I feel like it's become trendy to pick on this place... But it's actually a really good restaurant. People seem to be upset about the price and the prefixed menu. However, in my opinion, the options there are great. The French onion soup was amazing and who doesn't want the Grey stuff??? Plus, the theming of this place rivals anything in Disney World. Word of advice, if you don't have kids with you and can last until the make it to the last reservation of the night grab it. The times I have been there this place has run behind on reservations... Sounds bad??? It's not. When you leave you have an empty Disney World, which is a great way to end your night.
Pros:
Great theming. Good food.Cons:
Can be pricey... But it's Disney. Prefixed menu. Although the options are goodReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/11/2023

Made reservations 60 days ago. Sat us 20 mins after reservation time. So wait staff for 20 mins once seated at table. We had to ask for service. When she finally arrived, took our order, never came back. We ended up cancelling our order and told the hostess we were leaving. We will never go back to this place.

My family of 6 ate here in October 2021 on our first trip to the Magic Kingdom, as we were told it's something everyone should do at least once. I debated whether or not I wanted to shell out the big bucks to do it finally decided to try it. We ate in the forbidden West Wing, which seemed to be the most interesting of the three rooms (the others are the Grand Ballroom and the Rose Gallery). The room was nicely themed, with the famous rose displayed in its case, and every so often, a petal would fall and there would be lightning and thunder, with a painting of the prince turning into The Beast. However, the room was very dark and it was difficult to see the food. The Beast showed up briefly during our meal, and he didn't stay long. We expected this with the COVID restrictions, but it was still a bit disappointing. The food was good, if somewhat overpriced. Most of our group ordered the French onion soup and filet mignon, which I definitely recommend, considering how much you are paying. The desserts were shared and were generally good. Our server was outstanding - she did a fantastic job taking care of our large group, even bringing my daughter a different kind of soup when she didn't like the one she ordered. So overall it was a good experience, but I don't expect we will we return anytime soon because of the high prices. As fun as it may be, there are many other options that provide a better value for the price paid.
Pros:
Fun atmosphere, good food, excellent serviceCons:
Probably not worth the $$$$$ to most people, The Beast passes through very quicklyReviewed by Sironhart4900 Review Date: 07/27/2022

My family went for lunch on our last day and it was fine. One of the people in our party had noise sensitivity and another has PTSD with unexpected thunder so they put us in the Rose Gallery. We did have to wait about an extra 15 minutes while they changed things around but they got all 5 of us in with no issue. I knew going in that the meet and greets were not a thing but it was more disappointing than I was expecting. The Beast walked around twice while we were there and it was so fast. It felt like if you sneezed he would be gone. We watched a bunch of young girls just not be acknowledged by the Beast at all. We had gone to Steakhouse 71 a few days beforehand and if you can handle no Disney characters it is so much better. My family was all adults but my mom really wanted to eat here so we went with it and we were disappointed. We were definitely rushed, it was subtle but when you looked at everything it is obvious. Our main course was served before all of us were done with the appetizers so the table got crowded with plates quickly. It was hard to look at the other rooms during the meal as it felt like if we left the table we would come back to warmish food.
Overall it was just an ok experience once we sat down. Before and after were amazing and what you expect from a sit-down Disney world restaurant.
Pros:
Beautiful rooms. The suits of armor and waiting rooms are amazingly detailed and more relaxed you can hold a conversation there.Cons:
Loud, expensive, and you are rushed out.Reviewed by Piper2010 Review Date: 07/23/2022

Such a fun dining experience! Amazing atmosphere and pretty decent food! Desserts were our favorite! Not sure we would pay to return as it’s pretty expensive and I wouldn’t say the food is so good it’s worth returning for but I think everyone should dine here atleast once!!!
Pros:
The atmosphere and theming are wonderful You get to meet the beast! Food is pretty good but the dessert is where this place gets it right!Cons:
Expensive Can be loud in the main dining room Not a ton of selection to the menu Hard to get a reservationReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/05/2022

I loved Be Our Guest! The theming inside the restaurant is awesome and I felt as if I was in the castle. The food was delicious! The French onion soup was decadent tasty. All the entrees are delicious. During pre-covid times, I got to dance with the beast which is a perk. Overall, the food is great and I prefer this over Cinderella's Royal Table.
Pros:
Good food, great themingCons:

Had the pleasure of dinning there multiple times. It never disappoints. Service is fantastic, the food is as Molly says " Chefs Kiss". Plus Dinning on the scene of your favorite Disney Movie, makes me cry all the time.
Pros:
Immersive ExperienceCons:
very expensive. Pre-Fixed MenuReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 06/17/2022

I found this very over priced and not worth the money. I only booked for the extra character experience which was a minimal appearance of the beast with no interactions permitted. The waitress recommended a drink which turned out to be a pretty slush which costs me 45 dollars for three of them. So all in all I was disappointed and felt a little robbed.
Pros:
Food was niceCons:

The first time I stepped into the ballroom at Be Our Guest...tears. Actually, who am I kidding? I cry every time I walk in here. No need to put on a brave face. Grown adults are tearing up. It feels SO magical and like you are right in the movie. The food is just fine, but let's be honest - that's not why you're eating here. Definitely try Be Our Guest at least once for dinner if you can swing it. It feels so special and will provide integral Disney vacation magic memories that you're sure to talk about for years to come.
Pros:
Feels like you're in the movie with totally gush-worthy ambiance - and servers are generally pretty attentive.Cons:
Food isn't AMAZING but it's just fine. Wouldn't recommend going here specifically for the food.Reviewed by TeacherManJoe Review Date: 05/15/2022

Okay, here’s the rub: As many have said before, the theming alone in Be Our Guest is WELL worth experiencing if you never have before. However, the food is merely “good”.
I liked this restaurant more than my wife, but I am also a bigger Beauty and the Beast fan. The entrees were good, and the “Grey Stuff” is indeed delicious. However, for the emotional investment of trying to get a reservation and the monetary investment paying for dinner, the food is not quite up to the level we hoped for.
Overall, definitely a must-do if you haven’t been before, if just for the theming alone. But for a repeat visit, I don’t feel that this restaurant is up to the task, especially considering all of the great snacks and Counter Service in MK.
