Recent Kona breakfast reviews?

[Hettie]

I can't decide whether to keep my Kona breakfast ADR in a couple of weeks or try the breakfast at The Grand Floridian Cafe instead. I have been leaning toward cancelling Kona after the menu changes, including the loss of the Samoan, Big Kahuna, and reports that the pancakes not longer had the macadamia nuts IN the batter. I'm not sure if the pork belly benedict appeals to me, even though I do like pork belly. I would totally go for the pancakes if the nuts are still in the batter. I'm not sure what my DH would like though, he would have enjoyed the Big Kahuna or Samoan and there doesn't seem to be a good replacement for either of those. We're staying at the Poly, so Kona is a bit more convenient for us.

Anyone have any recent experiences to share?

When did the menu change? We had breakfast there on 7/21and the pancakes had the nuts because my nephew wouldn't eat them.

Back in the spring sometime, so it sounds like the nuts are still in there. That's good to know. Thanks!

Check out the reviews on Trip Advisor for Kona Cafe. There is one from 5 days ago that says you can still order the Big Kahuna. As he said in his review - "THe Big Kahuna Lives". Of course, who knows for how long. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaur...eviews-Kona_Cafe-Orlando_Florida.html#REVIEWS

Ate there a few months ago and had the pancakes. I THINK the nuts were still there but I couldn't tell you off hand. Really you can't go wrong with either cafe but the GF Cafe menu is a bit more traditional.
