We ate dinner at BB last week. We knew it would be expensive (over $200 for 5 people) but thought it was worth it for one meal splurge at DL. I thought the food was good (not the best I've ever eaten but certainly not the worst). The dinner salad was delicious and very large. I also tasted the Gumbo and it was good but never having eaten it before, I have no idea what good Gumbo should taste like. I ordered the surf and turf and was unable to finish the entire meal--the serving size was very large.
We were a party of 9 and had excellent wait staff and good service throughout the meal. Since we had over 8 guests, the tip was automatically included and I was fine with that since the service was good.
The ambiance is the reason to eat there and we had fun eating in the restaurant and then riding POTC after dinner and looking for our table. We had a German exchange student with us and she was surprised when we told her we'd be eating dinner inside one of the rides. She really enjoyed it.
I will say that splurging on BB made us reluctant to splurge on the Celebration Backyard BBQ the next night so we skipped that. Instead, we ate at the Cheesecake factory at the GardenWalk for less than half the cost of BB (under $100 for 5 of us) and ended up with twice as much food which was just as good as the BB food. Oh, and the Cheesecake Factory service was every bit as good as the BB service.
So . . . I think BB is worth doing once but don't have high expectations for the food (I was starving by the time we ate--our reservations were for 7:20 p.m.) and I'm no food critic so I thought it was fine. The posts on these Boards also made me keep my expectations low so I wasn't disappointed in the experience. I also expected the high cost so I wasn't shocked when the bill arrived.

. There were nine of us and we all enjoyed our meal and none of us had room left for cheesecake by the end of the meal.
and thanks for that ...
