sci-fi diner-we all loved the burgers, even though dd was appalled
that her mushroom/swiss burger had portabellos instead of green giant!

loved the food, i thought the food was okay, but worth it to touch the duck!

pecos bill's-good burgers and great fixins' bar

are ribeye sandwiches! don't forget dessert!

yakitori house-even the kids love this one! on our first visit, then 3 yo ds looked around and said to dh, 'help me catch some rice on my sticks, dad'. he eats better here than at any of the wdw restuarants! dd gets plain, white rice, lol!

toy story pizza planet-again the pizza-love eating outside under
the umbrellas and people watching!

I don't think I can put these in order, but here goes....

1. Spring Rolls at Kona Cafe----very crispy, chock full o veggies and delicious.

2. Won Tons, Sticky Wings & Salad at 'Ohana....could be happy there without the main course of meat, meat and more meat (although that was good too!) And the VIEW! Awesome.

3. A burger piled high with grilled onions at Pecos Bills.

4. The Prime Rib at Kona Cafe----and the julienned veggies were out of this world.

5. The fish and chips at Rose & Crown- crispy and hot! Num!

6. Ribs and cornbread at Whispering Canyon- stick to your ribs kinda grub. And fun atmosphere to boot!

7. Dinner at Cape May Cafe- great fish, ribs, bread, sides and DESSERT---Oreo Bon Bon anyone?

8. Steak at Shula's (although DH said Yachtman was just about as good with better service-he went there while on a business trip in December)

9. S'mores at 50's Prime Time. Mom said her Pot Roast was lick the plate good.

10. Call me simplistic, but I think the chicken fingers at WDW are the best----sitting at a table with my loved ones, people watching at the MK or wherever, chewing on a chicken finger, with honey mustard dip and fries and my Diet Coke. Heaven. :teeth:

[Alice28]
