Skipper Canteen

[Rivergirl2005]

My bff and I are doing a girls trip. She really wants to eat at Sc but I'm really nervous. I'm allergic to onions and I do not like spicy food. Looking at the menu, I didn't see much except for the pork loin or the kids menu. Will they let me eat the sweet and sour chicken off the kids menu? Should we not go here? I feel bad be she wants to eat there so badly but idk if I can....

It was way less scary to dine at Skipper Canteen than I originally expected (I'm a very picky eater!) DH ordered Dr. Falls Steak and I ordered the Skip's Beefy Baked Pasta and neither options were spicy. I also do not recall onions in these dishes although it's always best to inform your server when you're seated so that the chef knows how to prepare your meal. Sorry I can't help with ordering from the kids menu because I haven't tried it before but I wish you the best of luck!

I think I ended up ordering off the kids menu, hard to remember. Probably chicken. I liked the atmosphere, will not eat there again unless there is a menu change.

I know I have a very restricted diet. It is my problem. I am not proud. What I would like there is 1-2 bland boring items on the menu, even give them insulting names, and mock me while placing it in front of me. I can take that type of treatment.

It is super nice inside, and also fun to walk around a bit and view the decor up close.

I am sure you can order the kids' chicken if that's what you want! My oldest son (not a super adventurous eater) got the char siu pork and *loved* it. It was similar to teriyaki pork (not spicy at all), with white rice, and a green veggie (I believe it was Chinese broccoli). It was a giant portion and delicious! We thought the restaurant was great--very well themed and a unique option for MK.

Even after reading terrible reviews my sister and I really wanted to try it.
I'm glad we did. WE LOVED it!!!
I'm not into spicy and she doesn't like onions.
I had the beefy pasta bake dish and she had steak.
Neither was spicy and both had plenty of flavor.
I've been able to order off the child or adult menu at any restaurant I've gone to at WDW an d there have been times that I have in fact ordered off the child menu at both QS and TS locations.

Get the whole fried fish without the scallions! Skipper Canteen is by far the highest quality food in MK. Although that's not saying much given the competition...

I'm pretty picky in that I don't love strong flavors or spicy foods, but I really loved the food at Skipper Canteen. It sounds far more exotic than it actually tastes. I had the pork and my husband enjoyed the fried chicken. The only thing that was too much for me was the honey they give you to dip the bread. The bread was very tasty but the honey had an herb in it that gave it a very strong floral flavor I didn't care for.

As for the onion allergy just let them know about it and they can accommodate you like any other TS restaurant.

I wouldn't be nervous about the food here at all. Go and enjoy!
