Epcot Area Lunch Suggestions (no ADR)

[starryagain]

We are arriving at Beach Club early on Saturday (4 days from now). We are going to MK in the evening (have FP+ there) but have annual passes so we could go to Epcot for lunch, or anywhere nearby.

Where would you go? Flower and Garden booths? Crew's Cup Lounge at Yacht Club (saw recent good reviews)? Walk up at Nine Dragons? We are open to counter service but prefer to eat inside. We've gone to Tangierine Cafe before and liked it but would rather try something new.

No kids for lunch, just a 30-something couple.

We don't have any ADR and would prefer not to make one for flexibility.

Nine Dragons is usually a walk in but in that area we like the ESPN Club on the Board Walk. Good Pub Grub and sports of all sorts on multiple TVs. We like to sit at the bar itself but there are booths and tall tables available.

You can always check to see what's available online when you arrive to the park that day, a lot of times, reservations do show up or just head to the restaurant you would like to dine at earlier in the day and inquire what times they may have availability.

Otherwise most of the time when I check to see what's available the morning I usually see (more often than not) ADRs available at Nine Dragons, Biergarten, Restaurant Marrakesh and sometimes Tokyo Dining (which means they will more than likely have "walk-up" availability)-but there will definitely be a lot to choose from at the F&G Fest. kitchens.

We plan to be there Sat. as well and although we have a lunch ADRs for Tutto Italia we also plan to visit some of the F&G Fest booths. We figure if we fill up on that we can just do an app at Tutto But, will definitely appreciate a place to take in some A/C since it's supposed to be in the 90s (with 100 degree indexes this weekend)...

If you would like take look at some of the photos from the F&G Fest Kitchens - I posted most of the menu signs but it will give you an idea of the offerings-

We love Spice Road Table and have never had a problem doing a walk-up there! Atmosphere is lovely, food is great and the staff are so nice. It's also not that far of a walk from BC!

Flower and Garden booths!

We really like Crew's Cup (that would be my vote - then get a treat at Flower and Garden later) - we had the shrimp tacos and burger with great fries...lobster roll gets great reviews Flower and Garden has some good choices - we liked the Northern Bloom and Urban Kitchen --also there was a good German potato and ham choice. We also enjoy the QS at Japan..you can eat inside.

Thanks so much for all the ideas! I will look at the Flower and Garden reviews listed above tonight

I'm leaning towards a meal at Crew's Cup then dessert at Flower and Garden but I am loving not having so many ADRs this trip! The last two times we had a ton and it really restricted us.

I've always been able to get same day Via Napoli ADRs for lunch, sometimes within the hour. I know they allow walk ins too. I love eating there

Crew's Cup is good. We had luck last adults only trip getting a lunch at Chefs de France without ADR, which we really enjoyed.

You can usually get same day ADR's at many restaurants. Wing it and see what's available and F&G booths are always a good choice!
