Fulton Crabhouse

I think that's the name of it in DD? Has anyone eaten there? Is it expensive? I love seafood! Is there any other great reasonably priced seafood places around Disney?

Thanks

We have eaten there several times and enjoyed it. It is a bit pricey--I think we spent around $100 or so for dinner without alcohol or dessert.

We liked it. DW and I ate there on our last visit over the New Year's holiday. I dont't know if it's considered moderately priced or not, but we had an excellent meal and great service. This was our first time there, and I would like to return on our upcoming visit. Flying Fish at the Boardwalk gets some great reviews, but I heard it's pricey. We want to try that one also.

Pricey, yes, but we love it.................we go back every trip......you will get lots of mixed reviews on this board about the quality and the service, but my wife and I have never had anything but a superb experience there.........
I think we've been there 6-7 times in the last 5-6 years..............

We ate there last October. It was our night out alone, while Grandparents watched DD. It was pricey, but already knew that. I ordered the snow crab legs and DH had the snow & king crab leg combo. I had the chowder and DH had a dinner salad. No alcohol or dessert and our bill was $80. The food was absolutely wonderful. The crab was done perfectly. The red potatoes were delicious. The corn was fresh, not frozen. Our waiter could have used some remedial waiter training, but we saw other tables with wonderful service.

I would definately recommend this restaurant.

We really enjoy Fulton's and try to eat there each trip. But in most restaurants, you will find good fish. I just came back and had wonderful fish at the California Grill and Chefs de France.

Mmmmmmm Fulton's crab legs....... I took my wife last year for Mothers Day -what a nice dinner -sun was setting on veranda - we had a great meal- a bit pricey but well worth it, made ressies for this Mothers Day !

Excellent! Yum! I got married at DW last May and took everyone here for dinner afterwards, that's how much we love it! People still comment on how wonderful the King Crab Legs were! They are outstanding!
DH and I go here for dinner our first and last night every trip. It's wonderful and afterwards we head over to Ghirardelli's for dessert! Mmmmmmm!
Expensive, but worth it. It's probably around $100.00 for the two of us.

First, sorry I have to disagree w. the above posters on Fulton's.

Being from the New England seacoast, we are used to the freshest seafood.

Fulton's is basically and over priced Red Lobster. It's dirty and the servers are rude -- they don't care.

Just my opinion.....

 

[minijeanie]

have to agree with catheren....food isn't all that terrific...she is exactly right..

upscale red lobster,,,,ate there 2 yrs ago,,just okay, nothing to write home about...and yes very,very expensive...
which I wouldn't mind if food was worth it

and yes, have had MD crabs, jersey crabs and lobsters from new england
so guess this isn't totally fair
but then again
think all pizza in florida is not edible

Love Fultons. Never seen it dirty nor had a bad server. The food has always been very good and in no way is similar to Red Lobster.

Food-wise it's alright, but it has arguably the WORST service in all of WDW--from the greeter at the podium, all the way thru the servers, and right on down to the table cleaning staff.

At the risk of piling on I'll just detail ONE of our "poor" experiences. We went one evening and got there at exactly 5:30 PM. Went in and walked up to the podium. The "greeter" had his head buried in the schedule book. He didn't acknowledge our presence for a good 30 seconds or so, then simply looked up at us and said--NOTHING!! AS if to suggest "What in the hell do you want??" We identified ourselves and the reservation time. He rolled his eyes, again said nothing to us, mumbled something like "#32" to a fellow standing nearby, handed him two menus and that was it. Spoke not a word the whole time!!
Assuming we were to follow the guy with the menus, we went to our table--whereupon the menu fellow DROPPED the menus on the table from about chest height and walked away!! Not a word to us!!
So --Welcome to Fultons?? Enjoy your meal??
I don't think so!!

I think that would have made me concider getting up and leaving. That's not a good start to a great dining experience.

My boyfriend and I went here last September and it was one of my favorite meals of our trip. I don't remember anything bad about the service. Only bad part was that when I was in the bathroom, there was a girl in another stall on her cell phone talking, she flushed the toilet and then walked out without washing her hands. She was one of the servers. Eeeep!

I've really enjoyed each of my meals here (pricey, yes...but the food is good), but on my last visit the service was terrible. The dinner took so long we missed our planned activities for later that night. When I complained, I got a "well whadaya want me to do about it" answer. That was the last time we went and that was 4 years ago.
