we ate at a seafood place which is on a pier in the water - not fultons (on the boat) this is a different place - I;ve found it on a map - it's called Cap'n Jack's Restaurant.

I would have to say - don't bother - it was all fine, but a little formal and quite pricey for what we had, and there was no Disney atmosphere at all, it was just a stuffy formal restaurant.

We have eaten at Wolfgang Puck express which is quite nice - it's just a casual place but they have nice pizzas and sandwiches, which we enjoyed, and you can sit inside or outside as you prefer, we usually opt for the air conditioning, but I always think it looks ncie outside on the patio.

Ghirardelli for ice-cream is not to be missed either, but they only have puddings, no main courses (not that this is a problem you understand...)

We loved House of Blues - great food and great atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Click here for their menu.

Another vote for Wolfgang Puck's, we really enjoyed our meal here. DH liked the Cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory at DQ

We did MacDonalds too Julie
Don't bother with The Rainforest Cafe IMO it was a waste of money.

I agree with Bev about Cap'n Jacks - overpriced, and Sam about the Rainforest cafe - food not up to much.

But... you have to try Fulton's. Not the cheapest option but the food is fantastic!

Oh yes, and do go to Ghirardellis

Agree with House of Blues. I tried the Gospel Sunday Brunch, a bit pricey at $90+ for 2 adults/2 kids, but different enough to be worth it. Time restrictions apply here though.

Bongo's was on the pricey side too, and nothing there the kids liked.

Planet Hollywood can blow hot and cold with quality.

I would love to have tried Fultons, but the prices, sheesh.

Sorry Sam. I love the Rainforest cafe. My son Ben hates it though as the thunder/lightning scares him.

Forty thirst street serve some great smoothies/cocktails.

McDonalds is McDonalds... nuff said

It was freezing in the Rainforest restaurant, so was the food, and the service wasn't great either. I know everyone is entitled to an "off-day" but this one was a little too expensive to be given a second chance.

I think the McDonalds in the US are MUCH better than ours

House of Blues...wonderful for dinner, just a drink at the bar, or as Lyn said, try the Gospel brunch for something different (and amazing food!)

Wolfgang Pucks...nice but pricey I thought

Ghirardelis... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...DO IT!

Planet Hollywood...love it for all the memorabilia and the foods good mostly!

Fultons...amazing food but very pricey, lovely for a special occasion

Rainforest Cafe...ok but wouldnt rush back, great when Becky was younger

Cheesecake factory at DQ must be tried..great desserts and coffee!
