Boma for picky eaters About This Page:

[crystalloubear]

I would like to try the buffet at Boma and experience something new. DH is the one who is picky - DD and DS will eat most anything. Are there many "regular" type choices??

[HBA117]

The food is delicious. There is a selection of regular American food as well as food with a touch of Africa. Highly reccomend it!

God, I wish I remember. What I can say is that I don't eat meat and DH doesn't eat onions (NONE!) and we were both satisfied here. Plennnnnnty.

I never realized just how picky my 16yo can be until we ate at Boma last week! I reminded her that it was a "cultural experience" and I expected her to at least *try* some things, which she did, but she had plenty of "regular" food choices, too. My 6yo eats her money's worth in strawberries!

My niece is a picky eater also and she loved Boma. She had chicken fingers, french fries and macaroni and cheese. My dad had Prime Rib, all you can eat Prime Rib. I like to experiment so I tried each of their soups and different types of humus. I beleve they also were serving baked chicken. I have only been to 6 different restaurants at Disney, but Boma is my favorite for both taste and variety.

I definitely remember regular prime rib, salmon, and mixed vegetables the times we were there, besides the chicken fingers, mac & cheese, etc. that others have already mentioned.

Good luck, I hope you get to go as my family just loves it!!

I am not particularly picky but neither of us cared for Boma. The service was AWFUL and the manager could have cared less when we mentioned it to him on our way out. The food was ok but not great. I do remember that there was a kids station where a picky eater could make do if nothing else appealed. We would not go here again unless we were with someone who REALLY wanted to go.

I am a picky eater and Love Boma!

I am pretty picky but I tried several new things on the Boma buffet and loved them all. I hope you guys at least try it. Like others have said, if all else fails, at least there's chicken fingers.

I ate chicken fingers and salad!

We did Boma's for breakfast, because I have a family of picky eaters. The food was very good, and there were the regular choices plus several interesting choices for those of us that wanted to be a little adventurous. We all agreed the juice they serve is wonderful. My only complaint was that the service was very slow in a only half filled restaurant. Anytime we requested more juice or salt or ketchup it took several requests before we actually got it. It could have just been our waiter though. I would give it another try.

One thing about Boma that no one really mentions is that most of the food is made with curry or curry-like spices (except for things like the prime rib, hummas and some veges). I can't eat curry as it messes up my stomach. This meant that I couldn't eat 95% of the buffet. I mentioned this to the waitress who mentioned it to one of the chefs. He came out, went through the entire buffet as to what had curry and what didn't and then offered to make me a special salmon dish. It was the BEST salmon I ever had with a lemon sauce over green beans.

Would I eat there again, no. It's not worth the $$ for me to not enjoy all the food or have chicken fingers and mac n cheese. I'd rather eat at O'hana.

I'm a picky eater (meat and potatoes with a few odds and ends thrown in) and there was plenty for me to eat at Boma (breakfast and dinner).

Hello
I love Boma. There are plenty of choices for those American food fams. My younger daughter had macaroni and cheese and french fries as well as some of the more exotic choices. Our service was great. The soups alone are out of this world. Also a disney dining card gets 20% off here. I highly recommend PS reservations since the line can be quite long without them. We made PS about 2 months ahead and had no problem getting a time.

Belle, glad to see I am not the only miniority about BOMA.

Yes, we too didn't quite like it, but Breakfast was better then dinner we both thought. DH won't go back, but I might as there were more selections for me then for him (who is extremely picky about his foods).
