“It was our first time at this restaurant with my wife. We had read so many positive reviews that we couldn't resist trying it out. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent service. Even though we arrived early, we were seated promptly. We decided to order the skirt steak, which was highly recommended. However, it arrived slightly undercooked to our liking. The staff promptly took it back and returned it perfectly cooked, and it tasted incredible. As an appetizer, we ordered the mac and cheese bites. My wife had a white wine, and everything was delicious. Manny, the server, was exceptional and provided top-notch service throughout our meal. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning to this restaurant in the future.”
“Service was fast and quick! Lely was our server and was amazing! We were checked on often and our orders were fulfilled quickly! She explained the dining plan to us when we were confused and had an amazing, positive attitude. Our food was delicious and filling. We were sat in the spot we wanted quickly and enjoyed the fish next to our table”
“The customer service and food were superb. Kevin waited on my girlfriend and I, and he made the experience even more lovely. The view was absolutely incredible as well. We could see all the parks from the 17th floor and we were able to see the sunset. Perfect date night.”

“First time this week while on vacation which turned into a second time yesterday. Food is top shelf and service is great. Highly recommend and I know we will be back when in Orlando in the future”
“Sam (our server) and Angeline (our Sommelier), along with a very nice young man (been there about 8 months) who brought us in (sorry I didn’t catch his name) made sure we wanted for nothing. We asked for suggestions and they delivered all the way through dessert!! Professional, engaging, and genuinely nice people! Oh, and the food!!!!”

“Was visiting and wanted go check Disney Springs and ofc I had to get ice cream so my boyfriend and I want to Salt & Straw - Nevin helped us out and was so amazing! Super patient and not only let us try all the flavors but also gave his opinion and some information how the ice cream is made! We ended up getting honey lavender and panther coffee sooo good :)”

“Rainforest Cafe is amazing, they have really great food and the staff is great as well. Our server Raychelle did a FANTASTIC JOB! she was very helpful! Service and atmosphere and food was awesome! The bathrooms we're clean as well, store was fun to look around at. I will definitely come back to this place! The food came out fast as well and was fresh! The only downside I would give about this place is, If people are coming just for the rainforest Cafe there should be separate parking so we don't need to pay $30 for parking, other than that it was a great time!”
“I loooove this place! I come at least once every other month when I'm in town. The food is amazing, and the service makes it even better — they even know me by name! Ralph was my server yesterday, and his service was truly the highlight of my day. If you're in Disney Springs, I can assure you this is the best place to come (and I've visited all of them!).”
“We did not have a reservation but heard the outdoor and indoor bar are full service and open seating so we decided to give it a go. We came at dinner time, but a little later about 7:30 or 8:30pm ish. And there were open seats at the bar. Bar service was fine, we sat on the end so we were ignored a tiny bit. We ordered a refill moonshine (you can get a refillable squeeze bottle), and a wine. We ordered the church lady deviled eggs because we had heard they were good. We enjoyed them but we felt they didn’t live up to the hype, but we ate them all. We each ordered a chicken sandwich, one spicy and one not. And we got mac and cheese for a side. The chicken is perfectly cooked, tender, juicy, flavorful, and crispy. The mac and cheese is perfectly browned and super cheesy and flavorful, everything was a home run. We will definitely be back in the future. And be sure to check out the bar if you don’t have a reservation!
We had been here years ago and wanted to come back again! Our server was so outgoing and friendly, and she explained some of her favorites on the menu. We tried some moonshine as well as some sangria. We got the smothered chicken and boy was this more than enough to share! It came with sides and a huge piece of chicken. The chicken was so good, it was moist and tender and flavorful. It was even still amazing as leftovers the next day. We also got the chicken and dumpling soup which was basically deconstructed chicken pot pie. It was a large portion and was pretty good. We also got the regular and the hot chicken sandwich with mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was sooo good and the chicken sandwiches were eaten so fast because they were so good. This place is known for its fried chicken and it is easy to see why. We will definitely be coming back here again when time allows us, because everything was a home run from service to food to drinks.”
“A Flavorful Evening with Stellar Service We stopped in for apps and drinks this evening and had a fantastic experience. Our server, Nayeli, was outstanding—attentive, knowledgeable, and quick with spot-on recommendations. The clothesline bacon was a definite highlight. A savory-sweet indulgence, but what really surprised me was the rosemary garnish. Just a touch of it with each bite completely opened up the flavor—adding a subtle, aromatic layer that elevated the whole dish. It's an unexpected twist that truly works. Also, shoutout to the bar: the scotch Old Fashioned was one of the best I’ve had—easily in my top five. Balanced, smooth, and clearly made with intention. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates bold flavors, thoughtful cocktails, and sharp, attentive service. We’ll absolutely be back.”
“Great idea, but a bit raucous in execution. Walked in with no idea of the theme or options. It was so busy and noisy, and I had to ask a lot of questions to know what to do. The staff only put minimal amount of each toppings, unless you ask for more. Overall, I would give it 5 stars on my next visit, now that I understand how to do it. The pizza and everything is delicious and fairly priced...it's just that my first experience was not the greatest.”
“Customer service is amazing! We had late reservations and the kids were hungry. They let us check in and took us back as soon as they could. Food is delicious. We would eat here again! Best place yet out of all of the parks. We highly recommend!”

“I was about getting a new home for myself and family with my savings after my retirement, not know i was interacting with a swindler who told me she’s a realtor. Now i see reasons why it’s good buying properties in person, But I thank God I was able to recover all the money with the help of Lisa the newly appointed lost fund recovery agent by Donald Trump, she’s an amazing woman. If you’ve been swindled before then I can help you with her info so you can reach out to her for your recovery”
“Not one of the best places in the park to stop at but they do have fast counter food service and refreshments. There also are some drums, as part of their theming, so the kids can play with them and have fun, plus it has shade. Not the best but a good option if you are nearby.”
“Disney world makes the perfect iconic Turkey Leg. It is incredibly and perfectly juicy, tender, flavourful, huge, and filling. It is available here at Fife & Drum Tavern in Epcot which also sells beer, popcorn, hot dogs, and other disney snacks like Mickey Pretzels with cheese. Makes for a quick and tasty meal on the go as you explore the world showcase.”

“After a long park day our family wanted a good meal. The food was excellent (we got the scallops and tuna tartar for apps and both were amazing, corvina fish, filet and our boys split the strip steak). Our serve David R. Was very personable, extremely accommodating and checked on us frequently. He even made our boys bday month special with a delicious lava cake which they devoured. We will be back and will ask for David R again!”
“William, our server was very attentive. We ordered the Salmon and NY Strip. The Salmon came out undercooked and still pink in the middle, we informed William and he immediately apologized and took the plate back. Not even a minute later the FB Director came to our table and apologized and ensured that they are disappointed in the quality and will bring a new Salmon. The FB Director then walked the new salmon to our table, waited for my girlfriend to cut into it and approve and it was delicious. They even got us a dessert on the house. While mistakes and human error will always happen it was very nice to see the steps the team followed to ensure they made up for the slight inconvenience. A job well done and thank you for a great dinner!”

Yes, Hulk Hogan used racial slurs in a private conversation that was recorded and subsequently leaked in 2015. In the audio recording, Hogan is heard making racist remarks and using the N-word while discussing his daughter's relationship with a Black man. He also reportedly made similar comments in a radio interview from 2012 that resurfaced around the same time. Hogan later apologized for his words, stating that they were unacceptable and not representative of who he is. However, the incident caused a major scandal, leading to the termination of his contract with the WWE and his removal from the WWE Hall of Fame at the time. Buyer accepts terms of this sale Look, let me put it this way: with me, you’re number one and there isn’t even a number two.I’m not afraid of storms, for I’m learning how to sail my ship”
“I was lucky enough to score a re-opening day breakfast reservation. I was sat in the main dining area with half booth and chair. The atmosphere was lively and festive. It is an all you care to eat buffet with all the traditional breakfast fare. Of note are the breakfast pizza, carved ham, and personal favorite Strawberry soup! Non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price and a selection of alcoholic drinks are available as well. The characters are what makes the experience worth it!”

“Wow, this hit the spot! It's hot, and I am tired from all of the walking, lol. So right in front of us is the Sunshine Tree Terrace. A quick stop 'n go type of place that offers soft-serve ice cream. Their special is this citrusy flavor called Orange Cream Float! The price was $5.29. It reminds me of the creamsicles from years ago. I'm happy again!”
“Who wouldn’t want to eat at two time Tournament of Champions casual dining restaurant in Disney Springs?!
We ordered the tandoori chicken poutine and a garlic naan for a late afternoon snack.
It was delicious and not too much that we were full from it before our dinner reservation three hours later.”
“We had a wonderful breakfast. Both my sister and niece have food allergies and were attended to by both our waiter Tim (who was absolutely fabulous) and the manager Mark when we had a questionable issue that was resolved promptly without incident. The food was fantastic and I was in town visiting them and I was not disappointed in my experience here. Both Tim and Mark ate assets to your team.”
“Very impressed with the service and friendly staff in the Mara. Tucked out of the way near the pool I arrived a few mins before closing after a long day and night in the parks and was not expecting any hot food to still be available but the staff went out of their way to accommodate everyone in line who wanted a late pizza! The food was fresh and really tasty, went back for breakfast in the morning and it was just as good with a good quality choice of food, quick and friendly service. Sat at a table outside near the pool which was a very relaxing way to have breakfast and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this amazing hotel. I'll definitely be back!”
“My kids and I were at Disney springs today, we are in town for the #garysenisefoundations #snowballexpress and one of your workers and older gentleman who was wearing a yellow ball cap/white shirt started talking with them and asked what they were in town for and knew what the shirts they were wearing were about and ended up purchasing their drinks for them. My daughter came out and told me and as she did she started crying because of the kindness he had shown and how much it meant that he knew of our family’s loss, so thank you to this man for your gesture, you made my kids see that the whole world hasn’t forgotten that their dads sacrifice meant something and that their are good people everywhere.”

“If I could give the team 100 stars I would. The entire experience was without question truly wonderful. I won't spoil it at all for anyone and would just say go and experience it for yourself; you won't regret it! Tell Kurt that G sent you and leave your phone in your pocket because you can't take pics and that was a great part of the experience as well.”
“My first character dinner was here today. Food was okay, but I especially liked the beef stew. The characters came around to my table at least twice each. The most interactive one today was Pluto. Mickey and Minnie being the most popular took a little longer to visit. It wasn’t till the end that a cast member offered to take my picture with my son for a character. That’s my only negative. So I only have a picture with goofy, my son and myself. The rest were single shots taken by myself or my son. The experience was worth it just to see my sons face lit up like a jack o lantern the whole time!”

“This trip was my first time in the Avatar-themed space and the internet has long told me to get the drink at Pongu Pongu. I think it’s a cool drink, very colorful and vibrant. But I don’t think it’s something that I would go out of my way to get if I was in Animal Kingdom. If you’re in the area and want something refreshing and tart to drink, go for it.”
“Outdoor stop has outstanding Mac and Cheese with pulled pork. Topped with coleslaw and crunchies. It's fast service. But the best part is the quiet bagodas just across from EightSpoon and hidden behind the green buildings. Lots of seating. Covered patios to stay out of rain. Quiet peaceful. Calm.
Good food and a secret hideaway where children can take a nap.”
“Thanks to Chief Williere, our visit at the Disney Caribbean Resort was truly magical.
Due to specific dietary restrictions, our family had unique food needs. Chief Williere took the time to personally handle our requests and ensured we were provided with the most delicious meals during our visit. His kindness and commitment to exceptional customer service made a lasting impression on us.
We are truly grateful and wanted to share our appreciation for such outstanding hospitality.”
“Very good coffee and attention. Oriana and Daisy attended us, super cordial and helpful. Thank you for everything, excellent experience and we were satisfied with the desire to have a delicious coffee.”
“The Tune-In Lounge is a great spot to stop in for beer, wine, or a well-made cocktail. It is adjacent to the Prime Time Cafe and shares the same theming. The bartenders are friendly and attentive. There are no seats at the bar, but you can stand at the bar if there is room. Most people take their drinks to go, but others may sit in the retro living room area while they enjoy their beverage of choice. Be sure to check out the details in the decor while you are there.”
“Haven’t been but excited to try for dinner in April. I’m nervous though, do we have to dress up bc we’ll be in the park all day and weren’t going to go back to the hotel to change first.”
“Yes it is pricey but worth the splurge. I took 4 high school graduates and watched them turn into kids again! Food was absolutely amazing , visually and full of flavor. Would definitely recommend.”

“We had Steve and Carmano as our servers. Impeccable service throughout the whole dining experience. They went above and beyond our expectations. Also to mention Grace at the bar made us a Fifty States Vodka on the rocks with a splash of club and cranberry. It was delicious. And lastly, Andrea at the hostess desk did us a great job putting us with our great servers. We will be back soon.😎”
