Summer House on the Lake Has Wicker and Room for Improvement

Summer House on the Lake is the newest restaurant at Disney Springs with its California flavors and quickly becoming famous Cookie Bar, but does it actually hold up to other restaurants there like Homecomin', Wine Bar George, or The Boathouse? In our opinion, no, but that doesn't mean we won't be back.

Hannah is saying it how it is 😂 having watched tons of vloggers saying this place is amazing. She is a keeper , keeping it real

[@angelas9467]

Yah I live the "this place is amazing and our bill was 150 " if you don't have an AP haha.

[@DISUnlimited]

She doesn't hold back at all and it's fun to see her reaction in the moment because we don't know where she is going.

[@alysaurusrex2166]

I watch so many Disney KZbinrs but yall are the only ones I really trust because yall tell it like it is every time. Nobody wants to spend thousands on a vacation, go to a brand new very expensive restaurant and be disappointed. You guys are doing the lords work

[@jayneestrycker7453]

Amen!

[@jacquelinepipolo3683]

The prices are crazy. When you guys said the prices for the desserts I thought they would be big and really pretty. When I saw that paper thin slice of lemon cake and that little sad slice of pie that looked like it came out of Dennys I laughed. Ryno was so funny with his commentary. He always makes me laugh lol

[@nicoleacosta5545]

Hannah and the Real Housewives of Lake Buena Vista starring Ryno and Craig! I am here for that series. Craig as a once famous songtress now filming reality TV and Ryno as the comedic relief/looking for his new food love. Great honest and fun review!

[@jennifermacleod4388]

You guys look so happy and relaxed and that makes me happy too 😊 Also Hannah you're awesome I love your sense of humor!

[@GiaBlinks]

I watched another video with similar reviews. Thanks for being so transparent. I love Hannah, she's doing great, and is very relatable.

[@kliddleable]

"The cat did a back flip out of it." LOL

[@kristineholcomb4738]

Hannah had me cracking up. Shes a wonderful addition to the food review team! ❤😂

[@DISUnlimited]

She really is!

[@anit_adventure]

I’ve been on the opening team of 6 restaurants. Trust me, they ALWAYS need some time to settle in and really figure out what they’re doing! I never judge a restaurant by anything that happens in the first month or so. Looking forward to trying this place out when I’m back down there at the end of January.

[@bobdistel1360]

10 bucks for an egg and a half? Other prices will keep reservations unnessasary. Nope. Prices will keep us away.

[@jeffbostock5820]

Yeah $10 for an egg and a half is a joke!

[@JLGoldman5]

Hannah is a really strong addition. She’s natural on camera and understands the “optimistic fan with a bit of edge” vibe that the team has when it’s firing on all cylinders.

[@jeffbostock5820]

Totally agree!

[@Anamariagaray]

I digress. She is always criticizing the food, nothing seems to be “good enough” for her, she just brings the good vibe down…

[@Rachel-xu4br]

Love the commentary on the guacamole. It seems every Disney vlogger so far has been saying it's 10/10 and overly expresses how mind-blowingly-amazing it is. It just seems like a lot of vloggers are overly excited for this guacamole and I had my suspicions. I was looking forward to seeing your guys opinion and it's refreshing to hear a different opinion. I think the only thing you agree with it is the fact that's fresh. Which I don't know, maybe that's why they love it so much and honestly, some people like pure, or plain guacamole. So that could be another reason why.

[@DISUnlimited]

I make my own guacamole at home and it isn't hard to make it fresh and flavorful as long as the avocados are ripe. These ones were but they seemed afraid to use even a generous amount of onion to give it a pop let alone tomatoes, salt, peppers, etc..

[@TheMrmouse4]

Thanks just canceled my Summer House ressie and made a Wine Bar George. We will just pop in to get a cookie

[@janetwinslow4420]

love the Grease reference! Have fun

[@gillianessien7417]

Good singing Craig, fun intro! And nice shirt!

[@lindastiewing2456]

The song was great Craig! Fun!

[@wiggydebates3944]

This is the second review that I have heard two things: food was not to temp and old fashioned was NOT balanced (and not good). Seemed very high for what you guys got. Thanks for getting there right away for a review! Merry Christmas.

[@rachel5534]

Seems like for the prices Homecomin is a better choice.

[@ItsKimOlson]

GREAT intro, Craig!!! 💖💖💖 the creativity!!!

[@JAYl97]

This channel has been the first honest review on this resturant and I feel everything that was said... Way too much $$ for the type of food they serve,. American food over priced. Guac and chips with lobster 30 bucks. Geeeezusss. This channel keeps it 💯

[@KforFreedom]

You 3 are the Disney characters in there 😂

[@TheRealConcertKing]

Singing right out of the gate. This is the content I'm subscribed for. A+

[@jcrotchfeltjr]

This place seems like a very expensive take advantage of Disney gusts kinda place .

[@carolynsmith1976]

Thank you for the review. Sounds like a lot of bad teething problems. Hopefully they will be sorted. Very much enjoyed the musical opening, and await the group tap dance with anticipation.

[@maureengibbons-y9c]

Thanks for the review. Wa$ excited to try but based on look$ of food, we will wait a bit. 😊

[@cindyardoin1748]

Many of us who vacation at WDW have car rentals, I would love to see a few reviews of your favorites within 15-20 minutes of the parks.

[@dee_mcgee11]

That intro was on point! 😂

[@jeffbostock5820]

Craig should apply for a part time job with the Voices of Liberty!

[@ericasibley4936]

Would you ever go a show highlighting some of the off property hidden gems that you as locals go to? Coming to Disney for 10 days and would love to try some great Orlando options!

[@lisareckmeyer9745]

I'll confess when I started this video i thought "Who is this singing person and what has he done with Craig?" lol ... I enjoy Craig and Ryno's videos. Keep it up guys! 🙂

[@FrancesAlicia]

Cute video! Thank for sharing guys! ❤

[@robertsestito6821]

That salad looks like a McDonald's southwest chicken salad

[@jeffbostock5820]

Thanks for the review. I was going to head over and try the Sommerhus in a few weeks, but think I’ll hold off for now. The prices seem too high for what you get, especially if the flavor is bland. Thanks for taking one for the team. Also, I like that shirt, Craig!

[@tiggerette9509]

Thank you for that super cute intro! Now to watch the rest of the review! PS. Happy to help with voice lessons for the new vid series.... TikiBar-Karaoke! ;) Ta'bu E Tay! :D

[@bradp9074]

This is a great review. The vibe reminds me of a mall food court and the food in general appeared to be generic nothing special and those prices are insane. I feel they may find themselves closed sooner than later. Mainly because there are plenty of other great restaurants in Disney springs. They need to specialize in great dishes and focus on that. And get rid of the “cookie bar”. My goodness no one is gonna just go there for a cookie. Love the summer house name and has potential. I don’t eat there but agrees with the 3.5 rating. Maybe even 3.2.

[@DISUnlimited]

They'll last. I actually think they'll improve the food in the future and if they do you can swallow the price more. If they don't, it will probably become a go-to for people who can't get in anywhere else because the restaurant is pretty massive.

[@liveforkingjesus]

the espresso martini looks sad, i got one at Lazy dog for $8 and looked way better

[@BGreen112]

17$ guacamole, 27$ salads, and 23$ for 3 tacos. Who is paying these kind of prices for such mediocre food

[@halfassfashion]

And $10 for 1.5 deviled eggs?????

[@robertsestito6821]

Not just Disney restaurants these days. Try getting a meal at McDonalds

Omg invite her to come out again! Loved her commentary ❤

[@barcafan1033]

It has become a bit of a tradition for me to stop at Frontera Cocina on my visits to Disney Springs for a cold drink and their seasonal guacamole. Can’t taste through a screen, but that guacamole looked very sad. Certainly won’t be tempting me to change up my routine. Also, as someone who feels the urge to always lean positive when giving opinions on food, basically as long as it’s edible I’ll make excuses for it, I sensed quite a bit of that happening in this video. Really like the chemistry forming with this group; Hannah having fun with Ryno about cilantro aversion was a particularly nice moment.

[@DISUnlimited]

Hannah is fitting in immediately and is a joy to work with.

[@stevenweatherman7325]

Stop apologizing for getting a lot of food. We all get it: you normally wouldn't get so much food, but you're reviewing the restaurant for us. One needs a larger sample in order to form an opinion. Good review. Helpful.

[@Jimmy-Mc]

Even if its tasty, those prices for tacos and guac are crazy. I do think its a good alternative when Gideons has a 4 hour virtual queue and you don’t have that kind of time.

[@tammystime3]

I think the whole server diabolical probably messed up your experience. Unfortunately, that can happen. Great video. Hope to try their food some trip.

[@tanyaldutton]

Fish eating 101: if it smells fishy, send it back.

[@jayneestrycker7453]

This place is out of my price point. Sorry to say cause the atmosphere, especially on a nice day, would be fun😊

[@haiderodes]

It’s just a Lettuce Entertain You chain. Their restaurants are all overpriced for what they offer. Just got one in Vegas with the same menu and pricing.

[@pumpkinprincess4371]

Lake Meadows Farms is a local farm the deviled eggs are from. Got these prices I think I would rather have tried and true Homecomin’😅

[@wendyaldridge4983]

Looks like Gideons doesn’t have to worry about cookie competition.

[@stevenwar30]

I think they do especially with the lemon cookie

[@wendyaldridge4983]

@@stevenwar30 for $6 for a half pound cookie the price is better and more variety at Gideons

I will reach out to him lol I’ll be sure to teach him a little routine 😂

[@JasmineDreams]

Idc if they iron out some of the hiccoughs in a month or two… those prices are nowhere near worth it. I had a bigger and tastier-looking salad in the Discovery Center at Universal Islands of Adventure for about half that price. I will be passing on this place so I can spend the money I’ll save on some pins or something lol sheesh. Like… $22 for a thin slab of chicken and no sides? Pass lol

[@kayannhorn233]

Ryno,if you enjoy Gin.Roku, it is excellent.Japanese ,very smooth.

265 after tip.

Craig, you look good.

[@ManzaMediaTV]

If by “beach classics” Craig is not referring to Beach Boy’s music, that’s a swing and a miss for me! lol

[@DISUnlimited]

I definitely don't mean that lol. Like late 90s/early 2000s California sad rock.

[@lesliereynolds4492]

Looks like there is a tiny bit of avocado on Rynos salad but when it’s tiny nobody recognizes it.

[@bobdistel1360]

But Craig, will you go back on your own dime?

[@DISUnlimited]

Yes.

[@jayneestrycker7453]

Do you know how many deviled eggs I can make at home for $10????? The Church Lady deviled eggs at Homecomin is way better👍

[@DISUnlimited]

Agree!

[@CrazyMagicalAdventures]

We love Craig’s intro song! We have been hearing that the food is coming out mediocre and somewhat on the colder side and the guac. Was kind of tasteless. Also, the Old Fashion, we’ve heard horrible things about and even the wait staff admit it’s not good but don’t warn you ahead of time. We definitely will be going here, but we’ll give it about 6 months to figure things out a little more. Great review! 😊

[@lexis4490]

Dam this is expensive. 😮

[@nicoletwisk5122]

They should be ashamed of that pie. The presentation is deplorable. Why not drizzle some chocolate sauce on the plate? Add some more whipped cream on the side? They really need some help which is shocking. Great review. Not shocking you all hated most of it lol. That lemon cake should have been twice as big for the price.

[@tpg5974]

36:44 "it's just not worth it." Then how the heck can you give it a 6 for COST?!?!?!? This is where you lose credibility. Be honest in your reviews and if something "isn't worth it", then it should be a 1.

[@dantefreely5850]

Are those cookie mouse ears on the thumbnail intentional or coincidence?

[@DISUnlimited]

Coincidence.
