Our first experience at Trails End was in 2007 and we were not impressed. We decided to give it a try again and were pleasantly surprised. The service with drink refills was excellent the food was great with plenty to chose from. The fried chicken was amazing and so were the deserts. We will not hesitate to go back.

We had the Breakfast Buffet and it was all good. I really enjoyed the Moonshine drink, tasted a lot like the Boma Juice at the AK breakfast, which we enjoy too. Cinnamon rolls were tasty and my husband really enjoyed the waffles. Really it was all good. Will make this a must do when we return.

I heard a lot of wonderful things about this place. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met. We dined on a Sunday evening and the place was a ghost town.
The food was rather lukewarm. And the food wasn't clearly labeled which led to a lot of ".. what do you think this is..?" The meat, although very favorable, was covered in gross fat. Which, you know is expected but at the same time it was 80% fat..20% meat. The potato bar was rather weird.. the potatoes weren't really cooked. And the toppings for it kind of looked old. The dessert section was..well.. horrible. It consisted of left out cake and over processed ice cream. Perhaps we went on an off night.
I would try this again, maybe. A few visits from now and I'll go for lunch. Also, to get back to the resort took forever. It was either a boat ride with way too many bugs for my taste or a horrible bus ride that took about an hour and 15 min just to get to a theme park to jump on our resort bus. So, yeah, not great. But I love Disney so I'll chalk it up to being an off night.

I had dined here in March with a friend and thought it was pretty good. We wanted to see some of the decorations at the Fort, so my mom and I made reservations for 6pm on 12/19, and a friend joined us as well. Due to some transportation issues, my mom and I were almost late, but thankfully my friend was able to check us in and hold the table.
The service was just okay at best. I had some potato salad and cornbread croutons (not together!) to start, which were both very good. Fried chicken was just okay-very greasy, but macaroni and cheese was great. My batch of mashed potatoes was a bit cold and glommy, but my mom got a fresh batch and said they were good. Cornbread was delicious, as was the red velvet cake and soft serve ice cream.
While this is the cheapest dinner buffet on property (and we had a 30% off coupon), I doubt we would return again, due to below average service and food, as well as the difficulty in getting to the restaurant.

We came over to check out the Christmas lights in the campground, so ate here. Not hungry enough for the buffet, we decided on some fried chicken to go. We ordered the 2 piece all-white, and were surprised to get 2 breasts. The meal came with 2 sides-got fries & mashed potatoes. Sat at picnic table to eat. The chicken was great, the mashed potatoes very good, fries ok. Looking forward returning & getting 2 sides of mashed next time. Really enjoyed the meal & the decorations!

We ate here for supper before trying out the sleigh ride. Very disappointing! We heard lots of good things, but saw no evidence apart from our server. The buffet selections were all glommed up together (thanks to kids spooning their stuff all over everything). Meat cuts were very greasy, and the rib sauce is way too sweet and was burnt on. The smoky, sweet smell of the place made our DD physically ill. Thank goodness for the cornbread, which was awesome though!

One seerver not up to snuff

Ate one breakfast and one dinner here the first week of December. At dinner the waiter was so-so by what we have become used to at Disney and really, a 18-20 percent gratuity for a buffet? They need to hustle with the drink refills and provide a little service for that. The food at dinner was good, my wife loved the ribs, but the brisket was quite fatty.
The server at breakfast was much friendlier and worked very hard to earn her tip or maybe I'm just getting used to tipping big for serving myself.

I have only eatin the breakfast buffet here before my wife and I met so I wanted to bring her so she can enjoy it. Well everything was great except I notice something was missing and I notice that they had a smaller selection.So I asked the server what had happened and why it seemed smaller. She said that they used to have a bakery and that they done away with the bakery. Really Disney was that expensive to keep that going well it is just disappoiting. Anyway its still a place I like to eat at when I am there.

Made reservations on Mother's Day for the Trail's End Restaurant. Easy to get reservations, but overall, the menu selections are a huge disappointment. They should go back to having a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, the change to "venison chili" is not at all kid-friendly. Plus, the "stuff" tastes like a greasy, gamey glop of sloppy joe meat with beans. Try explaining to your kids that it's OK to eat Bambi, and wait for the panic to set in!! Huge mistake - Go back to all beef items, including chili. Disney does not need to "cut corners" so severely, and I hate to break it to them, but venison isn't "trendy"..it's "just got back from huntin' country".

Had a walk up reservation lunch in May 2012. Ed was our server and he was great. My wife had the burger which was huge, she loved the sweet potato fries. I had the Cheese grits with shrimp and Italian sausage. It was delicious. Only small complaint was I could have done with some chips or a biscuit to go with it.

My husband, adult daughter, 15 month old granddaughter and I ate here on April 13th. The restaurants rustic atmosphere is wonderful. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The BBQ ribs are excellent, as is the chicken. The brisket was a little fatty, but tasty. There is enough variety to satisfy almost any appetite. Our granddaughter especially liked the round pasta with Alfredo. I personally do not like the metal plates, but no one else in my family seem to care.

We ate breakfast here two days while on Spring Break, we did not have reservations, however both days we got a good table right away. The buffet has a large selection of fresh & delicious food. The county eggs Benedict is amazing. Great value for the price, both days we stayed full and did not require a big lunch. Not to be missed!

Best dinner buffet at WDW by far, good service too
|
|
Cons:

Getting there can is the hard part, bring bug spray since you have to wait outside to be seated
|

I don't know why but the two best buffet's at Disney World are the hardest to get to (Boma and Trail's End). As for Trail's End, I can't complain at all about the food or service. The food was all good at the dinner buffet. I wish the people running Chef Mickey's, Crystal Palace, and Hollywood and Vine would eat there so they can see how a buffet restaurant should be run. Everything was good there and Trail's End was a big surprise!
Getting there however was another story. I highly recommend taking the ferry as that would be the easiest if you are at MK or Wilderness Lodge. If you take the bus then you also have to get on a resort bus to get to the area where the restaurant is. It doesn't take long to wait for the bus but just remember that if you have reservations for a certain time. You will need to get to the resort at least 30 minutes before your reservation time to wait for the bus just to get there. If you drive you will have to park your car and then take a bus to the restaurant.

Made last minute reservations here last night (3/15) for myself and a friend. Despite the extensive amount of transfers it took to get here, we thought it was worth it, and arrived right on time for our 7:20pm ADR.
All of the staff we encountered were very friendly. Upon being seated at our table in the center of the restaurant, we made our first trip up to the buffet. I started with a salad complete with cornbread croutons. The salad was delicious, and the croutons were fine on their own, but I didn't like them with the salad-too sweet.
For my entree plate, I had some fried chicken (good), mashed potatoes (heavenly), honey glazed carrots (very good), and chili with cheese and sour cream (too spicy).
For dessert, I got some twist soft serve from the ice cream bar, with chocolate sauce, cookie crumbles, and M&Ms.
I got another plate of desserts with apple cobbler (very good), red velvet cake (delicious), sugar cookie (hard and bland) and a pecan bar (too overcooked).
Overall, we really liked the dinner and would go again.
