Fulton's Crab House Opinions

[tndisneyfan]

I'm thinking about making an ADR for Fulton's for our upcoming trip. Would anyone who's eaten there care to give their opinions. Is it good, fresh seafood? We are in a landlocked state (TN) so it's hard to find good seafood. Is it worth the price?

Also, DH doesn't like seafood. Is there more than just a steak option for him?

I'll be kind today and instead of saying it's wretched, I'll just say it's no good.

This is one of our favorites !! They fly in fresh seafood daily...we've always enjoyed it.

For seafood, excellent. We ate lunch there early October. Both the fried seafood platter and the cold trio were SCRUMPTIOUS!!!

Now, don't know about non seafood options....check out the menu on allearnet.com

We love Fulton's and eat there every trip, although we eat at the bar and do a few apps and drinks rather than a full meal.

Like engle said, I have no idea about non-seafood options, but would imagine they have steak, chicken, etc.

Hi. This is by far my favorite seafood restaurant. Normally I'm well...cheap as DH would say, but not when it comes to Fulton's. I LOVE the king crab claws. DH isn't as big a seafood eater...he said that he would recommend either steak or chicken there. He said those were both really good. You can see the fresh seafood on ice when you enter and I think the atmosphere of it being on the riverboat is really neat too. So basically...I would give it !!!

DH and I ate there last month and it was the best crab, shrimp and lobster ever and I am originally from Boston! Tons of pics and full review in my Oct link.

We are going back in January and cannot wait!

The menu on allears is not the current menu

We've had dinner there our past three trips and had a great meal every time. I love the crab and lobster bisque. Dh had the Lobster Narragansett one time and even though the menu warned him he had no idea it was so much food lol! I'm not sure about the non-seafood specials but I imagine they have a few options

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! However since they took it of DDP we don't eat there anymore. I wish they would include it again. Yes I remember when it was on the plan.

Uncle is indeed being kind today. This place has a well earned reputation for poor service and overall mediocre food. In short, no reason to visit there given all the other good choices there are at WDW.

Fulton's is one that we never miss when we go. We've ALWAYS had great food, service and atmosphere! I'm absolutely sure I'll get burned for saying this, but "bad " service is subjective. I waited tables for many years while in college, and I have to say that there is just no pleasing some people!!!! I can tell if I'm getting bad service because the waitress is slammed, or they simply aren't being attentive. Maybe some folks should pay a bit more attention to what is going on around them: Major crowds, hungry/tired/cranky patrons. So as I said before, some people just can't be pleased. That being said, there is simply no excuse for a bad attitude and non-attentivness. (Now let the burning begin!!!!!)

We enjoy Fulton's very much. As someone mentioned, the crab/lobster bisque is a very fine selection!

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. First, be aware it is NOT on the dining plan and it is very expensive. We have always had great food and great service. Here is the review from our most recent visit in September.

We chose Fulton's as our 25th anniversary dinner celebration and we were NOT disappointed. I don't need to go to signature restaurants for "fancy decorated" food as long as I have good food--which we always have had at our numerous visits to Fultons.

I enjoy fultons everytime i go to disney. being a dvc member there's a discount.

and as for attentiveness, sometimes there's something to be said. i had chosen a half bottle of wine to go with my meal and they didn't have it. when the check came, i wasn't charged for the alternative i chose. don't know if it was attentiveness, or just a comp since i didn't get the wine i wanted. but it was much appreciated.

My family and I had dinner there this past August and we thought it was a great meal.

It is a must on all of our trips - just ate their last Friday. We are from new England so seafood is fresh for us all the time - and it is very fresh there. My husband loves the King Crab Claws, he says they are better lobster. They state there are only 6 places in the US that sell these.

I on the other hand don't care for seafood - but I will eat fish as long as it is fresh. On Friday I had the Mahi Mahi and I have had Salmon in the past. They do have a chicken and steak on the menu - but just ok - nothing great like the seafood.

BUT - this place is pricey - just for the plate of KC Claws it was almost $52!

They also had one of the best deserts I had last week - a large warm choc chip cookie (very rich) with ice cream and choc sauce. LOVED IT.

I've been there about 6 times in the last 10 or so years and I love it.

Crab claws are incredible...

Also... you can get the full menu in the bar area - we've done that when we didn't have ADR's on a busy night...

Had lunch there last Sunday. Service and food were excellent.
