The food is higher end but very expensive. Not a place to go unless you have $ to burn and want to have a more "high end" dining experience from a service side. The food is good, but overpriced. Feel like kids are welcome here almost based on the atmosphere. Can do dining with an engineering (I never have) or the Fantastic dining package for a fixed price (I have done this).
Pros:
Good serviceCons:

Very large space, some in outside. Usually not busy. Nothing fancy or special but I prefer this to ABC Commissary which it is similar to.
Pros:
Can watch Star Wars show, large space so you get a seat, usually not busyCons:
Some is outdoors if you don't want to be outside, average with nothing special hereReview of ABC Commissary

Nothing special here. It's a good place to get out of the heat. Sometimes they have something unique but not always. Themeing is very boring. Have had a hard time finding a seat.
Pros:
Large. Good location if the weather is badCons:

Extreme Getaway Package (includes Castaway Ray’s Stingray Adventure, float/tube + snorkel equipment rentals for the day, and a one hour bike rental). This is the best deal to experience a little bit of everything on the island.
We have done the Stingray portion with my boys and have a reservation coming up to go with my daughter. It is a very memorable experience. A cast member gives you an overview of what you will be doing and how to feed the rays. They make the kids feel very comfortable with the experience. Feeding lasts about 10-15 minutes and then you can snorkel in the lagoon with the rays for the remaining time. They provide the snorkel and vest that you will need.
You also get a tube rental and one hour bike rental with the package to enjoy while on the island. There are lots of bike trails and the kids bikes come with helmets and training wheels if needed.
If you can’t get a cabana (which are hard to come by) this is a good option for an excursion. You can enjoy the Island without booking any excursion though also - plenty stuff included to keep you busy!
Pros:
Good value - get to participate in a lot of different activitiesCons:
Would like more time feeding the stingrays.Review of 50's Prime Time Cafe Lunch/Dinner

I've been here a few times and I think a big part of the experience is the wait staff. If they interact well with you it's more fun. The food here is OK but mostly a "meat and potatoes" style food if you are OK with that. The main thing here is the atmosphere. Cool throw back vibe.
Pros:
Cool throw back vibe, nice place to relax, the tables/chairs can have a cool vibeCons:
Food is fairly plain, not the best experience if the wait staff doesn't interact wellReviewed by Jason V Review Date: 09/29/2018

Cool theme. The times I've been here the wait staff was very iterative and goofy like the captains of the Jungle Cruise ride. Food has an Asian theme and is good, not the best but good. Has a lot of cool Jungle Cruise stuff to look at.
Pros:
Can get a last minute reservation. Wait staff are in character and interactive. Can see cool Jungle Cruise theme items.Cons:
none really to give, always had a good experience hereReview of Pinocchio Village Haus

The food here is OK. The portions are fairly small it seems. Italian themed food. You can watch people ride on It's A Small World.
Pros:
Good location, watch people ride on It's A Small WorldCons:
Food isn't that great, very hard to navigate strollers in here.Review of Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe

Best quick service food regarding the portions you get and the price you pay. Mexican style food with nothing very unique, but the food is very good, cheap for Disney and large portions. They have the condiment bar which is large and no extra cost
Pros:
large portions, great price, large condiment barCons:
can be hard to get seatingReview of Gaston's Tavern

This is in a strange spot many people overlook. It has some cool snacks. The waterfront out front is really cool. Most people come here for Warm Cinnamon Roll or LeFou's Brew.
