Best Breakfast Buffet

[Katti Michele]

What do you think is the best breakfast buffet?

We're extremely picky eaters and you can't really mess up waffles, biscuits, and sausage (possibly bacon after some of the reviews i've read!) We have a 1:50pm "brunch" ADR for Chef Mickey's, but i'm looking for other suggestions!

Does it have to be a "buffet" or can it be an all-you-care-to-eat? Are characters a requirement?

 

[Maleficent Dragon]

For all-you-care-to-eat, we have tried all of the breakfast locations. Here are our favorites:

O'hana
Princess Storybook
Boma (no characters)

We have found that the food at all of the other restaurants is all pretty much the same. Chef Mickey's, Cape May, 1900 Park Fare, Crystal Palace, etc. The only thing that is different is the locations.

Boma has a great selection... also has one of the best tropical fruit juices as well.

 

[Mickey&Mouse]

We've always enjoyed the Chef Mickey's breakfast, but our favorite is Crystal Palace- lots of variety, including an omelet station.

Tusker House is my family's favorite.

Cape May Cafe is delicious but off the beaten path.

Our favorite is Cape May, with Ohana a very close second. Ohana isn't a buffet, but is all you can eat with the food brought to your table.

BOMA, BOMA, BOMA--Tusker House too if they still have Donald!

We aren't buffet fans in general but have tried a few for my daughter and the characters. The only one we truly enjoyed the food at was tusker house. They have the traditional breakfast fare that is well executed and some unique offerings that are truly great

Boma and 1900 park fare

Tusker House is great!

 

[enchantedtikigoddess]

'Ohana is a big favorite for us!

 

[DISNEY1975]

Crystal Palace is our favorite breakfast buffet. They have a ton of options. 1900 Park Fare is probably close for 2nd place.

If you are looking for characters....Cape May is my favorite, but my daughter would pick Hollywood and Vine w/ Sophia, Doc and Jake.

Akershus - cold buffet with LOTS of great options for breakfast and they bring the hot items to your table, like scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and an amazing cheesy potato casserole and it is all you can eat... they will also bring mickeys waffles upon request! We loved this for breakfast!

Tusker House

Crystal Palace

Trail's End has a FANTASTIC breakfast buffet and it's far less expensive than the others but has tons of great options including pulled pork eggs Benedict (amazing), breakfast pizza, sticky pecan buns, even cute mason jars of guava-orange juice. The traditional offerings are great too, including Mickey Waffles. It's an easy boat ride from Magic Kingdom, and it's neat to see a bit of the Fort Wilderness resort which is a nice respite from the parks.

Boma is the best buffet on property, IMO. Though I really want to try Trails End sometime. We also enjoy Captajn's Grille, if you are staying near Epcot resorts.

NOTE1: Results are listed from best to worst. Overall, Tusker House wins due to best food and the length of time the characters stay at each table. A close second is 1900 Park Fare. By far, Chef Mickey's is the loser, due to mediocre character interaction and almost terrible food quality. The very distant second worst is Cinderella Royal Table, for brief time at tables by characters and the new menu.

Tusker House and Boma are hands down the best on property food wise. Yes, both may seem unappealing to picky eaters, but they lots of picky eater options as well as unique offerings. The quality of food there is just so much better. I am an adventurous eater but my bestie is super super picky and even he loves those two.
