boma dinner question

[kha100399]

I need some guidance

I am a very plain eater, but my husband likes almost anything, I want to make sure we go to some places that have different things as we stick more to my tastes at home.

Will there be anything that I would like here?
can someone point me to photos of their dinner or post some?

thanks!

The plain eaters we have taken here do not enjoy it. We love it and it's always the first meal of every vacation for us but we've taken several people who only found things at the kids' section that they liked.

Most of the food here has some "interesting" spices on it. So it may look plain but it won't taste plain.

They ahve chicken nuggetts and french fries if you don't like anything on the buffet

If you like Prime Rib, it is on the menu every night. It is also some of the best Prime Rib that I ever had.

Not true anymore.

they have some really great desserts that are not out there flavor wise. I could probably make a meal of zebra domes. I would go for your DH and plan to have a garden salad, fruit and dessert. If you have a sweet tooth you will still get your money's worth. But take a look at the other stuff and get a tasting plate of some things you have never tried before. Even if you only take a nibble of a few new things you won't be any worse off. Boma chefs are the nicest and most knowledgable on property. There are always people to answer your questions. And I have even heard of them making you a plate of plain rice and chicken if you really can't find anything. My BFF just went to the world for the first time and even though Boma is probably my favorite restaurant I did not recommend it to her family. They are a whole family of plain burger, hotdog, grilled chicken eaters. Ravioli is exotic food to them. But if it is just one plain eater I would say do it.

We have shy eaters in my family - not willing to try anything new. All 6 on our last trip loved this place! There's a full review in my TR. I would definately do Boma again

I'm a plain eater and I really enjoyed their carved meats & salads and I even ventured out and tried a few new things like boboti and I LOVED it! It's definitely worth a try.
