Family Style breakfast. Everyone was SO NICE. Also very attentive to some gluten allergies at our table. My favorite part of the meal was the cheesy potatoes...after the Mickey shaped waffles of course

Perfect spot for a quick bite at Ft. Wilderness campground. Seating is limited, so visit at off peak times. There are pizza options, a grab n go station with sandwiches, salads, and small cheese and veggie trays, as well as family packs and deserts. The drink station is limited - an old style fountain drink machine with few options --- coke, diet coke, cherry coke, sprite...There is also sweet and unsweetened tea available. We sampled the skillet, pulled pork sandwich, kids chicken fingers, and kids smoked chicken drumstick meal. If you're not a huge eater, a kids meal is just the right size, a little more budget friendly. Nearby is the boat dock, a small play area, and the outpost.

Tried Trails End for the first time and WAS NOT DISSAPOINTED! The theming is one of the best I've seen. Food was insane (prime rib and the pork were out of this world). Characters were all really fun and unique.. the ambiance is very cool as well. Service was excellent.. its a shared app (plenty to share) and shared dessert. They had non dairy options that they brought out just for me. Plenty of kids options, food was well themed.. I just can't say enough!

This is a pretty fast service restaurant that will bring your food to your table after ordering. You can order at the check out or do a mobile order. There are some nice views of Bay Lake from inside the restaurant and there is an arcade and bar there, too. The food here is not as expensive and is closer to counter service food and pricing. They have a nice covered deck outside to shield you from the Sun and so you can enjoy the views.

It is all the things. Welcomed like family when you walk in, everyone is so helpful and friendly. The food is delicious. Had breakfast and dinner as well as drinks and everything was on point! Even our picky eater loved it. So nice to have a front & side porch to sit on and rock as well as watch some fireworks from Magic Kingdom ( cannot see all but enough). Just enjoy the experience here.

5 Stars – A Rootin’-Tootin’ Breakfast Bonanza! If you’re looking to start your Disney day with a belly full of joy and bacon, Trail’s End Restaurant delivers the kind of breakfast dreams are made of! Let’s talk about the scrambled eggs—fluffy, golden, and clearly made by someone who understands the difference between “breakfast” and “brilliance.” The bacon? Crispy perfection. Not that sad, floppy kind you politely nibble at—this was bold, flavorful, and downright celebratory. Then came the tater tots—glorious little golden nuggets of potato happiness. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and dangerously easy to devour by the dozen. And the waffle? A thick, warm, syrup-soaking masterpiece that walked the line between sweet treat and hearty fuel for the fun-filled day ahead. The service was friendly, the coffee was hot, and the atmosphere was cozy with a touch of rustic Disney charm. It’s the kind of breakfast that makes you want to tip your hat, pat your stomach, and say, “Yeehaw, that hit the spot!” I’ll be dreaming of those tots until next time. Trail’s End, you’ve won my morning heart.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Trail's End Restaurant for three consecutive nights, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we stepped foot into the restaurant, we were captivated by the warm and inviting atmosphere. The highlight of our dining experience at Trail's End was undoubtedly the fried chicken. We couldn't resist ordering it every night, and it never failed to impress. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside, with a tender and juicy interior. The flavors were simply mouthwatering, leaving us wanting more with each bite. We were thoroughly impressed by the chef's skill in preparing such a delicious dish. Despite the restaurant being busy during the New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, the staff at Trail's End were friendly, attentive, and helpful. They ensured that our dining experience was enjoyable and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Their warm and welcoming approach added to the overall positive ambiance of the restaurant. Speaking of ambiance, Trail's End Restaurant is a beautiful establishment. The attention to detail in the decor and layout created a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The combination of rustic elements and modern touches added to the overall charm of the space. It truly enhanced our dining experience and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Trail's End Restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. The delicious and crispy fried chicken alone is worth a visit, but the overall ambiance and exceptional service take it to another level. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a memorable meal with your loved ones, Trail's End is the place to go. Kudos to the staff and management at Trail's End for creating such a wonderful dining experience. We are grateful for the memories we made at your restaurant and look forward to returning in the future.

For a quick service restaurant, this one was one of the best. The food was excellent and the prices seemed to be on par with any other restaurant these days. The servings were very generous. Even though the person taking our order missed a couple of things they were quickly rectified by the staff and the proper order was promptly brought out to the table.
