Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good food, good location Cons: Table turnover tends to be slower
The ESPN Club is a must-do for our family during every trip. We are all sports fans and the food is very good and reasonably priced. The only problem is that table turnover is slower than regular restaurants because patrons are watching games in addition to eating and might not leave until the sporting event they are watching is finished. There are times when the wait can be long. I can't complain too much about that because my family is guilty of doing the same thing!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good theme; expected pub-food options Cons: Way too loud
Good place to go for a beer and standard pub-food. Can't be beat for the sports fan. Service is good and prices are in line with what you expect at WDW.
On the negative side, the various TV's around the room are all turned up too loud. Do not plan on having any conversation with your table-mates because you have to shout to be heard.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good food, great place to watch sports! Cons: Long waits for big games
I usually find my way here once a trip for a solid meal and good TV watching. I know I can count on seeing my West Coast teams here when they won't be on regular broadcast TV.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Sport bar atmosphere Cons: Can get PACKED
Nice for a good lunch on a hot day, the A/C in here is always cranked way down. Don't try getting in on the big game day.
Beer is cold, food is standard bar style but good.
Sit a the bar and grab some snacks and a cocktail for a park break in the afternoon.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good bar food, great for watching sports. Cons: It is just bar food.
Great atmosphere for watching sports. The food is generic bar food and is pretty good. I would not go out of my way to go here if you are looking for a unique dining experience.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): sports, beer, bar food! Cons: can be really noisy
Burger, Beer, Ball - how can this be bad? Order and expect good bar food and you won't be disappointed. Service is usually pretty good too, and it is a fun place to take in a game or just enjoy all the memorabilia on the walls. The bar area is great as well.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Good Burger Cons: Kinda boring without a game going on
This is a great place to go for a sporting event. Typical sports bar atmosphere - TVs everywhere. We went at 1pm on a Wednesday and the place was nearly empty. I'm sure that's not the case most of the time. Since we went when there was not a game going on, we found the atmosphere to be a little boring. The food was pretty good - burgers, BBQ sandwiches, Nachos, salads. The prices were great for Disney. They don't take reservations, so this is a good place to go last minute.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): good place to get sloshed Cons: food
We headed to the Zone to catch a football game during one trip. We used our DDP credits for dinner and split an entree. The beer makes the food better, note: you must consume MASS quantities of alchol for the food to be classified as good. The prices weren't bad but i wouldn't even say the food was average bar food. The service was horrible, we waited almost 2 hours for a table and there were many sitting around just waiting to be cleared. I even pointed this out to management twice but that didn't have any effect on them. I think this is the worst service we have ever had. Walking up to the bar for your own drink and fighting the crowd is much faster than waiting on your server. Sporst bars a a dime a dozen in most places but since this is your only choice at WDW you are stuck. I suggest grabbing a 6pack at the Hess, and dialing up to the game on the internet on your laptop and watching, you will save money and tons of frustration over poor service.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Food, atmosphere Cons: Can be tough to get in
I've been here on all 3 recent trips and love it. I'm a huge sports fan so that surely helps, but the food is really good. Standard bar food but thats not a bad thing, it's all prepared very well, tasty and big portions. Pricing is not that much more than your local sports bar. Try to go on a big sports day, it's a lot of fun. I was here 1/1/2007 during all the Bowl games - had a BLAST !!

Positive aspects of the product (pros): TVs everywhere good sports bar food Cons: Sandwiches a bit on the funky side
We always stop in to catch a game and have a meal.
Food is good and pricing inline with what you would expect in a tourist destination.
If you have gone to ESPN Zones in other towns this menu is NOT the same. The burger choices were one with bacon & cheddar or one with shaved ham & cheese.The griiled chicken sandwich came with a pepper spread. I would have prefered a plain sandwhich/burger that you can add on to

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Tables in Wonderland discount accepted 20% off but 18% tip added to bill. Cons: Need more booths for us old farts!
Decent food. For us smokers you can walk out of the club with your drink and sit outside overlooking the lake. TV at every booth with your game of choice playing. : Posted via eTicket

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Service, no wait. Cons: Food was standard fare with a limited menu and high prices.
The ESPN Club is located at the Boardwalk resort in their shopping area behind the actual hotel. We did not have a reservation, but just stopped by after a day at the Animal Kingdom. We were seated right away with no wait. Our waiter was friendly and courteous and joked with us quite a bit during the service. The nachos were good and enjoyed by all, but no better or worse than any other standard sit down restaurant we have been to. However, the big disappointment was that everyone ordered sandwiches, and they were standard Applebee''s/TGIF fare at about twice the price. The Angus Burger I had was marginally edible at best. We will not be visiting again.
As a side note, the waiter told us that all of the other ESPN Clubs throughout the country are going to close, and this one at Disney will be the only one left open as they seem to be centralizing ESPN on the Disney property. If this is the case, they sure need to work on the menu and quality of the food if this will be what represents for a restaurant with the ESPN name.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): TVs, no ADRs needed,decent bar food Cons: bartenders not as attentive as waitress
Ate here twice during the week of 11/14/10.
Sat in the bar area both time.Once at the bar the other at a high top table.Waitress much more attentive then bartenders(it was busy but not mobbed so that wasn't a valid excuse for the bartenders)
Salmon and Pork sandwiches were good.Be aware the pulled pork is dry & you add the sauce(get a choice of 2).
Like that you can get either fries or a cucmber-onion sald with the sandwiches.
No more pricey then other WDW restaurants

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Sports atmosphere, decent food, inexpensive Cons: mediocre food at best
Stayed at Boardwalk so ESPN is very convenient. Chatted with Ron Jaworski ( Former Eagles QB and NFL analyst)which was a plus. Food is better than average - burgers and sandwiches mainly - nothing spectacular but solid fare and relatively inexpensive for Disney. No reservations - so you have to get there early or queue up...
