Hollywood & Vine

This was a disappointing meal. I’ve dined at CRT and BOG (numerous times) so I get overpaying for the experience but this experience was hardly an experience. Characters skipped our table (we were there for the full suggested hour) the food was warm, but a weird variety for a buffet. the furniture was cheap and old and the chair and table would skid around on the carpet if bumped slightly. The waitress was nice. But did she really earn the $ 15 dollar tip I left (18% of our bill for two adults and a toddler)? No. We only saw her three times. Once to give drinks, once to deliver a refill after she took my husband’s cup and left him drink-​less for 10 minutes, and once to pay. My son was sad he didn’t get to see handy manny and the cramped table arrangement made it hard to keep an eye on kids who want to dance in the aisles during performances. Would not suggest going.

Amazing breakfast!!! It is a great traditional breakfast with options and the good ol’ omelette station. You will spend $ 30 for an adult and $ 16 for a kid over 3 but again it’s worth it. The character interaction was great and the staff was amazing and wonderful with the children. More then I can say for the princess breakfast in Norway at Akershus where they were all uppity and had no care for making it a great experience for your kid. Hands down Hollywood and Vine is great for breakfast and they are not rushing you out the door.

Extremely overpriced for the low quality of food and Dennys-​like décor’.
The waitstaff was good but almost $ 200 for a lunch for 3 adults and 2 kids with a few characters and terrible food is no value in my book. There are quite a few dessert choices which all look good, but taste meh.
The restrooms were very dirty as well. This was by far the biggest disappointment of my entire Disney visit.

Sorry, but corn out of a can, overdressed salad and so-​so shrimp Mac and cheese were disappointing. Carved turkey and dessert station were good though. The characters were engaging and the kids had a good time. But for close to $ 50.00 per person, not worth the price.

If you have little ones that are Disney character fans, this is definitely a spot that you need to take them to. Breakfast is a buffet — which is really good. Food is fresh and there’s a great selection of healthy and less than healthy items (and everything in between).
The characters wander around to take pictures with the kids, dance with them and there’s some live entertainment thrown in for good measure.
Kids will have a blast and you’ll have some good food.

Our absolute favorite place to get breakfast at disney. The buffet is delicious and the characters and songs are entertaining for the kids in our party.

Wonderful buffet at Disney Hollywood Studio park. We had reservations for 6 @ 11:15 am. Got there on time with table waiting. Many characters that come to your table for pics. Buffet had a lot of variety & service was quick. I’ll go back here again. Open space where you don’t feel the crowds.

Being a cast member of WDW, I personally have always wanted to eat at Hollywood & Vine bc I love the characters there that they have for dinner; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy.
The food and dessert they offered I thought was amazing! I believe the offerings change ever so often but being an adventurous eater, it definitely satisfied my palette. My friend who is a pickier eater even thought it was delicious as well.
The character interactions were awesome, but it also depends on your energy, they feed off of that. With the price being $ 50 per adult, it was definitely a little expensive but still so much fun!

This is a very good buffet. The food is fresh and very tasty. The service was excellent, thank you Joan, you were great. Character dining with Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck, Goofy and
Daisy duck. Fun fun fun…
If you are going to eat at Hollywood Studios, eat here. You will want to get a reservation.

One of the best character meals at Disney. All the stars of Hollywood studios are here. Doc, Sofia, Handy Manny, and Jake walk around and greet the tables several times.
If you can time your visit to be between breakfast and lunch you can taste both cuisines.
The chocolate fountain was a huge hit with my daughter.
They also sing and dance with the kids every fifteen minutes at the front of the restaurant.

I picked Hollywood and Vine because it had the most options available for food. I’m not much of a buffet lover at all, but with my parents with us, I wanted to make sure they had the most options.
The offerings were better than basic. They had lobster Mac and cheese, tilapia, three types of chicken, meatballs with BBQ and cheese on it, beef stew, veggies, and kids food like chicken nuggets. Their dessert offerings were huge.
This was a character dining. I had no idea who these characters were. This is good for those with pre. schoolers or kindergarteners. We felt a little bit out of place.
All in all, it was not bad. Food was better than we thought, but still just okay. We had fun pretending we were little kiddos again taking pics with the characters even though we were clueless to their names :-)!

Very good buffet for Disney and very convenient. I would recommend eating here as one of my top restaurants while at the park. The salads and flank steak were good. My son loved the pretzel bread and Mac and cheese– the kids low buffet was a good touch. Food was good and the deserts were even better. Characters do a good job of going around the restaurant to everyone. Food and cost was more of a 3 but overall experience and for Disney I give it a 4. Can’t go wrong here with all the choices.

We went to the Minnie’s Holliday meal. Very nice. The characters stop by multiple times during your meal. My son who normally is not that excited about the character like it very much.

I seriously had my doubts being that this place was a buffet restaurant in an amusement park. I was the one amused though, being that they had the best mussels I’ve ever had, shrimp cocktail, an amazing salmon, skirt steak, chicken, lobster and shrimp Mac and cheese, Asiago chicken… to name a few! For kids, they have chicken nuggets, regular Mac and cheese, tarot tots, broccoli, and a few more. By far the best food in all of Disney that we’ve had so far! Great job guys!

Some of the best food Ive had at Disney… and it’s a buffet… and I came for lunch. Highly recommend.
No idea on cost (wife booked it) but that’s probably for the better.
Lobster Mac and cheese, salmon, great salad, great veggies, chocolate fountain desert bar, etc. and Disney Jr. Characters.
Oh, bill just came …$ 163 for two adults, two kids, one beer… before tip. That’s friggin’ ridiculous. It was good… but not THAT good.

Another mediocre disney buffet, but if you have a disney junior lover then lunch here is a must when visiting Hollywood Studios.
We were greeted by Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, Jake the Pirate and poor Handy Manny who wasn’t our biggest fan after my husband referred to him as Bob the Builder. Oops. They each spent a few minutes at our table giving autographs, hugs and hi fives to my very excited 4 yr old and skeptical 2 yr old.
Several times throughout the meal the characters would sing songs and dance with all the kids in the restaurant. Even my skeptical 2 yr old started to enjoy himself.
Dessert is slightly better than the main buffer. The chocolate fountain was especially a big hit among my littles and I appreciated from a sanitation standpoint that they dipped everything (pretzels, marshmallows, etc) in the chocolate for the kids.
Highly recommend if your child is a fan of any of the characters mentioned above. It also saved us a significant amount of time of not having to meet all those characters throughout the park.

Very nice character dining experience!
The food is delicious, the staff is very nice and fun!

We had reservations for an early dinner during Star Wars weekends at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Normally other characters are at this restaurant for dinner, but this event weekend Mickey, Minnie, Donald Duck and Goofy were dressed as Star Wars characters.
The dinner was buffet style and it was the best buffet we had at Disney. The food options were great with salad options, several meats and veggies. Continuing with the Star Wars theme some of the dishes were given names to reflect characters and other aspects of the movies. The meatballs and ranch chicken were the highlights for me. Very tasty, all items were fresh and food served at expected temperatures. The dessert bar had mini versions of the promoted Star Wars cupcakes served in larger forms elsewhere in the park. I tried the Jabba the Hut cupcake, the Darth Vader cupcake and the Stormtrooper tart with a candied Donald Duck as a Storm Trooper.
When your table was called you had to line up for a photo with Mickey as a Jedi, photos taken by Disney photographers and with your own device if wanted. The other characters circulated in a set pattern around to each table.
On the tables were paper light sabers for the diners. A great example of Disney service took place at the table next to us. The couple and a son around the age of 6 were toying with the paper light sabers. The son wanted to put to of the red ones together to create one like Darth Maul would use. The father couldn’t make it work with the rubber bands provided. The server noticed what was going on and offered to help. He took the two red paper sabers to the back and returned a double ended light saber to the child that he had taped together to achieve the desired result. It was cool to witness that level of service.
I would return to this restaurant for another meal.

I loved my experience here during Star Wars weekend! The names of the food were themed and the desserts looked so great.
–2 stars for:
Our service was amazing until the last 10 minutes or so. I guess we over stayed our welcome because when I asked for coffee after grabbing some dessert. Our waitress got incredibly crabby. When she brought us our coffee I smiled and said thank you and she said you’re welcome in the most forced irritated voice. Although it was only the last bit of the visit, it kind of messed up the whole experience.
Other than that small mishap, we had a wonderful time. Truly enjoyed the characters roaming the restaurant.

My husband and I both agreed that this was the best lunch buffet we’ve ever had, but the price was shocking. We ate here for lunch to get VIP tickets to Fantasmic. I wouldn’t spend the money to do it again, (especially since I wasn’t super impressed with Fantasmic) but cost aside, the food was outstanding.
Special thanks to the guy who made my husband a big gluten-​free brownie, then put a bunch of beautiful raspberries and blueberries on top of it, so he could have dessert. That meant a ton to him.
Even though they were busy, no one ever rushed us to be done, which I also appreciated because my son really needed the down time to sit in AC. It was 60 degrees warmer in Florida than back at home, and my poor child was melting. The great food and service, plus the little shows and characters running around, helped him recharge.
P.S.
Be careful with those little chocolate mousse desserts. They are dangerously addictive. I was trying to be good, but every time I walked by I found myself grabbing one of those evil little buggers.
