[Arielfan98]

I apologize for the long list, but I wanted to explain why I ranked these restaurants where.

1. Turf Club-Best steak on property
2. Rose and Crown-Best view of Illuminations and excellent fish & chips as well as steak!
3. The Wave-Excellent service there and good food as always
4. Chef's De France-Huge portions!
5. California Grill-Romantic and wonderful
6. Garden Grill-Their breakfast is the best one I've ever had and I love the characters there
7. Be Our Guest-Convenient location and their lunch is a good value
8. San Angel Inn-I think the atmosphere is unique and we've always had good servers. The food is lacking, however.
9. 50's Prime Time-Again, for atmosphere and service.
10. Sci-Fi-Atmosphere and service again, but their food is a good value for out of pocket.
11. Cinderella's Royal Table-Unique dining experience, but only good to try once with the kids.
12. Kona-Excellent restaurant and service, but they keep changing their menu so many points have been docked.
13. Marrakesh-an oldie, but a goodie. Not a huge fan of their menu.
14. Coral Reef-Been years since I've been here, but I enjoy the view.
15. Jiko-Again, been a long time. Food was good, but I didn't like the bread or butter they serve there and location is far.
16. Ohana-bread pudding and salad on point, everything else including service was mediocre.
17. Mama Melrose-I am from NY where Italian food is excellent so that is why it's so low.
18. Tony's Town Square-Again, Italian food not so great but convenient location and I've had wonderful service.
19. Skipper's Canteen-Why so low you may ask? Worst server ever. Condescending attitude about my allergies and the food there is nothing special compared to the Asian/seafood restaurants in my hometown.
20. Tutto Italia-Better Italian food, but the server didn't speak English well so that made it difficult to order. Plus, compared to Rose and Crown's Illuminations area, nothing can beat that.
21. Rainforest Cafe-The food is not very good except for the burgers. You're paying for the atmosphere, but no one in my family cares for that either.
22. Le Cellier-Most overpriced meal I have ever witnessed. Even STK has more affordable steaks--some cuts are under $50--and my family has found the steaks at a majority of the 1 TS credit places to be fantastic like Rose and Crown or Turf Club. Tiffins--another overpriced steakhouse-- would be next on the list, but I've never eaten there so I can't rate it.

[goofy4prez]

Here is my list. These are all excluding breakfast of which I do like Cape May, 1900 PF and Crystal Palace but not a fan outside of breakfast.

1. Victoria & Albert- Yes it's expensive, but the atmosphere, quality of food, service makes it unbelievable. Did the Queen Victoria's room and loved it.
2. Blue Zoo- Outside of V&A, this place is the best of the best.
3. Jiko- Never fails
4. Narcoossee's- A so so experience last time has dropped it a couple places for me.
5. Artist Point - Best salmon in WDW, Period... During the end of May into June the Copper River Salmon is to die for.
6. Tiffins- What a surprise for me. Went there last year when it was only open a week or so... I can't wait to go again.
7. Flying Fish- I will admit, I have not been there yet with the redo.
8. Citricos - Another one of those, "I wasn't expecting it to be this good."
9. Monsieur Paul - Been there twice and excellent food and service. Price knocks it down a bit.
10. Yachtsman - A tried and true for me. Can't say it does everything great, but it does everything very well. (except my filet... prefer medium, LOL)
11. San Angel Inn - I like that it's not typical Tex-Mex... Great atmosphere, but tables are a bit too close.
12. Tokyo Dining- Perhaps the friendliest service outside of V & A... Food is pretty decent and the sushi while not the best I've ever had is still good.
13. California Grill - This would be much higher if it weren't so noisy, service wasn't so spotty and the dessert menu wasn't so quirky.
14. Whispering Canyon Cafe- I don't like California Grill because of it's noise but love this place because of it. Decent BBQ and a lot of fun.
15. Raglan Road - Didn't live up to the hype, but still good food, lots of fun and the bread pudding is really that good.
16. Chef's de France - I prefer lunch instead of dinner. Nice place though.
17. Biergarten - Not a fan of buffets (other than breakfast), but this one I do like and is my favorite of the buffet restaurants.
18. Tutto Italia - I like it better than Via Napoli which I'm not the biggest fan. I'd rate higher, but it is a bit pricey.
19. Liberty Tree Tavern - I like the good old fashion thanksgiving type comfort food. At lunch the Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is one of the best desserts in WDW.
20. Coral Reef - I have never had a bad meal here. My biggest complaint is how long it takes to be seated beyond my ADR.
21. Boma - If I was a fan of buffets I'd rate this higher. It's average and that is a good thing when it comes to buffets.
22. Ohana- It used to be higher for me, but IMO is not the same as it was a few years ago. Perhaps it's just me and not the restaurant?
23. Tusker House - For breakfast, love it. For lunch or dinner, it's decent if I'm not going to Tiffins and eating in the park.
24. Yak & Yeti - Decent, but not great.
25. Le Cellier - I wanted to like this place. Food is good but fails to measure up to a signature standard in my book. Loud, tables too close and average service.

 

[gatordoc]

As I went through an online list, I realized I've eaten at every TS restaurant except for anything at Shades of Green or the Four Seasons. Still had trouble getting to 25, though.

1. Bluzoo - best overall dining experience on property - food, drinks, service, ambiance
2. Morimoto - the ribs are probably my favorite single food item on property
3. Homecoming - ditto above for the fried chicken
4. Tiffins - best theme park restaurant, everything delicious, great service
5. Via Napoli - I dream about their pizza
6. Shula's - best steak on property
7. Fountain - best burger on property
8. Yak and Yeti - not sure why this is so high, but really like the food and decor
9. Boma - best buffet on property
10. Citricos - criminally underrated, great food
11. Mama Melrose - only Italian on property that I really care for (Il Mulino is a travesty when compared to the NY original), and the atmosphere and decor are fun
12. Kimonos - best sushi on property
13. Raglan Road - love the atmosphere, the entertainment, and the Dalkey Duo
14. Victoria and Albert's - no doubt a great meal, but a few missteps last time we ate there (reversed requested temperatures of meat) - slipping? Remy on DCL is better.
15. Chefs de France - always enjoy the food. The Parisian breakfast at Food and Wine is especially good.
16. Rose and Crown - great beer, fish and chips, bangers and mash
17. Wave - best breakfast buffet on property
18. Plaza - beautiful location, very good sandwiches. Best choice in MK
19. Skipper Canteen - lots of fun, though the food can be variable
20. Sanaa - really love the bread service
21. Restaurant Marrakesh - a hidden gem. Lovely people, and very good food
22. Jiko - have had great meals and mediocre meals, but excellent when they're on
23. California Grill - still good but has unfortunately gone downhiill
24. Kona Cafe - pineapple macadamia pancakes, sticky wings
25. Artist Point - just a soft spot for this place as VWL was our first DVC home

 

[Yahweh]

I guess I haven't been to that many places recently! Two I did not include on my list are 50s Prime Time Cafe and Captain's Grille. We were SO disappointed with those restaurants that I do not want to give them any points!

If I do this again, it would be interesting to allow people to vote for their 3 worst restaurants as well. 5, 3 and 1 points would be subtracted from those restaurant's overall score.

I'd have the 1. Plaza, 2. Captain's Grille and 3.Tony's Town Square.

Oh well, may be next time!
