Best table service at each park and Disney Springs for teens and tweens?

[SweetieinVT]

We are traveling with two adults, two teens and two tweens, looking for recommendations for best TS for this type of a group At each park and at Disney Springs. Plus any highly recommended table service at the resorts? I would love to do the Luau, but not sure if that will reopen.

We are adults with no kids but I can tell you what our favorites are.
MK - Be Our Guest or Tony’s. We are trying the AYCTE at Liberty Tree Tavern in a few weeks.
Epcot - Coral Reef, Chefs de France, Tutto Italia, and Le Cellier. We are trying Space220 in a few weeks.
DHS - Hollywood Brown Derby and 50’s Prime Time Cafe.
AK - Rainforest Cafe.
Resorts - Boma for breakfast or dinner at AKL. Whispering Canyon Cafe at WL for breakfast. I have heard they have a great lunch and dinner.
Disney Springs - we liked The Edison our last trip but are trying The Boathouse in a few weeks.

For the most part agreed with the previous post:
MK - Be Our Guest (Honestly though I would skip it and walk over to the Contemporary and eat there. Our family loves Chef Mickeys and California Grill. We are trying Steakhouse 71 on our upcoming trip.

Epcot - Le Cellier or either of the restaurants in Italy

AK - I hear Tiffins is good but I would suggest taking a shuttle to the AK Lodge and eat at any of the table service restaurants over there. We are doing Boma on our next trip and are pretty excited

HS - Brown Derby or Mama Melrose

I hope that helps!

MK - honestly, I don't really care for any of the sit downs here, but Cinderella's Royal Table or BOG might be ones to do if you haven't done them purely for ambiance.
HS - 50's Prime Time, Sci-Fi Dine in Theatre
AK - Yak and Yeti
Epcot - Via Napoli (if your teens, tweens love pizza like mine)

My two teens love Teppan Edo and Le Cellier. We do a lot of TS in Epcot since we usually stay at YC and walk over most evenings.
They also seem to really like California Grill and being able to go out on the overlook. Or, book when you can see fireworks during dinner.
We honestly avoid Disney Springs, but there are lots of fun restaurants there. Raglan Road or Boathouse would be first picks.

You're going to get a wide variety of answers as everyone has different tastes, but here are our go-to's:

MK - Skipper Canteen is our favorite, though we are trying the Plaza next month because we want to try the new Monte Cristo sandwich (can it compare to DL's???)
EP - We love Le Cellier and Via Napoli, though just grazing through the festival booths is usually our go-to there.
HS - We rarely eat TS there because none we've tried were all that great, though we are giving Brown Derby another shot next month. It's been a long time since we ate there and recent reviews are really good.
AK - Yak and Yeti is pretty good. We are trying Tiffins for the first time next month and are really looking forward to that. But honestly, Satuli Canteen QS is fantastic - better than a lot of TS restaurants on property. Don't overlook that!

DS - Wine Bar George and Homecoming are our absolute favorites, though wa also enjoy Ragland Road and Boathouse

Resorts - Boma and Sanaa at AK (hope to try Jiko someday when it reopens), Whispering Canyon and Geyser point at WL, Il Mulino at the Swan. We also love Beaches and Cream if we are in the mood for burgers / grilled cheese, etc and of course - ice cream!!

 

[bennifer]

Here are our favorites with our boys:

MK - The Plaza, Skipper's Canteen

Epcot - Via Napoli, Teppan Edo. You really can't go wrong with any of them in WS

HS - 50s PT and Sci Fi. Honorable mention - HBD. We don't eat there often, but it's delicious.

AK - We usually do QS here. Flame Tree, Yak & Yeti, Satu'li

DS - Raglan Rd, Homecomin

Resorts - Kona, 'Ohana, Sanaa, Beaches & Cream, Grand Floridian Cafe, Topolinos

 

[ilgirl51]

We have a tween, and we've all enjoyed the Liberty Tree Tavern at MK, Rain Forest Cafe at AK, Boathouse at DS. We've also liked Olivia's Cafe (at Old Key West Resort) and the Grand Floridian Cafe. My daughter also has food allergies, so we've been to a lot of TS restaurants. She can't eat at Beaches & Cream, but for those without allergies I'd recommend that one too.

 

[rlthomas7]

I have a 13-year old son. Here are his favorites, which we all like enough to mention here.
Disney Springs - Homecomin' and, when we can't get that reservation, Rainforest Cafe
Magic Kingdom - Tony's Town Square for dinner, Plaza for lunch, Be Our Guest for breakfast (during the dining plan days)
Epcot - Via Napoli
Animal Kingdom - Tusker House, but we all prefer Boma, so try to do a Boma dinner after an AK day.
Hollywood Studios - none.
Resorts - 'Ohana and Boma

Le Cellier is #1. We had a full meal and it was exceptional both in quality and service. Steakhouse71 is a close #2. We had both breakfast and dinner.

Chef's de France is at the bottom of the list as we had a terrible (steak) meal and service. We finally got O'Hana and that was a waste of time and money and again, the steak was gross. I would opt for Kona and only order what you want.

Apparently third parties are operating a lot of restaurants at this time. We don't mind spending $300+ on a meal for four, but we do expect it to be edible.

Going with my kids that age ...

MK - Tough one .... none have an atmosphere they'd care about. I'll go with LTT and Crystal Palace for the all you can eat. BOG if they bring back breakfast or a reasonable lunch to see it.

Epcot - Biergarten, Space 220

DHS - Sci Fi Dine In, 50's Prime

AK - Yak & Yeti, Rainforest

DS - Splitsville, Edison, House of Blues, Boathouse and depending on where you are from Homecomin'. We live in the south, that is nothing new for us.
