We recently did Sunday brunch at Maria & Enzo's and really enjoyed it. We plan on going back sometime in the next few weeks to try dinner there. The menu looks very interesting.
 
Honestly, I loved Chicken Guy. I know most people are all about table service when they are planning Disney Springs, but the food there was really great for the price. Plus, we caught the Sauce Slinger, which was a huge bonus.
 

My wife and I totally love Raglan Road. To us, it is also one of the best Irish Pubs outside of Ireland.
 
Well, Raglan has and continues to be a family favorite, though this last trip, we did want to try a few new venues, there are so many. Wine Bar George, expensive but the drinks and the wine, are excellent. Though the menu is limited, we were 5 and shared the charcuterrie board, and 2 of the skirt steak platters (nice portion of tender succulent steak served medium rare, atop a copious portion of roasted potato wedges and grilled asparagus.) A really good meal, but if you go, request a table with chairs, those red stools are bad! We also tried the Polite Pig, really good BBQ. STK, was good but we only did the lounge, nice drinks, excellent tuna tartare tacos & Cheese grit croquettes. I love Rick Bayless, he's explored every aspect of Mexican cooking and Frontera Cucina's menue is so inviting, it's on my radar for our next trip!

We tried the Polite Pig on our last trip (in May) and we were not overly impressed. I still prefer Earl and Cookes of Dublin for a quick serve.
 
We did more of leaving the parks for lunch and dinner this trip than ever before and we almost always went to Disney Springs. We ate at DLuxe Burger twice, Polite Pig twice, Earl of Sandwich and Wine Bar George. Each of these meals was better than anything we had in the parks. We mentioned it to one of the baristas at Starbucks when he made our after lunch Fraps for the fourth day in a row and he said that tourists eat at Disney Parks but locals eat at Disney Springs. We were on the DDP and some of the QS restaurants are excellent values on the DDP. We were getting meals from Polite Pig that were $35 to $40 each with alcohol which is a great QS value. We came out almost $400 ahead on the regular DDP this time for 2 adults and a child and we are convinced that the great values at DS were a good part of it. One other thing about Polite Pig is that they let you go from a 16 to 22 oz beer on the DDP for an additional $1.50. Six ounces of craft beer at Disney for $1.50 is a no brainer.

We have been to Morimoto Asia about 4 times over the last two years on our recent trips. We have never been disappointed! Love it! There are lots of Disney restaurants that I dont ever care to go back to but this one is a place I hope to go to every time!!

And i have wonderful things about Boathouse but we have not made it over there yet. My sister in law loves to go all the best restaurant and she raves over Boathouse....
 
Sunday Dinner at Enzo’# Hideaway was a superb meal for the $45 price. The pizza in Pizza Ponte was fantastic as was their sandwiches and desserts. As stated above the Chicken Guy was actually pretty good, much better than expected.
 
Kind of sort of related to this thread.... does anyone know how ddp (deluxe in June 2019) works at morimoto? Not sure what/how you order using a credit off their menu. Thank you!
 
I've enjoyed Homecomin' every time I've gone (4). Wine Bar George was fantastic, even with a newborn in a stroller alongside our table. Enzo's Hideaway Tunnel Bar's bar was great. Only sat at the bar here but bartender was great, atmosphere was similar to The Edison in that you are blocked off from everything else at Disney Springs.
 
We just ate at The Edison and it was wonderful. We were a party of 10 and everyone loved their meal. For appetizers we had the Clothesline Candied Bacon and the Electri-Fries. The Bacon was very good but the Fries were delicious. Some of the entrees we had were the Burger, the grilled cheese and tomato soup, The salmon and the pulled pork sandwich. The salmon was good but the portion was small and no sides with it except some tomatoes. We were a walk up in the middle of August and they fit us in which was wonderful - it was very crowded.
 
Out of the places we have tried-

Earl's - meh
Wolfgang Puck Express - love
DLuxe - - love
Chicken Guy - surprised how much we liked this one.
Cooke's - meh

Raglan - one and done
Morimoto - good
Frontera - awesome!
