10 Outrageous Disney World Restaurants You’ll Either Love or Hate

[@jeffaltier5582]

We've been to the 50's Sit com restaurant a couple times and enjoyed it a lot. You know you're basically getting comfort food going in so a lack of adventurous options wasn't a big shock. One place you didn't mention was Whispering Canyon. One of my favorite places to have a meal at Disney. It can get pretty boisterous but we loved it.

[@wilfredodiaz8743]

I've only been to a few restaurants in Disney world but if i lived in the state of Florida I would have loved to have eaten in as many places possible there, even if only once just for the experience... MERRY Christmas to you AJ and your wonderful Staff and HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@jimeagle1155]

The Yorkshire fish market in Epcot is 100-percent must do at least two times on every vacation, it's freaking delicious beyond belief, I love that place

[@thelisarahman]

It’s top tier for sure. Take my $12!! Take all my money but gimme that fish and chips. It’s better than even Columbia Harbor House. But CHH is also top tier restaurant for MK

[@ellaisnotanumbrella6707]

Unless you’re British like me lmao

[@thelisarahman]

@@ellaisnotanumbrella6707 lmao. Okay. But in America, it’s delicious.

[@wheresmytiara021]

Just curious, never eaten there, is it light fish flavor, or really fishy?

[@thelisarahman]

@@wheresmytiara021 light fish flavor. It’s usually a white fish so it’s not too fishy tasting

[@LinusCello75]

It would be great if there was a similar future video the highlighted the best dishes from these restaurants (like the “best food at the worst restaurant” video).

[@chloewildner167]

Great idea! I would love this video. Sometimes you end up eating at a restaurant because your kids love the theming or it had a dining package.

[@angelakattula3596]

I’m pretty sure they have a video like this! I swear I remember watching it a while ago but not 100% sure.

[@edwindrood2816]

Good idea

[@CJ-qu2nx]

Love this idea!

[@kathymcel]

when we ate at Coral Reef in May we got to sit right next to the window which was awesome. The food was pretty good IMO but the best thing was my daughter has allergies and the chef came to the table and planned a special meal just for her. Very nice. I know most places will do this at Disney but he was especially nice at going over exactly what she would like.

[@chrisfutrell7426]

If lemon-scented Pledge furniture polish is your jam, then the green milk is absolutely for you. If not, stick with the blue.

[@sarahbernhard4939]

Coral Reef could be soooo good if they stepped the food up. The aquarium is amazing, especially if you get a table right next to it but the food is very disappointing 😢

[@dans4125]

Sadly I agree and with a fairly small menu there's not really an excuse for the quality

[@jimeagle1155]

I don't know about now, but pre-covid, Biergarten was worth every penny just to shove your face full of all the different cheesecake desserts. And no one ever seems to talk much about the entertainment there which is top-notch!

[@BriannaK]

Yes seeing the kids dance is the sweetest 🥺🥺🥺

[@danabeth67]

It’s been a few year ago since I’ve been but we enjoyed the whole experience!

[@somibonne1716]

I loved Sci fi dining and coral reef when I went to Disney and I loved it. The food and themes were good

[@RedPandaStan]

An advantage for the reef that most people overlook, it's always near empty. Most people aren't aware it exists, so it's pretty quiet normally and a great place to go if everywhere else is taken.

[@justaworm1]

DISNEY!!! Please, please change the video at Sci-Fi Drive In. And this time, make it any number of movies so that it is different every time you go in and you dont loop back around before your meal is done.

[@dominiquecavalluzzi5169]

I freaking love Biergarten!! Probably my favorite Disney restaurant.

[@alyoung6088]

Great Reviews, AJ & crew! Family & I have been to 4 from your list: - Sci-Fi Dine In -- Food good, atmosphere excellent, but very dark - 50's Prime-Time -- Food great, atmosphere excellent, fun times - German Biergarten -- Food good, atmosphere excellent, fun times - Character Meal (Tusker House) -- Food good, atmosphere excellent (except for the one person in our group who hates characters) Not on your list (but could have been): - Whispering Canyon Cafe -- Food great, atmosphere excellent, fun times (but loud & boisterous) Restaurant could be renamed "Shouting Canyon" Surprising best thing we ever ate at WDW: Off-Menu Turkey Panini Sandwich with real mozzarella & pesto on freshly baked bread. We walked into the dining hall at Pop Century & saw them preparing the sandwiches. Incredibly tasty! Now, we'll always be watching for & asking about off-menu items that might be a standout meal.

[@bitesize326]

As a Star Wars fan, Oga's was amazing! Fuzzy Tauntaun was fun to try. We were standing but with just 2 adults this trip it wasn't a big deal. I thoroughly enjoyed Galaxy's Edge. Thanks for all the tips AJ. I know they definitely helped with previous trips. Always look forward to your vids. They are perfect for planning future trips especially with all the changes that have happened and the new experiences that are coming soon.

[@artfrederick6460]

I had the lobster roll at Columbia Harbor house. It was a big roll with a teaspoon of the lobster filling. A big overpriced rip-off.

[@sarah_harvell]

I’m torn about Coral Reef. I love animals and aquariums, but I think I’d feel weird eating seafood while looking at fish and other aquatic animals.

[@indycolt2017]

50s prime time cafe is one of my favorites. And the food is delicious.

[@janakemmere1590]

Great tips AJ and team! Thanks so much for the recommendations! We won't be in the parks until 2023, but you are helping me do my homework!! Thanks so much!

[@victorianelson7005]

Oga’s cantina was so fun and my favorite drink has to be the carbon freeze

[@silentpaw]

Of all the places you mentioned, I think the only ones I would not go to are Olga's and Trader Sam's. While I love the atmosphere of these places, I am not a big drinker, and since the main draw is alcoholic drinks, they really have no attraction for me. Though I am glad to hear you talkignabout the Beirgarten. It is one of my absolute favorite places in EPCOT to eat, and when I worked at the parks I would try to go there as often as possible.

[@edwindrood2816]

Gideons is such a nice local success story. They were so excited to open at Disney Springs!

[@louster89]

Sci-fi Dine-In Theater is our FAVORITE. We’ve been going to Disney every couple years since I was a kid and it’s a tradition. If they ever get rid of it I’ll be crushed. We’ve gone so much that we can speak the movie lines as they’re playing on screen 😂 Never had an issue sharing a car with another family since the booth seating is so separated anyway and the atmosphere is so fun. Highly recommend. SO GLAD I saw this before making reservations for our upcoming trip because I was super confused about the Oga’s Cantina situation. I thought it was a restaurant but couldn’t figure out why all the pictures I saw of it had people standing. Thank you for clarifying!!

[@2short99]

Went to Oga’s in Disneyland a few months ago and we got a same day reservation. For me it was a fun little experience to get a cocktail but I probably wouldn’t go again. Doesn’t seem worth the wait and we also had to stand. If you do end up going and the premixed drinks don’t have enough alcohol for you ask for “jet fuel” it’s a fun little secret menu item they have it’s basically a shot .

[@jessicapowers6617]

Sci-fi dine in we ended up doing at the very end of the day at Hollywood Studios and it was soooo good

The Le Cellier recommendations make me nervous that eventually people will catch on that it is still a hidden gem despite how praised it already is.

[@mollieshakira1419]

Hearing that AJ’s experience with Space 220 food wasn’t great was a huge surprise to me! I loved the food there. Definitely more elevated than standard theme park food and yeah it’s expensive and probably not worth the price but everything I ate when I went was faultless. 🤷🏻‍♀️ either we got real lucky or AJ got real unlucky!

[@carolinecinqmars7174]

Thanks AJ you help me stop feeling bad about not going to Coral Reef as I had planned to when I visited Eptcot in 2016. That was one of my regrets. We had to change our plan because my husband had a heatstroke in Epcot and went back to the hotel. Cast members were super accommodating in changing our reservation for the Maya Grill which ended up to be a good meal.

[@ljaustin2009]

Si-Fi Drive in is defiantly on my do no return list. Kids were 4 & 6 and no one enjoyed the food or the movies. So many better choices.

I’m planning a trip to WDW for September of 2023 and I have been watching your videos and others but it was soo cool to see @ordinaryadventures in your video when you were talking about Space 220!

[@TSV805]

I get motion sick and have an issue with some rides that feature the video screens. (For example, there is so much wrong with the horrible ride Mission Space, we never go on that one.) Do the screens around the space restaurant cause motion sickness if you're sensitive to it?

[@patsysolatzzo2962]

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I am skipping out for the first time on the character dining this trip. Specifically the breakfast. The character dining used to feel like i was killing two birds with one stone. I was able to see the characters, while getting in an essential meal, without having to wait in the line to the parks. What I loved about it is that I can get exclusive photo ops in clothing I wouldn’t wear in the park (for comfort etc) then I could change and go to the park.sadly because of covid restrictions I don’t think it’s worth it. I am all for keeping the characters safe but for me personally I go for the hugs and autograph book so I can fill it with Polaroids from the breakfast. I am not swearing them off. I will be the first in line for when restrictions are lifted!

[@jordirenaud9438]

I love the Biergarten the food has been really great every time I've been there.

Re SciFi -- it's the only place I know where I can get a "cookie shake" that contains something between Oreo-like cookie pieces and cookie dust. Didn't get there on recent trip so not sure exactly.

[@richardmercer2337]

And once in Prime Time I saw a calendar that had my birthday on it -- month, day, AND year!

[@KarenLawana]

I'm definitely pulling on the love end of the rope! I adore Sci Fi, Prime Time, Biergarten, and all of the character meals. I haven't been to the others on this list, but I'd love to go to any of them!

[@thecrazydisneyparksfanatic921]

The 50s prime time café I like the food and the atmosphere but for the sci-fi dine in theater place I only like that just for the atmosphere, the last time I ate there the food was very passable

[@jimwinstonwine4508]

This is a fantastic grouping. I love it. A patchwork quilt of locations & styles. I’ve been to some, and will be going to Oga’s at 9:45am on Jan 31! So? I think a Fuzzy Tauntaun might be a good mid-morning refreshment.

[@philollenberg]

Space 220: food was delicious, concept/atmosphere got boring to me before the appetizers were at our table.

[@bensilberman4912]

Coral Reef...ever have a fish swim by while your eating in a table right next to the window and poop. Not very appetizing at all. LMAO I also found it a bit Twilight zone-ish to eat fish while they are swimming by alive haha

[@sandrabiscarner9217]

You too love 50’s prime time, the last time my husband and I were there the cast member was not in character at all. He introduced himself by his name, cousin, brother etc. he also didn’t act in any character. Did not like Coral reef, love watching the aquarium, but the food was horrible. Love sci-fi dine inn.

[@DigitalAndInnovation]

Never been to Gideon's- but out of all the others I love them all (with MAYBE the exception of Coral Reef, I can't really speak to because I went there once, maybe 15+ years ago, It was a great atmosphere- don't remember much else).

[@mrcranpro]

Omg. I never had a bad experience at Biergarten ever. And blue milk forever!

[@dee_mcgee11]

Steakhouse 71 is a much better option than Space 220.

[@nathanwalker6455]

💯

[@patsysolatzzo2962]

While I haven’t been to space yet I’m not sure I will. The theming of space looks sterile and unpleasing. Like it’s campy but tries on what looks like an upscale menu. Maybe I’m not the demographic but steakhouse 71 is definitely really good and the ambiance matches the menu.

[@timmytimmy17]

Question for those who are disappointed in Coral Reef... Did you go for lunch or dinner? From my experience I think lunch is good but maybe dinner isn't?

[@victoriamahon3765]

Also it’s funny because we thought not gonna be seven was too bland I can be fair we have any in there in a while. It felt like a diner food to us with one or two strange ingredients thrown in trying to spice it up. Overall it felt pretty plain and understand compared to the rest of Star Wars land. Also that being said we usually prefer a Ronto wrap, because it’s unique and tastes a lot better,

[@ComoShepherd]

Sci Fi - it's dark and quiet. The hour we spent in this cool oasis was the perfect recharge in the late afternoon (we also missed a shower but you can't plan that) Trader Sam's - If you don't want to wait and can bypass the ambience, the poolside bar offers the premium drink menu...2 per adult. I won't say that we ordered them sans the drinks just to get the tiki cups...but I also won't say we DIDN'T do that...

[@victoriamahon3765]

Oh my God I second the thing with Olga’s! I actually have health problems and use the DAS and cannot stand for long periods of time, and I asked to wait and be seated instead of standing and was refused and made fun of by the host! We wound up standing entire time and it was absolutely miserable. I don’t understand why they can’t at least put small stools in or have a few spare stools available for people that need them at least! To be fair we went back during the pandemic when everything was still distancing at Disney and they were seating everyone at that time, but I believe they’re back up to capacity now so back to no seats for most people.

[@UmmYeahOk]

Hey AJ, can you help discuss walk ups? I attempted to get an ADR 60 days out, and naturally it’s booked. Ended up getting an ADR for a different restaurant but noticed that the place I want to eat at has a “walk up” option that fills up later in the day. I don’t want to cancel my ADR at the other place because I want to eat somewhere, but if my family gets to do standby, something you can’t do till the day of, will we be charged the cancellation fee? Should we cancel our ADR in person, or just check in then leave?

[@RvBnerd618]

As mentioned, it's best to look at the cancellation policy with the restaurant you've made a reservation for. Rule of thumb is cancelling a day prior to when your party will arrive is a safe bet to avoid cancellation fees, it would also be worth calling the establishment if you are curious about how they handle it. I think if you were to go in and then leave, you'd still be slapped with the cancellation fee, so you might as well just cancel in advance depending on the day you've booked it.

[@Siodail69]

the biggest rip off at Disney is Choza de Margarita in Mexico at Epcot. 2 extremely small taco shells with very little filling was $10.50.

[@couch2558]

Tbh prime time is good if you want really good fried chicken and dont have an issue with noise, but the restaurant is very very loud because its all tile and plastic (both are bad at absorbing sound) and if you're not getting fried chicken its honestly not great food. Also it's very hard to navigate, especially with a wheelchair. Personally its near the bottom of my list, but I can see why a lot of people like it.

[@KettouRyuujin]

I’ve always wanted to do Sci-Fi Drive-In, but I’ve always been touch-and-go with movies so yeah. Then again, I now realize that the seating arrangement may mean I can break out the earbuds without offending the rest of the party as much… Hrm. Something to consider.
