I've searched the boards and am only coming up with old threads about this question. Which restaurants either in parks or the resorts are big hits with teens and a tween? All are boys, by the way. We're only interested in lunch/dinner options as breakfast will be off-site.
And, is there a list somewhere of which places are buffets?
I asked my son (14) which restaurants he loved the most and here's what he came up with..
Coral Reef: First because of being able to see all the fish but also because he's a big fan of the food here.
'Ohana: All he can eat meat, need I say more?

He also loves the setting and enjoys the overall meal.
Biergarten: My son loves the food and the atmosphere here. He enjoys listening to the band play as well. This is a buffet, btw.
Boma: My son is a rather adventurous eater. He will try pretty much anything once. I don't think I've seen my son eat as much as he did here. Another buffet.
Whispering Canyon: We did this for my son's birthday a few years back and he still talks about it. He loves the food and the restaurant is a lot of fun. We are doing WCC as our arrival meal here in a few weeks at our son's insistence. Milkshakes and smoothies are free refills here, too!
As far as character meals, my son loves them all. He hasn't grown up when it comes to them. He still enjoys getting autographs and having his picture taken with each and every character he can. He's looking forward to being able to introduce his little sister to all the characters.

I believe we have five character meals lined up for our trip, so both of them should have a good time.
