Kind of a gross place. The first night I got the ultimate grilled cheese which I thought was great but then realized it had a popcorn taste so was it cooked with a dirty tool or something? The burger was gross. The breakfast croissant was not fully stuffed. It's cafeteria type food. The room service for margarita pizza was really good.

The vibe is superb! the food is basic but good for what it is! Not gourmet but good👍

Food is pretty decent if on the massive side but otherwise very enjoyable.

Not terrrible but could be a lot better. Service depended on the day but mostly dealt with non joyful employees. There was different food options for breakfast, lunch/dinner but some seemed fresher than others. The meals were definitely expensive and be sure to be getting all the items of your meal, including kids meals, especially since you’re being charged for it. For instance easily over $50 for a family of 3 for breakfast. The cashiers do not remind you to grab the drink or sides for your kids meals. Breakfast kids meals were plentiful, like the egg portion being abundant. The seating area is usually full but there are tables always available and the staff was on top of cleaning the tables as other people got up to leave. Not a terrible option to have this at the resort but if you’re looking for something more upscale I’d recommend dinning elsewhere.

The Bayline Diner stands out with its sheer scale and eye-catching retro aesthetic. Walking in, you're immediately hit with a wave of nostalgia thanks to its chrome accents, neon lighting, and enormous screens that dominate the space. The atmosphere is big, bold, and undeniably fun—great for families and groups looking for a cool place to eat.
However, the dining experience doesn’t quite live up to the visual promise. The food options are somewhat limited in terms of customization, especially for those with dietary preferences. Service could be more welcoming; during our visit, staff came across as indifferent, and we experienced overcharging for menu items we didn’t request. To make matters worse, pricing isn’t very transparent, which can leave you surprised at the register.
One suggestion that could elevate the whole vibe: instead of looping a short, repetitive video, why not play classic retro movies or TV shows on those giant screens? It would tie in perfectly with the theme and make the dining experience even more memorable.
In short, the Bayline Diner nails the look but needs to match it with better service, clearer pricing, and a more engaging use of its impressive tech.

Tried a little bit of everything and it was great! The omelets, Brazilian Churrasco, the burgers...amazing! The service was great!

The hotel aspires to accessible leisure, a very American innovation. The diner fulfills that promise, with reasonably priced food served to many, cleanly, entertainingly and efficiently.
The ambience is cool, and the quick meal was a godsend for my completely wiped children.
Unfortunately, the food was very hit or miss. For dinner I had a stirfry that was tasteless and sopping in sauce. For breakfast my kids had pancakes that were premade and crispy instead of soft.
In conclusion, the restaurant was fine for sustenance and atmosphere, but the food is disappointing.

The Bayliner diner needs to adjust their "special" signs. You cannot print cheese ravioli "with" meatballs on a sign with a busy background with the "with" being in gray text. I only saw two different specials. "Cheese Ravioli" and "Meatballs". I can't and do not eat meat and was given a plate of meatballs that the server was unwilling to redo because he pointed to the sign with the extremely hidden "with" in it.
I've already struggled to eat here as a vegetarian because of a lack of options so getting a plate full of meat on an option I thought was vegetarian feels really crappy.
Especially after not booking me in the correct accessibility room which made us have to move.
Now a third meal I couldn't eat (the first two were just gross, you need someone to teach your chefs how to cook your "chicken substitute" - which I assume is Gardien or Morning Star - hint, give it some crisp in an air fryer or something first). The pasta salad should be renamed to "Mayonnaise with noodles".

Overall experience is that the food is way overpriced for two burges and fries and a kids pizza to come out over 50 dollars. Burgers were bland, fries old. Overall would rather go eat somewhere worth the price

This is your theme park resort food faire but it's reasonably priced, the food is good, and the atmosphere is charming. I do mean it when I say the food is good, sure there's plenty of menu items that are basic but the chicken tenders, hot dog, and pizza are all tasty.
The thing that sets it apart is their international stall, you'll get a really good meal here! Breakfasts here are OK but once again there's standouts like thr Belgian waffle - there's always something that elevates this place on offer.
The grab and go items are also well priced for the most part. Will you spend $3 on chips? Yeah. But it's worse elsewhere. A hot tea will run you like $5 or $6 and that's absolutely outrageous even by resort standards. Most things are more reasonable however. The atmosphere is charming, a cafeteria with chairs and booths with retro diner theme with old commercials playing silently in loop on giant screens.
Overall while it may on the surface seem to lack some of the elevated stalls of Unviersal Aventura, a similarly priced resort, it offers way more options, is more family friendly, and thr International stall competes with the options I've personally had the Aventura. Staff is cordial but would love friendlier staff across both Disney and Universal resorts.

Food is descent, atmosphere cool but the layout of the eating area drove me nuts. Ate here a handful of times during our stay. They have loads of items and most are good, we found ourselves repeatedly ordering pizza here and at the Atomic Tonic. The one thing I can’t stand is the way they have the entrance to the actual eating area. It’s hard to get into if you just want to get to the coffee and drink machine. They could have opened it up more. Very annoying
