Good restaurants: Disney Springs & The Boardwalk

[brad813]

I need some suggestions for good places to eat at Disney Springs and on the Boardwalk. I need to book dinner plans for both my arrival day and my Hollywood Studios day and was thinking these two areas fit the bill. Just not sure which options would be good.

I love love love Raglan Road. Great food and entertainment!

I really like House of Blues (shrimp & grits are awesome). Second choice would be Raglan Road.

Favorite in DS is Boathouse.

If you are on the dining plan, consider Trattoria al Forno. If not, head to Swolphin for bluezoo or Kimonos

Are you talking lunch or supper? We liked Flying Fish at BW for supper and you can't beat their bar. For lunch Big River Grille at BW isn't bad especially if you like craft beer.

QS: Blaze (we do't have any where we live so it is a novelty to us)
TS: Boathouse

We just tried House of Blues for the first time on our arrival day, and it was great! We went early, and it was calm and pleased both the kids and adults. I had the voodoo shrimp. Unbelievably good! Fast service, too. On the Boardwalk, Flying
Fish if you care to splurge. We just ate a great meal at Tratoria al Forno and this is a great choice, too. It was a bit noisier, but we ended up in a relatively calm nook, and the decor is great. We had a great tomato, mozzarella salad, and everything else was good. I love strolling the Boardwalk after dinner!

You can't go wrong with any of the restaurant options at The Swan and Dolphin resorts, those are our go to for our HS dinners (if we don't just walk to Epcot that is).

Really liked Boathouse in DS and Raglan Road has always been good too.

I refer to what you are calling supper as dinner. Lunch is lunch for me, so there is no further confusion.

Depends what kind of food you enjoy. We love Trattoria al Forno. Although I read mixed reviews before going, we've eaten there the last two years and had excellent service and the food was very good! We also loved Homecoming at Disney Springs... Delicious fried chicken

Generally, I am good with anything but Southern.

Agreed, the restaurants at the Swan & Dolphin are incredible--10-15ish minute walk from Hollywood Studios. bluezoo is my favorite favorite.
For Disney Springs, definitely Raglan Road! Best atmosphere and SUCH good food!

Disney Springs:
Raglan Road - decent food and great entertainment.
Portobello Italian Country Trattoria
Boardwalk:
Captain's Grill (actually it is in the Yacht Club)

For Disney Springs Ragland Road and The Boathouse have extensive menus, good food, great beer, and what is generally regarded as good service. I absolutely love Frontera Cocina too but it doesn't seem as popular on these boards for whatever reason. The food, drinks and service I've had there have been amazing.

As far as the Boardwalk goes there are only a handful of places but I'd say, depending on your budget, Blue Zoo has been really good lately. If steak is more your game then Yachtsman would fit the bill just fine. If you want something that could be a bit cheaper but still high quality then Il Mulino in the Swan offers half portions of their pasta dishes and such.

Only place I've eaten at Disney Springs was the Boathouse and it was very good.

In the Epcot resort area, I've had Shula's (Dolphin - excellent), The Fountain (at the Dolphin- very good), Beaches & Cream (BC - Burger joint, but a good one), Yachtsman Steakhouse (very good, but I like Shula's more), Big River Grill (BWI - Better than expected!). The only one that I didn't like was Flying Fish at BWI. My Dad didn't think it was anything special either.

 

[amberpi]

Anything at the Swolphin is excellent as is FF. Lots of great stuff at DS. Morimoto was good the last time I was there, but it gets mixed reviews, I haven't been enough to make a firm opinion.

 

[glamdring269]

We go to Raglan Road at least once every trip. Pretty sure we actually went twice in a single trip a few years ago.

I've enjoyed all my meals at the Boardwalk, at Flying Fish, Big River Grille and Brewing, and even ESPN. Loved Il Mulino at the Swan.

At Disney Springs, I've had great meals at Homecomin', D-Luxe Burger, Wolfgang Puck Express, Frontera Cocina, and Paradiso 37 (although here I'd stick with multiple appetizers and skip the entrees)
