We love steak. Our idea of a good place for steak is outback steakhouse or chilis we do not like going to fancier restaurants with the kids. Is there a restaurant at disney where we can have steak prepared in this type of way and casual and kid friendly.
You sound like a family similar to mine, so I'm guessing that the suggestions for Yachtsman's and Shula's aren't what you are looking for. Will you be on the
DDP? If you are, I would suggest one of the following three restaurants which only require on TS credit.
Coral Reef
Le Cellier
Concourse
Coral Reef had one of the best steaks I've eaten in years. The downside is that it's very expensive. If you're not on the DDP and money is an issue, you might prefer to try Concourse. This restaurant was so good that I'm making a return visit during the
free dining promotion.
Le Cellier has mixed, but generally very favorable, reviews. I haven't eaten there yet, but will be during the free dining promotion. Based on what I've read, about 80% of the people who eat here love it and say the steaks are among the best they've ever had, but the other 20% say that the steak was grizzly.
Concourse is probably your best option you're not on the DDP and money is a concern. The reviews are generally favorable, but it isn't nearly as popular as Coral Reef or Le Cellier. I've heard more negative reviews about Concourse than the other two, but for the most part people are very pleased with their meals. Prices are certainly higher than an Outback, but not by as much as you might imagine, and in my experience, the food at ANY Disney restaurant is going to be a huge step up from Outback. It's more of an experience than just a meal.
As for not dining in fancy restaurants with kids, you don't have to worry about that in Disney. If your concern is the KIDS and not the money it takes to pay for all of them, then you might want to reconsider one of the Signature restaurants. They are more expensive and require 2 TS credits if you are on the DDP, but your kids will not be out of place. Kids are welcome just about everywhere at Disney.
