A diner from NEFLA
Feb 27, 2010
Drove up from NE Florida to visit Disney with our grandchildren and chidren. We thought this would be a nice place to go since I had been to Angel's MANY years before and it was wonderful. Boy, was I WRONG. First off, the host seating us was totally off on his description of what the buffet included...another customer set us straight. We should have kept walking out the door but decided to stay and see if it was going to be okay.
For the cost of the buffet, even without the lobster, you would think they would be a little more creative than what appeared to be frozen, breaded shrimp and packaged macaroni and cheese. You would have thought for a seafood buffet and the extremely expensive looking billboards advertising such a WONDERFUL buffet, you would at least get fresh and home-breaded shrimp and/or oysters. It sure doesn't appear so. Crab salad was woefully dry and bland, fried chicken crust was so hard, I couldn't eat it and the crust is my favorite part of fried chicken. I looked for fresh fried oysters...none available, jambala was inedible and I didn't even want to try the crab legs, much less the lobster. The roast was very pink which is normally okay but we could not cut it even with a steak knife..we threw it away. Salad bar was very limited and so-so, rolls were totally hard on the bottom from sitting on the hot bar so long. Dessert bar (BAKERY???) was packaged and apparently pre-frozen dessert slivers spread out over half of a rounded serving table in the middle of the restaurant. Fresh fruit was mostly canned fruit and tiny apples. We tried some of the cookies and even those were burned and tasteless.
It's such a shame that in a city of this size and with the amount of people visiting that this restaurant is still even OPEN...should be closed for sure. TRAVELERS...BE WARY, DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY...
