Of all the Disney World parks, EPCOT is basically synonymous with destination dining! But let’s be real: some restaurants in this food-filled park are more destination-worthy than others — as evidenced by the Yelp reviews.

While many EPCOT restaurants have their diehard fans, certain Table Service locations are especially adored, and Yelp is here to remind us why! 

As much as we LOVE a good food festival here, Table Service dining in EPCOT is a requisite pastime for enjoying some of the best eats in ALL of Disney World. With so many quality spots to choose from, we were SUPER curious what Yelp would have to say about the best of the best!

So let’s get right to it and look at the TOP three Table Service restaurants in EPCOT according to Yelp!

Number 3: La Hacienda de San Angel

Buckle up, because the top rated restaurants on Yelp are a WILD ride. Most of the top Table Service restaurants are QUITE unexpected, starting with La Hacienda de San Angel clocking in at number three. Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE us some La Hacienda de San Angel, and Yelp seems to agree!

“The fondue appetizer is the bomb,” says JC C., adding that the restaurant’s excellent food is matched by amazing views of the lagoon and the Harmonious show. Erica S. is another fan of the queso, and ditto the margarita flight, plantains, and seafood platter. “The seafood was really well cooked for each individual item,” she notes.

Even for longtime Disney World fans like Leonard H., La Hacienda de San Angel brings the wow factor. “I have been to Disney World almost 50 times. Never have I been to this restaurant. Omg that’s been shown to be a huge mistake.” He says the food and service are on par with Le Cellier, and the desserts and fireworks views are incredible as well.

Number 2: Space 220

For a brand new restaurant, albeit a SUPER buzzy one, it’s impressive that Space 220 is ALREADY the second most highly rated restaurant in EPCOT! Clearly, there’s a LOT to love about this place.

According to Steve S., food and service are excellent, but the real five-star experience comes from the ambience, designed to transport guests 220 miles up into space, where apparently they serve stellar calamari. No puns intended, Liz G. calls it an “out of this world experience” that’s totally worth the price. “The food is exceptional with amazing service. Portions are appropriately sized and the staff remains in character at all times to enhance your experience.”

It’s the fully immersive experience, coupled with quality food and drinks, that really sell it for Yelpers like Bill M.: “We were surprisingly impressed with the whole experience,” he says. “The ambience of the place was very soothing. We really felt disconnected and relaxed.”

Number 1: Biergarten Restaurant

Are you ready for the strangest drum roll EVER? Apparently, Yelp says the number one Table Service restaurant in EPCOT is…Biergarten Restaurant?! Okay! Nothing against this fun, buffet-style restaurant in the Germany Pavilion, but when you consider the lack of Rose & Crown or Le Cellier or Chefs de France, it’s pretty surprising!

But when you think about it, the family-style vibe and festive entertainment and decor are all VERY crowd-pleasing, which might explain its Yelp loyalists! And who are we to quibble with the deliciousness of Apple Strudel and Schnitzel! Michael K. has a lot to rave about: “My expectations were exceeded and we had a great time and meal,” he says, adding that the buffet is a great value for ALL the choices, the German beers are great, the service is attentive, and the live German music is so much fun that he sat through it twice!

“I had no idea what to expect going to Biergarten but this may be one of my new favorite places on Disney property,” proclaims Maddie H., who loves the fun atmosphere and the diverse array of food options for both herbivores and carnivores. “Seriously just come here you won’t regret it.” ‘Nuff said!

Sure, the absence of some of EPCOT’s heavy-hitter restaurants is a bit puzzling, but clearly the park is filled with ALL manner of epic dining experiences, from festive buffets to “out of this world” eats!
