Sandwich of Earl for something fast and casual. This is a regular stop for us. A good, quality sandwich, chips and a side. NEVER have been disappointed.
Bongos for a table service meal. If you aren't sure you'll like Cuban foo, try it - it's the best. If you sit outside, I bet you are served by Dany. He'll help you through the menu.
Bongo's Cuban sandwich is nice for lunch, either indoors or at the walkup.
The only thing we like about Raglan Road is the appetizers. The entrees are not consistently well prepared. DO NOT order the fish and chips from the restaurant. Go to the counter service (Cooke's of Dublin) and order it from there. You'll have to hope for a seat (and it will most certainly be outdoors) but the difference in quality is monumental.
We don't care for the Rainforest/T Rex chains, so we only go there when our guests insist.
Portobello can be nice... Fulton's is worth a miss...
We had the fish & chips at Raglan Road last week and thought it was outstanding. It was lunchtime, the restaurant was cool and quiet. We are actually putting that on our regular to-do list.
We do not patronize any, but if you must, in order:
. . . Portobello (best there, but still just above average)
. . . House of Blues (good, dependable comfort food)
. . . RFC & T-Rex (expensive, but above average)
. . . Bongos (good Cuban dishes)
. . . Paradiso (they try, but fall woefully short)
. . . Planet Hollywood (too loud, and less than average food)
. . . Fulton's (expensive and underwhelming)
We love, love, love House of Blues. We make a point to go to Downtown just so we can eat there. We have never had a meal short of fantastic there, and as Disney restaurants go, the prices are pretty reasonabe.
We are doing Raglan Road again in Sept because we enjoyed it so much last year for lunch.
We were also impressed w/ Portobella's. Not over the top WOW THIS IS FANTASTIC, but it was a tasty lunch.
We feel Fulton's is good too, just so overpriced... what isn't at Disney? Still enjoyed the meal and they gave us a free dessert for our anniversary...
If you could point out other restaurants on WDW property that you do like it might be easier to guide you a DTD restaurant. Our taste is for Wolfgang Puck Cafe and House of Blues.
