Trail's End Restaurant

This was my first time eating at Trails End quick service restaurant since they converted from an all-you-can eat buffet a couple years ago. I was a fan of the buffet restaurant. So I wasn't sure how the new incarnation would work. Well, I'm pleasantly surprised. The new restaurant lived up to my expectations. While I think the buffet made for a better "destination" restaurant -- that is, a restaurant I'd travel to from another resort -- I think the new format works better for Fort Wilderness campers. Its quick, convenient service meets the needs for a broader set of diners. The food quality is good. The ingredients were fresh and, to some degree, mirrored the food originally served at the buffet. Last night (Thanksgiving) I had an excellent Holiday sandwich. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, and a bit of cranberry sauce served on a fresh roll. I'd say it was on par with the Holiday sandwich at Earls of Sandwich (high praise, as that's a perennial fave of mine). Their offering saved me a trip over to Disney Springs. This morning, I had the breakfast pizza. What a novel idea; a great way to make use of their pizza ovens in the morning. The pizza included egg, sausage and cheese... and was quite tasty. I also tried the biscuits and gravy, as well as the Mickey Cinnamon Roll (which was cute and looked yummy). The cinnamon roll lived up to its promise, but unfortunately, the biscuits and gravy didn't quite get there. The biscuits were fine... the gravy was too bland. While the sausage gave the pizza the flavor kick that made it great, the same didn't happen for the sausage gravy. I suspect there just wasn't enough sausage in the gravy. (This is the biggest problem I find with biscuits and gravy across the country. Not enough flavor.)The only other negative I could find is that it's difficult to figure out all they have to offer. The menu is relatively simple. But they have a number of additional items that aren't on the menu. For example, I was able to get a side of Cole slaw with my sandwich (although I got so full I couldn't finish it). And you can order a single slice of breakfast pizza as opposed to the whole pie. (Although, be warned, a single slice isn't a very good value compared to the pie.)Also, don't forget to check the grab and go family portion containers for more options (they looked good). If you don't see what you want, it never hurts to ask. (But since the prices of off the menu items aren't listed, you might want to check on them before ordering.)To finish up this review, I want to commend the staff at Trails End. Their service was exemplary. First of all, there were enough employees to keep things clean and running. (You don't see that at a lot of fast food restaurants anymore.) And when I had an issue this morning (my fault), they were quick to resolve it. They even made it easy for me, letting me eat my food while they went and fixed my problem. Highly recommended for anyone who finds themselves at Fort Wilderness!

Sooooo, it is no longer a buffet but, the food is still delicious. It is a quick service with some Grab & Go items. You order quick service style in the upper level and you order table service style in the lower area on the same level as the bar. The bartender, Victor, was very helpful and fast.

The food here is just mediocre. It is a typical quick service. It is the same food as the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review. The fried chicken is eatable but I would not say it is good. Publix fried chicken is way better. All of the deserts are VERY sweet. The BBQ is rather bland. The building itself is cute but it has very simple seating. If you want good fried chicken on property go to Art Smith's. If you want good BBQ go to Polite Pig and if you want good deserts go to Amorette's.

We were camping and decided to pop in for breakfast on a Monday morning. It was very quiet. The food was great. We got the breakfast totchos and a Mickey cinnamon roll. So delicious. The service was great. They brought the food out quickly. Great way to end our trip!

An option while staying at the Wilderness Lodge in Disney. We ordered a barbecue plate and turkey sandwich which were good. Not a lot of options at this restaurant if you don't like meat. The strawberry shortcake was really good too.

The staff was the most helpful in explaining the dining plan. I wish we had ordered a pizza early in the week and just ate leftovers because it was delicious and a good value. All my boys loved the arcade and I loved sparkling wine with my mother by the lake.

This was the second time we visited the Trail's End Restaurant and very disappointed with the change. Last time we came for breakfast was served fresh in a large black iron pot everything was great at a good price. This time the options changed and choices were limited. For $12.99 now you get a scoop of scrambled eggs, a5 or 6 tater tots, a small hard biscuit, one bacon, one sausage link all precooked on a paper plate. Very disappointed.Unfortunately this will be the last time we come here while at Camp Wilderness and we will just prepare breakfast in the RV.Like others mentioned the big breakfast at McDonalds would be a better choice at half the price.

Classic good tasting salad! Convenient pickup from a refrigerator and then you can choose to add chicken and salad dressing. Very friendly and kind service. Nice little ambiance with hillbilly music and warm rustic lighting.

I just saw in a local social media food group that Trail's End Restaurant has closed its doors.This is sad news for all as it was a good restaurant with a fine vibe, a great staff and good food.I guess change is necessary, but it is always sad to see a place close its doors.

So my compliant is that I sat at a table, then after a while realized that it was self service ish. So i went on the app and ordered my breakfast. The line was too long to order from cashier. Need a question do you want to eat at the restaurant on the app. Eating food out of a box at a restaurant feels so very wrong. There are plenty of waitresses restaurants that have you order from an app, but they bring your food to your table. Maybe big table numbers each table needs to have the app logo on the table.?I look like my food was thrown in the box and i got small broken pieces of bacon not a strip.
