boatwright's dining hall

the staff, atmosphere and food were wonderful!! i tried catfish for the first time and loved it!! it has a very rustic feel to it. i loved that, too.

very nice restaurant with a great staff. very unique food southern/cajun. atmosphere was family style and also very clean. we will return on our next trip

so this place was really good. i do wish the fritters had been hotter because i think they would have been even better. i definitely can't complain about the portions. my eyes have been bigger than my stomach, as is usual. too much syrup on the pb mousse.....it didn't need all that.

decent fare at boatwright's if you want something filling after a day in the parks. some of the combinations on the menu sound deliciously weird to a foreigner, such and steak with mac and cheese, chicken with waffles, and pork and cornbread, but go surprisingly well together. the staff are very friendly and the walk-in wait time wasn't too long for a saturday night (about an hour). would be nice if the restaurant had its own restrooms so guests wouldn't have to walk to either the adjoining bar or the food court to use the toilet.

4 adults and 1 child for dinner. the prime rib was very good as was the crawfish étouffée. kids can get the alacart with the healthier entrees and still get the build your own sundae. daughter had the turkey and liked it. we would definitely eat here again!

typical of most disney dining over priced and disappointing. try going off disney, you will find better food at fair prices.

great food. one of the best at disney hotel dining. forget the others try this one first

best unknown on disney property. me and my wife really enjoyed this place. i got the jumbalaya, she had a shrimp and pasta fish (forgot the exact name). portions were good size, very flavorful, and unique. plus prices were well worth it considering we were on disney property.
it doesnt have the "look" you would expect of a disneyworld establishment, but i was going to eat, not to be entertained.
desert we had a slice of chocolate cake and creme brulee (hope i spelled that right). both were just right.
service was adequate, cant saying anything good or bad.
i will return one day for sure.

this is some bad cajun cooking! the best part is the cornbread at the beginning of the meal, after that it's downhill. popeyes does way better then these guys at cajun at a third the price. you pay for convenience and that's it. bad food period.

gross. i'm shocked that people actually like this place? all 6 of us were pretty dissapointed .... definitely nothing like the food they serve in new orleans.

disney nawlins style. this is the restaurant in the port orleans riverside. it's themed (but not new orleans style) although i'm not really sure what the theme was supposed to be. we had a 6pm reservation and when we arrived the hostess seemed flustered over some tech problem, so she didn't greet us with that disney charm. we had to wait about 20 minutes for our table even though the restaurant was half empty (or half full, depending on how you look at it). started with a sangria which was good, i think it was $8.25 for a glass. dh got a soup with crab and corn in it and i tasted it and it was very good. i got a prime rib for dinner, it was somewhat fatty but very tasty with a cabernet sauce over it. it was served with three-.cheese hash brown potatoes and they were very good. normally this is the part where i would complain about the price, it was $26.00. for the size of it it was not worth the price but i suppose if your on vacation and your in
disney you try not to get to worked up over all the incidentals. otherwise we wouldn't have a magical day. dessert was ok, i had bananas foster with angel food cake, bananas were a little brown and the flavor was a little off. also at the table was a lemon pound cake with berries, but they were very stingy with the berries and the cake was not that good and slightly stale. if i were staying at port orleans again i would go back but i wouldn't make a special trip to go to it. next time i would also try some of the more traditional new orleans dishes.

love the food here! the greens are amazing and i've never had a bad main course. i agree, there isn't much atmosphere, but the food makes up for it.

excellent crawfish cakes and jumbalaya. atmosphere in the reastaraunt is non existent but the resort is gorgeous. take a horse drawn carraige ride after your meal.
