Downtown Disney for lunch

[mrawson]

We are a party of 11 that is going in October. We plan to spend a day at Downtown Disney and would like a suggestion for lunch. We had our family meeting and the consensus was to make a reservation at Cap'n Jacks but I am having second thought after reading several reviews posted here. Also, we are on the Dining plan so a table service restauraunt would be preferable. I look forward to hearing some good/bad/indifferent reviews of what DT Disney has to offer. Many thanks in advance.

We really like Wolfgang Pucks. I can't wait to get their Spinach & Artichoke Dip. Some of our favorites are the Crusted Chicken and Pumpkin Ravioli. Creme Bruelle is the best.

I am also a fan of Wolfgang Pucks - the cafe has a great, lively atmosphere and the food has always been excellent. Plenty of variety to suit a large group of people, including good kid's meals. I've also had good experiences at Raglan Road. Wouldn't do Planet Hollywood or Rainforest because those are chain restaurants and I've never had great meals at either.

I TOO had this same dilema! I'm fortunate to KNOW people who live outside of Orlando and go to DW alot!! They said DTD really doesn't have a great selection of places to eat. However....right across the way, within walking distance, is The Turf Club at SSR! I've seen GREAT reviews and looked online, very impressive. We've got an ADR for our last night there!

Another vote for Wolfgang Puck - great food

Okay - One more question in relation to Wolfgang Puck's - I notice on the list of participating restauraunts that there is a Wolfgang Puck's Express and Cafe - Is the cafe the one everyone here is talking about? It is table service and the Express is quick service. Any word?

Yes, definitely the Cafe, although Wolfgang Puck Express is great too (the Marketplace one) if you wanted Counter Service

 

[natalielongstaff]

yes its the cafe you want

Either Raglan Road and Wolgang Puck's. We've done RR many times and will be trying WPC for the first time this year. We ate at Wolfgang Puck Express twice last year and it was very good (CS). I've made a ADR for both RR and WPC this year.

Happy Dining!

Big vote for Raglan Road; but the menu at T-Rex looks awesome. Cannot wait to try it this year.

The only place I can think of in Downtown Disney that would be great for lunch and accepts the Disney Dining Plan is Earl of Sandwich, however they are considered a counter service location.
