Best WDW restaurant to take teens

My 15 year old son always requests dinner at Boma, Biergarten, Be Our Guest, and Chef Mickey's. He also loves getting a hot dog at Casey's.
 

It depends on what they like to eat. DD14 likes tea at the Grand Floridian, Homecomin', and Jiko.
 
Boys or girls or both?

Given my experience with pre-teen boys, buffets, buffets, buffets, lol (and I know it will only get worse as they enter their teens). The Wave has a very well priced breakfast buffet that gets really excellent reviews (we have an ADR coming up this August...first time, and I'm excited). Otherwise, Biergarten, Crystal Palace if they're ok with characters, Tusker House even if they're not ok with them, and an all you can eat place like 'Ohana, Liberty Tree Tavern, or Garden Grill. Other options that appeal to my pre-teen sons are 50s Prime Time, Sci Fi, Yak and Yeti, and Tokyo Dining (they love their sushi). Eating QS around the WS at Epcot is fun too.

When my nieces were teenagers, they enjoyed both the French Pavilion QS and Chefs de France in Epcot, Via Napoli in Epcot, just about anywhere at AKL but especially Jiko, Tusker House in AK, both 50s and Sci Fi in DHS, and Crystal Palace in MK. They were in college when BOG in MK opened, and we have our first res there coming up in August...they're thrilled.

Every teen is different. While my son didnt care for Biergarten or 50's for example, he loved SciFi, Via Napoli, Teppan Edo, and Cali Grill. There are some great suggestions on here. I'd point these out to your teens and maybe get them to help decide? Good luck! :)
 
I'd think any of the buffets would be great... Trails End, 1900 Park Fare.
1900 is great for dinner especially with the character interaction - I'd think anyone would appreciate that, it's always a great laugh with Lady Tremaine & her daughters :)
 
Oh - and Splitsville at Disney Springs would be a blast for them!!!
 
My teen boys who love to eat request - Biergarten, Nine Dragons, Yak and Yeti, Trails End for Dinner, Whispering Canyon, Ohana (breakfast and dinner) Tusker House breakfast, and Cape May breakfast.
My teen daughter who doesn't eat like her brothers, liked the food and atmosphere at BOG, CRT, Ohana, Yak and Yeti, 50s Prime Time, and Liberty Tree.
 
DD 17 likes straightforward food -- she loves Raglan Road and Rose and Crown. One has live entertainment and the other has fireworks.
 
Get the Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream! Great selfie opportunities.
 
Our teens love Boma, Sanaa, Ohana, Garden Grill, Via Napoli, and Beaches and Cream. They also love Hoop Dee Doo.
 
Kind of depends on the teen. I'm a somewhat picky eater, and I like character meals, and i'm a huge nerd. So I enjoy Sci-Fi, Crystal Palace, Homecomin', and T-Rex.
 
Pecos Bill's, 'Ohana, Crystal Palace, Teppan Edo, Beaches and Cream, Via Napoli, Yak and Yeti, Yorkshire County Fish Shop UK, La Cantina de San Angel (CS), Les Halles, Tangerine Cafe

My kids always like to eat around WS at the CS places. They'll get a meal and share it so they can go to a lot of places.
 
BOG, Kona and Via Napoli have been our recent favorites. We will be trying breakfast at the Crystal Palace this November and I'm curious what others think of the experience there.
