We are the minority with our opinion of H&V....we LOVE it!! Our daughter was turning 2 when we went in June, so she was very into the characters. She did have a melt down and we ended up leaving before Handy Manny came to our table, but we got to see him in Animation circle afterwards!
The food was good...your typical choices but a few interesting things as well. They had a hash with cornbread on top, biscuits and gravy, grits, potato casserole, mickey waffles, cereal, chicken sausage, bacon...we thought everything was good (except the chicken sausage) and plenty of fresh fruit to pick from as well.
The character interaction was great...every 10 minutes or so, they play a good playhouse disney song and all the characters go to the middle and invite the kids to join in. They do a parade around the restaurant as well!
If your child loves those characters, it will most certainly be worth it. We are going back in December and have 2 H&V ressies because we enjoyed it so much.
