Ranking ALL the Restaurants of Magic Kingdom!

15. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe

Score: 6.87

“We had dinner here a couple of weeks ago and enjoyed it. I got the Greek Salad with Chicken Strips and my husband got Walt’s Chili-Cheese All-Beef Footlong Hot Dog. The salad was fresh and crispy while the chicken strips were pretty good as well. My husband enjoyed the chili hot dog, too! We enjoyed listening to Sonny Eclipse while we ate. Inside was a welcome break from the rain that day and there was plenty of seating.”

“The food is somewhere between the quality of a Dairy Queen and a Wendy’s– it’s fast food in an amusement park, but the portion sizes are large. Bonus: The air conditioning is a nice escape from a hot Magic Kingdom day and it’s huge so you can almost always snag a table.”

“We love Cosmic Rays! We eat here every time we come! Are you getting 5 star food, nope but its still pretty tasty. My kids LOVE Sunny and we always sit by him so the kids are be entertained!”

“The food is nothing extraordinary, but if you’re looking for an entertaining meal, and you’re in Tomorrowland, this is the place to go. I enjoy their fries, but otherwise, this is just your typical quick service restaurant.”

14. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe

Score: 6.97

“I want to say that I hated this meal; but I can’t. Magic kingdom didn’t have a lot to chose from and I feel we chose right. You can customize your meal as much as you want and the food is ok. Tastes about the same as tacos and nachos you make at home. There wasn’t a lot of seating. And I wish the topping bar comes back soon.”

13. Tony’s Town Square

Score: 7.03

“Visited during Marathon week. Tony’s is the only MK restaurant with outdoor dining. We used the genie app to get on the walk up list right when they opened and got a message that our table was ready within 5 minutes. We asked for outdoor seating, which took another 10 minutes or so. It was a great option. We had fresh air and a direct view of the character floats that came through Town Square. The Dapper Dans sing from the RR station, and the characters came out on the RR platform for several showings. And the food is great! The meatless meatballs are delicious – couldn’t tell from the real thing.”

“So I know Tony’s gets a lot of hate for being basic, mediocre Italian food, but it’s a must do for my family. Every trip that my family has gone since Disney reopened from the pandemic we have eaten at Tony’s for specifically one dish… the salmon. Now this dish isn’t on the menu but is considered a “special” but it’s been a special for 3 years now so I would say it’s safe to say it’s pretty much a standard dish at the restaurant. So it’s a delicious salmon that is sautéed with garlic and spinach over top of polenta. The polenta is much creamier and more buttery than traditional polenta. The bread is also very delicious especially if you dip it in olive oil. I’ve never had terrible service at Tony’s minus a long wait before getting to our table.”

“The food was much better than expected based on reviews. We all enjoyed our easy meal and a chance to cool off and relax during a Magic Kingdom day.”

12. Pinocchio Village Haus

Score: 7.15

“I ate here for lunch yesterday at MK, and the food was awesome! Yes, the quick service food is pretty simple (flatbread, chicken nuggets, etc.) But, that is what’s good. I also like that there are tables that look over “it’s a small world.”

“The pizza does the job if you want something quick. Definitely go at off peak dining times. Mobile order as soon as you get in the park. (Consider that the standard advice for all parks).”

“Really enjoyed the flatbread pizza. You get a good amount of food for the price.”

11. Casey’s Corner

Score: 7.23

“Casey’s is a classic! We love to get our order and sit on the hub grass if it’s open. Corn dog nuggets are the obvious winner here – light and crispy and delicious, but don’t sleep on the vegan slaw dog! We are not vegan but it looked interesting so we tried it and it did not disappoint. So flavorful! Messiest thing I’ve eaten so far, but still very good 🙂”

“Casey’s Corner is an AMERICAN TREASURE. If you’re not enjoying some corn dog nuggets and plastic cheese in front of the castle, I’m not sure you actually visited The Magic Kingdom. In all seriousness, it can get a bit crowded but if you’re into this cuisine it’s worth the wait and a quintessential Magic Kingdom dining experience. Food is always hot and fresh and staff is friendly. And hot dogs aren’t the only things Casey’s Corner is serving up – the pianist outside serves up classic bops throughout the day. Good food, great atmosphere with a solid dose of nostalgia. What more could you ask for?!”

“This is not my favorite place to eat in Magic Kingdom, let alone WDW. I do like their fries and corn dog nuggets, as well as the plastic cheese sauce. I’m not a big hot dog fan so I don’t prefer this restaurant over some of the other Magic Kingdom favorites. The theming is cool, retro baseball but there isn’t much seating inside. It’s a good option for those who like hot dogs and fries, but if you’re looking for something different this is not the option for you”

10. Crystal Palace

Score: 7.43

“This was our first time there. We had heard mixed reviews but wanted to try it anyway. It lived up to its mediocre reviews. Very limited selection, overpriced, food was not fresh. Prime rib was thinly sliced and mostly fat. Broccoli was smothered in dried out cheese. Shrimp creole and Indian chickpea dishes were ok. Overall disappointing.”

“We had lunch at Crystal Palace in early November. The buffet was very good, prime rib was excellent, they had peel and eat shrimp that were well cooked along with grits, tri-colored carrots, and a well-stocked salad bar. The dessert bar was underwhelming. The food is good, but we came for the experience. It was our grandson’s first Magic Kingdom trip, he absolutely loved it. Since he is a huge Winnie the Pooh fan, Crystal Palace was a natural choice. The best thing about our lunch was the cast members. Everyone, waiters, check in folks and the characters were absolutely awesome. We took about 100 pictures. I would recommend Crystal Palace for the character experience and the excellent cast members.”

“We visited in January for the first time, the service was outstanding! The food was good but nothing special, we did however love the brisket and the apple cobbler. We found a little overpriced for what they offered. We would go back but just so I could meet tigger.”

9. Plaza Restaurant

Score: 7.58

“The Plaza Restaurant serves up tasty food, has attentive staff, yet is very loud. This restaurant has a constant flow of people due to its proximity to Main Street so don’t go in expecting a relaxing atmosphere. If you’re able to snag a table against a wall, the sound may not be as bad as sitting directly in the middle but it’s still pretty overwhelming.”

“We came here for breakfast. I had the lobster eggs benedict which was fantastic (like 7/10) and my spouse had the mickey waffles which were ok but not really special (would be great for littles though). We may have to try another meal here I’m not sure breakfast is the best option. The service was great though and I had a good view of main st. to people watch and see the passing parade. The mirrors around the restaurant were a little weird and uncomfortable.”

“Amazing restaurant! We ate lunch and had a view of the castle from the comfort of our air conditioned table. Also had the best free birthday dessert of anywhere I’ve eaten (a GIANT slice of chocolate cake). We have a member of our party with celiac disease and she had no problem finding a delicious meal at this restaurant.”

8. Be Our Guest

Score: 7.58

“The cast members were wonderful! We were late for our reservation because the monorail was not running and the restaurant is at the back of the magic kingdom. The cast members were so friendly and they didn’t blink at our late arrival. That being said the dinner felt very rushed. The food was ok but not worth the price. The dining room was loud and very distracting from a nice date. Worth going once to try it out.”

“I was delightfully surprised by the quality of the food when I went for dinner there this past September. The portions were perfect sizes, especially for a 3 course menu. The only thing I didn’t like was the pacing of the meal. I know this is one of the most in-demand restaurants in Magic Kingdom, if not all of WDW, so I know they need to get people in and out for the meals as fast as they can. However, when you’re paying the higher price tag for the meal, it should be more of a relaxing experience.”

“We had a blast at this restaurant! The atmosphere was incredible and the food was actually pretty dang good! The dessert was the best part! It was so good and the kids option was a lot of fun! Beast came out a few times and waved too. You can’t go wrong with this restaurant, it is definitely NOT a one time and done kind of place!”

7. Skipper Canteen

Score: 7.85

“One of the best dining experiences inside Magic Kingdom. The menu is unique and the staff is fun as well as the decor. I wish Magic Kingdom had more dining like this.”

“I wish the rating for this restaurant was higher. It was my first ever dining experience in WDW and it was honestly the best! I still have dreams about the Perkins Thai Noodles as well as the dessert. While there are definitely some adventurous eats on the menu I can assure you that everything will taste delicious.”

“This is great, anti-theme park food. It’s probably a little too \”out there\” for some picky eaters, but when you reach the park of your trip where another hamburger seems like a death wish this is a great place to go and have some actual food. Plus, they really ham up all the kitch from the Jungle Cruise. The inside is themed so well, and the AC is always blasting.”

6. Cinderella’s Royal Table

Score: 7.94

“We really enjoyed our dinner, the characters were interactive and spent time at the table chatting. Our server was excellent and kept checking on us and did a great job explaining the food and answering all our questions.”

“My daughters loved meeting each princess, so much so that they barely ate. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered except for the charcuterie board. The food was of good quality and fresh. I would highly recommend this experience.”

“This was a fun venue! We felt very special here. The food was also surprisingly very good!”

5. Liberty Tree Tavern

Score: 8.08

“This is a great, hidden gem of a restaurant in Magic Kingdom. It’s casual, cozy, has table service AND serves alcohol. It seems to be more geared towards older crowds. The food, although not the BEST in all of Disney World, is great – classic American fare. If you’re there for dinner, everyone is required to partake in the Thanksgiving style meal which is all you care to enjoy – which is fun! If possible, ask to be seated in one of the side rooms – extra cozy!”

“We have a few food allergies in our family. My husband was truly impressed with this place and what they were able to offer him and our son. Even with gluten and dairy allergies, none of us walked away hungry. We were all pleasantly full. Chef and servers were attentive and polite.”

“Favorite meal of our trip, only meal of our trip we thoroughly enjoyed. First time at Liberty Tree and have recommended to others. Food was good and plentiful. Service was good.”

4. Adventureland Spring Roll Cart

Score: 8.25

3. Gaston’s Tavern

Score: 8.35

“Love the cinnamon rolls and LeFou’s brew. Ask for extra icing and they will give you a small cup with it. The rolls are large and shareable. We arrived in the earlier part of the day and got the large round table under the antler chandeliers , so fun! The beverage is sweet but not for everyone. Paper straws are miserable in my opinion with frozen drinks so I brought a re-usable one.”

“I wanted to love it, but it was just ok. Tried the big cinnamon roll, and it is definitely the best cinnamon roll on property. That being said, it wasn’t anything special. The Lefou Brew was good, but if you don’t like mango I would skip it.”

“This is a Hidden Gem for a light meal and/or snacks. The theme is spot on and fits with the character and story well, the rooms are very well decorated with antlers and Gaston’s chair and fireplace – take a picture in Gaston’s chair for something fun and unique. Sandwiches are good, Cinnamon rolls are good – especially in morning. “

2. Columbia Harbour House

Score: 8.62

“Been coming here for years! Usually take a lunch or AC break here midday to escape crowds and the heat. Recently got to try some of their gluten free selections and really enjoyed the ability to eat nice allergy friendly food in the middle of Magic Kingdom.”

“I was wary of seafood at a theme park but, as a New Englander, I was shocked to learn the fish was pretty well cooked, the shrimp wasn’t overdone (HOW?!), the hushpuppies didn’t suck, and even the lobster roll was totally fine – which is a hard bar to meet. There’s lots of fried food, but also plenty of fresh, simple options. This is the best counter service restaurant in the Magic Kingdom.”

“Love this one! The initial greeting/ordering sequence can be overwhelming, but once you have your tray you can head upstairs and get a nice seat in a peaceful and well-air-conditioned space. The food is pretty good, and there are plenty of options. The staff keep it quite clean as well, considering the size of normal lunch time crowds.”

1. Sleepy Hollow

Score: 8.67

“The chicken and waffle “sandwich” here is so delicious. I dream of eating one again! And I’ve already had them on three separate days on two separate visits. I’ve tasted the sweet waffle with fruit as well, and it was also delicious.”

“Once you get through the line, everything goes quickly. I got my food within 5 minutes of ordering! The funnel cake with the strawberries and the whipped cream was absolutely amazing, as was the corn dog! I will 100% go back on my next trip!”

“Sleepy Hollow is a great & convenient spot to grab a Mickey waffle. It is right inside of Liberty Square not far off the hub so it is very convenient. My sister & I got countless Mickey waffles here on our last trip (one of our favorites!)”
