We LOVE this place. DH could eat here every night. The king crab legs are awesome and it's just a fun place. It's not Disney themed at all, but if you like seafood, go!
Yummy!

We HATED it! For the two of us (me29, DH32) it was well over $100. The food was mediocre at best and the service was horrendous. We had better seafood at Red Lobster. I also got a sick stomach after eating there. IMHO, you would be better off taking that kind of money and eating at California Grill, Narcoossee's or Citricos, who are known for their very gifted chefs! (We have truly enjoyed all of our meals at Cal Grill and Narcoossee's. We have not had Citricos, but I understand it is fabulous!)


With that said, many people love Fultons. We, however, will not be going there again.

For 2 adults, we usually have a bill around $100.00. I think its worth it since we don't have good seafood in the Midwest.

Well--I'm not their biggest fan, that's for sure. Always had plenty of service issues each of the 4 times we had dinner there. We won't be going back anytime soon either.
Here's a link to our menu site. Locate Fultons and you'll see the prices.

We have always enjoyed it. The decor was very nice and the view at sunset is very pretty.

A meal can easily run around $100 depending on what you get and if there are drinks and appetizers, desserts involved. We've gone several times and not once had an issue with service. It was always great and they always treated us (and my 2 young kids) like royalty. We go out alot so my kids behave really well in restaurants. It used to be a "must do" place every year. This past year, we went even though I had seen several bad reviews. The service was still superb, but the food was just "OK." It was kind of on the cold side. It wasn't bad, but it didn't seem as good as it used to be? I get the King Crab Claws and sometimes a steak or something. Maybe they scaled back on the portions or something. The atmosphere is nice, but I could go over to the Crab House across from Hotel Plaza Blvd and get Dungeous Crabs for $18.99 and save a whole lotta $$$. So, we are skipping it this year. I'd like to try Citrico's or Narcossee's like Mrs Tink suggested. But you can try it out..every one is different.

Food was expensive ...service slow and bad. We have great seafood in our area. I won' t go back.

We ate there last month, food and service were good. It is overpriced, dinner for the two us us with tax and tip was $180.

We ate there in October - 4 adults, 1 child.

Service was GREAT. Our waitress, Michelle, was terrific and we had absolutely no complaints!

Food was very good, DS loved the "smiley face" fries. Three of us had snow crab, DH had a sampler platter. He thought the portion was small, but we all thought the food was very good. We did not have appetizers, desserts, or alcoholic beverages and our bill was about $160. We walked over to Ghirardelli for ice cream after dinner because we were pretty full.

We liked Fulton's and would eat there again.

Well, we enjoy the Crab and Lobster Bisque, it is outstanding. I notice most folks complaing about the high prices. This is a fact, but if you really want to try it, go during the lunch hours, it will cost you less. Oh, and we have always had excellent service there.

Go to Cal Grill and get the beef bullion ( I think that's what it's called) it's about $30-$35 but well worth it.

Hi!

My husband and I just love Fulton's! It's our "alone meal" every trip. I have seen a lot of bad reviews, but I notice that they are usually from those who have tried Fulton's at dinner. If you go at lunch, the place is typically pretty empty, the food is cheaper, and you get outstanding service!

Great place for seafood.

 

[Docsknotinn]

Price and service aside we really enjoy Fultons. Not our favorite but certainly a nice place with good food.

I know I'm in the minority but I enjoyed Fulton's when we went this summer. However, we got steak and not seafood, so I wouldn't know how that was.

We managed to go there at dinnertime with our 4 kids (including a 1 year old! ), I did make early dinner reservations though and we had a bit of a wait to get seated but service was great after that. We had a really good server and in addition to whoever he was, made my DD's day by making her a paper napkin rose. It was just an overall great experience (we were on the Premium plan so really couldn't tell you prices as it was included but easily $100 I'm sure for 2 adults depending on what you get. We did get desserts and they have the best chocolate cake there!)

This was one of my favorite meals there.

My boyfriend and I love it. First time we went the service was a little bit slow. But the last time it was top notch. We'll be visiting again in May.

We ate there last week on our vacation and enjoyed it. We went for lunch and it wasn't crowded at all. The service was good and we enjoyed the food (DH, and DD-10). It was a little pricey--but we were on vacation! We loved looking at the ceiling on the second floor. We would go back there again.

We LOVED it! The food and service were great. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. I can't remember his name, though, it may have been George, and he had a French accent. I especially recommend the crab claws. It is the sweetest, most tender crab meat I have ever had, and hardly any work to get the meat out!

 

[wildernesslodgelover]

I agree with what MrsTink said. That is the ONLY restaurant at WDW that I will never go to again. Service was horrible, food overpriced and not good. We "splurged" and got the lobster and crab experience for two ($70) and it was one tiny, watery lobster and some scrawny crab legs...also watery. Even the side dishes were bad. I have a feeling there are better things on the menu, but we will not go back to try it.

On a positive note...we did enjoy our cocktails at the lounge before our dinner. We liked that atmosphere and view.

I am a huge seafood fan, and I was underwhelmed, to say the least.
