Spoodles - Disappointed This Time

[Cap]

We went to Spoodles on the Boardwalk yesterday (Sat 2/15) morning for breakfast. They quoted us a 20 minute wait to get in. It was actually about 25. When we were in and seated I was surprised at the number of empty tables. They had 22 empty clean tables and 4 empty, but not bussed tables. In the meantime, the line continued waiting outside.

I asked my server and was told they did not have much waitstaff, so thought it was better to have guests wait outside to get in, rather than wait inside at tables.

While the food was good, the service was slow. They were not cleaning very well - the empty table on one side of us had lots of large food scraps (perhaps from a young child) on the floor and it was not cleaned during the 45 minutes we were there.

Oh well - the rest of the visit at Boardwalk was great. I think we'll skip Spoodles next time.

We had the same problem for dinner Jan 1. Very poorly organized, not enough staff, slow service- I thought it was because of the holidays. Food was good, though

Thanks for this info on Spoodles.

We had the *worst* experience with Spoodles in October... bad food, worse service. It was just awful in every respect. Funny thing is, it was one of our favorite restaurants up until that experience. I'm not sure why it has slipped so badly recently and why nothing is being done about it.

Last time at Disney (two years ago) we discovered the Spoodles breakfast buffet. Well, my kids and husband thought they were in heaven. We even went back twice.

It seems that since they got rid of the buffet, things have gone down hilll. After seeing these posts, I've scratched Spoodles from my list.

How does everyone else feel about this?
