Food Recs (Orlando, Lakeland, Maitland: spring break, house, prices)

[b_rush]

Coming to Orlando for spring break and looking for best:
crab legs (buffet would be nice)
brick oven pizza
steak

It would help if you would give a price range. Best steak in the area is probably at Del Friscos, Cristianis, A Land remembered, or Capital Grill (Flemmings, Shula's and many others are all close seconds) but you're going to spend $75 per person minimum at any of them.

Crab legs, there are any number of good places for them, the best is a place up in the Maitland area, but I can't remember the name, I just know how to get there. The word buffet and "best" don't usually fall into the same sentence as an FYI.

Brick Oven Pizza. Again, many places. How far do you want to travel? The best is probably down in Lakeland.

Cityfish in Thornton Park has a killer crab leg special on Sundays.

Not sure if you'd go for coal-fired Pizza, but there is Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza off Sand Lake near I-drive.

We're not known for our pizza and you can get steak anywhere. I would echo crab legs at City Fish and Armando's for pizza. It's brick oven Neapolitan style pizza, and they do their best with what they have to work with. Linda's La Cantina on Colonial has moderately prices steaks and while I haven't been, I heard it's an institution.

I've eaten at Linda's many times. Food is good--for the price. Do not expect high end steak house quality. Service is more like a NJ Diner. It is not so far removed from a Longhorns type place, except it's not a cookie cutter fern bar type place.
