I ate there once. I can't remember what I had, but I remember that I wanted to get my soda in a special cup & they didn't have any.

Pinocchio Village Haus

A couple times we stopped in for a bite. Nothing special, food-wise, but you can watch IASW riders through a window (upstairs? I think?)

Pinocchio Village Haus -
Well, I have been in there twice. And only eaten there once, and that was the last part of 2009. We were on the quick service dine plan. Which one thing nice about that is being able to eat wherever you happen to be, as long as a QS place is around.
DH was not hungry (much) so we only got one meal, that I shared with him. He ate most of the fries. I had the meatball sandwich. Which wasn't too bad. It was better than I expected. Nothing to brag about. But not bad. And better than a burger or hot dog.
Hard to say how many years it will be before I return though.

I think I have only been once or twice.....years ago when the kids were small.
It was just okay, nothing special.
We are never in the area at a meal time anymore.

It's the CS by Raglan Road DtD.

I have eaten there once. It was okay. I am not much of a fish person, but do like good fish and chips....didn't care for this one. The fish was too thick and "juicy" so the breading got too soggy. Fries too thick and not crispy.
Would rather eat at Epcot for my fish and chips

Yes, have eaten there a few times. Last time was probably in November when we were on a quick service dining plan trip. (That may have been our SSR trip. Where we checked out the day Nancy checked in -- and we would have just been just doors apart! )

The last time we had we both got the scallop platter. Sure can't beat that for a quick service. The scallops were good, except there was some grit.
We both always wanted to try their doh bar. It was a Snickers candy bar, with a little batter and deep fried. Neither of us cared for it. So glad we tried it on a dining plan.
And almost everything they have is battered and deep fried. And bland. I recall their fish (awhile back) I was dumping vinegar on like crazy just to have any flavor.

They also carry fresh meat pies that looked real yummy. I would try one of those next.
And they must be going somewhat American, as at that visit there was a small sign on their counter stating they also had hamburgers. They must have had a lot of guests asking for them. I did not see anyone eating any while we were there though.

We ate there 5 years ago before the candlelight processional and didn't rate it that much. However i have heard that it has improved since then so I might try it again.
