The Good Turn Restaurant (long gone now Garden Grill Character buffet) had a seafood pizza that was outstanding.

The ribs and chicken combo at Cosmic Rays
The LTT with characters, the pilgrim platter is still there but the characters really made the meal for us.

Perhaps, but time and place and atmosphere and nostalgia.

My son worked at Pecos Bill's when he was in the Disney College Program. He told me they downgraded the fixin's bar because of abuse. Apparently people would come in to the restaurant, grab a seat, open up their backpack and pull out a bag of tortilla chips. Then they would proceed to make a very nice nacho plate using the fixin's bar. Quite a money saver for those folks.
I miss Figaro Fries from Pinocchio's. So bad for you, but so good. Especially enjoyable when sitting at the window seats overlooking the Small World ride. My kids loved waving at the riders (and loved smearing that window up with their greasy fingers and faces).
The Plaza restaurant has Plaza Loaded Fries. Close, but not quite the same.

Yup, that's precisely what happened. There was just soooo much there for the, err, taking. I do believe they even had guacamole.

Rose & Crown used to have a classic Sherry Trifle dessert that was the best thing I ever tasted, and I still mourn it to this day.
Also, call me silly, but part of me still misses the McDonald's tie in with Dinosaur and Restaurantosaurus, with the classic fries and chicken mcnuggets and Happy Meals.

That is great!!! It has been gone for several years. It is one of my favorites there. Last time we dined the, they said it was permanently off the menu.

Lots of issues moving around in there for the characters though. The layout of LTT is pretty tight.

The entirety of the Luau before they added the story element. The food was incredible. It's changed into boring food you could get anywhere now. In fact I miss the old show too.

The 1/2 rack of ribs at the Flame Tree was plenty of food. Now it's the full rack or nothing. Don't get me wrong - I'll still buy the full rack. But I'll feel guilty for slamming that much food . . . . .

To be fair, that milkshake could kill a man lol...I'm surprised it didn't come with an FDA warning and a complimentary glow in the dark defibrillator.

I miss the OLD Mickey ice cream bars!
The ones in the parks today are good but are annoying the chocolate casing crack and falls off so easily!

No doubt in my mind there are two dishes I miss:
#1: the best dish I’ve ever had at WDW far and away: the Fettuccine Alfredo from L’Oringinale Alfredo di Roma at the Italy’s pavilion in EPCOT. This was the best pasta I’ve ever had and I miss it more than words can describe.
#2: the REAL chicken tenders from Columbia Harbor House. Thanks to a bunch of health nuts Disney was forced to remove all trans fats from their food. This drastically changed the chicken fingers at Harbor House and I’m still salty about it.

Seconding the Fettuccine Alfredo from the old Italy restaurant.
Also, digging deep, back in the early 90's they had this drink at the Grand Floridian called a Purple Penguin. I was probably 11-12 when I got it. I have no idea what was in it except it was bright purple, sickeningly sweet and fizzy and I had to beg my parents to let me get it. But it was gone the next time I looked for it a few years later. Its very possible if I tasted it now I would find it disgusting. But for a kid looking for something sweet it was perfect and its been ingrained in my memory since.
