Most visitors stick to the hotel buffet or the big pancake chains on US-192. But if you venture just a few minutes off the main strip, you will find family-owned diners serving up some of the best breakfast in Central Florida.
1. Woodsby’s Countryside High
An absolute classic. This no-frills diner in the heart of Kissimmee serves country-style breakfast that hits the spot. The biscuits and gravy are legendary, and the portions are massive.
2. Matador Tacos & Tapas
Yes, a taco spot for breakfast. Their breakfast tacos—stuffed with chorizo, egg, and potato—are a game changer. Pair it with a strong Café con Leche for the perfect fuel before a park day.
3. The Paper Chunky
Famous for their massive, fluffy pancakes that hang off the edge of the plate. It is a bit of a drive, but the friendly service and homemade syrups make it worth the trip.
These local spots are popular on weekends. Arrive before 8:30 AM to beat the church rush and the late-waking tourists.
