Because chef Mickey doesn't require a park ticket

*eyes twitch as Q disses four of my favorite restaurants *

My hot take: rainforest cafe at animal kingdom was one of the best meals I had when I was in Disney world 🫢

crystal palace > chef mickey

Your take on Be Our Guest is spot on.

Chef Mickey's is one of my favorite in all of Disney World. Yes, it is loud because it caters to families with small children. But, you know that going in so it's not a surprise, and I love to see the little ones having such a good time. Yes, the food is so-so. But it's exactly the kind of food I like the best. Homey and tasty and simple. That's why the kids like it so much. And they have characters. Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto wear chef outfits and are happy to pose with all the rowdy customers. I LOVE it there!

BOG went downhill when they switched to the pre-fixe menu. The old breakfast and lunch options were great.

I work at T-Rex Cafe and you are the type of guest we don't want.

My wife and I will be eating at Be Our Guest because it’s Be Our friggin Guest!

I always thought Be Our Guest had some of the best food in Disney world!

You order a filet mignon WELL DONE???

Does everyone else have a Benihana down the street?

Mama melrose is in Hollywood studios by the mupet theater and has amazing ✨ Italian food for a reasonable price!

I miss when Be Our Guest had affordable lunch!

I always get the “Beastly Burger” at Rainforest and it’s the most delicious and absolutely amazing tasting burger I’ve ever had…and it’s fun. Even for a 67 year old kid!

There is an actual Benihana at the Hilton across from Disney Springs.

I actually love Chef Mickey's! I am a big kid at heart, So the noise doesn't bother me. The food is simple. Sometimes, you just want homey food when you are on vacation.

imo Be Our Guest is great if you get the fish but the other stuff wasn't nearly as good

Rainforest Cafe fish and chips is the greatest. We always eat at the bar and the drinks are wonderful.

I do have to say the breakfast at Animal Kingdoms Rainforest cafe is so good. The other meals are meah but breakfast is so yum.

Teppan edo was great for us because coming from the UK West country we don't have anything like benihanas nearby. Not a must do every time but it's always nice to try something new.

Totally agree about Be Our Guest.

I went to be our guest once I thought it was really good. I even tried the gray stuff and it was delicious. Chef Mickey’s was really good too. Pizza Rizzo’s I thought it was OK kind of meh

I don’t do quick service park food…. Horrible cafeteria food….

Tony’s should have been on this list. It’s an absolute waste of prime real estate

Actually just ate at T Rex two days ago, the food was amazing, service was incredible, easily the best food I've had during my Disney Vacation.

Be our guest has top tier meats and soups, coming from someone who eats a lot of upscale food. They have amazing chefs.

This whole video is a CRIME.

I agree chefs mickeys food is subpar, but i went for my baby and she had fun so it's a cost benefit analysis. Also helpful that it's not in a park. Im definitely not running back though.

I agree all those places that ive been to.

I mostly agree with this list. The only exception I'd make is for T-Rex and/or Rainforest if you have kids that enjoy it and you're able to use the birthday month gift card you earn in their free rewards club. You can also get discount gift cards through Sam's Club several times a year that can make it a better value.

The one I’d want to eat at that I know that I’ll probably never get to eat at is Club 33.

Dissing T-Rex Cafe? You’re dead to me! 😂

The hate shown towards T Rex always baffles me. I guess that's what happens when no one has children

Blue bayou never fails. The best food in the whole park! ❤

😊 honestly I could agree with this but one of my best memories is the Sci-Fi drive in as a kid... I'm not even sure it's still exists anymore but it was my favorite memory with my parents! I had seen it I had heard about it I definitely wanted to go there they were 100% against it and I lucked out and they let me go once and it's still my favorite... So I guess my tip is if it's one of your kids special interests even if it's not highly rated consider whether or not it might be worth it!

I love starlight cafe

I was very impressed with the different foods that Disney served us while visiting for my husband’s manager conference. For breakfast and lunch we had the banquet buffet spread and each day was a different theme. Each night for dinner they took us to different kingdoms and put on a show. Dessert and cocktails were serve while we were visiting the parks. Of course dessert were innovative treats that they didn’t normally serve around the park. I’m hoping in 2026 that my husband will get invited again. You can’t beat a free stay at the yacht club and free entrance to Disney as a private guest. If you work at a global corporation that could afford a trip like this I highly recommend it.

I agree with this assessment.

I agree with chef Mickey. Toppolinos terrace is much better food and the price isn’t much more expensive

Me: makes a list of 5 restaurants I wouldn’t eat at All Ears: makes a video on that exact list

I haven’t eaten at any of these and haven’t even been tempted. Guess I have good taste 😂

I’m going to rainforest Cafe when I go to animal kingdom in September cause we’re taking friends with us but I am terrified to eat here.

Our taste buds and our wallets prefer the food at Universal Studios.

Same. Did Chef Mickey's, lived my childhood dream, I'm good.

Sci fi dine in is a one and done for me. We went back a second time and the food was eh. Once you’ve experienced the atmosphere once, that’s really enough.

ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios because i got food poisoning from the food there

All the park restaurants are pretty bad with ever more limiting choices.

I'd never eat again at: Diamond Horseshoe (needed to use a dining credit) dinner took FOREVER & was very bland; Turf Club Steak House-same reasons as video; El Mercado food court at Coronado Springs-very slow & mediocre food; Homecoming at Disney Springs-flies in the dining room were very bad.

When Rainforest and T-Rex were mentioned that made me sad lol

None of the food I had in Disney was anything to write home about. It's theme park food, I wouldn't expect it to be particularly good 😅

I like rain Forrest and chef Mickey's

Teppan edo was the best meal I had all week at disney

My brother loves Chef Mickey's but my social anxiety could never. I always got up and walked to the buffet just to avoid the disney mascots who were going to approach my table next

I agree about Chef Mickey’s and I advise people not to eat the grey stuff at Beauty and The Beast because it tastes horrible. But the other restaurants are ok. Not great, but ok.

RAINFOREST CAFE IS SO GOOD

Teppan Edo was unreal

Used to love the Yachtsman Steakhouse it was my fav but last time was so bad I will never go back, server was rude and spoke down to us, I ordered the filet mignon and what arrived was not a filet mignon (server wasn't really interested in helping) and they tried to rush us through our meal even though ordered 3 courses and a bottle of wine

Hot take, but unless it’s just to give the youngest the experience that the other two had, and only if he asks for it, Cinderella’s Royal Table. We felt so rushed, the food was subpar, and the price tag just didn’t live up to the hype.

I like Chef Mickey's. With regard to noise levels, I've never experienced anything overly loud. The characters are the big draw for me, though.

Me, a full grown adult who’s never been to Disney and has no plans to: 🤔🧐 “I’ll be sure to avoid those”

I personally haven't been to be our guest since the quick service options left the sit down dinner doesn't pull me but I can see it if you have children and need to sit for a break while in the greatly theme restaurant but for a great theme sit down meal with better food options skippers canteen beats be our guest for me.

I will be eating at all of them. I can’t afford to get there or get through the gate.

My kid hated Rainforest cafe too so we’ll definitely never go back

Coral Reef was a disappointment. Most of the seating isn’t great (kind of the whole point of going there), the service was poor and slow, and the food was just ok and pricey.

I’ll never eat at any of them, unless someone gets Disney tickets for me or something. Even then, after the disability rule changes I’m not even sure if I would even want to go to Disney even if someone paid for tickets.

Is my allergies only food I can get a rainforest is that sparkling brownie sundae

The Teppan Edo argument is one I've heard before, but there is no teppanyaki place anywhere within several hours driving distance from where I live. It's an experience I can't have at home!

Tony’s Town Square

Not teppan edo!! 😭

I agree

Sad because when Rainforest first opened they were awesome! I think they expanded too much and stopped caring or something 😢

Only one I don't agree with is Teppan Edo. I know it's not unique, but I still love tepanyaki grills. The Disney flourishes here are nice.

as an English person Ohana for breakfast because it's way too sweet

LeCellier steakhouse in Canada at Epcot. Way overpriced for a small portion of food.

Okay why does everyone like Garden Grill?? I thought it was literally disgusting and I’m not a picky eater whatsoever. But the food was legit nasty. Out of 4 of us, we barely ate any of it and spent $260!

Probably would never go to Cinderella's Royal Table again. You're paying for less than a minute with all four of the princesses, and the food is subpar.

Try the gray stuff it’s delicious is it actually delicious tell me please

Proud to say never eaten in any of these places 😊

To be honest I like teppen edo or however u spell it the service I got was really good and the food was good

Here is (not a restaurants) but some kind of food stalls I would never eat at. There these pretzel stands at tomorrow land and fantasy land, it’s a small world. I would never eat at them again because they made vomit and be dissy and there pretzels are too hard for me. I would rather eat at wetzels pretzels at the great California outdoor mall.

Disneyland has better food. PERIOD.

You lost me at rainforest cafe

I have to say I find the food offerings at Walt Disney FL wonderful, there’s something for everyone, even vegans. And some very fresh, healthy, gourmet options which I like once a day or so. Better food than Universal certainly. However when I visited Disney Paris I was surprised how bad the food was! I was expecting better than US, fresher, healthier, etc but it was like they took the worst SAD food and put it in a loud cafeteria with little to no style or finesse. Felt like McDonalds. I did only eat at two restaurants so it’s not a comprehensive review of all the Paris options ..

Yak and yeti was horrible when I went

Not going back to the Creperie in Epcot. How does it take 2 hours to make a crepe and then how in the world do you mess up a crepe so it’s not even good? How?

Be our Guest

The bathroom at T-Rex was disgusting. And if they aren't keeping the bathroom clean then the kitchen probably isn't clean either. I agree - skip it

Mamma Melrose.

Homecoming! For the amount people hyped this place up I was shocked. Dry flavorless chicken 😢 spicy but not flavored gravy, dry flavorless donuts 😢

Cindy's was fine and I'm glad I went there once, but I have no desire to go back. Just not good enough for the price

Hot take but me and my mom will never eat skipper canteen again. The food we got was so oily and fatty. Not what we were expecting because of the high praise’s it gets. Definitely a skip for us

Cinderella’s Royal Table. Been there twice, 3 times if you count King Stefan’s. My wife had never been so I looked $84 for adults? Our family if 5 cannot afford to put over $350 for a meal that is mostly atmosphere and not the food. I notice that reservations are easy to get (ie not gone right at 60 days out) so maybe they reached the point people won’t oay

Blaze Pizza

Via Napoli… the tortellini was way too expensive for the portion size and it was meh.

Hot take: I am NOT a fan of Columbia Harbor House. I know the All Ears team loves it, but it’s just not my vibe, and the food options are meh.

Sci fi... eating in the dark not ideal. Was there something in that bite of food that was supposed to be crunchy? I don't know because couldn't see it

Flying fish, crab had turned worst bite ever.🤢

Chef Mickey’s at Thanksgiving is not the best. I had the worst experience ever

None of them, i'm too poor to even step foot in disney 😅
