This is no longer a buffet. It was pretty sad to see the restaurant gutted to make a counter service location. The food was very good though. The air conditioning was really cold!! And we waited quite a bit for our food. I got the meatloaf and mashed potatoes. So good!! One son got the premade brisket sandwich that he enjoyed. The half chicken meal my hubby liked. And the chicken strips were a hit.
Pros:
Food great!Cons:
A/C was too high, Waited a long time for food, and overall sad to see this once great restaurant reduced to a counter service location.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 04/15/2023

There were 3 in our party. The only thing we liked was the salad and drinks. The cornbread was cold and so was the other food. The food just was not good and was $31 a plate. Big mistake going there,

Used to be my family’s favorite place to eat at WDW but the post covid menu is mediocre at best first corn bread was good salad ok but only one choice of dressing which was not liked by half our 9 member party so half the salad went untouched then the skillet brisket was fatty and mushy chicken ok but was served as whole halves so many keg portions went untouched much wasted food do not like all food thrown in together and no choices dessert was not good “puddings in a jelly jar”to share, a platter of assorted cookies would have been better $ 30.00 apiece definitely NOT worth it will not return unless they reinstate the buffet

Dined here on Sunday, Nov. 7th. The chicken was the best part of the family service, but most of the rest of what they brought out was dry to the point of being cardboard - especially the potatoes and the brisket. The brisket was so severely disappointing... just dry and uneventful. Had to wash it down with water.
Pros:
- The wait staff were friendly and efficient. - Chicken & desert were great.Cons:
- The host staff outside weren't very helpful. Not rude per se, just not motivated to actually field questions. - Table wasn't ready until 30 minutes past the reservation time. - The brisket was a crime against humanity.Reviewed by HeartBreakKris Review Date: 09/19/2021

I’ve eaten here for breakfast, and lunch/dinner. This was pre-closure so it was a buffet, which I don’t know if that has returned yet. The cast members were SO friendly. Some of the nicest I’ve encountered! The buffet had a lot of choices and would probably be good for all kinds of diets. But an absolute highlight for me is the price point! It’s such an affordable meal which means you have more money for souvenirs, in-park snacks or anything else!
Pros:
Scenic location, great cast members, affordableCons:

This is my family’s absolute favorite breakfast buffet and it’s criminally underrated. This is the best bang for your buck place to get your fix of Mickey waffles and all your breakfast favorites. There’s plenty of seating, great theming, amazing service, and the food has NEVER disappointed. They also took great care of our family members with celiac disease.
Pros:
Delicious food, fun atmosphere, never disappointsCons:

Paid over $300 and the food was poor at best. The line was extremely long. Food presentation was cluttered and did not look appetizing. No bowls for soup.

Probably the worst dining experience I’ve ever had at Disney. Fried chicken was dry (gravy didn’t even help), brisket was a dry hunk of meat, ‘salad bar’ was lettuce and dressing, baked beans had no flavor, dessert options were disappointing.

Great serviceCons:
