When staying at the Wilderness Lodge an important thing is WHERE CAN I EAT? The Roaring Fork is one of my favorite Quick Services locations throughout all the resorts. It is located in the Wilderness Lodge down the ramp by the doors to the pool/boat area. This is the perfect spot to stop on your way to the Boat in the morning rush right before leaving it is on the way and worth it! I usually order the flatbread and I have not been disappointed yet. Breakfast can be a bit busier in the AM rush as all are trying to get ready for a big day in the parks! The menu is VERY child-friendly offering some nice choices for all ages. The speed is not to slow either.
It is split into 2 rooms. One side is the order and check out line and the other side is the dining area with the fountain sodas. The dining room has about 20-30 tables of 4. Spacious but not overwhelming.
The Roaring Fork exceeds my expectations each time I pay a visit. I love stopping in for a snack whether I am leaving or returning from the park. Definitely check this cute quick service joint out!
*I recommend going for lunch or dinner as it is not to crowded*
It is open from 6AM to 12 AM!

We ate here twice during our visit in July/August 2016.
During the first weekend of our vacation we headed over for a late breakfast. We all chose to have the fabulous fresh cream mickey waffles (two with fresh strawberries and the third with chocolate chips and chocolate sauce). Honestly the best counter service breakfast you can get at a resort or park.
We returned at the end of our two holiday for a dinner before heading to the Magic Kingdom.
We split a chicken sandwich, burger and wilderness salad. I have to say I couldn't have eaten the salad as a main course (which is unusual for me as I adore a good salad). It was basically a waldorf salad with grated cheese. Nice but not awesome.
Pros:
amazing for breakfast and dinner.Cons:
out of way if travelling from other resorts.Reviewed by John Review Date: 12/11/2015

The food is very good at Roaring Forks. I am so glad they brought back the Tuna Fish Sandwich. It is very good as are the burgers. The homemade chips are also very good. My wife had a salad and she said it was very good.
We got the bounty breakfast in the morning to split between my wife and me and it is very good.
Pros:
Good Food and quick serviceCons:

We only ate here for breakfast because we were in the parks day and night. I am very happy with their new system of order-pay-pick up because before our food would get cold while we were waiting to pay. This new system is much better. They open early for coffee and then serve hot food at 7 am. It would have been nice if they served hot food earlier but I guess they would not have enough sales to warrant that. Since we were eating so early we never had an issue with crowds or long waits for food. We always got it to go and ate in our DVC room. The food was fresh, prepared correctly, and served quickly. I would only ask that if you step up to the ordering station that you and everyone else in your party know what you want. Our biggest wait was being behind people who decided what they wanted while ordering. It kept everybody, including the staff, waiting.
Pros:
Good food, quick service, efficientCons:

Roaring Fork is a TINY restaurant that serves up GREAT food. We had lunch and dinner (same menu) and our family of 4 never had a bad bite. Great options for deserts (and even fruit or salad if you want to get healthy). You order and pay and they deliver your food to your table (inside or out) which is great (don't have to just stand around waiting for your order)
Really only downside is the very small and cramped size, and the horrible location of the drink fountains (both corners) which make getting soda refills very difficult and frustrating for everyone.
Highly recommend for a quality Quick Service meal!
Pros:
Sandwiches are excellent (get the chips instead of fries!), they bring your food to your tableCons:
TINY!!!! Can be a decent wait to pay. Tough to refill drinks with stations in the cornersReviewed by peytonshea02 Review Date: 06/05/2014

Our last stop on our CS tour - We went for breakfast and to check out the resort before heading home.
Can you say Mickey Waffles!!!! Oh My!
Bananas Foster Waffles, Strawberry Waffles or Chocolate Lovers Waffles - all Mickey Shaped! Seriously, where has this place been all my life?
Two orders of the most delicious Banana Foster Waffles. Heaven. The Bacon, Egg and Cheese Croissant Sandwich was the breakfast sandwich I had been searching for all week! Super soft croissant, fluffy and perfectly seasoned eggs, crispy but not too crispy bacon - and warm melted cheese. Best thing ever! We actually fell in love with this resort from the moment we stepped foot in the lobby - and the breakfast sealed the deal! Wilderness Lodge is on deck for our next family vacation!

You can't go wrong at a place that serves Mickey waffles every day. My son always got the chocolate lovers and I just got plain waffles, but they have banana foster and strawberries and cream. The lunch and dinner food is good too. The only issue is that the space is small and there are not a lot of seats available when the weather is bad and you have to stay indoors.

This is a great quick service restaurant. I think my son went down for flatbread pizza every night. The flatbread pizzas are great and they have a different chef's special pizza each night. The best part of the restaurant is the service. The guy that worked the grill area (he seemed to be there each time we went down) was especially friendly, and the other people were great as well.
Pros:
Great flatbread!Cons:

I am very impressed with the counter service options that seem to change with the season's. For this small a space the variety is awesome and the Cast Members nothing, if not pleasant and helpful.
