Stuck at Orlando Convention Center--help!

[StephanieL]

I have to go to Orlando for a big convention in a few months. I’m going to be stuck out by the Convention Center the whole time–no car rental or anything like that. Anything even remotely decent at Pointe Orlando or the hotels? Uber/Lyft all the way to downtown probably won’t be an option–too expensive and I’m going to be working like a demon most of the time.

I was there a few years ago; looking for the thread. This might be it.

Good meals in Orlando area

I’ll be in Orlando next week at a conference (near Celebration), and I expect to have some spare time for dinners. Any suggestions for good restaurants (hopefully not national chains) within a reasonable radius? I will have a car. I’m open to most anything, but especially like fresh fish, BBQ (brisket especially), and comfort food. Cuban would be nice too. No high-end dining, thanks. I’ve been to the Columbia in Tampa, and liked it, so I’ll probably be visiting their Celebration restauran…

ETA I thought there was something more recent but I can’t find anything. I usually get delivery via GrubHub when I am staying at a Conference Center.
