- BWBrian Watson5 days ago1.0Had a 6:00 reservation. Sat down at 6:30. The place was empty. We sat for thirty minutes and got one visit from the waitress. It took 30 minutes to get a water. After another 30 minutes we were served cold food. We ordered drinks. We got our drinks 5 minutes after our food arrived. We sat there for an hour and a half. Horrible service, horrible food. By far the worst service I’ve ever experienced at Disney world.
- CKCaitlyn KillianNov 15, 20253.0My main course was meh but THAT BUTTER that comes with the cornbread. Simply chef’s kiss. Perfect temperature, perfect consistency, so spreadable and delicious. I will dream about that butter tonight 🧈
- STSteve TunnellNov 11, 20255.0I was impressed with the quality of the food! Reviews seemed pretty mixed but it was a pleasant surprise to find that the all you can eat platter was solid. The sausage was a bit bland, but everything else from the green beans to the brisket hit the spot. I wish there were more sauce options to go with it, but I must give credit to our server and the kitchen for trying to come up with a spicy BBQ sauce on the fly when I was totally cool with what I already had. Nicola was really great and made the birthday meal a 10/10 experience! This was a total contrast to the cafeteria just down the hall, which was horrible. But I definitely recommend Boatwrights!
- CGChristine Gosselin-HamiltonNov 11, 20254.0We go to this restaurant every visit to Disney World. I do love their jambalaya and my husband loves their chicken. I was disappointed that they skewer the shrimp now. Nobody wants to have to take their shrimp off a skewer, take the shells off and toss in the jambalaya. So much easier and tastier when all the ingredients are mixed together. I always go for my fix for jambalaya but I'm not sure I'll do that next time or go at all since the jambalaya is my go to. No need to make it fancy. Our server was new with her trainer close by. They were both wonderful !!! Atmosphere is cozy depending on where you sit. The AC was too high. Was cold
- MLMandy LorianOct 24, 20255.0This is our second experience at this restaurant and it's still as excellent as ever. This is what the Disney experience is all about. This will always be our go to for Disney dining! Keep in mind, reservations are strongly suggested.
