1/14 - Late arrival:
Sassagoula Floatworks at POFQ - dinner. Hands down the best counter service we've had at any resort and tops among all counter service at the parks too. Muffaletto (sp?) sandwich, ribs and beignets all outstanding.

1/15
Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe - lunch. Like a Honda, reliable but nothing special. Gets very crowded but plenty of seating. Taco salad is not so good, meat texture too grainy and the fixings bar is limited. Burgers are okay. Carrot cake too sweet.
Beirgarten - dinner. Very interesting. Service was good. Buffet filled with good tasting choices. If you don't like sausage though, go elsewhere. We had the "big" beers, and they were HUGE :banana:. Entertainment was not constant, the oompa band did not play as much as we expected. Our kids danced to the music. Good, worth experiencing.

1/16
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater - lunch. More about theme than food. My reuben was very greasy. Daughter loved the pizza. Both our kids thought the movie clips shown were weird and were ready to leave quickly. Good to do once, but don't see any need to go back.
Raglan Road - dinner. Liked the food and nice beer selection. Atypical entre selection. Service was good. We would go back here. Fun entertainment.

1/17
Toluca Legs Turkey Co. - lunch. Fun, but not as good as they look. Meat tastes great, but not as many "clean" bites as you might expect. Lots of cartilage (sp?).
California Grill - dinner. Very nice. I had sushi and thought it was average at best. Wife had steak and loved it. Kids liked their steak and macaroni and cheese. Duck flat bread was okay. Excellent service and good wine. This place was all about the Wishes views from the top of the Contemporary. May go back, but primarily for experience rather than food.

1/18
Tusker House - breakfast. Great breakfast spot. We had an 8:00 reservation and were done in time to go out and ride EE 2x and get fastpasses for later. Food pretty much the same as other breakfast buffets.
Flame Tree BBQ - lunch. Very good as always. One of the best counter services in WDW. Chicken and ribs are outstanding. The birds like it too so be prepared to defend yourself!
Boma - dinner. Still the best dinner buffet at WDW for us. Food choices remain unique and excellent. AKL is beautiful and you can have a drink in the lounge above the restaurant while you wait for your table. Highly recommended!

1/19
Rosie's All American Cafe - lunch. Everybody happy with their burgers and nuggets. Nice seating area for people watching and listening to screams from Tower of Terror.
Sassagoula Floatworks at POFQ - dinner. See above. One of the few dining experiences worth repeating at WDW.

Happy to answer any questions!
 
thanks for the reviews.

We too are going to go to Port Orleans in a few months and as usual....I am anxious.

Thanks again for the reviews
