This has been the only consistent restaurant in Disney for the past 40 years. Recommend the Reuben or the chicken and strawberry salad. Nice break from the hustle and bustle of the park and not as Disneyfied as some of the other restaurants. Unfortunately their potato salad has been taken off the menu but I do like their homemade potato chips.

We visited the Plaza on a busy day in July during lunch. We had a reservation for 8. No one was in restaurant but, still had to wait. They made the seating for 7 instead of 8. Staff did not apologize, asked us to wait again and put us at 2 tables. Food took forever after we ordered. It tasted fine but, one hour after lunch I was violently ill. Chicken must have been under done. Service was slow and not friendly even though not busy. We will not eat here again nor recommend to anyone.

quiet, inside seatingCons:

Food was worst of our 10 day trip! I was excited to try this place and reviewed the menu with some pretty good options. We had reservations on a Halloween party night. Got there early (15mins) and was told come back at time to check in..ok we've gotten that before not a big deal .. check in...almost 40 mins after reservation we were called. Bummer that's cutting into our party time. Apps come mostly cold, tomato soup was so bland. Entrees of the green tomato sandwich just had an odd taste and was pretty wet causing the bread to fall apart. My mom ordered a meal with chips and they were actually stale and almost soggy. When asked if they had fresh we were told they make them in the morning it's all they have for the day so whatever they bring would be the same. What the kids menu didnt mention about the "honey wheat bread" is it's a flat bread, almost pita like. That was a huge no for the kids. I tried to encourage them but I took a bite and no go for the adults either. Gave up as the food was really terrible and our late seating was really eating up our party time and waited for the check. Finally flagged the waiter back down after almost another 20 minutes. He did at least get some shakes to go when we asked instead of having them there but that also took forever. I usually will give a place a break and retry but I'm really hesitant. In 6 Trips probably the worst food we have ever had at a Disney restaurant. Gave Tony's a try again this trip because of the parade seating and while previously mediocre was amazing this time! So maybe theres hope again for the Plaza but this time was super unmagical and a place to be overlooked for sure.

We have eaten at plaza prior to this visit. We had had problems last december on our visit and saw at least 3 other very unhappy tables. But, thought it was always a favorite of mine > we will go open minded, thinking it was just a bad day. Sorry to say, we where soooooo wrong.
We had gotten there about 15 min early, told too early to check in, come back at 5 min. to go. We did and they registered us. Gave us our beeper / light thing. Then we waited over 30 min. in the sun. I went back to the counter to ask where we where in the que. I could clearly see in resturant. half the tables where totally empty. some needed to be bussed, with no one doing that at all. She said we are behind, not much longer. We where a party of 2. people with larger parties where walking up without reservations and getting seated before us. We went back to the counter could see same tables un bussed and empty still. We had now been over our resservations 45 min. I told her we where leaving and I will not be charge $20.00 because we didn't eat there. She said huh, no problem. I had no idication any of these hostess cared how long anyone waited. They where joking around, laughing, having a great time for being at work > when people where standing in 90 plus heat waiting to be called. Seemed to me maybe some of the 4 or 5 hostess could learn how to buss the table and or serve a customer.
I cancelled my ressie I had 2 days later and just cancelled the one I had in november.
I will not be here again.

We ate here in July 2021. My son and I thought the food was terrible. After eating the burger at the Boathouse on the same trip this burger was totally flavorless. It was like eating cardboard. It was one of the worst burgers we have ever had anywhere.

I don't understand the hype about this place. $22 for brisket and mac and cheese and the food had a weird sharp bite to it... almost as if something was racid. The meatloaf was okay. I would not go back unless it was for a milkshake. I was really disappointed because the service was excellent!

Will not go here again! If your handicapped this is not for you. My daughter and I came here for dinner during our April 2019 trip. I travel with oxygen and ride a scooter. They made a big issue about my scooter and embarrassed me while in the restaurant just as I sat down. When we arrived the hostess said I needed to park my scooter over there, I said my sorry I didn’t see parking, she pointed down the walkway and said next to the bathrooms. Excuse me if I could walk that far I wouldn’t need a scooter. She apologized but that was parking. WE were going to leave but another girl came over and said our table was just inside the door and she would park my scooter for me, when we were finished someone would get my scooter for me. I thanked this girl over and over, she was so sweet. She took us to our table which was just inside the main door, before I even sat down at my seat another girl came over from in back the restaurant to speak with the girl who sat us saying this scooter must be moved, it cannot be in here, it’s blocking others walk way (which it wasn’t). The girl who sat us said calmly she would handle it and all was under control. How pleasant to have half the restaurant watching you! Our waiter came over a few minutes later and we both ordered: wedge salads 2 drinks and the steak entree medium-rare. THe wedge salads were good, I said to my daughter we have great seats for the nighttime show I feel we’re still here. MAYbe if we ear slow and order desserts we would make make it. Our entrees came out and my daughters steak was a little more rare then she wanted but said she’d deal and ear around the sides, my steak was almost raw so I asked if it could be put back on for a minute or two. So my daughter continues to eat and the nighttime show starts, and ends and people start to leave, while we are looking around we finally spot our waiter coming with my food. When he put my meal down I refused it, said I’d pay for what we had so far but not for a meal I should have had 30 minutes ago. He gave us our check for just that and no apology. Guess who had to retive my scooter, my daughter!

Somebody has to sit near the kitchen and endlessly swinging doors, and this time it was us. My daughter got to look out toward park, but my view was into the kitchen. Although, she was the one I thought would get hit by the swinging door or a server coming out of the kitchen. For a small restaurant it is quite loud..nothing in decor to dampen noise. Daughter liked her tuna sandwich and fries were good. I went with the server's "favorite" strawberry salad. For the price ($14.99) there was hardly any chicken or gorgonzola. The dressing was tasteless. I would have told this to our waitress but she never came back while we were eating. We ordered plaza sundaes. I'm not sure there was enough hot fudge on mine to fill a spoon. It appears as though there is fudge, but it is just a light coating on the glass dish. The whole time I was here I kept wishing I was eating lunch again at Be Our Guest.

Hi this review of the beloved Plaza Restaurant at WDW Magic Kingdom. Post pandemic reopening I\\'ve found that like some of the restaurants at WDW modified their previous menus. I would think that they could go back to the regular menu by now. The endless shakes, a regular ol chicken sandwich, house made chips & what in the world have they done to the cheesesteak sandwich? It has some type of mushy white substance on top instead of a true provolone cheese it used to have. Makes no sense to stop the chips when they are served next door at the Contemporary Resort. Make no mistake, The Plaza has been our favorite for over 20 years! Let\\'s get it back to some normalcy! For the price loyal customers deserve it. Until this changes I cannot recommend

Very disappointed in the Plaza this trip. My family and I have made it a tradition for the past 7-8 years to eat our first and last lunch there on every trip. On August 25th we did that as we arrived. The Turkey Sandwich was half the size as before and it came with 10 French fries. The plates are much smaller so you don't notice. My brother-in-law ordered a side of fries and it was only 12 fries for over $3.
We are looking to start a new tradition as this was so disappointing.
