Review of Blue Bayou Lunch

Ate here in August 2013 for lunch. I had heard that there had been food improvements from the last time I ate here about 5 years ago. Short story - there weren't. Stay away from this restaurant. I can safely say that EVERY other restaurant we ate at, sit down or counter service, was better than this one.
The only improvement I saw were the bread rolls served at beginning of meal. My son found the kids meal sour - after complaining, they comped it. My husband said his jumbalaya was so skimpy, it had like one shrimp, one sausage, etc, and it wasn't good. My sister had the strip loin which, seriously, she could not cut it was so tough! My husband tried to cut it and couldn't. We complained, they comped it. I had the short ribs. They were so dry, that after a few minutes, I literally started choking on it. Finally coughed it out, then left the restaurant area to continue spasm coughing, as my body still thought there was something there.
And none of this was the WORST thing that happened! A worse thing was about 5 minutes after my sister spoke with Chef about her gluten allergy, the server brought out her salad. She started eating it. About 2 minutes later, the server came out and said she had given her the gluten one, she had already eaten. I have to say that the waitstaff here were completely incompetent and could have killed someone with their lack of care.
And now for the WORST thing that happened! We got the check and though they had comped my sister the entree she could not cut and eat, they charged her extra for the salad (which is normally part of the meal), Which, in error, they had given her a gluten one! Insult on top of injury.
I took the bill. Left the table (did not want to upset my sobbing sister any further). Found a manager. In short and sweet terms, recounted calmly all that happened, handed her the bill and said she could take care of it! She mentioned to me that she had heard me choking on my food and she certainly couldn't not notice my sobbing sister.

This is our home resort and we usually love it. It nice and clean. We usually don't have problems with bus service either. We did have one problem this trip. Usually our room is ready for us when we check in - be it at 11am or 4pm. And while I realize that officially check-in time is 4pm, they actually did not release that room to us till almost 4pm (we had checked in about 12pm). Although I found the wait inconvenient we did make use of the pool. And considering the location of the room that we got, I'd say it was worth the wait.

Ate here this past July. Normally we don't get pizza in WDW because it's usually not very good. But we were pleasantly surprised with our pizzas this time around. There was enough sauce and cheese. And the sauce didn't have that tinny taste but was actually a bit on the sweet side. I would definitely stop back in for lunch.

We ate here for the first time this past July and were pleasantly surprised that the food was good. Normally I stay away from Italian food when in WDW since I find it usually isn't that good. But we were all happy with it. DD & I got the spaghetti with chicken and DN got the Pollo di Forno. Our server was also very friendly and attentive.

We always eat here during our vacations. And July was no exception. The atmosphere is unique and I like watching the movie clips (I even remember seeing some of the movies on TV when I was a kid). Burgers are good, but then again we never get anything else here.

Ate here on our past trip in July. Princess interaction was good. Our server was attentive. Food was your typical breakfast items so it was decent. I just don't like the potatoe casserole.

The bakery items are very good. Our favorite is the chocolate mousse. Although this place has been expanded and there are more tables, it still has no where near enough tables.
