Lunch/Dinner Buffet
TS
First the mini-review:
AWESOME!!! The theming is great! The decor is one of Disney's best for a buffet! NOTE: You DO have a waiter at Disney Buffets, and therefore there will be a tip!!! Our server was very good at his job. He told us all kinds of things about which items were best, he went into the historic and ethnic info behind many of the foods, he recommended things according to a few minor questions about your eating habits and so on. I got the feeling we were being treated to a waiter of a special breed than most. It wasn't just a "walk up and grab a plate" like at our local buffets and most of the other buffets we have had in our lives and at Disney. So he did earn his tip. He even gave us the ingredients of a few of the items. He knew his stuff.
I'm one of those people who has to try a tiny sample of every item on the buffet... So if you look hard enough... most of it is on these plates somewhere!!!
(A must do!)
Various Buffet Food pictures: (Yes we piled our plates!!!
)
It all goes to the same place, so who cares how it looks??? At least that's my son's philosophy in the horrific looking plate that follows!!!

All of these are from our Sept. trip. If it's possible to believe, I FINALLY got everything uploaded!
Breakfast at the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian
Our Lilikoi juice and what's left over after two full mugs are poured from the pressed pot of Kona coffee. Both were excellent!
Tonga Toast with bacon.
And a shot of the deliciousness inside the TT.
Strawberry Compote served with the TT. It was unbelievably good. I'd love to have this with all my french toast, pancakes and waffles!
Lunch at the ABC Commissary at DHS
Cheeseburger meal with fries and fresh fruit for dessert. The fruit surprised me - it was so fresh!
Dinner at the 50's Prime Time Cafe at DHS
The chocolate milkshake I had as my "beverage". It was soooo nommy and could've been a meal in itself!
Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken - with corn substituted for the Southern greens
Mom's Old Fashioned Pot Roast
S'mores - we both had this for our dessert and it was great but not easy to eat with a fork.
Me with our server, Cousin Byron. He was AWESOME!!!
Tambu Lounge at the Polynesian
LapuLapu - soooooo good!
All gone!
Breakfast at Capt. Cooks at the Polynesian

Dole Whip Float - my favorite snack in the World!
Dinner at Le Cellier in the Canada pavilion at Epcot

Cup of cheddar cheese soup.
Salt Crusted Prime Rib
Le Cellier Mushroom Filet Mignon - heavenly! The meat was fork tender.
Maple Creme Brulee - my first time tasting creme brulee and it won't be the last!
Chocolate on Chocolate Whiskey Cake
Snack from Casey's Corner on Main St. USA at the MK
Casey's Hot Dog - none of the trimmings. I'm not a big hot dog fan but this was good!
Main Street Confectionary on Main St. USA at the MK
Sweets for the sweet!

I hope I haven't submitted these yet... But if I have these are so yummy I don't think anyone would mind!

Lots of reviews of this place here. What can I say, they all pretty much agree it's one of the best restaurants on Disney property. If you like the Pho you should consider trying your local Vietnamese restaurant. We had some Pho recently in Greensboro NC that was amazing.
ON WITH THE PICTURES!
First some restaurant photos:
Some decor and a possessed looking child...
Why did I take this picture??? Probably at the request of the children. They are weird like that.
Turn your head sideways.
Interior from our seat:
Cool tables!
Now for the food:
Kid's Plate: (My ONLY complaint; They could do better on that.) $7.49 for Ages 9 and Under
Add a Kid-sized portion of milk or apple juice in a souvenier cup.
All items served with choice of carrot sticks, applesauce cup, fruit punch gelatin or chicken fried rice. These were the chicken bites.
Adult plates pictures:
Shaoxing Steak and Shrimp - skirt steak, tempura-battered shrimp, jasmine rice, stir-fried vegetables, chili plum dipping sauce $24.99
Baby Back Ribs - slow-roasted ribs, hoisin BBQ sauce, chicken fried rice, sweet chili slaw $23.99
This is PHO!!! My "love at first taste" meal! I threw EVERYTHING in the side plates into mine!!! Ohhhhh those fresh Jalapenos!!!! I needed a hot fix!!! It's hard to find spicy food at Disney. This was the masterpiece of this trip!
You don't see this much here on this forum, because everyone wants steak and chocolate, but I'd take this over a steak ANY DAY! I've been saying it for years: EVEN ON FREE DINING some of the best food in Disney is the cheaper priced food! This is just another example. One more reason why it's not always wise to soak the FDDP for all you can. (And yes... I did my first FDDP trip like that too!!!)
Pho - Lemon grass scented broth, poached shrimp, rice noodles, traditional Vietnamese garnishes $17.99
This picture is presentation: before mixing.
After mixed: (making my mouth water...) WHERE'S THAT DROOLING SMILEY???
This was my son's plate. It took me about 2 minutes to get the pictures, which is also how long it took him to clean up those ribs!
Dessert (amazing)
Kid's dessert ice cream.
Mango Pie - shortbread cookie crust, fresh whipped cream, raspberry sauce $6.99
And ONE MORE dessert: (same as first but better picture)

Bacon cheeseburger. I shared with my husband.
A very yummy milkshake.
Snack from MGM. I did not like this at all. It was a texture thing. So, I ate all the chocolate,& peanuts, and trashed the healthy part.

Sorry! I don't have a photo of the Simba Paw. They only sold them at Animal Kingdom but they discontinued them a year or so ago.
It was an ice cream bar made with the hard chocolate (like the Mickey Mouse bars) Then vanilla ice cream with a chocolate ice cream paw print in the middle. It was circular and on a stick. I guess nothing too special when you compare it to others but better than the chocolate banana I assure you.
This pic is from May/June 2003. One of DS's favorite treats!

This is the Celebration fudge for 2009. It really was not too good and I ended up throwing about half of it away.
