Restaurantosaurus — Restaurant in Bay Lake

I realize we were at Disney and everything is expensive but I do expect a better experience throughout the parks. The service here is slow but at least the cast members are friendly. It took an extremely long time just to place our order and because we had an allergen warning for one person it took three times as long to receive our order. Once we received our food it was basically lukewarm but did taste good. I ordered the footlong chili cheese dog with onions and pickles which they put on the side. What I didn't realize was that this was a jumbo hot dog that is clearly just over a footlong. This was way too big for me but I also don't like to waste and I knew we'd be going around the park. While we were waiting for our order I saw 15 or 20 of these go out and mine had a lot more cheese than any other one I saw. I double checked before I ordered it that it was an all beef hot dog. I have to say that it was really good but it did have too much cheese. Conveniently I was able to use the french fries to dip in the chili and cheese to help make it a little easier going down. As the french fries were almost cold it also helped with the flavor. We of course dined inside and it was extremely busy and difficult to get around to a table with a wheelchair. We did...

You will find this place in dino land. First thing first, don't get caught standing in the wrong line. Depending on where you enter, there is a line in the back for the bar inside the restaurant. Doesn't serve food and can get backed up. Tood there in that line for 17 minutes until we asked about the food and was instructed by a staff member this was not the line. Got drinks anyway there, then proceeded to the food section. I mean why not? Food selection was what you would call lunch food for a day in the backyard. My group had the burger, the chicken tenders, and hot dog. All came with a side, we chose fries. Food was hot so be careful. Burgers come to order, and tenders are as you expect them to be. If your little ones like hot dogs you can save on two by buying one and cutting it in half, it is that big. You can get it plain, with chili, and with cheese. You have to wait up front and they will bring you your order on a tray. If any mix up with the order, tell them immediately and they will correct it, no extra charge. You fix your own drink at the soda fountain. The draw back is the seating. It is limited inside and out. You have to secure a spot while waiting, a job for those not paying after the order. Overall great place to take a break and...

So I've been to this place a couple of times now. It's a typical Disney counter service restaurant, and it serves three star burgers. I'm happy that it lets me upgrade the bacon cheeseburger into a double, because Animal Kingdom is so much walking that it leaves me ravenously hungry.

This place is different in two ways, however, and those ways are why I give it four stars. First, it has a soda fountain in it, which not all Disney counter services eateries do. It's much appreciated for those of us who need a little bit more caffeine to keep us going. Second, along with your burger purchase, or whatever you buy, you get access to an unlimited topping bar so you can make whatever kind of burger you want.

Toppings available to you include all the typical veggies, sauteed mushrooms, chili, a few different cheeses, and something that you do not see very often, guacamole. That's a premium item at most places, but this place has it readily available for you to scoop up as much as you want!

Overall, like I said, the baseline food is three stars worth, but the little things that make this place different bump it up to a four star place for me and put this place on the map for me in my mind among the sea of other, more forgettable Disney counter services...
