A decent choice for a meal in the Magic kingdom, great for families, kids and large groups. You do have to book a reservation online to get in and if you don't order your meal ahead of time then you are in line for a bit.

free fountain drinks are available during lunch like any food court, the staff bring your meals to you, and a knowledgeable about food allergies and dietary needs,


I had the Braised Pork (Coq Au Vin Style) Slow-cooked Pork with Mushrooms, Onions, Carrots and Bacon served with Mashed Potatoes and Green Beans. Presentation was like home cooking, average but good. Light on the seasoning, the pork falls apart perfectly, beans cooked eldante,typical mash and gravy.


overall its a decent place for families on the dining plan, can get crowded and recommended if going with kids wait until they are old enough for table manners.



If you want a better experience the table service for dinner is better and kids can have their picture taken with the beast.

Pros:

atmosphere, booking ahead, mobile order available

Cons:

busy, crowded

The best thing about lunch is not the food, it’s the surroundings. Very limited menu that can be cold and not appealing visually. I had the Croque Monsieur sandwich that was over cooked and not very hot.

Pros:

Beautiful place to have lunch. There are 3 rooms you can sit in, and you can wander around and check out all the rooms.

Cons:

Food is just so so.

We ate here the week of December 15, and it did not live up to expectations. We arrived about 15 minutes before they opened and got in line. I'm glad that I read ahead of time about how long the line can get- by the time the restaurant opened at 10:30, the line was almost to Gaston's Tavern!

I loved the touchscreen ordering. It was very quick to figure out, at least with the dining plan. We wanted to sit in the West Wing, but it ended up being way too dark for us to be able to safely feed an 11-month-old. So, we ended up in the ballroom, next to one of the windows. The ballroom is pretty and the chairs have got to be the comfiest in WDW, just don't look too long or too close at the decor. It ends up looking cheap.

The food was the biggest disappointment. Was I expecting a croque monsieur like you'd get at a Parisian cafe? Absolutely not. But come on, don't try to pass off a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and the same half-cooked fries you get all over WDW as a croque monsieur and pomme frites. The sandwich was thin and greasy, and I could not find the bechamel for the life of me... although strangely enough I could feel it when I chewed. It was a very strange sensation.

My wife had the roast beef sandwich which was fine. Pretty much your standard roast beef sandwich with horseradish. The desserts were fantastic, though. We had the Master's cupcake and the passion fruit cream puff.

Maybe it was the cavernous room, or the basic food, but it felt like a prettied-up cafeteria. I'd go back only because there are only a few really good counter service options in the Magic Kingdom.

Pros:

ordering system, desserts

Cons:

mediocre food, loud

My daughter loved eating in Beasts castle and i thought the theme was well done. That's about all I can give it.

Beef sandwich was decent, cupcakes looked great and tasted fine. Neither of those made it worth while. The French Onion soup was the absolute worst I have ever had. Bland bland bland ! It had a sort of "freezer burn" quality. The kids pork meal looked good but tasted nasty. I was really surprised they would not serve it without the sauce poured over the top of it as we requested when ordering. Not very kid-friendly for a restaurant appealing towards kids.

It really bugged me that the wait was so long to get in yet there were empty tables throughout our meal. A very comfy 4-top nearby sat empty the entire time we were there. Also, the very cool looking West Wing room was small compared to the other 2 rooms yet it is the most in demand.

Pros:

Novelty of castle and its theming

Cons:

Mediocre to poor food, small West Wing, long wait but lots of empty tables

Ate here on 3/17, wanted to try since it is new and didn't want to eat dinner here, read earlier reviews of the long wait so went around 1pm and stood in line over 30 minutes. Castmember came around and handed out menus to everyone so that the line could move faster. The menu is limited but that's ok. When came to entrance everyone wanted to take pictures and cast members allowed this so this took extra time waiting. Once inside two lines formed. A castmember asked how many was in your party and if you were on the dining plan. We were and have been to Disney before and knew the dining plan do's and don'ts. After ordering we asked for the soup which would not be covered under the dining plan and knew that we wold have to pay for this. We were told that we couldn't order any additionals, we kept explaining that we understood that we would pay for the soup and the castmember told us that since we were on the dining plan we couldn't order anything else. So after several attempts we gave up and went to look for our table. We were pointed to the west wing which was very quiet and not crowded. Our food came minutes later. The food was ok basically sandwiches on hard rolls. The desserts were good but only took a few bites as two family members are diabetics and we don't get desserts but wanted to try since they were so highly rated. It was a cupcake with strawberry mousse inside. We won't be back just wanted to try this restaurant since it was new but like other places better

Pros:

themeing

Cons:

rude castmember, long lines,

The theme was great, the decor was great, the grey stuff in the white chocolate Chip was great. And that's all I'm going to say about this place.

Pros:

Great theme, service

Cons:

Lunch menu was the dinner menu, and price. West wing is very dark

Everyone else seems to love this place; we have eaten breakfast, lunch and dinner there -- a total of 4 meals -- and only had one positive experience.

Pros:

We had our best experience at dinner the first time we ate there; the second time was not as good. Service was acceptable but not comparable to other Disney dining experiences like Ohana, Whispering Canyon, etc. The food was okay but not exceptional.

Cons:

Lunch was very disappointing -- the food was bland, the staff was unprepared and a bit on the side of rude at times.

We ate lunch here 10/24. Neither of us care for the whole grain bun/bread that the ham and cheese sandwich comes on, so they put in on bread that seemed like Texas toast. I thought it was was greasy and didn't care for the flavor of the butter/margarine they used. It just passed, but it was disappointing because we were here a few times over the years and that sandwich was always good. THEN beverages a Coke and a Sprite were so horrible tasting. I don't know what they did. It wasn't CO2, I was beginning to wonder if it was what the cleaned the nozzles with. We were in the music room, so I left and went to the main ballroom and it still didn't taste right, but not as horrible as in the music room. So, almost $5 for a beverage that we couldn't even drink. I tried different dispensers about 4 times. Of course they couldn't give us our money back, so they gave us a bottle of water to go.

It's nice to come here for a different dinning experience and to see the castle, but I come for lunch because there's nothing on the dinner menu I would eat and this time they couldn't even make a sandwich or provide a beverage.

Another thing, they had 3 forks left when I went up to get the silverwear and they never restocked the whole time we were there.

Pros:

To see the inside of the castle.

Cons:

Ham and cheese sandwich wasn't so great. Not able to get a beverage we paid for. Seating is chaotic. If there is a problem with your food, too bad.

Yuck. If you don't preorder it is a huge hassle to order at the kiosks inside. The wait was LONG and my older parents had a hard time figuring it all out. Food arrived cold, no seats in the West Wing which was the main reason we went. Just a weird set up with getting all your own stuff but the food is delivered. French onion soup was tasty and the Master's cupcake was good but other than that, we don't plan to return. We received "no strings attached" Fastpasses for the ice cold food.

Pros:

French onion soup, gray stuff, ambiance

Cons:

Cold food, weird ordering process, long line
