Food Near Sea World/Aquatica

Please rescue me from chains! I'm taking a day trip tomorrow to Aquatica, Sea World's Waterpark and am hoping someone will respond with a suggestion for a cheap (no more than $10th pp) meal that this Floridian can be a sunscreened tourist in and not be out of place. (Food trucks or BBQ are good bets, I'm thinking.) I'm from Tampa Bay, so would prefer near or south of the parks. Thanks, all!

    are u going to leave the park during the day and go back?
    or are u eating after wards on the way home?

    we typically eat in the parks...as much of a hassle it sometimes can be to pack everything up and leave and then come back its much easier to eat in the park..

    and at aquatica u can bring some stuff in with you..

      We'll be bringing lunch with us in a cooler along with snacks and drinks, but we will want dinner out of the park.

        sunday night is going to be a little more of a challenge as your probably going to find mostly chains open ...

        there are a few threads about orlando dining..

        personally after a long day at the parks on just short trips...we like golden corral...or some of the other buffets ..when we stay for the long week we look for good eats..
