I guess eating fish while looking at fish can be a bit awkward, but a LOT of you think Coral Reef not worth your time. There are plenty of other incredible restaurants in EPCOT Â that it’s hard to stand out!

Be Our Guest
Be Our Guest is relatively newer to the Magic Kingdom and quickly became one of the most sought after reservations in ALL of Disney World. It seems that over time, this popular restaurant has lost some of its touch because the majority of voters think Be Our Guest is overrated!
Beast in Be Our Guest
About 39% thought that the restaurant was actually underrated, but we might have to agree with the majority here!
Be Our Guest Results
Although the atmosphere is incredibly unique and it made history by being the first restaurant in Magic Kingdom to serve wine and beer, the price and hard-to-get reservations make it a deal-breaker for some.

I’ve eaten at Coral Reef a few times, and the food has always been fantastic. Last time, I got a steak that was tender enough to barely need a knife.
My only issue with BOG, is how they re-did dinner. The previous dinner experience was far better.
One that I feel is underrated is the Yachtsmen Steak House. This has the best porterhouse I have ever had!! The dessert my daughter had she loved as it allowed her to color it first and she loved the taste. Overrated was Chef’s DeFrance in the Showcase. I hated the food.
