Hands down the rudest staff of any restaurant at the park. It was my first time using mobile order and the staff was demeaning to me about how the process worked. I was told to "figure it out" and return later.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Rude staff.

Stopped in here around 10pm for a late dinner. Got two "specialty" burgers that were topped with Tilamook cheddar, pulled pork, frizzled onions and a bbq mayo, sounds good right?? Blechkkk! The burger was dark grey/black, dry and sooo very tasteless. The pork was dry, the onions were old and greasy and the touted Tilamook was barely detectable. You would think that at least the bbq mayo would give it some moisture and flavor, nope! The 1/2 a teaspoon or so that was visible on the crummy bun was just not enough to even begin to redeem this burger. At almost $12 GASP-arillas should really be ashamed. Fries were fine, cupcake was also.

Pros:

nice dining area

Cons:

food was awful

This review is sad for me to write. Pre-2020-closure, this was a great choice. The food is definitely not the same. The burgers now taste steamed. The pizza (flatbread, whatever it is now) is just blah. The breakfast was pretty much the same, so that was nice. It's just sad now how Disney cost-cutting has affected this once-great restaurant. We ended up going over to Captain Cooks or ordering room service for the rest of our meals when staying at the resort after giving Gasparilla a couple tries during this last trip.

Pros:

It's there.

Cons:

The food is sad now.

Food & service is good - dining area needs to be updated - seemed older, somewhat dingy - for Disney's flagship resort, the fact that they have the arcade right in the dining area is appalling! Very loud - distracts kids as you are trying to get them to eat - need to house arcade games in another area to allow for more seating options & relaxing dining environment (often too hot or too many birds around to eat outside) Was pleasantly surprised with take out pizza -

Pros:

food is good

Cons:

atmosphere

We stayed at the GF Villas, and ate at Gasparilla multiple times. I’ll break down what was good and not so good at each meal. At all points, it was clean and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Breakfast- Coffees were great- we ordered Caramel Macchiatos every morning. The croissant sandwiches were really good and Mickey waffles were too. I’d recommend for breakfast.

Lunch/Dinner- the burgers are just ok. Typical CS burger. The chicken/Brie sandwich is delicious- I recommend that. The kids’ Mac and cheese side is ridiculous. $4 for a tiny cup of Mac and when I say tiny, I mean like the size of a cup of oil/vinegar with a hoagie. The pizza was typical CS pizza.

Pros:

Great staff, clean, good breakfast- croissant sandwiches and waffles, specialty coffees, Chicken & Brie sandwich

Cons:

Burgers and pizza just ok, tiny Mac and Cheese for $4 (stay away!)

My friend and I ate here for lunch on 8/19 after a morning at the GF pool. I ordered the cheese flatbread and a dish of soft serve ice cream. He had the Grand Gaspy Burger. I was pleased to see that they had expanded and re-done the seating area since the last time I visited; it looks much nicer now.

The cashier charged me for a chicken caesar salad rather than what I had ordered, but I didn't notice until after I had sat down. It was only a $1.50 difference so I didn't complaint, but that was a bit annoying.

Burger and pizza were good.

Pros:

Good flatbread and burger, revamped seating area

Cons:

Cashier charged me too much for wrong item

We grabbed a snack here on the evening of September 12, 2016. We like to tour the monorail resorts on our first night, so we popped in and shared a Cuban panini with cucumber salad. Very flavorful and plenty for me and my hubby.

The best part about this little gem is the view of Cinderella's castle from your table. You don't have to pay the big bucks to have a nice, relaxing view.

Pros:

Nice view

Cons:

None

DH and I ate here a few times during our recent stay. For breakfast, he had a side order of scrambled eggs and toast (generous portions!) and I had the kids' Mickey waffles which was really good. Dinner one night was a hot dog for him which was fine, and I had the salad with flank steak which was excellent. It was never crowded in there, and we easily found tables and could refill our mugs without waiting.

Pros:

Food was excellent!

Cons:

Great qs option at the posh GF resort! We enjoyed the variety and that most everything is still made to order. We enjoyed the pizzas, the strombolis, the create your own salad option, and the breakfast options are great!

Pros:

variety

Cons:

none

I made a trip over from the MK by boat to have a quiet lunch and it was great.
I tried the Cuban sandwich on 10/8 which was very good. The dining area was nice and air conditioned on a hot day and I was able to sit and relax for a while without the crowds of the park and with better food.

Pros:

Food and dining area

Cons:

none
