Best Restaurants in Kissimmee
Family-friendly, entertaining restaurants with authentic cuisines—you’ll find it all and more at some of Kissimmee’s best eateries
Enjoy a variety of tastes from traditional Haitian, Dominican and Caribbean meals to Italian-style fare. No matter where the recipes originated, these Kissimmee restaurants serve up treats for your taste buds.
Savion's Place
Chef Pouchon Savion brings traditional Haitian and Cajun-style cuisine to Florida at Savion’s Place. If the weather’s mild, dine on the outdoor patio under umbrellas. Your kids are welcome here—the atmosphere is laid back, and there’s a good chance that Chef Savion himself will stop by your table to say hello before you put down your fork. Make sure someone orders the jambalaya; the recipe comes directly from Haiti via Chef Savion’s grandmother. For lunch, try the lobster mac and cheese or Prince Edward mussels. For a tasty picnic, stop in for your choice of salads and sandwiches from the Grab and Go menu.
Capone's Dinner and Show
You don’t need to go to Orlando to catch a dinner show. Enter Capone’s in Kissimmee through the Ice Cream Parlor, where you’ll knock three times and give the “secret” password. The family-appropriate dinner show is chock full of audience interaction as gangsters, dames and dancers perform while you enjoy your meal. For even more fun, stop at the gift shop before the show and pick up a fedora or feather boa so you’ll fit right in with the crowd. Your show ticket includes a buffet-style dinner featuring Italian pastas, chicken cacciatore, carved meats and much more. Reservations are suggested.
M & M's Cafe
For authentic Dominican food, look no further than the locally owned M & M’s Cafe. You’d think they named it after themselves, but owners Marvis and Meliza named the restaurant after their mothers Maria and Martha. The small space is comfortable and cozy, and the food is traditional Caribbean. Make sure to taste the refried garlic plantain mofongos, prepared with your choice of pork, chicken or shrimp. The restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch and offers local delivery. It's a favorite with Kissimmeeans—try it and you’ll taste why.
Chef John's Place
Chef John Walker has garnered many awards for his Caribbean seafood fusion menu throughout the years, and even a mention on the Food Network. Chef John’s Place is family-friendly; slide into a booth and your kids can draw on the paper-covered tables. Chef John might just hang their masterpieces on the wall. The menu focuses on barbecued chicken, pulled pork, ribs and seafood—try the fish fry with Aunt Sandra’s coleslaw. Don’t miss the Creole-style rice, crawfish grits or the fried peach pie topped with vanilla ice cream—it’s pure heaven.
