When I was in my attendance heyday (late 80s until I began working there in 1994), I thought the burgers were tasty. Not top tier, but reliable and yummy. And served in boxes. Greasy good. Not the dry, tasteless, served-atop-fries-in-an-open-plastic-bowl/plate. Ick.
Originally Posted By mater4 I tried Cafe Orleans on my last visit and it was not a place I will go back to. I thought the french onion soup was ok but Mimi's is 10 times better.

Taste Pilots and Plaza Inn come to mind as some of our favorites. We eat a lot at Mimi's on Harbor to get some variety that is not provided in the parks. I often wonder how a kid can eat chicken nuggets,burgers, pb&j or pizza for every meal.

I remember the food at WDW being tasty, but then the only thing I ever eat at DL are churros, chicken strips and ice cream. I recall my family and I eating at the French Market in the early 90s; I had the fried chicken, and we really didn't care for it. A few years ago I had dinner at the Blue Bayou and enjoyed the pork roast.

But the other food included Steak, prime rib, mexican, clam chowder, ribs, gumbo, pizza, salads, fish. The one burger we had was when they were asleep, and it was awesome - I love the Grand
Originally Posted By ecdc >>DL can do good burgers. The roomservice ones a the Grand are awesome!<< I wonder where the discrepancy is. I can't really imagine that Taste Pilot's Grill is getting fresh ground beef daily while the Hungry Bear is sitting on Vietnam era surplus frozen patties. My guess is DLR is getting their food deliveries from the same distributor, but maybe not.
Originally Posted By ChurroMonster darkbeer: "ESPNZone Burgers... AWESOME! IMHO, the best burgers at the DLR!" No question they are delicious. The fact you can enjoy them with a pint of Fat Tire....well, that can't be beat at DLR.

And it's not just the condiment bar. In reality the burgers from TPG aren't great but the condiment bar certainly helps a ton. I don't know why DL's burgers are so bad but I don't think I'll ever try one again.

Originally Posted By monorailblue Re 56: it may be gross, but considering how rarely I wash my hands before eating at the parks--and what your hands grab throughout the day, I think I do myself more harm by just eating. The great thing about the condiment bar is taking an inch or two or tomato slices to snack on after you leave.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 It's weird; I'm old enough to have eaten burgers at the TL Terrace since the year it opened (and when TL was such a great land, my family always seemed to have lunch there), and I don't remember EVER getting a tasty burger there.
