Title: AUGUST POLL! Best Major Restaurant In Park
Post by: rjholla2003 on August 17, 2006, 01:25:22 PM: Please vote for the resturant that you think is best. If you see any errors, or feel that a location has been ommitted, please post it in this thread.

Post by: WadeJ on August 17, 2006, 04:09:22 PM: I'd think Wok & Roll should perhaps be in there ;)

Regardless, for me without a doubt its BOTW. It may be pricy but its hardly any more than the walkup stands and the food is outstanding. Plus, there is great atmosphere inside, out front or on the back towards the lake. Alright, so I might be a little biased since I helped add the theming last year lol.

Post by: rjholla2003 on August 18, 2006, 01:05:11 AM: Outpost is my favorite patio to eat at. If I wasn't looking at the more cafeteria styled places, I would have added it right off of the bat. La Cantina is all patio, but is operated a bit more cafeteria-like. If more people want it included, I'll definitely add it.

Wok and Roll would have been in, but it's a leased resturant.

Post by: WadeJ on August 22, 2006, 07:41:28 PM: I'm finding it almost amusing that Character Cafe got ZERO votes lol.

Thats saying something though because a few years ago it was one of the better places to eat.

Post by: ChuckR on August 22, 2006, 08:09:41 PM: The last time I ate there. The burger was horrible and the fries felt like they been sitting there for a half hour.

Post by: rjholla2003 on August 23, 2006, 02:01:36 AM: I'm suprised La Cantina only got 2 votes, as well as 1 for Grannys.

Post by: candc on August 23, 2006, 11:05:23 AM: Obviously, SFGA should look into updating their menu options at all the restaurants to improve the quality and variety. I definitely eat at Best of the West alot (it got my vote). The Character Caf? has had the same crappy food for years! And while Granny's isn't so aweful, they should have more choices. I remember several years ago, they offered meatloaf, which was actually quite good and some awesome apple dumplings during Fright Fest.

I hate that they added Papa John's Pizza and took away Mama Flora's rights to see their much better, home made pizza! That was hand made NY style pizza, unlike Papa John's premade stuff, much like Domino's / Pizza Hut.

A nice sit-down place with waiters and such would be great in the park! Raise the bar a little. Maybe allow in a chain or two, like Chilli's, TGI Friday's, Apple Bees, etc. lol

Correction:

Mama Flora's rights to SELL their much better

Post by: vinnyv07 on September 02, 2006, 06:32:32 PM: I ate at Best Of The West for the first time in a couple of years three weeks ago. It was beyond bad. First off...they had about three people behind the counter and it took way longer to get our food then any ride was to get on for the day. When we got our food the bugers were lukewarm at best. It was bad....I will never eat there again.
I voted for Granny's only because their chicken bucket is a good value. But the truth is you can't beat a pizza for lunch at Papa John's. For dinner the park really has nothing that knocks my socks off at all. I rather eat at Wawa's or McD's on the way out.

Post by: GADVwow on September 02, 2006, 10:22:09 PM: I disagree totally. Papa John's prices are BEYOND outrageous. I much preferred Mama's.

Besides, there's Nathan's. And the rib/barbecue place behind Nitro.

Oh I agree with you totally. Papa J's pizza prices are crazy. But so is everything else in the park. I was just comparing a meal for a family of four as compared to getting one pizza pie and having two slices each. I meal for four is going to cost way over the price of one pizza. I ate at Nathan's three weeks back and it was $40.
