Boatwright's Dining Hall

Haven't been to Boatwrights since there was a Dixie Landings. Back then we would get the Prime Rib which was some of the best on property. It is still on the menu but we decided to go outside of our comfort zone this time We are staying nearby in Ft Wilderness and was looking for a good sit down meal close by. Glad we came. Food was great. Service was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect. There were three of us and we had a wide variety from Jambalaya with scewered shrimp which were perfect to Salmon which was cooked to perfection and the Chicken which was a huge breast breaded and sides of mac and cheese and mashed. Highly recommend.

Food is mediocre at best. Not worth the price. I order the "all you care to enjoy" taste of the bayou not once was I asked or brought more food. My son had the pasta, meatballs and "fresh fruit" from the kids menu. The sauce was a watery mess with no flavor I mentioned it to the waitress and her answered was "well he ate some" well of course he did he tried it. The fruit was so old look like mold on it when I pointed that out they removed the charge for the kids meal. We ended up sharing my 1 plate. The only thing we both enjoyed was the BBQ shrimp appetizer.

My 2nd visit to Boatwright's after 12 years. I was impressed with the staff at the hostess desk who were able to accommodate me even though I arrived 2 hours prior to my reservation time. I was a solo diner and felt the server was rushing me throughout the meal. A bit off putting. The food was okay. I had the All You Can Eat platter. Just okay. The food was warm, not hot with very minimal seasoning. The cornbread was good as were the ribs. The macaroni and cheese really tried but didn't quite make it. Overall 3 1/2 stars. I'm from the west coast so I doubt I'll be back. I believe the food was much better on my first visit so I know Boatwright's is capable of doing better.

We come here all of the time and stay at this resort but do not usually have time for sit down dinner. Family of 4 plus a toddler. The bread and chimichurri butter was a great start as well as the french onion soup! Medium rare Prime rib was amazing!! Jambalaya was spicy but very good. Chocolate martinis we have had previously at the bar on prior trips and did not disappoint again tonight. Denise was out waitress from Coral Springs and she was a very attentive and had a great attitude. Will definitely have dinner on our next return.

This place should be so much better than it always is. The food is not fresh, the platters of bbq brought out has been sitting in warming plates on the kitchen. It is all you care to eat, which they bring to your table. It was so unappealing I never asked for seconds. That’s surprising because it’s ribs, sausage, brisket, and all the fixings. I don’t count the chicken as it’s strips of breaded chicken that do not belong on a bbq platter. My wife had the prime rib. That came out hot and juicy. She did enjoy it. So that’s a positive. The service was alright, but no one is trying to make this place an amazing experience. Much needs to be done at this resort but luckily there is still the Yehaa Bob show next door at the lounge. This one person makes the whole experience a positive stay. Do
