Last few times we went it was either too salty or way to much Garlic.

Last time we went, everything was terrible, even the salad was limp and tasteless.
However the time before that the food was excellent and was one of the best meals of the holiday. For us the food quality is way too inconsistent for us to go back, especially with the huge variety of other restaurants around.If you don't know whether it's going to be good or bad, it's not worth going

and I can’t believe I’m saying this but Blaze Pizza.
Have always been a big fan but was disappointed twice last year.
A lot of these places were favourites in the past .
Don’t know if they have lost their sparkle or my tastes have changed .

I've never actually tried Blaze Pizza on our 3 visits. I hear good things but I think DS has quite alot of options and we'll have usually had resort pizza so want to try something else I guess.

I know people rave about them but I find the cheeseburger spring rolls very underwhelming. Not sure if it's the price or there's nothing else I can really compare them too but I always feel a bit robbed only getting 2 small spring rolls for the price I pay

The fried chicken at Homecomin was pretty meh...

The burger pods at Satu'li Canteen in Pandora AK were a real let down. Hardly any filling and just bland.

We were very disappointed with the burger pods too.

What we've learned over the years of watching YouTube vlogs etc, is to take the local vLoggers with the huge pinch of salt when it comes to food reviews. (Mr Morrow, Wright on Main Street, Mammoth to name a few).

Most have an incentive from Uncle Walt, or don't want to upset them, for a new season of dishes. And certainly will have a different palate to most of us.

Generally we pick a Disney dining experience for exactly that - the experience. Food is important but enjoying the time and ambience is more so for us. Satu'li Canteen is a prime example. On the "pods" day - we still enjoyed being there.

Oh... one more the disappointment list - Blaze. We'll try again next visit with a different base - it was far too thin for our taste.

Wright Down Main Street is very honest in her reviews. She frequently describes food at Disney that she doesn’t rate. PMM is just excited about everything but I’ve also seen him vlog food items he didn’t like.

I agree that people just like different things though. The difficulty with threads like this is people will just list things they don’t like. To me overrated is when something is hyped up and no one really likes it as much as they say they do!
