Your Most Disappointing Restaurant

[Goofygirls4God]

I have to say though that everyone comes from such different places and backgrounds it's hard to really base anything off of opinion unless you know the person giving it. B/c some people eat regularly at super fancy classy places and others think Cracker Barrel is super fancy-you know what I mean...so,in that I will put my 2 cents out there-

our trip to eat at 1900 Park Fare was a fun experience for my girls but the buffet was so yuck when we got there-it was a later ADR and the food really looked picked over and the stuff left was dry and crusty...I think I ate a little salad and a few shrimp and a small bit of a casserole.

Given, we are going back in May for DD8th bday- but this time I went for a 4:45 ADR hopefully that will help the freshness of our experience!

We went last October, and the worst place that we had eaten at was Donald's Breakfastosaurus. The cold buffet was good, because they didn't cook anything on it. Foodwise it was awful, but characterwise it was good. The kids had fun. But the bacon was floppy, and nothing was good on the buffet line...and we had an adr for 9ish and they didn't seat us until almost 10!

Shula's was surprisingly disappointing to us. We had heard so much about it, but when we finally ate there, we weren't too big on it. Oh well, maybe that was just one bad experience.

coral reef is the only bad meal i have had at disney. the seafood was terrible, and very over priced.

Yachtsman Steak House - it was good but dissapointing as we just expected more. Too expensive for a not so special meal.

We will never eat at the Brown Derby again. The food was mediocre, the service was abysmal (yes, I let management know) and we spent over 150 dollars for lunch for 2 (with a bottle of wine). Life is too short to deal with bad food and aloof servers!

Narcosses, before the chef went to Citricos, the soup was cold and undercooked, the steak was poor, the food was generally very mediocore, the serive was abysmal and tey tried to over charge us as well.

Cape May dinner buffet. What a big waste of money.

 

[librarylady]

I agree on the Cape May Buffet. Lines were long ( with pushy people!) and seafood mediocre. The dining area was crowded and noisy too. Not a relaxing meal for the price!

I love WCC, especially when it first opened but I will admit the food was a disappointment the last time we visited (about 6 years ago).

Rainforest cafe, hate the food, hate the service, and the prices are WORSE than Disney. We went back twice more tho, just to please the kiddos. Then we finally got honest and admitted to them that it wasn't worth mom and dad's time or money. Gift shop almost makes up for it tho! LOL.

Boma's. My family liked it pretty well and I thought the food was ok. Just wasn't all this fabulous, exotic, you just have to taste it dishes. I tasted it and thought "ho hum...blah!" I might go back if I were on the dining plan but I can't justify the $90 meal otherwise.

CRT. Figured while we were on the dining plan we would at least get an opportunity to try it and say we've eatin in the castle. Food was ok...service was aweful and ambience was lacking. That tight stairwell made me feel like I was playing minature golf. Could I have squeezed into a tighter space with 10 ppl going the opposite direction? Doubt it. We had a server but we also had what looked like an ogre (not kidding) delivering our food, desserts and appys. I swear he grunted. We had to dodge everytime he slung something at us. Didn't see our original server again until it was time to collect the bill. Go figure.

Chef Mickey's. MY GAWD!!! I can't believe we ate here. I've had a better buffet at Golden Coral (my apologies to GC for making such a comparison...mabey I should have said Quincy's...no they're stellar too. Who has a crappy breakfast buffet.....oh yeah...Shoneys is even better than CM.) We were there for nearly two hours...the place was EMPTY and we still never had Mickey come to our table. In fact, I never saw him come to our side of the restuarant. Very sweet server tho...too bad she couldn't cook us up a descent breakfast while wearing a mickey suit.

My Family's ultimate favorites???
1. Le Cellier
2. Teppanyaki Dining Room
3. Ohana's ( told the server up front what we were going to need refills on ...shrimp mainly...and she brought extra bowls out to start with. By the time the skewers arrived we were happily stuffed so I don't remember if the meat was tough. Food quaility prob wasn't excellent but it was very good and service/ambiance/games made up for it).

We'll be returning to Le cellier on our next trip!! How did you guess?

PSB...really gave it a fair chance, we went 3x and everytime the food was lousy and so was the service.

Cape May dinner...very disappointed our last trip (this past Dec.), yeap, long lines and out of many items (everything dd ate!) Spent more time getting up and down trying to see if they refilled any of the stuff we wanted. Won't waste my time anymore.

1900 PK Fare dinner...another disappointment, way over-priced for their mediocre buffet, nothing out of the ordinary and characters rushed by our table.

However, strangely enough both Cape May & 1900 Pk Fare rank pretty high in our standings for breakfast, go figure...

Tony's Town Square - the food was okay, but I thought it was over priced.

 

[emma'smom]

Prime Time Cafe- The food was just so average and while the atmosphere was interesting, we had to work to get "Next Door Neighbor Billy" to do anything interesting. It just seemed like a lot of money for the same meal my mom used to make and we used to hide underneath napkins!

 

[PeterPan68]

WOW!! I'm surprised that so many chose Boma and O'hanas...Thoes two resturants are MUST DO's on every trip.
While I have never had a meal @ WDW that I thought was "terrible", I wasn't impressed with Le Cellier, L' Originale Alfredo di Roma, or Chefs de France at EPCOT. I just thought they were overpriced for the quality of food that we received.

 

[MJMcBride]

The 50s Prime Time is immensely annoying.

 

[LuvTigger]

The only Disney restaurant I've ever been dissatisfied with was Brown Derby, and it was purely because of the service (the food was great). This was on our first trip to WDW in '94, and it is still the first place I think of when I try to think of bad dining experiences. I'm sure we just had a server having a bad night, but I guess it really got etched into my mind since it was one of the meals I was looking most forward to!

I've had quite a few bad experiences at non-Disney restaurants in DD, namely House of Blues and Planet Hollywood. Again, mostly service related. And the food was just okay, so in my mind, it's not worth it to go back, although I would give Brown Derby another try since the food was excellent.

 

[Jaxs27]

Le Cellier. The food was just ok. I didn't like the cheese soup at all.

 

[MouseWorshipin]

Alfredo's. Olive Garden has better food. Couldn't really talk, as was closer to guy at next table than dining partner.

Service is fine, even if waiters - twice! - have been a little too nice, if that is possible.

I avoid that place like the plague.

I would have said Tony's, because it did stink (service aside), but can't say it was a disappointment, exactly, as I been warned by many DISers. (You can't tell me anything!)
