I love Kevin's restaurant reviews and find them a valuable tool when planning my escapes to Disney.:thumbsup2
I value his honesty (and John's too)
My favorite one is the horrible dinner at Cinderella's Round Table. i was listening at work and I laughed so hard my co-workers asked if I was okay.:lmao:

It's so hard to choose which one I like best! The Ohana review stands out a lot, though :rotfl:

Don't forget the "sad little crab cake"....

The sad little crab cake is probably the best, plus I believe it was his first review.
The lemon sweat over twigs from this weeks Kouzzina review is a close second.

My favorite review will always be Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club. It has great commentary from Pete too. :thumbsup2

My favorite is Cindy's Royal Table too. The little girls in the review are so cute... but then, I'm a little biased. ;)

The Boatwrights review was the best one for me. His descriptions were wonderful!

Chalk me up as a super fan. Now I'm not Kathy Bates fan but a big fan none the less.

Val & I are fans of Kevin's reviews. Over time, we've found that we agree with 90+% of Kevin's comments so when he rates a place highly, it immediately goes on our list. Of course, we also try the places he doesn't care for - there is still that 10%. :cake:
And we're getting to the point where we enjoy his bad reviews as much as we enjoy Pete's rants. Bring it on!!! :3dglasses

I agree Cinderella's Royal Table is my favorite! I was laughing so hard I was crying at work. I had to play it for everyone at work on the computer so they understood what I thought was soooo funny!
Keep up the great reviews Kevin! I look forward to them! :thumbsup2

That one and his Tony's Town Square review (March 08) are the best.

I think they're great! With two of three kids being very picky eaters, we're a bit limited as to where we get to go. I like to live vicariously through Kevin and John! My favorite review?....I did enjoy imagining the look on Kevin's face as they were asked to move repeatedly at Tony's Town Tavern. ;)

I love all his reviews both the good ones and the bad ones.
When we found the podcast we had already been to Disney twice, and had eaten at alot of the places that he gave a bad review too.
So it was nice to plan our next trip on some dining that had good reviews.
I think that Kevin is right on the mark with his reviews.
We have since eaten at a few places that he gave bad reviews to and had a good meal. However most of the time we tend to go with the places he gives the good reviews to. :banana:

He does reviews in the podcast. I don't know if they get written up somewhere, I've never looked.
I have to say I always enjoy them too which is so odd because I have never been to WDW, I have no idea where these places are, and I probably won't get there until at least 2013 or 2014. But I just love the reviews! :thumbsup2
I remember one about a place where it seemed to be a secret that you could get bread with your meal. :rotfl:

Although I said my favorite was the "sad little crab cake" I think I have to change now to Kouzzina....Just listened yesterday driving back from Disneyland...OMG!!!:lmao:
I sometimes wish the pod cast had video for these reviews. Nothing would have been funnier then Kevin reading and trying so hard to pronounce the Greek dishes...it sure was funny..I had to keep stopping the podcast to explain to the others in the car what he was saying since I was listening with my earplugs and I was laughing so much I could hardly talk...Since we are Greek and speak Greek it was even that much funnier. Some of the pronunciations were the worst we have heard ever...just classic!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Kevin is to be commended for trying, we know Greek can be hard...Keep up the great work Kevin....
I must say though to everyone...don't give up on Greek food. When prepared correctly it is very good. Try it at a Greek Festival or a restaurant that is not so pretentious. (as John said) Perhaps a family owned little Greek place....

I love Kevin's reviews. I appreciate his honesty. I've been to restaurants that he has given negative reviews on and he is always completely on the money. I've also gone to restaurants that he has given positive reviews to - places that I might not ordinarily go to - and again, he is always on the mark.
Big fan, big fan!

I am a fan of Kevin's reviews. I love his honesty and want to hear his opinion. Sometimes I agree with him, and sometimes I don't. Either way is ok. My favorite is the sad little crab cake. Keep up the great work Kevin.

I also love the good and bad reviews. I listen to what the crew has to say and then decide weather I want to try the restaurant or not. I have changed an ADR based a review. I have never eaten a Ohana for dinner instead I went to Texas de Brazil. Thanks DIS Unplugged crew. Texas de Brazil was one of the best meals I have ever had. We had the best server Ever! :goodvibes

I really like his reviews; they're one of my favorite parts of the podcasts. Plus, he's sweet to his mom and looks out for her when they go out to eat. As a mother of young sons, I hope my boys are like that someday.
