Largest independently owned restaurant district
Downtown Kissimmee is home to the largest independently owned restaurant district in Central Florida. Here, visitors can enjoy a casual hot dog lunch at Willy’s Wieners or cool down with nitrogen ice cream at the Abracadabra Ice Cream Factory, an outdoor parlor with over 50 toppings to adorn their scoops. For a more elevated dining experience, the Three Sisters Speakeasy serves from an eclectic menu that includes sushi, burgers, fried pickles and mahi mahi tacos. Residents who prefer to make dinner at home can quickly shop for groceries at the new Publix supermarket at Columbia Promenade, a shopping center in the community that includes a PNC Bank, a hibachi restaurant and grooming salons. Farther north on Route 17, additional shopping centers along the highway feature national retailers, fast-food franchises and big box stores such as Best Buy, Lowe’s, Petco and Hobby Lobby.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
