Where: Taste Pilot's Grill at DCA

When: January 2006

What: Lunch. 5 Rib Meal (came with cole slaw and fries), Salad with Chicken Poppers, Kids Sliders (mimi burgers with smiley fries and drink), Soda

Approximate Price of Entrees: 5 Rib Meal $13; Salad with Chicken Poppers $8; Kids Meal $6; Soda $2.50

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 5
Service: 5

Atmosphere: 5 (aviation theme)

Okay for Children: Yes
Okay for Couples: Yes

Be Sure to Try: All of it was great! The ribs were juicy, fries crisp and slaw tasty. The salad had a few crunchy tortilla strips, cucumbers, tomatoes, grated cheese and topped with several fried chicken poppers. I saw people adding some items from the large condiment bar to their salads. Kids meal served in a mimi lunch box.

General tips: Quick serve where you order and pay, walk forward to the food line and pick it up there. There is inside and outside seating.

Mouseforless Tip: The four of us shared all the food. The 5 rib meal is really big. The kids ate the chicken poppers off the salad (I was after the salad and I didn't really want them and it was cheaper than getting them an order of the chicken poppers that they wanted). I ended up eating one of the sliders and it was tasty (I put stuff of it from the topping bar). 10% discount with my annual pass.

Extra Comments: This is a favorite of ours at DCA. Always good and filling.

When: Friday October 17, 2003

What: Lunch. 1 rib meal+drink for DH , I had a cheeseburger meal and chocolate shake, DD had popcorn chicken co-pilot meal (4.95)

Approximate Price of Entrees: 16.00 for DH w/drink,12.00 for me w/ shake, 6.50 for DD. Total came out to 33.75, then we used our Disney club discount and got 10%off = $30.00 total

Rate the following (1-5, five being the best!)

Food: 5, it seems pricey but the portions are HUGE
Service: 5

Atmosphere: 5, my Dh is a airplane nut and he loved the theme, plus it is nice and cool inside with a generous condiment bar w/ tomatoes,lettuce pickles and lots of sauces.

Okay for Children: Yes..DD loves it!
Okay for Couples: Yes, there is a patio in the back that is more secluded.

Be Sure to Try: The ribs. My husband got these. They come with coleslaw, and a big helping of fries. Plus, DH is a rib-madman and they were huge with tons of meat that fell off the bone. I had the cheeseburger, which also came w/ fries and is VERY filling. We were so full from this lunch we didn't need dinner.

General tips: This is a great place that is busy but not packed. It is right next to Soarin' Over California..so it is a nice stop after the ride. The portions are huge, so share a meal if you aren't super hungry.

Dollarless tips: Definately use your Disney Club Card! I was given the discount just for mentioning it.

Extra Comments: We love this place, and we have never gotten bad service. The staff is always more than accomodating. My DH asked someone cleaning the tables if they had hand wipes for the ribs, and he said yes...and came back a minute later with a huge handful. Very nice!
