Adventure explorer themes are found throughout the restaurant with their menu items to match. It's located on the ground floor of the resort with the pool nearby. Reservations are not required and there's plenty of seating with live entertainment on select nights. Their menu covers a wide variety including such items as pretzels, wings, fried green tomatoes, crawfish chowder, chicken noodle soup, salads, short rib burger, cheeseburgers, caesar wrap, mahi burger, and flatbread. Some of their desserts include smores, key lime pie and creme brulee. Flatbread: Like a large pizza. Lots of mozzarella, pepperoni, ham and sausage. All fresh. Yom Yom Yom Roasted Vegetable Mezza Platter: Assorted roasted veggies, pita chips, falafel, a little cucumber salad and big heaping scoop of roasted garlic hummus and a cup of tzatziki. Presentation was beautiful. Tasted even better. Yom Yom Yom Loews Classic Double Patty Burger: Griddled double patty, pickles, with cognac peppercorn sauce topped with american cheese. The burger was simple but delicious. I really wanted some crunch so I asked and our waiter me a small piece of lettuce. The fries were perfect but I wanted some ketchup so what did they bring me? These cute little sealed glass jars of Heinz tomato ketchup (see pic). Beer battered fish and chips: Beautifully battered and sealed in freshness, the fish was delicious. It was served with a mayo based slaw that was equally fulfilling. Oh and the fries were also good. Heirloom & Burrata Salad: A bed of spring mix and white balsamic dressing, a piece of prosciutto ham, a large dollop of burrata cheese with large cut pieces of orange Florida heirloom tomatoes. This contrast of flavors from the cheese to the prosciutto to the balsamic dressing is noticeable. Yom Yom Yom. Loews Classic Chicken Noodle Soup: Made with bone broth, artisan pasta and pulled chicken. This was a classic elevated. Yom Yom Yom I expected more from a resort hotel restaurant especially one that was on the grounds of Universal Resort Orlando and I wasn't disappointed. Of course prices will be also be elevated, but then again what did you expect if you're on the ground of Universal. There was room for improvement when it came to the service, but we were on vacation and we had a good time.

I noticed reviews here are mixed so that made me even more excited to try it out for ourselves…read more Upon having a craving for French onion soup, I decided to book dinner here on a night we'd be at Disney Springs, due to the restaurant's proximity. We opted to start with the soup and the butter board. The butter was really good and added a lot of nice flavor. The soup was heavy on the herbs so it wasn't my favorite that I had, but it was still good. My burger came cooked perfectly as requested, and I did not notice any charge to sub onion rings instead of the fries. I tried a bite of the prime rib and baked potato, and I enjoyed them as well. I definitely already suggested this restaurant to friends. Loved checking out the resort afterwards since we have not been here before.

Been wanting to try this place for a while so we decided to finally visit tonight…read more The place is pretty small with lots of mirrors making it look bigger. Due to its size, it was very loud, to the point we couldn't hear each other most the night. It was also very warm. Our server was Ana. She was nice but sadly we had some of the worse service we'd ever experienced, especially at Disney. Plates were never cleared, yet bringing new things out. Not once refilling out waters, which sat empty half the meal. And waiting about 20 mins or more to ask for the check. We tried two drinks- the watermelon spritz (made with seltzer instead of sprite) which was very good. Also the mint julep, which wasn't very good. For starters we tried the butter board, which was much different than we imagined. It was good, but wouldn't order again. We also tried the Brussel sprouts which were very good. The main reason I wanted to go here was for the prime rib. Unfortunately it was kind of mushy and very hard to cut. I had to ask for a replacement knife as the first one I was given wouldn't cut it at all. For the vegetable I ordered green beans, which were also very mushy. My partner ordered the scallop pasta, which he said he wouldn't get again, and smelled a bit fishy to me. For dessert we tried the crème brulee. It was very big, but way too sweet. We could only eat a few bites. I'm sad to say this was a huge miss for us and we won't be returning. Besides the food being lackluster, the service was very bad and the atmosphere was too loud and very hot.

Quick service is underrated... but when you find a gem, you keep going back!…read more The quick service restaurant at Grand Floridian Resort is Gasparilla Island Grill. Tucked outside by the boat docks, this restaurant allows mobile order. Whether you are staying at Grand or want to get away from the crowds in Magic Kingdom with a quick loop on the monorail, this quick service has plenty of good options. On our arrival day, we snagged: - Buffalo Chicken Flatbread - tons of bold flavor from the buffalo sauce, white cheddar, bacon, and blue cheese .. ours had a little too much blue - I wish they had an option to say "just a little stinky" - Macaroni and Cheese - THIS STUFF is like famous! Highly rated as the best Mac and cheese on WDW property and it lives up to it. The levels of flavor in the cheese sauce, the perfectly cooked and coated macaroni noodles... SOAPBOX moment... it ain't mac and cheese, if you use shells or cavatappi - macaroni is 50% of the business!! With plenty of seating inside and out, workers ready to grab your tray to clean up, multiple windows with direct views into the kitchen (no funny business allowed), and always a concatenation of fantastical sweet treats, Gasparilla is a thrilla of the Quick Service options!

Columbia Harbour House is a New England-inspired quick-service restaurant inside Magic Kingdom…read morePark at Walt Disney World. It opened in summer 1972, not long after Magic Kingdom's October 1971 opening to the public. Located in Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square area, Columbia Harbour House offers a menu of traditional American fare and seafood dishes, including burgers, fries, lobster rolls, fried shrimp, fish platters, chicken, and various sandwiches. The design motif features colonial New England architectural influences, nautical decor, and a quiet second-floor seating area. My family and I visited Columbia Harbour House for lunch this past summer while we were on a Walt Disney World Vacation. The place was hopping when we stopped in, probably due to its close proximity to popular Magic Kingdom attractions. We enjoyed all of the New England nautical decor as well as names that reminded us of some of our favorite beach area destinations in New England, such as Newport, Cape Cod, Plymouth and Long Island. After looking over the menu, I ordered the "Maple-Mustard Glazed Salmon" (w/ rice & green beans), my wife ordered the "Lobster Roll" (chilled lobster, mayonnaise, New England-style bun, French fries), our older son ordered the "Kids Grilled Salmon", and our younger son had the "Hushpuppes". Considering that the Columbia Harbour House is quick-srvice restaurant, everything was surprisingly delicious and flavorful! We were impressed! If you find yourself in Magic Kingdom and are looking for a quick, delicious, quality, decently priced lunch, then check out Columbia Harbour House!

I loved this restaurant a lot and it was probably the healthiest restaurant for fast dining…read morecompared to other fast food spots in Magic Kingdom. They served maple glazed salmon with white rice and steamed green beans. The food was steamed and very healthy for me. I was tired of the fried and fatty food options Magic Kingdom had. The salmon was very nice and soft. The salmon meat ripped off easily. The whole bowl was very soft and nice to my teeth. The white rice grains were separated and very fluffy to eat. The green beans were not hard and dry to eat. I loved the salmon bowl a lot. My daughter also got a kids salmon bowl and it came with a kid size drink of your choice. They had a lot of choose from, either it be water, soda, juice, or milk. We got apple juice with 2 sides (rice and beans). The place was very colonial and historical. The whole place had heavy set wooden chairs and tables that made a loud creak when you move them. There was a wheelchair and handicapped section that was roped off from the rest of the customers. A lot of seats in this place. Ordering was very fast in this place. I placed my order on mobile quickly and I got it in no time. I just had to go to the pickup window by number to pick up my order. One thing I loved about this place was that the kitchen staff gave me another apple juice with a straw when the first time I got the apple juice without a straw.

Overall 4 Stars…read more Located in the middle of lake where your have to traverse on one of the three bridges, this indoor / outdoor restaurant is located at the Disney Coronado resort Ambiance: 3.75 Stars Due to its open architecture, you get to experience and view the wonderful outdoor space. A chill but modern decor, you feel relax wearing your flops and casual clothing. However it is sophisticated enough if you want to dress a little bit more. Just be aware of the outside temperature and Florida's temperamental raining season. Cool one movement and hot and humid the next. A large bar is the centered of the restaurant where there are plenty of bar seats and the dining tables are situated for the views. Service: 4.5 Stars Our server was polite, friendly and professional. He had a wonderful special that made you feel important and relaxed. He answered our questions promptly and was able to accommodate a couple of requests. No hesitation, what so ever. Food: overall 3.5 Stars We ordered the following: Entree's 1. Villa del Lago Chicken Berry Salad - 3.5 Stars A Grilled Chicken, Mixed Greens, Citrus Segments, Seasonal Berries, Chili-Lime-dusted Cucumbers, Cotija Cheese, Orange Honey Mustard Vinaigrette. The grilled chicken was overcooked and dry. Besides from that, the rest of the salad was good and the portion was big enough if you a protein with it. 2. Plancha-seared Mahi Mahi and Shrimp - 4 Stars The Jasmine Rice was slightly overcooked but the Bok Choy, and Thai Red Coconut-Curry Mint sauce helped the rice to make it moist. The Thai chili sauce was creamy but the Thai chili itself will hit you at the back of the throat. Spicy enough to make you noticed. The plump shrimp were tender and juicy. The mahi mahi was seasoned well and the fish was pan fried. Moist and very tender. View the Video. 3. Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl* - 3 Stars Jasmine Rice, Mango Rum-Coconut-Lime Sauce, Vegetable Melee, Sriracha "Aïoli," Grilled Pineapple . It was a slight disappointment. Too much of sauce overpowered the tuna and other ingredients. Highly recommend to get the sauce on the side. Appetizer: Trio of Dips - 4 Stars House-made Guacamole, Roasted Corn Dip, White Queso Dip, Tortilla Chips The corn dip was the favorite, while the Guacamole was the second and the queso came in last. Flavor profile of the corn dip with the oxaco cheese and the seasoning made it super yummy! I recommend the restaurant and looking forward to visiting the resort and restaurant again. Bon Appetite!

A Galactic Feast with a Pixie-Dusted Touch: Out-of-this-World Efficiency!…read more Oh boy! Our lunch at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo was a highlight of our park hopping. While this intergalactic eatery is actually nestled in the heart of Galaxy's Edge at Hollywood Studios, the experience was purely magical from start to finish! Magic at Your Fingertips The real "hero" of our visit was the Disney App. Even with the crowds buzzing like a busy day at the Main Street Electrical Parade, mobile ordering allowed us to bypass the long lines entirely. It is incredibly fast and truly makes dining in the park a "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" experience. We were able to find a table with ease, despite the hustle and bustle of the galaxy! A "Mouseterpiece" of a Meal Since we were looking for a light bite to tide us over until our evening feast, we opted for the Children's Meal, and it was practically perfect in every way: Chicken Tenders & Mac & Cheese: Fresh, hot, and exactly the comfort food we needed. The Standout Broccoli: It's hard to pick a favorite, but the broccoli was cooked to perfection--bright green, perfectly crispy, and definitely earned the "Mouse-Approved" seal of quality! Whistle While You Work The staff here truly embodies the Disney spirit. They were incredibly attentive, "whistling while they worked" to clear and sanitize tables quickly so new guests could settle in and enjoy the atmosphere. It was just enough fuel to keep our spirits high for the rest of our adventures. We will definitely be docking here again in the future and highly recommend it to any fellow travelers looking for a seamless, tasty meal. As Mickey would say, "See ya real soon!"

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo is a quick-service restaurant located inside Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge…read moreat Disney's Hollywood Studios, designed to look like a functioning cargo hangar rather than a traditional theme park dining area. Walking inside, the industrial details immediately stand out, with shipping crates, cargo containers, and Star Wars-inspired props filling the space. It is one of the more immersive dining locations in the park because the environment feels like a natural extension of Galaxy's Edge instead of just a restaurant placed inside it. The food was a major reason this stood out compared to many other quick-service options at Disney. The menu focuses on more creative dishes rather than typical theme park meals, with flavors and presentations that feel more unique. The smoked kaadu pork ribs were the highlight of my visit, with tender meat, a flavorful tangy sauce, and a cabbage slaw that added a nice contrast to the richness of the dish. The fried chicken was another solid option, with good seasoning and satisfying sides, while the plant-based choices also felt thoughtfully prepared rather than being simple alternatives. One thing I appreciated about Docking Bay 7 is that it offers the convenience of quick service while still feeling closer to a full meal experience. The portions are filling, and the dishes have enough variety that it works well whether you are looking for something familiar or want to try something inspired by the Star Wars universe. It is a nice change of pace from the standard burgers, fries, and snacks found throughout many theme parks. The ordering process is simple, but the restaurant can get crowded during peak lunch and dinner hours. I used Mobile Order through the My Disney Experience app, which made the experience much smoother by allowing me to place my order ahead of time and pick up my food without waiting in the main line. During a busy park day, this made a noticeable difference and saved time that could be spent exploring Galaxy's Edge. The seating area is another strong part of the experience. The indoor dining space has plenty of air conditioning and comfortable seating surrounded by the same cargo bay theme, making it a great place to take a break from the Florida heat. There is also outdoor seating available, but the indoor area is where the atmosphere really shines because of the detailed theming around you. Overall, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo is one of the better quick-service dining options at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The combination of immersive theming, creative food, comfortable seating, and convenient ordering makes it more than just a place to grab a meal. It feels like another part of the Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge experience while still delivering food quality that makes it worth visiting.

I had never been to this restaurant, but had heard good and funny things about it so I was excited to try it out. We did the all you can eat breakfast buffet and the food was delicious. Server was hysterical, making jokes the entire time! Do not answer your phone or sit at the table to make a call or ask for extra ketchup (or anything extra!!) and you will be in for a funny surprise. Great for kids and adults!

This was our second time eating at Whispering Canyon Café because our first visit was so much fun…read more We were really looking forward to coming back, but this visit just didn't live up to the first one. After we ordered, it took about 45 minutes for our food to come out. Once we got it, our server rarely came back to check on us. My wife didn't get a single drink refill the entire meal, and it was hard to get anyone's attention when we needed something. What should have been about an hour turned into a two-and-a-half-hour meal. That being said, the atmosphere here is still one of the best at Disney. The restaurant is beautifully themed, the lodge setting is warm and inviting, and it's easy to see why so many families love coming here. The playful servers, the ketchup bottle fun, and all the interaction with guests make it a great place for families. It's the kind of restaurant where everyone, from little kids to grandparents, can have a good time. I honestly think our server may have just been having an off day, because our first visit was fantastic. We won't let one experience keep us from coming back, and we're looking forward to giving it another try.
