Mushroom and Swiss Cheeseburger - Really good burger, and I'm not even a big burger fan. I ate it up with fries.
Strawberry cheesecake - Really good taste, not overwhelmingly cheesy or fruity, nice balance.

Our party of 6 ate here on 3/21. It was cool that morning but by midafternoon had warned up nicely. I was able to secure a table outside under the canopy while DH stood in line for food. We all ordered the bacon cheeseburgers. Everything was good. My only complaint is that we were on the dining plan and had to get desserts. We sampled them, usually not eating the whole thing so it was a waste. On the other hand by DD4 didn't get a dessert with the kids meal and always asked for one. So she usually ended up sharing ours. We are here in 06 and weren't planning on eating here again except it ended up being where we were at when we decided to get lunch.

Party of 5 (me, DD15, DD14, DS12, and DD10) dined here for lunch during Mardi Gras break. We eat here every trip because it offered free drink refills. The park was crowded because of the holiday and there was a cheerleading competition. Lines to order were long, but moved quickly. Food came out quickly and we found a table upstairs. I wanted something different so I ordered the chilled chicken wrap on the kids menu, oldest 2 DDs had burgers, and 2 youngest kids had chicken nuggets. Everyone enjoyed their food and enjoyed being able to refill our drinks before leaving the restaurant. We really enjoyed it and will come back again.

Visited late January. I ordered the bacon cheese burger comes with lettuce, tomato, pickle and onions. Was nice to be able to have grapes as a side instead of French fries. The burgers have improved over the years. I guess Disney has been listening.

We enjoyed lunch here in January. Our burgers were good, the refillable drinks and cheesecake desert made the stop worth it, though. Would stop again for these reasons.

We dined here in January 2013. Kids got chicken fingers which were good, but our burgers were just so-so. Served the purpose of grabbing a quick bite to eat in Epcot, but I don't ever have to go back here. I'd rather cross into World Showcase and grab a burger in the American pavilion.

You have all kind of food here. From fries to salad. The rotisserie chicken is very good and tender. If you are not on the dining plan, an adult plate can be share between two kids, the portion are large enough.

We ate here on January 7, 2013. We have eaten here before and been less than pleased, but we decided to try it again because we were hungry, tired and very thirsty and wanted to take advantage of the the refills available on soda. We were very pleased that when we arrived, there was a cast member greeting people, handing out menus and sending people to the ordering stations. That seems to be a new policy at all quick service restaurants and it certainly makes it run more efficiently. We had sufficient time to look over the menu before ordering. A separate cast member was available closer to the ordering station who asked me if I had any questions about the food items. He was extremely helpful in answering my questions about the new items and the side dishes that came with them. We ordered 2 bacon mushroom burgers with fries and one bacon cheeseburger with fries. Even though this time we did not order them, it's nice to see healthier sides available. I did notice that the drink cups are smaller than the "large" size you would get in a non-refillable quick service. I suppose this because they know you can get as many refills as you want. Also nice is that you can choose to get a drink with no ice. My son doesn't like ice in his drinks so he really enjoyed this feature. My husband and son waited for our food while I went searching for a table. It was very cold outside so we wanted to sit indoors. No such luck. The second floor was not open and there was not nearly enough seating on the 1st floor to accommodate the lunch crowds so we ended up eating at an outdoor table. Let me tell you, if you eat outdoors watch out for the birds! They are everywhere and very aggressive. I was speaking to my husband and made the mistake of lifting a french fry up as I was making a point. This very large crow came swooping down out of the sky and grabbed the fry right out of my hand! I could feel his wings brush my face as he flew at me. I handled it well and laughed, but I can imagine a small child being terrified. The food itself was hot when it arrived, had adequate portions and was very tasty. I saw several people with the new flat bread pizzas. While they looked good, they do not come with a side item and I don't think they would be worth the money. I wouldn't make a special effort to eat here, but if you need a quick bite to eat it is a good choice.

We went in here because we needed a quick bite and it was right near where we had to go next. My husband got the mushroom & swiss burger... it was a burger with cheese, with a large onion ring on it that was filled with sauteed mushrooms inside the onion ring. He enjoyed it but it was a typical burger overall. Our friend said the same thing about the cheeseburger she got. The french fries were typical. I got the vegetable flat bread. It was ok... the flat bread part needed to be crispier and it wasn't advertised as such but it was spicy! Refillable drinks is a bonus!

This place has great options for kid meals--you get a lot of food for the price. My daughter got the mac and cheese (huge portion) which also came with fries and yogurt and chocolate milk all for $6! DH and I ordered kids chicken wraps which were delicious! Great place for lunch with kids.

We got to the Electric Umbrella just moments after they opened for the day and many of the tables were sticky, which means they had never been wiped down the night before. Luckily I carry wet-ones and we were able to wipe it down quickly.
Our food was really good. DH had a burger and I had chicken tenders. The fries were really hot and fresh.

I ate here solo on a summer afternoon while DW/DS were off doing something else. Got a corner table out of the way. Was nice to sit in the AC and surf on iPad for a bit. Good place to people watch with the wall to wall windows.
Food was normal counter service, maybe a little better. One of the few places with a soda station to refill your drink. Good place to unwind.

Good for a quick service meal. Liked the meatball sub. Wish they didn't change the salad choice. The previous salad they offered with the oranges was the best. Nice to know they make everything to order so be prepared to wait.

The Electric Umbrella is like any other counter service restaurant. They have a good enough variety of foods and there is always plenty of seating.
We went for lunch on 7/16/12 with a party of five. I had the bacon and mushroom burger which was juicy and had a nice amount of mushrooms and bacon. My aunt had the bacon cheeseburger and she liked it. The best was the meatball grinder which was packed with meatballs and not too much sauce. With all meals you get a pretty large portion of fries. We were on the dining plan so we get dessert. Dad go the cookies which were dry and not that good. The rest of us got the strawberry cheesecake which was delicious. My aunt couldn't finish it because she was so full! All in all this is a standard, if not above average, quick service restaurant.

We ate lunch here twice, once on Saturday, June 2nd and once on Wednesday, June 6th. On Saturday, June 2nd we same early (around 11:30) and the place was almost empty. DS ordered the meatball sub. It had 3 large meatballs, sauce and melted cheese on a crispy roll. It came with an order of fries. He enjoyed it very much and said it was large enough to satisfy his appetite. DH and I both ordered the mushroom Swiss burger which also came with fries. We were both pleased with our meals. For mass produced burgers, they were tasty and hot. We like the fact that you can refill your soda cups here as well and took advantage of that to pick up a refill as we were leaving the restaurant both times we visited. On our Wednesday June 6th visit, I ordered the meatball sub and agreed with my son's opinion. It was very good and big enough to satisfy. My DH repeated his mushroom Swiss burger order while my DS ordered the Angus bacon cheeseburger. DS said he liked the burger better than the meatball sub, but I thought the meatball sub was better than the mushroom Swiss burger I'd had earlier in the week. My only complaint is the noise. It rings off the glass walls! We will go back here again.
