Game Day Dining

It’s the weekend and that means fall football! As University of Georgia alumni our Saturdays revolve around kick-offs and game day plans. We’re constantly searching for the best sports bars filled with tasty bites, oversized televisions and a social atmosphere. Here’s our picks for Orlando’s best sports bars, happy game day!

• Duffy’s Sports Grill:Boasting over 100 televisions and Florida roots, Duffy’s menu features freshly prepared ingredients and a menu for everyone’s palate in your party.  Signature favorites include BBQ Baby Back Ribs, ½ lb. Certified Angus Beef Burgers, and 15 dishes containing fewer than 580 calories.  Even better Duffy’s offers 2-for-1 drinks all day, every day, on everything from the bar, including top-shelf cocktails, premium wine andbottled beer. Located near the Mall at Millenia and now open in Lake Mary!

• Splitsville: 50,000 square feet, 65 televisions (the most in Downtown Disney), and a menu including everything from grilled avocado to hand-rolled sushi. We’d recommend this location for parties of all sizes and ages. Be sure to order the Fantasy Roll and Filet Sliders!

• Gators Dockside: This family-friendly restaurants offers big screen telvisions, pool tables, video games (Pacman anyone?) and an expansive menu. Their signature grilled wings are flavored with your choice of 15 different sauces and their ribs are made from scratch. We’re fond of the Baldwin Park location and its lake view, plus your little ones can run around and play old school video games.

• The Porch: In full disclosure we’ve yet to visit this budding Winter Park restaurant, but we’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from friends and colleagues! Rumor has it this place is loud, but serves up fabulous food like the Early Rise with cheddar cheese, house hash cake, bacon, fried egg, crispy onions and liquid gold BBQ wedged between a fresh glazed donut. That’s right a DONUT.

• CaddyShanks: There’s a little bit of everything here, CaddyShanks is loaded with big screens, hundreds of beers, virtual golf and racing simulators PLUS ping pong and Wii. Their extensive menu is provided by surrounding restaurants so there’s something for whatever you’re craving.

• Your Sofa: Well, if all else fails and sweatpants are calling your name, pick up a Mellow Mushroom pizza and settle into your sofa for an uber lazy afternoon.

Go Dawgs!
