ESPN at Boardwalk...

[DjdBrit]

What can you tell me about ESPN zone at the Boardwalk. I am thinking of going here next year any info would be really useful.

They don't take reservations, and it can be hard to get in if a major sporting event is going on.

BTW this is an ESPN Club, not an ESPN Zone. It's smaller than the Zones are/were and doesn't have the games or video arcade.

There is an attached arcade, though. A pretty nice one, too.

As for as the food goes I feel its just about the same as any bar food..nachos,wings,burgers....

It's your basic, usual chain food. Not good, but not bad.

Agree with the other posters-the food is typical sports bar/grill food, good not great. It is cool to eat here if you are a sports fan. DH and I go here if we attend ESPN the Weekend-which is alot of fun for sports junkies.

This used to be a fav of ours, a place we always made sure to eat at, but this last trip (feb 2010) the food was not good and I got sick after eating there... let's just say that kind of being sick is not fun at pm. emh Hollywood studios

We had a much better meal at Big River Grille later that week.

If you go, make sure you visit the bathroom.

There are televisions in every stall! When we stay at the Boardwalk, my son would have me walk him to ESPN just so he could use the bathroom. I guess its a young boy's dream john!!! (Probably a sports nuts dream john too!)

The food there is pretty darned big. It would be easy to split a meal.

Terrible food. I tried it several times over the years and it was always bad. I finally gave up and it is now the only in all of WDW that I have vowed never to return to.

It's your typical sports lounge, food is OK. Again your typical sports lounge food. It can be very loud at times.

We've been twice. Really nice food but GREAT chicken wings!! Awesome!!! A bit loud but a lot of fun!

Here is a great example of that. A few years ago my family and I planned on going there, however when we arrived there was one huge line to get in. Well after asking what sporting event was going on we were told it was the NCAA BCS National Championship game that night. So we obviously didn't get to go eat there and if we knew that game was taking place on that night, we would have never even went to the Boardwalk that evening.

We like to eat there. The food is sort of typical sports bar type stuff, but we have always enjoyed it. It can get a bit loud on big game nights. You dont need a ressie, and if the restaurant side is crowded, you can scout out a table on the bar side.

We have been there twice and enjoyed the food. DD and I split an order both times.

The food was great when the place first opened. We went there a couple of months in - I had a tuna salad on pita bread sandwich that I still remember as being one of the top three meals I've ever had at WDW. A couple of years later, I had the same thing and it wasn't nearly as good...I think the veggies weren't nearly as fresh, the fish portion not nearly as large. You know the drill. Overall, two stars out of four for the food, three-plus stars for the sports atmosphere. You have to see the TV monitors in the bathrooms!

Is it on the DDP?

Yes it is

My teenagers love it here! It is on the dining plan but is not your best value on the dining plan. If we have a day we need to buy a meal we will do it here.

This is really where my DS and DH want to go...they are HUGE sports fans! Just wondering do they play hockey games (NHL) on the tv's. We will be there for a Crosby versus Ovechkin game and the boys really want to watch it here!!

Eat before you go and just order the pitcher or pitchers of beer thats an enjoyable experience like last year for my 33rd bday trip.
