DINING ON THE BOARDWALK and around the Epcot Resort Area can be as fancy as you can imagine, or as casual as noshing on the real Atlantic City boards. Here’s a brief rundown of the eateries in the area, along with links to menus and reviews. (If you’d like a quick look at the restaurants in around the area, take a look at our “at a glance” table HERE.)

This 1950s-era soda shop features milkshakes, malts, sundaes, burgers, old-fashioned Egg Creams, and the humongous Kitchen Sink — 24 scoops of ice cream and every topping they have!
