Grand Floridian Cafe

Classic staple of the Grande Floridian resort. You will need a reservation, which can only be booked on the Disney app. We grabbed a 6:45 spot while at the resort. We stopped by to inquire if we can eat earlier and they said that would not be a problem so we were able to seat an hour earlier. Food was great, we had the buttermilk chicken, miso glaze salmon and French onion soup which were all fantastic. The salmon, however, was by far the best.This is open all day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

We went to Grand Floridian Cafe, just two of us, for brunch on my birthday. We made a reservation and noted it was my birthday, and I was wearing a birthday button. I was disappointed that my birthday was not acknowledged at all. I wasn't expecting anything wild, but Disney often brings out a little cupcake or something, so to not get that or even have the server say happy birthday was pretty disappointing. Other than that, it was a nice experience. The restaurant is well themed, the food was good, the prices are what you expect for Disney, and it was nice to be able to park at the hotel and Wander around a bit after we ate. We ordered the carmelized onion soup, floridian style eggs Benedict, and the grand floridian signature burger. All were wonderful, though the burger was really a highlight. The brie, jam, and aoili were a perfect combo. I probably wouldn't get the benedict again just because it wasn't memorable and there are some other items that sound great. The soup was phenomenal but honestly pretty small for the cost. The restaurant is pretty, and set-up nicely, without feeling over crowded. It's just hard to have an overall good opinion when I've seen people treated 100 times better on their birthday at Disney at a quick service restaurant.

I've been to Disney so many times, and finally treated myself to a nice dinner at one of the fancier resorts! The Grand Floridian is absolutely beautiful. It's a Victorian-style resort and you definitely feel fancy just walking around. The Grand Floridian Café is on the ground floor.I'd definitely recommend making a reservation. I had one and was able to check in on the Disney app once I got in the building. It said that I didn't even need to go to the host stand, and would get a text when my table was ready. Super easy! A couple tried to walk in around the same time and was quoted an hour and a half wait, so make sure you plan ahead.My only negative is that I wasn't seated until about a half hour after my reservation, without any apology. By then I was starving. I almost took a star off for this, but everything else was so good.My waitress, Margie, was super sweet. Pro tip-you can send "cast compliments" to recognize great service in the Disney app!They give you a basket of rolls to start, which were really good. I got the signature burger, and I loved the Brie and arugula as opposed to the traditional American and lettuce. The fries were really well-seasoned.It's a bit expensive, but not outrageous and I'd say definitely worth it.

I'm not sure I have been to any Disney restaurant where I felt like they were a true 5 star. That being said, this one is on my top favorites we have been. I LOVED the buttermilk fried chicken-this is what the restaurant is known for and I understand why. I loved that one food actually came out HOT. Service was good and they had complimentary bread service.

Grand Floridian Resort-Hanging out while my husband was at a conference! I had the most delicious Apple & Chicken salad! Yummy orange juice, and a great view out the window overlooking the lake area of the resort! Definitely worth the wait to have breakfast here!

Came for dinner Sunday evening and arrived 30 minutes prior to our reservation. We were called just a few minutes before our original reservation so they are generally on time.We ordered the chicken tenders and cheese flatbread "pizza" for the kids and they enjoyed their meals so that alone was worth the 4 stars. Adults got the steak and it was pretty good. Mine was medium well and a bit too overdone. Good portion sizes. My husband said medium was a good sear for the meat. Good location and mostly on time for sit down service. Neutral on whether we would come back next time...

Had brunch today! The food was everything we expected and more! The service spot on from our reservation to our server Karen. Karen was awesome, she gave us her recommendations with a smile. The ambiance at Christmas time is exquisite!This years is 25 years of their beautiful gingerbread house display.

We love a good breakfast before a long park day and Grand Floridian Cafe never disappoints. The food is solid and the service is always excellent. They give complimentary biscuits with your meal which is a rare treat at restaurants these days. I especially love their lattes... a proper coffee. The interior is classic GF and a little tired but always clean and relatively quick for a sit down restaurant. Highly recommend.

Hubs and I had our "fancy honeymoon dinner" at Grand Floridian Cafe. It was a picture-perfect dining experience from start to finish.We checked in with Zach a few minutes prior to our reservation. Zach asked us if we had any food allergies (I have a few) so we made note of that.Even though it was 12 million degrees in central Florida in October, we started with some amazing French onion soups. We also had a wonderful bread basket that we devoured. For our entrees, I had the steak and my husband had the chicken and pasta. Both entrees were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. My pictures don't do it justice.We passed on dessert but sat and chatted as we enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the restaurant and the beautiful glass windows overlooking the rest of the property. The Grand Floridian resort is just that - absolutely grand. You don't have to be staying at the resort in order to eat at their restaurants. Our dinner came out to be a little over a hundred dollars, way less than we were expecting. Because we're Disney Vacation Club members, they took ten percent off of the total (a standard DVC perk). Grand Floridian cafe quickly became one of our favorite restaurants. We've spent more money on character meals with food that was sub-par. We will definitely be back.

The Grand Floridian Café is a great spot to start your day; with a yet relaxed ambiance and themed decor.To begin, I had the Pomegranate Paradiso.a vibrant, flavorful cocktail blending Figenza Fig Vodka with pomegranate, lemon, and pineapple juices; quite refreshing.For starters, they brought out breakfast biscuits with an array of toppings, including a delicious orange citrus butter, regular butter, and breakfast syrup. The biscuits were warm and flaky, perfect for trying each spread.For the main breakfast, we ordered The Grand Breakfast with scrambled eggs, paired with well-done bacon, sausage, and a cheesy hash brown casserole. The eggs were light and fluffy, the bacon crisp, and the hash brown casserole added a comforting, creamy richness. We also had the same dish with eggs cooked over medium, and everything was cooked perfectly.The Passion Fruit, Guava, and Orange French Toast was another great creation; Stuffed with tropical flavors and topped with a hint of sweetness, it was indulgent yet light. The fruit flavors in the French toast really stood out, making this a unique twist on a classic.The service was attentive and friendly, and ensured that every part of the meal was enjoyable, from start to finish.Overall, the Grand Floridian Café is a great choice for breakfast, offering fresh, flavorful options that feel a step above the ordinary.
