The 27 Best Restaurants At Disney World 2024 - Orlando - The Infatuation

"This quick-service spot is pretty close to the park entrance, never has a very long line, and serves some of the most reliable food at Hollywood Studios. The chipotle chicken salad roll is the best thing on the menu, and it’s ideal for a quick meal under $20. " - Carina Finn Koeppicus

Located in Disney World’s Hollywood Studios, it’s by naturally steep. But the food is very very average and way overpriced. The cops were cv overdone. The mac and cheese was bland and the quantity wasn’t sufficient. I would recommend going a little ahead and eating at one of the other restaurants

The menu here changes frequently & is very limited. They once served sushi (!), another time foot-long hot dogs. But today I tried their Chipotle Chicken Salad Roll. It's "just OK" if you're medium-hungry. Serving size is small (photo is deceiving) with the bread roll (delicious) at maybe 5 inches long. The chicken-filling is skimpy. Especially disappointing was the "salad" mixed in - skimpy portions of watercress & tiny specks of celery, tomato & onion. Hardly deserves calling this part of the mix a "salad". // The house chips are good, the Cast Members are friendly & efficient, and the outdoor shaded seating is great for people watching and with views of Echo Lake, so that's worth at least 3 stars!

It’s alright! Hot dog restaurant that serves big portions. It is an outdoor location with short hours however, so be prepared if there’s bad weather.

Let's dock and roll! ;) Casual semi-fastfood ship-looking spot in Disney Hollywood Studios where you'll have no problem finding a place to dock your butt even at the busiest times. We tried ordering via Disney app but it wasn't working so we just stood in line for about 15 minutes during the lunchtime rush. We easily found a table for all 4 of us shaded with an umbrella. My Shrimp Roll really impressed me. It came with fennel and radish in a light dressing on a buttered brioche bun and a side of seasoned chips. It was so full of nicely-sized shrimp that some were trying to escape. While both of my kids found their Mac and Cheese to be too creamy and overcooked (which seems to be the case in all of Disney), they enjoyed the included mandarin orange, apple slices, and low fat milk (or water). Keep calm and dock on! NOTES/TIPS: **Outdoor seating only with umbrellas on all tables. **Wheelchair-accessible. **Restrooms are a bit far near the Indiana Jones show.

A bit pricey for the amount of food you get. the mac n cheese bacon hot dog was good. there are cheaper food options in the park that could save you some money.

1/18/23. I ordered hot dog #3. The dog was NOT hot, but luke warm. With the first bite, the bun started falling apart, and condiments falling out. I do not recommend, even though it was fresh and tasty.

Food was OK. Chicken Sandwhich was tasty. However the chips were over salted. And I didn't like how the P&J kids sandwhich was the smucklers tiny sandwhich, I thought it would've been freshly made.

Best hot dogs at Walt Disney World. This is a small window-service quick service setting with quite a bit of outdoor seating. It's a tiny menu, but great for a hot dog break.

A quick hotdogs pick up stand at Hollywood studio. There were out door tables with umbrellas to provide shades from the Florida sun. Ordered pretzel hot dog with sauerkraft, the hot dog tasted ok but the bun didn't taste good. L

Good fast food, had hot dogs and chips both were fresh and good. Draft beer good and nice hot coffee on a cold day. Nice outdoor seating in the sunshine. Most highly recommended.

Felt like a theme park corn dog the whole time but it seems like only Magic Kingdom sells them and not the other parks. Our friends said Dockside had Nathan's hotdogs and it seemed like a good remedy to the hotdog cravings. The building is in a fake boat right next to the lake with plenty of places to sit that are covered from unexpected rain. The reason for the low review is the chips that come as sides for all the hotdogs. It seemed like they were really old and had too much time to soak up the Florida humidity, I tried chips from different trays for our entire party and they all tasted damp, limp, and stale. We tried saving some in a bucket to try to reheat later but eventually trashed all of them for popcorn. Frozen Lemonade with Tito's Handmade Vodka: Light on the vodka but so refreshing on a hot day. Hotdogs: Tasted great and are all-beef though apparently they don't use Nathan's hotdogs anymore.

Quick and conveniently located quick lunch spot in Hollywood Studios. Plenty of seating. I highly recommend the Chipotle Chicken Salad Roll. Great flavor. Refreshing on a hot day.

Dockside Diner is a quick service food spot that is made to look like a docked ship, and is located on the lake at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This quick service food spot has changed menus a million times over the years. Most recently it served hot dogs and Mac n cheese for sometime. The latest menu to come out is a really winner containing only 3 menu items. It consists of shrimp salad roll, Chipotle chicken roll, and fish dip. All 3 items are served with homemade chips. I got to try 2 of the 3 items on my latest trip. Shrimp salad roll- A pleasant surprise! Shrimp were large and well seasoned. Chipotle chicken salad roll- Very tasty with just enough kick. The latest menu is hands down a five star! Dockside makes for a great choice for a light lunch. Side note: There are quite a few bad reviews here, but they all seem to be from past menus and not the current one.

Big dog My wife and I split a chili-cheese dog yesterday when we visited Dockside Diner as we waited before running over to the Frozen Sing-a-long Show. That was a big dog, more substantial than I expected. It was also pretty good, a cheese sauce and the chili making it messy. To cradle it was a big bun, more bread than we needed but not sure if a thinner bun would have worked very well. Not crowded, I explained in another review we were there the day before the opening of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Dockside Diner is outside, you order at a counter and there are several tables, some partly shady. A nice place to sit and watch the other tourists on a cooler day. The dog came with chips, which I realize today after looking at the online menu. We didn't get any chips. Not sure if I was supposed to serve myself somehow or chips should have been added to our tray. Make sure you get your chips.

Good selections, correct price point for the type of food we picked up. Very helpful staff. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat. Seating is outside but sufficient.

The good food, mostly shrimp sandwiches, chicken salad, kids Mac and cheese etc. The food is absolutely delicious, the chicken salad chipotle was excellent and the chips on the side were a crunchy salty deep fried chip which complimented this dish well. They even serve beer and other cocktails. The Quick Services.

Great bite! Centrally located in Hollywood Studios right on the pond. We went here in between Indians Jones and the Mickey Mouse ride and it was well worth the time. Outdoor seating only

This place was definitely a pleasant surprise. After a few failed attempts on getting a reservation, we ended up here. I got the chipotle chicken salad sandwich and it was huge and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite things I got on the trip.

This is one of my favorite meals when in the park! The size of the hot dog is Instagram worthy itself, but it also tastes really good. Whenever I am in a theme park, I try to eat something that I would not have on a regular basis and this foot long chili cheese dog is it! The line was short and the service was quick. Seating is outside, which can be a little brutal in the summer, but in the shade it really didn't feel too bad. I do wish that fries were offered instead, but considering it's made on a boat, they may not have the option for that. Overall, great meal that can easily be split among 2 and still leave you full.

I had the chicken salad roll. Sandwich was really good, enough mayonnaise (I don't like them when they are too dry) only downside is that it was on the small size. But being that it's Disney, this is just enough food to keep

This place actually blew me away and I was pleasantly surprised. Quick service sometimes is a hit or miss especially in Disney Hollywood Studios or even Magic Kingdom for that matter. This place sits in the boat docked in the lagoon in the center of Hollywood Studios and doesn't look like much. You can either mobile order or order in person which is a change to other places which only offer mobile ordering. The menu is all southeast coast food, mostly shrimp sandwiches, chicken salad, kids Mac and cheese etc. The food is absolutely delicious, the chicken salad chipotle was excellent and the chips on the side were a crunchy salty deep fried chip which complimented this dish well. They even serve beer and other cocktails. I was shocked at how good the food was since the place is tiny. I would make this a must try!

Walk up QSR in Disney's Hollywood Studios with outdoor seating only. It's really hard to miss the "boat" this food stand is located inside. They have a very limited menu (no kid's meals), but it's ok for a quick bite. They also serve several different beers here as well as sangria. They serve the infamous Disney turkey legs here which are always good and enough for two people to share if you're wanting ore of a snack versus a full meal. I recently tried the frankfurter in a pretzel roll. It comes with dijon mustard, but you can get it without. I'm not a huge fan of mustard, so I ordered mine without. It was ok, but not as good as Auntie Anne's pretzel dogs. It most certainly wasn't worth the $8.59 price. I can most certainly say it wasn't good enough for me to ever get another one. I bumped the review from 2 stars to 3 stars because they do have the amazing turkey legs and also b/c it's somewhere hubby can grab a beer on a hot day while in the Park.

My daughter and I tried out Dockside Diner last week and thought it was decent.The food was average, but it was a nice, easy place to eat at if you are on the go between fast passes and shows. I ordered the loaded nachos. One thing I enjoyed about them was that the toppings were plentiful. (Some places that serve nachos tend to skimp on their toppings). My daughter had the Mac n cheese which came with a fruit, veggie and a drink. I like that they provide a couple of healthy side options with the kids meal and just not one. There was not much of a wait for ordering and picking up food which was nice compared to most Disney restaurants.I would consider returning.

OMG!! If you want a hot dog with a twist..this is it! The Carolina dog is great! You will certainly walk away with a full stomach and it had great taste. Roast beef was cooked perfectly. That is the first time I have ever eaten a hot dog without Ketchup! The service was very fast and I recommend the Disney meal plan. Can't go wrong with this place.

Compared to the other Disney parks, Hollywood Studios really does not excel when it comes to counter service food offerrings. Food options at this diner consist of hotdogs, a pulled pork sandwich and chili cheese nachos. Outside benches and tables are available. This would not be my first choice to eat, even in DHS.

This was hands down our best theme park meal during our 5 day disney / 2 day universal trip. We were here on the MLK holiday and the food was fast, hot, delicious and well portioned. MANY of our meals at the other parks were priced the same but came with half the quantity of food (they also weren't as tasty). Would highly recommend the foot long hot dog with pulled pork.

Woooowzaaaaa talk about a big dog!!!! Always heard stories about this place, so decided to finally check it out. I'm a Disney fanatic so I sped a lot of times in the park. Ordered the Carolina dog. It comes with pulled pork and slaw. Im not a cold slaw fan so I asked for it on the side and added melted cheese to it instead. Took it too another level! The hot dog was all beef and also served with a side of chips. The total bill for the hotdog, coke and a beer was around $25. It's def a shareable meal. You might get sick if you eat a foot log with pulled pork on your own.

Min and Bill's Dockside Diner was the worst meal we experienced all week. It was barely edible. There was so much salt on their chili cheese nachos (chips and chili) that we saved our potato chips for later and ate the nachos sparingly. The foot long carolina hot dog was a little better but equally high blood pressure and heart attack inducing. We chose to eat at Min and Bill's from lack of options. It was close to 8 PM and most of the restaurants were closed already at Hollywood Studios. Min and Bill's were still serving food. We sat down in darkness (not too many lights) and found ourselves right by a bunch of really loud speakers. Shortly the fireworks show Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular started. We had perfect views from where we were sitting at Min and Bill's. Don't come to Min and Bill's for the food. Come for the free seating to watch the nighttime entertainment. Just bring ear plugs because it is insanely loud.

Huge footlong hotdogs for the money and good flavor with mounds of toppings. Ordered the footlong with pulled pork and Cole slaw on it. Wasn't sure what to expect but loved the combination. My daughter had the traditional Coney and normally has an appetite to finish anything. She could only eat half. Orders come with chips and I believe the price was $10-12. My wife had a pulled pork sandwich and everyone enjoyed their meal and sitting in the Hollywood Studios center area by the water.

I was looking for a quick service place to get food prior to the Beauty and the Beast show. This was literally the only one I could find in the ten minutes I had while the others were in the restroom. And thank goodness, because it turned out to be delicious. Carolina dog: 1 foot long all-beef hot dog with pulled pork and slaw on top. We split this between three (small) adults. It was perfect. There was so much meat (to us). Must have a drink on hand as the sauce is strong and a bit salty. We passed on the chips- too salty. Condiments come in packets, but we didn't end up using them because the whole dang thing was already so tasty. Kid's pulled pork: This was one of the bigger hits of the whole trip, she actually ate half of it! It came with milk, apple slices and carrot sticks (tiny bit of a push to be healthy I guess). Protip: Get food here, just carry the whole tray to the Beauty and Beast show and eat while you're waiting (sitting down because ya smart and got a fast pass). Stick tray under seat during show, Use tray to dump all the trash; Bring the tray back after the show. Voila, a normally slow eating child will get all the time she wants to eat, but the adults get to watch a fantastic show at the same time.

Besides the food being overpriced of course because we're at Disney we literally had 50 chips with 2 teaspoons of cheese for nachos. Hot dog bun was so hard I probably could have used it as a frisbee. Being at an amusement park I don't expect gourmet meals but at least something I can slightly enjoy!

This is a pretty standard quick service restaurant at Disney. However, this location is outdoors and has a pretty limited menu. You can find footlong chili hot dogs, loaded nachos and pulled pork sandwiches. For those of you that eat smaller portions, you can easily share with someone else to save a few bucks. Exhibit A is the footlong hot dog in my photo. Food is ok, the pulled pork was pretty decent. You can get a nice cold Yuengling on draft here for those hot summer days. It can get busy and there not an awful lot of seating so have someone in your party scout out a table while you order and wait for your food.

I forgot to take a picture of our foot longs, but they were pretty good. They weren't really hot dogs though. More like a big bratwurst. It's more than I can eat. So yeah it was $13.00, but not a bad deal with all things considered. I thought the chili kind of sucked though. I don't like how these food places are so limited on the menus. Every place only has like 2 or 3 things so a family can never get what each person wants without going several places and standing in several lines. The counter to order from is some mock-up of a boat. You order, pay, and pick up your food and then discover there is nowhere to go. You can't exit. You're sort of trapped there holding your tray with the people behind you wanting to move forward but now you're excusing yourself and trying to get past them so you can get out and they can get in. And then they aren't nearly enough tables so we had to eat on a park bench. But this was not fine dining, so it served its purpose as a snack. Another thing worth mentioning is that they didn't have anything small for the kids. We bought two foot longs though and shared 2-3" of each for the kid so it worked out.

Large portions, mac & cheese with pulled pork is a definite 4. Service friendly but slow. A lot of outside seating. Served beer. Foot longs were long. Could have had a little more chili but better than waiting in 40 min restaurant line. Make reservations somewhere if you want better fare than this. Needs onions but solid for park food

This is a walk up quick service restaurant in Disney's Hollywood Studios- and it was just fine for what we were looking for. We had no desire to sit down at a waiter service restaurant- so quick service it was. My husband had the huge chili dog and I had a pretzel dog. Both of them were okay and definitely filling- what we were looking for. Several people around us had watermelon salads- and those were being inhaled by those individuals so I might try that if I were to come back. There was a lot of outdoor seating at this location- and we waited until 1 pm to eat lunch to avoid the 11 am-12:30 pm lunch rush.

After touring Hollywood Studios and thoroughly enjoying the Hollywood Tower Hotel and Rock n Roller Coaster it was time to get our eat on. The Dockside Diner is basically a docked ship in a lagoon and looked pretty cool. Ordered the foot long Chili Cheese dog and it was big enough to share. They are liberal with the toppings and it is a pretty wallet friendly considering where you are.

Worst eating experience of the parks so far. The guy at the cash register mumbles and acted like we were a bother. No chili for the chili cheese dog. The bun was cold, but the actual hot dog was good. No butter for the roll that came with the beef plate. My wife wanted milk, but they didn't have any.

We came here on Jan 2nd for lunch primary for my husband. I had read a few places that they have BBQ pulled pork and buffalo chicken Mac and Cheese. He so kindly had eaten everywhere I wanted to and I knew he would throughly enjoy that dish so I wanted to get it for him. We waited in a slow moving line only for the super rude girls at the counter to tell us they no longer sell that. Fine. I guess. He got the foot long with chili instead and enjoyed it. Then I asked her nicely if she could substitute the chocolate cake that came with the veggie sushi for something else and that it would just go to waste as I don't eat it. She so very rudely stated that they were pre made. Ok I mean I do is read a few places that Disney will go out of their way to make any dietary substitutions and that they are very accommodating. Just not here I guess. It's one thing if that were the case. It's very much another the way she treated me, looked at me and talked down to me. Like my questions were annoying here. Like she hated her job and well, life. I proceeded to tell her that she was the only rude employee I encountered in ALL four parks! I hope maybe that sunk in a bit. I really wish I had remembered her name. Wow. She was awful. Anyway, I ordered two of the veggie sushi meals for $14 each for my girls and me with sides of edamame and cucumber salad. The sushi was ok. Typical premade sushi with harder rice but the sides were great and of course, the chocolate cake went to waste. Such a shame. I hate wasting food. Nice to find a healthy option in the park besides that. So for the sides, the healthy choice and the outdoor seating it's a 3 star. Loved the ducks in the bushes. I fed them only to read later you're not supposed to. Oopsy .

It appears as though this place has changed its fare since some of the reviews. Right now their main attractions are foot long chili dogs and foot long Carolina dogs (topped with slaw and pulled pork). We got the Carolina dogs and were pleasantly surprised. This meal has so much food. Had we noticed the portions, we likely would have shared. We were so impressed by this place and easily ranked it as a top bang for your buck when it comes to quick service meals on the dining plan.

FOOTLONG CHILI CHEESE DOG! That's all you need. Best value for your buck. We went back twice and split a dog with a side of veggie sticks from home. First it was all about the carrot cake cookies, now we are all about the chili dog.
