Does anyone know if they take Disney GC and if they are really expensive, good food, whatever you know about them?

We went to Spoodles last year. I am pretty sure they take the GC. We were not impressed at all. DH has taken to calling it Poodles because he really thought the food was bad.

BUT other people love it...everybody has an opinion!

I love Spoodles....Last time I ate there it was wonderful (12/06). I was on the DDP so, I really did not look at the pricing. Here's a link to Deb Will's Menu: http://www.allearsnet.com/menu/menu_spd.htm I'm sure you'll like it (try the flat breads!!)
My friend just got back and had a family reunion (grand gathering) for 15 people and they stayed at the Boardwalk and ate there on their 1st night...she also said it was "most delicious"!

I also really enjoy the Flying Fish on the Boardwalk, one of my favorites!

WEll, I'm a little disspointed in the menu. I don't eat beef or mushrooms, so that cuts out a few dishes, and the shrimp may be the only thing to order. Will have to think on this. Are there other restarants on the boardwalk anyone can recommend. We are stayin at the Swan so that would be just a short little walk for us over there. The drinks look really good though...hmmmm.

We love Spoodles! First the Sangira's are just wonderful. The calamari is perfect, cooked just right! I usually just get the shrimp pasta. We eat there everytime we visit. It is Dh's favorite. We go sometimes just for the drinks and appetizers. There is also the ESPN resteraunt and bar. The food to me was comparable to say Chili's or something like that. Not really sure on any others.

I hope it's good...just made an ADR last night for our first night there....other dinning options that I wanted were not available at this late date (Oct 27). We are staying at the BCV, so it was the closest option available without having to get in the car! I did ask if they took the DDE card and they do, so I would say that they do take the DGC, we had no problem using a DGC at any of the restaurants we went to on our last trip. :)

If you guys care to wade through my dining reviews that I posted in the sticky, I did a review of our dinner at Spoodles in May.:angel:

If I went again I would focus on appetizers and drinks. The dips with pita were excellent, those are a "must have" in my book.

HTH :)

I should get a kickback from Spoodles then if my review actually sent someone there! :rotfl:

Yeah, the sangria and the apps are the best part. I hope you enjoy it! :)

We prefer the breakfast they serve there. Didn't really care for the lunch or dinner menu.

I love the dips at Spoodles! The appetizer is enough for a meal. Another thing that is great about dinner at Spoodles is that you get to experience the Boardwalk at night. It is so beautiful!!

I was really intrested in trying out spoodles for this septembers trip, but once i found out about the menue changes and that they had removed the beef tenderloin from the menue and replaced it with Oak-fired Steak Kabobs - with multigrain pilaf, balsamic red onions and harissa $22.99 for which the revews and photos i have seen was not to my likeing the rest of the menue lost most of its appeal too me and my family, Did want to try the dips out thou!

I'm mainly going for the appetizers and sangria since I don't eat beef anyway, neither of those would have attracted me. I will give a full report on our meal.

Well as long as the menu has items you want to try i think it would be a great place to eat!

I can not wait to here your thoughts!

Bryan, when we were there in May, my Dh ordered this and it was really great. Super tender and very flavorful. We had eaten there before the menu change also. He really enjoyed the meal. He is usually a very plain guy when it comes to food, but this is one of a few resteraunts he specifically ask me to make ressies for everytime. He is not much of an adventerous eater. But I have to say I enjoy all the appy's and Sangria. I could make a meal out of the pita and dip and the calamari. Of course after a pitcher of Sangria's :rotfl:

Yes, I would love to try it however i am not the only one going, and my younger brother and sister like to eat their food plain! very bland! So when planing the meals i need places that offer the great meals and flavor for me but can be simply made plain for the kids! Examples, Chicken wings, the have them every where for appys but they get them plain, no sause nothing on them at all just fried and put on a plate! I and everyone else likes them how the come!, or the stakes, I enjoy my meal how it is, the kids need to have fries, and no sause on the stake, and on two difrent plates so the stake juice does not get on the fries! I know this may sound strange, but they are getting less pickey about what they eat kinda and trying more and more spices, and flavor! Back to spoodles, the new oak fired kabobs sound very very flavorful, and i know i most likley would like to at least try time, however they do sound a little too flavorful for the kids taste for now!

I have I son who is extremely picky, and his food can't touch either. :)
He is a mac and cheese kinda kid! I know how hard it can be to please everyone all the time. Especially children!

Thanks, It can be hard, at least they eat more than just chicken strips! They would not eat mac and cheese because of the cheese sause, they only like plain noodles too! lol Very Strange! They really enjoy beef tenderloin, warm plain shrimp, and so on! as long as its how they want it plain and not touching they will eat!

Sounds like my father. He eats everything plain. It is so hard to go out and eat with them. For our last couple of trips, I have had a very, very hard time coming up with enough of places that he could find something to eat. :( We seem to end up eating at the same couple of places and I always want to try something new. I did get him to try and couple of "new" places and guess what he like them. Buffets tend to be better for us. It is really sad when my kids will eat more - different foods than he will. Before Disney started with their new healthier menus, we were down there with my DD. It was May and she wanted cream of broccoli soup. Good Luck.

i am not a big fan of the buffets, since its free dinning, I was paying oop, you bet the buggets would be at the top of the list, i think the we are onlying doing a few buffets, with several fixed menu places, and then the rest is alacart which is the best vaule! I have found that aksing the waiters to accomated such requests is very simple, and have always had great service, expect one waiter at the coral reeff brought out Fried rice insted of French Fries dont know how he mixed them up, but he quickly brought out the correct side. Even at counter service i have found that just like at McDonalds they can make it your way! at disney world.

I am glad that you DD has a great taste for new foods and more flavorful foods. :sunshine:
