DaveInTN 3,247 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 At Hollywood Studios, my favorite table service place is 50's Prime Time cafe. My kids love it too...lots of fun. If you go, try a PBJ milkshake. We enjoy Tony's Town Square at the MK. Not the best Italian food you'll ever have, but great atmosphere and the food is certainly enjoyable. At Epcot, we really love Via Napoli. Not sure if it is on the DP or not...but great pizza and a really nice atmosphere. That is a must eat place for us if we are in the parks.

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 We like Cape May at the Beach Club, a nice stroll in the evening outside the International Gateway at EpcotAt the MK, we like Liberty Tree Tavern, or we stroll over to the Contemporary for Chef Mickey's, or even take a monorail to the Poly for Ohana or Kona CafeAnother nice restaurant near MK and easy to get a reservation is Grand Floridian CafeCoral Reef is a cool Epcot restaurant only requiring one TS creditTusker House at Animal Kingdom is good also Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 We like Flame Tree in Animal Kingdom.The kids like Pizza Planet @ StudiosThe resturant in Cananda is our favorite planning on dinner there for our 25th wedding anniversary in Oct.Tony's in MK was pretty good 2 years agoMama Melrose was good also but a friend had issues with his steak.

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Are you planning to eat a TS lunch or supper at the parks? Some folks try to maximize the value of the plan, if you are doing that then lunch TS is not for you. I prefer to enjoy your time. If you plan on staying most of the day at the parks, then it is really nice to sit down in a cool restaurant and enjoy some peace and quiet...haha NOT! No TS at WDW is quiet!I liked having lunch at Sci-Fi at DHS. It's dark, cool and probably one of the quietest restaurants at WDW because everyone is watching the old sci-fi movie clips!The Wave at the Contemporary is also an easy restaurant to get to and they were really good when we ate there. Also, the Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary is a quick service credit and we really enjoyed our food there!O'hana is a fun meal for kids! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRDof3...Rob 40 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'll echo Carol's choices, they are some of our favorites. My oldest daughter and I also like to go to Boma's, at the AK Lodge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FortWildernessFan 10 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Our favorite restaurant is Ohana' at the Polynesian resort. Also we enjoy Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge. Another good one is Rainforest Cafe at either Animal Kingdom or Down Town Disney. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 If it helps, we have actual menus posted for lots of the restaurants on the site. Check out this page...http://www.fortfiends.net/_/dining/restaurants-and-menus/menu-guide-to-walt-disney-world-r115Also, AllEars has listings for pretty much every restaurant on property - just check the dates. Not all are current...http://allears.net/menu/menus.htmWe also have lots of dining reviews posted on this page...http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/forum/20-dining-reviews/Personally I don't think there are a lot of great TS restaurants in the parks, but there ARE some really great ones at some of the resorts and Downtown Disney.Here are some of my faves...MK:Crystal Palace - might be the best buffet on property in my opinionAK:Tusker House - another great buffet with some different choices, great one if you have a vegetarian in the groupEP:Le Cellier - one of the most popular on property and one of the hardest reservations to get. We tried here for the first time in November and it was fabulous!HS:50s Prime Time - fun atmosphere and good, "home cookin" style foodResorts:Narcoosees @ Grand Floridian - LOVE this place and wrote a review of it..http://www.fortfiends.net/forum/topic/245-narcoosees/page__hl__narcoosees__fromsearch__1Flying Fish @ Boardwalk - another terrific place for seafoodYachtsman Steakhouse @ Yacht Club - best steak I've ever had. We liked it so much that this past November we ate their TWICE. If you go, be sure to try the truffle mac n' cheese.California Grill @ Contemporary - one of our all time favorites. Plan to get there an hour or 2 before the MK fireworks. It's an amazing view! If you like sushi, this is the place to go!Jiko @ Animal Kingdom Lodge - this ranks up there with one of our favorites too. If you're going for an early dinner, plan to get there even earlier and explore the resort. It's amazing and they even have their own savannah with their own animals that you can view from a bunch of vantage points around the pool and public areas.Ragland Road @ Downtown Disney - great atmosphere and live music some (most?) evenings. If you like desserts you've gotta try the bread and butter pudding. We've gone here just to get this! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XBoater 8 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I am surprised no votes for breakfast buffet at Trail's End. While not a direct answer to the OP question, I have to give them a big shout out and High Five !!! My DW is a Celiac (Gluten intolerant) and TE Chef made her some awesome Eggs Benedict w/ BBQ Pork on Udi's Bagels... For a Celiac this is just heaven.Also not a direct answer, but we had dinner at Artist's Point at WL. Another big HighFive to Chef Russ there, he made the best meal for her since having to go GF... The mushroom soup, to die for !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XBoater 8 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 It is the most gluten friendly place on the planet as far as DW is concerned... Where else does the chef come to your table to discuss what he can personally do for you !!! This time of year they claim to enjoy a the challenge of going off menu, unlike the busy times.

Mama Steph 2 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 It is the most gluten friendly place on the planet as far as DW is concerned... Where else does the chef come to your table to discuss what he can personally do for you !!! This time of year they claim to enjoy a the challenge of going off menu, unlike the busy times.One of many reasons Disney is my favorite vacation spots. DD is not only gluten free but dairy free as well. The chefs are amazing. Last year, while at WCC, our chef came to our table at least 6 times. He was so friendly and helpful. Sarah ordered the skillet and he brought hers but also showed her, if she was picking off of ours, what she should avoid due to cross contamination! The kids love the bottomless milkshakes there and he made her one that was gf/df and came back out to ask if she wanted chocolate in it since Hershey's syrup is df. He spent so much time with us that he knew all 5 kids names by the end of the evening. I think that was the first time we went out to eat where she did not complain of "crab pinchies" afterwards. The first trip after starting her dietary restrictions was the one that secured Disney's place as #1 in my heart. Even at home, going out to eat is a pain so we avoid it as often as possible. Not at Dis. Her birthday is this week and the kids get to choose where we will go out to eat for their birthday dinner. She is pushing for Disney. LOL I don't think dad is going to go for it.
