Review of Mara - Jambo House

We always stop here on our way home and get the carved meat sandwich of the day to go. It’s become quite the tradition and we always hope for the turkey but the ham is good also. When we were there in Sept we were not on the dining plan but it is still a reasonably priced option. The kitchen seemed a little off that day as we had to go back twice to get the correct order. When I explained we were taking it on the road they packed it with the condiments on the side which was helpful.
Pros:
relatively inexpensiveCons:

Another one of our favorite quick services. Visited in Sept. 2017 without the dining plan on this trip. I love the pot roast and potatoes. DH got the burger which he said was good too and he really liked the fries. We enjoy the Contemporary resort even though we have yet to stay here (on the books for Sept 2018!) and usually stop here for our meal and then take a lap or two on the monorail. Service is quick…love the GPS trackers…and the choices make it seem one step above a regular quick service. The peanut butter pie dessert is to die for and I usually pack one to take home. It’s so rich I split it 4 ways…almost like a candy. We like to try different things each trip to Disney but we always seem to put this one back on the must do list!

My husband and I ate supper here one night on our vacation the end of September2017. Our first time back since the remodel but really didn’t see a big difference other than the giant masks were gone. I read a comment about the price but we kept track of all our quick service meals on our six day trip this time and this one was only about $3 more than the other resorts we visited and that included the beignets. The shrimp and grits entrée was delish and was actually better than what I had at Disney Springs and Olivia’s last year and the quantity was enough for a meal the next day. My husband had the pizza and no complaints from him either.
Pros:
good food and large portionsCons:

Saratoga Springs was our resort choice in Sept. 2017 and we had our first meal of the trip at Artists Pointe. We have eaten here a couple times before but we tend to stick with the same things. DH loves the cheeseburger flatbread and I go for the buffalo chicken panini. His was perfect but I felt like they had tried to overdo the horseradish on the panini so not sure if I would order this again. It is definitely not the best quick service but ok for a meal during the week. The dining room is lovely and most of the time it is not overly crowded (but we tend to go in Sept. during the quiet season).
Pros:
nice dining roomCons:

My husband and I tried this place for the first time on our vacation in Sept. Really pleased. Nice hot pizza with lots of choices for toppings and the price was really reasonable. We were going to a movie later and having popcorn so we opted to share a pizza and a salad so we got out of there for less than $17. We had good weather so we decided to eat outside where there was plenty of seating. Will definitely make this a future stop on our vacation next September with the whole family.

We were very happy to see that this Wolfgang Puck location was still open as it is one of our favorites. In the past we have paid for the dining plan but our Sept 2017 trip we decided to pay as we went. This is one of the pricier quick services but the food is always good and the choices are a bit different. The bacon wrapped meatloaf is really good and the pasta was excellent. Nice that it is served on real plates too.
Pros:
food is more inventive than regular quick servCons:

Don't waste your time or money. Other reviews correct loud and tables to close I felt like I was eating with another couple. Food wasn't good at all. Order two sodas chicken fingers and chicken breast entree and the bill was 48.00 not including tip. Nothing special about this restaurant.

Always have to wait 15-20 minutes past appointed time - very limited waiting area. Restaurant is very noisy. Food was good but quality has declined the past couple of years. Usually eat here twice during our stay - come every October. Will only make reservation for one time next year.

Ate here in mid October. Very limited on menu items. Service was great and the renovated interior was beautiful - much better than before.
