“One word: Amazing! Everything about our experience here was great.”
“I have been to Homecomin’ for both dinner and brunch. Both experiences were life-changing to say the least. If you love Southern/Coastal food, this is a great spot to try.”

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar – 9.07
Jock Lindsey’s is “owned” by the pilot in Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark so you’ll see memorabilia from the films around the bar. Jock’s has a unique menu with signature cocktails and eats, such as a giant charcuterie pretzel, ahi tuna tacos, and flatbreads.
Our readers say:
“YUM! We will definitely be back as this place is a must do!!!”
“Loved the Indiana Jones theming, and drinks were very good. Fun place.”
“Love me some Indy! It’s really cool to look around at all the things used to decorate this place. We were amused by that but then you see the tasty options for food while you’re there too and it blew us away.”

Wolfgang Puck Express – 8.87
Located in the Marketplace, Wolfgang Puck Express serves breakfast, lunch and dinner in a Quick Service style. Dig into signature soups, salads, and sandwiches, as well as heartier dishes such as pastas and signature pizzas.
Our readers say:
“This place is consistently good. We have been eating here for years. Our pasta and wine lunch was delicious -chicken alfredo and spaghetti and meatballs was very good.”

“This is a must do for us at least once per trip and it is always consistently awesome.”

Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza – 8.62
Blaze is a Quick Service pizza spot located in the Landing. They offer signature pies or “customize your own” where you can choose everything from the crust to the sauce to toppings on a pizza assembly line.
Our readers say:
“Yes, there are Blaze Pizzas across the country, and yes, the line will extend out the door and possibly onto the midway, and yes, you may struggle to find seating. But this is THE best fast food pizza by an absolute landslide, and only rivals La Bella Napoli in Epcot as the best pizza in Disney by a landslide.”
“Blaze is great for my family. We are huge pizza fans but the kids like things simple. Blaze is customizable pizza so the kids can get their plain pie and mom and dad can get fancier with toppings. Everyone is happy.”
“We LOVE Blaze. It is a good value and tastes great and is pretty clean with no artificial colors etc…If you like pizza it is a good choice.”

Polite Pig – 8.61
Polite Pig is a barbecue joint run by Orlando legends James and Julie Petrakis. The Quick Service spot specializes in smoked meats, seasonal sides, and its extensive bourbon bar.
Our readers say:
“Best Counter Service at Disney Springs! The brisket was amazing and loved the corn on the cob. So many side choices that it’s hard to choose.”
“Incredibly delicious food, and amazing customer service!”
Lowest Ranked Restaurants:
Rainforest Cafe – 5.23
Rainforest Cafe is a themed restaurant that puts you inside a rainforest, complete with showers and animatronic animals. The menu is vast and includes sandwiches, wraps, burgers, and more.
Our readers say:
“THE FOOD IS SOOOO NASTY !!! But the decor is very lovely”
“I would not recommend this specific location. If you’re going for the effects – go to the AK location. If you’re going for food, skip this one.”
Rainforest Cafe
Paddlefish – 5.75
Paddlefish is a signature seafood restaurant, located on the boat in the Landing. Their menu includes crab cakes, seafood boils, and crab legs.
Our readers say:
“Horrible food and worse service”
Planet Hollywood Observatory – 5.91
Dine surrounded by movie memorabilia at this world-famous restaurant chain. Iconic menu items include shakes, pastas, and burgers.
Our readers say:
“Food was eh. Service was slow. Meals came out at different times. Family meal didn’t seem like a family meal with not all of us eating at the same time.”
“We loved the old PH, so we were excited to try the new one. The atmosphere is not the same at all. All the movie/music memorabilia is upstairs and you have to ask for an escort/permission to see it all.”
“Don’t waste your time or money. ”
Planet Hollywood Observatory
The Edison – 6.09
The Edison is an industrial style restaurant, with steampunk elements and live entertainment. Menu highlights include craft cocktails, signature burgers, and gourmet mac and cheeses.
Our readers say:
“The food finally showed up and was not that great. It was basic stuff I could get most places. Nothing I would choose to return to this restaurant for.”
“Our meal was entirely satisfactory, although not somewhere we are jumping to try again.”
“HUGE disappointment and not worth of a Disney Springs establishment. Will never ever go back here.”
STK – 6.2
STK is an upscale steakhouse that features DJs and outdoor patio seating. Sip on fancy cocktails and enjoy prime cuts of meat with a variety of sides.
Our readers say:
“However, at approximately $100 per person, this was just an OK restaurant…We have eaten at a lot better steak places for a lot less money.”
“The portions were definitely good-sized, but not great food.”
“Service was very slow. Meat were not tender at all. Used double Disney dining credits for each person and it was not worth.”

Paddlefish should be sunk! It was HORRIBLE!!! Took clients there during a conference and was totally embarrassed.Even the table side guacamole was bad (probably due to under ripe avocados and about 6oz too much lime juice). If i was entertaining clients I would have caused a scene and walked out. I spoke to a manager who gave me a FU attitude. Boathouse was much better!
How is Cookes of Dublin not one of the best ones there? Polite Pig is great. Buttermilk chesspie. Yum! What I dislike about Wolfgang Puck Express is that after standing in line to place my order, gathering my own condiments and utensils and finding my own table, I was expected to tip someone for plunking a tray down in front of me and never once checking on me or refilling my drink. I would rather have stood and waited for the food like most QS places than be “served” just so a tip could be expected.
Never had the food at Paradiso 37 because they wanted to up charge our entree on our dining plan. You could choose a sandwich or salad, but if you wanted an entree, it was something like $7.95 each extra for the entree. We’re WDW frequent fliers and no other table service restaurant has ever had that policy. We walked out and went to Raglan Road where we had a great meal plus entertainment.
Well, if you think Paddlefish is bad you really would have hated it when it was Fultons… worst meal I ever ate on property.
