Fulton's Crab House

[marriedmarylander]

How much would you budget for a dinner here?

Also, is this really that great of a place? Dh mentioned going there cuz some co-worker told him it was good. I thought it would be sorta convient to do before going to PI that night.

Although he leaves the planning up to me so I could just say I changed it LOL!

You can look at the menu at http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menus.htm#pi and get an idea for prices and what you need to budget. Some people go all out with appetizers, entrees, dessert, wine etc and others do entree and water so it can vary ALOT.

I really enjoyed my one and only meal there =)

It really depends on what you're planning to order, but I would say AT LEAST a hundred. My boyfriend's meal was $45 by itself, but I had chicken, so mine was only about $20 or so. But add on drinks, possibly appetizers and desserts, and the bill adds up. However, we feel it was worth every penny. Delicious!

We've eaten here 3 times over the years. The first meal was terrible, and each successive meal was worse than the one before. Bad food, bad service, and a 45 minute fight with the waiter and manager to correct a bill...never again!

I wouldn't go to Fultons again even if someone else was paying--.
The service is absolutely the worst in (of?) any WDW restaurant.

We like Fulton's alot. All though we are usually going at off peak times so maybe that's wht the service has been better. They have awesome stone crab claws during season (nov - may) and good clam chowder too. Last Dec I had a crab cobb salad that was really good. I guess everyones opinion and experience there is different. I say if you are unsure of any restaurant try lunch first, it's less expensive and probably if you don't care for the lunch you will not be happy with the dinner. Dining is so subjective, one person hates it, one person loves it, I say try it once it could be just what you are looking for.

My dw and myself always go to fultons when we go to disney. We are usually able to get a set next to a window so we can enjoy the sunset. I would say we usually spend about $120-$150. Thats with app, dinner, coffee and usually a bottle of wine, but it is worth it.

 

[marriedmarylander]

We are going to PI right afterwards so won't be drinking any alcohol there.

No wine, no coffee, no appetizers (if I get appetizer I can't eat anything else afterwards), no desert.

HOw do you all eat so much?

although I almost always agree w/Uncleromulus's dining reviews, I have to say I've never had a problem at Fulton's and we've been there on almost every trip. The Alaskan King Crab claws are to die for. My BF & I usually split an appetizer (the fried calamari is the most tender I've ever had) and then split the crab claw entree; with a bottle of wine it's usually about $100 or so before tip (the claws entree is about $45 alone). We had poor service once, but every other trip the service has been suitable, possibly a little on the slow side if you're chomping at the bit to get somewhere, but we usually go there early and don't have any set plans afterwards.

DH and I LOVE Fultons, I am sorry some of the above posters had such bad experiences. We even ate there twice in FEB!! we budgeted about $100 for our dinner, we usually get king crab legs and split an app. we never get drinks except for iced tea there so that does keep the price down. We have had fab service, only had to wait a little (30 min) for PS when we arrived on our trip in 03. We would definetly go again. WE LOVE IT. One of the other posters had the link to the all ears menus, that is a great link be sure to check it out for prices.

Fulton's lover here. We don't eat an appetizer (so we can eat the entree). We've never had a problem there in the 3-5x we've been there. I would say plan between $75-$130. It really depends on what you get. To me, it's worth EVERY penny. My DH switches his entree around every time he goes. I always get the same thing: Alaskan King Crab Claws and Lobster tail. I eat avery light lunch that so I have room. My 9 yo loves the snow crab and the shrimp is good too. Stay clear from the Dungeness Crab Cakes..they are rubbery and nasty! We took my DH's parents w/ us last summer and with drinks, and 4 adult meals and 1 child meal it was like $225 not including tip. They really liked it too.

My dh and I love Fulton's. We eat there at least once on each trip. We have always had excellent service and excellent food. We usually spend around $125. I always get the crab claws which are delicious.

I had lunch there last summer and wasn't very impressed. I don't plan on going back.
