What is one place you would NOT eat again, and why?
Ours would be Trails End Buffet - we discovered we didn't care for most of the food served, and it was a nightmare to get there. (took the boats, but it was on a Hoop-Dee-Doo night so we were very late.
-
Coral Reef. We've only been there once, in 2001, and it was bad enough to convince my husband to never go back again. It was a complete nightmare experience from start to finish, and complaining to management didn't get us anywhere, not one apology. We waited an hour to sit. Husband's steak was not cooked (not even rare- I love rare and I couldn't have eaten it, the outside was still red). I didn't want to eat mine until he had his, but the server refused to hold my food or keep it warm. His steak came back an hour later. They served my kids the completely wrong orders and acted like it was our fault. Our entire meal took three hours (so four hours for the whole experience), and it was our arrival night. We were exhausted and fed up with the place.
I have actually been back for private dining in the Living Seas pavilion, and it was delicious. I tried to convince husband to give Coral Reef another shot, but he will not set foot in the place (and I can't really blame him). Our worst meal ever.

1900 Park Fair for dinner. It was just awful and I don't wish to ever try it again.
There aren't many places I wouldn't give at least a second chance. We didn't really love Le Cellier the first time we ate there, but due to rave reviews we tried it again. It was OK, but nothing special in our opinion. I'd rather leave spots open for those who really love it than to try it again. I also didn't care for Boma on our first try, but I'd definitely like to try it again. Maybe it was an off night. However, 1900 Park Fair was so awful that I don't ever need to try again. It's one of the only places anywhere, not just Disney, that I won't give a second chance.

The Wave. Everything was simply disappointing. It wasn't terrible, just unexceptional in every way. There are too many good restaurants to enjoy to waste time at The Wave.

We ate at ABC Commissary twice last week. Both times we all ordered the burger that has 3 fried shrimp on top....best burgers we had at a CS.

Rainforest Cafe. It was loud, over priced, the server had a bad attitude, and I got food poisoning. Never, ever again
-
I'll second Rain Forest cafe. At least for us, the food was fine, but it was just too loud and obnoxious and my DS (3 years old at the time) was terrified of the moving animals.
I've read through the posts, and some places on peoples "bad lists" really surprise me. I've been to the Brown Derby... eh... 5 or so times and only had wonderful food and service. It's one of our favorite places. I've had plenty of meals at The Wave and 50's Primetime--I wouldn't rave about either, but I'm fine going there.

We just went to 1900 Park Fare last week and the food, service & character interaction were great! It's not a huge buffet, but the food was good. We would definitely go back again! It was one of our favorites.

We had the same experience. A hurricane had come through and it was a terenchal downpour. We were soaked down to our shoes, which had puddles in them. The restaurant was freezing and we waited 90 min for a table bc, despite what they said when we asked, they were taking walk ins ahead of us. We watched them do it. They comped lobster bisque for our family but didnt tell me what it was, so here I am eating lobster (allergic to shellfish) and our food took an hour to get out and then it took 30 min just to get the bill taken care of. We had little to no apologies and no offer for free dessert or bill coverage or anything for our troubles. It was supposed to be my daughter's 9th birthday dinner and she was in tears. She had expected this to be something to look forward to, and had asked about the place for a couple of years by now. . . and they couldn't have seated us further from the tank. It was just a mess and we all left angry. I wont take my family back there. I went alone in February for a quiet dinner alone and their management is just sub-par, imho, comparatively...being that this is supposed to be Disney World.

For me it would be the princess breakfast at the Norway Pavilion. My friend used to rave about it to me all the time, and how she would never miss it on a trip to the world. So, finally one year, I decided to try it. Never again! It was VERY overpriced (which I understand you get a photo with it, and eating with the Princesses) but the food was NOT good. I could get better breakfast food at the all stars food courts! So that's mine!

For us I would guess it would be Boma or 50's Prime Time. AKL is very nice, just didn't really like the food. Have been to 50's twice and while the atmosphere was really neat and reminded me of being at my grandparent's house when I was a kid, I was not impressed with the food either time. So these two are the ones on our list that are marked...been there...done that...other places we would like to try.

Since I only get one, I'll go with the Polynesian.
Nothing there was worth the trip,, Ohana's and the Luau included...
Someone stole my Coral Reef answer, so I'll stick with the above.

I have to ditto ABC Commissary. It took forever to get our order after we placed it. The food wasn't great and my mom's hamburger was cold - not 'had been sitting there too lon'g cold - 'never heated up after it came out of the fridge' cold.

Sounds to me like the ABC Commissary was true to the true ABC Commissary. At least when I ate there.

Garden Grill. It's been about 10 years since we ate there, the food was horrible. The food just sat in my stomach all day.
I'm sure they've changed the menu, but I'm just not going back.

We don't like Sci Fi Drive In. I wanted to, and the concept is great, but it was very underwhelming as far as food goes. We never consider going back.
