For what it is, it's not too bad. It probably deserves three and a half stars, but can't do that on Yelp. This is a grab-and-go or sit-and-eat quick and for Disney, a relatively reasonably priced place. We had: - the bacon cheeseburger - the kids burger - the pulled pork nachos - the Asian noodles I would say it was all pretty standard. The noodles weren't bad, but could have used more vegetables. I think I found about one and a half pieces of broccoli in the entire thing. The nachos were actually pretty good and had a nice mango salsa on top. The burgers were pretty standard fare. For a quick bite at the Polynesian Resort, it's pretty decent. read more

Captain Cook's is a counter service restaurant inside Disney's Polynesian Resort. It is a fast-paced venue, so be ready to order when you get to the attendant. The restaurant has fun travel posters and a view of the pool, but it is crowded and bustling...as it is one of the more "affordable" places to eat on the property. The staff is friendly and are hopping! Servers will be bring your meal to your table and are constantly on the move refilling napkins and tidying up the drink station. The menu is limited but delicious. We had the pulled pork nachos. The nachos, pineapple, pork and cheese made a lovely combination. The serving was big enough to share. read more

Great spot for a quick cheap eat at the Polynesian Resort at Disney. The sauce on the Korean chicken bowl was sweet with a lil kick. The cheese flatbread was a good size. Both were pretty filling even though it was loaded with carb. They have a big condiments section with big Ken's ranch packets. It went well with the flatbread. Service was friendly as usual at Disney and the spot had lots of seating, even some outside if you can bear the heat. Went in here while waiting to get into the speakeasy right next door at Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. It was about a 30 minutes wait to get in there so this was just right to pass the time read more

Capt. Cook's is the Polynesian Resort's quick service snack bar. It's located by the main areas, so it's very convenient. As with most things Disney dining, it's overpriced and mediocre. And let's be honest: the only reason I ever go here is to hang out while I'm waiting for my seat at Trader Sam's to be ready! There's a large indoor seating area with picture windows that look out onto the Polynesian property. Lush trees give a tropical vibe, and the outdoor dining patio is also nice when it's not raining or super hot and humid. This is a strictly "grab-and-go" spot with a unique menu that also has family-friendly favorites (chicken noodle soup, macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers and burgers). If you're looking for something a little more "elevated" (and I use that term loosely here), they have pizza style flatbreads, rice and noodle bowls, and unusual items like coconut meatballs and pork sandwiches. The place is very friendly and welcoming, and I recommend you use the Disney app for mobile ordering. Capt. Cook's is a great mobile order spot: it's fast, accurate, and there's no long wait in line when you're tired and hungry. If you haven't been to WDW in a while, I have some disappointing news for you: you can no longer get Dole Whip at Capt. Cook's. I know, I know. I remember the days of the SELF SERVICE Dole Whip machine here. Disney's just messed everything up! Even more annoying is that when you purchase a soda here, they give you ONE refill. How do they monitor that? Well, the soda cups have chips built in the bottom. Yes, on the PAPER SODA CUPS!!! Come on, Disney, you're charging me close to $6 for a tiny little drink cup and I can't refill it more than ONCE? This is the main reason for my low star rating of Capt. Cook's! I will say again that every single time I have been here, the service is fast and friendly. Cast Members here seem to keep things running smoothly even when the place is packed, making Capt. Cook's one of the most painless places to grab a quick snack. read more

Stopped here for breakfast before going to Magic Kingdom. I like how it feels more elevated than a budget resort cafeteria as you have to order your food at a counter and they will bring it to you. On the other hand, I like the variety of options at a budget resort. oh well. I ordered the Mickey waffles with sausage. I would've preferred an à la carte Mickey waffle with eggs or something but I didn't really have a lot of time to process my order. The food came pretty quick, although I had to get up a couple times to visit the coffee dispenser as they were brewing more the first time. The cafe felt Polynesiany but it's no Ohana. I mean, I wasn't going for the ohana experience- I needed a quick breakfast. It worked for that but I wish it felt more Polynesiany. read more

Every great hotel has that one "casual" spot where you expect frozen pizza and end up questioning your life choices. Captain Cook's is not that place. This is the Polynesian's quick-service joint, and somehow it's better than 90% of the restaurants people line up for in Orlando. First off, the menu reads like a fever dream cooked up after too many Dole Whips. Pulled pork nachos? Yes. Tonga Toast for breakfast? Legendary. Thai coconut meatballs? Random but delicious. Flatbreads? Of course, because you need something to soak up all the rum from Trader Sam's before you crawl back to your room. The star of the show? The Aloha Pork Sandwich--juicy, messy, unapologetic, and best eaten while sitting on the patio pretending you live here full-time and not just for three days until your credit card bursts into flames. Pair it with house-made chips and suddenly you're not in a hotel cafeteria--you're in some weird alternate universe where quick service actually slaps. And let's not ignore the fact that you can get Dole Whip right outside. This is basically Disney's way of saying: "We know you're not leaving this property, so here's sugar and pineapple in frozen form. Shut up and be happy." The vibe? Chill. It's the place you wander into barefoot at 2 a.m. after Trader Sam's, order pork nachos, and swear it's the best meal of your life--until you do it again the next night and realize you weren't hallucinating. Captain Cook's is what happens when Disney takes "fast food" and quietly makes it gourmet. It's cheap by Disney standards, it's good by any standards, and it might be the best reason to stay at the Polynesian (besides watching fireworks on the beach with a Dole Whip in hand). Captain Cook may have been a colonialist, but his namesake cafeteria? Straight-up legendary. read more

It's something different ok! I'll grab a bite here over the regular Disney quick service any day. In short; I love the pulled pork nachos. I don't like the noodles (shrimp or vegetables) too wet for me. I think the spicy chicken is pretty good, nice spice. The decor is meh, but it's quick service and not supposed to be anything fancy. The staff is, as always, polite and friendly. As far as price goes, it's about $11-15 per order so pricey, but in-line with regular Disney quick service. read more

I finally stopped in to try the Tonga toast and it did not disappoint! Well, mostly. I did try to cut into the outside and the crust was a bit tough. Almost a bit stale.

Located inside of the Polynesian resort this quick serve restaurant is easy to grab a snack or full meal. To find this spot you'll walk down the left hallway if you're coming from the check-in area. You'll pass a bathroom area and then see it straight ahead. They have a display menu board overhead that you can glance through as you wait in what is usually a pretty short line. They do have some cold case options like fruits, pastries, drinks, and salads. If you're on the lookout for a fun Disney dessert, they have cute cupcake offerings in this case as well. The staff is very good about moving the line quickly and offer the Disney service one comes to expect from the mouse. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, but as it's regularly hot in FL, you'll most likely want an inside option. The seating area is small, and it can sometimes take a minute to get a seat. Overall: A- Solid quick serve option for guests staying at the resort or just passing through it. read more

Whenever we go to Disney, we make it a point to stop by here for the Thai coconut meatballs. Since discovering them many years ago, they have NEVER failed in how delicious they are. Even during the pandemic, my wife has gotten so close to replicating them at home - that's how good they are. Its mouth watering as I write this. Get a taste and experience the sweetness, tenderness, spiciness, and flavor. Delicious all the way. Leaves you wanting more. read more

For quick service at a Disney resort this was surprisingly good. Foo was well priced for what you get. And the service is good. Got the Spicy Korean Chicken bowl which comes with the chicken tenders in their gochujang sauce over rice with pickled veggies. Was super good, good amount of the sauce per tender than covers the rice well and the veggies we a good complement to it all. The people were so friendly and helped me a ton (had my walker so needed a bit of help with the tray) and just over all made it a good time. Ambiance is that of the hotel, very Hawaiian resort. Music, decor, ac going. Honestly if you blind folded me and told me I was in Waikiki I wouldn't doubt it. If you need a quick meal here, for sure come and enjoy. read more

TONGA TOAST. There's not much more I need to say. Captain Cook's is the quick service option at the Polynesian, and I ate there several times as I was staying at the resort. Their menu has standard fare (burgers, pizza) as well as noodles and stuff to fit the Polynesian vibe. The Tonga Toast is the star of the show though - two thick slices of bread with bananas in the middle, covered in cinnamon sugar and...deep fried? I had it twice, couldn't finish it both times, but it was so worth it. The only issue is that it can take time for your order to be ready, so order on the mobile app and immediately click on "I've arrived" even if you're still in your room, as it took over 15 minutes every time I ordered something. read more

This is the restaurant inside the Polynesian resort. The island theme runs throughout the food options here. I went with the spicy Korean chicken bowl, which was crispy chicken strips covered in gochujang sauce over steamed rice and cucumber namasu. For $12.99 the portion size was decent, enough to fill me up. The spicy sweet gochujang sauce paired well against the tangy cucumbers. Tables were difficulty to come by so be prepared to stand or keep circling around for a table to open up. Depending where you sit, you can get a nice view of the pool and waterslide area. If you're staying in the Polynesian and need a quick bite to eat before you hit the parks, stop by Capt Cook's. read more

This is a great place to take a break in the air conditioning, especially during the hot summer. They have great snack options and drink options and even light meal options.

We met up with some friends at the Polynesian to grab drinks and food before going to Magic Kingdom. We visited on a Sunday so it was definitely a little busier than it would be on a weekday. The Cast Members were clearly stressed out and were trying their best to communicate with everyone about order wait times. The dining room is kind of small and it was not very clean, probably due to the lack of Cast Members present. We mobile ordered and waited for our time slot to begin. Once we clicked the button saying we had arrived, it took about an hour for our order to be ready. We ordered the Pan-Asian Noodles and Vegetables and the Cheese Flatbread. The noodles were okay, but they desperately needed hot sauce which was not available. The flatbread was so greasy and soggy that you could barely pick up a slice, but it tasted okay. I don't know if we would return here unless we were staying at the resort. I know some people love this spot, but I did not. read more

I've been going to Disney for two decades and we always make a stop at Capt Cooks for at least one breakfast and one dinner. We love their pulled pork nachos with house-made chips, wonton chips, and delicious toppings. However, on our most recent visit, we were given a brick of mush. They have swapped their house-made chips for Lays, which were soggy the second they were topped. It was impossible to eat. Not only that, the pulled pork was noticeably different and tasted like the frozen pulled pork you can get at the grocery store for a couple bucks. I went and inquired with a cast member about the chips as I had assumed that they had simply run out and used these as a replacement. She said that they made the change a few months ago, and they field complaints every single day about them. Such a shame. It was such a great spot. read more

This is a nice, decent size place. It had indoor and outdoor seating. Service wasn't always consistent. Some of the staff were nicer and more helpful than others. This place can be pretty busy depending on the time of day. We ordered: 1. Bacon cheeseburger - thick and juicy 2. Pulled pork nachos - loved the wonton chips with the pulled pork. Mango salsa paired well that it was a crunchy, sweet, and salty bite. Perfectly balanced 3. Thai coconut meatballs - Tender and flavorful. I just wished it had a little more rice. 4. Aloha pork sandwich- I loved the crunch and sweetness you get from the coleslaw and flavor from the pulled pork 5. Poly chips - This is a tasty snack. I wish it came with a dip or something but good to eat on its own as well. 6. Pineapple cupcake - hands down my favorite 7. Moana cupcake- tasty and moist. Coconut didn't care for too much 8. Guava danish and guava scone - Such a treat, I wish I had this sooner than the morning we were leaving. This gets sold out pretty fast. I love the taste of the guava jam and the pastries taste so soft and fresh. The scone was not hard and dry like most coffee shops. It was light and moist. read more

My friends and I had dinner at Captain Cook's last night, just before the fireworks. I ordered the Thai Coconut Meatballs and a drink, which came highly recommended, and they didn't disappoint. For $17 after tax, I enjoyed perfectly cooked meatballs in a delicious coconut-infused gravy over rice. The flavors blended really well! My friends ordered the Nachos, which were also amazing. If you're looking for a more filling option or something to share, I'd definitely suggest the Nachos. The unique flavor of the chips paired perfectly with the toppings. The restaurant itself is pretty simple, but the outdoor atmosphere really adds to the experience. We were lucky to catch a movie on the lawn and enjoyed a Disney film while we ate. Plus, you get a great view of the fireworks from there. Overall, it was a great evening, and I'll definitely be back! read more

Do not sleep on the kids meals! I ordered the kids turkey sandwich thinking it would be the prepackaged one they have at the value resort food courts. Imagine my surprise when I opened the box to fresh bread, lettuce, and tomatoes! This was also only one side of fries - I also got carrots and the kids drink. Spicy Korean chicken was just okay. Too much sauce for my liking but the heat was not that bad. Cucumber namasu was literally one slice and the rice was a tad undercooked. Probably would not get again. Mobile order took longer than I assumed for a Tuesday dinner so I definitely recommend putting it in on your way back to the resort. Decent amount of seating but got crowded inside once it started to rain. read more

Capt. Cook's - Inside - American Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

This is a great quick-service option in the Polynesian Village Resort. You can pick up pre-packaged items (drinks, pop tarts, etc.) and you can also order fresh prepared items off their menu. I recommend the nachos. It's a great shareable option when you want something to split between people that's more than just a sandwich. The pork on the nachos was delicious and the pineapple tidbits were tasty. We also got the kids turkey sandwich. Be ware - it does not automatically come with cheese and does come with shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato slices. The side was French fries and they were good. We sat at their inside seating, and the decor inside was fitting with the rest of the resort. The bathroom are along the hallway before you entered the restaurant area. The tables and chairs within the restaurant can be moved around to accommodate larger groups or small groups. I would return here for the nachos in a heartbeat. This place has lots of options and I look forward to exploring more of them in the future. read more

I'm not a Disney pro and I wasn't visiting on a Disney vacation, but I was pretty disappointed with this experience. I was in Orlando doing other things and heard the Polynesian Resort was great so I thought I would stop by for dinner. After being unable to get in anywhere else I went to Capt. Cook's for dinner. The service was pretty average, and the employees seemed very overwhelmed. I ordered two entrees and it took almost 30 minutes for them to get delivered to our table. They were both pretty average to poor, and the paper plates really didn't help. My Asian noodles seemed cobbled together and were sitting in a pool of cold water. The items with the burger meal were likely all frozen at one point. The ambiance also wasn't very nice to me. The restaurant was crowded and packed, resulting in a loud meal. The posters with travel destinations were nice, but decor in other areas seemed appropriative at best. I was really disappointed overall. It was my first Disney experience since I was a child. read more

This place was a let down. The Korean chicken bowl tasted like a very vinegary orange chicken and the Thai meatballs were so sweet that I thought I was eating a weird dessert. Service was a let down. Not much instructions on what to do after you pay. I thought I was given a pager but I found out it was a GPS. Then when I noticed my kid's drink was missing I found out that I had to go get my kid's bottle drink myself from the cooler. As far as decor, I think the setup needs to be configured to fit the space and the traffic. As far as portion to price and quality it is better than some places on the WDW property. Overall, if i had known what I know now, i would have had a better experience and that being said, I'll probably come back one day. read more

Alright, so we'd been recommended to come here a bunch of times before we finally made it in. We happened to have coupons for free food so we decided to use them here, and got to try a lot more than we normally would because of that! First of all, for a quick service location by Disney standards this one is REALLY tiny. When we came in there was only one register running and a pretty substantial line. So we had to wait a bit to order (which was fine, we weren't in a hurry). I decided to order the nachos because I'd been told 3784 times how great they are. They really are yummy! I could do with a little less pineapple personally but there's a good serving of pork on top, and the wonton chips make these nachos interesting and fun. They got a little soggy towards the end and they're very sweet! So if you decide to order them, be prepared for a sweet meal. I would definitely order them again on the way to Magic Kingdom one day as an alternative option to the quick service in the park. My husband got a chicken bowl and he was less thrilled as it was EXTREMELY spicy. He liked it! But he had to drink a lot of water to get through it. He said if it has less sauce it would've been better. We got mac & cheese on the side which was very yummy and cheesy, and I decided to try the coconut Moana cupcake for dessert. Definitely one of the best cupcakes I've had on Disney property. It was moist and the coconut was present without being overwhelming. Also, the ambiance outside is really nice because it's right next to the Poly pool and you can see the lake. So I highly recommend opting for the outdoor seating. read more

Captain Cook's is about as good as a resort counter-service restaurant can get! It might honestly be my favorite one on property! And that's saying something, as there are a LOT to choose from. The food here is always good, with a delicious Hawaiian/Island flair. This means you can expect some island-Asian fusion, like the spicy Korean chicken bowl, or the Hawaiian flatbread. I had the bowl on my last visit, and it did not disappoint! The gochujang flavor was very present, and it had a nice heat to it. Probably not nearly spicy enough for some of you, but if you have a lower spice threshold, you might want to pick something else. The pork barbecue sandwich is a winner, particularly! Very filling and very flavorful! My only major complaint is the seating, or lack thereof. They have staff in the dining area to immediately wipe down tables as they open up, which is SUPER helpful! They just don't have a lot of space to sit and enjoy your meal. True, there is patio space, so you have that option if the weather is nice. It's also a bit pricy, but that's to be expected on property. I wouldn't say it's any higher or lower than other comparable quick service locations. I will say, though, we've never walked away from here hungry! So, you do get what you pay for in that regard. Not to mention, it has close proximity to Pineapple Lanai and Trader Sam's, so you have post-meal options for dessert and libations! If you're into that kind of thing, of course. (wink) Overall, this place is on point across the board. The food is always delicious, the cast members are friendly and helpful, and the ambiance and location in the Polynesian Resort are desirable. Definitely a great spot for a fast meal! read more

Stopped into captain cooks after another Disney-goer informed us of the limitless refill beverage cup! Apparently this is NOT a widely advertised option for vacationers. One is able to purchase a refillable handled cup in any of the restaurants and once it is activated, you can refill it as many times as you want. They cannot be used inside the parks but the hotels and restaurants on hotel properties are limitless refills. Jayne C was quite helpful by letting us know those details before we purchased the mugs. Activation was nearly immediate and the process worked like a charm. read more

My family and I were staying at the Polynesian Resort. We stopped by Captain Cook's several times for quick service meal and snacks. This place is expensive! Some of the small bags of chips were $4.00 each! If you're placing a quick service meal, you'll order at the register and will be given a buzzer. Sometimes all of the tables will be packed especially during the evening hours and prior to the Magic Kingdom fireworks. Dining options include indoor and outdoor seating. Since the orders are bagged, you can also bring it back to your hotel room if you're staying on property. We ended up getting the BBQ sandwich and it wasn't too bad. This place can get relatively busy and there can be a long wait. I'd recommend stopping by in the morning as soon as it opens, or mid-day. read more

This is a quick-service restaurant at the Polynesian resort at Disney World. I came here after failing to get on the walk up wait list for Ohana at the same resort. Since we were on property why not get a bite, right? We wanted a light bite to share and we ordered the pulled pork nachos which were Hawaiian inspired. They were really good! It was topped with pico de gallo, pineapple salsa, cheese and potato chips instead of tortillas. The portion was good for two people. We also got a cinnamon roll. It was good! It was cold but I noticed too late there was a microwave at the dinning area, we could have used to warm it up. Next time we know. The menu had other Hawaiian and Asian inspired dishes I want to try next time such as spicy Korean chicken bowl, aloha pork sandwich, Thai coconut meatballs and more. The restaurant has two indoor seating areas and outdoors too. I think this is a great spot to grab a bite while resort hopping at Disney. I'm giving it a 4 stars because I didn't try more options from their menu. read more

A great place to grab a quick bite or refill your mug (if you choose to make the $22 investment for the refillable mug). The kids enjoyed the hamburgers and Mac and cheese. Everyone enjoyed the flat breads, Hawaiian and cheese. I enjoyed the Asian noodles and meatballs the most. I appreciate the late hours and availability for drinks and grub. But it does get busy since they are also facilitating to go orders as well. Or if the pool closes for weather, it can get packed and slow down.

Capt. Cook's is exactly like all the other quick service options in any Disney resort. Smaller eating areas. Good outdoor seating is nice, but a little cold on the day we were there.

It was better than most, but still pretty basic. read more
