Buffets

fearless1123 · 01-22-2007

DD (who will be doing the College Program) likes buffets, but Cape May was a disappointment when we ate there several years ago. Has there been any improvement to the Clambake?

And- where are the other buffets in WDW NOT in the parks?

Thanks!

We love Boma at AKL. Its an adventure! We love trying all the different things we would never have ordered if it wasn't a buffet. Its a great place to try new things...the food is fantastic!

Try Boma at the AKL. It's a nice little buffet. The food while slightly ethnic, is very good and there are many things to choose from for picky eaters if you have any with you. Of course there is also 1900 park fare at the GF, chef mickey's

at the contemporary and I am sure there are more, but they are escaping me. I know both whispering canyon and o'hanna are a family style meal which isn't a buffet, but it's close. Have you ever tried ohanna? it's wonderful as long as you get a good server. The food is great regardless of service however, so it's at least worth the price.

We have never eaten at O'Hana's BUT we will be soon! Because of everyone at MouseBuzz raving about it I made reservations!

I always seek and trust the advice here. This is a great group and I always tell people about it when they ask for advice about WDW.

Awww! How nice!

You won't go wrong with Ohanas. That is one of our favs! Lets us know what you think when you get back!

**Dopey** · 01-22-2007

We had dinner at the Cape May Cafe a couple of years ago and it was fantastic.
I cannot stand it when shellfish is overcooked and that was definitely not the case there. We enjoyed it.
I have not tried any other buffets other than Crystal Palace, but you said you didn't want to know about park buffets

softychik · 01-22-2007

Boma and Ohanas

Batgirl · 01-22-2007

Dr. Teeth and our family have eaten at Cape May, Crystal Palace, and Chef Mickey's in the past year and Cape May was our favorite (with Crystal Palace a close second; we were not thrilled with Chef Mickey). Really nice seafood at Cape May (I agree with the post stating that the food is not overcooked -- so true!) and stuff for the non-seafood folks as well. And it simply is not as chaotic as Chef Mickeys.

That being said, I have heard nothing but very, very good things about Ohanas and Boma, so you can't go wrong!

timsha · 01-22-2007

We ate at Cape May the other night, and it was good. No issues. we also just got back from Ohana (last night

) and it was very good.

millermouse · 01-22-2007

I always think Ohana's and Chef Mickey's are a must!!

Ohana's Ohana's Ohana's.....did I mention Ohana's

Monique · 01-22-2007

We absolutely love

Chef Mickey's. It has great atmosphere and it's the best place to either start or end your vacation. 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian is also delicious. One other place you might consider is Mickey's Backyard BBQ. It's a dinner show but the food is very good (burgers, chicken, hotdogs, corn, beans, slaw, macaroni & cheese, rolls, fruit, cake, lemonade, beer, wine). Although it's a bit more expensive, you're also getting dinner and a show and tax and gratuity is already included.

You are not going to regret that. My last trip there wasn't the greatest due to a not so good server, but the food was great. The bread pudding was OMGoodness good....save room for that. I didn't and could only get a taste down, but OH WHAT A TASTE it was.... I will be sure to make more room for that this trip..lol

Soundgod · 01-23-2007

The true buffets are 1900's Park Fare at GF, of course Chef Mickey's, Cape May Cafe, Boma at AKL, Mickey's Backyard BBQ at Fort Wilderness, and Fresh in the Dolphin outside parks, while Crystal Palace in MK, Hollywood and Vine in MGM, and Donald's Breakfastosaurus at AK. Ohana, Garden Grill, and Akershus are all you can eat, but served family style. Whispering Canyon has all you can eat skillets, again served family style. If you're at WDW on Christmas morning and New Year's morning, the Yacht Club Galley has a brunch buffet with special items (prime rib and clam chowder).

dac921 · 01-23-2007

Of all the places that we have eaten the only one I was not happy with was Hollywood and Vine. I really did not enjoy the food there.

john+colwdwlvrs · 01-23-2007

Ohana is my fav like the breakfast buffet at Crystal Palace very much too
