If you let it go long enough you will find every restaurant on property in every category
There isn't 1 place that is loved by all and isn't 1 hated by all.

Too true. Also I think people might be missing the spirit of the exercise, not sure that Be Our Guest really is all that hidden

Hidden gem - Be Our Guest (for the free drink refills in the park, on a hot day it's a QS blessing)

We've done BOG for breakfast & lunch and haven't heard of the free drink refills in the park. Could you tell me more about that?

Hidden Gem: Boma - breakfast, loved it and not many people go over there
can't miss - Whispering Canyon café - great atmosphere and loved the food
don't waste= Akershus, breakfast - outside of characters it's not good

 

[tyniknate]

Hidden Gem: Boma, Sanaa
Can't Miss: Wolfgang Puck, Tusker House (I generally hate buffets, but this is one my family refuses to miss, so I book it at park opening each trip. The food is always a big hit.)
Don't Waste Your Time: Where do I begin? Casey's Corner, Chef Mickey's, Sci-Fi, BOG, Le Cellier, Liberty Tree Tavern, just about any buffet.......

[fifthdimensiondweller]

Hidden Gem: Shutters at CBR
Must do- Kona Cafe for Tonga Toast!
Don't Waste your time- erm. I've honestly never been to a place at WDW or DLR that I wouldn't go back to. If you count quick service I wasn't wild about the counter service at Coronado Springs, but my husband loved his, so I think I just ordered something I didn't like, and that it wasn't that the food was bad, more just not my thing.

Allergy-friendly as in gluten-free??

My daughter is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts and eggs. I do not know if the chicken we had was gluten free....BUT .... I was recently diagnosed with non-celiac gluten sensitivity and can no longer have gluten. I have read that they can do a gluten free fried chicken. It is possible that our allergy friendly fried chicken was gluten free but because we did not have that as an allergy at the time, I cannot confirm.

Hidden Gem: we had a surprisingly nice meal at Backlot Express in HS. Refillable drinks probably helped our assessment. But they've changed the menu since then, so can't vouch for current food

Must-Do: Boma dinner. Hands down.

Skip it: we've had medicocre meals lots of places and then had a great meal on another occasion at the same place. But a consistent underperformer for us is the Commissary in HS .

Hidden Gem: Captain Cooks at the Poly. The Aloha pork sandwich is the best QS entree I've had.
Must Do: CRT. There's just something about eating in the castle. The food has been good for us although this last year the portions seemed significantly smaller. And we're firmly in the character meal stage. It's expensive but nicer than the other ones we've done.
Skip: I don't know what to say on this. We've had a really bad meal at CP but also a good one. We've had an awesome meal at Tusker House and an eh one. Chef Mickey's was better than I expected. Coral Reef was not my favorite but we're doing it again because the kids really want to go again. It seems an experience one time doesn't mean you will get a similar experience the next time necessarily.

[Alicefan]

Hidden Gem: The Plaza
Must visit: Ohana for dinner
Don't waste your time: Coral Reef for sure...tried it twice and it was a "nope" both times. Beautiful but probably the most noticeably noisy and very average food.
