chicken Biscuit are sure to satisfy. This is not just a place to eat, it’s also a famed location. Featuring on Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, it now attracts guests from all around the world coming to get a taste of the goodness. Inspired by her ‘grammie,’ owner Trina Gregory has developed a small corner bakeshop into a global hotspot.

Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen

Toothsome Chocolate Emporium is a budget-conscious Orlando restaurant with a twist. Situated in Universal Orlando Resort and designed to feel like you’ve stepped onto the set of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, it’s one to visit if you want something a little out of the ordinary. Sink your teeth into the French Country sandwich – a brioche stuffed with gruyère cheese, smoky ham, sunny-side up egg, Bechamel sauce and Lyonnaise potatoes.

Or treat your taste buds to the Chocolate Waffle, complete with strawberry chocolate ganache and crushed OREOS. However, we think the Golden Ticket goes to The Pride Berry. This is one to inspire all senses, with chocolate dippers, huckleberry milkshake, assorted rainbow candy, dragon fruit boba, rainbow whipped cream, and pride sugar cookie. The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium is definitely one for all the family to enjoy.
