I wish DFB would create a quiz that asks you which foods you like/dislike and what kind of theming you like then reveals which Disney restaurants you should eat at. 🍽 How handy that would be!

Boma is my hands down favorite of all the places we ate. The soups are fantastic!

Scifi dine in is a must do every time I go. The burgers and shacks are great and there is no other restaurant like it anywhere.

I've been to Disney World around 8-10 times, I've lost track at this point, and I love it each time! The best places consistently that my family and I enjoy are Raglan Road, 'Ohana & Flame Tree Barbeque.

The Pizza at Via Napoli in Epcot is the only good pizza in Disney

[ericlindquist]

Sci-Fi has THE best service we’ve had at Disney, and that’s based on multiple visits. Coupled with the best theming, and it is a must visit. Judging them on their steak is like judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree; that’s not what they do.

As a previous Cast Member, Satuli Canteen is AMAZING love love love love LOVE

My experience at Sci-Fi Dine In and Be Our Guest were drastically different but we loved them both because they were both fun and immersive thematically and we lucked out and got some really romantic secluded tables for just the two of us. Even though we weren’t on our honeymoon, it felt very romantic to eat at both those restaurants during our last trip to WDW. Wouldn’t change those memories for anything. 🥰🥰🥰

I completely agree about the Pizza. I worked at DAK and since I couldn't cook, i had Disney lunch every day, and the Pizza is bad even at the discounted CM price. When I finally got to go to Universal and had THEIR pizza I was blown away by how good theirs was compared to Disney's and it's frustrating because everyone hates the pizza but they will NOT change it!

[mjpascuzzi]

Sanaa is awesome, especially a window table. Bread service and Butter Chicken should not be missed. Another reason it may be high on CM list is that they get a 40% discount at lunch, a very nice perk.

How did Epcot restaurants miss the best list? Some of the best food in all of Disney World at Epcot.

I used to work at Disney, and I completely agree With the SciFi being awful. I went there once, and my meal was so gross I almost threw up. I don’t know what it was. I couldn’t eat it. I felt guilty. Amazing concept though!

If you are looking for an off the beaten path, the Turf Club at Saratoga Springs is absolutely amazing. Practically no one knows about it. You can walk to it from Disney Springs, if the springs are a bit too crowded. It’s a bit of a hike, though!

[nooodisaster]

I actually completely agree about Sci-Fi Dine In. We ordered 2 burgers and it took nearly an HOUR for our food to get there. We literally watched the entire film reel loop before we could eat! The atmosphere is fun but it just isn't worth the wait and average quality.

[MP-cruf]

On my family’s last trip to Hollywood Studios, we had an awesome steak dinner at the Sci-Fi theater. It was fun, the food was great, and the service was amazing. Sad to hear that others have not had the same experience we did.
