The Plaza Restaurant, Magic Kingdom
Who: Linda (40-something) and Suzanne (10)
Where: Plaza Restaurant, Main Street USA in MK
When: Sunday, October 29, 2006, noon
What: Lunch. Two Angus beef burgers, one with potato salad and the
other with fries. Ordered Brownie Sundae for dessert.
Approximate Price of Entrees: Burgers were $10.95 each, Brownie
Sundae was $4.09, iced tea was $2.19.
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 4.5 (would be five except for brownie wasn't that great--
Ghiradelli has a better brownie sundae)
Service: 4.5
Atmosphere: 4
Okay for Children: Yes. This is a small restaurant (capacity if 94
people). One crying child will be heard throughout the entire
place.
Okay for Couples: Sure, why not.
Be Sure to Try: I love their German Potato Salad. Don't know how
they make it, but its wonderful. The burgers were awesome. Suzanne
had hers just with cheese, but mine included mushrooms and onions
and cheese. This is probably the best burger I have had at Disney
and it was not greasy.
General tips: This is a very small restaurant and it often sells out
well in advance. Do NOT use the dining plan here--there is nothing
on the menu to make it a good value. THis is a nice place to get
out of the parks for a short rest.
TheMouseForLess tips: portions are generous but not huge.
Extra Comments: make an ADR, or walk up first thing in the morning
if you think you want a table. It will sell out.

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 4
Service: 3.5
Atmosphere: 2Ñthere were flies everywhere!
Okay for Children: Yes. But make sure you know there is going to be a wait. We asked to have DD lunch brought right away while ours was cooking, but it didn't happen.
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: The burgers were goodÉnot terrific.
TheMouseForLess tips: I can't say enough about the Dining Plan. We are
a family that prefers sitting to eat, rather then eating on the
run.
Extra Comments: This was just about our only spontaneous meal. We
were surprised that the place was not packed.

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 5
Atmosphere: 4
Okay for Children: Yes
Okay for Couples: Yes
Be Sure to Try: The burgers!! You can get them any way you want with
whatever you want on them!! The ice cream!!
General tips: This place is usually not too busy. Don't think many
people know it's there. So you can walk in w/o a problem.
TheMouseForLess tips: The burgers are huge so your kids can split them!! The prices are good for a full service.
Extra Comments: While it doesn't have a fancy menu the food is very good.
It's smallish inside but the tables aren't squished together. The burgers are great. Better than counter service. The fries and onion rings were crispy. The service was very good and very friendly.The ice cream was great too!!
Who: John and Jackie
Where: Plaza Restaurant at MK
When: 9/14/02
What: Lunch (Philly Chessesteak for John and Turkey Sandwich for me,
plus two sundaes)
Approximate Price of Entrees: Around $8-$9 per sandwich, about $4-$5
per sundae
Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)
Food: 5
Service: 5
Atmosphere: 5
Okay for Children: Yes (staff was quite good with a "picky" eater
seated near us)
Okay for Couples: Yes! (Just like an old-fashioned first-date place.
We loved the Victorian feel of the main dining area and the glass
conservatory).
Be Sure to Try: Turkey Sandwich a great fast food alternative-- served
on delicious multigrain bread; Brownie Sundae (but not if you order a
meal as I laughingly learned!). It's HUGE with three brownies, lots of
hot fudge and vanilla ice cream.
General tips: While this place is a bit hidden (right around from the
Ice Cream Parlor), you may want to make PS around lunch time. We did
and only had a 5 minute wait at noon, while walk-in's had a 30 minute
wait.
Dollarless tips: We went again and learned to share a sandwich and
> sundae, as portions are very large. Grand total second time was only
$16.
Extra Comments: We found this to be a great place to get out of the
September heat and cool down midday. Plus, it was great to people-watch
from the conservatory windows :-) If you don't want lunch, it's fun to
stop in just for a sundae.
