Here is my top 10 table service restaurants in Disney World. It is a variety of things including shows, character meals, and fun places to eat. They are all different, so if you went down for a week or more you may want to try them all. Since they are all so different I can’t really say they are ranked in any particular order.
Top 10 Table Service Restaurants
1. Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue at Fort Wilderness – An awesome dinner show that is family friendly, fun, and tasty. We share more details at Best Dinner Shows.
2. ‘Ohana at the Polynesian – I love the food here as well as the atmosphere. Breakfast is a character meal and dinner is not. Both meals are a set price and are an all you care to eat meal served family style on the table. If you time it right you might see some fireworks during or after your meal.
3. Whispering Canyon Cafe at Wilderness Lodge – This did not make the list just because Wilderness Lodge is my favorite resort. The restaurant is full of humor and fun, just order a large drink, ask for extra napkins, straws, or ketchup and you’ll find out. The food is awesome and they have offerings all day. You can order something a la care or one of the all-you-care-to eat-skillets.
4. Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge – This is a huge buffet with so many interesting things to try. You must try them all. At the kids table there are more American kid friendly favorites so there is something for everyone (both the big and little kids).
5. 1900 Park Fare at the Grand Floridian – This beautiful restaurant has a great breakfast and dinner option. The Wish Makers Enchanted Dining includes characters such as Aladdin, Cinderella, Mirabel, and/or Tiana. Both meals are wonderful and you are just a monorail away from Magic Kingdom so it can be a great way to start or end the day.
6. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at Hollywood Studios – If you love a drive-in then you will have a blast here. This is an a carte option and is casual but a fun place to eat none the less. It will feel like you are eating outside at night and watching a repeating circuit of sci-fi clips. If you have little children they may not like the dark or the clips but older kids would have fun.
7. Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary Resort – This is a fun and festive buffet where your kids can meet Mickey and friends. We love to go here the first night of our trip since you don’t need park tickets to go. What a great way to kick of your trip!
8. Teppan Edo in Epcot (Japan) – This restaurant is fun for everyone when they cook on the table. The children are entertained and the food is good. My husband can get his sushi fix too while we are here.
9. Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen at Magic Kingdom – This restaurant is all the fun and humor of the Jungle Cruise in a restaurant. The concept is that location is where the skippers hang out. Although it has a long name, we usually call it the Skipper’s Canteen. Intersting food and I love the sangria of the day!
10.Crystal Palace at the Magic Kingdom – This is a fun meal with Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet. This buffet is a great place to enjoy an all-American meal. I love their salad bar as well as the great kids selections. My kids love the parade where they get their own flag and join in the fun. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner so a great way to start the day.
We eat at most of these places every trip if we can and they never get old. That is why they are on our top 10 table service restaurants. They all take the dining plans at this time.
