Is Flying Fish the BEST Restaurant at Walt Disney World? Disney's Boardwalk Resort
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 มิ.ย. 2024
- This is part 4 of our 5 part series where we dine at all of our favorite Walt Disney World Restaurants to see which we believe is the best.
Disney's Boardwalk Resort is designed to replicate the aesthetic of a turn of the 20th Century Atlantic City Boardwalk. Complete with creepy nanny chairs, antique furnishings and a real Boardwalk that includes numerous shops and eateries.
Among these eateries resides Flying Fish. This restaurant is named after a rollercoaster train that resided within a ride called The Flying Turns at Knoebels Amusement Park in Pennsylvania. While the interior of the restaurant does include subtle nods to its parent resort's theme, the dining area is more upscale. Including blue accents, fish themed utensils and grand chandeliers that include fish in an aquatic environment. The menu specializes in seafood with classic American fare.
Our first experience here was on the 3 year anniversary of our TH-cam channel. We dined here at the suggestion of our subscribers and we were blown away. Since then, we've been back multiple times and consider this to be one of Walt Disney World's most consistent restaurants. When we created a top 5 we knew this had to be on the list. Join us while we dine on all of Flying Fish's signature cuisine and sea if they are truly Walt Disney World's finest restaurant.

It must be Bob Iger's favorite resort...I don't know if he was there for work or relaxation, but last week when I was coming out of my room at the Boardwalk, I passed him in the hallway. What a trip! Thinking I may have been mistaken, I glanced at a cast member nearby - he gave me a smile & a nod. 😊
No way! So cool. I can definitely see why he'd like it there. I definitely would've had to do a double take if that happened to me too 😆.
I have to say, I am loving Sam’s style! Her dresses are always gorgeous! 😍😍
Thank you Tiffanie, I appreciate that- they're usually from Amazon :)
This is our favorite restaurant too but they really need to bring back the chocolate breech dessert!
Our hearts have been broken and the only cure is Chocolate Breech 💔. We probably brought it up to our waitress 3 times during our meal 😆.
The crusting on that steak looks so good!! 🔥🔥
It’s phenomenal!!
Nothing can replace the Cocoa Breach.
you aren’t wrong
Good morning Sam and Jay! Thank you for another beautiful video! That NY strip with bernaise sauce looked amazing! It reminds me of what I loved as a child growing up in NY. Thank you for the memories! Have a magical day!
Thank you Cara. I am obsessed with that NY strip- it's the best. Have an amazing week and we'll see you Thursday ;)
Wishing you both a day filled with love and joy!!! 🙏🎉🙏
This has been on our list of restaurants to try and even after all these years we’ve still never tried it 😮 now that we are going to be local and have more opportunities, it’s top of the list!
We definitely recommend 🙂. Before we moved we were in the same situation and ended up going because a lot of our subscribers considered this their favorite restaurant. We were blown away. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
Next time we're in Orlando, we're going to Flying Fish to have a nice little dinner with y'all. 🥰 MY Goodness. Ask Chad. I was going "mmmm" for all the food you showed. All the menu looked amazing! I love how it's been there since the 90's. When I worked at Beach Club at night, I always loved looking over to the boardwalk to see the neon.
Excited for tea time! I also hope they will sell good cake slices. Sometimes you just want a slice of cake. 😂
For our Honeymoon Disney let us choose a place to stay and we did Boardwalk on the water and it was amazing. Def a must cause the sunset and rise are gorgeous!
Oh man, that honeymoon stay sounds like a dream! Really hope we can stay here one day with similar accommodations. Can't wait for our Flying Fish dinner 🙂. The food here really is next level from our experience. We're also hoping for Tea Time and Cake! This area is in desperate need of a bakery.
Out of your best restaurant videos, this is the only one I haven't eaten at yet and need to fix that. We love Cali Grill and Topolino's but need to try this one. The refurb looks really nice. That steak looks soooo good. I do love a good lobster bisque and those utensils are adorable. Glad the steak was still consistent and a 10, it looks heavenly. The potato red snapper looks really nice too. Great review you guys! :)
Can't wait for you guys to get here. It really is a gem. I'd say the cuisine is definitely on the same level as Cali Grill and Topolino's. The lobster bisque may be my favorite soup ever and the steak is a must. Thank you 🙂.
OMG! Those chairs are scary!!! Love your videos!
They are so creepy!!!! Thank you :)
I thought my wife was the only person that thought she deserved a birthday "month".😂. Maybe we'll bump into you guys at informer next month
This comment made me legit LOL We couldn't' get Narcoossee's until July- so it looks like this birthday celebration is even more extended. We don't have plans for Informer but if you guys are in the parks or around Universal during non event hours- please let us know :)
Yo this has been on my list since your last video here. I’m glad Jays birthday month has been going great. Can’t wait to see how you celebrate Sam’s birthday month in February lol.
We'll be partying it up for Sam's birthday. Mocktails all around this February 😆. Really hope you guys can make it here eventually. It truly is a gem!
Hi Sam and Jay!
That was a perfect dining experience 👌🏻
Thank you for bringing us along!
It's always such a lovely time here :) Thank you for watching!
Love this series! Thank you
Thank you so much 😊
I am so glad it was great again for you (I still remember your video from last year!!). Once again loved the reviews, the look at the hotel before. We are staying at BWV this October and I am thinking I might just make DH do Flying Fish (if he has to go home early I may just take you guys lol). Your Jiko video is our template for our big group dinner. Thanks once again for the video. Can't wait to see who wins top 5...off to watch Topolinos!
hahah we are always free to go to Flying Fish ;) Ohhh hope you LOVE Jiko, I really do think the dishes and the cast members are so special there. I am so anxious about the final rank- it's so hard. Thanks so much for watching.
Happy Birthday! Great review
Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you guys another loveky review. Always look forward to it love you guys ❤
Thank you for your support 🙂. We always look forward to your comments!
Flying Fish, Jiko, my two big bucket list Disney restaurants. I've tried Narcoossee's (it was okay) and Artist Point when it was a signature restaurant (it was nice), and Topolinos for breakfast so it doesn't count, but so far the signature dining I've done has been disappointing. I've preferred Toledo, Wine Bar George, and Sanaa! Thanks for the great video, definitely want to try this out!
Both are stellar experiences! My Dad wasn't a fan of Narcoossee's. To be fair, we dined at Narcoossee's on the first day they opened after their refurbishment and I think they were on their best behaviour. We're excited to see if the experience can be replicated. Toledo was next level. Only reason it didn't make this list is because our first experience wasn't that great but the last time we went was spectacular. Also, Wine Bar George and Sanaa are 🔥. Amazing picks 🙂. Thanks for your support! If you end up here we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
the desserts looked so good! so did the steak! ✨
They were good but the best item is gone :( Steak is phenomenal!
@@ThemeParkFoodies they usually bring the best around again! I hope they do - from the photos it looked delicioso!💚
Great review as usual. I have a reservation to eat at Flying Fish on 8/2 and I cannot wait! 😊
We're excited for you! Hope your experience was as great as ours 🙂. Thank you!
Again another stellar review, you guys just "get it". The wife and I have The Flying Fish on our radar for our trip in October as it will be just down stairs from our room, we have not been since the refurbishment. We are happy to hear that Frank got some steak out of this review, we need more Frank appearances. SO, do you have La Cantina de San Angel in EPCOT on your list? Happy 4th!!!!
Oh man, a room on the Boardwalk sounds like a dream stay. Hope you and the wife have the best time and enjoy your meal here as much as we did. More Frank coming! We may do Frank pictures as a member perk! We're thinking about doing this same series but with Epcot Restaurants so it's definitely on our radar 🙂. Happy 4th! And thank you!
Oh man that place is awesome. We love going there but haven't been there in a while. We will def go this Oct when we come down for the Food and Wine Fest. She crab is one of my faves and that steak looked amazing. Wonder if they could do a filet the same way they did the strip. Great review, looked like you guys really enjoyed yourselves. The only thing missing was a nice bottle of wine 😀
Food & Wine with a side of Flying Fish sounds like a great combo 🙂. The steak here is amazing! Highly recommend. A filet with the same crust would be 🔥. Thank you! We had a blast and were honestly really excited to comeback here when we started this series.
Flying Fish is the Best Restaurant on Property. The Scallops and Strip Steak are our Favorites. Pork Belly is very good. So is the Octopus. Bring money 💰, lol. Worth it. Thanks for sharing.
Hahaha definitely bring the money- we went during the 20% passholder discount period so that helped a little. If the service, ambiance, and food quality are above average- we don't mind paying more. Thanks so much for watching.
Definitely has been my favorite since the mid 1990’s. It seems to really have gained popularity recently! It’s ALWAYS consistent! Great review! Thanks!
Glad to hear this, we feel the same way. Thank you for watching :)
i had no clue about the background theme of Flying fish restaurant i thought it was themed after well fish with the school of flying fish chandeliers and its bobs favorite thats awesome info thank you! char grilled octopus is very good appetizer or side dish.Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you happy birthday happy birthday happy birthday to you Jay 👏🎂🎊🎈
We didn't know either until one of the cast members filled us it. Those subtle details really add to the experience. I think it may have lost a bit of that Boardwalk aesthetic during the refurbishment. Thank you for the birthday wishes 🙂. Bob has great taste!
Is Blue Ribbon Corn Dog open or is it just a building that will open at a later date? We will be down there next year Christmas and I realllly want to get a corn dog from here lol. But I’ve never seen y’all cover it yet nor has Tim Tracker so I wonder if it’s not open yet. Or maybe their operating hours are wonky.
If hasn’t opened yet! hopefully soon 🤞
How is the food and decor at the flying fish?😊😊😊😊
Food and atmosphere are some of the best at Walt Disney World in our opinion 🙂
My name is Craig Dennis and how are you both doing today and me and my mom and my dad are doing fine today and how is the weather been and you both have a nice safe july 4 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Doing great Craig- it's HOT!!! Have a safe and happy 4th with the family :)
Nope. Next question. 3 visits. 1 very good. 2 really disappointing. Not even in top tier for us
Oh man that stinks, we've always lucked out here. What's in your top 5 ?
@@ThemeParkFoodies Yes it can be luck of the draw but in some plces the odds are stacked in your favour. We do love the interior decor of FF though - the water bubble chandaliers are stunning. Top 5 in no particular order. Cali Grill. Sanaa. Olivias - that buttermilk chicken wow.! Brown Derby & always have a soft spot for Raglan Road. 👍
@@ThemeParkFoodies And thank you for the review btw. Always honest and informative
@@johnandmaz Love all those choices as well!!! Olivias chicken is next level and love the Cobb and grapefruit cake at Brown Derby.
Hello TPF's WOW, this restaurant looks beautiful! Can't wait to try this one. The bisque looks lovely. Thanks for another great review and for the Cake Shop update. You guys make my day ❤
We highly recommend Flying Fish. Always consistent, exemplary service and great food. The bisque may be my favorite soup ever. I ordered it on a 100 degree day 😆. Thank you for your support! You make ours 🙂.
So happy to hear you liked it. It’s one of my favorites too. I will miss the Cocoa Breach as well. 🥲. Had no idea it was named after a coaster… very cool. Can’t wait to hear the final rankings!!!!
I am holding out hope the pastry chef brings back the Cocoa Breach! We're having trouble getting a Narcoossee's reservation that aligns with our schedule but hopefully we'll finish this series soon!!
