This is just a must do for me and my son. It's been our tradition since he was 3 and is a 1st day, bucket list item every visit.
Ok menu but great atmosphere and a lot of fun.

Please bring back the original Main Street Bakery Disney! It has diminished the authenticity of Main Street by putting a "franchise store" in a location that was a Disney icon. The smells that used to come from MSB on to Main Street would stop you dead in your tracks.

This is a must do everytime to WDW. There's just something about it. This is not a favorite of everyone but for my family, it's a staple. From the different offerings to the available seating and décor, we love this place.

Hands down, my favorite quick service in all of WDW.
The ribs are to die for and the tree canopy seating make this a little slice of paradise during a busy, hot day in AK. For some reason, it's never crowded which is even a bigger plus. My family always likes to eat here close to closing time because we feel like we have the whole seating area to ourselves.

Excellent fun for young and old. Great food and plenty of it plus wine, beer and ice cream treats. It's 2 table service meals but you get what you pay for. There's no buyer's remorse with our family when we do it.
I only wish they offered it more than 2 days of the week.
Pros:
Food, character interactions, beer, fun showCons:

Ate here 5/18. The monorail kept breaking down which resulted us in being late, but no fear we weren't the only ones and the restaurant was aware of the situation. Our ressies were for 5pm and arrived at 530. We have ate here several times and continue to enjoy it. We immediately got our pictures taken outside the restaurant as is customary and were then announced and taken to our table. Our waiter who we have had in the past arrived quickly to take our beverage orders and asked if we were on dp. He told us the characters would be arriving so for us to go get our food. The variety of foods and meats were plenty including the childrens selections. The characters arrived and took time to meet with everyone, sign autographs and take pictures. The stepsisters and Lady Tremaine really make this character experience. We so enjoy this meal and experience that it is hard not to do it everytime. I always encourage people who can't or are unable to get in a CRT to try this experience. Our waiter was fantastic as always removing plates and refilling beverages before we were finished with them. We also purchased adult beverages and I especially loved the Lavs Cava its similiar to a pina colada but with raspberry puree in it. LOVED IT!!!!! AFterwards walked around the resort and decided to take the boat back over to MK since we knew the monorail was having issues only to find out that it was completely down and thank goodness we got to the boats when we did because there was over an hour wait for them and people were missing their ressies in MK that was staying at the GF. They tried to accommodate with buses but some people just aren't ever happy.

We love staying at French Quarter and this visit reinforced that belief. We almost wish the Parks weren't so available; we would choose to spend more time at the hotel.
We arrived at around 10 AM--certainly early for check in. A nice CM with an iPad took our info and reappeared in about 10 minutes with our room info--Bldg. 1, room 1134. We hauled all our gear there but the room would not open with our magicbands. Back to the front desk, where I was told by another CM "That's not your room!" OK, but that's what the CM gave me. Since I wasn't particular, she found us another room: Bldg. 4, room 4307. This room was great. Even though it had a view of the parking lot, the square in between was landscaped with beautiful trees and hedges. We never heard a car or truck, and only the occasional back-up beeps. Its also the closest area to the bus stops, so no complaints there.
The room had plenty of space for 4 adults. It was cleaned daily, but only a Mickey towel on the first day (they may have sensed no little ones). They were a bit stingy with the coffee pods, but a quick stop to the front desk produced more.
The pool was great and never overcrowded. The new kids play area seemed popular. There were lawn movies, smore's, and carriage rides. My only complaint about the store is that they have stopped carrying skim milk and on most days didn't even have low fat milk. The restaurant is totally underrated.
The room rates here are the lowest for moderate resorts on the WDW property, making this a good value. I doubt we will ever stay at any other WDW hotel.
Pros:
Beautifully landscaped, quiet, friendlyCons:

Very pleasant helpful cast members throughout the restaurant and resort. Food was fresh and tasty. Hubby liked the coffee but said no toast just small biscuits. Great eggs and lovely fresh fruit. Love the Hawaain theme and music. Took a walk around after breakfast. Very nice experience. Will definitely go back

I know this restaurant gets somewhat mixed reviews but we have always had positive experiences here. There is a large variety of dishes to choose from and they taste good. The beignets are a bargain they always have sugar-free ice cream available. The workers are invariably pleasant and the hours the are open are extensive. The kids breakfast plate in the morning gets you a waffle, eggs, meat and 2 fruits, plus milk for $5. A good place to eat when you're hungry and don't know what exactly you want.
