Backlot Express.......not good for us. We just ate there at the beginning of December and didn't enjoy the burgers. They looked so good on the menu but once they were eaten, they just sort of felt like a heavy clump in the tummy. Don't think we will try it again.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Have eaten there, typical CS fare.

Garden Grill...we've eaten there 2 years in a row--both times were pretty good. The catfish last year was really good, but they had mahi mahi I think this year, and it wasn't great. The dessert was a really good cobbler.

Backlot Express...burgers were decent. No complaints, but nothing extrordinary.

 

[Luv2Roam]

WDW burgers are just something to be avoided. Always a last resort.
Not much good to say about DHS counter service. We normally eat elsewhere before or after, and only eat counter service there when we must due to timing.

[Meriweather]

I haven't either. Might have to give it a try some trip.

 

[Missy1961]

yeah, those recipes sound good, especially the chicken. I would love that, but dad would never eat it. Perfect thing to eat when I'm at a restaurant!

Haven't eatten there yet

 

[Luv2Roam]

The few times I have eaten there I never liked it. Not like the food was bad. Just nothing worth remembering except how -eh - it was.
Now I have not eaten there for at least three years. So guessing the menu has changed since.
Others on the restaurant board kept raving about how good TH was. So I kept trying it, and finally gave up. No time was any better than another to me.

Master Cook is my computer recipe program. I enter recipes into it.
The recipe is reportly from Tusker House, not sure about on a current menu though.

According to the post, the chicken dish is from the Rose & Crown. (Another restaurant where we ate once and only have a bad memory of, and almost all due to poor service.)

We haven't eaten here either. We've only been to AK twice, so we haven't been to many of the restaurants there.
