Join us for a hootin', hollerin' great time. The food
& fun never stop at Whispering Canyon Cafe!
Sit back & relax as our rowdy crowd entertains you & enjoy
the best vittles east of the Rockies. Diners are encouraged to sing &
wave their napkins in the air at regular intervals, & there
are other surprises in store!
Overlooking the expansive, log-structured lobby,
Whispering Canyon Cafe offers a family-style, all-you-can-eat feast
in an American West motif.
"We hope to achieve a homelike feeling with old-fashioned
cooking served family-style," said Katie Moore, restaurant food
and beverage manager. "It's almost as if this is a way station where
traders and barterers gather to share stories and enjoy a hearty
meal."
Here, a pit-master chef divulges recipes from generations
past as he serves up breakfast, lunch and dinner dishes from a cast-iron
skillet.
"We are using natural cooking techniques -- smoking,
grilling and barbecuing -- which are consistent with the time period
the lodge reflects," said Richard Jennings, chef. "We hope our guests
will feel as though they are dining in another era."
Aromas of breakfast meats, home fries and scrambled
eggs welcome hungry pioneers to breakfast. As high noon approaches,
you can choose our family style skillet lunch or pick from our full
a la carte menu featuring hot and cold sandwiches, salads and a
full-choice dessert board.
Suppertime features an all-you-can-eat sampling of
apple-roasted chicken, jumbo smoked turkey leg, maple garlic spareribs
and grilled trail sausage, served with salads, vegetables, home-made
breads and fruit cobbler for dessert.

"This restaurant has prime location, right in the beautiful
lobby of Wilderness Lodge. My boyfriend and I were staying at the
lodge for a long weekend and wanted to make it a point to stop by
for a meal. We decided to have breakfast on a Saturday morning.
We put our name on the list around 10:30(breakfast is over at 11:00)
and recieved a beeper. We decided to walk across the lobby to the
store, but by the time we reached the mercantile our pager was already
going off. I recommend going for breakfast around this time because
the cafe is not as crowded, but still fun! The serving staff is
great entertainment, it is almost like a Disney dinner show, but
not the same price. About the prices, we found this to be the best
deal in Disney!! We each ordered an All-You-Can-Eat skillet, which
includes hash browns, eggs, waffle, breakfast bread, sausage, bacon,
biscuits and gravy for only $10.00 each! A steal! We also ordered
All-You-Can-Drink milk shakes for $5.00! What a great deal, only
$15.00 for all the food and drink you can consume! The atmosphere
is very fun and family oriented. With loud jokes and singing off-key.
We laughed all the way through our meal! I highly recommend stopping
by for a great meal. A must see!" (8/03) Laura
"Made a priority seating for dinner (6:30pm) and only waited
about 5 minutes upon arrival. Food was good but the best part was
that the kids (ages 11 and 5) had a great time. Our youngest one
got to stand up on his chair and with the help of a microphone,
he called out for some ketchup! One of our best nights in Disney.
Definitely a family fun place for dinner." (12/02) Carol Luszczak
"I really liked the atmosphere and the food and they gave
you plenty ofit on the skillet. Also tried the Peanut butter shake
it was interesting. Yes we did have to make resorvations but we
made those through the concierge desk in our hotel." (11/02)

"Highly recommend this place! They have an all-you-ca-eat-barbeque
buffect that is excellent! However, priority seating is definitely
a must! The first time I ever went to Disney was May, 1998 for my
honeymoon and we stayed at Wilderness Lodge. We just happened to
get lucky and got a table off the main dining room in front of a
fireplace, which was very romantic. The second time we went was
in Sept 2001 and it was much busier so we weren't as lucky. The
service was still good and the fo o d was excellent, but the crowds
were worse so I would definitely do the priority seating deal. The
restaurant is set in a wilderness lodge so the wait staff is decked
out in cowboy/girl outfits. You won't meet any Disney characters
but the staff is VERY entertaining. They have wooden horse races
for the kids and really make a big deal out of birthday boys and
girls...no matter how old. (there was a 21-year-old who got a special
race around the room and a special dessert.) Get the buffet - they
bring out a huge skillet with brisket, baked beans, corn on the
cob, ribs, chicken, turkey legs, etc. If you want more, just ask
for what you want and they'll bring oyu a whole new skillet or just
the items you want. You can even get all-you-can-drink milkshakes!
Bring a big appetite and enjoy the show!
The atmosphere is GREAT! The staff is very friendly and funny. The
food is excellent and there is always something entertaining happening
so kids will not be bored just because there are no Disney characters
floating around. If you have to wait, the Lodge itself is beautiful
and full of things to discover...they even have story-time in front
of a huge fireplace in the lobby. Since the restaurant is right
off the lobby, it makes the wait bearable. The Lodge and this retaurant
are not t o be missed!" (1/02) Clara
"Whispering Canyon was a lot of fun. It's very much familly
oriented and we had both lunch and dinner there. The dinner featured
an all you can eat skillet of varous barbequed meats, chicken, pork
beef, turkey leg, etc. It was way more than we could eat! The entertainment
featured everything from galloping waiters, to a guest who had to
ride a wooden pony around the dining room to tryouts for the Pony
Express." Debbie Maguire
"Breakfast at the Whsipering Canyon
Cafe is WONDERFUL!!!!!"
