Was very good food, great atmosphere, brought us birthday cupcakes, beautiful restaurant.
Pros:
desserts were great!Cons:
Wouldn't let my son substitute any of the sides (he's 13, didn't want the vegetable or the potato offered) but it worked out fine. Waiter was not overly friendly, but was very good and efficient.Review of Biergarten - Lunch/Dinner

Been here many times over the years. Last time was 3 years ago. Was just as good as we remembered! The band was exactly the same and were terrific. Family enjoyed it well. Liked meeting the people at our table. Super busy but got seated right away.

2nd time eating here. Was fantastic food again! We had the prime rib, the steak, and the all you can eat platter. My son didn't like some of the meat on the all you can eat platter as well as some of the other meat, but he still had plenty to eat that was great. Had the crayfish bisque. Was very good, but literally 2 pieces of crayfish in it! Chocolate creme brule dessert was one of the best we had all week! Good service, very attentive. Interesting that this was the only place we ate of all the 8 days we were there that didn't tell us happy birthday or happy anniversary (we both had bdays and our anniv that week and both had 2 buttons on). Not a big deal as we had tons of celebrations the whole time we were there, but I realized it after dinner.
Pros:
great meatCons:

Our second stay at Riverside. First time was 3 years ago. We love, love this resort, the main building, Boatwrights, River Roost Lounge, food court, gift shop, grounds, pools, and even the bus transportation. We loved the rooms in Alligator Bayou 3 years ago. We did not love the refurbished rooms nearly as much. They have lost the bayou character they had in the past. What there is now looks like a hodgepodge of both bayou and some Princess and the Frog thrown in and the colors are not good together. I know it's a cosmetic thing, but it really bothered me and I miss the wooden bedframes, the greens and yellows and cute curtains in both the room and the bathroom. The colors do not go together and a lot of the theming is lost, in my opinion. We also didn't like the tile floors as they are really slippery. I missed the cute wooden plank look to the carpet. We will stay here again for sure, but will be looking at the mansion side.
Pros:
grounds, main buildings, music played in the food court and on the bus, had a quiet pool right outside our door, the resort in general.Cons:
theming of the bayou rooms looks thrown together, has lost it's charm for me. (is a personal preference I know)Review of Sunshine Seasons

We made a point of heading here for a light lunch, hoping to find the chipotle chicken wrap we discovered during our last visit. We were thrilled to find it again (grab and go case) and everyone in our party of 9 got one. So light, fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend for a quick meal on a hot day.
Pros:
Chipotle chicken wrap is fantasticCons:

We tried to go here all day for coffee. At 9, 2, 4, and sometime around 5 or 6. Each time the line was out the door and it just didn't move so we gave up. How can it take 2 hours to get coffee here no matter the time of day? This place needs help.
Pros:
I'm sure the coffee is good if you can stand the huge, slow lineCons:

We just had beer and lunch box tarts. The blueberry lemon lunch box tart was very good, the pastry was excellent - not at all dry and full of flavor. Not to mention, adorable. The lines here move very slowly though.
Pros:
lunch box tarts are deliciousCons:

Comfortable place to rest, get some AC and brews. Connecting doorway to Sci Fi make is the perfect place to wait for your table. They have a great soundtrack of music playing in the background. Only gripe - wish they had a few more food options.
Pros:
nice atmosphere, next to Sci Fi, good beerCons:

Kids love the chicken tenders here, we love Sonny Eclipse. Generally though, the food is ok. We ordered a footlong hotdog this visit and it was stone cold. Fixins bar was a mess. Every single ketchup and mustard was empty and food debris was everywhere. We go here late when there aren't many options left at MK.
Pros:
fastCons:
food is very so-so unless you like chicken tenders, which seem to be consistently goodReview of BoardWalk Pizza Window

Pizza is really so-so - fine but don't expect anything more than quick service Disney pizza. However, it is a great value and fast. We had two pizza parties during our recent Boardwalk stay. On the dining plan, you can get a large pizza with 4 side salads (choose from green, caprese and antipasta) for the cost of 2 quick service credits. Great deal! Salads were fresh, pizza made everyone happy.
