You forgot about the restaurant "Chef Mickey's" at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Horrible food that was also overpriced.
got sick from the shrimp there too
Oh yeah, stay away from the shrimp at all the buffets. I think it's a frozen product that is thawed but not served cold enough.
Chef Mickeys was HORRIBLE when we went in December
Bluezoo was great pre-pandemic. They’ve returned as a shell of their former self. They used to have seafood towers, a “dancing fish” which was an awesome whole fish. Last time I went it was completely different…I got a burger…sad face
That stinks
That fire drill reminded us of our dinner at Liberty Tree Tavern. A month ago while we were enjoying our meal we had just finished our salad basically when the fire alarm went of, and we all had to go outside and wait until the firemen cleared it.. Took about 20 to 30 minutes but anyways it got cleared we all went back in. At the end the waitress came and said your bill has been taken care off. This crew was so professional during the alarm and clearing everything up before we re-entered .Kudos to them!!!!
Wow, that’s really cool. Good for them
1) Shocked The Edison made this list. Please go early when it’s not busy. Their burgers aren’t the best but the aps are great and the desserts are 11/10.
2) But even more shocking, Maria & Enzo’s didn’t make this list?!? The only way I can see it getting (barely) above 3.5 is if you are rating out of 10.
STK steak house very expensive and I felt like I was in Las Vegas club with my kid
I live here and as a frequent disney visitor/diner I think the list is generally right. Victoria & Albert’s deserves to make the list. That was all form and no substance and I felt burgled when I left. Maria & Enzo’s and 50s primetime probably belong on the list as well. Il Mulino is also god awful.
Well done guys! I love the new categories with the dining reviews, thanks for all your help.
Glad you like them!
I have to agree with most of this list, nice job! We took my two kids to Space 220 and spent nearly $500 on lunch, just insane. And the views are so negatively affected by the lighting in that place, it causes glare on the windows and really ruins the effect.
$500. Yeah, I just can’t do it
so sad!!
I tried and tried to get a reservation at Space 220 for dinner. Finally talked to CM Nick who got me in, about two weeks ago. The WORST meal I have had at WDW ever. Seafood was dry, yet salty and bitter at the same time. The family next to us didn't finish more than a bite or two, and refused a take-away box. Drinks were OK...but too sweet. Bar/lounge has been terrific, though.
Good to know. Looking forward to checking out the lounge there
I hate when they place tables near a server's station. This happened to us at La Hacienda and we never went back. It was so offputting. The food would have to floor me and it wasn't really good.
Planet Hollywood is a place we won't go back!! Worse food and service! I would like to see more videos like this! I enjoy your dining reviews! We are heading to WDW in June, hope to see you in the park!
Thank you! Will do!
We had a Space 220 reservation for 2 for hubby and daughter in the Lounge (couldn't get 3 for that day). I was able to score 3 in Space 220 Lounge at the end of trip, but after the 1st reservation (hubby and daughter wasn't impressed enough to want to go back), so we just cancelled it.
Thanks for sharing!
The bad news is, ‘Ohana didn’t make your top 10 ‘best’ restaurants. The good news is, ‘Ohana also didn’t make you bottom 10 ‘worse’ restaurants. So, ‘Ohana is floating around your La-La-Land list.
Haha, indeed. It’s toward the top though. Maybe top 15
We had the worst experience there
Bring back the original Ohana!!!
I LOVED 'Ohana!!!
It's the price that does me in. We're from the Northeast and good Asian is in abundance. It also costs much less and is much better than what I can get at Ohana.
Never go to space 220 again, it was bad for the price
Thanks for your tireless research on this unfortunate topic.
I guess the "newness" of many Disney World restaurants has worn off long ago.
I'm amazed that parents get pulled into spending boatloads of money in themed restaurants, just because they have kids.
Thanks again!
😂😂 I mean someone has to do it 😂
As a DVC/ap member we get discounts at many restaurants. That discount doesn’t begin to make the meals at many restaurants worth the price. Disney has become overpriced and less quality/quantity for most of their restaurants. The downfall started during the covidiot era. Example is Prime Time Cafe. We always loved going there because it was a fun themed restaurant. After Covid the staff weren’t performing the same “acts” and the food has gone down. Like I said Disney is all about collecting as much money from their guests as they can get. I agree about Rainforest Cafe. Very cool theming The food was good a few years ago and “volcano” desert was fun with sparklers, not so much now, no sparklers. Overpriced always. Quantity of food is there, but wasted, you can’t take a to go bag if you intend on walking around so, IMo, less food lower prices there. Steakhouse 71 is a really good restaurant
We ate at the Coral Reef, once. The aquarium was the only real positive. The food was good but not great. The noise level was migraine inducing. With all the hard surfaces in there, the noise was unbearable. I'm glad we satisfied out curiosity but, we won't be back.
Same as our experience.
Appreciate this video. It’s always good to get an honest opinion. I would love to see a “most overrated” list. I vote for California Grill as #1 on that list.
Love this idea
I’m defense of these opinions… almost any restaurant can give a particular dining party a great experience. They luckily get a great server, pick the best entree on the menu, and everything just falls into place. What makes a restaurant great or bad is how consistently that restaurant replicates its goodness or badness over time. That’s why it’s such a good idea to read a lot of reviews. Then you can decide what the probability is if you’re having a good or bad experience. Thanks for this review. Loved it.
Totally agree, thank you
Terralina is by far the worst restaurant on property. Food and service was horrible. Would rather eat quick service.
Space220 was the best meal of our trip in January 2024. Yes it was way overpriced so I won’t go there too often but I will go back!
Same! Also January 24!
We thought Space 220 was great. Not planning on going often but overall a great experience.
Glad you liked it!
We’ve eaten at Space 220 twice, both were delicious BUT the last time we went we had steak and I wanted to lick the plate it was so good!!!
Is it very pricey yes..is it a place to go back frequently, no because of the cost.
Do you remember what you had?
Summerhouse is over priced and unexciting in my opinion. Cinnamon roll was great……that was it.
Absolutely agree with Space 220. The food, while not terrible, was not outstanding. The theming was OK but for over $100 a person after tax on average I expected so much more. If you're reading this do yourself a favor, spend half the money and do Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue!
We’ve done it. You’re right, we enjoyed it much more than Space 220
I agree with everything except Space 220, however, it is overpriced. I guess that we were lucky, our server was fantastic. The food was good, not great but it was definitely better than T-Rex or Rainforest.
T-Rex and rainforest are owned by the same company. Oddly they also own my favorite restaurant : yak and yeti. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I’ve gone dozens of times…dozens of the higher end restaurants with the exception of Victoria & Albert’s because I’m not an idiot, and…
In general, the food on WDW property is horrible. Even their best restaurants struggle to reach mediocre.
I ain’t no culinary snob, but come on. Anyone who lives in ANY urban or suburban environment can find much better restaurants a few blocks away, for less than half the price.
It really is an embarrassment and stain on Disney’s reputation, and they have enough stains as it is.
In addition to the quality of the restaurants at Disney, many of the people who go to Disney do not know how to eat, they talk with their mouths full, they shake their cutlery while eating, they pick their teeth, etc. it is really uncomfortable sometimes the lack of manners of many people .
Not really a place to eat, but the drinks at Olga's Canteen are disgusting. However loved the themeing, just stick with beer 😉
I think Maria & Enzo's - directly across from STK - has got to be in the discussion for this list. Went there in December and was not at all impressed.
STK used to be better. I went there ~8 months ago and the food was better and the portions were larger. If you've been there recently they've definitely skimped out and raised the prices.
Completely disagree with Space 220. Theming was excellent. Food was fine (at least in 2023). Not a must for me, but nowhere near the bottom.
Oh, I totally agree with Space 220. Extremely overpriced for quality of food and I felt the screens to be a bit boring. Not enough activity in space. I had the Space-ghetti and shrimp like Leslie did. Yuck!! We went for lunch and a lot of people were getting burgers I kept saying to my husband, that's a 50.00 burger. No thank you.
Il Mulino was pretty bad....Chef Boyardee would have been better
Agree completely with Space220 being at the bottom. We went on the 50th anniversary not too long after it opened. Food was very bad. Group of 6 so we tried different things. Duck compote was not edible. Chicken tasted like it was boiled in water not grilled - no seasoning. Fish lacked seasoning. Apps were underwhelming. For the price you would think they could do a lot better. We wont even go to the bar now. To top it off, service took like 2.5 hours. So much potential. Honestly this place would be better off serving an applebees menu. I dont intend to try again till its no longer pri fixe.
My family was at Summer House in February, really disappointed. The cookies were not as wonderful as everyone talks about. It was really loud, crowded, and I agree about the space, my chair was getting bumped a lot. Then, the food came out. I received the wrong order and my entire table finished before I even received my food. Disney Springs is expensive in general but this place was really expensive. I really wanted to like this place. It was beautiful.
100% agree with the Space200 rating. Great video!
Fun video, thanks much. COral Reef actually "used" to be really great....seemed to have fade over the past 8-10 years.
Todd English restaurant is at the Dolphin
Great video! The lounge at Space 220 is definitely the way to go. You can experience the theming without having to drop so much on average food. Our group had the the short rib sliders, deviled eggs and calamari were all good. I would say its a one and done, but we were very happy with the experience because we didn't spend $80 per head.
Looking forward to trying it
I haven’t dined at any of the places you covered but enjoyed your views on each one!! The fire drill seemed very unprofessional of the system that ran the drill - almost unforgivable of the fire department!😂😂😂
Would love to see you guys do lounge reviews!
Can’t wait!
I ate at rainforest cafe a couple of months ago and I had the beef nachos yummy 😋
Have to say when we went to the Lounge it was fun and our server was fab although food was ok, so we didn’t pay for the restaurant. The one huge issue we had was how dirty the restrooms were. So much so my teenage daughter said in a really loud voice. “Don’t they have cleaners in space!”. Worst and overpriced meal I had at WDW was Ohana, such a bad experience at Dinner, I cancelled our breakfast reservation. Love your channel guys. Tania
Thank you!
Totally agree about the Space 220 bathrooms - I was there last week and they were filthy! It’s not a Disney-owned restaurant, so their standards must not be as good.
You missed nothing at ‘Ohana breakfast. One of the most disappointing character breakfasts we’ve had (and I’m very forgiving - I love character meals)!!
I would add Beast Castle and Story book dining. Beautiful restaurants. Terrible food.
Agreed on Space 220. My wife and I went there last month on our honeymoon, and we were shocked by how rude the service was and how expensive it was for the quality of food we got.
I have to say, one of the best meals I have ever had at Disney was at Coral Reef. Granted we had a table right by the glass and I have heard it is very hit-or-miss there depending on the day you go. The worst meal I have ever had at WDW was at T-Rex, so fully agree with you there. Go for my dino loving son, but I think in the future I'll eat at Polite Pig first and then just order an appetizer or nosh on bread at T-Rex as it was never great, but last time was inedible.
Haha, polite pig first is a great idea
Wow, kudos to you both for calling out the worst restaurant at Disney and helping us all to save our money.
in august 2023, we ate in the space 220 lounge. It was TERRIBLE. As your friends said, everything was overpriced and just so so. But worst of all, both my friend and i were sick after eating there (ie lots of time spent in the bathroom). Theming was great, food was not. Never going back. No possibility of redemption.
Oof, that’s not pleasant
I agree with almost everything you said. Been to STK a few times, WAY overpriced, WAY to loud. So many better options than BlueZoo, Coral Reef hasn't been good for 20 years. Paradiso should be better, based on size and location, but it's worse than applebees. Edison, cool atmosphere, so-so service and crappy food. Glad I haven't wasted my money on Space 220. Love your reviews!
Thanks! Agree about Paradiso too. It should be better
Jaw dropped upon hearing about Space 220. I always wanted to go there (lounge only, not the prefix thing; I'd hate to spend 3 hours in one restaurant at a theme park). The chicken and waffles + the desserts look great. I cant speak about the drinks because I'm only 18, but I really hope you guys find comfort at the lounge. I'm sorry about the experience you guys had :(
Same thing for STK, also always wanted to go there for the wings and calamari. The inside looks super nice! Each to their own, and I'm sorry about the experiences you had, genuinely.
We enjoy all of these reviews, some just aren’t as good as others :). Hope you get to experience them both!
That was fun! Wish I had friends here while I watched so we could make it a drinking game. Kept trying to think ahead to which restaurant was next. Thanks for sharing!
😂😂😂
Blue Zoo was the worst experience I’ve had at WDW so far
I dislike your rings. How does that feel? To be criticized? Codfish.
😂😂 what? I’m so confused?! I could care less if you like my rings, but what does “codfish” mean?
How is Chef Mickeys not on this list?
Off topic question... im doing a 4 day trip labor day weekend but doing zero parks. Um going to visit every hotel on property and try to hit up every lounge there is. The lounges like Bluezoo lounge and il mulino lounge.... can i just waltz in there and sit at bar and have a cocktail? Is it connected to the a tual restaurant? If u guys wanted to dine somewhere I would buy.... just saying lol
Yes, you can. Actually, a lot of people just go in and sit at the bar bc they’re used to having business travelers for conventions. And yes, both are inside of the restaurants at the front as you walk in.
We had a good time at space 220 a couple years ago. Good meal, like the theme for the kids. Kids loved it but looking at your meal, I totally understand the rating you gave it with the buttered noodles. Clearly not everyone has the same experience.
True
Space 220 is awful 💯
Omg you talk too much. It doesn’t take a century to list the top 10 wrost restaurants.
lol, thanks for watching 😂
In fairness, 8 out of 10 of these are third party restaurant not owned or operated by Disney World.
But some of the best restaurants on Disney Property are also third party
Thank you for this video. I strongly agree with your Space 220 review. It was the worst. We were so excited to eat there and actually rearranged our park reservations to be able to dine there. Our appetizers we inedible. My husband got a salad that tasted rotten. How do you make a salad taste rotten. The entrees were ok? But for the money, I expected them to be better than okay. I tell everyone to avoid it. I agree the atmosphere is very cool, but its still not worth your time and money.
🤢 🤢🤢
Love the videos and podcast! The podcast makes my trek into work so much more enjoyable. I'm going in October with my in-laws and I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks for doing Disney with seniors and using DAS pass. Thanks!
Thanks so much! We’ve not personally used DAS pass, so no specific tricks other than Disney’s guidelines. As far as parks with seniors, we like going to the same parks and scheduling one or two things (like a table service meal) through the day and then being able to do our own thing or tour together based on how we all feel
Oh thank goodness someone agrees with space 220! It’s awful and needs a revamp sooooo badly! 😢
We definitely think they could do more with it
Please add Wine Bar George to your brunch reviews ❤
Done 😎
Summer House on the Lake is ok. Food is average. The setting is really good it’s chill, but it’s nothing special
I agree with your choices 100% and have been to all but TRex….well done
Thank you!
Space220, is amazing for the lounge. I’ve never been to the full menu portion, but I love the lounge area and talking to space Christopher.
My first visit at Space 220 was fantastic all around. Went back 1 year later and it was terrible. They decreased the quality of the drinks - I sent two back, and the overall food and service quality went down substantially. $200 for lunch. Never again. Yachtsman is the worst experience I’ve ever had at Disney, though.
It's all subjective. The Wife and I have eaten at California Grill twice. Sucked both times. Cost to quality was not there. Service was bad. We will never return. I am sure others were happy with Cali Grill, but it is not for us. We have also dined at Victoria and Albert's. That place is off the hook! The food was amazing. Service was at another level. The only drawback is price. It is worth it for very special occasions. Some of the best food is at Quick Service and Quick Casual locations.
I'm going to add to what I already commented on after our recent trip. Please go back to Summer House on the Lake. We went there for lunch a couple of weeks ago and loved it. The restaurant is beautiful as you mentioned and our service was top notch. We ordered the potato salad deviled eggs (best deviled eggs I've ever had) and the tuna / watermelon tostadas (seriously a perfect bite of food) as appetizers. For our entrees we both ordered salads and they were delicious but huge. Next time we will just split one. Afterwards we ordered a bunch of cookies as our son and his girlfriend were joining us in a few days. We took a few bites and then just stuck them away for the kids. Gideon's watch out! These cookies were good!!! And the stayed good for days. And you don't have to wait in a ridiculous line to get them and we all thought they were better than Gideon's. Please go back.
Did you watch today’s video?
I did! I'm so glad you guys tried it again and liked it. We differ on the tuna tostadas and that's OK - different strokes for different folks. It's funny, as I didn't have this restaurant on my radar after several less than stellar reviews including yours. But then right before our trip my husband who never asks for anything when it comes to Disney and just defers to our son and I as the "Disney family experts" said he wanted to try it. So I grabbed a reservation on Open Table and we just loved it. This is a great addition to Disney Springs and we will be back. @@AddictedtotheMouse
Agree 220 the worse. Pricey. Food eh. My when u look into space window u see all the exit signs. The elevator ride was cool. I was the lounge. Was so disappointed
Agree with you on so many. Coral Reef was good a hundred years ago, no more. And when the aquarium is dirty it's absolutely awful. Rainforest yuk. Blue Zoo Never appealed to us. Not many in Disney Springs we like. I can't think of any that are outstanding. Terralina Crafted I'd walk right out of before we even started with that noise, rude! Boy, after your reviews not much at the Springs sounds good. Limited choices and the prices at all of them are awful. So many cost $100 for 2 and we don't drink alcohol! We've been going to Disney for more than 20 years and it's so disappointing that many (most) restaurants have been on a bobsled going down fast. The Springs we thought would elevate the park offerings but they all seem the same, expensive and a scoop of an old casserole for your starch or vegetable, choice of 1 or possibly 2 beef, 1 chicken, 1 seafood (usually salmon I don't like and it's cheap compared to shrimp, lobster etc) maybe a pork and one vegetarian. The ones that used to have good meals in the parks and resorts have all switched to fast, cold, dried up and not edible. Even restaurants that used to give you a roll on the table charge for it now.
I had to laugh when I heard your comments on the Edison. My husband and I decided to eat there on one of our trips two years ago. We walked into an almost empty cavernous space. Took a while for the hostess to seat us. Once at the table we looked at the menu for a little while, then a while longer, and a while longer. After about 5 minutes of no one acknowledging us in any way, we got up and left. When a place is really busy and you can tell the wait staff is hustling to keep up, I have a good deal of sympathy. But when there’s only 3 or 4 other occupied tables, that kind of wait is unacceptable.
I just found you guys. I pretty much agree with most of your list. I have not tried 3 that you mentioned. However, the only place I will go back to, and have been to many times, is Rainforest Cafe. I go there to bring kids who love it. And the only thing I get there is the Ceasar Salad.
Thank you for giving a restaurant review. I'll have to check back to see if you have done food reviews and what else you have experienced.
The lounge at Space served some of our favorite STRONG drinks. Apps were yummy imho. We enjoyed it. But I agree with most of the others.
Regarding the Rainforest café, we don't get anything like this in the UK 🇬🇧 so when we come to the US it's our little escapism. Loving your vlogs guys, thank you 😊
The one thing I have just learned to accept is that most people only like average food. And Disney has that in spades because that is what an average person wants. People who love good food know where to go.
You left out the most over priced and with its reopening the most uninspired menu. The service was only average last fall we went for our 22nd visit to this restaurant and at almost $1600.00 for 2 people this place for the first time was a total disappointment. They need to rethink the menu, and the service. The restaurant is Victoria and Albert’s.
I had my first rainforest café in a shopping mall too! Towson, Maryland
We do want delicious food but we enjoy the Disney dining experiences. ❤ 🏰 We liked 1990 Park Fare w Mary Poppins. ♥️
I really like Terralina Crafted Italian in Disney Springs. Been there a few times and it’s always consistent. Nice views too.
We enjoy Rainforest Cafe. Pls do reviews sometimes not based on alcohol drinks. Thx for your ideas. 😊Its good to see all the restaurants. ❤️ 💙 🌟
STK is my number one. I hated my experience there. It was the worst $300 I have ever spent.
Love it…I knew number 1 was gonna be lol. Please tell me you all will break from QS and do 1900 fare park I need a review to decide if we keep resy in May
I enjoy your blogs! Thanks for what you are doing!
You are so welcome!
I agree with Space 220. We have not done the prix fixed menu (nor are we going to), but we did try the lounge a few months ago. We were not impressed. The drinks and food are very mid level and way overpriced. We weren't even that impressed with the big screens. We were in there for a while (service was slow) and after 30 minutes or so it just was repeating things. One and done for sure!
When I left T-Rex. I was angry. Food was horrible and the service was poor. I paid for that?
T-Rex : What a noisy experience! Rainforest our reservation was made but we were at our table almost 2 hours later. But the African stew was tasty.
I hated STK. I live in Boston. And just found out they are opening one in downtown Boston don't think I will be going when they open.
Some people have a good time wherever and whenever, and some just don't
Sci-fi drive in needs to be on everyone’s top 10 worst list! 🤮
1000000% agree with you on your review of Space 220!
The food at T Rex is awful. The only worse meal we’ve had was at Tony’s.
Please, you take too long to introduce each restaurant
Disagree with Terralina. We went there in November and enjoyed it alot.
The ribeye at space 220 is fantastic. Try it again. It’s very good
Maybe I'm just missing something, but are your rated restaurants pulled from EVERY location, or only table service restaurants? Because if you're ranking restaurants like Space 220 as the worst, that would mean you are saying that every quick service / counter service place is better than that which I find to be confusing and problematic. I guess everyone has their own opinions. =)
These are just table service restaurants
I was just at Space220 and could not agree with you more! I never thought in a million years it would make the worst restaurant list! It was a waste of time, money and food. No taste, not worth the price and even the experience was overrated. You literally stare at a black screen for the whole meal (tasteless meal) NOT WORTH IT.
Sorry…we wanted to like it too
New subscribers and pretty much have to agree with your top 10. Haven't been to a couple on your worst list so appreciate the advice to stay away (bluezoo and turf club). We feel like finding the one or two things that a place doees really well is the key to happiness while dining in The World - for instance Summer House has better appetizers than entrees. Hmmm, I wonder if anyone has gone down to that level for reviews?
Absolutely agree. Thanks for watching!
Space 220 was one of the best meals I've had at WDW in a long time. The ribeye might be my favorite steak on property now.
Maybe the redemption will come through🤷♂️. I don’t know though, I’ve heard so many people say they hated it…
Ive been to Summerhouse on the Lake 3 times and didnt like the food either time. I want to like it because it’s so beautiful and the ambiance is great , but the food & drinks were subpar & overpriced to me. The other restaurant that I wanted to like, but didn’t, was Eet. Indian food is my favorite cuisine. I had one bite of the food and couldnt eat it. Fortunately Orlando has a lot of authentic Indian restaurants outside the Disney bubble.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
When you go to the Edison you need to just sit at the bar. Bartenders are awesome and I've never been charged for a smoked cocktail. Food is okay, great burger though
Might try that sometime
