I have a 8 year old and 5 year old who are sometimes picky eaters. Will Boma still be a good choice? We are dying to try it.
 
The children's station has all the basics, chicken nuggets, pizza and pasta with sauce, so if they eat that you may be safe.

I would warn though, while Boma has good food, it isn't for everyone.

We did NOT like it. Nothing wrong with the foods, the service was fine...it is the spices. I had thought since everyone said it was spicey that it was "hot, pepper" type spices.

NOPE, the spices they use are sweet in nature. Cinnamon, vanillas, fruit flavors in everything. And I do mean everything.
The meats were rubbed with cinnamon, the potatoes, the veggies all had an overwhelming sweet flavor. Even the soups were sweet. DH and I felt like we were having a holiday dessert for dinner.
By the time we got to the desserts we didn't want any, way to much sweetness.

The tastes just weren't for us. Later that night we had to grab CS and split it. Such a waste of a TS for us.
 

Hi gvandalay,

We would say go for the flavors from Africa, that is unless you really, really don't like spicy foods.

We love the selection Boma's has to offer and it's not unusual for us to try all of the four soups, with the coconut curried chicken being our favorite.

We like sampling (small portions, until we get to the prime rib) as many of the dishes as we can and we've never come away disappointed.

As for the selection for the children, well try to get them to sample some of the spicy foods, you may find they like it as they can be sweet in taste. And if they don't then there's the children's counter with pasta, chicken fingers and french fries.

Whatever anyone else writes, whether it for or against Boma's, you'll never really know if it's for you and your family until you try it for yourselves, so be adventurous and enjoy the food and the experience.
 
Even with picky eaters, I'd say go for it. My experience with three kids (10, 7 and 7), and this time with my PARENTS (my Mom's the "I don't like it even if I've never tried it" crew), is that since it's a buffet, and IMO by far the best buffet at WDW that I've tried, is that since it's a buffet, try creating a sample plate for them, a scoop of everything, and see what they like. If they are hungry they will eat. Who knows, they may find something new that they like.

I have yet to see a line of "picky eaters" starving to death at any WDW restaurant.
