My family of 4 dined here for lunch on June 6th. My husband and I had the create your own salads, which were very good, and my teenage daughters chose to eat fruit. They weren't very hungry. We had no trouble finding seating and the restaurant was clean. I was happy to see Disney providing more healthy options.

I had the create your own pasta. I felt a little rushed and it was a little hard to hear the people behind the counter. But you get a huge portion and it comes cooked very well. Great selection in this food court.
Pros:
Quick, TastyCons:

The chocolate cake at the bakery is WONDERFULL. Very moist and tasty. Got a cinnamon roll for breakfast, it looks good but is very hard on the outside and dry on the inside. DS and grandparents got the whole pepperoni pizza twice and it was very tasty and the best price we found for a whole pizza throughout Disney. I had the create your own pasta on our last day, it was okay, I think less noodles would taste better and it would seem like there would be enough sauce for all the noodles. DH got the Turkey dinner one night and I got the ham dinner one night, DH said his had good flavor, mine was okay. DH also had the mufalatta twice and said it was good. Wasn't too crowded the times we ate but I went there a couple of times to refill the mugs and it was packed.
Pros:
variety, chocolate cake (yum)Cons:

My daughter (33) and I ate here during our visit to Disney May 10 to 16. Twice ate at the build your own pasta. These meals were always very tasty, hot, and made while you were standing there. Also had a burger there and it was quite good as well. Of course breakfast isn’t breakfast without a Disney Cinnamon Roll and the ones at the bakery here are great!!
Pros:

I really liked the diversity here. You can put together a healthy meal - or not! It was actually nice to get some vegetables in. You could see the food you’d be getting and make adjustments as you order since you’re mostly directly interacting with the person putting the order together. The food was good for quick service and hot. I had a really good pork bbq sandwich on Texas toast that was really delicious and filling. I don’t typically like coleslaw but enjoyed the light, refreshing version.
Pros:
Diversity, served warm for the most part, large seating area, get your own drink refills, pay with Magic band, nice views near windows, bakery with ice cream, quieter in the mid afternoonCons:
Gets crowded at meal times, lines can get long, some times food may have sat around for awhile (but I’d request fresher food or choose an alternative)Reviewed by Tanasigirl Review Date: 09/27/2016

We stayed at the PORS September 12-17, 2016 and ate lunch twice at the Riverside Mill. The first time we came when it was slow, so we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The working waterwheel was cool from inside the building.
We shared an Angus Bacon Pimento Cheeseburger with cole slaw the first visit. While really liked the burger, the cole slaw was just average. Plenty for both me and my hubby.
The second visit was different because we came when it was busy and it was really slow and loud. So, we won't do that again. But the BBQ Pork Sandwich with the Housemade Chips cheered us up. They put the cole slaw on the sandwich (by request) otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten it again. But on the sandwich it was fine. I love the chips, so that's a must-do for me.
In short, the food is good, but the atmosphere can change with the crowd size.
Pros:
Pimento CheeseburgerCons:

We ate one lunch and two dinners ( one at 10:30 after swimming) at the food court during our 6 days at POR. Had heard about the pasta and how good it was, and found it to be true! My son and I had pasta twice each and it was cooked very well and with the toppings were available, was very good. We had the dining plan, but the cost of the pasta was about $12 which I didn't think was out of line for a big serving with a bread stick that was made right in front of you with fresh ingredients. Younger son had flatbread pizza twice and it was fresh and good both times. Food from grill was okay - not terrific, but good for grill food. Great bakery items. I came and got cinnamon rolls and croissants in the mornings when we didn't want to take time to eat. So good! Chocolate croissant was excellent! My only complaint is how the food areas and check out areas are arranged. They are too close together for the very busy times and the lines for the pizza and the pasta (2 separate lines next to each other) got very long one evening when it was raining and then it was really hard to get around with trays full of food and drink. Most of the time there were only 3 check outs open which didn't help either. The ice machines seem to not work most of the time on the beverage line, but I am sure they just can't keep up when it's so busy. We knew going at Easter would mean lots of long lines so it wasn't a big deal, but just some things we noticed. It's all part of the experience. I really like the large dining area so you don't feel like you are right on top of other tables and it's fun to sit by the big wheel and watch it work. The theming of the resort is so fun and it all fits together well. Loved the tables with the mixmatched chairs. They all go together well. Loved being there, can't wait to go back!
Pros:
pasta bar, theming, lots of places to sit, bakeryCons:

We stayed here December 30, 2013-January 1, 2014. We really like the food selections at this resort. Hubby and son enjoyed the muffaletta flatbead. I really liked the Beef and Blue sandwich. You can't go wrong with eating here.

We were at this food court for the week of Sept. 8, 2013. I enjoy this food court. There is something for everyone here. The best deal ever is the grilled mahi mahi sandwich. I get Grant to grill it for me without the blackening spices. DELICIOUS. I get this each night I eat here. My husband really enjoyed the hot turkey dinner. My kids love the spaghetti, my daughter got her own fish sandwich, and the chicken noodle soup is yummy. I wish the ice machines were working better this trip as many nights there was little or no ice. (We eat between 5:30-6:30)
