Be prepared for things being tossed/thrown your way and being yelled at If you enjoy sass and sarcasm this is THE SPOT for you. Now fair warning on the 45$ skillet dinners - they are delicious (all the sides were so very good % would buy again) but you are going to need a huge appetite to order more of the ayce bonus of the meal. (Only Togo box is allowed if you DO NOT order more of any of your ayce) our server Katie/Kate (sorry if I miss spelled it the picture was blurry) was hilarious and so very endearing in the most sassy way. Super sweet and pro tip don't ask for ketchup by all means do participate in the pony ride (not just for kids) Get the milkshake and enjoy the entire experience

We visited Whispering Canyon Café on Friday 20th of February. To be completely honest, the two hosts that evening were not very welcoming, and an older gentleman at the front was quite rude when my partner politely asked if we could be informed should an earlier table become available. It was not the best first impression. However, the evening completely turned around thanks to the manager Benji and our server Duncan. I have eating restrictions and can be quite limited in what I am able to eat in restaurants, which can sometimes make dining out stressful. Benji was incredibly kind and reassuring. He told me that if there were any issues I could come straight to him and even said he would personally source what I eat himself if he had to. He did not make me feel awkward or difficult. He made me feel understood and supported, and that meant more than I can explain. Our server Duncan was brilliant. Funny, attentive, warm, and completely non judgemental. He made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed, and we genuinely had such a good evening because of him. He is the kind of server who makes you want to come back. Thank you Benji and Duncan for turning the night around and making it such a positive experience. Sinéad and Daniel

The best dining experience out of all the resorts. My family often visits the restaurants at many of the resorts around the Walt Disney World property. We’ve lived local for years. This was genuinely such a FUN experience & the food was phenomenal. Kid friendly for sure. Bring your family!

Whispering Canyon Cafe, located in Disney’s Wiseness Canyon, practically reeks of the Old West. But it’s the Disney version- sanitized, botulism and dirt free, and fun! Let’s start here: this restaurant is food with a show. Your wait staff will mess with you- throwing straws, grabbing your phone, teasing you LOUDLY- all in the name of fun-filled dinner theater. It’s all a joke! Ask for Katsup! Ask for a LITTLE more Coke. Be in on it, and look around to see the faces of those who don’t get it. Bless their hearts. Second, the atmosphere is top notch. It’s appears like you’re dining in a log cabin- inside a massive lodge no less. Third, the food. Breakfast has breakfast foods, but you save money ($20 for adults) by eating when it’s not lunch or dinner. Same atmosphere, different food. Their BBQ - oh my goodness. Hand me more corn bread! They have all you care to enjoy skillets for all three meals- Google the menus for specifics- but the food is all good. Come hungry, eat a lot, and you can skip the next meal. Like a 2-fer-1. Walk around when you’re finished. The Wilderness Lodge is such a beautiful property, and there’s a lot of history to see if you take the time to look. Kids have such a good time here. Your whole family will enjoy it!

Well..... let's just say your in for wild time at this place and it dont matter if your a kid or adult. This place hold a special place in me from the first time i went as a kid to today as an adult going with mine and is by far in its own league and one of the best places to stop in wile visiting disney. Located at the wilderness lodge you will find it. The food is great, definitely get the all you can eat skillets its worth it trust me. Breakfast, lunch, dinner you will be happy and full. They have the annual horse race with adults and kids and of course be weary when asking for ketchup, if you know you know. And if you dont well you will find out! The service is by far some of the best in disney, the atmosphere is like no other. The prices vary, it is disney lol. However when in Rome they say. I definitely recommend making reservations because this place is either busy to no end or dead. Depends on the day and time of year. But definitely make this a stop on your trip, you will not regret it and remember it forever. So much so ive named my cook bar and grill at my camp after it.

We drove to this resort in in order to make our dinner reservation, we got there early and got to explore the hotel. They called our name for our reservation however we were distracted and then when it was or turn to sit they were making fun of us. It was all in good fun!! we had a good laugh. The servers were all yelling out and joking around. We got a huge pile of straws thrown on the table and about 25 bottles of ketchup. It was all in good fun and something we will never forget. The food so plentiful and delicious.

I had so much fun here. Initially, I was a bit nervous because I’m introverted and it’s known that the servers here mess with you on purpose. But our dinner ended up being so so so fun and hilarious. We had a birthday boy in the group and so of course we had a “birthday party” for him. Our server was so funny and entertaining. For food we each ordered the skillets which are all you can eat bbq. The skillet sizes get progressively bigger if more of your group shares the same skillet type. For instance, if all four of you order the Traditional Skillet, they’ll bring a large skillet to share and put it right in the middle of the table. The bigger the skillet…the more fun :) The bbq was great. Beef brisket was my favorite. I noticed a lot of tables were for four people so if you have five or more, reservations can be a bit difficult to procure. And don’t be afraid to ask for ketchup haha

Came with a party of 7 for brunch. Others got the all you can eat meals and I got the brisket omelette. It was very good. Also got the bbq nachos. Light-hearted fun for the whole family. They do some funny things, nothing that crosses the line in my opinion.
