"Our TouringPlans subscription was a lifesaver on our trip. One of the busiest days of the year, and we never waited longer than 20 minutes!"
- Smith Family, KY
Location
Magic Kingdom in Main Street, U.S.A., where Main Street meets Adventureland.
Selections
Prime rib, fried chicken, vegetarian selections
Summary
The restaurant continues to have trouble maintaining its food quality. The crispy fried chicken is greasy, and the prime rib is tough and overcooked. The best of the bunch might be the plant-based Southern Fried Cauliflower, but the value here is horrible if you're just going to chow down on albino broccoli.
Reader ratings for Crystal Palace have dropped significantly. We recommend the similarly priced Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary or Garden Grill at EPCOT instead.
Setting and Atmosphere
A lunch visit to The Crystal Palace surrounds you with cool sunlight and decorative plants. The restaurant’s white steel supports, arched ceilings, and glass roof (especially the atrium) are tributes to its namesake, built to house London’s 1851 Great Exhibition—the first world’s fair — and among the first structures to use plate glass in large quantities. Because of all the windows, the setting is less distinctive for dinner after dark.
