Review - Captain Cook's at Walt Disney World

Captain Cook's is a quick service restaurant located in the Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World. You can find this restaurant and grab and go food spot on the lower level of the resort. Read on for more details and of course food photos.

The Polynesian Resort is just a short monorail or boat ride away from the Magic Kingdom making it a great place to go for a meal, especially for those looking to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the parks for awhile.

There is quite a lot of seating both inside and outside on the patio. The patio seating is next to the patio seating for Trader Sam's Grog Grotto. The theming is casually Polynesian - with lots of vintage style travel posters and wood.

Overall we were very impressed with the quality of the food for a quick service. The food was tatsy and came fresh and hot.

Bacon Cheeseburger

The Bacon Cheeseburger is a 1/3 lb grilled angus burger topped with bacon, american cheese, lettuce, tomato, and pickles on a toasted brioche bun served with french fries. This was a solid burger and the brioche bun took it up a notch.

Turkey Club Melt

The Turkey Club Melt is roasted turkey, bacon, tomato, havarti cheese, and sun-dried tomato mayonnaise on multigrain bread served with french fries This was a great sandwich. it was hot and toasty and the flavours went really well together.

Insider Tip: If you are carrying your resort refillable mug with you, this is a spot where you can re-fill it for free even if you are staying at a different resort.

The Teriyaki Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a good choice for a lighter or lower carb meal, but not in the same league as the burger and toasted club. Both those would be better picks in our opinion (and not just because we are carb lovers).

Hawaiian Flatbread

We also tried the Hawaiian Flatbread Pizza topped with marinara sauce, pineapple, onions, ham, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese. The flatbread was crisp with a light amount of toppings. This is a good choice for pizza lovers, keeping in mind that it is a flatbread rather than traditional pizza with heavy toppings.

It's a good sized portion and could easily feed 2 kids or be a great light snack for a couple of adults

Captain Cook's also functions as a grab and go food location for the Polynesian Resort. You can find a variety of drinks, snacks and baked goods ready to take out.
