Be Our Guest offers Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. I have personally only had lunch at Be Our Guest, so that is what I will talk about. Lunch is considered "counter service" as far as dining plans go. However, because of its popularity, a reservation is a must. When you arrive at Be Our Guest, you are ushered to a queue area where you go by knight uniforms (during the dinner time, this area is utilized as a meet and greet for Beast). Once you round the corner, you encounter a multitude of stations with touch screens for you to order your food. After you've ordered your food and tapped your Magic Band (for those without a Magic Band, they provide "roses") you then venture into the dining area. Be Our Guest does also offer the option to order ahead of time. This option does expedite your entrance into the restaurant. Instead of going down the queue area with the knights, you proceed straight to a cast member, who verifies your order and asks if any changes need made.

There are three different dining rooms available during the lunch period. The largest of these areas is the ballroom...yes *the* ballroom...the one where Beast twirls Belle around as Mrs. Potts serenades them with the Oscar-winning song "Beauty and the Beast". There is also the West Wing (complete with ripped painting of Prince Adam and the Rose) and the Castle Gallery, a room filled with different paintings and giant dancing figurines of Belle and Beast. Find yourself a table (and trust me when I say, the first one you find you should take, as most of them are full a majority of the time) and have a seat. Through the power of Disney magic (or in reality, RFID technology within the Magic Band) your food is brought to you.

Now for the food...
The food at Be Our Guest is amazing. It does have a french flair to it (after all, Beauty and the Beast is set in France), but even a picky eater can find something amazing to eat. I have gotten the Croque Monsieur, which is a grilled ham sandwich with gruyere cheese and bechamel, served with pommes frites (french fries). I've also tried a bite or two of the braised pork, which is slow cooked and served with mashed potatoes and green beans jardiniere, which was also amazing. However, my favorite thing on the menu is The Master's Cupcake. It is a chocolate sponge cupcake served with the grey stuff on top. Try it; it's delicious!

Be Our Guest has been open since late 2012 and continues to be highly sought after reservations for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Being able to step into the movie is so magical. The food is delicious. If you're able to, try for a reservation! It's worth it.
