Great review of CG, I booked it for our next trip and skipped Cape May this time...have not been to CG in years so its time to give it another try
I hope you like Captain's Grille! I'm always quite pleased with the buffet since it includes a good mix of classics and more interesting breakfast items (plus, it only costs about $17 or $18 per person, so the price doesn't sting as much as it does at character meals with less food variety).Wow! The cheesy tomato and breakfast bread pudding look delicious! This is the second review I have seen on here lately for the Captain's Grille breakfast buffet and now I'm totally sold. This is going to be a must on my next trip. Thanks for the pics!
Thanks so much for the kind words - I really enjoy writing food reviews and am happy that you appreciate my descriptions of the food.I admit when I read you were under 21 my first thought was I'm old enough to be your mother (plus some) and then I was quite impressed that your palate is so sophisticated. You have an awesome perspective for someone so young.
As for Captain's Grille, your plate of food looks awesome! We went there in Feb and I ate breakfast off of the menu and not the buffet since I wasn't that hungry. I'm excited to go back in August! Thanks for continuing to share!
I hope you have a great meal at Captain's Grille - it'll be nice to eat somewhere that's somewhat quiet and offers more options than the standard breakfast location.booked in for Captains grille breakfast in October so thanks for the great photos
I really hope you like Captain's Grille! Just in case you (or anyone else) would like to see the most recent breakfast menu, here it is. Between the buffet and the unique à la carte dishes (citrus-scented french toast with lavender-infused strawberry compote; lemon-ricotta hotcakes with blueberry compote and citrus pudding; etc.), I wish you the best of luck in deciding what to get.Great review of CG, I booked it for our next trip and skipped Cape May this time...have not been to CG in years so its time to give it another try
Changing ADR's is part of the fun! If you do try Captain's Grille, I hope you like it - it's become one of my favorite breakfast TS options (along with Kona).I have to stop reading your reviews. Every time I do I change another ADR!
Your pics just made me want to try Captain's Grille for breakfast!
I'm glad that you enjoy seeing the more unique options! On some trips, I'll stick mainly to fish dishes, but this trip it was really fun branching out and ordering dishes I previously wouldn't have (like the memorable lamb at Yachtsman). And speaking of hot dogs, I still can't really explain why I liked the mac and cheese hot dog at Fairfax Fare so much.I swear that I can read and re-read your reviews and see something different each time! And I love that you're adventurous and try something like escargot but you're not above trying out a dish with a hot dog! It really makes your reviews interesting and fun!
I don't think the hotcakes are part of the buffet (although that would be lovely)! So I guess I'd recommend trying Captain's Grille twice - it would probably be worth it.Darn it, Donald. Now I want to have breakfast at Captain's Grille TWICE. Once because several items on your buffet plates looked good (like that grilled tomato) and once because those lemon ricotta hotcakes sound heavenly! I don't suppose there's any chance that those lovely things are on the buffet?
I hope it sticks around on the menu for a while - it's a nice change from a cheeseburger!oooh that is a nice looking pita sandwich.
I'm glad things are calming down so you have the time to read dining reviews and get excited for your trip. Having a WDW trip on the horizon is such a great feeling.All caught up! Life got hold of me so couldn't visit the board for awhile... Now the things are starting to get straight, I plan on reading other's dining review to get hyped up for our upcoming trip.
It's nice to see that some QS restaurants are coming up with more interesting menu aside from chicken nuggets and burgers.
I'm so looking foward to trying something from Sunshine Tree Terrace and Tamu Tamu's menu looks interesting as well.
I'm so excited to hear that someone else remembers the smoothies! They seem to be largely forgotten (unlike the beaver tail, handwich, figaro fries, or the recently-revived citrus swirl), but they were wonderful.Thanks for the Tamu Tamu review. That pita sandwich does look good! I too miss the smoothies there.
Thank you for the wonderful compliments! Honestly, I think it would be awesome to be a food critic, writer, or photographer. If I could get a job doing that, I'd definitely consider it. But even if it's not my job (which it probably won't be), it'll certainly remain a strong interest of mine. I'm glad that you enjoy my writing style and photos.
Thanks so much for reading! I'm glad you're enjoying my reviews - dining reports certainly help pass the time when I'm waiting to go back.Really enjoying your reviews and your pictures are wonderful! It's making me even more excited for our trip this fall, thanks so much for sharing your experiences!
I hope you get to try Captain's Grille breakfast! I can honestly say I'm surprised by how much it's grown on me, and now it's a must do (if we're staying in the Epcot area).The Captain's Grille has never really been on my radar, but that breakfast looks good! Depending on what Food and Wine events I reserve, I may have to have breakfast there one day in November since I'll be staying at BCV.
That beef pita looks delish!
I definitely recommend the pita sandwich - it's a great change from the more typical burgers and hot dog offerings.That pita sandwich looks pretty good. I might put that place on the list for our trip in January! Thanks for sharing.
Honestly, I don't know whether it's worth the price or not - Disney has shattered my illusions of sensible pricing. I guess for me, the price is worth it when I compare it to other Disney quick service locations - a Pecos Bill cheeseburger (also with apple slices or fries) would be $8.69, so for $0.30 more, I can get something more unique (albeit slightly less filling). Either way, it's overpriced, but I've already embraced that.First, I really like that option of the pulled beef pita at Tamu Tamu but.... is it really worth $8.99? I think I'm getting cheap which makes no sense when I'm willing for fork over $50+ for breakfast at CRT! Glad to know there are good kiosk options at AK.
Wow, I really appreciate that compliment! Thanks so much - I'll definitely do my best to be descriptive and analytical in the reviews for our next trip.I used to write restaurant reviews for a newspaper.... you would be great at it.
Thanks so much for the kind words - I really enjoy writing these reviews, and I'm happy to hear that my reviews are actually enjoyable to people.I have really enjoyed your reviews and pictures!
I totally agree with the previous posters that you would be a great food critic/photographer
