Steakhouse 71

Had dinner at Steakhouse 71 and it was fantastic! We were celebrating completing a mystery pin set and shared the 1971 Sunset fishbowl cocktail, it was refreshing, delicious, and definitely did the job! We both had the French onion soup and wow, easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The photos online don’t lie!! It looks amazing and tastes even better. I ordered it based on reviews and it lived up to the hype. We also ordered the salmon (the fish of the day), and it was excellent, full of flavor. Not even vegetarian, but I went for the vegetable Wellington and was blown away!! The puff pastry was perfectly flaky, and the filling (mushrooms, artichokes, etc.) was tangy, flavorful, and super satisfying. The roasted Brussels sprouts, onions, and tomatoes on the side were just as tasty. Would 100% come back just for that dish. Big shoutout to our server Missy!! So warm and friendly, felt like chatting with a friend. She was amazing at connecting with guests and gave honest, thoughtful recommendations. You can tell she loves what she does. Highly recommend this spot! Great food and great service!

All our food was fabulous from appetizers to steaks and sides! Our celiac daughter also loved it, and they did an amazing job of accommodating her special needs. They even had gluten free bread to start her meal! Justin was an amazing server who kept our food coming at just the perfect times and had us well supplied on drinks! His recommendations were also spot on. My family and I highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

Worth visiting if you are staying at Contemporary or are in the area. Highly recommend making a booking early as the restaurant was at capacity when we were there, but thankfully we got allocated a booth which definitely made us feel slightly away from the crowd. The prime rib was good, the steak was decent and the desserts were really good. Definitely got a bit greedy and ordered the Mickey chocolate cake but it was actually really tasty and worth it if you have a large group. Not a cheap meal by any means but the service was attentive and the ambience was good, which led to a positive experience for us.

We've heard mixed reviews about Steakhouse 71 so we decided to try it out for ourselves. The service was great and at the price point the food was solid, too. The sauce flight was a fun way to sample the different sauces and mix up the flavors. It's definitely worth a try and we'll be back.

We just got done eating here for our first time and not only was the food great but our server Andrew was AMAZING!! By far the best server I’ve ever encountered. 5/5 STARS. Knew everything about the menu, had the best attitude and made us feel like family. HE DESERVES A RAISE!!!!! Thank you Andrew! You’ve made this experience truly unforgettable. P.S. the chocolate cake was so good!

I had the 10 oz New York Strip, it was amazing. For my drink I got the Sherbet Swirl it was really good I mixed my Orange Sherbet in and it made it like a creamy soda. Lastly, for dessert I got a Steakhouse 71 Signature Chocolate Cake. It was the best and most moist cake I have ever had. I would 100% get it again and recommend it. We almost had a fight in the car ride back over the cake.

Affordable option within the Disney bubble, the best of the dish was actually the potatoes. The beef was just meh. Our server Guido was very kind and inviting. He offered their carrot pancake with crushed pecan (I should've ordered that). Overall, it was quick breakfast before heading to the parks.

We absolutely loved this place! It’s tucked away just off the lobby in the Contemporary. The menu is on the smaller side but they had a lot of good options to choose from. The brioche bread was fantastic and the 15 layer chocolate cake was out of this world. The beef medallions were decent and the chicken dish was very tasty and well-presented.

Got to see the fireworks afterwards dinner Got the pork chop with asparagus Strip steak with creamed spinach Onion rings Onion soup All so good Would definitely go back again when we're at Disney world

Steakhouse 71 - Sizzling, Searing, and Signature Disney Magic Disney's Contemporary Resort, Walt Disney World We just had an incredible time dining at Steakhouse 71 -- and let me tell you, this place delivers on the flavor, the vibes, and that unmistakable Disney hospitality. Three years ago, this space underwent a transformation from The Wave into the bold, retro-cool Steakhouse 71 -- a nod to 1971, the year both Walt Disney World and the Contemporary Resort opened. This isn't just a restaurant -- it's a tribute to history, flavor, and family time done right. Let's talk menu: It's refreshingly simple and to the point (bless). You've got six mouthwatering steak options, all cooked to perfection. I went with the 10oz New York Strip because I like my steak like I like my Disney memories -- big and unforgettable. My wife nearly went for the salmon special, so seafood lovers -- don't sleep on the fish of the day! Sides & Sauces: They've got five signature steak sauces, and I highly recommend the red wine sauce -- savory and classic. Sides are shareable and super tasty -- get the mac and cheese and thank me later. Appetizer Must: The Bacon & Eggs is the MVP. It's so good they couldn't let it go when they transitioned from The Wave. Trust me -- just order it. Dessert Dreams: The 15-Layer Chocolate Cake is legendary. Yes, 15 layers. It's gigantic, rich, and perfect for sharing. We split one between the three of us and still had leftovers. This cake deserves its own parade. Cast Compliment Alert: Massive shoutout to Kaylee, our server. She was phenomenal -- warm, knowledgeable, and totally on it with pairing sauces and resolving a side dish mix-up with extra goodies. Disney service at its best! The only heads-up: it can get a bit loud inside with the open layout, but honestly, it just adds to the lively steakhouse buzz. Whether you're staying at the Contemporary or just park-hopping your way through Walt Disney World, Steakhouse 71 is a must-try. It's bold, it's nostalgic, it's delicious -- right in Mickey's backyard. Let's sizzle, sear, and savor every bite of this magical Disney dining experience.

Nothing was terrible, but nothing was good. We went there for Mother's Day brunch, and it was as mid as it gets. We got the stack burger, because people said they dream about it and it was just a burger. DLuxe and Splitsville at Disney Springs are way better and if you want a fancy burger then go to Tiffins. We also got Walt's prime rib hash, which was bland. If you eat a lot of steak, then you'll be able to tell that the prime rib was reheated after being initially cooked. It's a distinct taste. Not a fan. The service was great. I'll give them that. Ambiance wasn't great. Felt like we were eating in a basement. I wanted to love it, but we won't be back. There's way better options at Disney.

Ryan was outstanding. His attention to details and service were outstanding. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the hotel and all the food and drinks on the menu. The ambiance was loud but it was a very spacious space we had a booth for my birthday. This location used to be the wave and now it's Steakhouse 71. My filet was cooked perfectly paired with Parsi gratin and sauce flight. I really loved the sauce flight the red wine and house sauce were my favorite. Their Caesar was really good it's a deconstructed and you cut it up and make your salad it's so fun. For dessert I couldn't miss the 15 layer chocolate cake with raspberry. Apparently it's 15 layers to represent the 15 floors of the contemporary hotel! Thanks for the cool fact Ryan! Can't wait come back to try more items on the menu! Had a great birthday here!

We are here tonight to enjoy an anniversary celebration! We are excited about the fantastic venue, the excellent service and dining choices and the yummy tastes to go along with it all! Okay - so the low down - our steaks were outstanding. The crème brûlée was awesome - the bread and soup were amazing. It really was a great meal and we got out with our DVC discount for under $160 (not including tip). Thanks for a super celebration SH71! Happy Anniversary to us!

Steakhouse 71 is one of my favorite places to eat at Walt Disney World. It's located inside the Contemporary Resort, the one where the monorail goes right through the middle. From the second I walked in, the service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I went for lunch, so the menu had a few different options than dinner, but everything I tried was so good. Onion rings as an appetizer are a must! For our main courses, I had the Stack Burger, which is rumored to be the best burger on Disney property. It was juicy and flavorful. My husband had the Steak Frites and the meat was tender and juicy. Those two items were a hit! Now let's talk about dessert. I ordered the 15-Layer Chocolate Cake (yes, fifteen layers!) with Jack Daniels chocolate mousse and raspberries. Even if you're stuffed, get it to go, you won't regret it. Another perk: you get free parking at the resort with a reservation, After eating, I took a little time to walk around the resort. The gift shop has some fun stuff, and there's a really cute Mickey ears sign by the pool that makes a perfect photo spot. If you're looking for a great meal away from the parks but still inside Disney property, I definitely recommend Steakhouse 71.

Highly recommend making a reservation as this restaurant is BUSY! We had a reservation and we were seated shortly after checking in with the hostess. Our waiter Nikita was amazing, so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. If you are looking for alcohol recommendations, 1971 Sunset is great sweet option but definitely plan to share because it is huge! The food came quickly despite the restaurant being full. But the star of the evening was the chocolate cake, so moist and delicious.

We are locals and come here quite regularly. Today I ordered the avocado toast which was new for me (I normally order the prime hash.) The avocado toast was served on cuban bread with thinly sliced prosciutto. The plate was garnished with arugula and several types of cherry tomatoes. Very good "light" breakfast. I also ordered a side of the bacon cheddar grits which I love! We are big fans of Steakhouse 71, especially if you dont want to over indulge at Chef Mickey. The service is always great here!!!

I was looking for a breakfast that wasnt just sugar, waffles, pastries, sandwiches, or burritos. And i found the perfect spot! It's right in the contemporary resort and for breakfast it's super quiet and pretty empty. I got their steak and eggs, rare and overeasy. It hit the spot. Didnt even need the sauce, the flavor of the food itself was stellar! The coffee comes with the carafe so I just refilled my cup as i pleased. Highly recommend for breakfast that feels good and gives you some time to relax and plan your day.

Had a fabulous night at Steakhouse 71. This visit was our third time, second for dinner, and it didn't disappoint. It had been two years since our last visit, and I'm happy to say this restaurant remains consistent and excellent. The restaurant is modern and casual. I love all the artwork and photography that showcases the Vacation Kingdom of the World and its early history. It's a quick stop (walk or monorail) from Magic Kingdom if you're looking for a break. In fact, the food is better here than what you'll get in the park. What made our meal? Our server, Giselle. My daughter and I knew we had a gem. Heck, Disney has a gem with her. She is so attentive and sweet. She took our order promptly and made sure we were all set throughout our visit. She was kind and so nice to chat with. a manger came by (also nice!) and we raved about Giselle. We started with bread--soooo good. But my favorite item on the menu is the wedge salad. This salad is not to be missed. That dressing is perfection! Best wedge I've ever had - hands down. My daughter enjoyed the filet. I had the veggie Wellington. It's my second time having it. I love that it's a true veggie dish that doesn't rely on plant-based "meat." The crust is not too bread heavy and the filling is delicious. A nice balance of veggies. A great meal, and we'll definitely be back. Thanks!

Only an 11 minute walk from the entrance to Magic Kingdom. Every single food item here will be better quality and less expensive than everything at Magic Kingdom (minus the corn dog from Sleepy Hollow). I made a lunch reservation on the Disney app for noon yet they were able to seat me at 11:30am when lunch officially starts. I thought the $11 wedge salad was fine. It wasn't as good as Flemings, but fine. The $16.50 espresso martini wasn't on the menu, but it's a full bar. It was a solid 7/10. For the main course I had the famous $24 Stack Burger. It's thicker, but like an In-N-Out double double. I really liked it. And the fried are just like Chick-fil-A. Way better meal than anything you'll ever get at the Magic Kingdom. I'll bring my mom here in 2 weeks.

Nothing short of Amazing dinner at this restaurant. We had checked out the menu beforehand and had an idea of a few dishes we wanted to try. On a whim we ordered the egg on grits pork belly appetizer. It was an explosion of a perfect flavor combination. Soooo good. Everything else was perfection. Our server was right on point with our vibe and so fun to interact with her. We left room for dessert and it was also amazing. We entered food coma status upon our exit.

We came here with some family one evening to celebrate a few little occasions, and for a nice Christmas dinner. Nestled in the lobby of Disney's Contemporary, the ambiance is very nostalgic Disney. There are pictures everywhere of Walt Disney World at various points in time. Looking back through Disney history is always nice, I think. Within the dining room, I will admit, the grandiosity of the place is some of the best I have ever seen. Disney certainly designed this place to get a lot of oohs and ahhs. Old school vibes with the woods and the modern contemporary art adorning most of the wall space. A huge, vast open design that makes it seem like you can see every single of the room all at once. It's just very pretty. Service was nice. A very friendly guy. Nothing too out of the ordinary once way or the other. Not as top notch as you would expect at a designated steakhouse, but we never hurt for refills. You know. Now for the food. We started out with the Shrimp Cocktail (Citrus-poached Shrimp, Cocktail Sauce, Chive Oil). Unless you're old old school, skip this. No hint of citrus poaching, chive oil wasn't very chivey. This is a dish to satisfy certain people's nostalgia. Then we moved onto the Sea Salt-dusted Potato Brioche (Butter, Roasted Garlic-Tomato Spread). Wow! Such a soft brioche with a nice, crusty exterior, paired perfectly with those large, giant salt crystals. Lovely the way it is, but then your spread that garlicky, tomatoey spread on it, and it's just so unctuous. A lovely bread. Everyone should get this. I personally ate the 10-oz New York Strip, medium rare, for my entrée. Sides of Mashed Potatoes and Creamed Spinach. I don't know, man. It was definitely medium. I don't blame them for overdoing it, since the cut was so thin. The mash was silky smooth, but there wasn't really a speck of seasoning on it other than butter. The creamed spinach was a very nice addition, but again, lack of seasoning. I also got a bite of the 6-oz Filet Mignon, medium rare, with a side of Macaroni & Cheese. Another subpar steak, but this side was the best side of the night. Nicely cheesed noodles with a nice bite to them and some bread crumbs on top for a nice texture. This side was a winner. The best part of the evening, hands down, was the Flight of all five (5) Sauces. A little cup of each of the five steak sauces, the red wine, the whipped horseradish cream, salsa verde, the béarnaise, and the signature steakhouse 71. The best one, and the most complex one was their signature. If you only get one sauce, I would pick that one, and the salsa verde was just unnecessary. We finished up with the second best part of the evening, the Steakhouse 71 Signature Chocolate Cake (15 Layers of Jack Daniels-infused Decadent Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Mousse, Raspberries). Decadent AF. A slight tinge of that Jack, pairing well with a nice, solid mousse. There could have been more raspberries involved, to cut through the richness, but good thing I was sharing it. Overall, this was a nice place to eat at. If you're looking for a steakhouse on Disney property, I would probably hit up Toledo or Shula's, but if you have a budget or are being treated to this place, just get the largest steak you can, order it one level rarer than you want, and get the mac & cheese. You'll be fine.

In town for Marathon weekend, we knew the burger at steakhouse 71 was what we wanted to celebrate so we headed to the lounge around 2:30 one day. No problem getting a seat. The burger did not disappoint. It was flavorful. The fries were outstanding with a crispy Parmesan coating. And the tequila sunrise drink was strong and delicious.

Pros: Ambiance was beautiful. It's a Disney hotel restaurant, and it's surrounded by old Disney pictures. I love Disney history, so it was fun looking around at all those picture. Service was nice. We had a nice fellow who made sure all of our needs were met. We tipped him well. Food was very good! Steaks were cooked well, and they had something I've never seen before, a flight of sauces for your steaks. I love flights, and I love sauces, so this was perfect. Cons: The sides were actually very unimpressive. The best one was my mac and cheese, and even that needed a little more seasoning. Their appetizers also need a little more imagination. Tips: Get the bread, get the sauce flight, and get the chocolate cake! You'll have a good night.

This evening I'll give it a four star. Don't get me wrong it's a great place to grab a great meal and relax after a long day in the parks. However the service was just a little off tonight. I should not have to be the one to inquire about putting a beverage order in and when you have our drinks it's probably best to drop them off at our table first vs going to the table next to us to take a dessert order while we've been seated for over 20 minutes. Just off the mark a little bit tonight but could have been a new server or someone learning. Still was very kind and thoughtful during the dining experience.

Steakhouse 71 was a lovely spot for a sit down dinner during my Disney trip. I made sure to get a reservation to avoid any wait times. Everyone I interacted with was very friendly and helpful. I tried their pan-seared chicken entree, brioche rolls, sherbet punch, seasonal cheesecake and their signature chocolate cake. I highly suggest ordering their brioche rolls to start - they were so delicious and the sea salt brings it together so well. The sherbet punch was a unique drink to try and I enjoyed it. The chocolate cake was just okay, but if you are in a group it's worth trying to share with everyone. I enjoyed the seasonal cheesecake way more even though I am definitely a chocolate lover. The pan-seared chicken entree was great and I really liked the mustard sauce it comes with. My kids enjoyed their meals as well especially making their own ice cream sundae. Thank you Steakhouse 71!

I've wanted to try Steakhouse 71 on our last visit but I couldn't make myself go to the Contemporary as it was a bit ways away. Continuing on our honeymoon trip saga, we decided to make ourselves go visit the Contemporary on our rest day. We made a lunch reservation, checked in 20 minutes prior on the app, and waited in the lobby. The place was bustling on a Sunday lunch. My husband and I got the fork & knife caesar salad and french onion soup ($10 each) and they were both really good. Our server, Matt, told us that the caesar dressing is housemade and it was delicious. Loved it. The french onion soup was classic; not too salty or sweet with rich caramelized onion flavor, came out really hot, and the cheese on top was yummy and not too thick. For our entrees, I got the steak frites that came with waffle fries ($28). The steak (which I got medium rare) was okay, could've been better as it was pre-sliced so a tad cold already. But the waffle fries were phenomenal (and I usually don't like waffle fries that much, compared to other fry varietals). Perfectly crispy, hot, and with the truffle aioli? Perfection. My husband got the prime rib sandwich ($22), which was pretty good too. The prime rib was quite tender, but it was a tad bland. It came with horseradish, which added some much needed flavor, but even then I think it could've been slathered on some more. And of course, we had to try the signature Steakhouse 71 chocolate cake ($13) and it did not disappoint. It was so rich and indulgent we could not finish it, but definitely worth trying and sharing if you can. Matt was also kind enough to bring us an extra dessert and champagne to celebrate our honeymoon. Service was great throughout, and he refilled our sodas a few times without asking. We had a great time at lunch, and for Disney I didn't think the prices were actually that high. Granted, I looked at the dinner prices and did not want to pay for dinner prices, so we opted for lunch with no regrets. Would come back again for lunch. Come here, and not definitely not California Grill if you're at the Contemporary. *visited in Dec 2024*

Excellent spot in the contemporary resort for breakfast. We made a 9:10 reservation on a sunday morning but they took us early. The staff is very friendly. Smaller menu but everything was fantastic. Three of us got an order of eggs benedict and my husband did the steak and eggs. Everything was cooked perfectly. The side order of bacon and cheddar grits are a must order. I dont like grits but these were so good and would make you change your mind. Only Issue was the food did take a while to come out but our server was great. This place is worth returning!

I really wanted to like this place ... and came here upon a recommendation from a friend. The food here was very medicore and anyone expecting a steak experience comparable to what you get at Le Cellier at Epcot will definitely be disappointed. My issue stems from the fact that the quality of the meats here were just not that great. The strip I ordered was not very flavorful and somewhat rubbery. The other steaks I tried at the table were also just kind of flabby and not that memorable in any way, especially not for a steakhouse-caliber experience. The garden salad was average and the French onion soup was very salty and I didn't end up finishing it. I have no real sense of the sides as well. Honestly if you're looking for a great meal at the Contemporary, just skip this place and head up to California Grill. The difference is literally night and day. If you want a good steakhouse experience at WDW, just make it easy and go to Le Cellier at Epcot. It's not even in the same universe in terms of meal quality. That said, the service here was very nice and the ambiance was good too. But if you want great steaks, go somewhere else.

We went by Steakhouse 71 before Magic Kingdom, and we absolutely loved it! Everything was very clean and tidy once we arrived. I had a cappuccino which did the job in waking me up before the theme park. I ordered the steak and eggs with breakfast potatoes, and it was delicious! For the price, and quality of steak I was extremely satisfied! The cherry on top was Magic Kingdom being so close of a walk away after breakfast. Can't wait to come back!

We originally had a reservation but decided to sit at the bar instead. The bar has a more limited menu but it was enough for what we were looking for. The bartender was very prompt and helpful. We had our drink orders taken as soon as we sat down. We split a large fishbowl drink, 1971 Sunset, and it was delicious! Definitely one that has to be shared. The caesar salad was quite good. I would recommend asking for the dressing on the side, as it was a little too heavy for myself and another patron sitting near us. But otherwise, delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxed but also slightly upscale. It wasn't a Disney park restaurant but you could definitely come in park attire. We absolutely plan to go back, especially for that drink!

10 stars ALWAYS This was my third time here (all within the past year) Although we haven't stayed at the contemporary resort yet I do love visiting/exploring and coming to Steakhouse 71 while we are in Disney. From drinks to apps and dinner (and can't forget dessert) everything is always timed perfectly , cooked to order, presented beautifully! Menu has just enough options/choices but isn't overwhelming- there is also a children's menu with a decent variety of choices Incase you have picky eaters.. clean, organized, relaxing environment. Reservations always run on time (sometimes earlier!) We are always greeted at the door with smiles and friendly staff.. which also carries on into bartenders, wait staff etc.. everyone is personable , knowledgeable and kind. We have recommended this restaurant to so many people and they have nothing but positive feedback too so try it out !!

We just got done eating here for our first time and not only was the food great but our server Andrew was AMAZING!! By far the best server I've ever encountered. 5/5 STARS. Knew everything about the menu, had the best attitude and made us feel like family. HE DESERVES A RAISE!!!!! Thank you Andrew! You've made this experience truly unforgettable P.S. chocolate cake was so good

Really really great food. Starters we had onion rings and the potato brioche, both delish if not a little small for the price. For entrees I had the fish dish which was salmon, the orzo it came with was amazing. Others I was with had two different steak cuts and the chicken dish, the sides were all great but the au gratin potatoes were the star. Service was ok, definitely seemed a little less enthusiastic than your average cast member but she did a great job. The restaurant is in the basement of the resort, so the vibes aren't amazing but it's nice inside nonetheless.

One random day we decided to come here for lunch as it just sounded right and let me say it totally was in just that way! So first off I went with a French Onion Soup and you so know that it hot on all the levels that one could hope it was rich with that broth and packed with cheese as well as a bread sponge in the middle to soak up more of that scrumptious goodness! There were a handful of yummy things to get for lunch too but out of all of them I just went with their burger because it just sounded right for the day and let me say it totally was as it was packed with flavorful meat that was stacked with cheese as well as those yummy house made pickles on it to draw it all together totally delicious with every bite! It also came with a side so I totally went with the Ceaser salad and let me say it was yummy it was a huge chunk of lettuce that was super crispy fresh and just downright yummy with that dressing and Parmesan on top! My friend got some of that chocolate cake and she said it was super rich and flavorful from start to finish line just soooo chocolate! Overall this was a super good lunch and a cool visit to one of my favorite resorts so do yourself a favor and come for lunch you'll be stoked you did!

One of the one of the security guards at the Contemporary Resort actually recommended that I get the red wine sauce to accompany my prime rib and it was absolutely amazing! The prime rib was very tender and the sauce blew me away! I'm returning very soon and can't wait to eat the same meal! The service was great and the ambience was very nice too. Prices are very reasonable especially for being a Disney restaurant. I definitely recommend a visit! Get the red wine sauce too!

They knocked the horns off..and that was it GOOD: - the sides we had were awesome (creamed spinach, creamed corn, and button mushrooms). A little salty but were very good - seated quickly and they were very personable - onion rings were good, but $2 a ring. I should leave engaged (but it is a theme park) BAD: - we asked for prime rib to be medium rare. Well it was more rare than medium - they took it back, and we got an end that was seasoned but still horror movie bloody. SHRUG: - our server was efficient but not engaging like previous experiences. It would be a hard bar to jump over.

Finally made it in for dinner here, and it did not disappoint! This is another great spot on Disney property that has great value and great food, and lets you explore the Contemporary resort. The art in this space interests me every time I come, and I love how they've used the space. Service is always wonderful, we've had some of the best servers here! We enjoyed the French onion soup and the bread to start - the BREAD! Wow, the pull-apart style bread was delicious and soft, and came with great butter and tomato spreads. I'm still thinking about it. We both went for steak - the strip and the medallions. Both were tasty and well-liked, but I think the medallions stole the show! The au gratin potatoes were lovely and it was a good amount of food for us. Of course, we also had to try their famous chocolate layer cake... it lives up to the hype! Chocolate lovers will adore this one. The creme brûlée dessert was great too, and we had no complaints about this meal. I can't wait to come back here!

Wife and I went to Steakhouse 71 and were happy with our visit. First this place I would recommend not bringing kids it is a more upscale place and children would ruin the experience not only for the family but other guest. The service was excellent and prices were fairly expensive our bill was around $118.00 including tip with no alcohol beverages. I had prime rib $38 and my wife had the salmon $30 both were great. My wife got an order of onion rings $10 and I also got onion soup $10. Both were great. Overall we had a good experience. The reason for the 4 stars was due to not serving bread with the meal, but was available as an appetizer and the overall price we felt was typical Disney high. Also we were able to walk in at 5:00 when they opened but would recommend reservations because it filled up fast.

This is absolutely one of my favorite Disney restaurants! Steakhouse 71 is a restaurant located on the first floor of Disney's Contemporary Resort. The Contemporary Resort is one of the original/oldest Disney resorts. Steakhouse 71 is easily accessible from Magic Kingdom if you want to take a break from the parks and come grab a delicious quick bite. It's definitely a must! The restaurant offers a casual laid back environment. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is sure to have something for everyone. I dined at Steakhouse 71 for lunch as I waited for my hotel room. I wanted to try a little bit of everything and that's exactly what I did. Here's what I/we ate: Lump Crab Cakes French Onion Soup Onion Rings Stack Burger (left off the pork belly) Fennel and Citrus-crusted Salmon Prime Rib Sandwich Steakhouse 71 Chocolate Cake 15 layer cake I really enjoyed my dining experience. Even though we ordered a lot of food and arrived closer to the end of lunch. We did not feel rushed. Our waitress was friendly and went over the tip to ensure we had a great dining experience. I had requested a particular mocktail that a content creator recommended but it wasn't exactly on the menu, but our waitress took the extra step to create something that was very similar and it really made my day!! I have to say out of everything we tried my favorite dishes were the lump crab cakes, fennel and citrus-crusted salmon, and the prime rib sandwich (which was recommended by the waitress). These 3 items are a must if you are dining at Steakhouse 71! So delicious. I'm not a steak person but as you can see by the selection of food that my family ordered there's a little something for every palate! If you are near Disney and want to take a break from the park food or if you are in town visiting the Orlando area, check out Steakhouse 71. But make sure you make a reservation this place fills up fast.

I'm going to be real honest... I haven't had a bad meal here. Steakhouse 71 is one of those rare Disney spots where I know exactly what I like to order, and it delivers every single time. Before I even get into the food, I have to shout out the amazing cast members working here. The service is consistently spectacular, making every visit feel special. On our most recent breakfast visit my wife ordered the Western Omelet (ham, onion, peppers, and cheddar served with breakfast potatoes). When I asked how it was, her first word was "yummy," which is high praise. She especially loved the caramelized onions and the perfectly crispy breakfast potatoes on the side. I went with the Steak and Eggs--two eggs any style, breakfast potatoes, and a small sirloin steak cooked to order with Béarnaise sauce. The steak was tender and perfectly cooked, which isn't always easy with a more affordable cut. An absolute winner for a solid breakfast option. For the table, we shared the Steakhouse 71 Seasonal Pancakes, which change based on the time of year. Since it was Valentine's Day, we were treated to red velvet pancakes with a cream cheese icing drizzle. I love that Steakhouse 71 has fun with seasonal menu items like this--kudos to the chefs for their creativity! Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this place is a must-visit at Disney's Contemporary Resort. Great food, fantastic service, and a menu that keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!

Like most Disney properties and restaurants the staff are helpful and friendly. The premises nicely done and laid out. The menu choices are limited compared to full service diners and restaurants. Sometimes the food is hit or miss and today was an in between. The Bloody Mary was done well good seasoning. The ham-cheese omelette was good the potatoes done well but the English muffin barely was toasted or warm. The prime rib hash browns with egg was a miss. The prime rib was no more than cut up steak with minimal flavor but the egg was done right and the potatoes good.

I had the French onion soup as my appetizer. Truly the best soup I've ever had. As my entree I had the pan-seared chicken as I do not like steak. It was so moist and flavorful! Dessert was the Sea Salt Turtle Crème Brûlée. It tasted like a melted Milky Way and was absolutely divine. We enjoyed this dinner so much we came back later in the week and had the exact same dishes! Almost forgot to mention the service! It was top notch! This has become one of our top dining experiences on Disney property.

When you go to the Flying Fish, you are informed that this is Bob Iger's favorite restaurant in all of Disneyworld. Well, this is my favorite steakhouse in all of Disneyworld. For a long time, Le Cellier occupied that spot but they've been recently dethroned. Steakhouse 71 is probably one of the best "bang for buck" steakhouses I've been to. Period. I've visited now twice. The restaurant is located in Contemporary Resort so plan accordingly. Parking can be a bit tricky. During the dinner rush, we had to circle the non-valet lots for about 20 minutes to snag a spot. Inside, the ambiance is modern and spacious. There's a variety of tables and booths can accomodate couples or parties of 4 or larger groups which is typical of Disney. On the food, I absolutely recommend the bacon & eggs plus the Prime Rib. I get it rare; you can choose your comfort level. The bacon & eggs alone are well worth the revisit. I've eaten a lot of pork belly but the tenderness and the flavor of this belly stood out above the rest. When paired with a poached yolky egg and those grits and it's a life-changing kind of food item. The Prime Rib is $38. Let that sink in. Any steakhouse atendee knows that quality steak is easily double that price point. And this is quality. The first time I visited the server also recommended the red wine reduction as a steak sauce and I can't help but agree. It's heady and rich which only adds to the flavor and mouth profile of the steak. As a pro-tip for Disney as well, for any salad you get ask for dressing on the salad. Salads tend to be over drenched in dressing at the parks imo. But I've had both the chopped & fork and knife caesar. Of the two, I think the chopped is superior doubly so if the vinagrette is on the side so you can control how salty it tastes. All in all, Steakhouse 71 is a definite must go for Disney-goer who wants a premier steakhouse experience without totally blowing your trip budget. I will be back.

Steakhouse 71 is not just another Disney restaurant; it's popular with locals! Located where the Wave used to be (RIP, best breakfast buffet deal ever), Steakhouse 71 pays homage to the history of the resort and Magic Kingdom. Situated on the first floor of the Contemporary, the entrance is unassuming, and you might miss it if you're not paying attention. A corridor lined with historical Disney photos leads you to a host stand, central to a waiting area, lounge, dining room, and bar. The restaurant and lounge offer different menus, with the lounge featuring a limited selection of items. The bar is separated from the dining room by window lines with fresh flowers. What you might not notice at first, though, is that there are actually no windows. Without a view, a restaurant needs to have excellent service and food, and Steakhouse 71 excels in both. Breakfast features the best grits I have ever had, and the beef tenderloin medallions are excellent every time. If you order the steak, make sure to get the flight of sauces! The service is always fantastic, and the drinks are great - make sure to add the bar here to your monorail bar crawl list!

Scooter- My daughter and her friends came last night to celebrate their collective 30th birthdays. Sadly they were poorly served and highly disappointed. These ladies saved for the past year to come to Disney in celebration of their birthdays. The table beside them were served their appetizers and entrees before my daughter and her companions even got their appetizers, and they were seated about 15 minutes after my daughter's party. The table behind them was seated 5 minutes after them, and both of those tables were served and out an hour plus before my daughter and her friends. For you to offer your card as a personal service for their next visit is completely disingenuous. These young ladies who saved for a year all live in Pennsylvania and are not able to return. You owe them a comp of their entire check. As a server myself, your staff had a major fail tonight and you need to make this right for your customers. I am attaching their check in advance of your refund. Susan Blasch

We did some bar hopping while at Disney. We caught the monorail from resort to resort and made a stop here to have drinks at the bar with a meal. The bartender made me a great tasting whiskey sour and I tried the 6-oz Filet Mignon* with Baby Iceberg Wedge Salad. The filet mignon requires no additional sauce and it melts in your mouth. Delicious What an amazing spot. Such great food and we couldn't resist the signature chocolate cake. The bartender Bo makes good drinks and he's hilarious. Jokes for days.

Finally got to try Steakhouse 71. Unfortunately, was disappointed. I ordered the 6oz Filet Mignon well done. Which was extremely tough. My husband ordered the 10oz New York Strip also well done, and his was delicious. Not tough or chew. The service gets 5 stars!

We ate Christmas dinner here. Our server was fantastic, food was delicious, and pricing was expected for a premium Disney hotel. We thought it was odd that they charged the table for a bread basket. Everyone was happy with their entrees and drinks

We were unable to get a spot in the restaurant, so we went to the bar instead. Our bartenders were incredible. They were friendly, efficient and entertaining. The atmosphere is relaxed with tvs to watch games, soft music playing in the background, and the ability to chat with a friend or have a drink in solitude. My husband and I shared the 1971 Sunset which was delicious, refreshing and HUGE! We shared the Caesar salad, the onion rings, and the wings. Every single thing was FANTASTIC!

Enjoyed lunch at Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary Resort near Magic Kingdom. There is a lot of hype about Steakhouse 71, having the best burger on Disney property. Both my sister and husband thought it was good, but didn't live up to the hype. I on the other hand had a delicious club sandwich. It's ginormous, and filling. But of course since we were on vacation, we had to get dessert too. My sister got the cheesecake (not pictured), my husband got the chocolate cake, and I got the banana cream pie. We all loved our desserts. Service is great at Steakhouse 71!

Steak wasn't great, but the potatoes, crab cakes, burgers, and onion rings were delicious. Service was fantastic and no at the bar is my favorite.

Saw this place on a you tube post, wanted the burger there & have to say I was really disappointed, it was pretty small, was expecting a bigger burger especially for the price even tho you know everything is overpriced in Disney. Also every pic I've seen of the waffle fries comes in a metal basket & brimming over, mine came on the plate, they weren't hot & looked like 1/2 of a serving. Service was great. Would not recommend.

The next time I go back to steakhouse 71 it will be for dinner. This visit I went for brunch and I wasn't impressed. I've heard really great things about the dinner so I think I will try that. The food is decent, but I just had higher hopes.

First time at Streakhouse 71 and enjoyed it immensely. Typical Disney Restaurant with its theming and very clean and relaxing. Our server Rob was fantastic making light conversation and being entertaining throughout the meal. My wife and I both had omelettes for breakfast and it was delicious will definitely go back!

Key: ME met expectation BE: Below expectations EE: exceeded expectations Had: Caesar salad: BE; NOT good Crab cakes: EE French Onion soup: EE 10oz NY strip. ME Atmosphere: BE Service: EE I think this place is a little overhyped mainly because it's reasonably priced for a Disney restaurant. I probably won't come back. It was just OK. The steak was a lower cut of meat. Not bad; just in line with what you get at longhorn, outback etc Don't waste money on the Caesar salad it was basically just mayonnaise dressing Service was good. The atmosphere was OK. Just a big room with a bunch of people.

Lounge area is great ambiance by the bar. We had a nice server and got their fig manhattan which was nice and an old fashioned. We ordered TSR to go which unfortunately took 50 min for our food. The steak was ok nothing amazing.

Stopped in with some friends on a Sunday night. The place was busy, but not packed so the six of us were able to grab seats at the bar. Inside is very trendy, which cool ambient lighting and decor. Our bartender, Bo, was great. He was funny, very attentive and made wonderful cocktails. The mac and cheese (with jalapeños, sans bacon) is probably the best mac & cheese I've ever had - it was creamy and cheesy with perfectly cooked cavatappi pasta, and the jalapeños gave it just the right amount of heat. I'll go back just for that, but it's all enjoyable. I do have an internal dilemma on prices, which is why I knock them down a star. I'm well aware of the theme park upcharge compared to similar off-property restaurants (seems to be on the order of 25% higher), but cocktails approaching $20 and $10+ beers is getting hard to swallow.
