YES!!!
I love Fazoli's! When I lived in Michigan I got takeout from there alot. Awesome pizza, pasta and the BREADSTICKS! *drool*
It's been a few years since I've last eaten at a Fazoli's though as we don't have them here in Tampa (crazy, huh?). Closest one is about a half hour or so away in Lakeland.
As for WDW, I don't think I've really had a bad meal experience there. I do remember getting sick after eating a Dole Whip one time, but that was my own stupidity for not having eaten anything and being in the hot sun all day. Oh wait... I remember I got pizza in Future World at Epcot once at it was awful. The sauce was way too sweet for my liking and the peperroni was so greasy. After 2 bites I tossed the rest.
As for food I like at WDW...
MK: I've always enjoyed the burgers at Pinocchio Village Haus and the chicken caesar salad at Cosmic Ray's was pretty good too. And of course the Crystal Palace. Great buffet and I love visiting with Tigger several times.
Epcot: I love the fish & Chips at the Rose & Crown counter service restaurant. In the main Rose & Crown pub/restaurant, I like the Ploughman's Lunch alot.
MGM: Only sit-down restaurant I've been to there is the 50's Ptimetime Cafe. I had the BIGGEST ham sandwich I had ever seen in my life for lunch. Was really good. My friend had a salad and said that was really good too. Great and extremely fast service (we got our food maybe 10 minutes after our oder was placed... and it was BUSY that day).
AK: Never been there soI don't really know what's good/bad there.
Downtown Disney: Every time I've eaten at Planet Hollywood, the food was decent. Service can vary. Last time I went, a server had an accident and spilled water that landed partially on my friend's back. We both just laughed it off as it was actually pretty funny. A little later a manager came by to apologize profusively and offered us a free appetizer of choice to make amends.
Rainforest Cafe... I've eaten there twice and both times the food was good. Service is a little slow at times though. Funny thing was the last time ate there, I was with my parents, who were down on vacation (I drove up to meet them for dinner). I was wearing a t-shirt with my friend's old band logo on it. As soon as we were shown to our table, this server came by and said, "Hi! I'm not your server, but I noticed your shirt...." Ended up there was another band with the same name in New York and he asked me if it was that same band. I said "No... this band is just a bunch of nobodys from Tampa." :lol:
Right now, my fave place to eat at Downtown Disney is Earl of Sandwich. Great food and very reasonably priced. I love their Hawaiian BBQ! It's busy and seating is a bit limited, but that's what benches are for! :animwink:
