What are your top 3-4 TS/Buffets if paying OOP?

Our favorites are Grand Floridian Cafe, Yak and Yeti, the Wave, Rose and Crown, and Beaches and Cream.

Ohana's for dinner, Boma for dinner (trying breakfast on upcoming trip) Tusker House for breakfast.

Here are my lower-cost favorites:

Sci-Fi Dine-In: stick with burgers, fries, and shakes and you'll save money and get the best food they offer, IMO. The atmosphere is fun and unique.

'Ohana Breakfast: if you want characters and a good family-style meal this is great, plus it is a lower price than other character experiences.

Sanaa: That bread service is out of this world delicious! It is one of my favorite things to eat at WDW. My family of 4 shared a bread service with extra Naan, the grilled meat trio, a scallop appetizer, and a salad sampler. We were stuffed and the bill wasn't terrible.

Trail's End brunch is probably the best value IMO.

We always pay OOP, for whatever reason Disney dining doesn't work for us.

Ohana is fun - family-style rather than buffet, both for breakfast and dinner. We really like the dinner menu there and then you can go out to the beach at Poly and watch the fireworks.

Flying Fish is very good and our kids have done well ordering a steak off the adult menu and sharing it. If your kids prefer "real food" to nuggets or grilled cheese, paying OOP is a better deal most places.

Kona Cafe at Poly has been a good stand-by as well and not too pricey.
