I had to take a moment to recognize the Whispering Canyon Cafe in Orlando for both their food and service. There was no way that I could walk away and not brag about the experience we had (myself and the group of friends I was with).

We had a large group that visited this restaurant last month for a friend’s huge Orlando Birthday Vacation, where we hit so many restaurants, theme parks and more for 8 days of fun. This was one of the first places we visited besides our resort after touching down in Orlando and was absolutely one of the best. The service was similar to Dick’s Last Resort, and the waiter we had was fantastic. He was filled with personality and pinpoint accuracy when it came to improv. Most of our party comes from the live entertainment and theater industries, so you can imagine how easy we can criticize or promote someone’s performance. I would say that this man had a bright future ahead of him. At one point, he brought a huge smile to one of the members in our party who had asked for ketchup and was persistent about it. So he came back with a tray with about 20 or more bottles of ketchup and continued to pile them all on the table in front of her. The service (or performance) was fun from start to finish.

Of course, this is a restaurant, so the most important variable is the food, which was absolutely terrific. We each got a platter of bottomless meats, where if you finished everything on the skillet, they would bring you out another one. Of course, none of us could finish our skillet because there was already such a huge amount of meat on there. However, we did try since every single item there was mouthwatering. So tender, so delicious, so much flavor in every bite. They even had bottomless shakes.

What better can you ask for in a place like this? The experience was one of the best we had in all 8 days of Orlando.
