If ya love sports then you will be in heaven. I was there on a night during baseball season and had a great table in the middle and there was every game or sport imaginable on to watch in all directions. If you had to go to the restroom well there are tv,s in the bathrooms. My wife had Mahi Mahi that was killer and i had a have decent burger and fries. Prices were good and take some time to walk around because there is great memorabilia all over.

it is amazing there. so much fun. I have been there for several different sporting events, including sox games and the sugar bowl game. (we sat there for 8 hours just to get a good table for thegame!) the food is really good, the mahi mahi is good (exactly what the other guy said). the chicken wings are huge and delicious. tons of cool memorbilia, awsome waiting staff. they have one big huge tv, but tons of other smaller tvs with different stuff on. there is a bar there too. and the game room connected to it is pretty alright.
I think I had shrimp there once, the peel and eat kind. very good.
and the fries are really good.
go. have fun. you will. I promise.

It's an excellent restaurant. It's better at night, but busier. It's one of the best sports bars/restaurants I've ever been to. If you have a sports fan in the family, it's the place to go.
Saturday and Sundays will soon be packed. During playoffs, it's busier than normal. Super Bowl is the most crowded, followed by Bowl Games.
The food is great. I usually get the BBQ. The nachos are good as are everything else I've ever had.

The place is great. Thier food is really good and the service is fast! You're order should be ready within 5 minutes. I was always amazed how fast we got our food. If you're a sports fan and love food, this is the perfect place for you.

What I want to know is why are most of them called the ESPN Zone, but the one in WDW is the ESPN Club.

Because most others appear to be bigger than the one in WDW. From what I've seen in pictures and on tv, the one at WDW seems tiny.
I wish they would build a bigger, better ESPN Zone somewhere else and then close the club on Boardwalk.
I think ESPN Zone's also have more games (an actual game room) than just a few in the gift shop area.

That makes sense to me...the ESPN ZONES I went to were huge.

yeah, the zones are the ones with all of the games. the one in chicago has about 25 different games, and maybe 100 or so acutal games to play. (some games have more players than others, so that is a guess) it is a really cool deal.
and to confuse even more! there is an ESPN skybox on the disney cruises!
and as far as I know, that is the only ESPN club there is.

It's HarmonioUS, NOT HarmoniYOU.
yeah..the ZONE here in Chicago is huge...it also has a nice Radio Broadcast studio...I dont know if all of them do....but since WMVP ESPN Radio 1000 is right down the street....it kinda makes sense....
Games Games and more games here in the Chicago one...and the gift shop is pretty big...
And there is like a bar every 3 feet

When I went to the Zone in Washington Last week I saw something that was a little scary. The games only took dollars. Does anyone else think it is a problem when games ONLY accept dollars (and the games were like 2+ dollars to play).

overall, i hate sports...but i enjoy eating at ESPN...even though i only go when i'm completely outvoted on where to eat. i haven't tried much of their food (only ate there twice) first time, i think i got a hot dog, which was pretty good. 2nd time, i wasn't hungry for anything big, so i got a dessert...not sure what it was called, something about a hockey puck. omg! delish!! i forget exactly what the 'puck' was made out of...could've been a chocolate covered brownie or chocolate covered ice cream...i'm just not sure. anyway, on top was whipped cream and a cool little hockey stick shaped, white chocolate candy as well as a little white chocolate medallion shape with the ESPN logo on it! if you're able, you should see if they still offer that and give it a go (if you like chocolate and lots of it!)
but it's a pretty fun place to eat! i give it a thumbs up!

We love the place. I'm a big sports nut and we make sure we get over there every trip. And on the last trip, my daughter (10 months old at the time) even got into it. It was a playoff football game and everytime the crowd would cheer, she'd throw her hands in the air and yell with them!!!
Its great!!
Its great!!

We love ESPN. Were there this June for late lunch. It was pouring and the Boardwalk was empty. We had a table in the center and were able to see everything. We were planning on going shopping at Downtown Disney that night so we chose ESPN so my nephews wouldn't complain about the shopping too much. They loved the restaurant. And yes, they still have the Hockey Puck Dessert. It's basically a brownie sundae and it is awesome.

When I was on my Honeymoon my wife and I went to the ESPN zone to have a bite and watch Mark McGuire smack his record breaking home run number 62. Only one of us had a seat at the bar and we were elbow to elbow with a huge crowd. But i have to tell you I really enjoyed our meal that night. If you are into sports this is the place to eat in WDW. The food is fine but it is the atmosphere that makes it worthwhile. How can you argue with a place that has TV's in the mens room?

that is interesting, bc in chicago's zone, you buy a card with points on it, and those points are taken off like a debit card everytime you use it. I really don't remember the prices exactly, but I don't remember them being outrageous.
