When we are on the dining plan we typically use our counter service points here multiple days as the food is really good and even better than many WDW table service restaurants. The service is good too. You walk up, order, then they bring the food out to your table and are very attentive even though they do not take your order and it is not a table service place. The pizzas are delicious (I have had chicken, meatball, and other all great, better than the more pricey sit down Wolfgangs on the West Side). The non-pizza items are also great and I always get the creme brulee dessert which I liked better here than at Yachtsman Steakhouse (which is much more expensive). It is amazing that on the dining plan that you can use your counter-service points here versus a burger or hot dog place in the parks.
Pros:

When we entered the line at 1:30, we were told there would be a 30 minute wait. The wait with ordering was 65 minutes.
I had read a number of good reviews and was looking forward to the new experience. However, they were not really ready to handle the number of people. They kept offering an apology for the wait and the inability to take orders efficiently.
After we found a place to sit which was easy and the food arrived, we found it to be a disappointment. The French onion soup was tasteless, but did have a lot of cheese melted over the top. The ham and cheese sandwich was OK. And the quinoa plate with salad was dry and bland. We were very disappointed and will not be going back on our next trip in September.

Ate here tonight, March 16th, and it was just OK. Seafood chowder, marinated seafood salad, and peel & eat shrimp were great starters but the rest of the seafood was just OK. The crab legs tasted good when you could get to the meat. I expected they would be small crab legs and that is fine. However, they need to give you shears to cut them open instead of crackers because most of the legs are too small for the crackers.
Service was good and our waitress was really nice.
We checked in 10 minutes early for our ADR but were seated 15 minutes after our ADR time. Not surprising in WDW but still needs to be mentioned.
Pretty disappointed in Allears for some misinformation on their menu that says it is from last month. Our waitress said they haven't had fried shrimp on Saturdays for months and they haven't had Oreo Bon Bons for a year and a half! How can a menu on this website be from last month with those glaring errors?
We are glad we tried it but won't go back. It just is not worth the price.
ALLEARS: Sorry we disappointed you. We work had to keep the menus updated. We changed the date on the menu when we also update prices. We can't possibly go to every place at WDW and depend on our readers to let us know if things have changed on buffets. We also note on the menus: Sample Menu Actual selections may vary from this menu

The three of us were here on a very busy, cold, rainy night, so busy they turning away walk-ups. We did check in about 15 minutes early, but in spite of the fact that people were lingering over their dinners to avoid the cold we were still seated right at our reservation time.
The atmosphere was very cozy, warm and inviting. The waiter was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. He was very quick to bring additional pots of hot water for our tea and an additional loaf of hot crusty bread as soon as we had nearly finished our first servings of them. For entrees we had the duck with cherries and the Coquille St. Jacques, both excellent, very satisfying and the portion size was perfect. The dessert was an exceptional strawberry cream cake, very fresh and just the right amount of sweetness. We will be coming back here on our next trip.
Pros:
excellent food, superb waiterCons:

I LOVE the French pastries here, and believe me I visit each and every time we are at Epcot. This time, our first visit since they upgraded to the larger location, was a huge disappointment. The pastry are a lot smaller in size, but not in price. I was sorry to see that, to say the least. My favorite is the Napoleon and it was about half it's usual size. It still tasted good, of course.
Needless to say, I will probably not be as happy to visit here again, and who knows, I may not, unless they go back to their original portion sizes, that is!

We have really grown to love Pop Century. It's location, it's service (Disneyesque)and their bus system are enough to keep us coming back every time. My ONLY complain, my chief complaint, stay after stay, is their beds. They're not comfortable, they're not soft, they're not even close. The bedspreads are so heavy that I can barely move it. My single wish is that they would update to more comfortable beds, something to look forward to after long day's in and out of the parks!
We love Pop, and will probably stay here again and again.

I couldn't wait to visit this new restaurant, and I was not disappointed at all! Ate lunch here on Sunday 3/10/13. The food was excellent, I had the grilled steak sandwich, DH had the carved turkey sandwich and DS17 had the braised pork. My only wish was that there was more sauce on the bread, it was a wee bit on the dry side, but not unbearably so.
The ambiance was SO awesome. I couldn't stop looking around at everything they had to offer.
I love how they serve you the food as well, they bring it out on these covered carts so that it stays warm.
The only problem that we encountered was the ordering, it's a little confusing but there certainly are helpful CM's to help guide you along and soon we were on our way. And the dreaded wait in line, however I do have to say that it was not as bad as I had anticipated before leaving, per the boards here on all ears. 🙂

Although we stayed at Pop Century, we decided to stroll across the bridge and check out AoA, for the first time. It's got lovely, festive grounds and their pool is amazing. There is also a play area for kids. The food was DELISH! I'm so happy that we decided to go check them out, it was 99% different than the food at Pop.
I had their Buffalo style turkey sandwich, DH and DS17 had their build your own burger's. Everyone was pleased with their food. My buffalo turkey sandwich was on the most amazing multigrain bread and it had tons of arugula, with tons of flavor. I will definitely go back, again and again!

We have eaten here before, a couple of years ago and so we knew what to expect. We had lunch last Monday, 3/11/13, and walked right up without reservations, with minimal wait time. Their food was not a disappointment at all, we loved it! DH and I both had the Traditional Mexican Lunch, and DS17 had the Enchiladas Verdes de Pollo (chicken enchiladas with green salsa).Our server, Jorge, was disappointing though. He barely paid any attention to us, left us waiting FOREVER after taking our drink orders, and only checked on us 1 time throughout our meal. We literally had to flag him down for our drink refills and he never offered us a refill on our water glasses at all.
I really do love this restaurant, it feels like you're transported to an outdoor cafe right in Mexico.
I will think twice, however, after the service that we received, before going back again.

We've eaten at Artist Point during two different deluxe dining trips over the past year and, on both trips, it was one of the top two dining experiences (and, on both trips, we also ate at Cali Grill, Jiko, Citricos, and Flying Fish).
Food and service were top notch both times. The portabello mushroom soup, buffalo, and berry cobler is one of the top meals at WDW.
This one of the most underrated restaurants at WDW. A true hidden gem. Take a boat ride over here for dinner at the end of a Magic Kingdom day. And make sure to take some time to enjoy the Wilderness Lodge lobby area. You won't regret it.
