Which restaurant has better food?

[Marissa227]

I would choose Yak & Yeti. My family enjoys Skipper Canteen when we are in MK, but I wouldn't make a special trip just for that.

We like both, but Y&Y gets the nod for us because we can get free Landry's gift cards with our Discover cash back. So it's a free meal for us.

If you're looking for a unique dining experience, you might want to check out the Pont Dining Room. While it may not be the first restaurant that comes to mind, it's a great spot that offers a relaxed atmosphere and diverse menu options that cater to various tastes. Whether you're looking for a casual bite or a more refined meal, the choices there can fit the mood.

Thanks, where is this located?

We like both of those options. Note that AK closes earlier than MK so your preferred dining time might dictate which works better for your day. I would not travel to MK or AK just for one of those restaurants though.

You'll be OK at either place. The theming at Yak & Yeti really fits in with the Expedition Everest attraction, while the Skipper Canteen pays homage to the Jungle Cruise.

At Y&Y, the Fried Wontons dessert was memorable, and the Orinoco Ida's Cachapas at SC are authentic Venezuelan cuisine. Delicious!

Hi all. Which restaurant would you suggest for dinner one night - Skipper Canteen or Yak n Yeti? We have a 2 year old with us. We will be spending the day at AK and then either leaving to go to MK or staying at AK. Which of the two restaurants would you recommend? Thank you so much!

I recently had a very good burger and fries at Yak n Yeti! In the past I've had pasta and salads. I recommend it.

Never ate at Skipper's Canteen.

I can only speak for Yak & Yeti. We loved it. We plan on dining there again when we go to Disney later this year.

We enjoy both and had many good meals at both. They are very different restaurants. I would look at the menu and decide which you like better. Also, which park will you be at? I wouldn't travel to a different park for either one of the reataurants.

We will be at AK that day. The park closes early so thought about hopping to MK in evening. Its either we do Yak n Yeti lunch or Skipper dinner.

For a 2 year old I might put rainforest cafe in the mix. Yak and yeti is fine but nothing special, and personally I find it a bit salty. Food at RC is of similar quality (ie chain food and highly processed) but the kiddo would have more to look at.

No need to leave AK to go to MK just for dinner. Heck, if you were going to leave and go somewhere else I might take the opportunity to go to AKL for dinner instead because you are already on that side of the property.

I'm intrigued... is there any places you find on property that aren't highly processed? (or at least better than others)

Apparently it's not the greatest to many, but i LOVE it and can't imagine not going every single trip, you should try it, if only for the bread. lol

Yak & Yeti without a doubt. It’s my favorite restaurant on property!

 

[mistysue]

We made a trip just so I could get dinner at Skipper Canteen for my birthday... so I have an obvious favorite.

We've done Y&Y many times and it's always been fine, but their options for our particular allergies and food restrictions aren't as great.

If you're looking for fresh seafood and perfectly cooked steaks, I'd go with the first option. Their portions are generous, and the flavors are always spot on. Last time, I had their grilled salmon, and it was cooked just right—crispy outside, tender inside. If you're ever in Australia, restaurants Surfers Paradise have some great spots with ocean views and amazing seafood, which kind of reminds me of the quality here.
