Where to Eat in Kissimmee with a Big Group

The short list

Each pick below works for a group of 10 to 20, but they suit different nights. A table for fifteen on a Saturday night still takes planning, so this list covers places that set up for groups on their own websites and what each asks of a large party. We checked each restaurant's site in November 2026; hours, menus and prices change, so check again before you book.

Kobe Japanese Steakhouse: hibachi for a crowd

Hibachi is the easiest big-group dinner in the area, because the cooking is the entertainment and everyone eats at the same time.

Kobe lists two Kissimmee-area locations: Celebration/Kissimmee and West 192/Kissimmee. Its banquets page says, "Most locations are able to accommodate 20-60 guests in a private or semi-private room," depending on the store, and select stores can take up to 180. For parties of 11 or more, the page invites you to preview banquet spaces and set menus. For 21 or more, it asks you to use the online inquiry form, and a manager replies within 24 to 48 hours to confirm availability.

Two details matter for planning. Private, semi-private and public banquet spaces are booked in two-hour blocks, and extra time costs "an additional $100 per table, per hour." The inquiry is not a confirmed booking until the manager confirms it.

Good for: birthdays, kids who won't sit still for a long dinner, mixed groups who like different things. Hibachi grills seat a set number around each table, so a group of 18 may be split across two or three grills unless you book a private space.

Celebration: Columbia and Celebration Town Tavern

Downtown Celebration, a short drive from the US 192 corridor, has two strong group dinners near the lake, and the walk between them makes a pleasant evening.

Columbia Restaurant is the Celebration location of the Florida restaurant known for Spanish and Cuban food. Its page describes "old-world-style dining rooms" along with an outdoor cafe, a courtyard and a tapas bar. Reservations go through OpenTable from the restaurant's page, and there is an "Events & Banquets" contact for group reservations and a catering option for groups. Its listed hours are 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, and 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday. For a group of 12 or more, use the events contact rather than an online booking.

Celebration Town Tavern is a Boston-style pub and seafood restaurant with a kids menu and, by its own count, 99 bottles of beer. Its functions page is the clearest group policy we found in the area:

• A minimum food and beverage spend of $30 per person, plus 7% tax and a 22% service fee, for functions starting after 3pm.
• A room charge that depends on the space and the time of year.
• A $250 non-refundable deposit to hold the date, applied to the final bill.
• Your final headcount is due 3 days before the event, and that is the minimum number you pay for.
• Set menus for the whole group, including a lunch menu at $20 per person (11am to 2pm, not Sundays), other set menus at $40 and $45 per person, and a clambake menu at market price with a whole Maine lobster and steamers. The page says other options are available if a few guests don't eat seafood.

The tavern says all prices and guidelines can change, so ask for the current menus when you book. Its listed hours are 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday and 11am to 10pm Friday and Saturday, with Sunday brunch from 11am to 1pm.

Giordano's: deep dish for the whole house

Giordano's works two ways for a big group: as a casual dinner out, or as food picked up and brought back to the house.

The Kissimmee/Celebration location sits on the US 192 corridor, and its page lists hours of 11am to 11pm every day. The page says its catering menu is "perfect for corporate events, family reunions and group outings," and that carryout lead time is "typically 45-60 minutes," which allows time for the stuffed deep dish to bake. The page does not mention reservations, so call ahead for a large table.

For a big group, the carryout route is often the better one. Order an hour ahead, send two people to pick it up, and eat by the pool at the house. Deep dish is heavy, so a few pizzas go a long way; ask the restaurant how many people each size feeds.

Medieval Times: dinner and a show

Medieval Times is dinner and the evening's entertainment in one ticket, which takes a lot of planning off the group organizer.

The Orlando castle is in Kissimmee, off US 192. Dinner is served during a show of knights on horseback competing in a tournament. Its groups page says, "Visiting the Castle with a group of 15 or more? Leave the planning to us," with group options for birthday parties and company outings. Show times and prices vary by date, so check the castle's page for your night.

Good for: a group with children, a night when nobody wants to cook or choose a restaurant. Less good for: a group that wants to talk, since the arena is loud and everyone faces the show.

Sunset Walk: one district, many choices

When the group can't agree, Sunset Walk lets everyone pick their own dinner and meet afterward.

Sunset Walk is an entertainment district in west Kissimmee beside Margaritaville Resort Orlando, a short drive from the parks. Its directory lists more than a dozen places to eat and drink, including BR77 Brazilian Steakhouse, KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot, Estefan Kitchen, Lizzie's BBQ, Ford's Garage, Rock & Brews, Bento Asian Kitchen + Sushi and Cold Stone Creamery, plus a dine-in movie theater. Rock & Brews' Sunset Walk listing says it hosts events of any size and has a form for planning one.

How groups use it:

• Split by appetite. Teenagers to the burgers, grandparents to a quiet table, everyone together for ice cream at a set time.
• Book the big table separately. If the whole group wants to eat together, book one restaurant ahead; don't count on walking in with 15 people.
• Make it a night. Dinner, then a movie or a walk, keeps it to one parking stop.

How to plan group meals for a Kissimmee trip

Plan one or two big restaurant nights, and cook or bring food back to the house the rest of the time.

A group of 15 eating out three times a day adds up fast, and every restaurant meal means a wait for a big table, a long bill and a drive. A large home changes that. Breakfasts and most lunches at the house, a pool afternoon with takeout, and one special dinner out is a rhythm many families settle into after a park day.

Booking tips that save trouble:

1. Book 1 to 2 weeks ahead, more for holiday weeks, spring break and summer, when Kissimmee is full.
2. Ask about service charges. Many restaurants add one to large parties, and the tavern's functions page lists 22%.
3. Ask about split checks before you sit down, or plan to pay on one card and settle up later. Our guide to splitting costs on a group trip covers the easy ways.
4. Confirm the headcount a few days before, especially where the restaurant charges for a minimum number.
5. Plan the drive. Several cars arriving at different times is how a group of 15 becomes three groups of five. Agree on a meeting time in the parking lot.

Stay where the group can eat together

Our Kissimmee House has six bedrooms for up to 16 guests, a private screened pool and spa, a game room and space to cook together, so the group can save restaurant nights for the ones worth booking.

The bottom line

For a big group in Kissimmee, choose the restaurant by the kind of night you want: hibachi at Kobe for kids and birthdays, Columbia or Celebration Town Tavern for a sit-down dinner in Celebration, Giordano's for an easy pizza night, Medieval Times for a show, and Sunset Walk when the group wants choices. Book a week or more ahead, confirm your headcount, ask about service charges and split checks, and cook the other nights at the house.
