Editorial Summary

The hosts of the Disney dining show provide a mixed review of Boatwright's Dining Hall at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside. The meal began with several successes, including a highly praised charcuterie board, Mardi Gras fritters, and a berry smoothie. The group also noted that the complimentary cornbread service was a strong start to the dining experience. However, the quality of the meal diverged significantly during the main courses. While the pork tenderloin and shrimp and grits received positive feedback, the beef medallions were described as inedible and the Cajun Bayou catfish was criticized for having a soapy flavor and sweet stuffing. Dessert offerings were generally acceptable, though one toffee brittle was compared to the smell of a wet dog. Despite excellent service from their server, the hosts concluded that the restaurant is too inconsistent to justify its high price point. The reviewers ultimately assigned scores ranging from one to six, noting that the experience felt like a gamble due to the extreme variance in food quality.

Creator's Key Takeaways

the Mardi Gras fritters are a homemade pimento cheese a fritter that's deep-fried with the pepper jelly that was outstanding

my food was completely inedible it was I just I don't get I could have made it better than that

the way I describe the flavor was you know how you walk in to an old basement and you've got that musty damp smell well take that smell and put it into liquid form

this place is not worth what you're paying to be there it just isn't
