I ate here in 2021 and really enjoyed it. Just ate here again in Oct 2023, and while the service was great, the food was cold and underwhelming. I had the hangar steak. Aside from being cold, it needed a sauce of some kind. Also, it was served on a bed of (cold) fries that were no different than the usual quick service fries. To be fair, the people I was with seemed to enjoy their entrees more than I enjoyed mine.
Pros:
Theming and serviceCons:

Skipper's Canteen was the only disappointment from our recent trip to Disney. We expected a Jungle Cruise theme with castmembers bringing a lot of puns and jokes. Our waiter provided ZERO of this. The theming was disappointing inside as well, as we were seated in a bland room. The food was not terrible, but it didn't really blow anybody in our group away. I had the pork dish and it was pretty decent.
Pros:
Pork dish, Cheese Bread AppetizerCons:

We had high expectations for this restaurant. Couldn't wait for the deliciously described dishes and the funny banter from the waiter. Unfortunately, we got neither. When we arrived for our reservation, we were told our wait time would be about 20 minutes since the kitchen was back. Almost an hour later, we were seated. The waiter came to take our order, but there was were no jokes..in fact he seemed to be in a hurry to just take our order and move on. My husband got the chicken dish and it was dry and bland. I got the Chicken Tenders with Marbled Potatoes off the kid's menu. Again...no flavor and the potatoes were cold. So disappointed

Bad experience
Pros:
EnvironmentCons:
Food was not good quality. The steak tasted like a soggy sock, and I could have Got better lamb chops at Applebees. Children did not like either of their food choices.Reviewed by TeacherManJoe Review Date: 05/15/2022

We visited Skipper Canteen on a recent trip and we’re excited to try it, as we had heard primarily good things.
While the theming is excellent and it was fun to basically have our own personal Jungle Cruise skipper as our waiter, we found the food to be a bit underwhelming. We LOVED the complimentary cheesy bread to start the meal. However, I got the “Tastes Like Chicken” based on several recommendations, and did not find it to be anything overly noteworthy. Tasted fine, not bad, but not as good as I was hoping.
We thought that Skipper Canteen made a case for being the best Table Service restaurant in Magic Kingdom, but also feel that that is not saying too much, as we think the pro-tip in MK is to focus on the delicious snacks and Quick Service, which as a bonus leaves more time for the massive amount of rides.
Pros:
Awesome Theming Jungle Cruise comedy brought to a meal CHEESY breadCons:
Entrees underwhelming Can take some time from park attractions, so perhaps better to choose better quality food at quick serviceReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 05/06/2022

Warning this is coming from a mildly picky eater. I spent more time looking at the menu than I did eating the food. There are a ton of options which looks good but i found myself thinking "no because it has ..." this is not the place for you if you're picky but if you love to try new things this is perfect for you.
Pros:
Beautiful dinning room (ask for the butterfly booth)Cons:

While the food was only ok, our server was good and funny, but what really made this for us was the host who sat us. While we were waiting to be called in, a senior gentleman was working the host stand. He was telling the funniest skipper/dad jokes, but he was so genuinely thrilled to be telling them, and even more thrilled people were laughing at them. He was adorable and made our day, in the way only Disney cast members can.
Pros:
Skipper jokesCons:

Although the atmosphere was nice, the food is my least favorite of all Disney restaurants I have tried
