My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner, and it was a wonderful experience. The food was ALL excellent. The atmosphere was a fun mix of things like you were actually on the inside of a ship, and the staff was nothing short of impressive and accommodating. Our personal dining experience was interrupted a couple of times because of the need to take care of our then 4 month old son. The waiter even brought out my wife's' food not once, but twice, and replaced it with a new portion as he brought it out while she was away taking care of our son. After the pleasant experience, I managed to somehow walk away without my credit card from the table, and the waiter literally chased us outside in the rain to make sure that we got it before we left the area. GREAT EXPERIENCE!

Good seafood. Disney prices. Very disappointed that the calamari "steaks" are no longer on the menu.

2 stars for food and 4 stars for service, rounded to an overall 3 stars. Came for Christmas lunch and we had a very nice waiter named Jesse. He was very friendly and attentive, our orders were all correct and came at a decent time. We found a piece of fuzz in our house salad (which had almost no dressing or flavor) but Jesse quickly replaced it and didn't charge us for the salad. For an appetizer, we ordered the clams and mussels which was very flavorful but it was a very small dish, only enough for 2 or 3 people. I ordered the crab ceviche which was way too sour and salty. The lobster bisque and seafood combination was very salty, so salty that we couldn't even finish it. We also had oysters and king crab, which were fairly fresh but nothing to write home about. Overall the service was great, food was average but overpriced, and the view from our seats was great.

Probably the best Meal ever at Downtown Disney and all the Crazy disney resorts. The kids loved re snow crab legs, shelled at table by attentive waiters. Lobster corn dogs are the bomb and ask for the house Sriracha hot chili sauce.

Went here on a recent business trip. We had made reservations and were seated promptly. The server was quick and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious. I would definitely recommend dining here if in town.

I cannot speak highly enough about Fulton's - I absolutely love this place. My family has been going to this restaurant for years when we are on vacation, and I have never been let down once. I used to work at Seattle's premier Seafood restaurant, and let me tell you, it doesn't come near this place for food, atmosphere, experience, nothing. The crab cakes are about 4" wide and 1" thick, and they are some of the most delicious crab cakes we have ever eaten before. I love the inclusion of blue crab - which I was introduced to at this restaurant originally. We then had the seafood tower, which was de-lic-ious. If you are into raw foods, then this is the choice for you. All of this aside, they have the most amazing cracker spread that I have ever tasted in my entire life. No joke, I have dreamed about this stuff. They gave me the recipe when I asked for it, and I will be taking it to all potluck parties for the rest of my life. Once you have it, you are hooked. I know it's something really silly to be excited about, but it was honestly one of the things I was looking forward to most on our trip. The service was absolutely great, I have never had a complaint about how professional and on-point the staff is here. We had recently become engaged (one day prior), and they brought us out a delicious chocolate cake with "CONGRATULATIONS" written on it - they did a great job of making us feel special and welcome. I will always return to this place, and continue to recommend it. If you are looking for a romantic night out with your love and looking for some great seafood, look no further.

Fantastic way to cap off a great family vacation at Walt Disney World! The food, aps, and drinks were all served to perfection which reminded us of our east coast roots.

After being subjected to awful conference/convention food, we were plotting our escape for some tasty seafood! Fulton's seemed to be the most popular choice in the area. Located in Downtown Disney on the water, you could tell it wasn't going to be cheap (just like everything else in DD). We tried to get drinks at the bar, mind you it was close to 10pm so the dinner crowd had died down and there was no one at the bar. The bartender could seriously be the University of Maryland's mascot. He was so freakin' slow. Our table was ready and we must have waited an additional 15 minutes for him to close our tab. The food is decent but not worth the price. The calamari was very tender, light and crispy. I also tried all of the Oysters which were of excellent quality. For my entree, I ended up getting the 1.25lb Alaskan Snow Crab, which were a little dry. It came with two little sad potatoes for $26.95. Overall, a nice place but definitely not worth the price!

On the last day of our Disney trip as we were exploring Downtown Disney, we decided to have lunch at this place. One of the things that jumped out first was their rather large kids menu. Once inside, we sat in the bar area at one of the high tables, and I noticed a number of other kids in that area, to include one sitting with her family AT the bar. The first thing our server asked was if any of us have any allergies, which I thought was cool(a nice double check, though one should figure this out before walking into a seafood restaurant). After perusing the menu, we ordered the chilled seafood plate, fish n chips, and the kids mac n cheese. I liked the presentation of the seafood plate, and my wife said that it was good. It was a good portion(for her at least) of oysters, king crab legs, and peel & eat shrimp. I had the fish and chips, which was HUGE. It was also delicious, and I only ate half and took the rest to go. My daughter liked the mac n cheese, and I like the fact that it very obviously wasn't from the box. Usually restaurants bring out dry unappetizing mac n cheese that you look at and know it is straight from a box, but this looked more like a pasta in a (very) cheesy sauce, which my daughter enjoyed. We also ordered a lobster roll to go, because my wife was still wanting another one after our dinner at the Harbour House inside the Magic Kingdom the night before. It too was good, though rolled in garlic toast vice the usual roll(from what I've experienced). Overall the food was good, the service was fine, and the place was nice. Our total came to around $95 including tip, which is to be expected from a seafood place in Downtown Disney. I think they take Disney dining or offer a discount, as I heard several servers ask guests if they were on it. So overall I'd say that while pricey, this is not a bad choice if you like seafood.

Jason K.

The food was beyond good and the service was fast and friendly. I had the Seafood combo and my wife had the Filet. It was all very good and the crab cake we had for an appetizer was also delicious. My girls had the Alaskan crab legs and they ate every last bite. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere.

Buzz M.

An excellent experience today at Fulton's for lunch. They open at 11:30 are we arrived shortly thereafter. The waiting area was packed with people waiting to be seated and I thought for sure it was going to take 30 minutes to get a table. I was greeted luke-warmly at the podium and we were seated in less than three minutes. Perfect! We like the bow area near the bar the best. We were seated starboard side against a window with views of the lake and Saratoga Springs Resorts. It was a nice setting. The restaurant is very warm feeling and beautifully decorated. It's also in excellent condition and very clean. Our server today was Jesus and he did a fantastic job taking care of us. Thanks Jesus! We ordered off the lunch and children's menus and our food arrived fast and hot. The two kids meals were chicken strips and a hot dog. My wife and I both ordered the fish and chips. We've added lots of photos including some of the food so please take a look. The presentation of all the food was first rate and all of the food was prepared to perfection. If there was something to complain about it would come from me as I thought the breading on the fried fish was a just a "hair" to thick for my taste. That being said though, it was perfectly white, light, and fluffy mouthwatering fish underneath. The check came quickly and we were out the door in under an hour. Kudos Fulton's! We'll be back!!

Grant C.

Food was incredible! We had the crab and lobster, son had the steak, all meals were exceptional. Atmosphere was fantastic as you are seated on a massive boat converted into a huge dining room. Our waiter, Jamal, was a treat as well. He made excellent suggestions and knew the menu inside and out. He also had one of the other waiters, Larry, come to our table to perform a magic trick for our ten year old daughter. Overall was an excellent experience, we will be going back next time we are in Orlando!

Jim D.

Expensive disaster. Waited 20 mins for a table despite a reservation. Only got seated then because I went and asked what was up. Dinner was disappointing. Menu has little selection, and everything is very pricey. Avoid this place like the plague. Only positive is their service staff. Very friendly.

C C.

Service is great, and the only thing above fair. Food was over priced, poorly cooked and just plain weak. My Grouper sandwich was char-grilled which means quasi-burnt. My bun was definitely burnt and the homemade chips lacked seasoning and were past cold. My wife's fish tacos weren't blackened or even seasoned for that matter. The slaw on top was flavorless. The kids meals were greatly overpriced for what they received as well. Overall I will never visit here again.

Ashley O.

We had the seafood tower for two and it was delicious and the perfect amount. It included oysters, shrimp cocktail, seared ahi tuna, and crab legs and crab meat. We also had their clam chowder before the meal and it was perfect. The waiter was extremely polite and the service was excellent. A bit pricey but definitely worth it. Their Bloody Mary is also one of a kind. :)

Virginia G.

Best seafood around! LOve the freshness here and the ability to sit inside at their cozy wood carved bar, nicely laid tables or outside on the "boat" deck. We stopped in for a snack and started with some bluepoint oysters ($2.25 each) which were nicely shucked and served. Had an orange blossom pilsner thanks to the recommendation from the bartender. ($3.50) It went nicely with the seafood. Couldn't decide on what to get ...either the fish tacos or the seafood tower, so we got both. Fish tacos ($15.00) were delicious. Blackened fish, house salsa, queso fresco, could have used a little more fish and less topping though, but all in all ..good. Seafood tower, to die for. Comes with 4 huge shrimp, 6 oysters, a whole main lobster and six crab legs ($45.00) Even with two hungy adults we couldn't eat it all, but we tried!! With our annual pass we got 15% off, which they hadn't offered in the past, and was a nice suprise. Definitely a go back place for us!

Sharon S.

Not my weekend for good food apparently. Was looking forward to a great early dinner since we were meeting family that was in town. What a disappointment. I saw some reviews that were were mixed but we decided to give it a try. I had the Clam Chowder which turned up so think and flavorlesss it was unreal. I could stand my spoon in it! Blah. Then I was served the shrimp cocktail which was floating in a sea of melting ice! I had to wipe each shrimp off before I could eat it. I will say the shrimp were large and fresh. The other food just looked weird to me as well. The drinks were over-priced...but hello, we were on Disney property!! To be expected. But, $11.00 for a sangria with no fruit was a little expensive to me!! Next time we'll just hit the House of Blues or the Rainforest Cafe....

David N.

5-stars all the way around. Service was great, very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Our food came out quick, and tasted great. Tried the Bluepoint oysters; hands down the best we've had. I went with the Grouper entree and seasonal vegetables (see pic). Seasoned perfectly, cooked perfectly, and married phenomenally with their choice of vegetables. I was even provided with the grouper's catch number, which I was later able to check online regarding the grouper's origin. Pretty cool. The food, especially seafood, was as fresh as it gets. If that wasn't enough, dessert definitely filled the bill. I went with the Key Lime Pie.... The repetition is killing me, but again, it was the best I've ever had. You will certainly get every bit of what you paid for at Fulton's...Just make sure you bring your appetite, and a down payment for your car! We will definitely be back.

Chet M.

Lobster corn dogs and fried calamari is really good. Whole lobster and crab legs are solid. Service and room is spot on. But stay away from that pork osso buco. You won't like the brothy presentation. They were real cool and took it off our bill.

Mark R.

Really had mixed emotions about my recent visit. I give 5 stars to some of the experience and only 1 or 2 to others. ATMOSPHERE Like some of the other reviewers, I was taken a bit for surprise with the smell. I know it is a seafood restaurant, but does it really have to have an odor of the bottom of a dirty boat? I did like the nautical theme carried out through the restaurant. However, someone in our party kept hitting his head on a lamp that was just a little low for where our chairs were positioned. Also had to change chairs as it felt broken. How often do you get to eat on an old paddle boat? It's got that going for it. FOOD Absolutely have to try the lobster corn dogs. So light and good. Very delicious. 5 stars for sure. We were telling other guests about them. The rest of the food however, was just average. Clam chowder was ok but nothing special. OVERALL If you go in with moderate expectations, you will be satisfied. Don't expect anything fancy or too gourmet.

Eye F.

We had a party of 7 and sampled a good part of the menu. Overall, all of us were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cooking and the service. Its as good as any very good seafood restaurant in Florida, we've been to a lot of them. Compared to the better restaurants in the northeast, lower your expectations by quite a bit. All the freshness and delicateness is absent. My experience suggests this is the norm in the south where soggy fried is the way of life and anything else simply lacks expertise and chefs don't have control over purchasing good seafood. Service was excellent. The wine list properly priced, surprisingly thin but good enough.

Keegan R.

Food quality doesn't come close to matching the price. Though no restaurant at Disney has been good.

Kristen K.

The decor was pretty cool - felt like I was walking up the Titanic to the second floor. The view was great! The service was pretty awful. My beer was brought out in a horribly dirty glass - the waiter noticed and promised to get another one right away. After 20 minutes, I finally got the beer. Now he did apologize and took it off the bill - which was nice. But after walking around in the heat - I really wanted that ice cold beer. I dont know if it was just busy but the waiter seemed like he was running around like a chicken with his head cut off - and forgot a lot of things we asked him for. We had to ask him about 3 times for more water - finally I just found another waiter and asked him to bring us a pitcher. The food was okay. I felt like it was too expensive for what I got... I'm a HUGE seafood person coming from MA and it just fell short. Overall pretty disappointed.

Thomas V.

Expensive but the service is top notch. Ask the server for a recommendation or simply go for the crab legs, can't lose either way.

Rachael T.

Had a great time at this crab shack! They have great cocktails, and our server Angie was personable and knowledgeable of the menu! I would recommend coming here. The crab cake BLT was awesome!

Jaimee A.

This restaurant is a boil on the butt of Downtown Disney! The service is lousy. When we arrived, we were seated at a table that had two occupied tables on either side of us (when half the restaurant was empty). We were packed in so tight that we couldn't move our chairs to sit down. I asked for another table only to be greeted with a scowl from the waiter and hostess. We were then shown to a table that was a slight improvement (the hubby didn't want me to complain again in fear of getting the loogie special). The food isn't particularly good: The seafood tower - the lobster was dry and overcooked, the king crab was dry at the edges, the shrimp were slightly off and the oysters weren't properly shucked (still attached to the shell with broken shell in the edible part) The stuffed shrimp and scallop platter - shrimp stuffing was inedible (bitter) and the scallops had no taste at all - swimming in a gross cream sauce. The mixed seafood platter - fried within an inch of it's life 7 cheese mac and cheese - barely edible 2 orders of plain mac and cheese that my baby liked, but my toddler turned her nose up at. Honestly the only saving grace was the wine (which was delicious) and the warm bread served at the beginning of the meal. Then the sticker shock - $140 - Are ya kidding me?!?!? Avoid Avoid Avoid!

Richard C.

Not going to lie...had a good meal here. You need to arrive at the right time, however, otherwise there's going to be a wait. We were lucky...about ten minutes and that was it with no reservation. Nice bar. Had one of their new drinks "created" by the bartender himself, a lemon somethingorother. Pretty darned good. Tried the lobster corn dogs. Basically it is just little pieces of deep friend lobster on a stick. Each one is one bite. The dipping sauces were pretty good. Had the seafood tower. Excellent. Alaskan crab legs, seared ahi tuna, raw oysters, seaweed salad, etc. It was all very good. The portions were correct for two people as advertised. Yummmmmmmm. The bartender and waiter were both exceptionally nice, attentive, etc. The bill was a bit on the heavy side, but with four drinks (yeah...four), the appetizer, the seafood tower for two, plus tip...pretty much what you'd expect to pay. So I've no complaints about this place and when back in town I'd probably try it again.

Savannah K.

We had the bad luck of the draw here.. The staff honestly wanted to us to have a great meal and our server was an angel.. BUT 1. Hardly any Crab (all breading) 2. Got stung by one of the wasps flying around the tables 3. Our meals were cold. I mean, they weren't even sitting under a lamp. 1 1/2 stars.. won't be back soon.

Adam G.

Not terribly priced for seafood. Had an assortment of crabs and thought it was all very good. Their wait was quick and the servers were very friendly. Loved the boat and whole layout of the restaurant. Had a great time and would definitely go again.

Michael W.

I ate here last fall when I was in Florida. Nice place on the water, clean. Pretty long line which is incovenient but I always take that as a good sign. Got a table upstairs next to the window overlooking the water. Was nice. It makes me mad because I don't remember his name anymore but the waiter we had was the best waiter I ever personally had an experience with. My sister in law recently had a stroke and was struggling with crab legs. My brother intended on cracking his open, and then cracking hers open and then the two of them could eat. The waiter caught on to this and basically insisted that he stand at our table and crack open all of her crab legs for her so the meals could be enjoyed warm and at the same time and so they could enjoy their experience at Fulton Crab House. At the end of the meal my nephew asked about desserts and the waiter read the facial responses of my brother and his wife and before they could even get out that he wasn't getting dessert the waiter politely responded that they didn't have any desserts tonight. Thereby avoiding any chance of hissy fitting or unpleasantness over desserts. I wish i could remember his name cause he was amazing. The food was also amazing. I ordered the Florida Grouper. Served with artichoke heart, tomato, spinach saute and guacamole. The waiter handed me a card with my meal with a tracking number on it and told me I could track my fish online to see when it was caught and where its been and how long its taken to get on my plate. The flavor and the dish was phenomenal. As I've stated in a previous reveiw. I haven't frequented all the michelan star restaraunts and this is one of the best I've had and is getting five stars. The service (waiter) was phenomenal! The food was delicious. Recommended Establishment.

Cynthia L.

So being that this was our first out-of-town experience, let me just say the service (our waitress) was great, the location is great, but the food here is Terrible (think worse than Red Lobster). If you are coming here for good seafood, you are at the wrong place. We had the lobster bisque soup (luke warm soup that had absolutely no lobster pieces in it and minced up crab pieces as garnish); New England Clam Chowder (small and watered down); Caesar salad (normally I don't even mention salad but it was old lettuce. I mean, really, would it be difficult to give your customers lettuce that's not 2+ days old?); Filet Mignon (we asked for medium-well; it was the smallest, flatest, most dry piece of steak we've ever eaten. So not worth the $45 price-tag); Special for $48 (steam broiled in this "broth" that consisted of 1-pound lobster, 6 mussels, 6 clams, corn on the cob and red potatoes) - The lobster was overcooked, the mussels & clams were so tiny, each piece was the size of a dime & not fresh. I didn't even bother with the corn on the cob that looked like it was frozen and thrown into the pot, and the broth was so salty, it tasted like they threw 6 bouillon cubes into water). Are you finished reading my run-on sentences yet because I am. The only thing done right? The fresh complimentary bread they serve. For the price tag of $150 for that meal, it was def underwhelming.

Jim N.

We just ate here. Food was very average. Seafood over cooked. Service average. Would not recommend.

Kenny V.

Love this place! My body screamed for food as I was perusing Downtown Disney doing the usual tourist stuff, expecting many of the restaurants to be of the same caliber as Rainforest Cafe. Great location right on the water, we were lucky enough to beat the dinner rush. They had some of the best conch fritters on their appetizer menu, and the crab cakes weren't of the puree type usually found in the frozen section. Steak and pork chops were spot on! A lot of places screw the pooch on pork, but Fulton's managed to keep it moist. I didn't try the snow crabs, but my parents said it was great. Service is another area where this restaurant shines. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive, even when the restaurant started to pick up. One of the patrons nearby made a comment to the waiter about how her salmon was slightly overcooked. Minutes later, the manager stopped by to give his condolences and offered to pay for dinner. I typically don't see this level of commitment so I was thoroughly impressed. If I'm in the area again, I'll definitely hit up Fulton's!

Mitchell M.

The only reason this is a one is because the meal failed in so many regards. The reservations were for 6:30 and our group of 8 was placed in a corner. We ended up getting out two hours later unsatisfied by the food, having had plates left until the next course, none of our drinks refilled, and overall, no care or attention to our group. Despite everything taking so long, there were no apologies given, or questions about how our experience was, thusfar. The food itself was bland and tasteless. Our group had the deluxe dining plan so we got appetizers, dinner, and desserts included. For appetizers, about half of us for shrimp cocktail, I got the calamari, two had soups, and the rest got salad. At this point, this was the most awareness we had in our meal, where she told us that two of the appetizers were taking a bit longer than expected. So, 20 minutes later, we get our appetizers and they're nothing special. The calamari isn't done enough, and everyone at the table is starting to get frustrated. Keep in mind we are only at appetizers. A table nearby that has came about a half hour after us and is sitting nearby has already gotten their entrees. Granted, they are a group of 2, but we still find this ridiculous. With our appetizer plates still sitting in front of us, our entrees come. Snow crab, king crab, seafood combo (cod, scallops, shrimp, and chips), and filet mignon. The filet was cooked well, but nearly nothing was added to it. The cut was fine and it was cooked medium-rare as I asked, but it just tasted like they had left it like that. No marinade, sauce, etc to add additional flavor to the meat. The portion of the steak was not very good for the price, either. $45 for a steak smaller than my hand and potatoes doesn't cut it. For the people that had seafood, they described it this way: "I've had better seafood at Red Lobster" By dessert, about half our party had paid their bill, then left for the bus, as it was already a long enough meal and dessert wasn't going to save it. I wish that this restaurant was fantastic because I really wanted it to be, just like everyone else that I went with. The atmosphere is nice and so is the view, but that isn't everything. I will not be going back, and for the price and from what I had heard, I expected more, but I suppose it was all overrated.

Tiffany R.

I always wanted to try Fultons when I was at Disney and just never remembered to make a reservation until our last visit. I was really excited to have some amazing dishes at Fultons. We had a reservation and were able to get seated early after winding our way through all the people trying to get a table without a reservation. Our server was ok, I kind of felt that he was over the whole night and waiting on people. We had the lobster corn dogs, which were amazing. The lobster bisque was ok, nothing special, very, very little lobster. After the appetizers we had an hour wait until our entrees came out, no apologies from our waiter. The salmon was brought out and it was cold, the cream sauce over it was congiled on the top and it was obvious that it had sat under a heat lamp. My son had ordered a side of homefries which our waiter forgot to put the order in for, they came out after everyone else was finished with their meal. Over all the food was just ok, not horrible. The service was severely lacking, but since we had a party of 6, a gratuity of 18% was already added to our bills. Since it was after 10pm when we finally left the restaurant, nobody was really concerned about our experience. The bill was not crazy for myself and my 3 kids (9, 11, and 13), $133.00 but I would have expected more from a landmark restaurant at Disney. Will not be going back on future trips to Disney sadly.

Chad I.

Good food and drinks. Excellent service. A little pricey, but the place is nice and has a great view of downtown Disney. My advice - make reservations and try to a seat facing the water.

Cori G.

My husband and I came here as a treat on our last day of our honeymoon for lunch. After a crazy morning at Typhoon Lagoon trying to go on every slide before the late morning lightning, we were hungry! We got in and were seated very quickly, and had great views of the lake. I ordered a burger with fries, though the waitress kept trying to talk me into their house-made chips, and he ordered the seafood platter. All the other tables got bread before their meal and we somehow got skipped on that. It took a reeeeeally long time for them to get our food out to us, and when they did, I got chips instead of fries. At this point, we were running low on time, and I didn't want to risk them having to make a brand new burger or something just to give me fries. I am no food snob, especially when it comes to burgers. I will eat a burger anywhere. I can honestly say this was an AWFUL cheeseburger. The chips were okay, actually, but the burger was just bad. Alexander enjoyed his seafood platter which is a relief since its called a crab house. If you aren't a fan of seafood, don't eat here. Apparently its all they know how to do. They did, however, give us a free dessert since it was our honeymoon that had "congratulations" written in chocolate on the plate. It was a nice sentiment.

Thomas A.

In essence, this is a fancified Red Lobster, with all of the trappings and decor of the familiar chain swapped out for a "riverboat" theme. It actually falls a bit below Red Lobster's level due to the lack of Cheddar Bay Biscuits (or equivalent). The food is not bad, standard fare in the realm of seafood and fried goods. Get it through your mind now that you WILL be paying 15-20% more for this meal than what it is worth - just because it is a Disney property located in downtown Disney. The service was decent, but impersonal and rushed...this place gets VERY busy at dinnertime so I recommend going a bit before or after the standard dinner period. The riverboat theme is cool enough, and the atmosphere is interesting (if a bit fake and plastic)... No serious complaints, so the 3-star "A-OK" rating is a very good fit...

Sparkles S.

Came here for a late dinner, used our Tables in Wonderland card for this place. It depends who your server is. Our server was attentive and offered great suggestions on what to order. We got the cold appetizer for two but it was enough for 3 of us. For our entree we got what our server suggested and it was super delish. It was a lobster stuffed with a mix of crab and shrimp and finished in the broiler with a sauce that was so rich and so good to eat. I could barely finish the crab legs I added since my eyes are bigger than my stomach. We ate too much seafood that dessert was out of the question.

Giemar F.

I was extremely disappointed in the food. We went here for a fine dinning experience and I felt like I'd gone to an average Red Lobster Restaurant (which is actually better than this place). I don't mind paying high prices for good food but I felt robbed at the end of this meal. Ceviche was disgusting, the clam chowder was sent back, my steak & potatoes was something I could've done myself at home and the crab legs were average. Maybe is because I live in San Francisco so my seafood standards are high, who knows. Overall skip this place is not worth the prices for the kind of food your getting. The only reason I am giving it two stars as oppose to one was that the waiter Adam was friendly, sweet, attentive and had great customer service.

Eric M.

Ugh. Total hell. I had a terrible salad for $8, the crab cakes entree was just meh and $34 (!!), and crazy SLOW slow slow service. Why do people come here? Oh, besides the fact that it's a big boat and next to Walt Disney World. Blargh. Listen. If you're looking for a great meal at Disney, skip this dump. Go to the California Grill at the top of the Contemporary Resort. Or Narcoossee's at the Grand Floridian. Those are some AWESOME restaurants with Disney-level service. This place, Fulton's, is run by a 3rd party (not Disney) and it REALLY shows. Overall... extremely disappointing. It felt like a zillion people in a crowded restaurant serving me sub-par food as slowly as possible. Just crappy all around. A real disappointment. IF YOU LIKE SHITTY OVERPRICED FROZEN SEAFOOD, THIS IS YOUR RESTAURANT. OTHERWISE, SKIP THIS PLACE.

Tony J.

I have been here in the past several years in January. I really like this place for lunch and today's experience was just as good as my past luncheon visits. Most cocktails are $12 here. I enjoyed their peach sangria for $12. Kathy had a mimosa and a glass of silver peak chardonnay. We both shared and enjoyed the Fulton's seafood tower 2 for $45. Our total bill less gratuity was just under $100. Our server Josh took care of our needs. I decided to upgrade my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars. Check out my most recent pics. I plan to return here again next January.

Robert B.

I have been coming to Fulton's for years. I can see how the Stars have dropped over the years. The menu has changed. Some of the signature items that I loved are no longer there and I assume that's for the cost. Nevertheless. This is still a really good place to have dinner drinks or both. The crab is always sweet and well prepared. The server will always give the option to remove the crab or show you how to remove the crab from the shell most efficiently.

Stephanie A.

First off, it's on a large river boat so that's just really cool! I was so excited to eat here and as a sea food lover knew it was probably going to be really good. And boy, I wasn't disappointed! We ordered crab cakes to start that tasted so fresh it was like they had just gotten them out of the ocean. My father ordered a plethora of sea food for his entree and enjoyed it immensely. I got the salmon that was also delicious and cooked to perfection. The server was extremely nice and very accommodating. It was our first time dining there so he graciously offered tips and went over any of our questions! Definitely a must do! Can't wait to go back!

Kay Y.

After walking pass by Fulton Crab House for the 1000th time at downtown disney we finally decide to take the plunge and visit this place for Lunch with the family. The restaurant is eye catching. It's a freaking huge boat! I mean it looks grand and ITS A BOAT. However, looks can be deceiving. The inside is worn and have seen better days. The interior is divided into (I think) three floors and a bar area. They might even have some outside seating. The bathroom was horrendous! We went around noonish and it was pretty gross. They should have some sort of schedule of people keeping an eye on that. The food was so-so. I had the opportunity to try the Seafood Tower (for 2 - $45), Shrimp Po-Boy with soup -~$12, and the lobster 'corn dogs'~$17. I've seen previous presentations of their seafood tower and what came out from the kitchen was kind of less than stellar. The tower came with crab, raw tuna lettuce wraps, king crab, and 4 oysters. The seafood was sweet but still watery from defrosting. I think I liked the tuna lettuce wrap the best - had an asian flair to it. The lobster corn dog was "fun" but it could have been shrimp and I wouldn't noticed the difference. I don't think I will order that again for that reason. The good thing was that they didn't over fry. I picked the soup and shrimp po-boy for my main lunch entree. The po-boy had probably around 7 small fried shrimp and the bread was a little stale. If the bread was slightly toasted it might have helped but the inside of the bread was dry and not chewy. The corn chowder (soup, part of lunch) tasted just a little too close to cream of corn from a can. We order a few other things but I didn't try it. The service was unpretentious and really friendly from our server! He was great. Hard to say if i'll come back any time soon base on our lunch experience today - Too bad as I really wanted to love it. TIP: Disney Annual Pass Holders - remember to ask for your 20% off during lunch and 10% off at dinner. They won't automatically ask you so do your self a favor if u care to save a few bucks!

Downtown Disney kinda sucks. It's overrun by annoying teenagers and super crowded. But if you can manage to fend off the pimply kids and moms with insanely oversized strollers, you can find some pretty great restaurants. Fulton's Crab House is one of those restaurants. My friends and I went there for dinner. We didn't have reservations so we had to wait close to an hour (which was less than some other places). We headed to the bar and got drinks. I had a peach sangria that was very yummy and very peachy. When we got our table it was upstairs and in a corner area, which was great for us so we could talk without having to yell over a crowd. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We ordered the lobster corn dogs to start. They were really more lobster on a stick than a corndog per se but whatever, they were delish. For my entrée I ordered the salmon, which came with a butternut squash purée. I loved every bite of this dish. The salmon was cooked just right, flavorful and not dry at all. And it paired really well with the purée - a great combination of flavors. I ate the whole thing with no problem. Everyone else in my group seemed to enjoy their meals as well. If you like seafood, check this place out.

Have always been a fan of Fulton's, but was disappointed on a recent visit. I had the Seafood Fra Diavolo. Sauce was bland, but the worst was, the whole dish had a grittiness to it, which I know is from the shellfish. However, I believe with proper preparation, this can be avoided, but this was consistent, throughout the whole dish. On the bright side the, the seafood was plentiful. My wife and her sister shared the Grouper Dish, which was OK. The worst part here was, they advised the waiter they would be sharing the dish, and he did not bring an extra plate, so they had to use the appetizer plates. No big deal, but he couldn't bring a plate. My wife is a light eater, and she frequently shares. Many restaurants, bring the order pre split. Big loaf of bread, but again, just nothing special. A nice sourdough would be great. Don't waste your appetite on the bread. We were also celebrating my wife's and her twin's birthday- no acknowledgement whatsoever. Lastly, I agree with one of the other comments - the restrooms are in dire need of rehab. The boat in general looks like it could use a complete overhaul. So, yes, Fulton's has lost some of its class. There are so many new restaurants in Downtown Disney, I would not be surprised if Fulton's vanished sometime soon

Nice, fine dining setting, as expected after gazing over the menu outside. It's a fine dining seafood restaurant, so expect to pay those types of prices. They have a lunch menu for those that get there before 4pm and want to spend a little less. Of course, I went for the calamari and I was disappointed. The restaurant wasn't busy, but the calamari took longer than expected to arrive. When it did arrive, it was slightly overlooked and under seasoned. The highlight was the hoisin chili sauce. Other than that, I wasn't impressed. 3 out of 5 tentacles on the calamari. Dad had a crab cake, which was pretty good, but not Maryland good. It sat atop a fried green tomato and maque choux, which were excellent complements. The portion size was a bit small.

Joel C.

It's a mixed bag with Fulton's. On the list of positives, the food was pretty good, the river boat atmosphere was a big hit with the kids, it was easy to get reservations for lunch, and our waiter was great. The negative - pricey, pricey, pricey. It's sort of to be expected when eating at a Disney table restaurant, but the food quality and experience just doesn't live up to the price.

Jeri R.

Visited this restaurant in July 2015. I Decide to dine at this restaurant, because of reviews and some pictures. I was disappointed. Not by my meal, but my husbands and daughters meal that states serves for 2. (4 legs each 3 red potatoes each and 1 corn on the cob each. Their meal cost them $99 and the cost was not worth it. There were things I wanted to try, but found out they were not on the menu no longer -_- We left there with a $275 bill and most of the party (4 people) were still a little hungry. This included 1 drink per person 3 soups and no deserts. Service was great and so was my sangria! :) would I come here again? No because I had better for the same bill. My salmon with artichoke and spinish was very good, but I felt like it was missing more veggies. And the cost of that was $34-39.

Ralph A.

Really disappointed. Not only with the service but the food as well. We were seated quickly but waited forever for our waiter. When he came he took our order and we asked for water and ordered drinks and our food... And away he want. Didn't see him again till he came back with our drinks which was about 15 minutes... No water till we asked again. Our appetizer came at the same time as the meal we wanted to share. We had to ask for another plate so we could share as we stated when we ordered. The jambalaya was salty and had 4 shrimp and some sausage. Couldn't find a piece of crawfish at all. The bread came at the end of the meal that we should have had just after we sat down. Totally unacceptable for the price, and for Disney. We won't be back. Should have waited for the rainforest cafe. At least the atmosphere is fun.

Matthew B.

This place was ok. I noticed all of the other reviews pointed out a service issued. I didn't notice one. What I will point out is how the crab cakes were made up of about 80% bread. The taste was there, but it was mushy and sticky. Thank you Amanda for the amazing service! For the price I would have expected a higher quality of food, but I forgot that this restaurant was in downtown disney. Overall this was a good experience for me.

Manjit Z.

Yes, it's pricey, but you're also eating at a Disney restaurant, it's expected. We made reservations on line in advance, super easy. Got there, got seated and our server was amazing. Super personable and attentive. As I'm looking at the prices, I think, wow, I'm going to spend a pretty penny, and this guy is already making up for it with his service. He suggested the lobster corn dogs, which I'm glad he did, they were amazing! Everything we ordered was very good, and we had absolutely no complaints. I'm still craving those lobster corn dogs. If you're looking for seafood, great service at downtown Disney, this is the place to go. Be aware you are paying a premium.

Vincent L.

Well, I'm giving them a 2 stars because like other helper said below average food, average service and way too much $$$ (Mid $30's range per dish) Was great nicely by the host and able to sit right away for 6 of us, my entire experience was ok, nothing like whoa either the service or food. The pasta was really blend not enough seasoning, clam chowder soup can't find no clam, jambalaya rice was way over spicy so u don't really taste the flavor of the dish. Both food runner came to our table twice and have us to put down the dishes for them . Server did come back check on us frequently. Bottom line is I won't go back this placeagain not recommend any my friend to try.

Rebecca P.

What a fantastic spot in Downtown Disney! The atmosphere feels as if you're out East on the coast with GREAT service! We waited for awhile in the bar and the bartenders were outstanding...which carried on into the dining room. The food is divine, and fairly priced considering you're at Disney. Don't go here for a cheap dinner but you will get that quality you would expect! Clam chowder was superb and the seafood was clearly fresh and delicious! We were celebrating a birthday and they did a fantastic complementary dessert for us as well! True Disney style...great service, superb food, and a perfect atmosphere!

Julie D.

Reviews are mixed, so I was nervous about dining here. The bf's choice. Service was good. Food choices were very good. We started out with the lobster on a stick. So good. And then we both opted for a sandwich and side. I got corn and crab soup. This was so good. Incredible. I also got a shrimp sandwich. The bf got clam chowder and a crab cake BLT. He enjoyed his meal. However, there was a problem with my sandwich. I pointed it out to our server and he brought the manager over right away. He asked if I wanted to order something different, I did not and it was removed from our check. Just like that. They took ownership of the issue, and resolved it. Great service, incredible views both inside and out.

After flying in to Orlando, Florida after a 4 1/2 hr flight from California, my friends and I were starving at this point. We went to Downtown Disney and notice this huge boat in front of us and decided to give this place a try because we are a huge fan of seafood. Needless to say, it was a Wed night and the wait was about 45min to be seated. After we got seated, a waiter did not come until 10min after we were seated. We were given water about 20min later, since we were super hungry at this point we wanted to order our meals. Here's the few things that we order: -Crab cakes were fresh and delicious -Lobster tail corndog was very salty and was not worth trying. -Blue crab and corn soup was good but there were no crab to be found. I can only taste the sweet corn. - Mix seafood linguine was okay nothing special. Overall, the service ended up be good after our meals were out. The waiter became attentive but it was kind of late to do so. I'm glad I tried this place but would not come back due to the lack of service in the beginning and food wasn't that great for the price.

David O.

Looks fancy, tastes average. Calamari rings were tiny, literally. Coming from Chicago, I expected better tasting seafood in Florida and I was letdown twice, by this and another establishment. Wont be coming back!

Tracy Y.

Cream chesse crab spread and crackers were out of this world! Highly recommend the king/queen crab legs for 2

Kendell M.

A great get away from the tourist feel of every other Disney restaurant! It is located in downtown Disney, which is a very nice area with shops and restaurants. Pricey, but definitely worth it. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. I ordered 4 oysters, definitely a must when visiting Florida in July/August. They were fresh and delicious! I also got the swordfish served with white beans, arugula salad and tomatoes. The sides were great and the fish was perfect size. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice atmosphere, friendly staff and a nice break from the chaos of Disney.

Mikhail V.

Can't say it's spectacular. But it is certainly solid, and comforting, and tasty, and good, and simple, and... Well it's a good place to have a good meal. But trout I would certainly recommend.

Dianna N.

First off I want to say my waiter Russell was AMAZING. This man went over and above for me. It was my first solo Disney trip and he did his best to keep me entertained as I ate dinner alone. I had ordered the swordfish special with stewed beans and it did not list on the menu that there was bacon in the beans which doesn't work for me because I do not eat meat. I told him it was fine and that I would just pick the swordfish out and it was no big deal. I ate whatever fish did not have the beans on it. The next thing I knew the chef was at my table with another fresh piece of swordfish covered in arugula and a delish veggie sauce! I cannot believe how much he went out of the way for me! The food itself was great and the crabdip they give you is too die for. I will def be going back

I came here for here for the first time last weekend, we had a 10pm reservation. You could definitely tell it was the end of the night, they were out of a lot of things, and the dining room floors were littered with pieces of food and napkins. The crackers that came with the crab dip were stale, but the bread was good. At first we ordered the Rainbow Trout and the Grouper. The waiter came back and told us they were out of the Trout, so we switched that for Tuna. About 10-15 minutes later the waiter came back again and told us he just found out they were out of the Tuna too. We said no problem we would just share the Grouper, and that came out in about a minute. What that left me wondering was, if we had ordered something else would the Grouper have just been sitting under a heat lamp while the other dish was being prepared? The Grouper ended up being good, and we ended up being satisfied just sharing the one dinner. Our check came with the Tuna still on it... oppps. We got the fixed, and the waiter gave us a discount for our troubles. The service was good, our waiter was very nice, relaxed, and professional, our drinks never went empty. I would like to try this place again, maybe it would be better earlier in the night? I like to eat late, and if you offer a 10pm reservation I think it should be just as nice of an experience as for those eating at 7. Running out of things is normal, but it could have been cleaner, especially the bathrooms.

Bo Y.

This place deserves more recognition. First of all, it's a Huge restaurant and the building itself looks cool from the outside, like a standalone docked at bay. The food is quite exquisite including the best Crab Ceviche I've ever had. I mean it's basically eating full bites of fresh crab meat with very little overpowering ingredients. So fresh, so clean, so yummy. I had the chance to have their grilled Ahi Tuna Steak and it was the best I've ever had. Better than Eddie V's, better than Oceanaire...seriously, the hints of wood grill lingering with each bite and the fresh, firm texture of the tuna says it all. Piggin out, I also had their fresh stone crab claws. Not the tastiest ever but you can't go wrong with these. The service was phenomenal and their Super Fruit Sangria is pretty darn good, coming from a guy who does not like sangrias. Cool place to dine!

Katrice S.

Ok so here are my thoughts.... The Good: I thought that the lobster bisque had a nice texture and good flavor. The crab on top was an added bonus. The po-boy was O.K. The lobster corndogs were decent but the dipping sauce tasted a little suspect to me. The Bad: My brother had to send his fish and shrimp back because he didn't feel as though his fish was done enough. The batter slid right off of the fish as soon as he pick it up with his fork. His chips were bland as well as the majority of the food for that matter. The Ugly: For anyone who knows me well, knows that I LOVE BREAD!!! It wasn't until we were almost done with our meal that we noticed we never received our complimentary bread!!! FOUL big time in my book. I absolutely loathe when I go to a restaurant, especially pricey ones, and the shrimp are not deveined!!! That is so gross to me. They were sorely overpriced considering the quality of our meal and service. Lastly, the restaurant sits on what looks like a man-made body of water and though the view was nice, little water flies were plastered on the window next to where we ate...eww. Verdict: Overall, the food was just ok. It probably wouldn't be my first recommendation and I will probably never go back. Should've gave me my complimentary bread and butter...smh!

Scottie M.

To start, out waiter did not tell us his name. I had absolutely no idea what his name was to this day. Immediately after ordering our food, he became rude and would not speak to or acknowledge our table. Now the food: I ordered the most expensive food poisoning I've ever received. The shrimp was de-veined improperly, and the fish in the fish tacos smelled awful and tasted frozen. I would never return to this restaurant. I was on the toilet for hours afterwards.

Maryam I.

I would probably give this place a 2.5 stars, due to poor service. The food was great, but it seemed like our server had too many tables. It took a long time for someone to even get our drink order... then she left and didn't return to get our food order. We were brought the complimentary bread service almost 25 minutes after we were seated. No bread plates, no silverware. The food came out in a decent amount of time, but it was almost 40 minutes after we had been seated. The ahi tuna lettuce cups were DELICIOUS! The beef tenderloin skewers were also very good. But the restaurant was SO cold, I couldn't wait to leave, so had to skip dessert. In the future I may just return and eat at the bar. But I wouldn't want to risk the slow and dismissive service I experienced in the upstairs dining room.

Grant E.

Bang for buck - this place is the best place in downtown Disney. About the cost of eating at Chili's. I had the Seafood Combo at lunch - white fish and shrimp plus a hearty helping of fries. Wife had the fish & chips. Great food, decent service, great prices. This was for lunch - so for dinner - your mileage may vary. Don't let the outside fool you - great prices for great food in Dtown Disney.

Travis W.

Overall, great service but way overpriced for a so-so meal. Expected a lot more for $360 for four people. Would not recommend. We came on a Wednesday night and waited an hour to be seated. Calamari and crab cake appetizers were awesome but I wish I could say the same for the rest of our meal. I had the $48 T-bone and the steak was undercooked and not juicy at all. The baked potato was also undercooked. Others in our group had a seafood pasta plate, the chicken w/gnocchi, and the grouper. The only plate anyone enjoyed was the grouper. The drinks, while tasty, were pretty small and also expensive. Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm for any Disney based restaurant which doesn't make sense since they have such high standards for everything else. They definitely have the means and resources to provide a much better dining experience.

Liz H.

Enjoyed it. Great to not have to wait for a table. Service was awesome n very attentive.

Heather C.

We should have listened to the warnings and went somewhere else for dinner. Firstly, when checking in with the receptionist our conversation went as follows: Me-"4 people but one is in a wheelchair" Hostess- "ok so 6?" Me- "No, four adults and one is in a wheelchair." Hostess-"So 5?" Me- "No 4, we are only 4 people" So after receiving my text that our table was ready and checking in with the second host i reconfirmed with him that we had a handicapped person in a wheel chair with us. He told me "that doesn't matter", I was given a ticket and told to wait in line. So a gentleman came over wearing a shirt and tie (I assume he was a manager) and upon seeing our guest in her wheel chair states "You should have told them you had a wheelchair" I did, TWICE!! So we had to wait longer for them to find a table that could accommodate us. It took us a bit of time and encroaching on our neighbors' tables to get the wheel chair into place but eventually that worked out alright. So we ordered our drinks about 10 minutes after sitting down. The server forgot one and we had to ask him after we placed our dinner order. The food took 45 minutes to come out. We were given two loaves of bread and some crab cream cheese crackers. By the time our food actually showed up everyone was starving, but they forget two of our sides. We had finished our lobster and crab before they ever made it out to the table. We decided to leave without dessert, by an hour and a half after we sat down we all just wanted to leave. While the food was good; we will definitely not be returning. TL;DR: Food was good staff/service was AWFUL. Not worth the wait.

Patrick C.

Went on the last day of vacation with a lot of meal credits to use. It was expensive, but I thought it was very good. I had the King Crab and it was great. My wife had a steak and it was cut with a knife tender. Best waiter and service we had the entire week.

Kevin M.

Wow how disappointed we were lets go back 3 yrs ago as a family vacation we wanted a very nice dinner as part of our vacation we were seated up stairs and had an amazing waiter that gave us great suggestions we have one daughter that is allergic to seafood do we let him know our dinners came and the food was really good but my daughter started to have a reaction not sure what happened but the waiter immediately got the executive chef and general manager there response was amazing the chef personally remade her dish on a fresh grill that was not used before and it was really good I highly commend them for there professionalism our night was a great success thanks to the entire staff Fast forward to now back on vacation we want this place to be our first nights meal. We got there 10 minutes prior to our reservations after 25 minutes past our reservation time they seated us when asked we got the answer "we can't ask people to leave " that was the oddest response kinda raised our eyebrows but we moved on did not want to start the evening off on a bad note. We looked over the menu and noticed it has change a lot. More then a lot. Not in a good way it seems this place has down graded not sure if there looking for dinners not looking for that great experience. When we ordered we explained my daughters allergy concerns but he was not to reassuring with his feed back, we ask to talk with the Chef and was told he is very busy. And he would make a note on the ticket we ordered, oh but my daughter did not order she felt she could not trust the waiter due to his response. Definitely not having the time we expected the food was just ok nothing memorable service was not memorable. If your looking for an amazing night out this is not the place for the money there are better and more memorable places

Mike V.

Wow! That's all I can say once again for this place because of Steven from Indonesia who waited on us per my request. I brought my wife here for her birthday while visiting Disney just like we did last year. So I made reservations and requested to be seated in Steven's section once again. After we were seated, Steven came to our table and remembered my family from our visit over a year ago. He remembered where sat at the last time and called us the "snow crab family". He even remembered that my wife preferred cheese cake over chocolate cake when he brought out birthday cake after dinner. Just unbelievable customer service! The food was A+ just like our last visit. If Yelp had 10 stars for a review that's what I would give this review and that's just because of Steven and how well he treats his guests. Thanks again to Steven for making my wife's birthday dinner a special one.

Justin L.

I ate here with a colleague while on a business trip, and I cannot wait to come back! The service was terrific, and the food was top notch! This place is a bit pricey since it is in Downtown Disney, but overall it was a terrific meal!

Mel B.

My son and I enjoyed sharing our lobster boil, and my husband loved his grouper. The service was outstanding. Order "Oscar" - best thing we ate.

Jennifer S.

I can't believe this place takes two dining credits from your Disney Dining Plan for lunch! Sorry. I'm still a little bitter about it. Lunch ranges from around $13-$20. It definitely is not worth two credits! So, fellow Disney Dining Plan people... come for dinner! I'm pretty sure dinner is probably more worth it than lunch. Okay. My rant about that is over. Other than that, I enjoyed the experience. We were in a big time crunch to catch our shuttle at the hotel to the airport. We sat in the bar area. Our server, Diana, was extremely understanding. Besides that, she was friendly and sweet, and I would definitely recommend her as your server in a heartbeat. She brought us our lunch and dessert at the same time. We got the crab cake BLT with kettle chips and the key lime torte. Everything was good. I really enjoyed the entree. The crab cake BLT was moist and delicious. I love house made potato chips, so the kettle chips were fantastic! They even put seasoning on it that gives it a bit of a kick! Overall, a good experience, but I think I'd rather try dinner next time.

Tajuan M.

We are big seafood lovers and we thought this was good but priced at a premium. The Crab Ceviche and Crab cake were amazing along with the category Five (Hurricane)!!

Vivian L.

I love this place!!! We got the best service here!!! I'll take my parents here if they come for a visit during my graduation!! Cute waiter with British accent gave good recommendation for what to start and teaching for how to open the crab pincers. The food are fresh and the price is not bad! I used to be scare of eating raw oyster, but the seafood tower here are amazing! I tried the fresh raw oyster with sour and spicy sauce then I fall in love with it!! The most impressive thing is the surprise birthday cake they made for me. It made my day especially I was feeling sad for the bad weather before I came!!

John R.

A very large place and coming here for lunch we were very satisfied with the menu selection and service was really great as well. As some of the reviews have mentioned it does seem like the place, in general, needs a bit of a refresh and better maintenance. There also seemed to be a general lazy attitude towards fielding concerns, for example, about things noticed going wrong with a towel dispenser in one of the bathrooms.

Tammy M.

I'm a little surprised by the 3 star average rating. I was in Disney for 6 days a couple of weeks ago and this was one of two meals that I actually enjoyed. I had the stone crab ... which is my favorite and not really possible to do poorly. It was expensive but you are paying for the tourist trap. My daughter had the Fish and Chips and said that they were the best she's ever had. My party also ordered a chicken sandwich, which also had rave reviews. I have to say that if I find myself in Downtown Disney I would go back again.

Paul I.

Really good. The jambalaya and the crab cakes are a must try. It's expensive and you will have to wait but its worth it. Mike the waiter was very good. He knew the menu and explained well. Will come back

Carol D.

Lived in Florida entire life I know good seafood this was very mediocre. Ordered a glasses of white wine 15.00 each total 30.00 that is what I call price gauging. Waited over 45 min had to go up and ask and then we were seated and many tables were available. Not impressed at all wouldn't go back or recommend save your money go to international drive and find s restaurant

C R.

Delicious food. Great service. My friends loved the king crab. My wife really liked her trout. I had the salmon which was perfectly cooked. I would definitely recommend this place to someone else.

Joe D.

The food is mediocre a glass of wine is way over priced. Service was good but we waited for an hour and it was not worth the wait!

Rob G.

Sat at the bar for dinner was surprisingly good. Had the Grouper which was really fresh, I asked for extra guacamole as it didn't come with quite enough. Had grilled asparagus on the side a little old wouldn't recommend it. Black bean soup and crab cake for starters were average. If you go try the grouper really nice.

John G.

Needed to eat at Downtown Disney and loved the paddle boat exterior. Upon walking in we were greeted politely and seated waterside with a great view. While waiting for your food, go walk around the boat. The front has a beautiful bar with dark wood everywhere, including the large hanging fish. Outside the tables are wrapped in rope for a nice touch. In the rear the dining area round out the correct feel of this boat with the decor and photos. We told the waiter we wanted something light and not quite a full course lunch, he recommended the lobster corn dogs and the ahi tuna lettuce cups. The corn dogs were lightly battered and a nice compliment to the lobster. I liked the sweet chili aioli over the salsa Verde. The tuna cups are out of this world. I could eat them everyday for the rest of my life. They are light, fresh, and flavorful. We split the lobster grilled cheese to finish. Large pieces of lobster on soft melty cheeses on light bread. Nothing over powering, delectable treat. Of note - my Arnold Palmer tasted nice and clean. My wife and I recommend this restaurant and look forward to next time.

Jovan C.

The crab duet was delicious and was perfect to go with my red wine. I would definitely make reservations again to this place, they also allowed us to come 20 minutes earlier than what our reservations were.

Alden H.

We came in pretty late on a Thursday night with a group of 17 with no reservations. They were able to accommodate us with very little wait which was amazing. I think we were lucky so don't expect that to work out all the time. Our server Ryan was amazing he went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience. I can't say enough about how attentive and helpful he was. I had the clam chowder which was good but not amazing. My wife and I split the seafood tower which was $45 but was a huge platter. I was very impressed with the value for the money. Especially being at Disney and expecting to pay higher prices. My son had a kids filet and some calamari. He also said the food was good not amazing. All in all I would give these guys 5 stars for service and 4 stars for food.

Alex U.

We sat in the Industry Room which was the back of the ship in a little table against the wall. Our server Amanda was pleasant and helpful. They brought a fresh bread loaf to start. I had the Jambalaya which was served in a cast iron skillet and was too hot to eat for a long time. My sister had the fried shrimp with a backed potato. It was all very good. They take Tables in Wonderland. Even with that discount our bill came to $65 with an iced tea, tax and tip for the two of us.

Chrissy B.

I've wanted to try this for years, and finally had the chance this past weekend. Ahi lettuce wraps were awesome, as was linguine with clam sauce. Crab cakes are decent, and are served on a fried green tomato - yet both taste better when eaten separately. Overall good experience, would recommend.

Jason P.

Disappointed definitely in the service and also in most of the food. Calamari and corn And crab soup were good. Grouper was over cooked and was presented with ingredients that didn't agree. We were one of the first tables to be seated and our entrees were served well after at least 10 other tables arrived with no explanation or apologies. For the price, very disappointed. Would not go back.

Shapour M.

Our first time in Fulton as Florida residents:( the location is excellent, the service was great at the table and bar but the food quality was disappointing. They use to have a great menu selection but I don't know what happened?

Tina T.

If you ask me, this place was decent but not the most amazing. I got the Snapper and it was only slightly above mediocre. HOWEVER, my mother got the Crabs and they were fabulous (especially the Northeast dungeness crab!) So I think it really depends on what you order. TL;DR: Skip the Snapper, get the Northeast dungeness crabs.

Michael E.

Tourist attraction restaurant trying to impersonate a classy restaurant. Doesn't fool me. We found the drinks to be watered down and over priced. Ate there a couple of times hoping for a good experience but it's just not there. Service is acceptable but food is not very memorable but over priced for sure. The problem is if you go here you probably won't be back for at least a year so it appears that they don't care to impress you because they only get one shot at getting into your wallet. Took three visits but we learned our lesson

The service was AMAZING. We had reservations at 10pm but my little boy was starving at 9pm so we decided to take a chance to see if they can get us a table. And they were able too! Our waiter, Michael was awesome and made our dining experience that much better. Their foods wasn't exceptional or anything spectacular, and if you are on the Disney dining plan they do take 2 credits. But if you want to get seafood then this place will do just fine.

There never seems to be any reservation spots left every time I try to come here. Usually I just give up since I'm with a bigger group but this time it was only my sister and me. We decided to just do a walk in and was told there was an hour wait. We arrived around 7:30 on a Friday night during the Disney Wine and Dine Half Marathon weekend. We decided to wait at the bar and they'll text you when your table is ready. So while waiting at the bar, my sister ordered a strawberry cheesecake martini and I ordered a lemon sweet tea smash. Both drinks were delicious! When my sister and u got seated, our server brought us a bread basket with butter and a platter if crackers and a crab spread. That crab spread was sooooo tasty. We smothered our bread and crackers with it. We order the lobster corndogs for an appetizer. Oh man, they were probably the best thing we had all night. Just think, whole lobster tails battered and deep-fried. How could you not love it? We also had a half dozen raw oysters. They were nice and fresh. My sister ordered the jumbo crab cake for her entree and I ordered their crab duet. We were both pretty satisfied with our meal. I would've loved to have gotten more butter for my crabs but it was probably a good thing I didn't have more. LOL. So why the 4 stars and not 5? The only downsides: it was way too dim where we were sitting. I get that they wanted to set the mood for eating and stuff but I could barely see my food, much less have enough light to take pictures if my food. Also, service was a little slow. I don't like having to wait more than a couple minutes for my water refill or extra napkins.

I confess my disappointment. My wife was very happy with her meal ( snow crabs) ,but alas, I had the jambalaya which wasn't remotely as good as the jambalaya I had at our local small hospital cafeteria 2 weeks before. Fulton's jambalaya was much less hearty and primarily consisted of rice-- which of course is an inexpensive filler. The hospital food was shockingly also better seasoned. Given the difference in the food and price of the 2 dishes-- $6 vs $34-- I left feeling both disappointed and ripped-off. Maybe I should have left them the phone # of our hospital cafeteria.

I think most of the negative reviews are based on service. There was a long line waiting to dine, and the bar was full. When I got a seat at the bar, the bartender took too long to acknowledge me or clear the previous persons dishes. Once he responded, he was busy, but attentive-my water glass was kept full (and I drink a lot of water). I overheard him say he's working a double, and while he could be quicker to acknowledge folks, I think ppl should cut him (and the other staff) some slack. It's a resort restaurant. It's going to be busy and slow. Plus everyone is ordering multi step drinks. They should add a bar back or another bartender. That being said, the food was quite good. They have a half and half lunch special and I had the oyster poboy and clam chowder. The folks next to me had the grouper, which looked delicious and fresh and the tuna lettuce wraps.

I always make sure we eat at a place several times and I can say even after only two times it is pretty consistent. The wait staff is average, not bad just not what it could be. Room for improvement everywhere. Personality hire someone with that please. For is pretty damn good but seriously you can't mess up seafood that much more than over cook it and they haven't disappointed with that yet. Don't go without a reservation you won't get In. Food makes up for a lot of their mistakes very much worth it!

Yesi T.

If I could describe this place in two words it would be...OVERPRICED & OVERRATED! I don't know why anyone would come to eat here and order crab legs when you can go to Cape May Cafe and eat unlimited crab legs and an array of other seafood items that are all you can eat. I ordered the shrimp scampi pasta and it tasted good but nothing out of this world. The portion was tiny for the $28.76 price tag. I expected more and left disappointed. They really need to lower their prices! The waitress was nice, but she left me sitting there without a refill and she wasn't even the one to bring out my food. I WILL NOT BE BACK.

Christina M.

I highly recommend this place for those on the Disney dining plan, particularly the deluxe plan since it takes two credits per person. My husband and I had a reservation and were seated right away and got excellent service. Our server Maria was very friendly, professional, and anticipated any need we might have. We are young so we don't always get the best service but she was amazing. The food was some of the best from our whole week at Disney!

Hobert H.

Ate here for my anniversary. Was seated promptly and waitstaff was quick and courteous. Prices a little on the high side, but worth it for the experience. Maine Lobster was great as well as the king crab, but how hard is it to mess those up. Overall the service and food was magnificent and I would recommend this to anyone.

Cale G.

I hate seafood. At least that's what I tell myself and others. The wife and I were honeymooning in the Disney area and met up with local family and they recommended Fultons. I explained my hatred for aquatic edibles but alas...I found my butt parked in a "seaside" (lake?) high-top and a Stella in front of me before I could talk more about hating Nemo. The first thing you may notice is that you're in a boat. The next thing you may notice is that the staff is CRANKY. The host area was filled with 7-10 staff members (?) at lunch time and the place was empty. They all were grumpy pants and I'm not sure why. Blessed be the fish gods that our particular server was stellar in attitude, recommendations and service. Thanks Beau! Our family members recommended the Florida Grouper. I chose to have this fish taco-style. It pretty much was the best decision I have made in at least 2 hours. It came blackened. Just enough per the recommendation from our server. I tasted no fish, I just tasted some slappin' good tacos. I didn't talk much after my first bite because I believe if I eat quickly I can taste it faster. These tacos had fresh everything in them and all flavors came together perfectly. Would. Order. Again. Aside from the grumps we initially encountered, our server saved the day (and this review) along with the food itself. It was a pleasurable Florida experience and I will return someday.

I was so excited to eat here! Went there for lunch on a Wednesday. Can be a little pricey so be prepared to spend some money. I had the lobster grill cheese which was around $20. It was very good and did have a good amount of lobster inside. It came with seasoned fries which were good as well! My husband ordered a burger that had to be sent back because it was not cooked to the temperature he wanted. Service was extremely slow-took over 40 minutes to get our food so that is mainly why I gave three stars. I would definitely go back and hope for better results. It is worth a try-food and scenery was nice!

Cathy M.

Ughh!!! Don't do it!! My experience in a crab shell: 1. Lobster bisque had no lobster. 2. Crab cakes were eh. 3. Muscles were empty!!! 4. The very expensive Alaskan King Crab was cold and soggy and they served it with no tools. 5. By the end of the meal, three of us had violent diarrhea!!! 6. To top it off, I vomited when I got back to my hotel. Thanks Fulton's for ruining my last night in Disney!

T S.

Really didn't get to eat. They had almost a two hour wait. We sat at the bar, had a appetizer two, drinks and a sprite. That was $40 before tip. Ridiculously over priced. It. Is Ala Carte. The atmosphere is very nice and casual. They take your phone number and call you when your table is ready. We ended up going somewhere ekse.

Joshua Y.

I am updating my review from earlier. I was able to finally make my reservation on the day of a few hours before for a convenient time (7:30). Glad I did because I overheard the wait time was an hour and a half. The server we had more than redeemed my opinion of this place and the food was amazing! We had Michelle and she just opened up with great personality and service. She seemed to effortlessly handle our order and the few other tables with efficiency and timeliness. Little wait times for bread and drinks. We both ordered the Alaskan King Crab. Little to complain of here, the only thing was the crab legs were very sharp, I love crab legs and eat them frequently, but these were extra sharp. Maybe a tiny fork or scissors would have helped. The corn and potatoes were just the right portions. Again throughout the meal Michelle was attentive without being overbearing, getting refills and checking on the food. I would definitely return but will deal with reservations the day of. I did receive correspondence with the manager for the long hold situation and appreciate the follow up.

Lauren G.

I think I will honestly have nightmares about this place. At first the decor is enchanting and inviting, I mean, we're on a boat! I ordered the clams and linguine, which I know is bad because I have another restaurant which had clams and linguine that are my favorite and I think all other will just fall short of my expectations of that favorite. I guess the pasta was cooked al dente because it was a little hard and undercooked, the flavor wasn't bad, but when I opened one of the clams, it was black and smelled disgusting!!! I immediately lost my appetite. The manager came up and apologized. Also, I ordered calamari as an appetizer that was not cooked thoroughly. No one else in my family enjoyed their meals either. My daughter got Mac and cheese which she said was flavorless and they wouldn't let her choose a side, which to me, Mac and cheese is a side in itself. Just ridiculous. They only charged us for two dinner credits, instead of the four they were supposed to, but I don't think that was enough for how horrible the whole experience was.

Sloppy service Great crab cake Ridiculous lobster brusque Great grilled snapper Sub par lobster ravioli

Lindsey E.

Our first day at Disney we made reservations at Fultons Crab House. It's in downtown Disney which is a busy place! When we arrived we were about a half hour early but seated right away. Service was great... Friendly and prompt. Food was ok... Not worth the outrageous prices. It was $140 for our family of four and we didn't get appetizers. And both kids ordered from the kid menu even though they could have eaten adult portions.

Sarah C.

Margarita was sickeningly sweet, and Floridian grouper wasn't awesome either... Definitely won't eat there again.

Justin O.

I don't think I can recommend this based on my experience. In short - food was average or even below expectations, service was subpar, and the kids everywhere (even at night) are annoying as sh!t. The loooong: Meal: Lobster Mac should be renamed to just "Mac". Narragansett lobster is a lie. I have lived in New England for 2+ years and eaten many a lobster. The Disney version includes negligible flavor soaked in nasty watery butter. 2/5. The waiter was barely there any when he walked by he dropped light items such as other people's receipts and napkins on our group (not pleasant). Finally - maybe you need to ask for special "upper level" seating but the kid to adult ratio (and I apply the term adult generously) was appalling around 2:1. This allows kids bumping around against your back as they squirrel around behind you and creates a general ambience of squeals and nonsense. Maybe this is good if you like daycare but I was here to eat. Bottom line: go get a funnel cake.

Deena W.

Was just ok with the food, the service was great. I was actually appalled that the restaurant allowed a non service animal into the restaurant in a flipping dog stroller ... The staff said they had documentation, but the animal had no vestt and I am absolutely sure it was probably one of the horrific printed off Internet versions!!!! And when asked the main desk could have cared less ~ after spending $150+ on meals I would have been more vocal had they sat this group beside us!!!!

Mitchell D.

This place was AMAZING! The food and our waiter made it well worth the $$. We were on the Deluxe Disney Dining Plan and made WELL use of it. Calamari and Muscles for dessert. Both were awesome! Entrees were Alaskan King Crab Legs and Maine Lobster Bake. OMG. Such amazing food and you def got what you paid for. Our server was Kevin from Detroit, MI. He was awesome! Showed us how to get the meat out of the crab and lobsters. Pretty cool! 2nd favorite meal of our week long trip to Disney!

Natasha T.

The atmosphere was amazing and service was great. The food was lacking though in flavor. For the amount you pay, the portions were good but unfortunately the food was not. The drinks were completely watered down and after 3 long island ice tea's, I was completely sober.

Julia B.

Awful service, overpriced. Lobster corn dogs were greasy like fair food. Crab cake was in a pool of grease. Steaks were burnt like charcoal. Chocolate creme brûlée was more like warm pudding. Huge disappointment. Will not go back or recommend.

Heidi W.

Went here with my Mom last month & LOVED IT!!! Ask to sit in Michelle's section, she works by the lounge area. She truly made our dinner AMAZING!! BEST SERVICE ever, food was incredible & you gotta try their new local orange beer on tap. Can't wait to go back next year!!

Melody O.

Always amazing food!! You have your choice of seafood, fish and delicious meats!! There is an array of appetizers and desserts! The wine menu is wonderful! Constantly changing with the season!

Lex W.

I love the concept of this restaurant. Located in Downtown Disney, this ferry-in-the-water restaurant is too cool. It is huge on the inside. We came here for a staff dinner and made reservations ahead of time. Once inside our wait was about 5 or so minutes. Easy-breezy. This is a high-priced, high-quality restaurant, so come prepared to spend money. It'll be worth it, however. :-) Three of us ordered the florida grouper with mango salsa and a tomato/artichoke saute on the side; two ordered the halibut with risotto, and one ordered the salmon with butternut squash puree. For sides we ordered asparagus, lobster mac and cheese, and mashed potatoes. For our appetizers we ordered the lobster corn dogs. Complimentary bread and butter is served as well. The highlights: halibut and risotto, the mashed potatoes, the lobster mac and cheese, and the grouper itself (minus the artichokes, there were too many). It did take time for them to bring out our entrees, but as we were in a chatty mood, the wait was bearable. The ambiance is lovely. The tables are covered in white, and the walls and chairs are dark mahogany. The servers are dressed in chef jackets and are very friendly, and bring out warm, damp cloths after you eat so that you can clean your hands. I would ABSOLUTELY return to Fulton's Crab House. :-)

Ben M.

Wanting something on a higher end versus T-Rex we chose Fulton's and were promptly seated, with our window request acknowledged. Here we sat in the section of Michelle P. who was attentive, informative, and had a great smile. The food was excellent and filling and it remains a staple at downtown Disney. Their signature spread sets your dinner on the right course as you await what other recipes are heading your way. They make many of their sauces in house and the ones we encountered were excellent (including hoison with the calamari and the spicy Crawfish sauce with the ravioli). Choose it if you can afford it and let it be a nice night out even when in the middle of such a tourist location. But don't feel you've missed out if you can't, the price is a bit much... But when you are a staple that comes with the territory.

Judy Z.

I like this place, except the receptionist told us we have to wait 50 min, yet we got the text that the table is ready in 15 min, when we already sat at the bar ( starving after long from 5 hr flight). I had the lobster bisque and jambalaya, both taste good. I do think the price is little high, but it is a tourist place. The summer sangria was nice, but taste more like juice than sangria.

Yuleidy K.

This is one of my favorite places to come eat when at Disney. They are a little pricey, but I've never been disappointed with anything I've had. The salads are big enough to split between two people and the entrees are a nice size. Definitely a must try when at Downtown Disney.

S B.

They were super busy so I found a seat at the bar! Bar tenders were attentive & hospitable! Bloody Mary's are excellent, seafood was fresh,delicious & plentiful! Service was very promp! I'll be back!

Restaurants by the theme parks like this are always a hit or miss. For my family and the future in laws Fulton Crab House was a hit. Not a home run, but definitely a hit. We came on Christmas day... and to my surprise there was not too long of a wait. I think we only waited for about five minutes to be seated. We started off with calamari, lobster corndogs, and the seafood tower for four. The calamari was pretty standard, although I did get a few bites where it was just batter and no calamari. No big deal. Lobster corndogs were interesting. Everyone at the table really enjoyed them. It's basically battered and fried lobster on a stick. Comes with sweet thai chilli sauce and a salsa verde. The meat was tender and very moist. Now onto the good stuff... seafood tower! My future in laws don't eat anything raw, so there were plenty of raw stuff to go around for the other five people at the table. Everything on the seafood tower was served perfectly chilled. Everything but the plate of lump crab was really good. The lump crab just did not seem to be very fresh, the texture of lump crab meat felt like it came out of a can. That is just my opinion... whether it is true or not.. only Fulton's knows that. Anyways, the Alaskan King Crab was a nice serving... all seven people got a nice portion. The meat was sweet and just the right amount of saltiness. The oysters were really good. Chilled, plump, and juicy. Most of everyone at our table either got a Poboy or lobster/shrimp roll for their entrees. My mom and I got fish tacos and lobster ravioli respectively. My mom didn't like the fish tacos, they seemed to be too soggy. My lobster ravioli was good, but just a tad on the salty side. I tried a bit of my fiancee's lobster bisque and it was not very good at all. It was just way way way too thick for a lobster bisque. Besides that everyone that ordered the clam chowder really enjoyed it. Oh and... if you like bloody mary's order one. They are delicious and is served in a Mason jar with two shrimp and olives as a garnish. Overall, it was a good meal.

Tati D.

Had dinner here with my family after a great experience at Disney Cruise Line. All of our entrées were cold when brought to the table. The waiter was rude. Manager was very nice. Would never come back

Kate S.

Go for the atmosphere, the lobster bisque topped w/ fresh crab and the lobster grilled cheese. The dinners are very overpriced for what you get. You are paying for Downtown Disney and the experience on the boat. It was quiet when we went. I know it sounds crazy but because it was dead, the waiter was over attentive. I couldn't get two words out to my partner because the waiter kept interrupting. I guess it could have been worse and he could have disappeared. The nice thing was the waiter encouraged to walk upstairs and around the ship after our meal. That was nice. I added a salad to my meal-it was horrible. Pre packaged/diced tomatoes and yucky lettuce. Don't do the salad. I have pics of the ENORMOUS LOBSTER GRILLED CHEESE on my phone I'll have to upload later. It's a $20 sandwich served w/ fries and worth every penny. It's FULL OF LOBSTER! A real treat for lunch!

Austin S.

I apologize for the length of this review ahead of time. I made reservations for 5:30 today and I was super excited! I am a notorious seafood hater, but my husband is head over heels for it. I decided to surprise him because this place is supposed to be fairly fancy or so I thought. We went in and had to wait in line to confirm the reservation. I went to the bathroom and by the time that I came back 2 minutes later, my mom was in the front of the line and we were about to be seated so that was really exciting. The decor and boat/nautical theme is really cool which is where the 1 star comes from! I am a nautical fan so YES! I usually have high reviews, but not for this place! Our server was named Arunas and I thought he was going to be great because the people next to us were super happy with him. I wanted to like him because he is an older guy. It took 15 minutes to get drinks, but the bread came at least along with crackers and crab dip. My husband had to flag him down to get my coke. My aunt ordered the crab cake, my mom had a large house salad, my husband had a big market boil, and I had the NY strip. He said "medium rare" and I asked for it to be well done and I got an evil glare. I asked for it to be without onions and mushrooms then I got an eye roll. A baked potato came with. Our food took awhile but it was fine because my steaks take forever and the conversation was great. My soda ran out before the food got there and I never got a refill. Our waiter had 3 tables and none of us could get a refill. I asked for butter for the baked potato and it never came- we had to flag a bartender who was pissy that we asked him for butter. My husband gave me his soda because he felt bad. My steak came with the mushrooms and onions that I specifically said that I didn't want! I just didn't want to wait another 40 minutes. The steak was juicy still and tender, but I could taste oniony mushroom flavor despite scraping it off. I was pissed off at this point and he seemed nonchalant. He never stayed more than a few seconds at our table. After finishing food, idk of they have dessert because it wasn't offered. He asked openly if we wanted to split the bill without asking how we wanted it split. We waited 20 minutes and no bill or show. I walked to the front to get a manager to print the bill which pissed me off too. I said screw it and wanted to leave. I spent $162 for our table and that service was crap. I still tipped 37 bucks because I felt bad because he was old. Normally, I tip 40-50% for great service, but I was really upset about this great dinner that turned to turnips pretty fast. The food was pretty good, but that service? I get better at T-Rex, Rose & Crown in Epcot, or even McDonald's.......seriously.

Linda S.

Don't know why Fulton's Crab House reviews are not favorable as we had one of the best lunches ever! My husband had the blackened grouper sandwich which he raved about and said it was the best he's ever had. The grouper was seasoned and prepared excellently and best of all, not over cooked. I had the 1/2 chicken ciabatta sandwich and lobster bisque. The sandwich was well seasoned and the chicken was juicy. The soup however could have more lobster in it. Our waiter, Adam was friendly and attentive! We'll be back!

Mindy D.

Great food and service. Calamari and Florida Grouper are wonderful. Pricey, but worth it for a good meal.

Nicole T.

What can I say. The two stars only reflect the food. It was the saving grace for our entire experience. #1- 1.5 hour wait time... Not bad we thought gives us time to walk around and do some shopping. They take our phone number send us a pre-text that has a link to download an app to keep track of where we were in line. So we downloaded the app, since that's what the text told us to do. We look at the app and it tells us we still have 45-60 mins left...ok we keep shopping another 45 mins go by and we check the app... It says 60-75 mins???? I'm confused. We walk back tot he restaurant only to be told by the hostess that we shouldn't use the app cause she doesn't put our info in there. Ok??? Then she proceeds to tell us 15 more minutes. Ok. We walk in the restaurant to be greeted by the manager. We were able to get seated but I felt they placed us in the back of the restaurant by the bathrooms in a hallway where people use to enter and exit. But maybe that's just my imagination. Moral of the story- for the amount of money we paid the device should have been up to par. It failed miserably. It's ok, we learned our lesson next time we will not eat on a Disney property.

R G.

Third time we've been there and even after 4 years it's still worth visiting while at DisneyWorld. I love the cracker spread and the seafood is delish. Must try at least once.

Lydia D.

I really expected more for the money but it wasn't terrible. Fish tacos: A Beef Tenderloin kebabs: B (great flavor but very rare, almost blue) Lobster bisque: C (barely any lump crab as stated on the menu) Fried seafood sampler platter: B- (standard, nothing special for the high price point) The decor was very dated as were the bathrooms which seemed highly worn!!

Steven A.

Dear lord if I could only tell the entire story of how hard it was to get to downtown Disney and dinner at Fulton's. Let's just say we came from Epcot and took one of the Disney busses to a hotel and after getting lost and walking along the shore we finally got here. I must say at the end of the day it was definitely worth it. We ordered the ultimate crab experience perhaps because it sounded good or because it was just fun to say. We were not disappointed though, it was really good and next time we go to downtown Disney we'll just drive in our car

W. M.

This restaurant provided the best part of our day at Disney. It is a little pricey, but worth the expense and meals can easily be shared. We had two people in our party with food allergies, and the staff could not be more accommodating. Our server, Alison, was gracious and thoughtful, anticipating our every need; kudos to her and to Chef Chris, who personally visited our table to help us find safe foods for special diets (jambalaya made to order, salt crusted potatoes). The food was delicious, especially the grouper and the refreshing ahi tuna lettuce cups and the lovely crab legs. Overall, a delightful experience that left us ready for our return to the park.

Matt J.

Tried to get in last Wednesday night but they were booked. Chose to schedule a dinner reservation through the Disney experience mobile app for the following Friday (tonight). When scheduling the reservation it says you can be charged a penalty if you don't show up or "if you don't cancel within the allotted time period." However, you aren't told what the policy is before you confirm. Nor is it explained in the confirmation email. When we needed to cancel the morning of the reservation, we were charged $10 per person to cancel ($40) because all cancellations not made the day prior were subject to this charge. They will have NO PROBLEM filling our table with other paying guests on a Friday night AND they charge me $40 for the reservation cancellation because "this is the new policy, sir." I wish I'd have read the reviews sooner, I would have never made a reservation in the first place. I also won't be eating at any other Disney resort tonight and will leave the resort for dinner just out of principle. This is a terrible policy coupled with a horrible lack of communication. Why is Disney even in business with this place? This was not a Disney style experience.

T S.

The quality of the meals were bad, especially considering the amount of money they charge. I had the special, which was $39.99, for a piece of red fish covered in a gravy, served over a rice that tasted like it came from a box. The server was nice, that was the only plus. Spend your money elsewhere...

Dennis R.

Just had an amazing experience. The food was wonderful and the service was over the top great. Our server, Vanessa, knows customer service and takes it to a new level. Highly recommend the food and ask for Vanessa. You will not be sorry

LaDonna F.

The absolute best steak and crab legs I've had in a very long time. The steak was so tender that I could cut it with a butter knife. The flavor was amazing. Also, my youngest son is gluten free and they modified his order to perfection. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Our waiter was fantastic. He had a great time with the kids and even did a few magic tricks for them.

Leslie B.

Food was ok, service was good. Bartenders were awful. No personality, we sat down and sat with previous customers dirty dishes in front of us for 15 minutes, everyone looked at them, no one cleared them or asked if we wanted a drink. Bathrooms are gross. At these prices I think they could afford some less tacky decorations, fixtures from this century that don't have brown crud around them, which looked like it could have been cleaned off if anyone cares enough too. Toilet seat was hanging on (sideways) by a thread. Clearly money is being taken in but not being reinvested into this restaurant.

Stacey K.

Fulton's is that impressive looking restaurant on a boat in Downtown Disney, lit up and trimmed with pretty lights. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) I had high expectations for this restaurant; unfortunately, they under-delivered. We walked by this display of seafood on the way to the bar and it didn't look too fresh.. unless lobsters are supposed to be black. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ). The bar wasn't too big, but they did have cute decor. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) We ordered a couple drinks and the Seafood Tower while we waited to be seated ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ). The tower looked better than it tasted-- the lobsters and crab were a bit difficult to peel/open, and the shrimp didn't taste very fresh. The skin was a bit difficult to peel and there were some black spots on my shrimp. The oysters were alright; definitely not the freshest and I also had a few shell pieces in mine. I love seafood and hate to waste food, so ate as much as I could anyways. I checked in on the Foursquare app on my phone and we we were given a free appetizer, so we chose the calamari. The breading was light and crisp, and I liked how there was a bit spice in the seasoning -- they also fry up a couple peppers, yum! ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) For the main course, I decided to go with the Whole Grilled Key West Yellowtail Snapper, which is charcoal grilled, served with a mango infused vinaigrette, arugula salad. I love whole grilled fish because you get to eat the cheeks and the fish itself is always much more flavorful. The fish was good, but I think it was overcooked because the texture was a bit mushy for me. I think the fish itself could have used more seasoning/flavor, or even stuffed with herbs. The mango infused salad paired great with the fish. It added freshness and flavor without overpowering the dish. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) My friend ordered the Seafood Ciopinno, which was my second choice. I'm used to ciopinno being more soupy, and this one looked more like a stew because there wasn't much broth -- but still tasty! ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) We shared a bottle of the 2011 Sancerre, a nice cab that paired nicely with all of our seafood entrees. ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) Dessert time! I ordered the Raspberry and Mango Sorbetto -- light and refreshing! This was a nice palette cleanser after all that seafood. Served with a few slices of fresh strawberry and raspberry, I felt no guilt after devouring this! I tried some of the Key Lime Pie my friend ordered and wow. this might be better than my sorbet! If you love tart desserts that still have some sweetness, this is the dessert for you! ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ) ( yelp.com/biz_photos/fult… ). I wouldn't recommend Fulton's for your to-go spot for fresh seafood, but I'd come back for desserts or appetizers if I'm in the area.

Veronica R.

My whole life since I've been a teen I have wanted to eat here! Well when I finally went there wasn't much to see. The food I picked was pretty good but I still felt hungry for the price I paid (even with bread and crackers). My boyfriend got the swordfish and it was the smallest dish he could of had! Don't get me wrong he liked the taste it just left him hungry and wanting more to order. The overall price for the place just wasn't worth it. If they had added a soup or salad for what we paid then it would of passed. Also our waiter was born where Dracula originated. Creepy.

Richard K.

SUPER SALTY !!! We ordered three appetizers one salad eight entrees and only the salad and one entree are not SUPER SALTY !!! The irony is the illy coffee they served has no taste !!! Makes Red Lobster sound Sooooo Good !!!

When you come here, Go to the BAR Ask for Brennan Hands down, BEST bartender I've ever had. Whats ever on the menu, he can do it 10x better. This guy knows what he's doing. I can't speak for the food, because I didn't eat. But this bartender, the drinks- I'll be back! Merry Christmas!!

The crab bisque was mostly corn. Way overpriced for the quality .. even for Disney. The service and atmosphere was very good .

I come here for filet mignon or bone in new york sirlon every time I come to disney. Even though the steaks my boyfriend and I ordered medium rare were a little more on the rare side I really can't complain. The bread is delicious as is the NY strip. .. seasoned perfectly and complimented my cab Sav that arrived quickly and repeatedly lol. I like the ambiance although it smells kinda funny, I'm comforted by the fact it's always smelled that way... since I was a kid and it was called something else. My boyfriend can complain... he was very unimpressed and wanted to give 2 stars... he said his dozen oysters weren't the freshest and he can't get passed the undercooked filet he ordered. He said if it was cooked right it would have been amazing with how it was seasoned. The waiter was cool and I wasn't mad about it.

Another spot where I would recommend sticking to appetizers and soup. We loved the lobster corn dogs. We shared them with the table and they were quickly gobbled up. Although they weren't a true "corndog", they were batter dipped in cornmeal and deep fried - close enough The dipping sauces were good, too. The New England Clam Chowder was tasty. It wasn't too salty or too thick. I enjoyed it. We got the fish and chips and they were not that great. They were overdone and extremely greasy. The oil definitely overpowered the fish flavor. The service was great. They helped us choose some good menu items and never disappeared for too long. If limited to Downtown Disney I would stick to soup and appetizers here.

Our waiter was very good. However the food was not as good as we were expecting. The shrimp scampi had no garlic and was very salty. The fried scallops were not very good. Calamari was good and the clam chowder....not much taste. Cocktails were the only good thing. Hate giving a bad review, but how will they know if we don't tell them the truth. 2.5 rating.

Carla M.

We had Fish Tacos (it was spicy to the non-spicy pallet) I had a house salad, delicious! The Martinis were awesome.. Kudos to the bartender.. Our dinner was great! Jesse (Colts fan "Jesse") was a great waiter! Despite the other "Yelp" reviews that were less than desirable, great food/great service. I LOVED the lemon towels! Well.. Lemon napkins (still good quality napkins!) give it a try!

Glenda C.

The food was delicious and the service was great. I had the grouper sandwich and my husband had the hamburger. Service by Jon: 5 stars out of 5 Price: a bit on the pricey side. 1 star Quality of food: three stars Atmosphere: 3 stars

Hands down one of the top 4 worst restaurants in my life! Like many I thought, "OHHH higher price.. nice decor..specializes in seafood... must be great!" I could not have been more wrong. I have had better seafood from 7-11, not to mention T-rex or the Rainforest Cafe - both of which serve fantastic Salmon for half the price a few hundred yards away. Don't be fooled by the prices and the nice decor of an old boat.. everything from the their crab cakes and tuna entree's to the main courses were so terrible that we literally left our food barely touched and begrudgingly paid the bill and went to Rainforest Cafe across the way to eat some very good food. Furthermore, the severs are very creepy!!! They all have been taught to say the exact same things... you can hear the servers on the other tables say exactly (word for word) what our server told us. And what they have been taught to say, like "that is a best seller!" not.. That item taste great! It is not only robotic and unnatural it is very irritating and fake! Who ever is in charge of training the server's needs to work in a different line of employment. Last thing! They served the salmon, Half Cooked - meaning the bottom is UNCOOKED!. Now, I love sushi, and I love cooked Salmon even more. But half cooked salmon as a style "its our signature style, said the server" is noxious and disgusting! The bottom half was wet even like it had been defrosted. AND THIS IS THEY WAY THEY ALWAYS SERVE IT? And come-on...how can they screw up crab cakes soo badly and then charge SOOOO much for them? Have they never been to another restaurant? Say Claim Jumper for example, a steak focused restaurant which serves amazing crab cakes. These crab cakes at this rip off of a restaurant were so bad I have not been able to order them since from any resturant! How on earth can a restaurant that specializes, only serves, seafood serve the worst seafood I have ever had? YES, the seafood at T-Rex and Rainforest is 1000x times better - don't be fold by the prices and decor.

Marissa C.

My party consisted of 14 nurses visiting from NY. We were not aware that we needed a reservation. We went in and decided that we would break the party into 3 consisting of 5, 5 and 4 persons. The wait time was 70- 90 mins. Needless to say, they took our phone numbers and said they would text us when the table was ready. It's been 2 days, no text to say there will be no table. That to me was very unprofessional. Will I go back there? NEVER... There is now a sour taste in my mouth for the Crab House.

Melissa A.

Great food and great service. Loved the crackers and dip and also enjoyed the Florida grouper. So refreshing. Also really liked the crab cake app.

Nick S.

And we have a winner!!! For the worst restaurant I've been to so far. As a chef restaurants typically leave us and well any one in one of two states.The first being culinary pride, which is when the experience leaves you saying wow I am so glad to be a part of this, good for them, this is great and so on and so forth. Then of course there' culinary shame, which is when you cannot help but say really? Is this food? No please stop and feel awful and ashamed often depressed. This place left me in a deep. deep state of culinary shame Now as I walked into the establishment I had high hopes, Before you walk onto the"pier" (for those that don't know Fulton's is designed as a large boat/yacht.) there is a very New Orleans style feel with the swankiest of sax players just doing his thing and as much as I would have loved to enjoy the jazz what I though would be a great expernce would turn out to be te exact opposite. The first thing that struck me as odd and dampened my experience was our reservation, I had made a reservation by phone earlier and even got confirmation. However when I walked in I practically received blank stares. Having worked at Disney and eating there often I had never experienced this at other restaurants. They handed me a timer which was to buzz when our table was ready, despite having a reservation. Then after waiting several minutes it did buzz which I handed it to them however the received like I was working there or something and continued to wait. When I finally I had to but in to whatever gossip was being had which I hate doing being part of the business myself. Now as much as sitting down at a table should've helped, the horrible service and by service I mean waiter only made it worse. Our waiter who was either on some sort of medication or way past retirement. From taking our orders to refilling orders and everything inbetwen it was completely bizarre. We actually had to refill our waters yourself first time that's ever happened. When my mother ordered no garlic, he went back to the kitchen bringing out the chef and through and extravagant process explained the menu treating it like a deathly allergy. What should have been shrimp and grits without garlic was not in anyway. The entire night and experience was thrown off because of poorly executed service by someone clearly not in the right position. The food... You would think the food would be the saving grace or glimmer of hope place in a place that was such a disaster but this was not the case. As mentioned despite attempting to to order shrimp and grits instead my mother received what was essentially a plate with some asparagus and shrimp on it not too appetizing. My sister's clam chowder was fine nothing amazing nor atrocious. The calamari we shared was cooked well, crispy and tender but lacking seasoning and a strange tabasco like sauce. My crab cakes were nothing more than crab cakes, very little of that essential crust that makes a crab cake desirable, and served with creamed corn a bizarre combination.In addition I've heard the fresh seafood is often cold or frozen. As much as I wanted to like this place based on the Jazz and idea of plentiful seafood, there was no possibility due to each moment being as bad if not worse than the last.

Amy G.

Very pleased with the service while dining Thanksgiving Day. We had four adults and four kids, one with a peanut allergy. The waiter was most accommodating for this concern. This is a very nice restaurant!

Ben S.

I went here as part of a private party so we had the upper room. The deck surrounding it has great views of the downtown Disney area other restaurants and attractions. The party room that we had was for about 28 seated guests and was at the rear of the "boat" that is Fultons Crab Shack. The server attending to just us was nice but moved at one pace. I thought the first salad course - since the party guests weren't given a choice - would have been ready sooner upon our arrival. I ordered a steak which was very good. There was no special sauce on top it but it had a great flavour and tenderness all on its own. Definitely take the time to walk around and take pictures if the party deck is unoccupied. Also note that owning to current construction you can't drop people off in front of the restaurant.

Krista W.

so disappointed with the entire experience except for their accommodation to our 20 minute late arrival, which I called to inform them of as our Disney bus was late (as usual) We were seated promptly amd then it went downhill. We had a very nice server. We had two kids with us and after sitting with our drinks for 35 minutes our Alaskan king crab arrived (with no tools) but our appetizers had not. We asked about our aps and they came out 5 minutes later. There wasn't really room for this much food on the table and it was very hard to share. They didnt bring us tools for the crab so we had to ask for those too. We reveived zero refills on our lemonade and water. By the end if dessert every ice chip was gone. I also had to ask for hot towels to clean our hands...I mean we are all 4 eating crab so clearly we need this. Finally my husband's dessert order was wrong...they brought him a children's sunday. The crab was okay but nothing special. We have crab at home a few times a year and most recently purchased it from aldi. The aldi crab was sweeter and much better prepared by me. If you want a good Disney experience try somewhere else..perhaps Flying Fish.

Brian C.

Everytime i get to the Disney area, i always plan a supper at Downtown Disney's Crab House. Located on an old steam boat the decor and ambiance is fantastic. Overlooking the water in the bay of downtown Disney, just spectacular at night with all the neon lights. You have to try the Crab... took the Tower Seafood starter (for 2), an awesome mix of crab legs, oysters and shrimp. The crab legs were the best i have ever had. For the main dish i had a pound of the Crab Claws - and again, awesome. We split a keylime pie for desert, was ok, but admit i was pretty full from all that CRAB! Always good to have a supplier take you there and pickup the tab!

Bob J.

Excellent seafood. The Crab Claws are amazing and Seafood Tower appetizer is a great starter. Also crab dip served with the sesame crackers is outstanding. Ask your waiter for the recipe; they will give it to you.

Joy B.

Our group had 6pm reservations but we waited 35 minutes for our table. We then waited another 45 minutes for crackers and butter - not even our appetizers yet. No one has taken our dinner order and one person in our group never received their Coke. Terrible service!

Asheley W.

Best dinner we've had in a long time! We were a part of 4 for Christmas Day dinner. There was an hour wait for a table so we sat at the bar until our names were called. We were brought to a table in the bar area by a window. Great ambiance and seemed much quieter than the rest of the restaurant (less kids). Our server Jennifer was outstanding. We had mussels and calamari to start - both delicious. Then clam chowder and crab and corn chowder. Also amazing. And for entrees we had swordfish and the Florida grouper special. My brother had the chicken gnocchi and while it was good, he regretted not getting the special. This place is very expensive but we were happy to pay for great food and great service.

Candace W.

I hardly ever give 1 star so let me explain..... I went on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. Now, yes I understand you're sacrificing great service with a large party but sheesh. The appetizers were very small portions, barely enough to share. We had calamari, fish tacos, and beef skewers none of which are memorable. The lobster bisque was well below average. The crab cakes served with a fried green tomato and corn, where to start. The crab cake did not taste fresh, lacked flavor and had more filler than meat. The fried green tomato was cold and the corn was extremely over cooked. I don't know if I was more disappointed in the expectation or that I spent 55 bucks on terrible food. Overall: Don't go, too expensive for the poor quality.

Daniel U.

When my party of four arrived they sent us to a table that only had 3 chairs and yes I made a reservation. Waiter forgot two side dishes that my party ordered. I also ordered salmon with guacamole but when I received the order there was no guacamole. The final bill came out to about $50 per person. The food was relatively good but after considering everything I would not recommend going here.

Jillian K.

2 adults and a 10y/o young lady. Mussels, Crab Cake, Ahi Tuna appetizers were all very good. The child portion Filet was cooked perfectly. The flourless chocolate desert quite tasty. Start with a cocktail at the bar while you wait to be seated. I would return. Amanda provided us with awesome service!

Madeline Y.

I went for lunch on a Saturday and had the New Clam Chowder Soup. My meal was delicious and tasty. The services was slow getting our meals out but the waiter was very nice and polite.

Vanessa A.

Not worth the wait. The wait was 75 minutes. No real place to wait. The food was so so. The lobster bisque tasted more like tomato soup. The crab claws were very cold and bland. The server was obviously tired and tried to rush us out picking up the book with receipt before we finished our meal. Total tourist trap.

Andrea H.

I had family in town with 2 children. They wanted to eat at Downtown Disney. On a Saturday night. With no reservations. During the summer. Sigh. I called and luckily Fulton's had a reservation for 8pm. I made it, but wasn't sure it would be kid friendly. But my family was good with trying it. And the girls loved it! We started off with the Lobster Corn Dogs since the hubby loves corn dogs. Now, I wouldn't really consider these corn dogs. It was more like Lobster Tempura. But delicious nonetheless. They were finished off pretty quickly. We were also served bread, crackers and this crab dip. Soooooo good. I could have eaten a bowl of that crab dip! The two little girls got the Kids Snow Crab Legs, one with fruit, one with French fries. They both loved the crab. One word of warning though. It was very hard for the girls (age 6 and 10) to crack their own crab legs so my aunt spent most of her dinner doing it. I think that maybe for the kids meals, they should come pre-cracked or already out of the shell. I had the adult Snow Crab Legs with Corn on the Cob and substituted French fries for red potatoes. It was a pound and a half of crab legs--oh my so good! My hubby Seafood Combination which was fried scallops, fish, and shrimp and French fries. There was so much food that he actually took home some! My aunt had the crab cake from the appetizer list and said it was delicious and my uncle had the Seafood Cioppino. The only issue he had was that the crab in the dish was still in the shell. But the shell was covered in the broth so it made it very messy to crack. Our waiter was fabulous. Very attentive and even made a suggestion about another dessert place since we had stated we wanted ice cream. Overall, if you're looking for a great Crab place, definitely try Fulton's out!

Ernie M.

Lunch here was excellent. Probably the best place in Downtown Disney. Tremendous ambiance sitting on lake Buena Vista. The window view is nice. I got the lobster/shrimp roll and it was perfect with a good portion of the meat being lobster. It was served with some very tasty warm home made potato chips as a side. My wife had a grouper sandwich and it too was perfect. Jen our server did an excellent job, and they let us dwell there visiting with friends for as long as we wanted.

George A.

We never got past the hostess. She gave us the biggest attitude and was extremely rude. When we asked for the wait time, she barked at us to wait by the red ropes and had the biggest puss on her face. We were there for lunch, I can only imagine how she would be during the dinner crowd. Not a good person for a Disney experience. We immediately left and didn't look back. Way too many restaurants to choose from to be greeted in such a way.

Brendan C.

Fultons Crab House is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The food was excellent and the decor was extremely nice. I got the Shrimp Scampi and it was amazing. You have not tasted superb Seafood until you have come to Fultons Crab house.

Kimela Anne B.

Never have I given a 1 star review but this time they deserve it. Had reservations. Got sat well before our reservations but the waiter was elderly and forgot our drinks then our order. Took 1 hr to get our food then some of the items were forgotten and cold. All this and the bill was over $90. Not what I expected from such a well reviewed place and deffiantly not what I experienced comming here as a li\le girl with my mother and father.

LI NY Foodie R.

This is an excellent place to have a nice dinner. It is often packed, and parking is a problem at downtown Disney. Reservations are advised. I have been here numerous times over the past 10 years. It is expensive, but I believe it is worth it. The stone crab claws are excellent. I have also has the stuffed lobster and fried fish platter. They change the menu from time to time. Overall a great experience. I am assuming some lower reviews are due to parking issues, wait to be seated, and the high price. The food is very good in my opinion.

Lauren C.

I went for an early dinner around 4:30 PM on a Sunday with family while visiting Downtown Disney. We had called ahead to make a reservation for 5, but when we arrived early we were seated right away. It seems they offer 2 separate menus for lunch and dinner, but since the dinner menu started at 4, that's what we were presented with. Being that this is a higher end restaurant and that it's on Disney property, expect most of the dishes to be priced very high. Many of the entrees were in the $30-$50 range. For starters, I ordered a cup of the lobster bisque soup, which was excellent. For a meal, I got the fish tacos (which is actually listed as an appetizer, but it came with 2 tacos and was plenty of food). They were very spicy, don't get me wrong, I like spicy food, but this was even a bit too much for my preference. I was surprised by this because nowhere on the menu did it indicate that they were spicy, but they were still pretty tasty overall. The other people at my table ordered grouper, tomato and shrimp pasta and carpaccio and everyone was satisfied with their meal. The service was great and our server was very attentive throughout the entire meal, so extra bonus points for that. Overall, I thought the food was good, but not great considering the priciness of the entrees. I might go back again, but it's not "#1" on my list of Disney favorites. By the way, by the time we ate our meal and left the restaurant there was a long line of people waiting to be seated, so making a reservation is recommended.

Dave L.

5 stars because the food was amazing but our waitress was the best I've ever had. Her name is Michelle from Buffalo. The Alaskan king crab legs are to die for.

Amanda B.

The service was horrible. We waited 1 hour for fried fish and fries for a child. My husbands sampler tasted like Captain D's. I was never given my drink (I asked twice). The waitress said sorry, but that was it. Never again. 84 bucks out the window. Oh I should add in the fact that my scallops were rubbery enough to bounce off the street from the second story.

Wing C.

My fiance, his family, and I had our first dinner here after arriving for Disney. We wanted to try the Italian place next door but after hearing 45 mins wait, we decided to just hop on over to Fulton's instead. We arrived around 9PM and were seated immediately on the second floor towards the back. After being seated however, it took a while for the servers to come by again to fill our water and to take our orders. After waiting about 15 mins, our waiter finally reappeared and we did not hesitate in waving for his attention. Our table of 6 ended up ordering the recommended grouper, halibut, the Louis Vutton seafood platter for 2, chicken pasta, and chicken masala. My fiance and his brother also ordered the lobster corn dog and lobster bisque as starters. Shortly after we submitted our order, 2 plates of crab dip and crackers were given as complimentary starters in addition to 2 loaves of fresh home made bread. My carb loving inner fatty was jumping in joy. My fiance shared his lobster corn dogs which came with spicy aioli and verde salsa. We were all disappointed by this dish - especially my fiance since he felt as if he got deceived - the breading was nothing like corndog. It was pretty much just fried tempura. The amount of lobster meat was minimal, just a whole lot of fried dough. Lobster bisque and the crab dip were both overly salted. My fiance's brother ended up downing the lobster bisque.. and I just ate a whole lot of bread with the dip by pouring salsa verde on top. Probably should have just not eaten it because I was swollen the next day.. but i'm such a sucker for warm soft bread. Our dishes took much longer to arrive. We worried that the cook had to fish for our seafood and the restaurant would close before we eat. When we were finally given our entrees, my halibut ended up being cooked to death - Dry dry dry and the grouper was flavorless. My halibut was so dry that I couldn't take more than a bite. My fiance and his brother's seafood platter ended up being way less than 5 lbs as our server had promised. They were still hungry after clearing the whole plate. Both the chicken dishes were overly salted. None of us were able to finish our plates - not because they were outrageously portioned but because they were inedible. My server did come by to check on our food and I was the only person at my table to address our food sucked. He offered to bring out another freshly made dish of mine. And although I refused many times, he still brought it out half hr after everyone at my table had already finished their food. Nice gesture but really unnecessary - wished he just simply took it off the bill instead since I barely even touched my dish the first or second time. A good try dining at some place different with the fam.. but way overpriced and food was wayyyyyyyyyyyyy below average.

HR M.

We have eaten here several times and never been disappointed. Always good food and great service. This is the best restaurant at Downtown Disney.

Danny N.

Food was good drinks were decent. Dessert was ok too. Can't say anything was out of this world but the service was super quick throughout. Our waiter was really cool

Steve C.

This place is awesome, ask for big Beau. Best waiter in the place. My family and I had a wonderful time.

Steve S.

This review is based on a visit my wife and son had without my daughter and I. We apparently missed a great meal. Since my daughter was playing at dinner time and my wife and son had hit the parks they decided to do a little date night on their own and chose Fulton' Crab House...to my sad chagrin since I wanted to eat here as well. The were seated early, but when they left just before six the line was out the door. So either make a reservation or come early... As I sat eating a hot dog (a bad hot dog) I was informed that my son had ordered his favorite...Salmon. He loved the delicious piece of grilled salmon he ordered. The salmon was Roasted on a cedar plank and came with butternut squash puree and edamame-pork belly succotash. Had we made to at home he wouldn't have eaten the purée or the succotash if it was drenched in chocolate, but he was daring and actually loved it. My wife had the crab cakes made with jumbo lump blue crab and it came with a roasted corn relish and was served on top of fried green tomatoes and topped with a remoulade sauce. Very little filler in the crab cakes and a very large portion. My wife says the combination of crab, relish and fried green tomatoes in each bite was amazing. They offer sides for sharing and they ordered a baked potato, which was excellent...and huge! The wait staff was very attentive, made great and appropriate 'upsell' suggestions for appetizers and desserts and highlighted some of the favorites on the menu. They had delicious bread before dinner came and also some complimentary sesame flatbread because they were there early. My wife also enjoyed a nice glass of wine, but she was disappointed in the 'pour'. Should have been a larger glass of wine. My wife and son didn't bite on the suggestions, but thought the waiters were great. They DO offer a kids menu with standard fare and also king and snow crab legs...a nice option. The meal was pricey for a date with a 10 year old, but it was a nice Disney option and they really enjoyed the meal. It wasn't cheap of course...but this IS Disney.

Christina W.

So my husband has a lot of food allergies and carries a food allergy card. This is one of the only places that we have been to that a chef will come out and talk to you about the way are going to prepare your food. They are a bit pricy but the service is EXCELLENT and the food and hospitality is well worth the money!!

Chris R.

Had a wonderful dinner here. Everything was great. The bartender was awesome. Food was great across the board.

Joel A.

Service and food were exceptional. We were celebrating our 25th Anniversary and our daughter's 13th birthday, and they presented us with a couple awesome slices of cake for dessert on the house. I'm not really a cake person, but this cake was tremendous. Enough said.

Denise S.

The shrimp and grits were amazing! The grits were cooked perfectly, and the shrimp were flavored like bacon, The waiter warned me that the sauce was spicy, but she must have the spice tolerance of a American 5 year old. I got the crab cake appetizer, and it was awesome. It was very thick and seemed to be grilled, not fried. The service was like everything we had at Downtown Disney - excruciatingly slow. It was over an hour from the time we placed our order to the time our food arrived.

Craig I.

All I wanted was the stone crab claws. The day that we go our waitress tells us they don't have any today because their quality wasn't good. I honestly didn't know if that was just a bunch of BS. Although I appreciate they the inspect the product coming in....i feel like their not working with a reputable seafood company if they cannot depend on them. Very disappointing.

Janette M.

Sorry this is one place I can honestly say fell below average for me and was very overpriced. The service was pleasant. With all the construction it was hard to know whether the restaurant was open or not and I felt bad for the facility. But the food was not special. The calamari was hard as a rock I thought I was going to lose a tooth. Portions we're small to fair. We will unfortunately not be back.

Allan B.

Too high priced for so little food, and only one out of four in our party really enjoyed t entree they were served. In addition, though we told t waiter it was my wife's bd, they did nothing t acknowledge it except write a note on t paper tablecloth. Also, very noisy with several crying children (yes, I know it's Disney). I will not recommend this restaurant t anyone who is looking for good food at a reasonable price in a quiet atmosphere. And certainly not for a special celebration.

Kat A.

Ugh! Just ugh! Where do these folks get off passing terrible condensed soup like crap as lobster bisque??? I ordered a half po boy shrimp sandwich and a half lobster bisque and I took one taste and it triggered my gag reflexes. My sister ordered the lobster ravioli and I'm sure red lobster could have put out better quality ravioli. Our waiter asked how it was and I replied the soup was terrible...he walked away. No manager ever came by to salvage our lunch. If you've never had great seafood, then you might find this mediocre overpriced shack great, otherwise stay away!!! This place left a disappointing taste in my mouth.

Jeri G.

We've been here many times over the years and while the seafood is great, it is extremely pricey and the service is hit or miss. Our most recent dinner was very good, however, our server was not. He basically took our order and brought us our check. The bus boy did all the work, to a degree. We were never offered refills because nobody visited our table after the bus boy brought our dinners. They completely forgot my son's dinner and by he time they brought it out we were finished with ours. Not fun for a four year old. They brought us our check without asking if we wanted dessert. Overall, our server stunk and next time we'll go elsewhere. There's too much good competition for seafood in Orlando.

Christine Ann D.

Every year that we go to visit my husband's grandmother, we take a night and go here. We absolutely live the service. I highly recommend the Alaskan king crab legs. We get it every time. My husband and brother-in-law shared the crab for 2 this time. I just got the Alaskan king crab. I would recommend the latter. Make a reservation as it fills up quickly for dinner.

Greg A.

After dining in Downtown Disney at several restaurants this past week, my expectations for this restaurant was that this would be equally as enjoyable for our family as in the previous evenings. Boy, was I wrong in this assumption. We were seated next to another family simultaneously. The waitress stood between the two tables and advised us that she was going to only "say it once" as she explained the drink specials, she did the same again for appetizers and main courses. She was extremely rude when we chose not to order alcoholic drinks and only 1 appetizer for our family to share. Bread she said would be placed on the table when she put the order in for our diners and not before. I attempted to speak to a manager in an attempt to communicate our disappointment with hospitality and if there was a way to improve the experience, however the manager was not available and service deteriorated quite rapidly after that. The food was brought out ice cold and tasted like someone dumped salt in each dish. We left and went to Bongos where the food was excellent and hospitality was genuine and extraordinary. Gratuity of 22% was included on the bill for a family of 5. Everything was pricy yet unedible. Bill was over $175 for food we couldn't eat and we wasted 2&1/2 hrs. of our time. Not worth 1 star. Staff is poorly trained and managed. If it wasn't for location they would probably be out of business.

Carolina S.

It should be 3.5 stars but Yelp doesn't allow for this just yet. I'm a fan, I know it's touristy, but for Disney, this is one of their better food options inside of the park. Fulton's seafood quality is pretty good and I can say this after sharing the Ultimate Crab and Lobster experience- Two 1/4 lbs of Maine lobsters, Alaska snow crab and Pacific Northwest dungeness crab. This was the first time my husband cracked a lobster open and the staff was really helpful in this process. We did come in a very busy night and we were celebrating our anniversary together and the only downside to this was that the women's bathroom had not been cleaned in a few hours. You would think for a restaurant on a boat with multiple levels that they would have more restrooms and be on top of their cleaning- not the case. If anything, go for the fresh seafood, just don't expect anything with creative sauces and or too much spice. This is like most Disney food options in that the food tends to be on the simpler side, but the seafood was fresh.

Carlos G.

HORRIBLE Service! Waited forever just for more crackers, lemon, and waitresses did not even come to refill our waters or check on us. Overpriced and food was not that good.

Nhu N.

What can I say about this place? Nothing bad except for the prices. It's understandable as it's at Disney. Nothing here is cheap. The food is fantastic. The crab here is sweet and delicious. I love coming here for a nice dinner with my fiance, but to bad I can't afford coming here all the time.

AJ S.

Fast service, BAD FOOD! Definitely not worth the price...paid about 150$ for 2 people...crab cakes and lobster bisque for an app. The crab cake was about 20% crab, 80% filling. Bisque was overly salty with very little lobster. We kept in mind that this is a Disney place, and for the time being accepted the fact that food may not be great...ENTER ENTREES...filet was abysmal...very small and in no way resembled a prime filet...honestly liked like a dry piece of pork. And the snow crab legs...seemed like they were under a heat lamp all day....very dry and snapped so easily there was no need for the cracker!! Overall very disappointing for the price. But hey it's Disney and you are paying for the experience. You are much better off at T. rex or rainforest cafe. Avoid this place unless you just want a few drinks at the bar!

alissa t.

My fav place to come. Always a great meal try the tuna tartar and the stuffed lobster with Oscar. It's fabulous.

Christine T.

If you're in downtown Disney and there's an hour wait for this place don't bother unless you're seriously craving seafood. It's wholly adequate seafood joint, but not worth the wait in my opinion. The building looks cool from the outside, but the inside is just this convoluted packed mess of craziness. the tables are packed tighter than a can of tuna. It's not a fancy sit down joint like I thought it would be. And of course being downtown Disney the prices are over inflated. Oh and DO NOT get the mashed potatoes, these are the worst mashed potatoes ever, they are heavy and dry, and seriously i've had instant mashed potatoes that tasted better. The highlight of the dinner was a sandy hill crane that decided to hang out by our table and our waiter Niles who made the whole event worthwhile.

I really wish Yelp! offered the half star option lol, this place is more than four but not quite five stars. It's Downtown Disney so yes, it's a tourist trap, loud, overpriced but they brought it home with the food. It was one of the best meals that I have had in a very long time. I ordered the special of the day (always a good choice, word to the wise) which was a grilled black grouper with lobster butter, shitake mushrooms, leaks and procuitto served over fingerling potatoes. Micro greens garnished the top of the dish. I promptly pushed the potaotes to the side, I knows filler when I sees it lol! They served a crab bursin dip with sesame flat bread before the meal came that was delicious~ Service was good, no reservation and we were seated inside of 10 minutes

Matthew M.

Clam chowder was ehhhh. Creamy and pretty good clam flavor but the potatoes were small and life less. We took it to go and the container failed so 1/4 of it ended up on the bottom of the bag. Fail.

Jared G.

The lobster corn dogs and crab ceviche were delicious. They didn't have stone crab which I was hoping for. The cowboy ribeye was good after it was properly cooked - we asked for medium rare and it came out rare ... but they fixed it pretty quick. Also my sister ordered the filet mignon and asked for medium and it was cooked well - they prepared a new one, but of course my sister was eating alone by the time it was done. The waiter made appropriate adjustments to our bill - and we were generally happy with the outcome. The baked potatoes were very large and among the best I've ever had - they packed sea salt on the outsides which I thought was really good. My wife's raspberry chocolate martini was also very good.

Rob R.

We tested the Crab Ceviche, but it tasted like it was just some seafood covered with tomillio salsa covering it. We decided not to stay for dinner. If you decide to go, go a little later - it seemed to clear out at 8pm.

Gerald H.

The food here was great but expect to fork out $300-$400 for a party of six. I ordered the surf and turf which was great. The steak could use a little more seasoning. The crab legs were good and plentiful. Overall the dinning was great. My only dislike is the sub-standard wait service we had. It took a long time just to get water to the table. And we were seated at the firs sitting around 430pm. Folks seated after us received water, bread and their apps before we got our bread. I hope this was just an isolated incident with the service.

Latasha P.

Went for lunch after shopping in DtDisney and the food was GREAT! I had the lobster/shrimp roll with fries, and the little one enjoyed pasta with shrimp. the lobster corn dogs were a hit also. My daughter asked to go here for dinner which i declined, but the food is damn good here!

Stefano Z.

The place was loud, the food was average, the cost was high, the service was slow.

Allie M.

Wonderful dinner! Went with my family, a little pricey but all (and especially the cocktails) was wonderful. I had been hoping to have some fresh seafood while on vacation, ordered the snapper with arugula and mango and it was cooked perfectly. It was first time having a whole fish with the bone in and I'm glad I did it! The calamari was absolutely excellent. The only reason for four starts was for the price, some of the dishes come with smaller portions but bread was served on the table. Service was great!

Richard F.

Bleah. Worst tasting snapper I've ever had. It's like they knocked the fish out with a hammer and threw it in the oven and poured some kind of bizarre nasty sauce on it. Horrible calamari -- over salty, fishy tasting. This place has gone downhill. And expensive!!

K G.

Did not enjoy lunch here. No hostess. Waitress took her time getting to us after socializing. Then it took almost an hour for our lunch to arrive. All we ordered were two sandwiches and the place was dead! The clam chowder was way overpriced for the taste. Mitchell's is much better for half the price. The grouper sandwich was fishy. The lobster roll was just ok. Will never return here. Ever.

Dawnabelle R.

I came here for dinner in February after running the Disney Princess Half Marathon. It did not take long for this place to put a damper in our celebrations. We patiently waited our 45 minute wait because we expected it. But even once we were seated, we were still doing quite a bit of waiting. It took some time for our server to approach us. When he finally did, the water and bread were forgotten and we had to chase down our server to get refills on anything. My cousin and I ordered oysters which we assummed would be fresh and clean since this appeared to be a nicer, pricier restaurant in a tourist area. We lost our appetite when we saw a little worm crawl around on an oyster. The server was shocked as well and did not know how to react. The chef came to our table to apologize and offered us free dessert which never came. Another friend asked for two orders of tacos and only received one. She just let it go since we felt very needy at that point. To top it off our server made an inappropriate comment about our oysters as if the disaster dinner was our fault. Needless to say, we left the restaurant hungry. If I could I would not give this place any stars at all!

Jamie B.

We came here for our 1 year wedding anniversary and had booked the reservation online about 2 weeks before our actual trip. Since we were first timers to Disney World, we had no idea what to expect. We booked our reservation based off of the sample menu that was posted online. We were pleasantly surprised since the restaurant is in an actual boat. We were tourists in Florida, after all, and it looked pretty cool. I LOVE seafood, especially crab, so I was definitely looking forward to our meal. Our waitress was excellent and even shelled all of our crab and lobster for us. That was like a bonus... I don't mind shelling my own, but damn, she was fast and I didn't mind not getting dirty. :) The food was on par for what we were expecting, and the customer service made the experience all the more enjoyable. I do have to give a special shout out for the chocolate creme brulee that I had for dessert. I was so full from dinner, but since we had the deluxe dining plan for Disney, the dinner came with dessert. I expected to have a few bites and leave it at that. The creme brulee was SOOOOOOO delicious that I damn near ate the whole thing. I almost couldn't walk back to the shuttle stop after that. But it was so worth it. I dream of the creme brulee.... and I kid you not, I would go back there just to have a taste of it.

Kel F.

Had a wonderful second visit to Fulton's for our 16th anniversary. The seafood was delicious and the service doesn't get any better. Stephanie was a total gem our first time (in January), so we requested her again. She is awesome! The salmon was so good - cedar plank roasted, butternut squash puree, edamame-pork belly succotash - I could have licked the plate, and my husband's grouper - artichoke heart, tomato, spinach saute, topped with guacamole - was, at least, an inch-and-a-half thick and cooked to perfection! Quite possibly the best grouper I've ever had. A special dessert was delivered in honor of our anniversary - a moist, rich chocolate cake/ganache with fresh berries and "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate on the rim of the plate! A very lovely (and decadent) surprise!!! Thanks Fulton's, and special thanks to Stephanie, for wonderful memories!!! We'll be back!

Amy H.

Late lunch/ early dinner. Terrible service. Went because of a review stating Gluten free options, but really the GF options were limited and neither the chef or waitress wanted to take time to be clear on what was safe. Service - it felt like we were an inconvenience.... Even before dietary request . The seafood plate was ok but nothing to write home about.

Sabrina B.

Bad...Bad...Bad... Very slow service...if you can get any at all...Not the place for high end seafood dishes...there are locations that are sooo much better. Shrimp and Scallops were rubbery and tasteless!!! They were just nasty. For the prices that Fulton's charges, it should be yummy. Read the other reviews, if others are suggesting that you go to T-Rex instead...king of tourist traps...take heed...there is a reason you can get a reservation when everything else is booked.

Jay N.

Tthis is an extremely over priced red lobster. why is this the only place you can get a reservation at downtown disney? hmmm? Cute decor, that saved it from 1 star. We ate here because we were there pin trading and it was available.....opps. Service is non existent. what is the bare minimum? Take your order and give you a bill? Pretty much what we got. Empty glasses throughout the meal. Did the server understand if we bought more we may tip more? Food was all over cooked and nasty, Shame on you disney! Bottom line: cute decor, really slow service, and bad food

barry k.

Fultons Crab House Sinks in the Lagoon -FCH totes itself as an upscale eatery, taking 2 food credits for each person. It is not worth 1 credit. The only items we found worth the trip were the 2 appetizers, the lobster corn dogs and the portobello mushroom fries. The main courses, ciopinno - was salty and the crab in it had a strong fishy taste, like it was frozen and then thawed and then cooked. The stuffed lobster was difficult - you had to work at getting it apart and was tasteless. The interior is dingy, the windows need cleaning and the servers not up to par for an upscale eatery.

Jack J.

I am thoroughly not impressed with the food! The service was good! But as all the other crab shack places, this one also isn't worthy of my time on a much needed vacation! I got the Florida Flounder but it was so bland, it tested like mash potatoes with out the salt! I could go on and on! But why waste more time on this!

Eve B.

As frustrating as it can be to visit a restaurant at the uber-busy Downtown Disney property (waiting for a table and then waiting again once your reservation has been called) long-time waitress Lesly made it well worth it. From her helping out the hostesses in getting us seated quicker, to her solicitous style (getting our names and chatting) we began to have a much better time. What put it over the top was when she put on a pair of plastic gloves and proceeded to crack every crab leg on my husband's plate. And when she wasn't satisfied with the amount of meat in one she brought another! Service was definitely raised a notch by her efforts!

Andrew N.

This place is overrated on yelp. Over priced dishes for substandard food. You are better off going to some other restaurant... I only went b/c our seminar party was offering to pay. If i went here with my sig other i wouldve spent $110 on dismal sad looking dishes. The crab meat dip was nothing really.. the crackers were tad salty. If i would have read some of these other reviews i woulda skipped out on this meal even if it was paid for. I had the seafood sampler which was a sad dish...only 3 scallops and 3 shrimp with sad spinach medley... my other had the crab cakes. I would not go to this place. A one time deal. Only thing i can say that was good was the shipwreckd mojito which was stronger than any mojito i had...

William H.

just great had the cold plate trio don't do raw half shell so the just added more shrimp could not eat it all . wife had salad with shrimp she loved it . for those that think it was over priced maybe you should go to wallies world for vaction

Monica K.

Wow. We had a great meal here -- my daughter had the filet mignon (I know, only a 7 year old goes to a seafood restaurant and orders a steak, lol, but it was delicious) my husband had the grouper and I had the seared Ahi. Each meal was fabulous. We had the calamari as an appetizer and it was perfect. Our server, Darrell, was in my top 3 best servers -- ever. Not only knowledgable and efficient but a super nice guy. My only disappointment (and this has nothing to do with the restaurant) was that we didn't plan to go here and not only did I not really get to anticipate what a great meal this was going to be but I felt a little underdressed in a very casual dress. And, I would really suggest reservations because we didnt have any and our wait was 45 minutes on a Wednesday night. My tuna was superb and my husbands grouper was beyond fresh -- I really enjoyed this meal and I can't wait to go back!!!

Christy W.

Location is what appears to be a docked paddle boat in Downtown Disney. First experience was a disappointment. With a place so nice, you would expect everything to be top notch. Bathroom had not been tended to with two of the stalls having run out of paper, one of the sinks had the faucet falling apart, and one of the soap containers was missing from the wall. The wait to get to the table was expected as we were informed by the front desk. However, once we got to the table, it took quite a while for our server to come over and make introductions for a short time, promising to come back to take our drink orders then and bring some crab spread. We were there about 40 minutes before we got our drinks. Crackers and crab spread were brought to the table as well as fresh bread and butter while we awaited our meals. The grouper, crab legs, fish tacos, ceviche, salmon among others were ordered. The meals were well presented and relatively tasty, though for the prices, you would hope for more than relatively tasty. The atmosphere was nice but a bit crowded.

Gloria W.

My husband & I had Mussels & Claim as appetizer. I thought the portion was rather small for $15. The Lobster Bisque was very good. It's a good thing our server, Liliana suggested us to order the cup size rather than the bowl size. She helped save us $$ & calories. My husband ordered Crab Cakes. Portion was big, but he thought it was above average. My Pesto Cavatappi was very salty & pasta was swimmning with olive oil. Even though the server & bus boys were very helpful & courteous, we're not incline to come back ever because of the food & price.

Nicole P.

Came here after loooong day at Hollywood Stuidos and Epcot. The price alone made us cringe but decided to splurege as a) it's our damned honeymoon b) I had a gift card for Disney. Liked the crab dip that came before our meal. Being a San Franciscan, bread is a huge deal to me. That was nothing to write home about though. We both split a salad (splitting one is perfect in terms of portion) and really enjoyed it....lettuce was very fresh and tasty. My husband usually hates dressing mixed in but liked this one a lot. He ordered ribs, I got the seafood sampler. The Scallops were great. Shrimp was just ok. Rapini was also good. Didn't need the side of asparagus we ordered though. It was good but I had plenty of veggies. We split the 3 flavor sorbet and inhaled it. The strawberries added in were extremly fresh. Overall, good prompt service....but we came in at 10 p.m. on a school night. Our waiter was great, food was pretty good. Hubby's only complaint was the ribs were a smidgeon too sweet.

Hannah B.

I enjoyed my meal here. The service was really good and the waiter had good suggestions on what to try. we got the calamari, stuffed shrimp and crab cakes. The crab cakes were a good size. While and expensive choice in downtown Disney the amount of food you get makes it a good value. I would eat here again.

Dawn H.

Very overpriced for sub par food. The crab legs came out cool and salmon over cooked despite repeated requests when ordering for moist. Dreadful!

Melanie V.

This place should not take 2 dinner credits from the Disney dining plan. This place sucked. We went here two weeks ago on our vacation and will never be back. We had a reservation for 7 but called and asked if we could get there earlier and they did get us in right away. The smell as soon as you walked in smelled like dead fish, gross! As far as I could tell, all the seating is upstairs and there wasn't really a smell up there. So me and the two kids decided to order snow crab and the husband ordered the crab and lobster. We waited almost and hour and a half for our food and they did give us two sides, spinach and asparagaus and they both looked like they been sitting out a week. Now when I wait that long, you would think the food would be cooked! But all the crab was ice cold and the husbands lobster was raw. So he had to wait another while for a new one after arguing with the waiter about it. The only plus of the evening was the desert. I had the cheesecake, and the kids had some ice cream thing. Which were all good but not good enough to make up for the rest of the meal. Awful, awful place.

Amanda D.

Service was okay. bUT!! Kitchens vents went out and nothing was offered but an "I am sorry" no incentive to wait it out or nothing! Crap!

beth f.

I would like to start by saying that Fulton's has some great ambience... but the charm ends there. My parents and I were in Downtown Disney and after reading several stellar reviews, we decided to possibly have lunch at Fulton's. My stepmom remembered this restaurant making an excellent Bloody Mary so we opted to start with cocktails. We arrived right as the restaurant was opening, took a seat on the deck, and were waited upon by the bartender. She took our order- 2 Bloody Marys and 1 Hurricane and that was the last we saw of the bartender or any server. The Hurricane was adequate. Nothing good or bad. The Bloody Mary's were lacking in every way. My parents had to take their drinks back into the bar twice to have them doctored up. At no point in time did we get any service at our table. After this experience we decided to move on and dine elsewhere for lunch. So I cannot comment on the food, but I would say if you are looking for drinks or good service--this might not be your best bet.

Brenda M.

we almost did not go to Fulton's because of the rating we saw thank goodness we went anyway. The meal was the best we had in the 7 days we were there. We ordered the Seafood Tray appetizer outstanding, mussels and clams awesome, lobster and shrimp poboy great and the grouper was amazing. Don't believe the ratings go to Fulton's for a wonderful atmosphere and meal.

Lance L.

Was expecting better tasting dishes being as they are in Florida. But food I think sat too long in the kitchen, clams were too bitter and salty, crab cakes were soggy and cold. However, our server: Carl from Ukraine (but not really from Ukraine) was good-- hence three stars.

Paulene K.

This is my once-a-year indulgence (okay, maybe I do it more than once a year). For a crustacean lover like myself, the "Louie Fulton's Ultimate Crab and Lobster Experience For Two - Our specialty combination: a feast of steamed crab and lobster. Alaska king crab, snow crab, dungeness crab and 1 lb. Maine lobster, with hash browns and grilled asparagus" is to die for. I've been here a few times with friends and tried several other menu items but they were always really good. They give you the recipe for the crab spread (another to die for) but I haven't tried to make it on my own yet. Service and servers are always on top of things and nice. Bit pricey as most seafood and Disney restaurants can be, and you have to fight through the downtown Disney crowds but well worth it for seafood lovers. I love it! *muah* *muah* *muah*!!

Brenda W.

If I could give zero stars I would! Seriously this restaurant was so nasty that from the moment I walked in with my family we knew it was a grave mistake. A seafood restaurant should not stink like rotted fish. The restaurant was musty and humid and the wait staff/hostess were awkward and unfriendly! When we were seated the bar stools we were sitting on felt like they were going to crumble beneath us and were termite ridden. We looked at the menu and couldn't get passed the fishy stench. We decided to get up and go to Wolfgang Pucks instead (smartest move we made all day). One of the reviewers said this restaurant was like Red Lobster...CORRECTION... Red Lobster is SOOOO much better than this place by leaps and bounds. DO NOT GO HERE unless you want to get food poisoning!

Blue M.

Nice upscale seafood place in Downtown Disney. It looks like a steamboat docked in the lake. They have a bar area and a dinning area. The dinning area has different levels indoor and out. Reservation's/call ahead are HIGHLY recommended regardless of the day of week or season. My favorites are the crab and lobster bisque, Malpeque oysters and a Mai tai with a 151 float. That right there is a meal within its self and is a lot cheaper then a meal! However, if you choose to go with a traditional meal start out with the seafood tower and then try the filet with stone crab claws. p.s. when you make reservations request a table by a window overlooking the lake about the same time the fireworks are done at the Magic Kingdom. (if its winter time they are done around 9pm, summer time is probably too late). looking for a kid friendly place try T-Rex around the corner.

Kristen W.

I didn't have high expectations for this place as I figured it was a tourist trap in Disney. However, with that being said, I was pleasantly surprised. Our food was delicious and fresh; and our waitress was wonderful. Food took a bit long but all in all it was an excellent meal.

Kristen P.

I really liked this place despite my lack of liking it. I misread the menu and didn't get what I thought I was getting. This was completely my fault. I thought I was ordering a crab cake club. Turns out it was just a crab club - so it was like a mayo-based crab salad on a club sandwich. It was disappointing but again it was based on my own assumptions. The service was a bit slow but that was a welcome change from the tourist feel of Downtown Disney. As a non-tourist, it was nice to sit down and relax without having to deal with all the kids and families that Downtown Disney attracts. They have a really delicious crab dip that they offer to everyone and they give you the recipe, which is a nice touch. Also, the soundtrack they play isn't what you would expect. It was new Will.i.am . So overall, I would like to go back and read the menu properly. There was two or three other things that I was interested in trying. Note to Tourists: this isn't the place to bring your kids. It was really good, but the service was leisurely and I wouldn't recommend for those trying to get the full Downtown Disney Experience. Head over to the T-Rex place for that.

Susan H.

Why does everyone have their panties in a bunch about this place? We loved it! We loved it so much we returned on our last day for lunch. We had a dinner reservation at 8:50 and were seated promptly. We were greeted by our waiter Robert who was a joy. This is what we had: Oysters - they have 3 different selections and we each had two. what is great about their oyster plate is that it is served with a jalepeno ice that cleanses your palate. nice touch. Lobster Naraganessette (forgive my spelling) - this was a whole lobster stuffed with baked scallops, shrimp and spinach. So rich, creamy and oh so yummy. It was served with red potatoes. I would definitely order this again. King Crab Claws and Lobster tail - Hubs died over the crab claws. Robert wasn't joking when he said once you pull the shell that the crab just falls on your plate. The claws were meaty and very tender. Creamed Spinach - Great flavor and texture. Yummy. Yukon Gold Mashed Potatoes - So yummy and extremely creamy. I don't even want to think about how much butter they used. Our 2nd trip we had: Caesar Salad - very fresh romaine hearts served with yummy croutons and parmesan cheese. Fish Tacos - Hubs raved about these. Cold Seafood Trio - Crab legs, blackened scallops and peel & eat shrimp. So fresh and so surprisingly filling. Yes, the prices are higher. Yes, this restaurant is located on the Disney property. Get over it. If you want cheap shitty seafood then go to Long John Silvers. BTW: Don't be fooled by the complimentary crab dip...they do it for everyone...compliments of the chef.

Bill W.

Had the shrimp cocktail and lobster broil. Both were amazing. Service was above average too.

Nicole W.

We had a drink here on a Saturday night as well as a birthday dinner here on a monday night. Definitely make reservations - but seriously you are in Disney - so make reservations for anything! The bar gets PACKED with people waiting for their reservations. But there is a lull around 8:30 where you can find a stool to belly up. We found some spare bar space and talked up the bar tender and people near us! I went with the Mai Thai - pretty tasty. Hubby did the Poprocks Martini - that is fun if you want a show with your beverage! The bartender delivers a glass, pours the package of poprocks in, and then proceeds to duck as he add the liquid to the glass! Super funny! Our 3 compnion went with a Mojito and was pleased with it! The atmosphere is fun, the crwod is fun, the bartenders are knowledgeable and don't keep you waiting too long! Monday night was great! We had a reservation and they were able to seat us a bit early! The server was fun and played along with the birthdya theme. He flirted with my MIL, bought here a peice of cake and even ofered to sit down with her and help her eat it! He gave good info on the food. We asked how much soup was in the Lobster and Crab Bisque and he said it was pretty hearty and would fill you up - and it did just that to hubby. Can't say it was the best bisque ever and i would not recommend it if you have had some really good versions elsewhere. For an appetizer I got a half a dozen oysters. Mmmm! They came with a cool palete cleansing wasabi ice ball - super cool! For the main meal we went with the Trio for me - which was a peice of copia (sp?), grilled shrimp, and a lump crab cake - oh my goodness! The fish was amazing, the shrimp had great flavor and the crab cake - wow! The other options on the table was the stuffed shrimp for hubby - he really enjoyed those and was even too full to eat my mashed potatoes, and MIL had the grilled shrimp meal and really enjoyed hers too. The cake was very good - it had a light cherry syrup filling and the place came decorated for the occasion. Our seats were by the window upstairs and we had a wonderful view! It was really a great meal, and i could be back to try the shrimp stuffed lobster tail in the future!

Sean H.

If you do not eat fish often, or are clueless to fresh local fish, then this place rocks!

Chan L.

We ordered the tower seafood appetizer and the Ultimate Crab experience entree. We ate it all with the local ale beer. Exactly what we wanted, thank you to our server Niles.

Liz D.

I'm in love.

Charles W.

The steamship theme is nice and the service is good but the wait time is very long, the food is expensive and tastes like it came from a motel buffet. Overall, I would say don't bother with Fultons, there are better restaurants within easy walking distance.

Don D.

Disney vacation low-spot for sure. Waited almost an hour, but that was OK being that it was the weekend. Seated in what seemed like cramped quarters. My chair was up against the next table's chair with someone sitting in that chair which left me no room to move the chair away from the table to be able to sit down. My wife and I had to move the table down about 2 feet in order to sit. Lots of fun with two kids and a Mother-in-law in tow! We ordered conch fritters for appetizer but they were sold out (early on a Friday night). So we ordered fried Portabello and a bowl of bisque. The appetizers arrived n a timely manner and were good. MIL ordered deluxe seafood saute, wife ordered mixed seafood platter, I ordered crab cakes, kids had chicken strips and mac/cheese. When the food did arrive, it was all cold. My crab cakes alone were very cold inside and very dry. Not fresh at all. Wife's meal was luke warm as was MIL's saute. The kid's meals were cold.. and there's nothing like cold french fries. We had waited for about 45 minutes for this and the kids were starving at that point, so we didn't reorder, except for me. I had already eaten about 1/4 of one of the two crab cakes and asked if they could send out just one more as a replacement - preferably hot. A manager came by to say that they were going to bring me another crab cake, but were not going to charge me for it.. This confused me because I didn't know if they were comping my entree or they were not charging me for the third crab cake, which they shouldn't have.... turns out it was the latter - as was discovered when we got the bill. Will not recommend this place to friends and definitely won't come back. For the prices they charge, I expected a LOT more.

Brittany L.

Food was eh. We got the fried mushrooms which were the best thing we ate here. They were really good, id suggest ordering them. I got a filet, and I asked for medium rare and it came out medium well. And my crab legs were cold. My date got the swordfish and that was good. Portions were way too small for the price. Plus my "side" was two pieces of asparagus. Customer service was amazing. They ended up comping my meal even though we told them not to bother. The waitress was so friendly. Manager was also friendly, great waitstaff.

Carmen J.

This restaurant was very nice. A cool environment, on a riverboat. The staff worked very efficiently and with a smile. Nothing is more important to make a meal more enjoyable than service with a genuine smile. Our waiter, Steven, was AWESOME! Oh, and the food was great, too.

Irene P.

Finally! On my 6th trip to Orlando, I was finally able to make it in and try Fulton's! I had the crab cake, lobster bisque, and the ribs and Alaskan king claws. All were delicious! I wish I knew how big the lobster bisque was, because that bowl could have served as a meal with the sour dough bread they give you! the king claws were so good! so so so good! giant plump chunks of crab dipped in butter. Wow. Service is wonderful. I had 3 mojitos, and one was not as good as the other. When I explained that, the waitress gladly swapped it out for a fresh drink! I had such a pleasant experience, and would definitely come back the next time I'm in town!

Kim M.

I was really, really disappointed with Fulton's. Really. We have a favorite crabhouse here in Chicago, Shaw's, that we frequent at least once a quarter. So this review is somewhat biased on that comparison. There was no wait when we got there. They put us in the bar area. We did have our kids with us, ages 6 and 4. So the elevated seats were less than ideal, but that's the only place they could put us...they stated. The prices on the menu were no higher than what we pay at home. I liked their offerings quite a bit..at least the descriptions of them. We ordered the King Crab. I always order the King Crab at home, and while they also use Frozen Crab with the exception of select seasons -- they always are able to give it to me "chilled". Considering that you are shelling out such an obscene amount of money there -- I guess they just think that's good customer service. While I realize that makes me somewhat of a crab snob, I asked them at Fulton's if they could do the same. The waiter stammered, and stuttered, and instead of even going back to ask the chef that, he told me no. He then went on to tell me how it was impossible to do such a thing with frozen crab. I said nothing, just nodded, as his tip began to decrease the more he kept talking. If a place in Chicago can do it, there is no reason that this place at Disney could not. Sorry. My point being, he could have at least gone back to check. We got the Clam Chowder and the taste was good, but the texture was not. It was pretty runny, and there were not very many clams or potatoes at all. The crab was ok. It really did not meet the standards we'd set for it -- based on some of the reviews -- and on what the waiter said.... All in all, if a Crab house in the middle of the country is better by leaps and bounds than one in the entertainment mecca of Florida, I highly suggest you spend your money elsewhere in search of King Crab down in Florida.

Gross and EXPENSIVE! All dinner entrees were over $30 kids meals were all about $10 not including drinks. My snapper tasted like charcoal and was full of bones, another diners grouper was chewy like bland bubblegum, the kids meals were both sub par. Service was slooooow our waitress's was super stressed out and rude. The bill was over $100 and for 2 adults 2 children no appetizers or desserts!

One of the better meals we had at Disney. Very nice decor and views. Trying to be more upscale and almost there. Went for lunch so no crowds to deal with. Liked the place setting. Had the "chunky style" bloody mary - was pretty good but a little too much ice. The crab ceviche was amazing. Our kids meals were actually worth the money, the mac and cheese were good, even the fries. My wife had the lobster roll. It was good but was padded with those small shrimp that are rather pungent - first lobster roll I've had with shrimp. I had the cold seafood plate with crab legs, peel and eat shrimp and oysters. They allowed me to sub blue points. However, whoever is shucking these oysters needs a lesson or more practice - found shell pieces in 2 out of 3. Have heard this in other reviews. The oyster were also a little anemic looking for being in season. Overall, waiter was great and enjoyed our experience.

EAT AT THIS PLACE We completely enjoyed this place. We had reservations and we went early enough (6:30pm) not to have to wait in line. This place is large, but unlike some of the other Downtown Disney eateries, the service was very good. Our Hungarian waiter, Attila (not the Hun) was prompt, professional and very personable. The food was really really good. We had the Calamari as an appetizer and for the entrée I had the Ciapino and my wife had the Seafood Medley. The seafood was cooked perfectly, the flavors were sophisticated and the portions were awesome. The only minor downside is that it is very loud with many boisterous young folks. If you are looking for a romantic, quiet, solitary experience you may want to reconsider. EAT AT THIS PLACE

On a trip to Orlando my family ate here. We waited 45 minutes to be seated, and once seated we all ordered the prefixed combo meal--it comes with an appetizer, main entree, and dessert. I was extremely disappointed with the service. Our main entree came out before our appetizer, but worst of all we had to ask for our appetizer as it was "forgot" about entirely. A stroke of forgetfulness prompted the waiter to hand us our bill before we received our dessert. Confused, we inquired where our dessert was and once again it was "forgot" about. In short, the food was just okay, but the service was horrible. I would not recommend this place.

I am a great fan of Fulton's Crab House. In Orlando you will not find better seafood. I have been here several times and thoroughly enjoy it. I have not tried their steaks, chicken or other food, but from what I have heard stick to the seafood, and the crab legs in particular. This restaurant serves great alaskan crab legs, snow crab legs, and stone crab claws. They also have very good fish specials. The restaurant is pricey, but you cannot get good crab legs anywhere for less than 40-50 dollars at a minimum. I do love the tall chairs and the friendly waitresses. To me it is a great atmosphere but then I love crabs! Do not make the mistake of thinking this is a kid-friendly restaurant, or a place where you will not have to wait. A reservation is a must during most of the year. If you are going during the winter, a weekend, or with a large convention be prepared for massively long lines and waits starting a 2-3 hours. This is mostly a place for adults and people who love crabs. So stick to the seafood. The Dungeness crabs are okay, as this is not the Pacific NW. Maine lobsters are preferable to the Australian lobster tails. Portions are mostly very large so be careful in ordering too many appetizers.

Was in Orlando on a business trip and my co-worker and I headed over to the Disney shopping area. We were both craving seafood so we decided to give Fulton's a try. I wasn't overly impressed. It is a tourist trap due to location. The restaurant was crowded and there were overtired kids everywhere. It didn't strike me as the type of place with kid friendly fare. The meal itself was good but nothing to write home about. It was all a bit pricey for the experience. I wouldn't recommend to anyone as nice night out place.

Packed and popular every night of the week I decided to drop in at Fulton's Crab House for lunch instead of dinner. I was seated at a table which looked out on the waters at Downtown Disney and its abundance of small birds which would land near the window and sing or chirp for you. I was greeted by my waiter/server Josh who described the daily specials and gave me a chance to study both the lunch menu and an extensive drinks menu. I decided against alcohol and ordered a Sweet Pucker described on the menu simply as "Sugar, honey, lime juice & strawberry mix..." and a glass of tap water. They give you the option of bottled water or tap water, but when you've grown up in San Francisco like I have, the obvious choice is tap. I really wanted to try the crab, but their signature dish is served cold, and I was more in the mood for a hot lunch. I decided on the daily special which was a Grilled Swordfish paired with Grilled Shrimp and seasonal vegetables. I had never tried swordfish before, but I had always heard good things about it from friends. The Sweet Pucker looked just like a strawberry smoothie decorated with a fresh strawberry on the rim of the glass. It tasted like one too except there was a slight tartness from the lime juice; it was quite refreshing. The tap water tasted just like I expected. A fresh loaf of hot bread with whipped butter and a dish of lavosh crackers accompanied by a boursin created with seasoned cream cheese and bits of crab. The boursin was good, and I eventually finished off all the crackers before I even attacked the bread. Although the outside of the bread loaf had already cooled the soft inside was still very warm. The loaf was good with a gritty, crackly crust and very airy bread with good chewiness to it. Other reviewers had mentioned the small portions, and I agree that there could have been a lot more to this selection than just a four inch piece of fish and two shrimps. The presentation was very nice though (see photo). The selection came with two dipping sauces, a creamy roasted red pepper-infused sauce and a creamy citrus basil sauce. The fish was served on top of a scoop of sweet spaghetti squash with julienne carrots and fresh spinach leaves. I found that the swordfish was very good grilled to a perfect medium just as I had ordered. The firm white fish fillet was very moist and flaky and had just a bit of crust to its top and bottom sides. The roasted red-pepper sauce was a bit sweet, and I found the cream content made it just a bit too rich. The citrus basil sauce was less creamy and much more preferred; it had a nice lemony zing to it and bits of ground basil were visible throughout the sauce. The two shrimp were a bit overcooked making them slightly rubbery. The vegetables were very good. Overall I think for the prices they charge a slightly bigger portion would definitely be appreciated. The service is impeccable and the overall dining experience is excellent.

Fei C.

I came here with 2 other friends and had a great experience. The ambiance was nice. The service was good. We had seafood tower, cioppino and key lime pie and they were excellent. The crab cerviche, Florida grouper and crab cake were average. I didn't get to have stone crab claws because they had a bad season. The price is definitely lower than the west coast :)

Jeff G.

Not a fan of Fulton's. We went there for lunch. It's wasn't the most satisfying experience. The lunch menu is expensive. The service is subpar and the food wasn't really that great. Menu- If its a crab house, why isn't there Crab available for lunch? Just asking... Everything on the menu is pretty expensive, especially when you realize that the portion sizes aren't that big. Service- We're in Disney World here, you should be happy, right? And your server should play off of that happiness to make the dining experience awesome too... Not exactly. We sat at the table for 20 minutes before I finally asked a waitress to take our drink order. I guess I could understand if they were busy or understaffed. But the waiter passed us 5 times, stared at our table and walked by time after time looking bored...not good. Once he acknowledged us, things were better but nothing to write home about. Food- The sandwich trio was pretty decent but nothing to write home about. Their "specialty", the Lobster bisque was gross. I know its supposed to be creamy. But it shouldn't taste like I'm eating a stick of butter. There have to be better places for Seafood. If Disney is going to charge what they charge, it should be a dining experience, not just a sub-par meal. One word, avoid... unless you are on Disney property and really need to have seafood right now.

Vanessa W.

My husband and I chose this restaurant as our "nice meal out" for our trip to Orlando after friends of ours raved about the restaurant. We left satisfied but not wowed. My husband ordered the pre fixe menu with tilapia which he said was cooked perfectly. I got the crab cakes which were filled with lump crab meat and tasty, but not outstanding. Our server was excellent - attentive and friendly. The ambiance was ok - neat being on a "boat" and the painted ceilings were nice, but they first tried to seat us in high top tables and chairs next to the bar. I came for white linen dinner - not a pub. In all we felt underwhelmed for the $100 price tag.

Leslie W.

If you like eating on a rather large boat in the middle of Downtown Disney then this is the place for you. Unfortunately, it was not for me. My boss took me there one afternoon for a lunch meeting and I was not impressed. As someone who frequently heads to Downtown Disney I was always curious about Fulton's. It looked great from the outside. On the inside I found it stuffy, presumptuous and snobbish. It is more upscale of a restaurant but in a stuffy, nose-turned-up sort of way. While the service was great and the staff was pleasant, I was not a fan of the food selections (or lack thereof) and atmosphere. The menu selection was not very diverse and did not offer many selections. If you don't like seafood, mainly fish, don't bother. I was not impressed by this restaurant. Downtown Disney offers other restaurants that are far better as does Central Florida when it comes to seafood. Not worth the time or money. Your taste buds will thank you for going elsewhere.

Jess M.

Expensive and average. There is nothing special about this place. The food is bland and the service is slow. It's a total tourist trap, but then again everything in Downtown Disney is. Go to the Rainforest Cafe or the T-Rex instead.

A. J.

Go to Red Lobster instead. Food was fine, not worth $35-50 per. Service was disinterested and slow. Had to ask for refills on water and tea. Waitress seemed to be preoccupied, or maybe just bored. Cramped feeling. Lots of tables crammed together. The concierge tried to talk us out of this place and we should have listened but got caught up in wanting to eat in a cool looking 'boat'. I had the crab cakes, and there was supposed to be sauce. There was a tiny bit of sauce on it that was actually good when you could taste it. Someone at the table ordered crab and wanted a second crab fork and shell cracker and was told that they couldn't provide those cause "people keep stealing them". I've never been told that at Red Lobster. Others had salmon and another had bass I think. Both pieces of fish were about the size of a pack of cards. Seriously. Go elsewhere.

Lydia M.

WORST RESTAURANT EVER! Food was less than mediocre, overpriced...if you have a shellfish allergy you can't eat anything on the menu but they don't tell you until AFTER you order

Jane D.

Very disappointing! We ate here on our last night of our vacation and used our Disney Dining Plan ( two table service meals each) The lobster (both types) were tasteless and bland and certainly not worth the cost. The king crab was ok but nothing special and again well overpriced. The only thing that was tasty was the free crab dip and crackers that came at the start of our evening. Our wait staff was pushy and barely around and the entree took too long. Our $300 meal for 4 (no alcohol) was way too pricey for what we received and I would not recommend this place to anyone!

Jillian D.

I went here last week with my uncle and It was a great experience. When we walked in it seemed like there was going to be a wait, but we were only waiting about five minutes until we were seated. The server was very knowledgeable of the menu and answered every question we had. I ordered the King Crab legs and they were fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place, and I look forward to going again sometime!

Dan H.

My wife and I ate here for lunch. It was absolutely delicious! The meal started with complimentary crab dip, for which they gave us the recipe. For our entree, my wife got the blackened Mahi Mahi tacos and I got the cobb salad. They were both incredible. The tacos were serviced with a little slaw mixed in, and some great sauces. The cobb salad was loaded with seafood. Loved it. The two entrees, a bloody mary, and a glass of sangria came out to about $40. It was a little expensive, but I felt like it was worth it. And the setting on the boat was really charming. I definitely recommend this place for lunch.

Evil M.

This place was packed on a Saturday night. I went to sit at the bar and there was little children sitting there. I asked the hostess about children sitting at the bar and she said that this was a normal thing. I do not care if this place is in downtown Disney Orlando, if kids sit at the bar there is something wrong with this place

Robyn S.

I REALLY wanted to love this place....afterall it's not often that I can convince my bf to try a seafood restaurant (he HATES seafood). We arrive with no reservations, so had a 45 min wait (understandably). We finally got seated in the bar area. We ordered appetizers and entrees. Our server brings us bread and crackers, then shortly after, our appetizers. The caesar salad left much to be desired, but the clam chowder was pretty good. Fast Forward: 1 hour later....we are still waiting for our entree. SERIOUSLY? 1 HOUR for a steak and an order of crab legs??? Not even a visit from our waitress, no update at all. I was so upset, we could be anywhere else enjoying our vacation, but we're wasting it at Fulton's Crab House, waiting for food. We finally decided enough is enough....I get up and leave, my bf explains to the waitress that the wait is riduculous and that we're leaving. She literally says "okay, here's your bill.". He pays for our appetizers and drinks. No apology for the reeeeeally long wait, no explanation...Nothing. I dunno if I expect too much from restaraunts, but seriously 1 hour+ for dinner, with no interaction from the waitress!?? That's where I draw the line. We went elsewhere. Bad service here ruined one night of our Disney vacation...thanks Fultons.

Kiara G.

Service was horrible, food was just okay. For starters, we waited an hour when the restaurant was less than 1/3 full. We were sat outside after an hour wait, which we were informed of when we checked in. After being sat, it was 10 mins before anyone came by and then another 10 before we got water. The waitress checked with us once after we got our food, but did forget the salad we ordered. When I asked to make sure it wasn't on the bill, there was no apology for having forgotten it in the first place. All in all, not impressed one bit.

Robyn B.

Wes Peterson is the MOST amazing waiter...entertaining, knowledgeable, personable! He made our evening perfection! The lobster was amazing and the bluepoint oysters were divine! Brennan the bartender was also fabulous! Wonderful staff across the board! Thank you

Kyle M.

Had a reservation for 8pm. Hostess screwed up the seating for other groups, which in turn affected us. Then forgot to seat us and put 3 other groups of same size ahead even though we had a reservation and came in before all three groups. Hostess was rude and never apologized or offered anything. We walked out to the nice restaurant directly next door.

Philip G.

Portobello fries appetizer will make you yearn for McDonald's. Imagine taking a slice of portobello mushroom, then soaking it in enough batter to coat a compact car, then frying it in some oil that smells vaguely of onions. Goes well with round loaf of white bread that is delivered to the table by default. Fish taco appetizer wasn't so bad, though.

Andrea C.

This evening, after a long day in Disneyworld's the Magic Kingdom, we ate dinner here. First and foremost: get a reservation!! Appetizer: I had a caesar salad. It was the perfect type of Caesar, light and creamy no distinct anchovies with flaked Parmesan and a hint of garlic. Yum. So fresh. Entree: I split the "Ultimate Crab and Lobster Experience" with my mother. Two lobsters, a pound and a quarter a piece plus a pound of Alaskan king crab legs. We ordered it with a side of red potatoes (which we never even touched.) We couldn't finish it, it was a lot of food. Not enough for three grown people though. Delicious. Dessert: we had the Traditional Cheesecake. Light and fluffy, and with a mango sauce and a raspberry sauce. Neither flavor was overpowering, both were just lovely. It was devoured, even though we were full. Alcohol: I had my usual Malibu and pineapple and it was perfectly done! Yum! I wasn't totally in love, the seating was a little cramped and they weren't very on top of the drinks (water, wine, and booze). It's still fun though!

Audrey M.

My husband and I went here when we were on our honeymoon and I can say that this place was definitely on point! It is a bit pricey, but it is well worth it! My husband had king crab legs and they tasted like "butta". I had their steak and lobster and both were also like "butta". Their sides were also delicious and it's exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like Fulton's. Our table had a view of the lake and the ambience was quiet and intimate. If we ever are back in the area we will definitely come back!

Minerva L.

The service was sooooooooooooo slow. Why? Because we look poor? Geez, come on now! The cioppino was so fishy smelling, so sad. The bread and butter was nothing special. I ordered the trio, with the wahoo (delicious), grilled shrimp (omg i never like eating shrimp, they must of placed some addictive drugs in them), and crab cake (too cakey, not great). The dessert menu was disappointing, so I didn't get anything. I think the food is way over priced, and they messed up my mash, I wanted broccoli as subs, so they ended up giving it to me without charging me. Would I come back? No thanks.

Michelle R.

Beautiful view, although they seemed to pile all the families with kids in the back corner. Our server was amazing and the food was excellent. My husband and I shared a large crab plate (cannot remember the name specifically) with alaskan king crab, snow crab, and dungeness crab. It was AMAZING. Hands down best crab I have had that was cooked to perfection. My kids both had kids meals and my son who never finishes anything actually ate his entire meal. The prices are somewhat high, but it is Disney.... so you know what you are getting into. The fact that it is in Downtown Disney made it even better as there is a fun atmosphere and a lot of shopping/looking to be done! Will definitely go back!

Balkaran G.

Very slow service. Kids ordered hamburger and hot dog. They got patty and bun with ketchup only. Asked for pickle and lettuce. Took him 20 minutes to get that. We all were done with our lunch by then.

Anjelica L.

this should be called FULTONS CRAP HOUSE. horrible. came here for our honeymoon and have had a terrible experience thus far. service was awful. As if you don't wait enough in disneyworld why not wait some more?? we had reservations and still waited an ungodly wait time for our seats. the whole place smelt like rotting fish. once we were finally seated we were crammed between 4 other tables in a loud jam packed room. Our server was terrible never asking if you wanted anything to drink until he came to take our order. once we did finally get our terrible meal we received "compliments from the chef" Bread.... yummy. i mean really? funny that ours was a compliment while the next table over received theirs almost immediately. this place is a joke. the service is terrible. the smell is terrible. the food is terrible and the atmosphere is you guessed it TERRIBLE! $200.00 later i left with nothing but a stomach ache.

Lena W.

This is my favorite restaurant in Disney! The food is excellent and the service is even better. Ask for Stephanie Ann! She made our experience fabulous! We will definitely be back! Thank you Stephanie for the excellent service!

Jessica M.

Amazing service, Fresh seafood and salads. We went here for my brothers birthday, I mentioned to the waiter that we were celebrating his birthday and they brought him out this to die for chocolate fudge cake. Wish we had places like this is Wisconsin but guess its hard to get fresh seafood here!!

Jennifer R.

The lobster bisque could be better. It tasted more tomato based and there was very little lobster. I could have done without it. The stone crab and the raw oysters were delicious. This restaurant offered a crab BLT. The crab intertwined with the Bacon and advocado was super delicious. The crab cake by itself didn't have lots of flavor though. They also make a crab ceviche that taste amazing. Our server was very helpful and informative.

Jon L.

Crab ceviche was good. Yellowtail snapper was great! Wife's crab legs were good. We will definetely come back if we are ever in the area.

Andrew W.

Very disappointed, we ordered a large platter of crab and Maine lobster. Everything was very plain. Nothing really to rave about, pretty standard seafood at a very non standard price. The food wasn't bad, but this restaurant is in the category of a more expensive Disney restaurant. There are plenty of places to spend the same amount of money but have a great dining experience. This place was a let down. Side note: best bloody Mary I've ever tasted and we had a great waitress.

Vicky L.

Best priced seafood in the WDW area. Good food and service.

Brittany M.

Ugh. Red lobster food at Ritz Carlton prices. If you're any kind of foodie you'll hate this place, especially the stupid beeper they make you hold. Skip.

Beth S.

Visited Fulton's twice this year -- late October and again in early Dec. It's a predictable experience for downtown Disney, decent food but don't expect to be wowed. Both times we had impeccable and attentive service from the wait staff - they even served a free dessert to my husband on his bday. The restaurant is always busy and you can expect large groups and families. I wouldn't recommend this place for a romantic experience. :) As usual, the food was good both times- but it is typical of all food around the WDW resorts, in that it lacks unique flavors. In Oct we ordered the Ultimate Crab and Lobster Experience with a Calamari Steak starter and the Hash Browns Potato on the side. The seafood was fresh -- served only with clarified butter. The Calamari steak was superb -- but again, no unique flavors or spiciness in the sauce. The hash browns come in a cast iron skillet, but again lack any uniqueness. In December we ordered the Stone Crab Claws, Blue Crab and Lobster Bisque (I wouldn't order it again) and salads. Overall, I'd call it satisfactory. I see some people mentioned a wait time -- but we always make reservations for Disney area locations, and we didn't wait at all to be seated.

Charles L.

We had a great time and our crab was very good.

Kurt B.

Came with four people. Excellent dining experience. If you are looking for quick dining go elsewhere. Fultons is about the dining experience. Explains why reservations can get backed up. The service is superb. Very attentive. The food is excellent, from lobster to the crab cakes. The desserts are awesome. Let your sweet tooth run wild. We are on the disney dining plan which comes with dessert. So four forks eating away at the delicious key lime torte to the chocolate creme brûlée The view is as good as the ambiance.

J B.

Great good and nice servers. E went twice during our trip to Disney. They let the kids order of the regular appraiser menus of you have the deluxe meal plan. Between the give of us and our two visits we tried all of the appraisers on there menus and the were all great.

Jordan T.

Made reservations well ahead and seated promptly....at the closest table to the wait station, in the bar. Likely the worst table in the house. Happy Birthday!!! The complimentary crackers were stale, but they're free so who can complain. The 80s music is so loud that conversation is limited. Cement floors don't help. Waited 30 minutes to order. 25 minutes for a refill. Overall I could go on and on about how poor this meal was, but I look out the window and turn around to the lobby to see dozens of new unsuspecting people who are getting ready to be disappointed. We figured out that this beautiful disaster of a restaurant doesn't make it's payroll on return business. It's a one shot show and these people won't be back. They'll leave here $50+/per person poorer and will be sad they came.

Kris X.

Probably one of the worst meals (for the price). Do not expect anything worth what your paying. Lobster bisque is gooey. Lobster tails not cooked properly. They charge almost $60 for four Alaskan Crab Claws. FOUR!! I mean really. It actually made me quite angry. When I subtly said something to the waitress she dismissed me at first. Next thing you knew, she was sliding me two more on the house (which was very nice of them). That said, service was suspect. When I ordered a bottle of wine, a gentlemen came to present to me something I didn't order. When I pointed it out he told me that the menu changed. So I asked him why he was showing me a bottle of wine I didn't order. He seemed confused. We RAN out of that place without dessert. But we weren't fast enough. My father-in-law almost broke his neck in the bathroom, as it was virtually trashed, with water all over the floor. Totally avoid. Rather have Red Lobster. At least there, you pay for what you get.bYou want to spend that kind of money? Go to the California Grill. Now THAT place knows how to do it.

Thai Y.

Generous portions go with the higher prices. Awesome potatoes!

Hillary N.

HORRIBLE!!! We went because we had a large group & they take reservations. OK We are a family with heavy involvement in food & restaurants. A place like this can only exist where a bunch of tourists are trapped into limited choices. Food mediocre at best. Prices absurd given the poorly cooked, amateurishly presented meals. Even the kiddie chicken tenders & fries were bad. Get a sandwich somewhere else. Save your money!!!

Mike H.

Service was solid, but not spectacular. Shrimp and gifts was OK, shrimp well prepared, grits were much too voluminous. Wine selection was mediocre. Probably would pass on this place next time.

Mike R.

Love Fultons. The wife and I come here every time we visit. Great seafood. Steaks and full of flavor. Crab claws are awesome

Tough C.

To be fair, I have not been to this restaurant in a few years. However, when I visited last, I had the freshest and most delicious oysters I have ever had. They had a variety of Cold Water, Blue Point, Apalachicola, and San Antonia Bay oysters. Super fresh and delicious. The restaurant is overpriced, but this is Disney World after all and we know that is the norm here. Other than the delicious oysters, I can't say I remember what else I had from their menu.

Renaud F.

good for Disney style plates.

Dave D.

VERY pricey. The sea food was excellent. Bloody Mary's w/ the shrimp are awesome. I had the cowboy ribeye. Small and grizzly. Very bad.

Jimmy B.

Good food here, regardless of what some have said. Also had good service. Ordered the seafood sampler appetizer, which was delicious and appropriate for the $19 per person price. It included some large juicy scallops that were cajun seasoned, jumbo shrimp, seared ahi tuna, stone crab claws, and king crab legs and claws. We got it for two, but it was definitely enough for the three of us. No regrets over the $38 price. I ordered the Lobster Narragansett, a $45 dish that consists of a 1 1/4 pound Maine lobster, gutted and stuffed with Gulf Shrimp and Bay Scallops and baked whole with a crispy breadcrumb crust and a creamy mushroom sauce. Bad fucking ass. I made my friends jealous with this one, and reluctantly traded some niblets of my fare for a bite of crab cakes, which were also very nicely prepared and not lacking in the crab meat department. If my lobster had a dick, however, I would have sucked it ten times before ordering crab cakes over the Narragansett. The dish was served with salted red potatoes which were cooked to a very nice soft texture, and tasted great as well. It should be noted that this is one of the few dishes that includes a side, whereas other dishes will have to have an ala carte vegetable added. I opted to skip dessert in lieu of the nearby Ghirardelli soda shop, but luckily for me, the Prix Fixe menu that my buddy ordered came with some cheesecake, which I was able to steal a bite of. The cheesecake was pretty standard, rich and delicious, but it was served with a beautiful vibrant reduction of Apricot puree and Strawberry puree. They were each tangy and sweet, and added a nice contrast to the creme of the cheesecake. Overall, we had a great dining experience. We will likely return if we are in Orlando at Disney and feel like having some good seafood.

Morello D.

The calamari appetizer was amazingly fresh and yummy. My little son thought it was a different version of yummy french fries :) The crab cake was really good too. didn't care about the other fried dish we ordered as it was greasy.

Diana L.

I went there the last night my family stayed at Orlando, FL, so we were expecting something truly amazing... I guess we went there on a bad day - there was only one server, and he claimed that many of the chefs left because business wasn't going very well that day (and people came in right after the chefs left). The restaurant is very elegant, with a bar in the center! They gave us complimentary crab dip and the server took the appetizers off our bill because of the bad service. The food was alright, and in my opinion, overpriced. However, I would suggest this place to those who aren't in a hurry to leave! The three of us got 2 entrees, which still cost over $110; but it's Downtown Disney, enjoy all you can!

Leanne A.

Came here for dinner on our date night part of vacation and it was INCREDIBLE. Some of the best calamari I have ever had and my Narragansett Lobster was just awesome. My husband was thrilled with his steak. Our server was great, we were so happy with everything that we didn't mind the bill!

Tom K.

Delicious clam chowder and lobster bisque. The snow crab is very good as well.

Tony K.

Went there about two weeks ago on my trip to disney. Made a reservation but i don't know what for? I saw people that just walked in with no reservations get seated before me. I saw my reservation time come and go and still no table. There seemed to be some internal coworker strife. I saw a couple of different arguments and spats between hostesses, waitresses, managers and busboys. Very unprofessional. Especially the hostesses (very rude) When we finally did get seated, we didn't see our waiter for at least 10 minutes. When he did show up, we just ordered our appetizer, dinner and drinks at the same time. Little did we know that we would be getting all at the same time. actually our drinks did come first and our appetizer showed up at the same time as the main course. since there was no room on the table, our crablegs and lobsters just sat on the serving tray until we finished out appetizer. by the time we got to our food, it was lukewarm and dried out. We didn't get a bucket for our crab and lobster pieces and we never saw our waiter again until i had to stop him to request my bill so i could get out of there. Horrible service + Horrible food at over $150 for 2 people equaled a horrible time. Food is overpriced and over rated. Save your money and hit the fast food stands because you WILL be wasting your money and your time. We were EXTREMELY disappointed. Long John Silver's is a 10 compared to this place.

DJ M.

Once again and dating myself, we dined here many times, when it was The Empress Lily Riverboat. Then it was very upscale, Fulton's is much more casual, but nothing to sneer at. This turn of the century riverboat is a work of art with beautiful architectural structure, paintings and three gorgeous decks to dine on or several dining rooms inside. Wherever you decide to sit, you can be assured of attentive and friendly service. The Fulton has won ten consecutive awards for it's extensive and well structured wine list. Fresh seafood is bought directly from ports all around the world and flown in. They also select the choicest cuts of beef and offer free range chicken. The lunch menu and the dinner menu are quite different for entree choices, with appetizers, soups and salads being offered on both menus, but the lunch menu continues with entree salads and sandwiches or lighter fare such as fish and chips. The dinner menu leaps into grilled fish dishes, lobsters, crabs, shrimp dishes, steaks and combos. You should be torn between the lobster and crab bisque or the New England clam chowder. I often have the filet Oscar served with bernaise sauce, I know it's a seafood restaurant, but it has crab meat on it! Tis good. I do have the fish & chips for lunch. I need to try their crab cakes the next time I go since they are known for their mustard sauce. The boat does have a history and Lily was Walt Disney's wife. Make reservations as soon as you know you will be visiting Walt Disney World as this is a popular destination for dining.

Yummy Yummy Yummy! The seafood here is definitely fresh from the ocean. I can taste the difference. It is a little bit pricier here but dude it's located in Downtown Disney so what do you expect? It is worth it though. You can find some of the best tasting crabs here. The portions are also fairly generous so even though the price per entree might seem a little high, they do try to make it worth it. The dungeness crabs and stone crab claws were delicious. Very sweet, very fresh, and lots of natural flavors. Oh, they also have this like crab dip that they serve with sesame crackers in the beginning (complimentary). Sooo goooood. This is one of the must try restaurants if you happen to take a stroll in Downtown Disney.

Downtown Disney is a monopoly. You will pay the price for being on vacation and starving for something other than hotel room food. Orlando reminded me of Los Angeles in that everything is spread out over miles and miles and you really have to know where to go to get good-to-great food for a reasonable price. Unfortunately our shuttle bus could only take us to two places and Downtown Disney was one of them. This placed was packed when we went on a Wednesday night in July. I love that they allow you to order the full menu even if you're sitting at the bar. We ordered a lobster, king crab, and some other crab to split for dinner and made a huge mess with all the shell cracking tools and melted butter. Seafood isn't my favorite type of dish since it usually involves more work (cracking shells is a pain) and more money ($106.18 for two people). The reward was fair, they didn't skimp on the crab meat and our lobster was alright. Nothing blows you away at this place other than it being cool to eat on a riverboat. It's a nice change from all the other restaurants located inside the hotels and boardwalks which are just as expensive. I'm not from Orlando and I'll probably never be there again, but if you're a local and looking for the best seafood at the best price, you won't find it here.

You have to eat here. SO yummy. I tried a bite of everything that was ordered and I will definitely be returning next time I am in town.

If you could give half stars, my rating would be 3 1/2. The prices here are a bit on the higher side but for a decent seafood place, it's kind of expected. Our server was very talkative and explained the menu, specials, recommendations. All night, he was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I ordered the Prix Fixe dinner: Classic Caesar salad, Duet of Crab (10 oz Alaska King crab legs, 10 oz Alaska Snow crab legs) with red bliss potatoes and drawn butter. ($39.95) Why do I mention the server was talkative? After finding out we were from LA, he was more than happy to talk Laker-Heat-Knick basketball (he was originally from NY). We were so into our conversation that when he left, he came back with some of the entrees for the table. I reminded him that I was supposed to get a salad. Honestly, I didn't notice until I saw the entrees coming to the table and it wasn't a big deal to me, but still, details, details. My food was great but then again, can you really mess up some crab legs? Probably but next time I'll definitely try something a little more complex, maybe the Cioppino.

Stephen A.

We ate here twice on our vacation. We came a second time because the first time was so good. Clearly the service is hit or miss because the second time around our food was really bad. Of course we didn't order the same thing both times, however the first experience left us with certain expectations. The Snow crab legs we had our first time were excellent and so were the oysters. The second time we came I had the same oysters which did not taste fresh and were not nearly as meaty as one would expect a Blue Point oyster to be. We also tried the calamari which I should have known was a bad choice when the waiter said they had removed all the tentacles. The tentacles are the best part! Needless to say the calamari tasted like it came from a frozen bag. I had to swallow them down because they tasted so bad. In conclusion I would set my expectations for Fultons to that of a Red Lobster.

Lunch was aweful, except for the crab cake that was the only edible thing on the plate. We went there for lunch one afternoon mistaken that the restaurant was a Wolfgang Puck owned one. Never making that mistake again. The fish and chips were dripping with oil, no seasoning and no taste whatsoever. Never thought someone could make fish and chips this bad. The waitress was really annoying and just kept blabbering some nonsense. Irritating to the power infinity. And then she disappeared and was not to be seen for about 10-15 mins so we had to call another waiter and ask for our check. Bottom line, never eat seafood at a place where you're not sure of the food quality and this one is by far the worst in Downtown Disney for sure. Poor food and poorer customer service.

Stryker C.

Ok, here's the deal. First off, let me say, I am a complete nut for seafood and truly obsessed with crab. If I had to have a last meal, or be sentenced to one food to eat for eternity, steamed blue crabs with Old Bay is how I want to go...ok? So, that being said, the one star. Again, a place that had a lot of hype and manages to charge a lot, needs to be beyond ok. And it's not. This place is unacceptable, My meal, which I had to order and re-order from lack of communication between server and kitchen, let me down a path of frustration. The quality of food items served, pretty poor. I had oysters - big mistake, must have been rookie night at the shucking station, each one I had had many mouthfuls of chips of oyster shell...I can accommodate one like that, but all of my order? WTF? Then I have to say everything else I had was drenched in salty slop, small portions and complete lack of side items, (you've heard there's increased interest in actuall vegetables, right?). The ONLY saving grace of the evening was my bartender who was extremely courteous and deserved the large tip I gave him, though I will never return to this place of seafood nightmares.

P B.

Came with friends on a Saturday for lunch. Service was good. (It wasn't busy.) Had a classic mojito, but was disappointed--especially paying $9. Ordered the fried calamari for the appetizer & it was very good. I ordered a Caesar salad with shrimp & it was good. My husband had the combination fried seafood. It was good, but not a very large serving. In my opinion, the food is average for their prices.

Sharon M.

One of our "must haves" on our trips to WDW. The first time we went to Fulton's, we loved it so much we went again the next night. The King Crab Claw meal is absolutely the best of the best. We are from the northwest so we are exposed to some of the best seafood anyone can offer--Fulton's delivers the goods! The service is excellent. The decor is a little dingy in places, but inviting and cozy. Wine list is delightful, and their sommelier will help you find just what you will enjoy best. For people who keep talking about their expectations from Disney, remember that Fulton's is just on Disney property, but is NOT owned or operated by Disney. It's not even on the dining plan any more (hasn't been for years). I can't recommend this place enough!

Edward B.

Great Seafood, Great Ambiance and decor but expensive (over-priced) due to location in Downtown Disney. I have eaten at Fulton's multiple times during my business trips to Orlando and it is a customer favorite to visit. The Lobster Tail with Crab Claws is an EXCELLENT dish which is my favorite on the menu. On food taste alone I would rate the restaurant a 4 star, but I have to take 1 star away as everytime I get the bill it doesn't seem to justify the meal.

S. V.

When you arrive, they give you this "Fulton's Crab Boursin" mixture, which is a heavenly concoction of cream cheese, crab, garlic, horseradish, hickory smoked mustard, etc. It comes with crackers (no crackers for me, so I was brought celery sticks instead). I actually assumed this mixture was some sort of butter when it first arrived, which of course didn't stop me from spooning it into my mouth solo, before my celery sticks arrived. So, so, good. My crab was cooked to perfection.

Cara S.

This is just what we needed in the middle of eating Disney food for almost a week. Good seafood, nice atmosphere. Would return!

Dale G.

Just enjoyed a fabulous lunch at Fulton's again! They just added lobster corn dogs to the menu which were delicious. Our waiter, Dustin, was very attentive and did an excellent job ensuring we had a great dining experience. We sat up in the front which gave us a nice view of the lake. The food was excellent; my husband had the lobster bisque (one of our favorites) and shrimp po' boy combo, I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich. The crab cake was filled with real crab and no odd preservatives. My husband intensely dislikes the flavor of these preservatives and never eats crab cakes - he loves Fulton's. As a finale we always order a chocolate creme brûlée to share. Delicious. We had a fantastic leisurely lunch with excellent service and great atmosphere. It was a terrific break from the hectic energy of downtown Disney. If you decide to go make a reservation to ensure a table. It can be pricey- lunch is quite reasonable for the quality. The menus are online. They have daily specials. Enjoy!

Gerard B.

(Mar/ 2006) A unique experience to dine on a boat. My boyfriend and I splitted the lobster tail entree with spinach. The lobster tail was good but the spinach side was "different". Overall, an unmemorable meal.

Orlangela A.

She said..."So this place was not what i was expecting. First of all, the only reason i wanted to come here was because i was craving crab dip and wanted to sit outside on their deck they have w/ tables and cairs. Didnt get either of them when i got there. The outside seating was only for the bar or something and they didnt have crab dip at a crab house...hmmm not cool. So i ordered their crab bisque, which wasnt that great, and a cesar salad...which also wasnt that amazing. Another thing, im never paying 9$ for a glass of wine that only costs 11 bucks a bottle at a wine store. This place is too overpriced for the service/food they have. Oh yeah, and i not only had one dead nat in my water, i had two." He said..."So this place started out with 5 stars..then went to 4 when we found a dead gnat in the water...then to 3 stars after the second gnat. This was even before dinner was served. So I ordered the NY strip and when I got my steak it looked like a filet mignon...oh wait it was a filet mignon...they messed up my order but I ate the steak anyways. Very good for filet mignon, not for NY steak. This place is too pricey and is made for tourists. I know I am never going back"

Patty G.

Good seafood. Good service. Good ambiance.

Jenny L.

EXCELLENT PLACE overall!!! Excellent Waiter WES!!!! Food was delicious, we had ordered the lobster ravioli, calamari, crab cake blt, and fish tacos. Defintely RECOMMEND TO ALL!!! ENJOY!!!

Nobbi L.

This was our second visit to the Fulton's Crab House. We had no reservations for lunch but were still accomodated within a few minutes. We waited at the bar, ordered a few drinks, f#cked up ordering and ended up with an extra beer. The bartender just took it back. When I told him that we'd take it anyway since we made the mistake, he gave it to us "on the house"!!! Wow!!! We were led upstairs to the dining room. The five of us sat down and waited quite a while--no problem--we like to hang out and we had drinks from the bar. Eventually a very nice guy came up and apologized; he had not known that we were in his station, and it was his second day. No problem! We ordered. Well, he was a sweetheart but pretty incompetent. He had no idea who had ordered what. It took quite a while to get our stuff (fifteen to twentyfive minutes to get our courses). He forgot dressings and delivered then about ten minutes after the dishes. I finally got my wine after I was done with my meal. I had requested either louis or 1000 island dressing with my king crab. He had told me they had both, so I asked for the louis. He brought me blue cheese. When I told him about it, he brought me 1000 island. No prob. Overall the server was a sweetheart but really not just new but incompetent. For the prices, that's not ok. And the time it took to get the dishes was much too long. I don't think it was the server's fault. So, for Disney it was not quite up to par.

Jude B.

We had a reservation for 5 ....3 adults and 2 kids, our waiter was pleasant and helpful. We arrived 20 minutes early and we sat at table way to small for the group, so we asked to be moved. Once we ordered it took longer than average for our food to arrive and our drinks came later after we asked for them. 4 of our dishes came out mismatched with sides so we all played food swap when plates arrived. The food we ordered were fish tacos, fish & chips, lobster roll, and the kids hot dog and chicken strips. The taste of the food was average nothing tasted exceptional or fresh, more like old oil except for the fish tacos which were tasty. The lobster roll was good, and the fries were light and crispy. On one of our sides we had ordered a baked potato and celery &carrots with dip. The celery came out unwashed with dirt still visible on it. Unfortunately the baked potato wasn't available till after 4pm. The waiter was very nice and brought over a few boiled red potatoes as a substitute. Oh and if you don't ask for the bread you wont get it. Overall the food wasn't anything that we will need to return for and the use of our dining discount of 20% made it a bit easier when we got the check of about $61.00 after discount. Truthfully I feel we could have found a more tastier lunch for a lot less considering what we ordered. Very pretty boat though!

L M.

We always eat here at the end of our Disney trip and it's consistently good. The food is great-especially love the fish and chips. The wait staff is always friendly, prompt and helpful. We had Jesus as our waiter. My husband ordered a Bud Light with his meal and after Jesus returned with our drinks, he told my husband they were out of Bud Light and listed about 5 other popular beers they were out of. Seemed odd, but my husband finally found one he likes that they had in stock. Jesus went to get it and came back with a Bud Light and said he'd found a 6 pack that had been overlooked, which made my husband very happy-Jesus saved the day! I'd definitely return here! Prices are pretty good-maybe a little high, but worth it.

Larr r.

My Parents loved this place. The manager Cesar went out of his way to help me make my mothers birthday special. Service was great, awesome view of downtown disney. There will be some kids and very crowded, but that is Disney. Make a reservation or expect long lines. Staff is awesome.

Nona L.

Our waitress was super nice and very sympathetic to the fact that I was about to cut someone if I didn't get some food. She brought drinks and bread right away. That crab dip stuff that comes with the bread is just okay - a little fishy for me. I ordered the crab claws for dinner and I was so brain dead I was having issues. The waitress actually put gloves on and came over to help me crack my crab. Once I actually got to eat some, the crab was fresh, sweet, and delicious. Really good! We ate here late in the evening, so we got specialized service - there weren't a lot of other tables. I think if we had gone during a busier time, we would have gotten service more suited to TGI Fridays or similar, so I can understand some of the complaints about service. I would definitely go back.

Jimmy S.

Downtown Disney seafood place, its pricey. disneyworld.disney.go.co… The conch fritters was more fritter than conch. The best conch fritter is being served from a cart on the pier in Key West. Ordered the Seafood Cioppino, it was ok, didnt think it was worth $34.95, though. The fish was dry and something? I dont know what kind of fish. It wasnt flaky at all. The shrimps were huge, an oxymoron. I would prefer more spice in the sauce. I believe Joes Crab Shack wouldve been just as tasty for a lot less money.

Adam B.

This review is going to be short and simple. I really didn't like this restaurant too much. Now don't get me wrong, the service was attentive and the setting was unique (a ferry boat that didn't move), but the food was unspectacular and uniqueness was nowhere to be found. I can honestly find better seafood choice at the frozen food section of my local supermarket. However, there was one thing that I did enjoy, the calamari. This lightly breaded appetiizer was fresh, chewy, and delicious. Overall, other than the calamari strips, this is a restaurant that I will probably never go to again. I'm going to go ahead and check this off my list of "never to go" restaurants. But this is strictly my opinion and you can go ahead and give it a try. Maybe I'm just a little picky these days...who knows.

Betty C.

This place is strictly for tourists from locations in the US with lousy seafood. The ambiance is great. The service was wonderful, attentive and friendly. We had a great view. That's worth one star. Just don't eat any of the food. I'd been to two other seafood restaurants for dinner in the local area and this was the most expensive and worse quality. Florida has great seafood. There is no excuse for the food they served. The seafood tasted like it'd been thawed by running it under the hot water faucet. The crab legs were string-y, mushy and sopping wet. The scallops were nicely spiced but inedible anyway. They tasted like the scallops that are soaked in preservative to get them to the supermarket. A seafood restaurant with (I presume) daily deliveries can do much better. The shrimp was once again sopping wet with a faint mealy texture. Completely lacking in the nice snap and flavor from decent shrimp. I have frozen shrimp in my freezer that I treat with respect and come out delicious. The lobster bisque was poorly balanced. The lobster flavor was faint. No noticeable sherry flavor and overwhelming cream. I was starting to feel faintly nauseated by end of the bowl. Thank God, I had that cheap hot dog earlier otherwise I would have been forced to eat the whole meal. Wish I'd had more beer so I could drown out the memory.

Matthew H.

AVOID AVOID AVOID. This place is way overpriced and they have food similar to a buffet. I would compare it to Texas Roadhouse (seafood style) and three times the cost. Not a good place to go. We sampled a lot of the menu and nothing justified the price. There are a lot better places out there so don't fall into this tourist trap.

Dan G.

Gotta tell you... although the service was great, the food was lousy... both dishes were pretty poor for a high end stop like this... we ordered Wahoo which was dry and tasteless and the server said they must have overcooked it... so she took it back and they did not have any uncooked (or were out of) wahoo, so they substituted crab cakes and they were undercooked... for some unknown reason I wanted steak that night and they were very expensive, so thought it still would be good even tho a seafood joint... well I thought wrong... the NY Strip I ordered was tough and less than flavorful... there are many better choices out there for much less in price, so of course I won't be back...

Carina R.

So, I went to Fulton's when on training with the company. I went with about 15 other people. The restaurant tried their best to accommodate this, but seating was a little tight. But we made it work. They had, what seemed like a team of waiters serving us, which I liked due to the large group. We ordered bottles of wine, appetizers (which were basically their large sample platters of all their appetizers), and soup. The apps were pretty good - the most memorable was their ahi tuna and their oysters. Thoroughly enjoyed these. I then ordered the surf and turf - ordered my steak medium well. The lobster tail that came with the dish wasn't that big or meaty, but tasted good. The steak was ehhhh. But I expected this seeing how it's a crab house. Everyone else at the table seemed to enjoy their food. One of my coworkers let me try the crab cakes and these were pretty good too, but super huge and filling! Overall everyone seemed happy with their meals, but not ecstatic and I shared that sentiment. I don't know if I would go back to this place? Maybe? It's a little touristy and seems to be really busy all the time because of this.

Joe I.

We were there today for Father's day after seeing the Car show and we never even got served lunch after 90 minutes with small children in our party. I suggest spending your money elsewhere, but can't judge the food since we never got ours.

Oliver C.

I signed up for Yelp specifically due to this being the worst dinning experience I have had. My wife and I stopped in for appetizers and they were horrible- Crab Cakes were not even fully cooked, Caesar salad- no taste whatsoever. Also had the Mussels and Clams appetizer- my first mussel was rank. I will never eat here again. I recommend you don't either. Totally ruined my night. Food a few nights later was better at T-rex cafe. Skip and go to somewhere like Roy's for quality dinning.

Jules T.

I'm only in it for the crab claws, though I must admit that I've had them over cooked and a little dry, but for the most part they have been heaven. I can't even tell you what else is on the menu because all I care about are the claws. (soups are eh, salmon: eh, crab cakes: eh, dessert: yummy)

Elisa T.

If you absolutely want to eat in Downtown Disney, be ready for some pricey places because you are paying for the atmosphere inside and outside of all the restaurants. Fulton's Crab House is situated in a transformed steamship. Almost anywhere you sit inside has a view of the outdoors, always nice. The whole menu is fish so be prepared for that. (There are other "kid-friendly" restaurants in Downtown Disney..Rainforest Cafe, etc.) The food was good, but not so good that I would go back next time I visit Orlando. I think there are far better restaurants to try outside of the Disney area...if you are looking for good food at more reasonable prices (meals at Fulton's ranged anywhere from $23-$50...and were served a la carte). If you do go, do not order the Fried Calamari app, instead try the Crab Cakes or diver scallops. Tip: Make a reservation.

Dustee M.

I waited so long to get to eat here, against the advice of my husband I went anyway. A $100 later for drinks 1 dinner & an app, so disappointed! The worst ever, it ruined my evening. Such a bummer awful cold food. I sat at bar, stuffy service. They never even asked once how it was, I assume because they knew it was horrible!! Please take a foodies advice don't get sucked in, it looks fun, your in FL seafood! Yuck I also thought under the disney umbrella it must be good!! NOT!!!

Devika A.

Fulton's crab house caught my attention. The bright lights and dinner on boat sounded too good when I first visited downtown Disney this was one of the restaurants that caught my attention. We walked inside to check for wait time which was about 1 hour, that didn't work as we had to go back to a welcome party that was hosted by the conference. We came back couple days after to have dinner and decided it was worth waiting 45 minutes since we are not going to come back to Florida any time soon. We waited patiently for 45 minutes till finally seated. I have to say it was the best dinner I had in Orlando in comparison to Johnny's Hideaway, Smokey Bones, and Cuban Restaurant. Keep in mind this place is expensive. I ordered crab cake dinner with a side of French fries and blue lagoon fruit punch drink. The food was delicious, French fries were crispy and the house cracker with dressing was delicious--that alone was a moderate price and worth paying. Our server was very experienced and took good care of us. He had sensed that we were not locals and asked us where we were from-- he was very friendly and courteous

Gordon W.

Food was great, service fantastic, and flies :-(. There were lots of flies bothering us during the meal and this is inside, get some flypaper. Old time sticky paper that flies stick to.

Jill H.

Had a lovely time at the bar at Fultons for drinks and a snack. The ambiance was very enjoyable, and my server 'Sara' was friendly and made me feel so welcome, comfortable and appreciated as a customer. I would recommend this with 6 stars were it possible.

Keri W.

Went here one evening to grab a few appetizers and dessert for the kids. Great service, loved the atmosphere (overlooking the water), and oysters and crab cakes were really good! Kids enjoyed their "make your own sundae" and the fact that they could color all over the "paper" tablecloths! Pricey, yes....but again, its Disney! Would go back to try dinner for sure!

Lee H.

We ended up here accidently. I sure wish that didnt happen. Our table of 4 arrived around 9pm. We were seated within 10 minutes, so far so good. And then things went down hill. Dirty glass, a little mint with my dirty martini, horrible ceaser salad and tasteless cioppino. My girlfriend ordered the lobster bisque and not just like everything else it wasnt good. The only good item was the wine.

Bo E.

I ate here before my marathon run. I was looking forward to some good seafood. I thought judging by the long wait and the prices that the food would be great. Turned out crappy. The ratatouille doesn't taste like it's suppose to, the lobster mac and cheese was soupy and tasted like crap. The only thing that was good there was the bread and crackers spread and the oysters. I mean how can you mess up oysters though? If they did, they have some real issues. The meal prices was overpriced for the baby food that was being served. Not worth the money, wait or my time. The service was at least nice.

Michelle N.

One of the best restaurants I have ever dined in. With reservations, we still had a 45 minute wait in Downtown Disney, but I write this review with full recommendations telling you it was worth the wait! We started our meal with a half dozen of the fresh oysters and the New England Clam Chowder. All good, but the clam chowder was nothing special. For the main entrees, we opted for the Louie Fulton's Ultimate Crab and Lobster Experience For Two - their specialty combination: a feast of steamed crab and lobster. Alaska king crab, snow crab, dungeness crab and 1 1/4 lb. Maine lobster, with hash browns and grilled asparagus. It truly was "The Experience"! It was the best seafood I have ever eaten. Waitress was attentive - service was fantastic, multiple servers came by to refill our drinks and check in on us. We had a divine seafood feast for under $150. I would definitely recommend this for the seafood lover and a must for the Disney World travelers!

Michael S.

Very slow and cumbersome service. Very nice setting however the food is just so so, perhaps a notch above Red Lobster comci comca. Would not go again.

Kelly B.

Located in Downtown Disney, this is an upscale restaurant. The food and service are amazing. Yes, a very pricey. I am not a fan of seafood, but the steaks here are fabulous and made to perfection. Want a special treat, then dine here. The building resembles an historic paddle boat, inside and out.

Patricia G.

great selection in seafood. great crab legs and cheesecake!

Kent H.

Highly overrated. The price and the taste/value are not a good ratio. The food is way over priced, being in downtown Disney. I had the lobster tail, alaskan crab claws, and vegetables. The lobster tail was salty and was not sweet at all. The crab claws which are also a signature item were dry as well. However the crackers and crab cream cheese was phenomenal. It was not good enough to give this place a better rating. The price didn't help.

Alex C.

I know this is a tourist spot in the heart of Disney, but this was just an absurd night and dining experience. Reservations made for a large group well in advance. Still waited for close to an hour for our table. We were then jammed into a side room up against the wall. Nothing memorable other then the Linguini with clam sauce, not ina good way.. Maybe 4 fork fulls of Pasta and what looked like canned clam sauce. Upon an older gentlemen in my party asking the waiter, "Is the linguini coming on the side" and getting a snide remark back we were given a side dish of pasta, which was the charged to our bill. Never again!

Lenka G.

I went there because I could not remember why we decided not to go back. After waiting on our food for over an hour, I quickly remembered why. The salad needed extra dressing, the $60 crab claws were dry and there were only 5 of them. The crab legs were dry. The best part of the meal were the extra fries that I ordered. The meal was extremely overpriced for crummy food.

Mimio G.

Best crab cakes I've ever eaten! But large fish tacos with one miserable little piece of fish in them and one half head of broccoli steamed that costs nearly $10!? Come on Fulton. You can do a better job here for the money that people pay.

Michelle M.

I wish I could give three and half... We enjoyed everything. But yes a little too pricey... We had fried calamari yes excellent. My 6 year old had clam chowder and she said best ever. My 3 year didn't want much. I had Mahi fish tacos which were great with slaw and pico de gallo. My mom had bisque and salad. Food was good but not worth prices. Glanced at other tables and stuff way more expensive also probably not worth it.

Justin W.

This place has good food and service. On my prior visit I got a so so lobster bisque. On this visit, I got blackened Mahi Mahi fish tacos at the servers suggestion and they were great!

Conal G.

Spendy for the very below mediocre quality of food. Daughter and I both got sick from this place. This is what I get for eating in a touristy area.

Laura L.

I am not one to write bad reviews, I prefer to just not go there again but this place requires attention. On a recommendation we made reservations to Fultons. To start the host, Reggie, actually ignored a customer in a wheel chair and continued taking others until my fiancee told Reggie to take care of him. To make it worse the customer in the wheel chair was a Gulf War Vet. The strong smell of fish and the FILTHY women's bathroom were clues two and three. We should have left then but ignorance is bliss. Our waiter Jamel only visited our table three times the entire meal. No one asked us for drinks or how our meal was. I found it amusing that a family that complained got extra attention. In this case the squeaky wheel got the grease. Too bad I'm writing the review. The food was OK but took over two hours to have a meal with out desert. I am so unhappy with the experience the emails to Fulton's and Disney with not be as kind as this review. AVOID this restaurant and go to Bluezoo at the Dolphin for seafood instead.

Chris M.

Took the family out for daughters bday! Very impressed w/ the service and food. Would visit again!

Tracy G.

I guess I was otherwise occupied in June last year, because I am finding reviews that I meant to write, but didn't. This is one of them .... After the wedding, we came here for the lunch. It was a easy choice ... of course I would want to have crab on my wedding day. The meal was great and the service was excellent, nothing was delayed and our party numbered 17. We had a private area ... that made it easier for all to travel around the table to talk to all. What my sister learned, when you let your daughter order anything off the children's menu ... make sure you know all the options you just gave her. We found out when the food came ... she had ordered the King Crab Legs. She loved them and ate most of them. They were concerned that her meal cost more than theirs ... I was just glad that my flower girl had the meal that she wanted and she loved it.

Jeff F.

Great restaurant -great food -great service but your going to pay for it. remember its Disney PS ... its not a real boat haha

Bill w.

Visited this past Friday for lunch, we sat at the bar which had no wait. Great service, great food. Stone crab was cooked perfect, in fact we ate a pound each. Always one of my fav places to go when at Disney!

Dustin K.

Best Key Lime pie in FL soo far

Meggen D.

It's nice when you can go to a nice seafood restaurant but still wear a t-shirt and jeans, crack crabs and lobsters with your bear hands, and throw back some raw oysters without feeling completely disgusting and out of place. Fulton's is like that. Unpretentious. They don't take themselves too too seriously. What we tried and what we thought: -Connecticut Blue Point Raw Oysters: yum! I can't get enough of these little babies! The cool thing about raw oysters at Fulton's is that you can order 1 or you can order 15. They're sold by the oyster. However, there's no discount for ordering a dozen. -Dungenous crab: perfectly steamed with no extra flavors or seasonings. You could taste the delicate crabby goodness, and the texture was just perfect! -Chicken and Mushroom Bucatini: the pasta itself was perfectly-cooked. However, the sherry was a bit too sweet for me, and the large pieces of mushrooms and excessive amount of chicken chunks made it difficult to eat a lot of. Which might be a good thing? -Grilled asparagus: cooked very well (still had a little bite to it) and seasoned simply. You could really taste the grill! -Sauteed Mushrooms: Again with the large chunks of mushroom! I've definitely had better sauteed mushroom experiences, but these were good. Overall, I had a great experience. The wait staff is super nice, and the restaurant itself is clean and tidy. They've got the best view in Downtown Disney. You should definitely give it a try if you need a good seafood fix and are in the area!

Very expensive but the food is great. Best shrimp in the world. Great food!

My family came here for my Dad's birthday. We were excited to go, had heard many good things, my Dad hadn't been in years.... it was a highly anticipated meal. The service was great. Our waitress was really nice, she explained all the dishes well, recommended meals that weren't the top dollar entrees, and kept our water glasses full. The food. Not good. Everyone's meal was over cooked. I had probably the worst prepared lobster I've ever had, EVER! It was rubbery and slimy because they didn't drain it after cooking. For instance, when I cracked into the claw, a river of water poured out onto my plate, drenching everything. The meat was inedible. Luckily it was stuffed with some shrimp and scallops. While they were also over done, they were still tasty. My Dad did love his king crab legs, and that's what mattered. The sour cherry cobbler for dessert was really awesome. I can't go up from 2 stars though. For a restaurant to tank in the delivery of the main dish, that is just bad.

I love Fultons, it's consistently delicious with impeccable service and a daily printed menu. Our last trip was especially excellent. I went for the appetizer of Portobello Mushroom fries, it's the only place I've ever found them, and they're impossibly good. Entree was the Alaskan Halibut with honey mustard glaze, and a trio of sorbets for dessert. Every dish was delicious, and I opted for a Mojito to drink, which was smooth and minty (also, a stick of sugar cane added, which was a nice touch). Prices were high, as to be expected, but our waitress was friendly and efficient, despite being swamped with work, and she had plenty of suggestions without being overbearing. Don't expect to eat in a hurry, as the dishes can take a while to prepare, and there are kids, like there are in most Disney restaurants, but if you make a late reservation, you can have a great experience regardless.

Manuel R.

Went for lunch. Food was mediocre and service left a LOT to be desired. Cold soup, had to ask for my wine about 5 times, not going back any time soon

Pamela E.

Somewhat pricey, but the food is great. Teh staff is friendly and you should make a reservation- as it's usually packed! Not necesarily a complaint, just an observation: everytime my husband asked our waiter for a recommendation, his "favorite" was always the most expensive.

Esther E.

Awesome!!! My fiancee and I came here for our New Year's Eve dinner. We absolutely loved it. The restaurant is a big ship that sits there and its beautifully lit at night. We had reservations and arrived early but had no waiting time. Upon checking in with the hostess, we were escorted to our seats which had a beautiful view of the water. The decor is very fancy...the wait staff wear formal wear as well. Sorta felt like I was dining on the Titanic. We ordered some wine (they have a variety of wines both by the bottle and by the glass). We had the fried calamari to start and we shared the crab, lobster plate for 2. We definitely over ordered. The fried calamari is the best I've ever had--it was plump and full of flavorful and it wasn't just the taste of the fried breading. We couldn't even finish it! It tasted extremely fresh. Then came the main course and it was a lot of work to get our food. Our waitress was very helpful in telling us what tool did what and we had a fun time getting our food out. We couldn't finish the whole platter. To note, the lobster was a tad salty for our tasting. Service was spectacular! We had a wonderful meal and experience :) It was very pricey though-our whole check came to around 150...but it was worth it!

Gerry J.

This place is a bit pricey, but, hey, it's Disney! Here for a work gig, I went to Fulton's the other night with one of my coworkers. The food was very good, but the greatest thing about this place was our server: Mary! She was, without a doubt, one of the most attentive, caring (OK, you never know if it's an act, but it seemed sincere!) , personable wait persons I can recall in recent memory. She really made our experience there worth the premium one pays. We wish you well!

Sharon G.

I went here with a co-worker of mine last night and we have to say, we've definitely had better. Coming from San Francisco, we were pretty aware of what good seafood/steak would taste like and had pretty high expectations. They charged a pretty penny for seafood, so of course we were expecting great flavors and fresh seafood. Not so much. I had a crab cake that was lacking moisture and a medium rare New York strip steak that turned out medium well/well. Horrible- and the waiter (who was super nice) offered me a steak knife when what I really needed was a handsaw. My co-worker had the lobster and crab bisque which after a sip, she said she's had better. She had stuffed shrimp, but it was overcooked and tough. So was the shrimp just not fresh or overcooked? If you really want seafood, I'd think twice before I pay this much for mediocre.

cming t.

the Duet of crabs was delightful. lets just say - there was silence at the dinner table. Need i say more =)

bernice c.

What a total rip off! I came here last Friday with my boyfriend, while we were on our Disney World vacation. We thought this would be the best meal, because its the most expensive thing in the whole Disney resort (it's $$$$). We both ordered the the Alaska King Crab Claws (custom cut steamed king crab claws, with red skin potatoes and drawn butter 1 1/2 lb. - $49.95) and I ordered an extra lobster bisque. This was the smallest portions ever 4 small pinchers and a tail, with 3 red potatoes. The soup was un-edible it was so thick and bland. Didn't even taste like lobster more like thick expired milk. I'm not sure about all the other food everyone else is talking about, but definitely don't get what we got. Completely not worth it!

Moni M.

AWESOME FOOD & service! Impressed! Crab cakes: large & fresh; my niece devoured her Alaskan King Crab w/o the butter! Pricey but service & atmosphere well worth it. Crowds after 6pm, before, no wait!

Robert P.

Calamari appetizer was really good. Sliders were excellent too. A little pricey for the portions, but you have to expect to get ripped off a little in a tourist place, especially Disney. Par for the course.

Jeff W.

stone crab, Alaskan king crab, Australian lobster tail, filet mignon. served on a riverboat restaurant that is docked in Walt Disney World. how much happier can the "happiest place on earth get?" you can skip the portobello fries. it's just a deep fried mushroom. the filet was grilled to perfection and lightly seasoned. the Aussie lobster tail was also grilled and very tasty. service was efficient and friendly.

Joan M.

YUMMY! The Alaskan King Crabs are THE BEST :) My husband had the seafood cioppini and it was delicious too. The kids had Snow Crabs on their menu and fish n' chips. Excellent restaurant. THe setting is great too, big boat on the water. If you are a seafood lover, definitely worth going to Downtown Disney for this.

Trevor H.

I made reservations at Fulton's for what I hoped would be a high end dinner to cap off my wife and I's honeymoon. We show up at the restaurant and tell them my name. They ask me how many are in my party. Isn't that the purpose of a reservation then tell us a table will be ready shortly, again the purpose of a reservation. We started wih the mushroom fries, which were drenched in oil. Fried food is fried food, but this seemed excessive. I ordered the seafood sampler. It was almost forty dollars and was literally 3 scallops and 3 shrimp and some wilted spinach veggie thing that tasted like piss. She had the chicken breast and has said she has had better at lower class chain restaurants. Upon making our reservation they ask you if there is a special occasion to which I replied our honeymoon. Most Disney area places comp you a dessert or something. But not even a congratulations was muttered. Apparently they forgot with all the other inrormation from my reservation they forgot. I gave two stars only because the wait staff was good, otherwise it's a 1. Far better places on the Disney property for less money. Rather then fultons crap house try Teppan edo in Epcot. By all means avoid this tourist trap.

Last Saturday, a friend and I had dinner at Fulton's and we had a marvelous experience. We walked in without reservations around 10:30pm and there was a decent amount of people seated and a handful of people still arriving. Although this is not my first time dining in Downtown Disney, it was my first time at Fulton's. We sat upstairs on the boat and had a table near a window overlooking the lake. Our waitress, Julie, was perfect in every way....made great recommendations, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered a mai tai and it was literally the best one I have ever had. They even put rock candy (yes, the stuff you ate as a child that popped in your mouth) in the drink so it sizzled while being placed in front of me. It was a nice little touch to make it unique. The Crab Boursin with crackers was to die for and was thrilled when Julie gave us a card with the recipe on it. I will be sure to make it the next time I have friends over. I had the new england clam chowder soup and my friend had he lobster bisque. We were both quite satisfied with our selections and even loved the presentation of Julie pouring our soups in front of us from these little old fashion kettles. For my main entree, I had the stuffed shrimp with broccoli- everything was perfect- even the sauce served with the entree was incredible. Both of us barely finished our meals so we did not have any room for dessert. I cannot say enough about our waitress- she did all the little things that make a huge difference while dining at a restaurant. She answered our questions honestly about different items on the menu when trying to make our selection, she stopped by several times to make sure each course was to our liking and refilled our water without us asking ( a big one for me). It has been a long time since I have experienced this level of service at a restaurant and it was a complete pleasure to have our last dinner in Orlando at Fulton's. I highly recommend anyone trying to decide which restaurant to choose at Downtown Disney to eat here, you won't be disappointed!!

I love this place! Have the crab claws, you'll order more and more!

Julie N.

Shame on me for not yelping this place before going. We were taken by the hostess who wasn't very friendly up to the top of the stairs to be seated. She attempted to seat us next to a child having a meltdown, so we asked to be moved to a more private area, and she said she had to check...very rudely. So, we sat down finally in a nice area by a window. My husband ordered the grouper, and I had the crab cakes. My crab cakes were just ok...nothing special and one of them was cold. My husband's Grouper wasn't fully cooked and was chewy. They took it back and we waited....and waited....and waited....meanwhile I finished with my meal. Finally the manager comes out with a new dish....he was incredibly rude and we practically had to beg to get the entree taken off our bill as compensation. The manager should have come out immediately. Very poor managerial skills!! We will never go back!!

Kim M.

Consistently good. Excellent quality seafood. The King Crab Claws are amazing. One of the best wine lists in town.

Paul B.

Crab's where very good, a little bit expensive but then again you're on Disney property. Just be aware that they do include the tip into the check... "To Insure Promptness" well I guess they decide that for you

Shaggy S.

We waited about an hour to be seated. When we were ordered we found that this place was worth the wait. Of the many seafood restaurants I have visited this one is going to be the go to spot when I come back to Florida. The wait staff is also to be recognized for their prompt service. The King Crab legs are to die for. I also ordered the calamari I was not pleased with the serving portion considering it cost me 11$ and Olive Garden is half that but more food. Take Heed.

Pat J.

I enjoyed my experience at Fulton's. Only problem with the services was a wait, even with reservations. Can't really recall the appetizer of crab cakes. However, decided on the Ultimate Crab and Lobster Experience. Crab was great and lobster was okay. Ordered a side of their hash browns, which I don't think is on the menu any longer, but more or less forgot about them due to the amount of the crab and lobster.

Rita W.

SO disappointed with Fulton's! We've been coming here for years - usually a birthday or anniversary, but the last two times we noticed the food quality and service have really gone down. They used to have an outstanding menu and the food was terrific, but tonight was a waste of money. Sorry to say this, but do yourself a favor and skip this one. Flying Fish at the Boardwalk has much better seafood for about the same price. Has Fulton's changed management?

Jen L.

I didn't expect much from this place, being in a major tourist area with limited dining options and all. We ordered the stone crab claws (yum!) and 2 of each type of oysters they had for appetizer. The crab claws were pre-cracked and very meaty. They ran out of one type of oyster and the waiter replaced it with another type without asking! That wasn't very nice and the waiter should be aware when certain foods run out. For entree, we ordered the crab claws and lobster tail and also salmon. The crab and lobster were fresh and had a great natural flavor. There wasn't much they can do to ruin it because adding too much salt, which they did. The salmon was decent but a little mush in the middle. The garlic sauce was lacking in garlic flavor. We also ordered a bloody mary and mojito, both lacking in flavor and booze. It seems like a common theme in the restaurant to make everything as mild and unobtrusive as possible. The dishes were also not dressed up. If you order salmon, you got a piece of salmon. No frills. The salmon I ordered was apparently a la carte, and came with no veggies or sides. It was not clear from the menu. The waiter was nice and attentive, maybe too attentive. He came over too many times to ask if we were doing ok. He also ended practically everything sentence with sir or ma'am and that made me feel uncomfortable. Yes sir, very good sir, lovely choice ma'am... still a decent waiter nonetheless. Overall - the seafood was fresh and nothing was screwed up too badly. not worth the price, but you're in Disney and you have no choice!!

Hunter W.

This place was awesome! The atmosphere was amazing as well as the food. This place is called crab house for a reason. The Alaskan Crab was the best crab I've had. The service was spectacular as well. If your lucky enough to get Russell as a waiter, then you are in for a treat. If you are willing to pay more for the best food, then this is the place to eat. Don't forget to make reservations!

Lexi B.

Went to Fulton's while on vacation with my mother..Our waiter recommended his personal favorite "Lobster Narragansett". IT WAS AMAZING! I've never finished an entire meal and i ate the whooole thing! LOOOOVED it..It even looked so pretty when it was brought out that i took a picture of it :). I've also been there before for my birthday and they give you a cute little fish shaped cake with a candle in it..very cute!

Tressi J.

I must have been really hungry the first time I ate here, because I think I remember it being good. But my most recent visit was just average, and expensive!!! Not worth the wad of cash I dropped on the steak and crab legs. Meat was rather bland, and the touristy thing was getting to me this time.....

Daniel W.

Decent food and service. Nothing extra-ordinary.

Ashley K.

I am not a seafood eater but my boyfriend is, and we both enjoyed ourselves. For dinner, make a reservation and try to get seated outside. It's totally worth it. This is almost what makes eating here more desirable because you are sitting right on the water and its really nice. The service was a little less to be desired. I recall it being a little slow and a little chaotic feeling. I had a steak which was good but not overwhelming good. My boyfriend had crab legs, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The dessert is what I really remember vividly. Chocolate creme brulee. It was out of this world good. This actually tasted like an authentic creme brulee and not like a chocolate pudding with a hard top. This might have been a dessert special of the day, but if you go and they have it - order it and you will not be disappointed.

Stephan P.

A $43 steak served with a butter knife. Overpriced, overcrowded, don't waste your time

Steve H.

Disappointed. 4 of 5 of our meals were good. My Stone Crab was really poor. I let our server know and he explained that "they are prepared on the boat and we don't cook them." I left looking forward to my next Filet-o-Fish at McD's. Our server said he let the manager know but nothing was done. Not the level of Disney experience that I would expect. Food overall a 2.5. Customer service a 0.5. One bad dish can make a difference. My family will not be going back.

Yisha P.

Good crab and lobster!

Tony B.

A bit pricey but not too bad. Definitely better than the local all u can eat crab joints.

Tim B.

The line was huge for this place but absolutely worth the wait. For seafood lovers, this is a must in Downtown Disney. The Alaskan King Crab legs were market price of $60 during my visit however this place accepts the Disney Dining Plan and was only 1 entree credit. In addition to the fantastic food, the drinks are phenomenal. The lemon iced tea smash is probably my favorite cocktail ever!

Dov D.

Decent at best. What do you expect from such a populated place. Lobster corn dogs a MUST NOT GET. Too greasy not good wouldn't suggest. Service however was excellent

Cameron F.

This was a really good seafood place, although it is incredibly crowded ALL THE TIME. We booked a reservation a day in advance and when we got there the next day, it was incredibly packed, and even with a reservation it took 20 minutes before we were actually seated. We were seated in the best place too because there were 2 huge televisions with sportscenter on. I enjoyed that. I also enjoyed the boat scenery, especially since we were having dinner on a boat! In this boat you could eat either inside or outside, on the upper or lower decks. But I mean wherever you can be sat, just deal with it. This isn't the place to ask for better seating. You're lucky you're even getting a seat because it's so crowded. The restaurant in general is very expensive, especially their lobster. I got the add-on lobster which was a 1 pound lobster which was fine for me because I wasn't dying for food. It also came with 3 potatoes which were amazing. They had a nice touch of olive oil with salt, pepper, and cilantro. Absolutely delicious. The lobster was cooked to perfection and it tasted amazing. We also got a shrimp cocktail, but it took them 15 minutes to bring out, and we didn't even finish it before the main courses came. It kind of felt like they were trying to rush us out. Even so, their food was amazingly tasty and the butter dipping sauce also tasted great. It was the perfect portion size even though it was a long wait for the food. Definitely a recommended restaurant but you have to be prepared for the long waiting, even with the reservation. It's amazing how desperate people are for a meal I mean why would anyone wait an hour and a half for dinner?! That's completely ridiculous you could eat in 2 other restaurants before even being served your food at the hour and a half one. If you do happen to find a wait over 45 minutes which is likely, just find a different restaurant in Downtown Disney. There's like 5 other ones, I'm sure you'll find something. You will also have to encounter small children, which could ruin your meal. Even so, you don't have to dress all fancy. A t-shirt and shorts are fine. Also, with the huge amount of seating even though it's crowded, the restaurant itself isn't really loud.

Sarah G.

Loved it! Outstanding! The best meal we had during our recent Orlando visit!!!!!! We needed to push back our dinner reservation, and they were quite accomodating. When we arrived, we were seated immediately and the wait staff took good care of us. He had: Surf & Turf - New York Strip steak mw, cooked to perfection (I stole a big ol' piece), and the King Crab claws which were devoured before I could get my hands on any. It was really easy to crack them, and the meat just fell out! Wow!!!! I had: Snow Crab legs, my all-time favorite. These were the best snow crab legs I'd had in ages. Huge and meaty, easy to get open...though I did accidentally fling a piece of shell across the room :) Taste was sweet and mild, not too salty and gross as they can be in lesser places (*cough cough Red/Dead Lobster *cough cough). As my grandmother says, It was a shame to get full. Can't wait until my next trip to Orlando to come here again!

Brian W.

maybe 3.5 considering the price. An option in the tourist trap of Disney Downtown to possibly escape a long wait and second-rate food, of course, expect to pay for this. We hit Disney Downtown at peak time with no reservations, all the places that were ok for kids had at least 1 hr wait. We were starving and getting irritable! Finally made our way to the expensive, but nicer, Fulton's Crab House. We figured a wait, but the place is big, and the high price filters out most families with little kids (if my kids were still little, I'd avoid it too). We ordered crab, fish, steak. I had the Seafood Cioppino, it was very good. We paid a hefty price for 6, but the food was reasonably good all were pleased. The setting is great. On an old steamboat that is very well decorated and restored, and nice views. Very cool! Our service was good too. The food excellent, but not 5 stars, and you pay as if it was, but that's expected at this location. Hey, we were on vacation! One warning, the salmon is cooked medium-rare, so be sure to specify when ordering if you want more done than that. Also, when we ate, we were starving, so that my have biased us on the high side.

DC S.

I recently dined here with my extended family (sister, niece, parents, etc.). The service was AMAZING!!! Our waiter was great with the kids (as to be expected on a Disney property) and humorous with the rest of us. The food was delicious. I'd highly recommend making a reservation.

Daniel K.

This restaurant in Downtown Disney was a disappointment. Loud Crowded, and way overpriced. Don't waste your $$. You can eat better and for half the price just a few blocks away outside the Disney Downtown...see the reviews for Bahama Breeze

Carla G.

It's nothing great! The service was decent I've made reservations because of a special occasion and requested lake view. My party was 5 adults but yet we got seated in a middle table surrounded by children! Ok fine I'll deal with it I figured oh and the lake view was blocked by a sign lol We ordered calamari and it was salty the breading reminded me of chicken nuggets my drink Strawberry Fizz was more like a super sweet lemonade I'm no lush but I do expect alcohol in my drink! The seafood tower was another disappointment runny oysters salty crab legs the lobster was poorly picked NO one in my table enjoyed their order I was upset since I did pick the place : ( Icing on the cake was a screaming child that went on for quite a bit!!!! I was over Fulton's at that point I couldn't wait to get out of there! I will not return ever nor will I ever recommend this place the food is NOT worth it by any means.

Randy H.

Have eaten here a couple times. My wife and I love seafood and while staying in-park we wanted to get out and see what we could find. I was hesitate, given the obvious tourist mecca in which the Crab House resides but we were both pleasantly surprised. We could have been in a fine, New England seafood diner for all I knew. The food was fresh. Service friendly and knowledgeable. We went back a couple nights later!

Jenny C.

I love to eat here with my mom and dad, The food is always good l like to sit on the bow of the boat outside during the dinner hours after sunset is the best. I always get the crabs they are amazing snow crab they also have a nice clam chowder. The lobster bisque is really spicy!! I also had the Mussels and did not find them to be gritty. They were nice not to big but the flavor was good. They serve dinner with a nice bread i do like a nice brown bread before a late dinner. The prices on the menu are much higher then you would find in a regular seafood restaurant, it is in Disney don't forget. I love how friendly the staff is they are accommodating to your every need. The food is always good, and always overpriced!!

Oliver T.

A seafood restaurant in downtown disney= superover priced seafood. Everything here is decent I have better. The 4 stars is for the atmosphere and the setting. the steam boat gives it a fun experience when you actually eat in the water. the crab legs are the only thing i eat. the service here sucks giving alot of tip just for no reason. I would recommend if you are lazy to go outside the gates of walt disney world for Better Seafood.

Cayleen O.

Shame on you! Tell me that I'll be having the best calamari in my life and hand me a poorly breaded sticks of squid. It's rather over priced and under portioned. Seared tuna - nothing special or extraordinary. Salad - just a salad! Scallops - the only upside to my father's lunch since he was the lucky one who ordered it. Fish - can't remember WHAT it was but it was delectable as well. The whole calamari upset is what really peeved me. My guess is, order the crab and you may come out satisfied. We sure weren't.

Kris L.

Fulton's was a really nice place to eat at during our time in Downtown Disney. Our waitress was very nice and because we made reservations, we were able to be seated right away. I got the crab claws, and my fiance got the stuffed lobster. Both were full of flavor! it is very expensive though, so unless you are planning a dinner for a special occasion, I'm sure you could find just a nice of place for much cheaper outside of disney.

Jeremy B.

Extremely overpriced. A steak/shrimp and chicken cost my wife and I 118 dollars including tip. The New York strip was very bland and tough. The grilled shrimp was also very bland . The service was average. My drink stayed empty quite a bit. This meal was worth maybe 45 dollars at the most. The waiter helped himself to my iPhone that was lying on the table. It wasn't any of his business to read my screen, but he did it and then wanted to talk about it. Unless you really want to waste your money, stay away from this place.

Catherine S.

We went here with a group of 8 people. We were seated shortly after we arrived. We were not expecting this kind of lovely seafood and incredible service. Two of the ladies in our party ordered snow crab legs. The legs were already cracked, but the waitress offered and did peal the legs for them! I had the crab cakes, and they were excellent. The wine list was good, and we were not rushed out as other places tend to do in tourist destinations on a Saturday night.

Melissa B.

We went to Fulton's in May '09 during our yearly visit to Disney World and I'm glad we finally hit this one up. Of course there's so many other options in Downtown Disney, but we wanted something fancier than Rainforest Cafe this particular night. We went around 7pm, with 2 hungry kids (5yo and 1 1/2yo) and the host and waiter were very friendly. Our waiter took the time to explain the specials, but warned us that they were running low on some items (ie. certain sizes of claws). I ordered a Bloody Ceasar (yum, if you like lots of celery salt!) the blue crab cakes as my entree, DH ordered the prime rib and pacific shrimp with roasted potatoes and we planned to share a platter of medium stone crab claws. After being told what the children's menu items were (we never saw the actual menu) my son decided they would share the mac n cheese and a side of corn (not that adventurous, are they). We never had stone crabs outside of Joe's in FL so we were pleasantly surprised when a platter of 4 large claws came to our table (turns out they were out of medium, fine by us!). They were cracked well and tasted divine! The crab boursin that he brought out was heavenly and i vowed to take the recipe card home and make it one day (I plan to do that later today, hence what spurred this review). After DH placed his order, 10 mins later our waiter had to tell us that the cut he wanted was running low. DH is easy-going enough so he went with another cut. They brought out my crab cakes and the prime rib but where was my kids' dinners? The waiter apologized profusely but he forgot to place their order (doh!) but it would be ready in a few minutes (took almost 15). So DH and I took turns eating and entertaining my now, cranky, restless and hungry kids outside the restaurant to look at birds, lights, people (whatever!)... Finally, by the time I was done my crab cakes and my hubby, his dinner, the kids were too tired to eat so we ended up getting their food wrapped up to take back to our resort. The food, friendly service and ambiance all scored high points with me, but the poor communication between the wait staff and the kitchen is what bummed our night out a bit. we didn't leave the restaurant until 9pm and you'd think everyone would be fed by that point (but no!). Instead, the kids had their food for lunch the next day ;p So if I could do 3.5 stars, I would have but I gave 4 because I know if things hadn't gone a little awry as they did, it would've been a kickass meal for everyone! Now, time to make that crab boursin!

Nadia L.

I know you say enough with the crab! But I can't help it. I'm OBSESSED! In any case, I'm sorry to say that this was NOT one of the best crab places I've been to. Fulton is located in Pleasure Island in Walt Disneyworld. The restaurant itself is very nice. It is shaped like a huge riverboat, and inside it is romantic and has a nautical cruise feel. However, the crab legs were small and I would compare the quality of it to Red Lobster. Had 2 oysters too but everything was definitely over priced for what it was. Nice place to bring a date to - but just a place to really rip off the tourists because they don't know any better. But at least we got some good pictures!

Theresa U.

I have dined in three times now. First time I had a steak with jumbo lump crab meat. Yum.. The service was good. The second time, I had the crab legs. and oh my were they good! Succulent juicy crab legs! My fiancé had the famous plate of crab claw! I tried some of his, and had dish envy... The service was superior. I think it was because we had ordered a bottle of wine before. I guess they know they can work for a good tip... The third time, we both ordered crab claw. *tip.. order them with a side of mashed potatoes instead of the regular redskins. The mashed taste better... Our meal was fabulous! Just like I had remembered. But our waitress forgot our silverware, they ran out of our beer, and forgot the crab shell bucket.. Ick.. Plus the place always has this distinct smell of crab water.. It's weird. but I still give 'em 4 stars cause it's hard to find crab claw served anywhere else.

Brandon L.

This was the most expensive meal I probably have ever eaten. It was delish! We had the meal for 2 with the crab claws and I can't remember what else was with it but It was the best seafood I have ever had. The crab meat so so rich and sweet it basically melted in my mouth. The atmosphere of the fake boat was fun and the wait staff treated us like we were high rollers even though we were poor and not dressed very nice. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants some great seafood and a fun night at Disney World.

Castellani J.

Way overpriced. Crab cake was more filling than crab.

This place is in Downtown Disney. We were in the mood for seafood so decided to stop in for lunch. It was about 2pm on a Wednesday and we only had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. The employees were very nice and curteous at the front door. Our bartender was nice. Our waitress was superb, friendly, efficient and very helpful. We waited first at the bar and ordered 2 bloody marys (~$21) and they were quite tasty and thick (horseradish) and garnished with 2 peel and eat shrimp. Very nice presentation. For lunch we had the Fulton's Cobb Salad, which is not your typical cobb salad (no bleu cheese, no bacon) but it was delicious and not too fishy tasting. (it has seafood varieties rather than chicken etc.) We saw several other things go by that looked good and wished we would have tried. I think if I went back I would try the half sandwich with soup. Saw several of those that looked good. Forgot to mention they bring out a cracker and spread to the table first made with boursin cheese. It was quite nice. We would definitely return. 2 cobb salads with 20% tip was $36.

Second time here and I'm disappointed very much. Crab was partially frozen. The seafood tasted soggy

I popped in for lunch by myself @ Downtown Disney and tried this place. I had to wait 15-20 min for a table @ Sun 2pm. Bloody mary mix is homemade & deliciously thick, spicy and includes fresh tomatoes & horseradish. I had mine with a splash of tomato juice. The lobster bisque bowl was really a tomato bisque with a little kick w/lobster. I told the waiter they should clarify it on the menu. I've had better lobster bisque in New Jersey; new england style. Waiter was super attentive and brought me a cup of the new england clam chowder...OMG! It was out of this world. I'd go back just for the bloody mary mix and the clam showder. Then came a cesar salad with grilled shrimp. The dressing is good but make sure your salad is well tossed so salad doesn't taste plain nor overwhelming. I'd only improve it by garnishing it with a filet of anchovy. Yes, it's a little pricey but worth it. I'd return to try the half sandwich combo with soup or salad...or the crabcakes. The whole experience is like San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf.

Once again it is WDW. Reservations are a MUST. The chilled seafood plate appetizer was really good. My dining companions loved the steak. The wine list is weak, really Ravenswood at $9.95 a glass. Yuck. The service was decent. I would recommend.

My wife voted their crab claws number 1! The wait staff is extremely accommodating. I asked if there was a way to get something off-menu and they were able to deliver. This is our first stop everytime we come to Orlando. They even accept Disney room charge. One suggestion, join the Levy Preferred club. Almost every time we eat there they give us a gift certificate for a return and if you show them your card you get to jump the line.

I had been to Fulton's about 7 years ago and had very fond memories of it. However, I left this time feeling really disappointed and definitely will not go back. I am not sure if i just built it up in my head, or if it's gone downhill over the years. Yes, it has a great location and nice decor, but good food matters most, and in that department there is not much going for it. Our waitress was nice enough, but I was a bit irritated when I got the check and realized that she had charged me $7 for a side of asparagus. I guess it said it in the menu, but the way she said it, it sounded like my meal came with it. She could have mentioned that it's extra when I ordered...just my opinion. The food is overpriced (it's Disney,but still) for the quality. I had the scallop appetizer, which was pricey, and it was just two big scallops. The were fine but really over-seasoned, and it didn't seem like an appetizer to me. Then I had the crabcakes for dinner. For a $30 entree, it seemed like alot of filler and just didn't taste that great compared to other crabcakes I've had. Also had a mojito that was not sweet enough. All in all, won't go back. I wouldn't say "don't go" because there aren't that many nice Downtown Disney restaurants to choose from. I would just say...."don't expect much as far as tasty food."

We were at Downtown Disney mid-day and were getting hungry so decided to catch a bite at Fulton's Crab House. The restaurant had an interesting flare in that the building looks very much like a real river boat. We sat downstairs at the main level near the bar area. The lunch menu was somewhat limited in selection but we made our choices and ordered. My wife that the crab & lobster sandwich roll with fries, I had the half gilled chicken sandwich and small house salad. Our waitress was very helpful, but what surprised us was that we waited over a half hour before our entrée's arrived. The food was okay, but it was only slightly warm as though they had been setting around for a bit. The bread on the lobster & crab sandwich was toasted a little dark for our tastes, the fries were a little wilted from setting too long. The total bill was $35, so not expensive, and they are able to accommodate large parties of up to 400 or so upstairs. Overall, we were not too impressed and thought it was just okay.

Penny L.

I like good quality food, and Fultons had good quality food, but it's expensive and you have to remember to order side dishes or else your fish arrives with no accompaniment. I had the salmon which was very good and a caesar salad which was good, too. Bread and crackers with spread are served beforehand. I had the toll house cookie sundae which was good, the cookie comes in an iron skillet, a good size sundae but not enough sauce to be really be called a sundae. Atmosphere was cool, waitstaff good.

Allison L.

Have been there a few times. Very consistent; simply delicious. Wait staffs were very professional. If you have a little one, don't worry....s/he will be entertained... Wait staffs can offer magic shows too! Just make sure you make reservation if you go there during travel seasons. (i.e. it's a popular place.... a wait line equals good sign!)

Kara R.

We ate at Fulton's on Christmas Eve, without reservations, and only waited 30 min to be seated (granted, it was early - 5pm - and there were only 2 of us). The food was great! We split a Caesar salad to start and it was plenty and quite delicious. My husband ordered the Rhode Island stuffed lobster and he LOVED it. I ordered the seafood cioppino (sp?) which was also great - the amount of seafood was generous. The food came out very fast. The complimentary crab dip before we ate was a nice touch. The prices are high, but mostly justified by the quality and quantity of food. (Unfortunately, the reality is that all food at Downtown Disney is more pricey than other locations). Oh, our server was outstanding! We definitely recommend Fulton's.

Let me preface by saying crab legs are by far my favorite food. Hands down. We arrived at Fulton's Crab House with a reservation and thank goodness we did. The line was out the door with Disney guests ready for dinner after a long day at the park. Fulton's lies in Disney's Boardwalk, a fun area full of restaurants and specialty stores. Its a huge ship like establishment with multiple levels right on the lake. After announcing our arrival to the hostess we waited in the bar area. Its rather large and rounded with crabs on display demonstrating their different types. After a bit we found a few bar stools but the place was packed. Twenty minutes later we were sat upstairs against a window with a pretty view of our surroundings. Our server started out by presenting us with a scrumptious crab dip and crackers along with a recipe card for it. I have yet to attempt it though I swore I would with how tasty it was. I ordered the snow crab legs, my old standby and favorite of the crab family. They were just as I always remembered them, tender, juicy, rich,.... yum. We got mashes potato's as an accompaniment and had a great meal. It was expensive and I will admit I probably would not be able to tell the difference between these crabs and other less pricey crab restaurants. Fulton's even has an option on the menu to have the crabs de-shelled for you. Now that's classy. Bottom line- anywhere that serves crab legs gets at least four stars by me. Eating crab is one way to ensure I'm not crabby during my meal. Wink.

Jacqueline K.

Fish and chips dish were excellent. Fish flaky and batter crispy. A bit pricey for what your paying, but hmmm...

Mike S.

I can't comment on the crab or Fulton's other dinner entrees. We've had lunch here twice, and haven't been disappointed. Shrimp salad was terrific, and a fish sandwich (I think it was grouper?) was also very tasty. If the weather allows, you can sit outside and enjoy the lagoon. It's a nice escape from the relative noise and bustle of the Downtown Disney/Marketplace area.

Adam F.

This is by far the best meal I have ever had in my entire life, hands down. We started with the Fried Calamari on the preference of our waiter, who told us that it was some of the best and the most tender in the country, and it really was! Apparently it sits and soaks for 24 hours in their special marinade, and then cooked to a crispy perfection. It comes with a red tomato basil sauce, that adds the perfect finishing touch. We just about finished the whole appetizer as it was hard to stop eating, and even harder to waste! For the main course, I had the Alaska King Crab Claws and the Australian Lobster Tail. This amazing entree consisted of 3/4-lb king crab claws and a grilled lobster tail, with a side of red skin potatoes and drawn butter. The Lobster Tail was huge and succulent and when combined with the warm butter, it was almost euphoric! The Crab Claws were even better, if that is possible, tasting super fresh like it had just been caught that day. The waiter showed me exactly how to break the claws and how to get every bit of meat out. He promised me that all I needed was a little bit of elbow grease, the know how, and a toothpick, and he was not lying! The crab meat just popped right out of the claw, ready to eat, thick and fresh! Unbelievable, really! Also, the Lobster was cut from the shell and sitting on top for my consumption, no fuss no muss. I didn't even bother to touch the potatoes, because I had no room left in my stomach for anything else but that high end sea food. My wife had the Fulton's Seafood Trio, and honestly, that was amazing as well. This combo brought a taste of everything...from the perfectly seasoned Wahoo, to the three big grilled shrimp, to a huge Blue Crab Cake, topped off with a side of Garlic Whipped Potatoes. The Wahoo, which I had never had before was heavenly, rich and tender, some of the best fish I have had in my life. Actually, the Wahoo was not a bit fishy tasting in the least. But on the contrary, it is something that I would love to have again, now that I know how it is supposed to taste. The Grilled Shrimp were huge and good, but nothing compared to the Big Blue Crab Cake; this thing was to die for. Loaded with the most crab I have ever seen in a crab cake, it was crispy and flaky on the outside, and had a perfect mix within. Both of us together could not finish the crab cake or the fabulous garlic whipped potatoes, it was just too much good food. Since it was the 4th of July, I can't forget to mention the Red, White, and Blue Cocktails that we had with dinner. They were just a fruitier version of the Pina Coloda, but it was just enough to push this meal over the top! The ultimate best in my book; go here, spend the money, and treat yourself right!

Charles O.

the only saving grace was that the beer can't be made by them...just opened.

Kostia G.

7 days at Disney and no decent meal yet and Fultons no matter the price same thing. I know I should try to eat outside .... Somewhere...not sure where though, One thing I learned I think go as cheap as possible at least it is cheap. On top of bad food crab cakes $33, lobster ravioli $28 (not even sure if it had lobster in it, so so calamari) we were seated near waitress station of some sort with constant clanking and traffic.

Meals for Tourists as well as Purists! Fulton's Crab House falls into the more elite group of restaurants in the category of being primarily in tourist areas, but they know, want and pride themselves in giving their customer the best experience possible under the extreme circumstances of dealing with large volumes of people not to mention every type of culinary preference under the sun. Obviously, Orlando's choices of bars, bistros, cafes and eateries of all types is overwhelming, but the excellent and worthwhile choices are very few, when it comes flavor, quality, service and price equity! We're happy to say, Fulton's turned out to be a nice surprise, with its seafood dinner experience - large but comfortable, crowded but relaxed, laid back but pleasing, with that unmistakable ship dock décor, excellent service and attention, and let's not forget the food, it was very, very good! We started off with Fried Calamari; the kids had Lobster Corn Dog and the Fish of Day Tilapia with Mac & Cheese; we had the fresh grilled Mahi Mahi; my Shrimp & Grits was superb; the Salmon Dinner; as sides we all shared their Creamed Spinach, Grilled Asparagus and really well prepared Caramelized Brussel Sprouts. I tried everything my party was having, and in the Andrew Zimmern's fave word - Wow! Everyone at the table was happy. This was a meal worth bragging about for its value, excellent taste, presentation and overall dining experience! You get more than what you pay for! This is a great selection choice over the abundant amount of eateries in Orlando if you're truly seeking an area's dining experience. We recommend Fulton's, and plan on returning - Bon appétit!

One of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. -Way over priced for the quality of food -Service was lackluster -food quality on par with Long John Silvers SERIOUSLY! I ordered the fried seafood platter. Two under cooked scallops, three undercooked shrimp, and a piece of fish. It was warm at best when it arrived. I question the positive reviews. Best to avoid this restaurant and any other Wolfgang Puck establishments. My daughter just informed me that she actually found a dead fly in her napkin. Half of the cutlery was dirty as well. (Yes he owns this disaster too).

Todd M.

Look. I have been here twice. It's a mostly adult resturant at Disney World. The food is ok. But you can get away from the kids. If you have been to a real resturant, this place will not amaze you. Just remember where you are - not the food capitol of the world, but the FUN capitol of the world. Come on down. Go twice and be a regular. They need regulars!

Julie L.

We dined at Fulton's Crab House in May 2014. We loved it! Delicious crab legs! Everything we ordered was great (salad, soup, steak, potatoes, crab legs, etc.) We'd definitely go back again if we're ever in the Orlando area. The restaurant is located in Downtown Disney which is a fun area to walk around, lots of entertainment, shopping, sweet treats and many restaurants/bars, etc.

Maylom V.

Worst restaurant for the price range. The salad wasn't fresh, the steak was undercooked, the fish tacos were disgusting. Avoid this place.

Robert H.

Great seafood here! Loved the crab cakes and the clam chowder! The sea food combination with the fried shrimp, scallops and cod! Danielle was our server and was awesome and always asking us if we needed anything! The service here was excellent and the place was easy to find in Downtown Disney! Look for the big boat in the water that has "Fulltons" on the top in red letters! They start out by giving you some crackers accompanied by a spread that has a very interesting flavor to it that everyone should give a chance. They also give you some sourdough bread with butter. The Crabcakes here were very good! They only give you one but it is a good size and is sitting on top of a fried onion ring and has some corn in it and when combined together have a very good flavor. The clam chowder was very creamy and delicious with lots of clams and potatoes it in which just added to the flavor. The fried shrimp and scallops were really good, my girlfriend and I weren't very fond of the cod but at least for me I'm not a huge fan of fish, I prefer shrimp instead hehe.

Stacey H.

Had a great time! Food was delicious! I had a filet mignon cooked to perfection. I have a food allergy and the chef brought my food directly to the table to assure me it was not cooked on the same grill as the shellfish. Very impressed with their service.

Janet E.

The New England Style clam chowder was creamy and delicious, the bread was fresh and warm, the crab legs were perfectly prepared, the service was warm and friendly, but the most outstanding thing of all was the chocolate creme brûlée. It is truly outstanding!! Obviously made with baker's cocoa and cream with a crusted glaze to perfection on top. Do not miss this treat!

Natalie O.

One of my favorite restaurants at Disney. The food had so much flavor compared to other restaurants on the Disney properties. I started with the clam chowder that was very good. I had the appetizer crab cakes as my entree that were very good. I really liked the roasted corn. I was so full and happy after leaving the restaurant. Would add this to my list of a must visit when I visit Disney in the future.

Chris S.

CrabCake BLT was very good Lots of Crab Meat and the fries were good. Everything was good

Shannon L.

Seafood was decent but nothing spectacular. Added a lobster which I feel they overcharged for. $35 to add a lobster. However. The lobster corn dogs were good. Was fun to eat on the large steamboat.

Ryan G.

Avoid at all costs! You'll feel better about grabbing a dog at a street vendor because at least there you get what you pay for... At Fulton...not so much. We went there only because we arrived later than desired to downtown Disney with 2 hungry children and couldn't wait an hour plus for other options. We were first told that there would be a 45 minute wait but then were seated immediately which was great. Our server was very pleasant and wanted to be helpful with my wife's gluten allergy. We ordered $8 hamburgers for the kids, my wife a gluten free grouper dish, and me the mahi-mahi dish. I requested that my dish be made with grouper only because that was the catch of the day. The wait for the food to come out was incredibly long and when it finally did they brought 2 mahi-mahi dinners and not a grouper in sight. I kept mine but had to send back the other as it's not gluten free. We finally all got our meals and the food was meh. The fish was fresh but overcooked... a pet peeve of mine being from New England and a lover of seafood. The other parts to the dishes were just ok...overly rich and tasteless. The manager did come to our table to see how things were and I politely told him about the mishaps with our dishes. He simply apologized and moved on... in some of my favorite restaurants they make mistakes...it happens. But in those restaurants the manager would have offered something to make the customer happy. Not at Fulton. We were left with a $90 dinner for a family of four which included "on the cheap" hamburgers and excluded any beverages other than water. Yes we know dining inside the Disney property is overpriced but we had 2 other meals at separate Disney resorts that ran around $150+ each and I was happy to pay because the food and service were outstanding. As I said in the beginning, avoid this restaurant...there is a reason why we got a table right away at 6:30 on a Saturday night... other folks already knew what we had to learn the hard way.

Fulton's Crab House is the large steamboat shaped building at Downtown Disney at Disney World. We stopped by for a late lunch after spending the morning and afternoon at the Wide World of Sports. We were seated next to the windows overlooking the lake so it was a wonderful view and the interior is warm and cozy. We ordered salad appetizers and a couple of their non-alcoholic drink specials. They had some fun names but I can't remember them and they are orange and blue colored, they tasted good. For lunch we ordered a couple of their entrees. The Florida Grouper is EXCELLENT, the fish is pan seared and cooked nicely and comes in a wonderful sauce. I had a bite of the grouper and thought, this is bland! But once I got some sauce on it, OMG! The dish became awesome, such a good unique sauce! It was our favorite. My girlfriend ordered the Lobster Ravioli and comes in a nice buttery sauce and it was very good as well. There were about 6 pieces and just perfect serving if having an appetizer and dessert. The family across from us had their fish and chips and other basic fried stuff and it looked alright. We were completely happy with our entrees. The service is very good and atmosphere great. I can't speak for the other dishes but the Florida Grouper entree is awesome. I'd recommend this place, we really liked Fulton's Crab House.

Lauren E.

I frequently eat out and have 8 years serving experience. My entree was maybe worth half the price. I got the crab cakes and was very disappointed. I admit, I am from Maryland and thus I'm a crab cake snob (and I told the server this) but for $30 they should have had way more crabmeat in them and not been served on CANNED corn. I ordered a $12 drink (the Take 5) that was advertised/described as being a "strong" drink. I felt nothing and I am a "light weight" - a complete waste of $12. I'm sure there might be some good items on the menu but this experience was very disappointing. The service was good (and I am quite opinionated on that subject). I have no problem whatsoever paying a decent price so long as the quality matches the price - but this was not the case here. Even the quality of the bread, crackers and spread beforehand was subpar.

Tim S.

The food just just not very good. The service was moderately attentive and no major problems. But no amount of service could fix this place. The interior was extremely dated and worn. This was generally consistent with all of our dining experiences in the Walt Disney Resort.

Tyahnna G.

I unfortunately got sick once my husband and I were seated. (40 minutes after arriving) we order our food to go so that we could go back to our resort. The waiter was kind and only charged us for the one meal. Once we returned to the resort (& I chugged a healthy dose of ginger ale) we ate our food. At this point the food was 45 minutes old, but it was still good. I had the fried seafood platter and my husband had the lobster ravioli. Had it been fresh it probably would have been a lot better.

Dolly M.

I came here with a group of 10 people and everyone knows that seating a LARGE party takes a long time but this place was AWESOME with the timing. And you must love seafood to come here to understand. Get the Crab legs, the shrimp and the Salmon, so delicious and the service is great! Don't order a side with your dish because the kitchen is super busy that they'll forget but get the bigger dishes and come here hungry or else you'll be disappointed.

Wine and food, belong together. At the very least they can make each other taste better; and in the best of circumstances, the result can be downright thrilling. And thrilling, indeed, was our experience at the Wine Dinner this past Friday at Fulton's Crab House. Fulton's, the seafood-centric restaurant in the heart of Downtown Disney celebrated the final weeks of summer with a delightful three-course surf and turf dinner paired with three complimentary wines meticulously crafted by Executive Chef Mark Boor with hand-selected wines by the charismatic Thomas Hemmings, Stacole. Welcome Reception paired with Bulles 2010, Jean Francois Merieau, Loire Valley, France. A blend of 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Chardonnay, organically grown and aged on the lees for 18-20 months, Bulles sparkling is crisp, with notes of pear, melon, and brioche. Lobster Guacamole Action Station - avocado, chilies, cilantro, lime, vine ripe tomato, corn tortilla planks. Buttery avocado, sweet meat of lobster, sparkling chenin - man, does life taste good! Seafood Charcutiere display house smoked Ahi tuna "bacon", pastrami cured King Salmon, Shrimp Escabeche, assorted pickled vegetables, crostinis and Cipollini Jam. Did I mention the ONLY restaurant in town boasting a seafood charcutiere platter? This should be a staple in Fulton's. First Course: Grouper en Papillote, heirloom tomato, shiitake, spaghetti squash, foie gras butter. Paired with Alysian Chardonnay 2011, Russian River Valley, California. There's a certain drama that surrounds cooking en papillote. Unwrapping the parchment paper that holds your meal adds an air of excitement, something not too dissimilar to opening a gift. And the incredible aromas which envelop your senses once this delicious gift is sliced open itself is priceless. Fresh grouper elevated with the richness of foie gras butter, finished with specks of black lava sea salt. Are you hungry yet? Second Course: Manhattan Filet prime filet cut from the striploin, caramelized Cipollini onion, confit tomato, sauce bordelaise, roasted marrow. Paired with Textbook Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Napa Valley, California. Third Course: Georgia Peaches wood grilled, bourbon French toast, vanilla bean mascarpone, mint simple syrup. Paired with Broadbent Madeira, 5 Year Reserve, Isle of Madeira. Mille Grazie (thousand thanks) to the Men of the Hour - Executive Chef Mark and Thomas Hemmings, Stacole Wine for captivating our senses, and the entire staff of Fulton's Crab House for executing a delicious and memorable evening despite the unwelcoming pouring rain and inconvenient parking experience (due to heavy construction downtown Disney).

First impression was immediately disgusted trying to struggle in the door with my daughter in a wheel chair and three guys hovering over cash register and no one comes to my aide. Another gentlemen comes out and see us , greets us and immediately takes us to our table. No sure what is up with Disney not having automatic doors. Atmosphere was nice and not crowded. Mo- server from London , England!! Impeccable service!! As soon as we sat down he greeted us and began offering recommendations, very professional and super friendly! For starters I ordered the Coconut Martini which had strong kick, I loathe pricey drinks that lack the main ingredient but to my surprise the coconut vodka came through beautifully. Also ordered the Blue lagoon and Sunset punch both deserving of the tween, young adult , and those not fond of alcohol.. These are go-to-drinks! Tempted to order the Sunset punch with a splash of vodka! For appetizers we ordered the Ahi Tuna Cups! Fresh and crisp.. The Sriracha sauce brought solidarity to the dish! The pickled cucumbers is a wonderful contrast to the ahi tuna...great pairing and so refreshing to the palate. Yum! Crab cakes- Beware if you are not an onion fan then skip.On that note I am in love!! Absolutely loved them, corn was scrumptious I could take it to go in a cup! Additionally, the Lobster Corn dogs- note tempura fried Lobster these are a must have. Lastly for our entrees the Crab Club BLT nice chunks of avocado and bacon, the sandwich was pretty good a little dry but I added the Sriracha sauce and it was all good. Lastly ordered was the Grilled cheese Lobster ... This was the only dish that was disappointing.. The sharp cheddar cheese overpowered the dish and the lobster was flavorless not worth the $20 .

This is definitely one of the best restaurants I've ever been to in Disney. My wife and I were in Disney World for our anniversary and she is a big fan of seafood. We found out about Fulton's Crab House before we went to Disney World by researching, so I made reservations before we left for our trip. I highly suggest making reservations as soon as possible as this restaurant was always full while we were there. First of all this restaurant has the most amazing service. We felt like we were celebrities being waited on. Also the food is absolutely amazing. There is a large variety on the menu, so there is definitely something for everyone. My wife and I enjoyed this restaurant so much that we went back to our resort and booked another reservation for one more amazing meal before our anniversary was over. We were sooo hoping we would get the same server as he was absolutely amazing and we really enjoyed talking with him. Of course we didn't as this restaurant is pretty huge, but our new server was pretty close to just as amazing. He had found out we were there on our anniversary and surprised us after our meal with a free piece of cake. Yes the food was absolutely amazing.. but truly it's service like this that makes people really enjoy themselves. I can't wait to go back to Fulton's Crab House in our future trips to Disney World!

Felipe V.

Yelena was probably the best server I've had in my life. Awesome service definitely recommend the seafood tower if you're getting an app with multiple people.

Connie A.

Good, but not as good as it should be. Jambalaya was kinda without body...waited a long time for average food.
