Help with Boardwalk/Swan/Dolphin Restaurant Choice

[johnvree]

We are staying at the Y&BC. We are already hitting the restaurants there and were planned on having dinner at Palio, which we love. Bad news yesterday: Palio will be closed as of mid-August for renovation.

So now we need another restaurant in this area. We do not like seafood. So I crossed off the Flying Fish. We are already doing Yachtman's Steakhouse, so I crossed off Shula's. Here are my remaining choices in this area:

-Spoodles (didn't see too much on the menu that we'd eat)
-Big River Grille and Brewing Works
-Gullivers (we'd be there on Monday, Good old South theme)

Any thoughts, reviews or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

We loved Spoodles, but had the Seafood Stew so that doesn't help you. We also went to Big River Grille for lunch and thought it was very good. The portion size was large and the food was very tasty.

We always enjoy Big River. We like the hamburger and fries and pecan crusted chicken so far. DH has tried the meatloaf and didn't care for that. We also enjoy trying a new beer. Portions are large. Atmosphere is not especially well themed as most of Disney restaurants go, but we enjoy eating there.

Gulliver's had the worst food I have ever tried to eat during a Disney trip, even worse than ABC Commissary. When the server saw my food was barely touched he called over the manager who took it off my bill. This was the character dinner buffet with Timon and Rafiki. After that "meal" we headed to Epcot where I got an order of fish and chips in the UK.

We really liked Yacht Club Galley, a more informal version of Yachtsman's Steakhouse (where you plan to eat) -- awesome crab cakes!!!

Blue Zoo (Dolphin) is great, and their menu is more than just fish.
