  Food is mediocre at best. Not worth the price. I order the "all you care to enjoy" taste of the bayou not once was I asked or brought more food. My son had the pasta, meatballs and "fresh fruit" from the kids menu. The sauce was a watery mess with no flavor I mentioned it to the waitress and her answered was "well he ate some" well of course he did he tried it. The fruit was so old look like mold on it when I pointed that out they removed the charge for the kids meal. We ended up sharing my 1 plate. The only thing we both enjoyed was the BBQ shrimp appetizer.

  Haven't been to Boatwrights since there was a Dixie Landings. Back then we would get the Prime Rib which was some of the best on property. It is still on the menu but we decided to go outside of our comfort zone this time We are staying nearby in Ft Wilderness and was looking for a good sit down meal close by. Glad we came. Food was great. Service was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. There were three of us and we had a wide variety from Jambalaya with scewered shrimp which were perfect to Salmon which was cooked to perfection and the Chicken which was a huge breast breaded and sides of mac and cheese and mashed. Highly recommend.

  I was super convinced due to reviews, however, two of the plates of food were cold and ny family was treated sub par aftet me and my husband left the table, not what I expected after having bought two vacation packages with a minimum spent of 12k and 300 in tips alone at 2 restraints. If I had known that we were going to be treated the way we were over dining credits, I never would have included them. Disney knows better in terms of quality and expectations of consumers. Please please be aware of this restaurant and at least make them accountable to treat you well!

  My 2nd visit to Boatwright's after 12 years. I was impressed with the staff at the hostess desk who were able to accommodate me even though I arrived 2 hours prior to my reservation time. I was a solo diner and felt the server was rushing me throughout the meal. A bit off putting. The food was okay. I had the All You Can Eat platter. Just okay. The food was warm, not hot with very minimal seasoning. The cornbread was good as were the ribs. The macaroni and cheese really tried but didn't quite make it. Overall 3 1/2 stars. I'm from the west coast so I doubt I'll be back. I believe the food was much better on my first visit so I know Boatwright's is capable of doing better.

  The servers my husband, son, and I had were phenomenal. We came in from Rhode Island to celebrate our sons 6th bday. Joseph from Florida was our server. He was kind, funny, attentive, and went above and beyond for us. He gave my son a card signed by everyone and some goodies! Karen from Buffalo, NY was also absolutely amazing. We had great conversations with them, lots of laughs! They really set the tone for our vacation and I have to say…we had a 4 day stay…nobody else measured up. I submitted a compliment on the Disney app but people need to know how great they were. We literally kept talking about our dinner here. Remember, a restaurant is just a business in a building ran by people who may not even deal with the public. It’s the “cast members” who carry the weight, grinding daily with long hours and a smile. But they didn’t just smile. They were warm with good energy. They felt like friends. We almost came back for our last night because of Joseph (is there an e at the end of his name? I think so.) and Karen. Mind you, it wasn’t just us. I watched the way he interacted with the other tables as well. And I’ve worked in the service industry..he didn’t just put on face for tips. His demeanor came from his heart. It’s obvious he’s a good person. I hope someone “important” sees this and doesn’t just brush it off as another good review. I hope they’re recognized in a manner that truly impacts them positively. Even the hostess was sweet. You guys have a good team! Honestly, I can’t wait to come back. I hope they’re well taken care of. ***Also, we came here because I’m a Texan who has lived in Rhode Island for 9 years and has been homesick and needing southern food I didn't cook. The platter was AMAZING. Meat fell off the ribs, brisket was perfection..everything was so dang delicious. And the corn bread?! Heaven. 10/10.
