BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 WDWMagic has posted a review of lunch at the new Be Our Guest Restaurant, located in the Fantasyland expansion area of the Magic Kingdom...http://www.wdwmagic.com/dining/be-our-guest-restaurant/news/03nov2012-review---lunch-at-new-fantasyland%27s-%27be-our-guest-restaurant%27.htmA short excerpt...So how was the food? In a word, fantastic. This is by far the best quick service restaurant food in the Magic Kingdom, and ranks right up there as one of the best in Walt Disney World. The grilled steak sandwich was beautifully seared, medium well, with a garlic herb butter on a good sized french roll. We substituted the fries for green bean jardiniere, which was a great accompaniment to the sandwich. Priced at 10.99, it is on a par with other quick service dishes throughout the parks. For dessert, we had the lemon meringue cupcake. It was a perfect light sweet ending to the lunch, not too large, and a nice ratio of cake to lemon cream filling and meringue on top. (You can see photos of the food at the bottom of this article)The menu contains some interesting dishes, a notch above other quick service restaurants at Disney. Dishes like Tuna Nicoise Salad, Quinoa Salad and Braised Pork add some real quality food to the lineup. No burgers and chicken strips in sight here - thank goodness. This restaurant is about real food. It seemed that the french fries served with some dishes are just regular quick service fries, which is a shame, as there would have been a great potential here to do some really standout fries with some kind of seasoning, but at least they can be substituted out for something more fitting with the main dish. Even the kids menu is special - this is the place to take kids for real food in the Magic Kingdom.You can view all the menus and pricing here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The kid's menu has interesting choices. Do you know the Disney policy on adults ordering off the children's menu? It states 9 years and younger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It states 9 years and younger.I have never had a problem at quick serves ordering off of the kids menus for my teen daughters.At BOG, you are ordering from a touch screen, so there isn't even a CM to tell you what you can and can't order.You should have no problem ordering from the kid's menu. Sit down places may be a different story.TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 We were impressed. Very good, great service, and a beautiful dining room. Will have details and photos in my TR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brent... Just Brent 83 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The food sounds heavier than I prefer, but I'm excited to hear what Gwen thinks. Seems like we have similar tastes based on TR's.I'm also just glad there's a better TS/CS option in MK. So much of the food there was "meh" and priced at a premium.

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 We have a dinner ADR for our trip, but lunch sounds good too. I guess it would be silly to eat there twice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Another, more in depth review of the Be Our Guest restaurant with LOTS more photos has been posted by the Disney Food Blog...http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2012/11/04/guest-review-be-our-guest-restaurant-lunch-in-the-magic-kingdom/Some excerpts...French Onion SoupThe quiche was moist and flavorful, with a flaky crust. I loved it. The salad of field greens with Champagne vinaigrette dressing was a perfect complement.QuicheMy guest thoroughly enjoyed the braised pork, which is served in a bowl, like you’d expect a hearty provincial meal to be.The mashed potatoes and side of green beans, caramelized onions, and red peppers sort of all mix together, with a brown mushroom gravycovering all. The braised pork is fork tender, no knives necessary.Braised PorkFriends who also dined there that day enjoyed the Carved Turkey Sandwich and the Grilled Steak Sandwich, and both got great reviews.Grilled Steak SandwichThe kids’ menu item we chose was the Carved Turkey Sandwich. My son is a verrrry picky eater and will rarely, if ever, venture outside of his favorites of plain pasta, hot dogs, pizza, and chicken fingers. He does eat turkey at home, but hasn’t made the connection that thick-sliced turkey is the same basic thing as the thin-sliced kind he has at home. I thought I could broaden his culinary horizons, but no such luck (I’ll keep trying of course).Kids Turkey Sandwich Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikeymouse1 25 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 We ate lunch there last Friday. I had the quiche and French Onion soup my son had the same. We both found it good but not above average. The soup was very good. My DW had the steak sandwich said it was ok but was tough and lacked taste. My DD had the braised pork she only ate half and was full so I helped her finish it was petty darn good. The mashed potatos and gravy were jam up. As Gwen said the service was wonderful and the dining rooms are really beautiful and well themed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
