I've been to WDW many times and haven't had any major experiences dining around the parks and resorts that would merit any major discussions. Anyone care to share your stories??

I haven't eaten everywhere in wdw but my favorite so far is Jiko. The food there is unlike anything I have had before. I had a wild boar dish for appetizer and elk for my main. Both had seasonings and vegetables that I had never heard of before. Both delicious. The bread that comes before the meal was also great. As for worst, I would have to say Marrakesh only because half of my party couldn't find anything to eat. I personally liked it.

I hesitate to share any bests or worst because dining opinions are based so much on subjectivity, and in our experiences, a lot of inconsistency. I could tell you the place I ate was vile and another person could say the same stuff was delicious. It may be personal preference...it may be a better culinary crew on that night...or it could be a combo of both.

My Personal Experiences - Table Service (again, these are subjective):

Magic Kingdom:

Best:
Skipper Canteen - My wife and I are big curry fans, so we love having the Vegetable Curry option here
Be Our Guest - I would recommend Lunch here, the atmosphere and food are equally above par for such a large eatery

Worst:
Plaza Restaurant - Just nothing worth coming back for
Tony's - pasta is a big bowl of mush. The food is low grade Italian IMO

Epcot (there are so many choices but to stay consistent I'll stick with top 2 and worst 2):

Best:
Tokyo Dining - Go at Lunch, its cheaper and the staff give you a traditional Japanese welcome. Order off menu Sushi if you'd like.
Rose & Crown - Love the feel of the pub and the bangers and mash are fantastic along with their beer's

Worst:
Coral Reef Restaurant - Great atmosphere but that its. Food is bland and the service is so-so
Restaurant Marrakesh - had a # of great meals here but the last 2 years have left us dissatisfied

Hollywood Studios:

Best:
Hollywood Brown Derby - Love their world famous Cobb Salad. I recommend this for Lunch (plus you get rolls and butter, which will fill you up!)
Hollywood & Vine - Very cool atmosphere, its all you care to enjoy with a TON of delicious options

Worst:
Mama Melrose - Again, Disney misses the mark on Italian fare. Its just not worth it, and you expect better.
Sci_Fi - This one is great for a Burger and fries and Atmosphere. I really haven't had an issue here but its nothing that will blow you away

Animal Kingdom -

Best:
Tiffins - The food here is some of the best I have had in WDW. They really nailed the menu on this one
Yak and Yeti - Great place for lunch, great theming

Worst -
Not much I don't like at AK. The Avatar quick service is just so so, but they do a great job at AK.

Hope this helps! Resort Restaurants are a whole other beast but as far as park restaurants, these are my humble opinions.
 
best: trex, Via Napoli, Harbor House, Yak and Yeti
worst: it was backlot. Only reason I say this is because I ate there 2 years ago and the food wasn't great, then I ate there last year and got food poisoning. Worst experience ever
