Someone not staying at the All-Star Resort would really have to go out of her way to reach this food court, since it's the last of the three you reach after clearing the security booth at the Resort entrance. So I'm guessing it's mostly resort folks who eat here, meaning that lunch is pretty uncrowded indeed. Dinner, I'm guessing, is more crowded. And breakfast is probably swarming.

There are multiple "stations," such as one for more upscale food (salmon) and one for cheeseburgers, but we focused on the Italian and pasta place. The hot Italian sandwich ($7) is deli meat, cheese, pesto, and fresh Italian bread put through an oven, then freshly tossed Caesar salad is added on top. It had way more flavor than sandwiches usually do in this price range, and really satisfied. Even the thick-cut natural potato chips that came with it were perfect, crunchy and salty. The spaghetti and meatballs ($8) only included two meatballs, but they were tasty and zesty. The sauce was pretty zesty too. In fact, even the breadstick that came with it was, well, zesty (in this case, with salt and spices). Only the noodles were pedestrian. But really, what do you want from noodles? My wife did complain that the spaghetti was runny. We also sampled an incongruous side dish, chili cheese fries ($3), and they were made with both premium chili and premium cheeses; well worth the money.

Even in the ghost-town mid-afternoon, we had a minor wait, so this place must either snap to attention during busy spells, or suffer enormous waits. There is a cavernous indoor seating area typical of food courts. You won't find privacy or particuarly comfortable seating, but you should find a seat. And if it's lunch when you're visiting, you'll have plenty of elbow room--everyone else is at the parks!
