How is the food at Caribbean Beach?

For table service and quick serve?

We have stayed at the CBR 4 times and always did the CS breakfast...it was pretty standard stuff like you would find anywhere else.

We are going back in Oct to the CBR and was looking for reviews of Shutters, the TS service. I was shocked at how many terrible reviews I found

One of the blog entries over the summer was a review of Shutters, and the review suggested it was an abysmal dining experience. We stayed there last year with my mom, and she's spicy-food-phobic, sonar didn't try it. It didn't ever have many people in it, though it was October.

The CS places seemed average. I had a western omlette one morning, and it was decent. I don't intend to eat there again this year, though - there are better CS throughout he resort.

What we ended up doing is using our snack credits (regular dining plan) for a bagel or other breakfast item, and then the rest of our meals were in the parks.

The rest of the CBR experience was AMAZING, though - definitely the best hotel/resort I've ever been to! Have an awesome trip!

That is a great idea, thank you. I am very excited about the resort, we have only stayed at Pop and loved it. DH encouraged me to look at deluxe resorts, and for our length of time it was stretching it, and since we like to plan 'extra' activities like the pirate & pal cruise, harmony barber, photo pass, etc I didn't want to stress over money and started looking at the mods. It ended up being between CBR and POFQ, CBR won out in the end, preferred room and now I cannot wait!

Exactly what I was seeing, and wondered if it really was true. I think for the 2 days we are going to Universal Studios we will try the cs breakfast(at least the 1st day) and if it's god again the 2nd day.

We are at CBR right now and have to say, the food is better than we remeber having 2 years ago. We are on day 2 of 9 and had a wonderful QS lunch yesterday.

Will you be brave enough to attempt Shutters?

I have to say: Our family loved the CS options at CBR. We had a REALLY good dinner there our last night when we were just too tired to go somewhere after we had come back to change. I think that there is a decent selection and we were pleasantly surprised. Never eaten at Shutters though... if we're spending a TS credit... we're making it worth our while and doing it at a deluxe resort or at one of the parks.

We stayed at CBR in '09.

The counter service is pretty average. Not bad but nothing to get excited over. Pretty much the same stuff you'd get anywhere else.

We got seriously rained on during our trip. We had a ADR for one of the places in Epcot but it was storming so bad that we decided to skip it. Since we would then have an extra TS credits I called Shutters and they got us in that night.

The food was poor. It was honestly the worst food we had our entire trip.

we ate quick service and had the burger combo meals. as i recall you got your drink in a separate place from the food but i was happy i got to get milk. the burgers were good. i liked the condiment area, i remember it having a topping bar. there were lots of places to pick from, it was just so deserted that we went with the place with the only other people and that was hamburgers.

it's such a unique area, it looks like a market. also, the pool looked so fun, but we didnt get in.

DH and I tried Shutters this past March. The service was good but the food quality was sub par. It definately was our least favorite meal of the trip. I got the ribs. There were two pieces on the plate. One of the pieces was just sauce, skin and bone. Absolutely no meat at all. DH had a chicken dish. The breast/wing that was served was the tinyest I have ever seen. It came with black beans and rice. There were some black beans on the plate with a small scoop of white rice on top them. It was very disappointing for the price.

We were there in January and we didn't try Shutters (it looked abandoned), but we did eat several meals late at night and breakfast at the food court area.

Nothing was amazing, but nothing was bad!! We had the mickey waffles and omlets on different mornings along with bacon that was always hot and crisp. We had pizza, burgers, chicken, pasta, even turkey & dressing -- just about everything. It was all pretty good for a food court in my opinion. I think Pops is the best I've had, but this definitely beat POFQ.

We had a couple of counter service meals. The tuna sandwich with a side of pasta salad was really good.

We liked it so much we ate at Shutters twice during our visit last year. I was weary at first bc I had read so many bad reviews but the food was good and the service was great.
