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. Most of the time we were able to grab a table inside or outside, just keep your eyes peeled. read more

Capt. Cook's - Hawaiian Flatbread and kids Cheeseburger - American Near Me - Lake Buena Vista, Florida

Nice quick service restaurant at the Polynesian Resrot. Service was excellent and it was clean. Very themed decor and that also is found on the menu. Among the standard burgers and chicken nuggets, you can also find Thai coconut meatballs, Pan Asian noodles, pulled pork nachos, and Aloha pork sandwich. I got the noodles and they were great! Teriyaki flavor with plenty of veggies and chicken. The portion was generous and easily shared. This resort is beautiful and with more formal or expansive places to eat, I was pleasantly surprised to find this quick service with unique, affordable options. read more

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. I had the Korean Fried Chicken Bowl. Meh. Spicy. Basically it is a couple of chicken tenders in a sweet and spicy sauce on rice. My wife had the plant-based option -- a burger. It was better than most, but still pretty basic. read more

Winner, winner, the place for dinner!! Our family loves Captain Cooks because of the variety. So much to choose from here in terms of food choices. Asian noodles, chicken skewers, rice, pineapple, flatbread, pastries, meatballs and so much more!!! Prices are Disney reasonable. Plenty of seating inside or tables outside if you want to catch the fireworks or outdoor activities. Deserts and breakfast options are yummy too! read more

If you are staying at the Polynesian Village Resort - this is convenient and affordable for Disney. You can place a mobile order, and then come and pick It up. What I like the most is it's very organized, fresh, great service and they have a condiment area with BBQ, chopsticks, and all sorts of extras you might need or want with your meal. This is also the location for your refillable mugs. I ordered the Pulled Pork Nachos - these were a variety of house made chips and won ton chips - some spicy mayo - the pulled pork and some extra toppings. It was tasty, crispy, and I could have shared!!! Large portion. I also got the Noodles & Vegetables - this was also very good - I added chicken for $2 more, which was great - there was a LOT of chicken. I added a 50th Anniversary Cupcake...I do NOT like cupcakes, but the "dole-whip filling" intrigued me and it was actually GREAT! I highly recommend!!! There is indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. It's such a great atmosphere and if you dine at night outside, usually there is live music nearby over at Trader Sam's Grotto outdoors. read more

We stopped in here for lunch on our arrival day as it was convenient and the lunch menu looked pretty nice. We had the Thai Coconut Meatballs as well as the Aloha Pork Sandwich. Also purchased our refillable mug. We were pretty impressed with our lunch! Everything was hot, fresh and delicious. Considering this is a quick serve location, we had a great meal at a reasonable price. You have to try the Thai Coconut Meatballs if you're a coconut fan. We'll definitely be back to see the Captain! read more

As a passholder who usually dines at the same old spots, I felt like changing it up today so I stopped by Capt. Cook's. Turns out this place is a bit of a Disney food hack from both a flavor and value standpoint. For just $20 total, I got the Thai coconut meatballs and the chicken and pineapple skewer. The latter is technically a kids meal but I was deploying it as an appetizer here. The chicken wasn't seasoned but it included some sweet sesame dipped sauce which boosted the taste considerably. The meatballs were packed with flavor and made for a great entree overall. I still can't get over how good the prices are here. They also had an Asian noodle bowl with chicken and vegetables for around $11-$12. Disney usually forces guests to decide between food that's good or food that's cheap. Here, you can legitimately have both. read more

Stopped in here for dinner. The place was packed and doesn't have a lot of seating. There was a bit of a wait on our food with a mobile order but it wasn't too bad. The nachos were amazing! I would 100% order them again. The chips were to die for. The pulled pork sandwich wasn't bad either but the nachos were better. I would suggest ordering the chips on the side instead of fries with the sandwich. read more

Pleasantly surprised with Captain Cooks! Had to get the popular pulled pork nachos, parmesan pepper wings, and chili. Pulled Pork Nachos: Don't expect traditional nachos. For the chips, you get a combination of potato chips and fried wonton skins. The pineapple adds sweetness. I liked this and would get again! I do wish they had a little more pulled pork. Parmesan Pepper Chicken Wings: I'd say chicken wings are one of my top 5 favorite foods, so my expectations were very low for Disney. However, these were SO good! The wings were big and meaty and they tasted like they had been fried fresh. There wasn't much parmesan on it, but I appreciated how crispy they were for dry wings. I hate to say it, but if you gave these to me with my eyes closed, I might've thought they were from Wingstop. Walts Chili: Would not get again. Super salty and we couldn't finish it. Walt would be disappointed... read more

Checked in to the Polynesian a little early so our room wasn't ready yet, but my friends and I were definitely in the mood for food and Captain Cook's was a quick stop for lunch. The line was getting a little long at 11:45 a.m. so I opted to mobile order my food which was probably a mistake on my part... In a nutshell I waited about 20-30 minutes to receive my food while those who waited in line received their food much faster than me, but I'm not going to raise a *huge* stink over it since it was during the lunch rush hour and it was my fault for being lazy. Seating inside the restaurant was pretty tight and people were bumping into my seat so try and opt to sit outside if the weather is good. The food, on the other hand... disappointing. We ordered the Korean Chicken Bowl, Thai Coconut Meatballs, Pan-Asian Noodles and Vegetables, and Pulled Pork Nachos. Honestly, the only thing that was actually pretty good were the pulled pork nachos, and even then, it would've been 10 times better without the pineapple salsa on top (if you can order this without the pineapple or have it on the side, then I would highly recommend this dish). The Korean chicken bowl was overly saucy; the Thai coconut meatballs were just "meh" with some mushy rice; and the Pan-Asian noodles and vegetables (the one dish I was really looking forward to eating) was a huge letdown. The noodles fell apart when you picked them up and the flavors were overly sweet and ginger-forward. It definitely needed some soy sauce to balance out the sweet taste, but it really couldn't be saved. Big letdown... Overall, I'll give this place 2/5 stars. The refillable drink station was alright and the refillable mug came in handy during the trip so that's a plus. I would get the pork nachos again, but unless the restaurant is the only option available at the Polynesian, this wouldn't be my first place for food. read more

Definitely one of the better quick service restaurants available on WDW property! My favorites are the pulled pork nachos and the thai coconut meatballs! The pulled pork nachos are made of a mix of wonton and potato chips topped with pico de gallo, a heaping amount of pulled pork, and a light cheese sauce that gives cheesy flavor but is not overpowering. The thai coconut meatballs are the perfect healthy treat which comes with 3 meatballs, lots of coconut curry sauce (it mostly tastes like coconut), and a bed of rice. Service is always quick and everything comes out perfectly! P.S. I love that they have lemons out in the drink section! read more

As a passholder, I come to the Disney bubble quite often and almost every time I do I find myself coming back here, or regretting *not* coming back here. Value is great, food quality is great, I DREAM of those darn meatballs. Only way this review is coming down is if they stop selling the meatballs. The nachos are also a go to for me, and I enjoy the Hawaiian flatbread as well. Service is prompt and CMs are just as sweet here as everywhere else! Ambiance inside definitely leaves more to be desired but I typically just sit outside by the pool for a prettier view (and so I can run to the outdoor Trader Sam's stand to grab a drink while I wait for my food). Every time I watch a Disney food highlights video and don't see Capt Cooks and their meatballs or nachos on it I literally scream at my tv. Would give 1000000 stars if I could. read more

I would solely go back there for that salad and a stop to get some dole whip at the Pineapple Lanai afterwards :-) read more

Captain Cooks is one of my favorite things about staying at Disney's Polynesian! They always have amazing plant based options (I'm vegan which is no dairy and egg). Their plant based bowl was actually served on a plate this time with a massive amount of Just Egg garnished with red peppers, a full sized plant based sausage, and fried potatoes. Service is always quick and efficient, but you can mobile order to save even more time. I love the refillable soda machine, too! They have two sections for indoor seating and even more outside on the patio- love the tropical ambiance! read more

I can only speak to the lunch/dinner selections, as I haven't eaten breakfast here yet. It is a decent quick service option located in Disney's Polynesian resort. My most recent visit, I ordered the Thai meatballs, and I was thoroughly impressed. They have a sweet and slightly spicy flavor. You get 4 large meatballs on a bed of rice with some green onions on top. I added a pinch of salt and it was perfect. A great little meal, especially on a chilly night. The wait here can sometimes be a little long, so I highly suggest using mobile order. I did this, and pretty much finished my meal before the people who had been in front of me in line even placed their order. If you don't like using mobile order, then expect to wait a little bit during peak times or go order in between peak times. All in all, they have some good options here. They are Disney prices, but if you need something quicker than a sit down, the food is good and always hot when I've ordered. read more

My husband and I ate here twice during our stay at the Polynesian Resort. First we had dinner here following another rainy blast coming back from EPCOT. When we got there I did traditional ordering. I ordered the Aloha pork sandwich and fries for myself and a bacon cheeseburger and fries along with Walt's chili for my husband. I decided to skip on the refillable mugs since I knew they weren't worth the money for the few times we would eat here. I was given a buzzer and sat down at a table. All around me were posters of the south seas. Off in one corner is a refrigerated food and beverage section. Regular ordered drinks you grab from a machine along with napkins, utensils, sauces, sugars, creams, etc. Within about 10 minutes my buzzer went off and I went over to an area where they had bagged orders (probably mobile) ready to go. I showed the lady my buzzer and she said they were still preparing my order. Apparently they bag every order regardless of how it was placed. After waiting another 10 minutes I got our dinner bag and sat down. My pork sandwich was very good, the fries however, seemed cold probably from sitting out. My husband enjoyed his bacon cheeseburger and his fries were similar to mine. He let me sample the chili and this tasted a bit salty. Surely I had better chili the other day at the Crystal Palace! Well it was a meal and we made the best of it. Early the next day I thought I'd try the mobile ordering for myself. Haven heard I could save a few dollars here then ordering Tonga toast here over Kona Cafe I ordered two of them for our breakfast along with juice and coffee. Following the prompts upon arrival my order was prepared and ready to go! We sat down to try this famous banana stuffed toast I heard so much about. The crust was very difficult to cut and had this sweetness about it. However, once I managed to get to the inside, it was quite good! I don't know why they make the crust so hard to cut and all I had was one of those plastic knives. This is the budget restaurant at the Polynesian and it does cater to many. You can dine both inside or outside or better yet since it is bagged you can take your order back to your room and eat it there. You do have a variety of options here. I'm glad I had the opportunity to enjoy the Aloha pork and try the Tonga toast. Captain Cook's is located at the rear entrance to the Polynesian resort and is next to Pineapple lanai as well as the main pool. There are several areas to access it. read more

Our third stop on a one day tour of the Magic Kingdom resorts brought us to the Polynesian Resort. This place is gorgeous. It is my favorite resort, along with Animal Kingdom. I will say, the Christmas decorations were a bit limited compared to other deluxe resorts. After walking around the resort, we grabbed lunch at Captain Cook's. The star of the show was the Super Food Salad my wife got. It is the reason for the 2 stars. Service was just ok. The drink set up is awkward, and the restaurant fills really crowded, even when it isn't full. Next time I would eat outside of Trader Sam's. There is an impressive condiment bar, the other reason for the 2 stars. I got the Hawaiian flat bread, going with the Polynesian theme, and it was not good. Doughy, little ham, little pineapple, and one part that was either burnt, or something I don't want to know, that was rock hard, black, and inedible. The kids cheeseburgers were ok. My daughter had to dump 2 packets of red peppers into her chicken soup to make it edible. I would go back and try the meatballs and rice, which I almost got, but I won't go out of my way to eat here again. It was probably the single most disappointing quick service meal I have had at WDW. One more stop on the monorail and we could have eaten at the Gasparilla Grill at Grand Floridian, my favorite quick service. read more

The bacon was perfectly cooked and the Tonga toast was as good as I remember. Definitely try it without syrup first; it's covered with cinnamon sugar. My last couple bites that were sitting directly on the plate were greasy but otherwise it was excellent. Everything was clean and neat. I came here to look at the Christmas decorations, but there wasn't many. If you plan on resort, hopping to look at Christmas decorations, this is definitely one you can skip. Grand Floridian had the best tree (outside of the parks) and gingerbread house. The Disney Yacht club had a huge chocolate merry go round. read more

This is the quick service restaurant at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. The past few times I have eaten here have been when the wait for Trader Sam's nearby was too long so I opted to sit here and order drinks from the terrace bar outside. It's the next best option and you can bring them inside, if you're eating inside. My favorite menu item is Thai Coconut Meatballs. It comes with coconut cream sauce over rice. Delicious. The last time I was there, there was a nacho item on the menu. That was also excellent and good for sharing. They also have bottles of water and wine and beer in case you want to grab something from the refrigerator. They have a full soda selection that you can fill yourself. There are two rooms of seating so you can eat in the restaurant. read more

Disney's Quick serve eatery at the Polynesian resort is a must go to when you're staying and want something to eat. The lines aren't long, well managed and they package everything up so you can take it to go if you'd like. Their menu consists of Polynesian inspired flavors or American offerings, and a kids menu. They serve coke products for you as well. Souvenir cups are available to purchase or, If you're using one of their paper cups, you are limited to 3 refills by their machines. There is seating available inside and out for your enjoyment, it is located near the volcano pool, so you can get your swim on just after you've eaten ( please wait 30 minutes though for practical reasons) read more

Our favorite quick service in all of wdw. This is the home of the parmesan black pepper wings, the coconut curry meatballs and the pulled pork nachos. You can't go wrong with this place. The only thing missing is the tonga toast with the strawberry sauce (which I still have to go to kona cafe to get) Easily the highest rating from us. Worth coming to the poly for this feast read more

As a local passholder - this is one of our favorite best kept secret quick service stops. It's consistently excellent quality food, decent prices (for Disney), and you can't beat the ambiance of sitting outside near the pool / Polynesian vibe. Occasionally, they won't let you park here because they have lots of people abusing the system and using their parking lot: but just hop over to TTC and park and ride the monorail in. There is something so nostalgic about the smell of the Polynesian lobby! We love that we can pop right next door for a dole whip afterwards. My only feedback is we have noticed over the last year: portions are significantly smaller. We hope Disney boosts back up in serving more food. I was still hungry after the Thai meatballs. My recommendation: the Thai coconut meatballs, pulled pork nachos or shrimp noodle bowl. Photos attached! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 read more

After a long day at Magic Kingdom we hopped on a tram and went to the Polynesian for dinner at their quick service spot, Capt Cook's. Seating is available inside and outside - and the view outside is gorgeous near the pool and palm trees. We enjoyed the noodles and pork nachos. My husband and I split the dishes plus each got a side salad and drink. The nachos had pineapple salsa on them which made them sweeter than I'd hoped and the nachos were slightly soggy. Given the option between the two dishes, pick the noodles. My kids were happy with the burgers and fries. I highly recommend getting to the Polynesian for a quick bite. It's close and a beautiful space to be! read more

I promise, I'll make this short hahaha! If you're going to, have been to Disney World, this place is a MUST! Disney's Polynesian Village Resort period is a place just to check out just for the beauty of it all. We had to eat here because the restaurant my buddy wanted to take me to for breakfast that morning, was full :( and I had to catch a flight. Doesn't matter tho, he got what he wanted at this place and so did I. They serve basically what is served upstairs, but less items. I mean, it's more of a cafe than a restaurant...if that makes sense. I had Mickey Mouse waffles and just seeing them made me happy, tasting them made me even happier. I mean, Disney just makes anyone happy! The resort, the restaurant, the view to the Magic Kingdom and the castle, all of it was just so wonderful. Polynesian Village was my last stop before coming back to Idaho and I'm so glad my buddy brought me here as my farewell to Florida. The food is fantastic, the prices....WOWWWW!! INSANE!!! Small bottle of orange juice...FIVE. DOLLARS!!! FIVVVVVE! I mean....FIVE. DOLLARS! hahaha! I about fell TF OVER! haha! I still got one lol. Bitch gotta have something to draaank! Hahaha! The staff, I noticed in most restaurants on Disney's property....very standoffish, not engaging, SOOOOOO many of them don't speak English very well or just don't speak it at all. That's not a bad thing to point out. So SJWs, relax, hahaha! I'm just saying that they should be able to understand most of it. Just my opinion. When you do ask them something, they are usually nice, but they just smile and point to a guy who does speak English hahaha! If you don't go to them, they won't say anything to you lol. It's not something ima lose sleep on, but yeah, it's just something people should know/expect. Walking through the resort is a massive treat for anyone. Very tropical, very Hawaii-y feeling, beautiful flowers, palms...truly an exquisite resort. I loved all of it. I'd KILL to spend a nighte there. Actually, I wouldn't mind staying at pretty much all of them.. Disney is genius in everything they do...when it comes to presentation. Ok, said I wouldn't make this long and ima stick to that. SO! Headed to Disney World? This is one place you need to check out. If you can't get into the main restaurant, just head downstairs and go to this little restaurant/cafe. You will not be disappointed.

While on our vacation here in Disney, we made an effort to come out to the different resorts and try their breakfast options. My wife and I always like to share and this time around we got the Tonga toast and the Power breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was an a vegan option and the the eggs and sausage really seemed to be as close to the real thing as it gets. As for the Tonga toast, that really hit the spot for me. With a layer of banana in the middle and a crispy coating of sugar on the outside the only thing I added was a bit of peanut butter to give it a little boost. I would come back for that anytime. read more

Cooketize me CAP'N! (I know, booooo!) Captain Cook's is the Polynesian's resident counter service eatery; every resort on Disney property has one. While they all serve a core of the same items like cookies, cakes, and hot food, they also serve some products unique to the resort. I stopped here once for lunch during my latest Disney trip. Looking at the menu I wanted something a little unique, and their grilled chicken sandwich popped out as an option. While it had your typical condiments and such, it also contained pineapple salsa which I thought was a nice, Polynesian touch. I was correct - while it wasn't amazing by any means the salsa added a nice layer of flavor. The chicken was substantial and the bun wasn't dry at all - basics that were a win. Captain Cook's also has other Poly treats such as macadmia nut cookies, and right around the corner at the Pineapple Lanai is the famous Dole Whip. Overall, a solid spot to grab a bite with a nice open layout and plenty of seating. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, but if I ever stay in the Poly again I would probably return. read more

An appreciated option For part of our Orlando vacation we stayed at the Polynesian Resort where we quickly discovered the convenience of Capt. Cook's. This is the more reasonably priced open 24/7 spot, located at the Great Ceremonial House. We ended up eating food from Capt. Cook's several times during our stay. The limited menu offers a diversity of items, from American fare to Polynesian favorites. There also offer kid's selection, and flatbreads. On my first tired and hungry visit I tried their Aloha Pork Sandwich. It had a tropical flavor that I found very good. Capt.

This place was pretty good. We had an overall positive experience. Pan Asian Noodles and Vegetables + Tofu - This was done just okay. The noodles were basically ramen stir fried with a variety of vegetables with a protein being an addon fee. We decided on tofu, which was firm, chewy and fresh. The overall dish though was completed overpowered by the taste of ginger. I like ginger, but man, this really knocked off your socks. Chicken Wings - Fried well with a nice sauce. Really sticky hearty wings. Would get this again. Asian-style Noodle salad - Our favorite of the night. Had outstanding flavor, nothing was overpowering and everything complimented each other well. The oranges and peanuts added great contrasting flavors. read more

Definitely one of the better/more exotic Disney resort quick service spots. A couple folks in my group tried the Pan-Asian noodles with chicken and loved it. Said there was tons of chicken in there, and it was very filling even though it looks like a small portion. I got the pulled pork nachos, which I had 2 years ago at Tambu Lounge upstairs. Honestly, it wasn't as good as the first time I got them. I feel like they've changed the recipe. It used to be a combination of potato chips and fried wontons, but this time it was just potato chips. Also it's obviously supposed to have cheese, and I'm not gonna lie but I didn't spot any cheese on my nachos. The toppings were tasty, but they just didn't live up to my memory unfortunately. A tried one of the new cupcakes, the millennial pink, which is filled with a guava cream. It was really delicious! Although my nachos didn't live up to par, perhaps if I hadn't eaten them years ago I wouldn't have noticed a difference in the quality. Otherwise the rest of my family enjoyed their food, so no complaints from them. The staff was also really nice. read more

First time staying at the Polynesian Resort. We've eaten at the restaurant upstairs and it's always been good so we assumed the food at Capt Cooks would be similar. OH HOW WE WERE WRONG!!! - noodle dish was cold and flavorless. - "Korean chicken wings" were Buffalo wings with Buffalo flavor and then a side of cut up purple cabbage. - ordering system on call ahead was a mess. Took forever and would have been easier to just order from the line because they got food quicker. - WAY overpriced. For a nice Disney resort, they have to do better than this!!! read more

Sadly one of my favorite staples at the Polynesian is starting to show signs of guest service decay. I went to the resort in the hopes to have their legendary wonton/Pork nachos. I went ahead and loaded the Disney App which was having issues throughout the day. But technology is a fickle thing it either works well or doesn't. So upon arriving I activated the app and tried to order it. But it no longer showed on the menu. The cast member at the register appeared to be in what I will call a mood. I have other words to describe it but professional basis forbids it. I asked very nicely if it was taken off the menu. And she had picked up the sign and said it's here in a very unpleasant manner. I then explained I apologize but it's not on the app any more. Stating I notice the app had issues throughout the day. 7/22/2021: Thursday. And so I explained that it wasn't on the apps order food option anymore. Instead of saying let me let my supervisor no. She just proceeded to say it's on the app. And disregarded my observation. I hope Disney addresses this quickly. If Disney wants to continue to operate with "Cast Members" that don't take what a guests says to heart. Or addresses observations made. They are not to big to fail. What's sad is I know several chefs that work at the Poly and I make it a point to drop in and support their kitchen as a form of professional courtesy. read more

When it comes to Disney Resort Quick Service options, Captain Cook's is probably my favorite. I love that there are options inspired by the Polynesian islands, such as the Pan Asian Noodles and the Pulled Pork Nachos. In fact, the options here are more varied than what we found at Aulani. Captain Cook's is not a gourmet experience, but for a quick option it's a fun and efficient choice. read more
