    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!

Some appetizers we've tried and enjoyed include the ahi tuna crisps, crispy chicken wings, grilled shishito peppers and sticky pork ribs. They have all be delicious. Entrees my family has tried include the poke bowl, grilled fish of the day, wayfinder burger, garlic shrimp noodles, pineapple barbecue chicken sliders, and chow mein salad. No one has ever complained about their meal :) Quite the opposite. They have all raved over their choices. As for myself, I have ordered the wayfinder burger on all 3 visits to Wailulu Bar & Grill and I have no regrets. It's likely the best burger on Disney property. My suggestion is to go with the sweet potato fries rather than the macaroni salad. I did not care for the mac salad and it was quite different from what they actually serve in Hawaii. The sweet potato fries are delicious though!

As someone with a shellfish allergy, I really appreciated how seriously the staff took my allergy. They provided me with a separate allergy-friendly menu, answered all of my questions, and made me feel confident that my meal would be safe. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. Great food, outstanding service, and excellent allergy accommodations made this a true 5-star experience. I can't wait to come back!

    The Diamond Horseshoe sets a good tone for what eating at Disney should be more like. Getting a…read morereservation is difficult and we were lucky to get squeezed in as walk-ins around 5:30. 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.

    If you ever find yourself strolling through Magic Kingdom with a craving for comfort food that…read morefeels like Thanksgiving at Grandma's... let me point you straight to the duo of The Diamond Horseshoe and Liberty Tree Tavern. What many guests don't realize is that the Diamond Horseshoe isn't just a quick-service stop or a random overflow location--it's actually an extension of Liberty Tree Tavern, sharing the same kitchen and serving up the exact same all-you-care-to-enjoy feast. The difference? You're dining in a space that once hosted a full-on dinner show, complete with musical performances. Today, the stage still lives on with an automated piano, giving just a hint of that old-school Disney charm. Honestly, I would've loved to experience it in its heyday. Now let's talk about the real star of the show: the food. This is classic, hearty, family-style comfort food done right. Your meal kicks off with a fresh salad, and then comes the main event--a platter that feels like it was prepared for royalty. We're talking tender pot roast, juicy pork loin, creamy mashed potatoes, and rich, homemade mac and cheese. Everything is refillable, so come hungry. And just when you think you're done... enter the legendary ooey gooey toffee cake. Warm, sweet, and absolutely worth saving room for. It's the kind of dessert that makes you pause mid-bite and go, "yeah... this is why we came." What really makes this experience shine is the value. At around $45 for adults and $24 for kids, it's one of the better table-service deals in the park--especially for an all-you-care-to-enjoy meal that the whole family can get behind. Our son loved it, which always seals the deal. A little Disney history moment: back in the day, the Diamond Horseshoe featured a musical revue similar to Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue. That ran until 2003, when it transitioned into additional seating for Liberty Tree Tavern. The theming today is slightly different, but the menu and quality remain consistent. Pro tip (from a Cast Member): if you're eligible, that 40% discount for breakfast and dinner makes this an absolute steal. At the end of the day, this is one of those experiences that feels like home--just with a little extra Disney magic sprinkled on top. So pull up a chair, pass the mashed potatoes, and enjoy a family-style feast right in the heart of the most magical place on earth.

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.

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.

First, there is a time limit and a drink limit; the time limit I get is because of the size and the fact that there are nearly zero options in MK. The drink limit- come on, if it takes someone 45 minutes to drink two beers, they should be out in the park. We ordered as an appetizer the Island Provisions: Plantain Chips, Blue Corn Tortillas, and Toasted Flatbread served with Mango Chutney, Garlic Chimichurri, Spiced Guava, and Zesty Culantro Cream Dips. The chimichurri and culantro dips were decent as were the tortilla chips, but nothing else was good. We each ordered a couple of beers. And while we sat in some dark corner of the room with another family, which we later found out was some sort of "jail cell" (which it certainly felt like as we sat on concrete). It was evident that the inside of Beak and Barrel was as bleak as our future finding somewhere else to get a cold beverage to cool off. I wouldn't go back; the fact that we had to book a reservation 60 days out for this is embarrassing. The only reason I gave two stars is becasue of the fact that I had two beers in an otherwise dry park (a few sit-down dining options aside).
