food IS a theme park
There are over 200 restaurants in Disney World, but only a select few tend to get all the glory like Be Our Guest Restaurant or Cinderella’s Royal Table.

But, there are quite a few under-the-radar restaurants that aren’t talked about much but are still worth checking out! Some are our favorite spots in all of Disney World! Don’t be the Disney guest that just passes by these restaurants — here’s why we think you should make time for them!
Disney World has LOTS of amazing eats.
Delicious fried goodness, if you ask us.
And there are plenty of places to try, no matter what your palette! From sweet treats to savory goodness to upscale dining, it seems like Disney World has it ALL. But what if you’re a picky eater?! Well, it turns out Disney’s got some options for you, too! Here are some of our favorites.
Here at DFB, we believe that one of the most important aspects of a great Disney World vacation is the food!
Good food makes a good vacation!
If you’re headed to the parks and resorts, there are some really delicious options for meals…and some not-so-delicious ones. That’s why we’re constantly visiting Disney restaurants — to give you our honest reviews! And if you’re visiting EPCOT soon, then there are some DFB reviews we think you should read first.
You can probably guess based on our name, but here at DFB, we’re all about Disney food!
Let’s talk about FOOD.
Over the years we’ve spent talking about Disney food, we’ve heard a lot of crazy things: some that were true, but quite a few that aren’t. People make all kinds of assumptions about the food at Walt Disney World, and we’re here to set the record straight. Today, we’re debunking some absolute lies about Disney World restaurants!
There are a lot of different types of food to choose from at Disney World, but choosing what your tastebuds are in the mood for is only half the battle!

That’s because while many foods at Disney World are delicious, they’re not all created equal!
Happy Monday, y’all! While we hope you had a relaxing weekend, it’s time to get down to some official Disney Food Blog business!

That’s right! As you may recall, we’ve still got some scores to settle in our Table Service Throw Down! In fact, we’re already down to our final eight Disney World restaurants!
Could it BE?! We’ve just finished counting the votes from part one of last night’s polling and we know which FOUR restaurants will be advancing to the semi-finals!

It’s time to talk turkey!
A reader comment recently prompted me to put out the feelers for the best spots to celebrate Thanksgiving in Disney World. Not surprisingly, Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Tree Tavern was suggested by most folks who responded.
Liberty Tree Tavern, in the Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, is set up to resemble a fine patriot’s home in the 18th century.
With dark woods, vintage paintings, and even a coat and tri-cornered hat hanging by the door, you’ll feel right at home!
Now that setting might be enough to spur people to suggest Liberty Tree Tavern for Thanksgiving dinner — the atmosphere is certainly ideal for celebrating that holiday.

But, the better reason to recommend it is that Liberty Tree Tavern essentially serves Thanksgiving Dinner every night! With all-you-can-eat platters of turkey, brisket, pork, mashed potatoes, stuffing, veggies, and macaroni and cheese served family style, you certainly can’t go wrong here.

And although the Thanksgiving-specific offerings change each year at Disney World, here’s a photo of one reader’s Liberty Tree Tavern Thanksgiving meal:

You can book now for Thanksgiving evening, but I haven’t yet seen any specifics of the Thanksgiving offerings at Disney World come over the airwaves. Most table-service restaurants do offer some sort of special Thanksgiving meal.
Other Suggestions
While Liberty Tree Tavern was the most-suggested restaurant, the two runners-up were Artist Point, at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort, and Germany’s Biergarten, at Epcot’s World Showcase.
Other restaurants that were mentioned include: California Grill, Crystal Palace, ‘Ohana, Le Cellier, Jiko, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Garden Grill, ESPN Zone (for the Game!), and Akershus.
