[Carol36]

These are our favorites!(not in any order)

California Grill- atmosphere and wonderful food

Ohana's- you have got to eat here...it's so good!

Trails end buffet- great food, great price!

Chef Mickey's- We can't go to WDW without going here. It's magical and the food is good!

Wolfgang Puck Express- I love the pizza!

The Plaza- in the MK- Good hamburgers and sandwiches. This is a nice, cool place to eat and relax.

Le Cellier is sooo good!

Chefs de France- We went for a late lunch and enjoyed the food alot!

Whispering Canyon Cafe' is fun and has wonderful food!

San Angel Inn- good food with a romantic atmosphere. I can't think of the name of the "fast service" counter in Mexico, but the food there is cheaper and is very good!

MY least favorite is Boma. I am not hard to please when it comes to food. I was unpleasantly surprised with the food here. I had read so many great things about the food here, so I was so excited about eating at Boma finally! I probably will not be back!

I hope this helps!

Here are my 10, in no particular order:
Boma
Never ate there for dinner, but their breakfast, real early in the morning before the crowd gets there, is in my top three at the World.

Kona Cafe'
The breakfast at the Kona Cafe' is also in the top three. The Tonga Toast and the Kona coffee make this a definite breakfast stop.

Spoodles
Spoodles rounds out the top three breakfasts. Take a walk on the Boardwalk at 7:00 A.M. and at 7:30 A.M., stop in at Spoodles and have one of their delicious Frittatas. It doesn't get much better than this.

Jiko
Great service, food, and atmosphere. Their flatbreads are some of the best in the World. Chef Grecchi-Grey is fantastic.

Blue Zoo
Atmosphere, atmosphere, and atmosphere, the Blue Zoo's oozing it. Todd English has done it again. One of the best restaurants at Disney for that romantic meal that's away from the crowds.

Les Chefs de France
Lunch only! Dinner is much too hectic. My wife and I enjoy the Grilled Cheese Sandwich or the Tuna Sandwich. Arrive at noon, it's not too crowded and the waitstaff is not rushed.

The House of Blues
Our lunchtime stop when we're visiting the West Side. We love the atmosphere and the cajun food. What more can I say!

The Rose and Crown Pub
This is another lunchtime break. In December, I just love a bowl of the Guinness stew and a pint of Black and Tan. Otherwise, the Fish and Chips, with a Bass Ale, do just fine.

The Liberty Tree Tavern
This is the Magic Kingdom's contribution to my list. They serve a nice lunch, and their Character Dinner is always worth the stop.

Beaches and Cream
My FAVORITE overall diner. The hamburgers are worth the flight from New England to Florida. My favorite childhood beverage is available all day: homemade Vanilla Coke. Oh my! For a hot afternoon break, this is #1!
