    Bacon Mac and cheese tater tots

    Fast! Tasty! Quite filling! Nothing is cheap in Disney but can't complain about the size of this serving.

    *Great Vegetarian find at Disney World!* The Friar's Nook in Magic Kingdom is a quick service restaurant featuring hot dogs and tots. The vegan bratwurst was served in a flavorful pretzel bun with fried tater tots (which were greasy but in a good way!) The brat had a snap like a real sausage and was great topped with sauerkraut ketchup and mustard (all optional). Only down side was the wait, which was about 20 minutes. On the side I requested the cheese sauce as I split it with my vegan wife and I am not.

    Mac and cheese with tots, bratwurst, and Buffalo chicken tots. All delicious! Needs more seating, I can't imagine how insane it would be to get a table if the parks were full!

    Huge cinnamon roll - extra frosting on the side

    Over rated and lack luster food options at best! The service staff is great but the quality and options depletes all positives

    Such a fun spot for happy hour! We came in ready to relax and left already planning our next visit…read more The drink specials were generous and the vibe was warm and lively without being too loud to actually talk. Hands down the star of the show was the shrimp dish, perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best we've had in a while. We ended up ordering a second round just to enjoy it a little longer. Service was friendly and attentive the whole time, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great happy hour with a standout menu item, The Whyskey delivers. We'll definitely be back!

We chose seats at the bar and were greeted promptly by Brian and Rowan. Because there were a lot of people and just the two of them, they were running around taking orders from tables as well as servicing the bar so it did take a little bit to get our drink orders in, but we were enjoying looking through the whiskey library anyways. I started off with a Suncreek blonde ale. It is strawberry blonde ale and it's delicious. My husband started with the Yingling. He keeps hoping they will bring the Kentucky bourbon ale back on tap again. For lunch, I got the whiskey dip which is full of chopped beef with cheese and onions. Served with an herb, dipping sauce, and your choice of side. I opted for the sweet potato waffle fries because they are delicious. My husband got a burger with fries cooked perfectly. Once we are done with our food, we did opt for a taster. My husband had to go through several different bottles before he found one they actually had in stock. That is one of the downside is the whiskey library that is online is not always reflective of what they actually have in stock as he was really looking forward to trying the old Fitzgerald birthday, but alas, they did not have it in stock. He ended up going with the jack Daniels 12 year and really enjoyed it. I opted for the widow Jane 14 year very sweet easy to drink. Great service from Bryan and Rowan always enjoy seeing them behind the bar

We didn't have a reservation but just walked up to the bar entrance. With a bar of full of stools and six tables, they have plenty of spots for walk ups. With the circular shape of the bar area, you get an unobstructed massive view out to the grounds and vistas! We had the: Wayfinder Burger - AMAZING BURGER (my personal third place fav on WDW property)! Crispy edges on a hand formed patty, dynamic volcano sauce that isn't as spicy as it is flavorful, and an onion jam that you'll want to add to everything! Pineapple Barbecue Chicken Sliders - with dark meat and white meat, you can tell that the meat is fresh and moist. The pairing of adobo mayo and pineapple barbecue is sublime!!! Sweet Potato Fries - no need for ketchup. These are perfectly seasoned to eat Macaroni Salad - not your grandma's dry stuff, they have creamy, eggy, little spicy flavor bomb Mac salad Non-Alcoholic Pina Colada - don't miss this! Whimsical presentation and a coconut cream splash of happiness for your taste buds The staff is amazing. The view is stunning. The food is divine. Top flight WDW location.

Yes, they used antlers in all of the decorating!! We enjoyed the: Warm Cinnamon Roll - massive portion, fresh baked and sliced out of a casserole of cinnamon rolls. The dough is sweet and soft, plenty of cinnamon, and pro tip- you can ask for a dipping cup of more icing Ham & Gruyere Tart - they have had this in many styles throughout the years but this may be the best! Flaky pastry dough, thin sliced ham, and plenty of ooey gooey Gruyère. It's a banger! And it deserves to be loved Vanilla Cold Brew Coffee - Not many places in Magic Kingdom to indulge in cold brew and you might as well pair it with this food! They have four serving lines so the staff gets your order in quick... and they fill your order before taking the next, so the service is super fast!! Plenty of seats on either side but the right side has the vibes with Gaston's chair and tons of decor!

It's a croissant filled with a vanilla bean cream custard, topped with a sugary, carmalized crust, just like you would find on top of a traditional Crème Brûlée dessert. Absolutely fantastic! Jeffrey's Coffee Cold Brew French Roast (also at Gaston's Tavern) is the perfect mid-day pick me up that is super refreshing and also gives you the energy boost you'll likely need. You can add vanilla or caramel flavor too!

The menu is preset so be aware of that going in, but the menu is pretty kid (and adult) friendly as it's Thanksgiving themed. The interior is beautiful and it's a nice, relaxing spot to eat at for a break. Our waiter was very friendly and the food came out pretty quick. As a heads up this is an all you can eat establishment (for around $40-45 bucks a head) so you can eat to your heart's desire. The meal starts off with their house salad featuring greens, apples, cranberries, and cheese all tossed together. It was surprisingly much better than we thought it would be and if not for maximizing what we ate while there we wouldn't have minded getting more. Following up the salad is a feast of: roasted turkey, pot roast, pork loin, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and Mac and cheese. We absolutely dove in. The turkey was alright, not dry (a huge plus) with the pot roast being a much better option in our opinion. The pork loin was delicious with a nice sweet glaze on it. The mac and cheese likewise was good and creamy along with a savory and filling stuffing. The only misses we would say were the mashed potatoes which felt thin and flavorless and then the green beans which really just took up space. For dessert they have their oooey gooey toffee cake which is very sweet but admittedly difficult to put down after the main course. It's not overly sweet too which is nice to finish your meal on. By the end of our meal we were stuffed and ready to tackle the rest of the night. We would say for the price this might not be the best option for those doing Disney on a budget but if you are a pro at making buffets stretch then this is a decent deal. A solid, filling meal all around and one that is very palette friendly for all.

Everything was delicious, but the pork was a tad dry. There is some background music, but it is at a low volume so conversation was easy. Dessert is ooey gooey toffee cake, covered in caramel and toffee pieces with vanilla ice cream. It is very sweet but amazing. Russell was very friendly and attentive. The price is $44 per adult.

    This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

    This spot is perfect for relaxing while you people watch. We always get our squeeze bottles…read morerefilled but Ill let you in on a secret a little later on in this post.

The packaging was organized, branded, and thoughtfully put together, which created a positive first impression before even opening the containers. The pho was the highlight. We tried the Black Ox with added tripe and fried garlic, along with a build-your-own bowl featuring brisket, thinly sliced eye round steak, fresh veggies, and beef broth. The ability to customize the bowls allowed everyone to build something they enjoyed, and the flavors came together well. We also ordered the 2-D Crispy Wings with sweet Thai chili sauce, which were a great addition to the meal. The food looked appealing when opened, and the quality held up well even as takeout. What stood out most was the attention to detail. Between the customization options, presentation, and organization of the order, it felt like a restaurant that understands the full customer experience, not just the food itself. A solid choice for pho and Vietnamese comfort food. We would definitely order from Twenty Pho Hour again.
