We had a great dining experience at the Boardwalk Buffet Restaurant at the Rosen Inn Lake Buena Vista! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by Mel, who was very friendly and welcoming.
The food selection was impressive and beautifully presented. I especially enjoyed the clam chowder, pulled pork, tostones, salad, chicken cordon bleu, Spanish rice, and garlic mashed potatoes—everything was flavorful and fresh. There was also a nice variety of shrimp, chicken tenders, French fries, and delicious baked bread buns.
If you’re traveling with kids, is great to know that kids under 5 eat free with a paying adult—a great deal for families!
For dessert, there was a tasty assortment including chocolate cake, ice cream, and my personal favorite, pecan pie.
A big thank you to Annette, our waitress, who was very kind and attentive throughout the evening. Her attention to detail really made the experience even better.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a family-friendly buffet with great service!

My partner and I have just returned from an amazing week in Orlando. We stayed at the Rosen Inn.
During our visit, we frequently dined at the Boardwalk Buffet restaurant, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The cost per person was exceptionally reasonable.
Oh my goodness, the breakfast buffet here is absolutely incredible! They have a wide variety of cereals, cakes, and American classics. And guess what? They even serve Mickey Mouse waffles! Can you imagine that? On some days, they even had baked beans, which made my British heart flutter with joy. The atmosphere is super positive, and the best part? You can refill your drinks, whether they’re hot or cold, or even soda. It’s a delightful experience! Dinner was served buffet style, offering a wide range of appetisers and entrees. The desserts were delicious, and the drinks were refillable, making for a satisfying meal.
The food was absolutely delicious, but that’s not the only thing that made our experience so great.
We were greeted and taken care of by such lovely staff members that we had to give them a shout-out! They were absolutely fantastic and made our day.
A big shoutout and thank you to Shay for being such a lovely host in the evenings!
A big thank you to Jill for her exceptional care, positivity, and friendliness. She engaged with us warmly and showed genuine interest in us as people. Jill is truly an asset, and Boardwalk should never let her go.
We will be back again in the future

While staying the area, checked around and found this place. We did not stay on the premises, but walkin's are welcomed! The breakfast buffet for 2 people came to under $30. Now to the food! There was plenty to eat! You can also make yourself waffles as needed. The food was good, but not hot enough. By the time you got back to your table, except for the grits, it was slightly warm at best. The best part of this place was the service. Everyone there was friendly and were ready to help with anything you needed. Was it worth it? Yes for the amount of money you spend it is worth it! And you can bet we will be back when we are in the area.

WALK INS WELCOME I have to say this is actually a HIDDEN GEM if I had known about this place before I would’ve saved money on restaurants I’ve been to during my vacation. It has Great fresh food, great attentive service, the staff is so kind and friendly they’re constantly checking up on you by delivering drinks refilling or making sure your table is clear or even making sure your kids needs are taken care of while your hands are full.

I decided to eat hear instead of walk 8 minutes down to the restaurants from the attached hotel. I should have walked. I got here 10 minutes after they opened and all the food was already cold and everything tasted like it came out of a can with no seasoning. The chicken was dry and the pork was full of oil. I hate waisting food but I left most of it on my plate and ate a couple of rolls.

I was surprised to see the low score but I guess that’s because of the old comments. Price is very good for a buffet. Variety was enough. Employees were helpful, nice and kind.

While the food was just okay, I wanted to leave a review to say how wonderful Jill was! She was working during breakfast time and each time she was so helpful, attentive and kind! She always smiled and asked everyone if they need more drinks or anything else! I will only come back for her
Food and service was great! Buffet was fully stocked and plentiful, anything you could think of breakfast wise it was there! Staff was super friendly!

Comfortable place if you are staying at the hotel, it opens early ideal for having breakfast and going to the Disney parks. The food is delicious but not excellent and there is not much variety. Maybe a little more accessible would be the best option. The lady who served us as a waitress, the prettiest and very good person, I was impressed with her efforts for her age and she should be highly valued. Recommended :)

Here's the hotel's proposal: simple, reasonable price, eat and drink to your heart's content. Very comfortable to have dinner without having to leave the hotel. I think breakfast is expensive, it's not worth it.
