If you're looking for a unique experience, this is an excellent restaurant to go to. Every seat in the restaurant faces a very large aquarium tank - just awesome. For my meal I had lobster bisque, grilled mahi-mahi, and the chocolate dome for dessert. Everything tasted great. This restaurant was very accommodating for gluten allergies. Everyone at the table enjoyed everything that they ordered. Highly recommend this place!
Pros:
Amazing to sit and watch the aquarium as you are having dinner.Cons:
Need to have a reservation.Review of Satu'li Canteen

The food here was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is nice and calming with a beautiful instrumental soundtrack playing in the background. They have a very large indoor, air-conditioned area to sit and eat your meal and the layout of the tables allow for a nice conversation areas.
Most of the meals come in 'bowl' form. I had the beef, rice and onion chimichanga sauce bowl. It was better than anything I've had to eat at Disney in a long time. The beef is cooked perfectly and sliced thin like you would have an a roast beef sandwich. It was lots of rice and it also came with a side of slaw. The portion was excellent! Plenty to fill you up.
They also offer a beverage bar. This allows you to have as much as you would like to drink with your meal. They also have actual silverware to eat your meal with. Both are Big bonuses for Disney - where most food is fast food style with plastic utensils.
They even have employees walking around to take your trays and to get your refills on your drinks.
I can't recommend this location highly enough! I will definitely eat here every time I come to animal kingdom in the future.
There's also staff walking around to help the customers.
Pros:
Free drink refills; real plates and cutlery; indoor and outdoor seatingCons:

It's a free ride from the airport! You used to have to pay $36 or something like that from Mears. They pick up your luggage for you and deliver it to your room. There are cartoons and fun Disney videos on the bus on the way. What's not to like????? Yes, it does sometimes take a while for your luggage to get delivered to your room. So take your medications, your bathing suit, one set of Florida clothes in your carry-on bag and you are in good shape. If you are traveling with small children, this is the way to go: they can be entertained by the videos during the trip. On one trip I was traveling with a person with a mobility disability. I called ahead and they made sure that we got a bus with handicapped lift. That lift and not having to carry your luggage made all the difference in the world on that trip. One time (out of about 50 Magic Express trips)our bus had to pull over to the side of the highway and we had to transfer to a different bus. They managed to make even that seem like an adventure. Only giving a 9 for the long luggage wait. But I can live with that given all the service that you get for FREE.
Pros:
easy, fun, no extra chargeCons:
sometimes long wait until luggage arrivesReview of Paradise Garden Grill

This is by far my favorite place to eat when I'm at California Adventure Park! I ordered the chicken kabob which came with rice, taziki sauce, cucumber salad and a large piece of pita bread for $11.99. It was a full meal - of healthy food - for a great price. They also offer the same plate but with steak or veggies. The other thing I appreciate is that the food is served on regular plates with flatware - no paper plates/plastic forks here!
It is a bit away from the front of the park, but I will definitely make the trip to eat here again the next time I'm at this park!
Pros:
Delicious and healthy options at a decent price.Cons:
A long way over there from the front of the park.Review of Casey's Corner

Ate lunch here on the first day of our visit in April 2018, for the first time ever out of many visits to WDW. All four of us got the footlong hotdogs and fries. I have read other reviews of people complaining about how big and crumbly the buns are - and those complaints are valid. The dogs themselves are great - all beef hotdogs cooked well. We all thought the buns were actually really good too, tasty and had nice texture, but not at all suitable for a hotdog. Maybe for a French dip (or Italian Beef, for all you Chicagoans out there!) but too much bread for a hotdog. That said, we enjoyed these dogs very much and will certainly be back on our next trip (come on, January!) And you get to sit under an umbrella table gazing at the castle. I think the only thing that would make this place better (aside from more suitable buns) would be cold beer 🙂
Pros:
Great dogs, great views of the castleCons:

We stayed at the \"outbuilding\" location of the Grand Floridian Concierge Level. I was really unimpressed with their service and staff. After many stays at The Boardwalk in Concierge level and the Wilderness Lodge Concierge level I expected a lot more from Grand Floridian. Our room was right next to the Concierge Lounge and was very noisy. The staff wasn't helpful with planning are rarely interacted with the guests. The food wasn't as great as other experiences and generally lacking in that extra special feel you expect from paying for Concierge at a deluxe resort. We had a terrible time with getting a crib for my 2-year-old son. Once the crib arrived, we had to ask for sheets three times before they arrived.
Pros:
Location, views, it's the Grand FloridianCons:

I've eaten here a few times and it doesn't disappoint. I love the chicken mole. The best! We always have reservations and get seated right away. When it rains though, people flock inside the pavillion and it's crowded so be aware. We always finish the dinner with a boat ride. We love the feeling of eating in the mexican atmosphere inside.
Pros:
The atmosphere and ambience. The Chicken Mole is tops!Cons:

Love this table service restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom!! It is part of the Landry's chain, so if you have a Landry's Select Club card you can walk right up to the podium and get seated pretty quickly - even without a reservation. For those with no Select Club membership, I would recommend making a reservation before you arrive in Orlando as this is a very popular restaurant at AK.
Yak & Yeti features Pan-Asian cuisine and everything I've tried (with the exception of the lettuce wraps) has been delicious. I highly recommend the fried fish tacos, which is now served with rice and stir-fried veggies, or the Miso Salmon. I find it really hard to pick between the two so my solution this trip was to order the fish tacos as an appetizer for the table and the Miso Salmon as my meal.
This is definitely my go-to restaurant every time i visit AK - I sometimes even come to the park just to eat here. 🙂
Pros:
Delicious food; centrally located; indoor seatingCons:
The restaurant tends to be cold. I always take a jacket with me.Review of Flame Tree Barbecue

What a great counter service location at Disney's Animal Kingdom (AK). This was my first time to eat at this location and I was very impressed. They offer sampler plates, but my cashier did not recommend the ribs, so I went with the 1/2 Chicken dinner. I decided to go ahead with the standard sides (beans, coleslaw and cornbread) but I could have substituted broccoli for any of the sides. I LOVED the chicken and really liked the coleslaw and cornbread. I think I would have enjoyed the broccoli more than the beans, but they were still good.
I would definitely eat here again!!
Pros:
Great food and plenty of it in my meal.Cons:

I've been to Paris and this feels like Paris. My wife and i Dined here during F&W festival and it was a nice change to sit and have dinner after hitting food stands all day.
