On a recent visit to Walt Disney World, I made it my mission to visit some of my favorite spots. And when it came time to dine in Magic Kingdom, I knew I wanted to visit a classic –The Plaza Restaurant Learn About: The Plaza RestaurantMagic Kingdom Disney World RestaurantsSure, Magic Kingdom has the hot ticket, Be Our Guest Restaurant. And I have so many counter service favorites here, it’s hard to keep track of them all. But when it comes to the crossroads of nostalgia, value, and a (fairly) easy advance dining reservation to score, nothing compares to The Plaza. I bet you’ve passed it on a dozen visits and never given it a second thought. Allow me to show you around a bit, and maybe even change your mind. AtmosphereThe Plaza Restaurant occupies some primo Magic Kingdom real estate. You’ll find it at the corner of where Main Street USA joins with the bridge to Tomorrowland. Plaza Sign Its central location makes it accessible to all corners of the park, so it’s a great spot to dine, especially if you’d like to take a break from touring and enjoy your meal at a more leisurely pace. The Plaza Restaurant — Outside The restaurant isn’t very large. It’s made up of two main dining areas. The first room is pretty, comfortable, and bright, with lots of natural light. The mirrors, which feature ornate etching, also reflect the light and make the space feel larger. Atmosphere and Seating The art nouveau decor is in keeping with the rest of Main Street, and the pastel palette is pretty timeless. I especially love these delicate brass light fixtures. Lighting Attached to the main dining room is a smaller, octagonal room that’s filled with windows. It looks a bit like a conservatory (without the glass ceiling), or maybe a patio or gazebo that’s been walled in. While it is a beautiful space, the hard floors can make it a bit loud for my taste, and banquette seating means that I’ll spend my meal listening to my neighbor’s conversation. (Totally true. This visit I was seated at that little round table with two big parties on either side of me. I pretty much knew all of their plans by the time I was finished.) Sunroom Seating Here’s a nice close-up of a table in the main dining area. Kind of feels like eating in Grandma’s parlor, right? Window Table Spending time on Main Street USA means that you’re likely to run into some of the town’s most notable characters. This is one of those fun Magic Kingdom traditions that unite us with the customs of the past; we’ve enjoyed visits with the Mayor as we dined before. The Mayor Often Visits The Plaza Restaurant But this time out, it was the Fire Chief who paid a visit! He had important business to attend to, as he handed out the Mayor of the Day Badge to this Lucky Young Guest! (By the way — the prize for being chosen Mayor of the Day? One fastpass for your whole family to any ride you choose.) Main Street Fire Chief Gives the Mayor of the Day Badge to a Young Guest Usually the Mayor himself handles this important task; we are assuming he was on vacation and had left the Fire Chief in charge of things. EatsAfter a look around to see that everything was just the way I had left it on my last visit (it was), it was time to settle down and take a look at the menu. And do you know what? I found something new! Normally, the Plaza menu doesn’t change much, but right at the top, I spied something I hadn’t tried before — the Meatloaf Meal! Consider this your foreshadowing for the day… Menu — Click to Enlarge Meatloaf aside, the menu at the Plaza tends to lean heavily on the sandwich genre, with one notable Salad thrown in for good measure. We didn’t order the Chicken Strawberry Salad this time, but we’ve enjoyed it on past visits. Here’s a picture, in case it piques your interest. You can see a few more dish reviews here! Chicken Strawberry Salad I’ve already hinted at the first entree we decided to try. Yep — I couldn’t pass up the Meatloaf Meal. Meatloaf Meal Served with Red Skinned Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, and Whole Kernel Corn, this thing was ah-mazing!!! Meatloaf Meal — Another Angle The Meatloaf has little bits of onion and is super flavorful. The Baked Ketchup Topping provided a little sweetness, while the Beef Gravy added even more awesomeness. I know ordering meatloaf at a restaurant isn’t always a great idea. But this, like, the best idea I had all day. I’ve been craving it ever since! Meatloaf — Cross Section The Angus Chuck Cheeseburger has been a menu staple for a while, but we had to go for the newer Beef Brisket Onion Burger. Sandwiches at the Plaza come with your choice of Broccoli Slaw, Homemade Chips, or French Fries. While the chips were tempting, we decided to stick with Fries as my side. Beef Brisket Onion Burger This is one serious meatlover’s burger. The Hamburger itself is topped with a helping of shredded Beef Brisket, cooked with Onions. But it also comes with Bacon. And because that’s not decadent enough, it’s capped off with a slice of Provolone Cheese. Beef Brisket Onion Burger — Up Close How was it? Well, I’d say we have a new contender for the “What’s Your Favorite Disney Burger?” poll. Because it’s really great. (Not “meatloaf great,” but very good.) I was really surprised by the moistness of both the burger and the brisket. Beef Brisket Onion Burger — Cross Section Well, it wasn’t easy to top that, but we knew we wanted something for dessert. And when you’re at The Plaza Restaurant, dessert nearly always equals Ice Cream! With the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor right next door, it’s a no-brainer. We decided to go with a Hot Fudge Sundae. It’s nothing fancy, but it hit the spot! Hot Fudge Sundae And I also snuck in an order for the Mickey Ears Kids’ Sundae — a Mickeylodeon, if you will. This is what your kiddos can order as dessert on the dining plan, and it comes with your choice of ice cream. Pretty cute, right? Mickey Ears Kids’ Sundae And whether you call it a Beverage or Dessert, if you’re a Milkshake fan, do NOT pass up the opportunity to enjoy one of these hand-dipped babies. It’s an absolute must-have on our Milkshake Crawl Challenge! Plaza Milkshakes are Legendary! With another great Plaza meal added to our experience, off we went to enjoy the day. OverallOh Plaza. You are everything that we hope still exists when it comes to food at Walt Disney World. Even these days, there is comparative value to be found. And The Plaza Restaurant is an excellent example of that. With entrees priced just a little higher than some counter service spots, it’s hard to believe that you can eat this well, and still enjoy a table service experience. But it’s there. And it’s consistently good. And I rarely have a problem getting a table, even at the last minute. Add to that the fact that I enjoy the breathtaking views of Cinderella Castle and that feeling of history that the restaurant instills, and I’d say that The Plaza Restaurant definitely fills a niche in your Magic Kingdom dining plans. If you haven’t tried The Plaza Restaurant, make room in your itinerary to do so. I think you’ll appreciate it. Have you enjoyed a meal at The Plaza Restaurant?

I’m guessing Herbie’s Drive-in isn’t really the first place that pops into your mind when considering meal possibilities at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Learn About: Herbie's Drive-InDisney's Hollywood Studios Disney World RestaurantsAnd that’s fair, because this little stand tucked in the roundabout on the Streets of America is pretty basic. It’s not known for any sort of signature snack, and the Streets of America itself isn’t a major destination for many guests outside of the holiday season’s Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights (although I’d argue that some of the best detailing in the park can be found in this charming area, made to look like streets in New York City and San Francisco). Plus, if you’re looking for more memorable treats in this section of the park, you’re likely more tempted by the goodies at the Writer’s Stop, like the Carrot Cake Cookie. No shame in that! But if you’re in the mood for something savory instead of sweet, there’s a snack at Herbie’s that deserves as a mention. Herbie’s Drive-In Herbie’s Drive-In sign Before we dive in, though, here’s a peek at the full menu. Herbie’s Drive-in menu For a very small space, it boasts a decent list of options (and this is the place at Hollywood Studios if you’re in the market for a Corn Dog).  But my Herbie’s go-to has become the Chili-Cheese Nachos with Pico de Gallo and Jalapeno. Chili-Cheese Nachos with Pico de Gallo and Jalapeño These are made per order, so if you’re not a fan of jalapenos, you can request that they be left off (in fact, the Cast Members will likely check with you first). Otherwise, toppings are… well, exactly what the super-lengthy name of this snack tells you ;): chili, plastic cheese (or, cheese sauce, if you prefer), pico de gallo, and a helping of sliced jalapeno. Grab some napkins and even a fork – they’re as messy as they look! I like this little dish for two reasons: first, because it tastes good. I absolutely love pico de gallo for its fresh flavor (thanks especially to the bit of unique sweetness from the red onion along with the diced tomato and white onion), and there’s a nice bit of kick from the chili spice along with the jalapeno. Plus pretty much anything with plastic cheese gets an extra point . Close-up on toppings But I also like it because it’s more substantial than a typical snack, and in fact there have been a few visits to the Studios when I’ve had this as a smaller lunch and called it good. Chili-Cheese Nachos with Pico de Gallo and Jalapeño Even better, enjoying this on one of the (admittedly few) benches in this area gives you a chance to sit, relax, and take in some of the atmosphere and detail of the city streets. So, if you can’t find a bench, just pull up a curb and and relax while enjoying a bite from everybody’s favorite love bug, Herbie! Have you visited Herbie’s during a trip at Hollywood Studios?

It airs tomorrow on the Food Network at 11 a.m. EST and again on Sunday at 1 p.m. EST. Any guesses on what we made? Here’s a hint: it’s a dish you’ll definitely want to taste during brunch at Palo!
