The Plaza is a sit-down restaurant in Magic Kingdom located at the end of Main Street USA.
The Plaza is on the smaller side, but there are so many fun details inside. Kayleigh Price
The Plaza is a quaint place with gorgeous views of Cinderella Castle. It's so small that most people walk by without noticing it.
The main focal point inside is the wall-to-wall windows overlooking the castle. You also get stellar views of all of the different parades and shows that come by.
It can be difficult to get a walk-in table due to its size, but I was able to get one when I went with my grandma.
The menu offers some classic American grub.

The small menu mostly had American offerings, including salads, sandwiches, and burgers.
We were a little disappointed with the selections as we were hoping for more variety.
We started our meal with the crab-cake appetizer.

To start off, we wanted to try the seared crab cakes for $11 since we're huge fans of crab. It also seemed to be one of the more interesting appetizer options.
When they arrived at our table, I was a bit disappointed with the plating — I didn't think they looked appetizing.
But I was proven wrong when I tasted the crab cakes. The combination of the zesty aioli and apple slaw was amazing. I'm not the biggest fan of spice, but the aioli had the perfect amount to pack in a lot of flavor.
I removed some of the apple slaw because I thought it was a bit much. But overall, it was a delicious dish.
I ordered the Main Street burger as my entrée.

For our main dishes, we decided on the Main Street burger for $23 and the home-style meatloaf for $25.
I ordered the burger because I'm a big fan of fried eggs as a topping. It wasn't a showstopper, but I also wasn't disappointed. None of the flavors stuck out to me, but I still finished it.
I don't think it's going to keep me coming back to the Plaza. I've had similar burgers at countless other restaurants on and off Disney property.
I also tasted some of the meatloaf, which came with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I also tasted the home-style meatloaf that my grandma ordered. I enjoyed it much more than the burger.
It was also coated in ketchup and paired with mashed potatoes, so I loved combining everything for a tasty bite.
But again, this isn't an entrée I'd continue coming back for. I think there are other restaurants at Disney World that serve better meatloaf — for example, 50's Prime Time Café in Hollywood Studios.
Overall, the Plaza is a cute Disney World restaurant, but I'm not sure I'll be back.
The food may not be spectacular, but it was still a good experience. Kayleigh Price
In total, we tried one appetizer and two entrées for $8o, which isn't necessarily a bargain.
I enjoyed the views of Cinderella Castle and the super tasty crab cakes, and I think it's worth dining here at least once. But I don't think this is a restaurant I'll frequent often.
This could be a good fit for families or parties that have pickier eaters since there are so many standard American dishes. It's also a good option if you're looking for a sit-down restaurant in Magic Kingdom instead of a quick-service spot.
But if you're looking for a place to introduce you to your new favorite food offerings at Disney World, I don't think the Plaza is for you. I'd try a restaurant like Be Our Guest instead.
