Frontera Cocina is not worth it.
Did not make it to Jiko. We needed to rest.
Crystal Palace was worth it. I would do it again.

We ate at City Works for the first time and were pleasantly surprised. It was great especially if your a beer drinker and was able to get a reservation same day on OpenTable.

Homecoming was a no go for us ONLY because we live in the south and the food they serve is the same thing we do here, but ours is better.

Raglan Road is good because it's different from what you eat at home every day, and, the entertainment aspect is fun. They also have some good beers.

We like Polite Pig. Near us, BBQ is disgusting mushy shredded meat on a hamburger bun. Love their Brussels sprouts, chicken, smoked turkey and brisket.

Boathouse is ok, but, once again, we live near and go to the ocean. We can get better fish, shellfish, where we live.

**Exception to the rule** Boathouse bar out on the dock is THE place to be. Have some drinks and sliders

Morimoto is another great place if you don't have one near you. PanAsian, not chinese.

I've been to Frontera Cocina a couple times and like it. Love the enchiladas and they have fried plantains, so they win. Nice atmosphere too.

If all the restaurants are full go to Rainforest Cafe and sit at the bar and have a burger.

We will be going to Disney next year and always enjoy Disney Springs but find ourselves going to the same restaurants. Are there any underrated or new restaurants that we should try?

Hard to say since you don't state where you have eaten before. That said....

Morimoto Asia
Homecomin'
Frontera Cocina
The Boathouse

All are excellent.

On the casual side, The Polite Pig, Chicken Guy and D-Luxe Burger are worth a try.

The most underrated restaurant at Disney is at DS IMO. Give the chicken fingers or fish a try at Cookes of Dublin. The indoor seating is limited but it's the one place I've made sure to visit every trip since I discovered it over 10 years ago.

I was debating Boathouse which I have reserved and Wine Bar George which has been on my list for a last few visits but haven't tried yet. Haven't been to either actually. 4/6 of us aren't seafood people but we are originally from the east coast and I think the 2 seafood eaters would like it. Idk. This is for our arrival meal and probably the only time we will get to DS during this trip. Stay with Boathouse or go with Wine Bar George?

Crystal Palace was worth it. I would do it again.

I was quite surprised that Frontera was not worrh it! It sounded amazing. Just wasnt!

City Works

If your into any Craft Beer, this place is amazing, like a Yardhouse on steroids, fairly reasonable priced food and large portions. We had great service on Multiple visits.

 

[Jennasis]

Homecomin is our favorite there.

 

[stichingfordisney]

Seems like I've been missing out at Disney Springs! Definetly have to plan for dinner there for our next trip. 🍽

 

[LowesChevy]

Homecomin’
Boathouse
These two are probably two of the best on property in for and service experience

Splitsville has a vast menu more in line with a typical sports bar or pub grub spot. Really great choice for sharing plates and change from the Disney owned restaurant menus.

 

[DaisyNY]

Boathouse and Homecomin'... both so good we tend to visit every trip!

 

[jstaff]

Chicken Guy, Raglan Road, and Wine Bar George (supposed to be good never have been)

 

[amusa]

Don't get me wrong the atmosphere was good. I was limited on what to order on the Menu. I think I order the Oaxacan Red Mole Chicken that the server recommend (I don't eat Pork or seafood). The sauce that was on the Oaxacan Red Mole Chicken was way overpower. I could not eat it.

Boathouse

I see it’s been a while since anyone posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone has tried Summer House on the Lake yet? It’s newer at Disney Springs and I’ve heard good things about the vibe and food. I'm planning a family trip and would love to hear if it’s worth a try or if you'd still stick with an old favorite like Homecomin’ or Boathouse.

Haven’t tried it yet but it gets a lot of love on Yelp.

We were very excited to try it in March and ended up extremely disappointed. We'll likely give it another try in the future, but we were seated almost 45 minutes late after our ADR, our server was very disinterested, the food was slow and not as good as we hoped, and it was just so incredibly loud inside - we could hardly have a conversation. It was obviously a busy night when we were in, which is why we'll try again in a couple years. But I know we'll be sticking to our DS favorites our next trip.
