What Is Your Most Disappointing Restaurant @ WDW

[Baileymouse]

Another vote for Coral Reef. My Mom raved about it when she went years ago, but when we went back a couple of years ago it was terrible. None of the dishes were any good.

I find it funny that Orlando Magazine's restaurants column lists many Disney restaurants as reader faves, but the favorite seafood restaurant was Red Lobster! Coral Reef never even made the voting.

I've also been disappointed by Akershus. To me it was eh.

We didn't like the restaurant in Mexico at Epcot. I LOVED the atmosphere but the food tasted like dogfood. I've never tasted dogfood but imagine that it would taste like the meals we had! I've heard before that the food there is "real" mexican food and the food at most mexican restaurants is "americanized" mexican food. We were there 10 years ago so maybe it has changed. I would love to bring the kids there but don't know what we would eat.

We did not care for Hollywood and Vine.

Cinderella's breakfast
All I have to say is not so great food and snotty princesses.
What a disappointment!!!

I'm going to have to go out on a limb here and say Brown Derby at MGM.

My wife and I went when we were there in 2000 for our honeymoon and the food was just too "foo-foo" for me. The presentation was great, but the food itself was only mediocre and I was pretty hungry when I left.

I will say the Brown Derby in MGM as well. We went for lunch and had a hard time finding something to order. We really should have left and gone somewhere else but we tried it and just won't do it again.

I know I will get flamed here - but my biggest dissapoinment was LeCellier lunch. We waited for what seemed like an hour for our steaks. When they arrived, they were lukewarm and the 3 tiny potatoes with them were stone cold. The steak was also chewy.

How did I miss this thread and not have been able to say "Fultons"?? Worst service at WDW.

Chef Mickeys! The character interaction was minimal and the buffet was weak at best.

I was not a big fan of Mama Melrose's. My dinner was dry (I had chicken marsala) and the waitress was not having a good day. It's the only restaurant on Disney property that I have ever had a negative thing to say about. I hope it stays that way.

I know I will get flamed here but.............Citrico's!!

DH and I went last summer (no kids) and had a not so good meal. Service was lousy. Seating was totally opposite of where I requested (and it wasn't even busy) and food had to be sent back becuase it was fully cooked!!! The service was so lousy that even the head chef noticed we were not eating (sat close to the open air kitchen) and came over and asked what was wrong!! Out waitress was MIA!! He took DH's food back and by the time he returned with his cooked correctly, mine was cold!! And we had a toddler screaming and crying throughout dinner!! (As parents of 3, we do understand this happens, but please, after 15 minutes of non stop screaming, please take your child out!!!!)

Crystal Palace for lunch AND dinner.

We were very disappointed in the choices at the buffet, everything seemed dry or overcooked.

We tried lunch last June & were disappointed. We decided to go for the dinner for the MVMCP last December & again were disappointed.

The characters were OK, they best ones were Eeyore & Pooh.

Now we are trying Crystal Palace this June for Breakfast. I am hoping the breakfast is way better. We are going right when they open so everything should be fresh.
If not then I guess Crystal Palace will be written off our list

Hi,

I have to agree that Sci-Fi was a big disappointment. It was a nice atmosphere but the food was pretty overpriced and pretty mediocre. Plus we had a waitress who kept talking about how she was being forced to work late because the park was staying open later that she anticipated. I felt bad for her, but definately made the meal even more mediocre. It was good to do once, but not again.

I have to agree with Sci-Fi. Neat place to see, but the food was just OK. We went a second time a couple of years ago and thought the same thing......

Boma ( the spices used in the cooking just didn't do anything for me ) and Coral Reef ( nice atmosphere, but kind of an overpriced dud as far as food goes )

On our last trip we were disappointed by Marakesh. We had been there before and loved it, but last time the food was not impressive at all. We just felt the food was much more bland and boring. So we won't be going there next time. We'll try it again someday though, we love Moroccan food, when it's good...

Prime Time Cafe was our worst the last visit. The food was ok, not great. The service was ok, not really all that bubbly. The seating was horrible. They took apart a four seating table to make two two-seaters and we were stuffed between a family who kept getting up out of the booth and two other people. They had plenty of four seat tables available, but because we were just two, they stuffed us in the back. I will definitely ask for a different table if there is a next time!

While we might have had worse meals elsewhere at WDW we'll have to go with these just because we expected so much more:

1) Le Cellier for its disappointing food and atmosphere.
2) Big River Grille on Boardwalk. Overly expensive preformed, precooked burgers.


We might have hit both on "off" nights, but we won't be back.

 

[GlennandAnn]

I have a tie between Big River Grille and Whispering Canyon. I couldn't stand the smell of BRG and our food at WC was horrible. The service was also lackluster. We were there for a late lunch and there was no fun and games while we were there.

Crystal Palace. It used to be so good before they brought the characters in. The buffet choices back in the early 90's were great, even for kids. But when we ate in 1998, not realizing that there had been such significant changes made, we were really disappointed. We still remember what it was like before, and now it's not great. The character interaction wasn't too bad, but the servers were rude. We haven't been back since.
