FLOWER & GARDEN BOOTHS


We get it every time, always is great. I Think the beef was even better this time.



chips were good and dips were plentiful and needs more chips.
Spuds are cheap, whats a few more Disney.



very good, was impressed.

We had it a few years ago and loved it. This time to me it tasted like
cough medicine.



Loved both, but the flan was the surprise,
much better than we were expecting. Great texture and flavors.


The muff was good, never had one before. Loved the gumbo and it was a very good spice.
Disney usually states spicy and never is, this time it is. In a good way. Finally.

FLOWER & GARDEN BOOTHS (continued)



We liked it more than expected. The flavors all worked with the chocolate.



It was a good combo. chicken was well flavored.



Another must get, Still great flavored, but not served to hot, barely warm.



Beef was good, but for some freaky reason the rice was stupendously scrumptious. I need a vat of that.
I don't even eat rice, but loved it so.
Cubanito was okay. Bread was not buttery and meats dried. Skip it.

EVERGLAZED


since the tenders are new since last trip we
heard they were good. HA. nothing special and a huge ripoff
I donut and 1 tender should not be $9. Go F yourselves.

speaking of ripoff, $7 for a very mediocre donut is criminal.
This was our last time for good. We had it in the past and
feel like it so not worth it. Plus being from Philly we have so many
amazing donuts near for $2- $3 each and not needed on vacation.
So long sucker.......

EARL OF SANDWICH (2 visits)



sandwiches here have gotten very stingy over that past few visits.
The BOGO helps but still felt violated.
The salads on the other hand are great and I feel worth it.

both very good. They should change the name to "Earl of Salads".

 

[ThreeBoyMama]

Your F&G food all looked really good!

COSMIC RAY'S

If your in the mood to reminisce about that scumbag of a burger that you had when you were locked
up in the pokey, this is the place for you!
A high school cafeteria would serve a better burger than this crap.
I Swear years ago this used to be much better, but not much.
This is no longer a viable option for us. No more, ever again. Go bang yourself Mr Ray.
The additional parmesan garlic added to the fries was not worth the $2. It's still crappy fries nothing's
really saving that. Skip this one and go eat out of the garbage can instead.

COOKE OF DUBLIN

Kids meal time! NO, not eating kids, we're eating a meal made
for kids, just a clarification in case anybody is confused.
I think for the price, portion and quality it's very good.

The fish here is beyond exceptional, it's a very good portion size.
The fries are excellent and the kids burger was much better than anticipated.

Would get these again in a heartbeat. Last time we tried the kids chicken fingers
(no, not the fingers of a chicken, DUH. They have no fingers, go figure. Why call them fingers....)
and those were very good, I would get those again next time in lieu of the burger.
Or all three.

BOATHOUSE (Lunch)
Every single trip we always have to eat here twice and this is no exception.
The burgers here I always tout as the best burger anywhere on property bar none.
If you disagree with me you're wrong.


check out that spread....



You can see my wife enjoying the buns, because if you're not enjoying
the buns here you're not enjoying life. I love the buns but
I love hers more...


We always get the chopped salad, but today we changed it up since
we never had the Caesar and of course you have to add shrimp
because Shrimp. Wow what a great salad.


Wife's burger

My burger

So me and the wife each got her own burger, but she decided to get the red potatoes since we've had them in the past and they were very good. Of course the fries here are also as exceptional as the burger also the best on property.
I dare you to find a better burger.


We also never tried the key lime pie and that's fairly new.
My wife loves key lime, I'm not a big fan but I'm going to try it anyway.
I was blown away how much I liked it, of course my wife loved it.
The cake was enormous, well worth the price, as is everything that you get here.
You can never beat the ambiance or service.
This is why it is our favorite restaurant in Disney World.

BOATHOUSE (Brunch)

It's not a Disney trip unless we have meals with our great friends Todd & Michele from
TRAVELING AROUND DISNEY on Youtube. Such wonderful people and fun friends.


Dessert menu

These are even better version than the lunch / dinner rolls.
Look at the glazy goop adorning the top, plus the sweet sultry butter.


My steak & eggs. EGGcellent. Plenty of grub for walking around in the sweltering sun all day.


Wife got another burger because how great they are. Yes she shared a nibble for me.
Also ate her pickle. She loves me.



All 4 of us shared this chocolate monster, and had plenty of leftovers for the room.


not so hidden Mickey. He just wants him money....

BIERGARTEN

Here is another restaurant we have taken off the agenda many time in the past.
For what ever reason other than we thought it would be blah.
This time we made it finally happen after watching
Todd & Michele from TRAVELING AROUND DISNEY video not long ago.
Glad we did give in. Holy crap, we LOVED IT. So much great food, heavy and
wonderful setting. Will are now putting this on the regular.















Wir sehen uns bald!

BEACHES & CREAM


Ain't NO WAY it's a trip without getting the Jose. Vanilla & Cookie Cream icecream.
Love it!

 

[IDSkinner]

BACKLOT EXPRESS




Finally being here on May 4th, how can you not get a Star Wars treat, am I right.
I thought this was excellent. The macaroon was very good, I love the abundance of coconut even the white chocolate
AT-AT was better than expected. Plus I thought this was a pretty good value. May the 4th be with you.


Another bonus cupcake. One of the awesome cast members saw my wife's
birthday button and gave her a sweet treat.

ARTIST PALETTE ( MANY VISITS )


A very good, hefty, fresh salad always hits the spot amongst tons of junk food.


That's right another salad, plus you got to have some pizza to wash the salad down with.
The Korean meatballs were a new special so we had to try it out they were actually very good quite refreshing slaw mix underneath.


The French toast Strata always hits the spot just wish it was a little bit bigger.


The fantastic cast member seen my wife's birthday button from afar
and came booking over to hand her this cupcake.
He also did this another day as well.
I just didn't get a picture, the guy was on the point. very nice of him.


I'm glad they change the beef on weck, To the brisket sandwich it was excellent much better than anticipated.
Pizza here is always freshly made and quite tasty. Love the tomato soup, even if it's hot as hell out got to have it.

The hot Italian panini is a new item. We decided to take a chance, being from Philly and having great sandwiches
we weren't expecting much. But wow we were impressed. We ended up getting this twice because of how good it was.
And even more shockingly my wife who doesn't usually care for sandwiches in general, loved this so much.
I think she awakened a new sandwich fetish....


Yes French toast strata again because of its deliciousness.
But what is not delicious is those vile things they call eggs. They got to do better than that.
The hash Browns bacon sausage and waffle are very good though.


This pizza came out seemingly the best out of the ones that we ordered this trip but they were all good.
Chicken fingers are a skip, too much breading and not juicy or tender chicken inside.
And yes another panini and more soup.

We always adore most of the food here and so glad there's a decent variety.
Plus the kitchen staff always seems to give a crap which is great.

ANNUAL PASSHOLDER LOUNGE MOROCCO


We finally got to check out the Passholder lounge.
They also served Moroccan tea which my wife liked, I do not.
They also had some nice free snacks and ice water.
Plus you got to enjoy the air conditioning since Epcot is hotter than the sun.

EPCOT should stand for : Every Person Cremates Outside Temperatures

ALE & COMPASS


We really enjoyed the wedge salad, Very good dressing and I like the chunky pieces of bacon.


The strip steak was OK but last trip it was so much better,
The potatoes were good.


They listed this as a flat iron steak but it's absolutely more like short ribs.
Very tender excellent flavor the only problem with this when the server put it down,
I said is this an appetizer? She's like no why I said look at the size of this and she asked
if I wanted something else. I told her it's fine we ate it but we did enjoy it.
This was a big downturn for us because we would not eat here again after this.
So many other better places that we enjoy that seem you get a better value.
