Roaring Fork

Just a great place to eat. Stay here every year and love to eat here. The tuna is great and so is the flatbreads. Recommend it for a nice relaxing meal.

Okay, can’t move. Damage has been done… Just ate here so I may as well type until I can get up, again.
Regardless of where I’m staying on property I make the effort to hit «The Roaring Fork» located at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. The Wilderness Lodge has a turn-​of-​the-​century theme, so the dining area at The Roaring Fork has that classic ‘camping’ feel to it.
Every hotel has their own little, quick-​bite eatery with certain hallmarks that set one apart from the other. This one has a fantastic flatbread pizza that I find myself craving long after my vacation ends. Just ask what the Chef’s ‘flat bread of the day’ is and go with it!
There’s also a great little condiment bar that fosters my creative spirit! Lettuce, pickles, onions, tomato, you get the idea… Anyway, earlier today, my wife watched (rather judgmentally, I might add) as I created a franken-​pizza to die for! The same bar of course lends itself well to burgers, BBQ sandwiches, etc.
In addition to the aforementioned pizza, the Roast Beef & Blue sandwich is also excellent. There really are no bad choices, here. In fact, I’ve probably had everything on the menu, twice. The staff is friendly, the restaurant is clean, the food is excellent and things are clearly well managed.
If you’re actually staying at this property, you’re in for a reasonably priced treat. (See pic of menu below)
If you’re staying at a neighboring property and would like to visit, you can get to The Wilderness Lodge via a boat from Fort Wilderness, The Contemporary Hotel or Ticket and Transpo. You can also grab a bus from ticket and transpo or simply drive over.
The wilderness lodge is particularly beautiful during Christmas. Have Fun!
Keep in mind that this is a quick-​bite eatery located just off the pool area. If you want more formal dining, that’s of course available at a neighboring restaurant, right around the corner. This is just a fun place to get in and out of without your wallet hemorrhaging.

NOTE: Be sure and follow me on Unilocal for my other Disney reviews. See that little icon under my name to the left that says, «Follow this person on Unilocal?»…click that! We’ll be buds! Seriously, do it. I’m shallow and need that sort of validation in my life.

We had a great salad here for $ 8 and it was HUGE. it’s a small little dining hall with a nice seating area. I wouldn’t go out of your way to visit but if your at the resort definitely check it out

It’s not trying to be fine dining, so it’s not fair to compare it to that. It’s a glorified snack bar, and as such it does quite well. There is a nice selection of food from tasty but bad for you, all the way to healthy and yummy. Hot meals are divided into two station areas which (though a little confusing at first) cuts down on the lines quite a bit.
It doesn’t have a huge seating area, although I’ve never be stuck without a table. So I guess they have enough.
Check out the Micky Waffles in the morning. They are great. Also the Turkey wraps are excellent.

Lack luster counter service as they miraculously lost the food ticket for half our party. Dried out cupcakes. Super old chicken nuggets. Definitely a pass other than it was the only available thing.

The food is mostly the basics such as hamburgers and flatbread pizzas which weren’t bad, but after several days of the same options, some variety would be good. They did have a special item each night which certainly helps.

Small quick service at Wilderness Lodge. We love the chili here and the fixings bar is nice. It’s really loud when it’s full since it’s just a small room with too many seats crammed in. There is seating outside which is very nice if the weather is nice. It’s also nice if there’s a lot of screaming children inside. Overall it’s decent for quick service.

We had lunch here and were pleasantly surprised. I had the Roast Beef and Blue sandwich, and it was very good. The home made potato chips were excellent. My wife had a great salad, and my kids very much enjoyed their meals. All that for $ 40, which is very good for Disney. Would definitely go back.

This is the snack bar/​restaurant at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. The food is OK. Breakfast crossiont was lousy. The packaged hard-​boiled eggs were OK, the packaged oranges were excellent (it IS Florida!) and the packaged hummus and crackers were good. Everything else was some version of meh. I couldn’t find bottled iced cofffee, which I really wanted. Bummer.
Two big frustrations: Many unattended children, as well as some adults, will skip the line and cut in front of those waiting in line. Employees (who are nice to a fault) do nothing to discourage this. Can’t tell you how many times this happened.
Second, most of the snacks come in plastic containers that can’t be recycled. Come on, Disney.
It fills up fast in the mornings, as everyone carbo-​loads for the parks, so get there early.

We came in here only once on our 3^rd stay at the Wilderness Lodge. It was late and we were hungry. The menu was not enticing but we had 2 orders of chicken nuggets with fries (8 nuggets) for $ 9.59 each. Didn’t feel like having burgers and we really wanted corn dogs but they do not sell hot dogs here. The lines are long. You place your order and have to stand around waiting for them to cook it as there is no table service.
Our old mugs which gave us unlimited soda refill are no longer valid. They now have a different mug system that only allows you unlimited refills for the number of days you have purchased their soda plan.

Roaring forks is the quick service restaurant at the Disney Wilderness Lodge resort. We dined at the casual sit down service dining option as well but found this to be more convenient (especially with the take away option to bring back to the room).
Dinner options are the standard quick service options — burger, chicken fingers, fries, pizza. Breakfast has Mickey shaped waffles covered with strawberries and a few other options including a croissant stuffed with egg, cheese and bacon. There is nothing amazing, but it is cheaper, quicker, you can take it back to your room and you don’t need to worry about reservations. This was handy for our schedule and much easier to plan when traveling with children.

It’s okay, i have been to better quick service restaurants at disney world. It has your standard sandwiches, burgers, chicken nuggets and fries. The burger wasn’t something to run and tell about standard disney fair. But the pre made turkey wrap in the cooler was amazing. I loved every bite, super filling also. It took me two days to eat it. Well worth a dining credit.

The Wilderness Lodge we stayed at was great! The quick serve Roaring Fork was awful. Same food selection for 9 days we were here and the quality was poor. Not much food selection either. The quick serve at the Port Orleans-​Riverside was gazillion times better. The soft serve ice cream machine was out of order when we checked in and it was still broken when we checked out 9 days later. Very limited space to dine in.

We stayed at the beautiful Wilderness Lodge for our Diney trip. Ok, I admit that in all the times I have been to Disney, I had never had a Mickey Waffle. Obviously, I had to do something about this PRONTO! My son and I got up early and headed down to Roaring Forks to pick up some breakfast to eat out on our balcony that overlooked the pool. It was an awesome view! My son got the breakfast platter which had scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns, and a biscuit. I didn’t try this, but it looked good and my son certainly enjoyed it! I of course had the mickey waffles. To make it extra healthy, I had it with strawberries and whipped cream (Hey it’s fruit!) which made it extra special. We stopped here a few more times for snacks during our 10 day stay. The staff is always very friendly and the space kept clean.

First off, their staff is so friendly! Every single one of them. Breakfast was quick and easy. Every condiment you could possibly need right there for you.
Wanted a nighttime bite and the cast member on duty recommended the tomato-​basil flatbread. It was absolutely delicious to say the least. Disney may not be known for the greatest pizza, and they may have figured that out for themselves. if these flatbreads are the new «pizza», I’m very happy. Fresh, crisp, almost smokey (in a good way!), creamy delicious real mozzarella, sliced juicy tomato instead of sauce, a good amount of slivered basil on top. I devoured it.

Great place to eat at Walt Disney World. The wilderness sauce on the chicken sandwich makes it really amazing. Prices are typical for a Disney dining location. Small bakery has good muffins and other items. I always bring visiting friends here.

If you are looking for quick service, this is where you’ll want to go. This is where you can also get your $ 15 dollar resort mug, which gives you unlimited refills of soda, tea, coffee throughout your stay. I was trying to calculate the break-​even point, but no where could I find prices for drinks. All three meals can be had here and choices are limited, but food wasn’t too bad. They were even able to accommodate my wife’s gluten allergy. At 2pm, they seem to do magic cookie hour where you get a free chocolate chip cookie and you get to decorate it with frosting and sprinkles. A fun thing to do if you are in the resort at that time. All in all, a thumbs up for Roaring Fork.

A really good quick service option located within the Wilderness Lodge.
Really good food, and reasonable prices.
We had breakfast and lunch here. The bounty platter was beyond bountiful. And the croissant sandwich was I had was certainly enough for me. Mickey ear waffles. nough’ said.
The stand out for me, was the wilderness salad for lunch. One good salad can make you feel healthy again. So then I deserved the carrot cake muffin with cream cheese icing. Do you follow how that works?
I can’t recommend the Disney Dinning plan enough. But be aware that the portions are out of control so you can really share, even though they tell you not too.

Roaring Fork is a great quick service dining option at Wilderness Lodge.
The Grilled Northwest Chicken Sandwich (with Canadian Bacon, Wilderness Sauce, and Cheddar, served with Cucumber Salad or French Fries) is a solid choice… as is the Roast Beef and Blue Cheese Sandwich (served with Cucumber Salad or House-​made Chips). The cucumber salad is surprisingly good.
Great flavors, good prices (around $ 8.99 or $ 9.99) and easy in and out service. You can’t go wrong with visiting Roaring Fork. Grab a sandwich and head to a table by the pool. You’ll be relaxed in no time.
They have beer and wine, are open late and the food is always fresh.

We stayed at Wilderness Lodge on our trip last week so we frequented Roaring Fork Café. My only complaint is that it is sooo… far from the Villas at Wilderness Lodge. It’s much convenient for those staying in the Lodge itself.
They have a great drink station, a lot of food options, gigantic brownies (which are more cakey then brownie so I don’t recommend them if you are looking for a brownie), salads… a lot of great options!
Nice, but small seating area… it’s very cozy. :) I would rather take my food up to my room or up to the main lobby and eat by the fireplace, personally. They do have a microwave in the seating area.
