Updated: April 19, 2024

26. Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction

SCORE: 3.00

“Cute themeing ,just not a lot there. There’s other places that have a wider variety of ice cream. They also don’t have water at this location either.”

25. Neighborhood Bakery

SCORE: 4.00

“Had the Jack Jack’s Num Num Cookie and I was not impressed. The main flavor was salt which, considering how much chocolate is in this cookie, is impressive. It was served warm, but had obviously just be put under a heat lamp. It was not the freshest.”

24. Epic Eats

SCORE: 5.00

“If you love funnel cakes you’ll love this place. My husband and I each got a different funnel cake and that was the wrong move. Definitely share these funnel cakes with someone or a couple people. Too overwhelming for one person to eat on their own. Other than the funnel cakes this place has soft serve ice cream and an alcoholic root beer float that is delightful.”

23. Oasis Canteen

SCORE: 6.00

“Great place to grab a quick drink if you are watching the Indiana Jones store. We went here and got the frozen rum runners- they were tasty, and refreshing on a hot day. But the smell of this place is similar to the local dive bar you went to in college, reeks of old alcohol even just standing and waiting for a drink.”

22. Fairfax Fare

SCORE: 6.42

“good spot, good food/snacks, but nothing too special.”

“Mobile ordered a Beer while in the queue for one ride and as soon as I got off the ride pushed the button I was there but it timed out as it took me 5 minutes to navigate to that side of the park. But showed the CM the email with the order number and received my Beer and from there went straight to Fantasmic.”

“$32 dollars for a snack, AT BEST”

21. Kat Saka’s Kettle

SCORE: 6.44

“Below average setting, food isn’t great. I honestly don’t love it here.”

“I was very underwhelmed with the popcorn here. I guess I had high expectations because EVERYONE had a bag of popcorn. It tasted alright, but the flavor wasn’t very bold. I think if it had a little more POP flavor, it’d be amazing.”

“The Outpost Mix is such a yummy snack to have while exploring Galaxy’s Edge! While the menu describes the popcorn as being sweet and spicy, I honestly didn’t taste much of a difference between the two when eating the kernels separately. The flavors were mild but tasty, so don’t be afraid if you’re not a fan of spicy foods.”

20. Minnie’s Seasonal Dine at Hollywood & Vine

SCORE: 6.57

“The food is ok. The corn was really good randomly. Fun to see all the characters and easy to see the characters even when not at your table.”

“This one is just “okay”. We waited about 20 minutes beyond our reservation time. Table was soaking wet when we sat down (they had just wiped it from the previous diners). LOTS of kids running around….I mean, it “is” a character dinner and we knew that going in. Food was pretty good and our server was great.”

“We did the Fantasmic Dinner package for dinner here in early Sept. We had eaten here on trips prior both at breakfast (fantastic) and lunch (food was not so hot literally). But the buffet and service this time around was top notch! Food choices were plentiful and hot, and our service was fantastic! Each of our visiting pals seemed unrushed from each table and everyone looked to be having a blast!”

19. Rosie’s All-American Cafe

SCORE: 6.71

 

“Several years back this was one of our favorite food stalls in HS – mainly because of the Fried Green Tomato sandwich!! Unfortunately, they got rid of this offering – replacing it with a disgusting \”lobster\” roll that of course has no actual lobster in it just hearts of palm??? We really hope this fake food, impossible food, tasteless food trend ends soon. But if you are looking for good fast food (chicken strips, hot dog, burgers, fries) this place is pretty good.”

“If you just want something, this is a great place to just get something. I tried a seasonal offering of the vegan lobster roll and I regret everything about it. Don’t get that, even if you’re vegan.”

“We ate a quick dinner here and it was pretty good. We got your typical quick service food…chicken nuggets, burgers, fries…but it was pretty good. I really liked their fries and the chicken was real chicken, not like the nuggets you get at fast food joints. Food was ready quickly, there were plenty of places to sit.”

18. Oga’s Cantina

SCORE: 6.85

“This bar is super immersive. You really feel like you’re at a bar in Star Wars. You cannot get normal alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks here (besides water obviously), just the themed ones on their menu. They offer very interesting alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks. I personally love a lot of their drinks! The fuzzy tauntaun (makes your mouth tingle lol), jedi mind trick, and blue bantha (non-alcoholic) are some of my favorites. The food here is interesting… it’s more on the snacky side, not my fave, but still good.”

“a must-do if your a star wars fan! the interior is so cool! it really feels like youre in a bar in the world of star wars. the music and atmosphere is perfect. i think 45mins as a max amount of time in the cantina is reasonable and i usually dont need more than that inside there anyway. reversing a spot here at night time is the best because it enhances the bar-life experience and you get to leave to an empty hollywood studios! everyone ive taken there has enjoyed the drinks they received too!”

“The drinks aren’t worth the hype. They are all premade, so you are unable to customize any options, which means most are pretty darn sweet and if you don’t like an ingredient, you’re out of luck. There is a time limit on how long you can be in here, and about 90% of this bar is standing room only. If you are looking for a nice place to have a drink and relax after a long day in the parks- this is not it for you. The atmosphere was incredible and the theming is spot on.”

17. Milk Stand

SCORE: 6.89

“a great addition to galaxy’s edge! i love the idea of there being a milk stand and being able to choose which flavor you want (blue or green). and you can make it alcoholic! i love mobile ordering it because its almost always ready very quickly. a must-do for a star wars fan and still fun for a non-star wars fan!”

“Both my wife and I personally hate both flavors (and textures) of milk… separately. However, Chewbacca gave me a great tip to MIX THE TWO TOGETHER and I loved it. (Non-alc vers.)”

“I absolutely loved the blue milk with rum. I know there are mixed feelings on this so maybe it’s only for adventurous drinkers but I thought the theming and the beverages was great. I did try the green one with no alcohol and I didn’t care for it – so maybe it’s really only good if you’re planning on drinking.”

16. Backlot Express

SCORE: 7.04

“Hidden Gem of Hollywood Studios”

“This is a good place to go if you are wanting the basic theme park food like burgers, chicken nuggets, etc. They also have some sandwiches and burgers you can only get there which is a nice way to switch up the usual cheeseburger. There is a decent amount of seating inside so it’s nice for a little break from the heat while eating. They also have a lot of seating outside. I got the pulled pork burger and it was very good. Someone else in my party got the Cuban sandwich and it was also very good. Is it the best quick service ever? No, but it is a nice place to cool off and get a bite to eat.”

“It’s your typical theme park food. Nothing crazy. The wookie cookie is the standout dish and is really good. Everything else is just ok, but there is food for pickey eaters.”

15. Roundup Rodeo BBQ

SCORE: 7.21

“I reviewed this when it first opened and am happy to say they have fixed the waiting issue. We were in and out of there quickly. We were not rushed out or anything, but we don’t like to spend a lot of time eating. Food was good. Service was excellent and the theming is the best!!”

The atmosphere at Roundup Rodeo BBQ is amazing. If you have kids that love Toy Story, I think you definitely need to make a stop here. But be aware that the food is nothing special, with the exception of the biscuits (those things are amazing).”

“This restaurant lived up to my high expectations! We were SO excited to try this place since are all big Toy Story fans and it is not disappoint! The food was all you care to eat and delicious! We had the tots, the mac and cheese, the potato salad and the campfire veggies as our sides and they were phenomenal! I had heard it takes a long time to get the food, but folks need to remember that this is a sit down service restaurant, not a quick service. If you go in knowing this meal will be around an hour, you will LOVE IT! ”

14. PizzeRizzo

SCORE: 7.26

“Decent pizza. Much better than what you can get at the hotels on site. Low wait times, lots of seating, excellent air conditioning.”

“If you like school cafeteria pizza, you’re going to love this place. If you like your salads in a plastic drink cup from a Motel 6, you’re going to love this place. If it’s approaching lunch time and you just need something because you’re hangry and you don’t care what it is, you’ll love this place.
It’s really not that great.”

“I’ve seen so much hate for this location. But it does not deserve it! It s a great easy location with pizza and salad. If you’re hungry, this will fit the bill! I don’t think you can ever go wrong with pizza!”

13.  Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater Restaurant

SCORE: 7.27

“YThis restaurant is so cute!!! I go here for the atmosphere 100%. The food is alright, pretty average American food. They have good drinks and milkshakes. Sitting in the little cars watching the Disney cartoons is so cool! It feels like you’re eating at a drive in movie. The only downside is each row in the car only fits 2 people, so if you have an odd number group, one person has to sit alone.”

“I love eating at this restaurant. Mostly for the vibe not the food. I am not in any way saying the food is bad. I think the best way to describe it is safe. If you are not an adventurous eater or you have little ones in your party, there will be plenty of the basics for you to choose from. “

“Best restaurant ever!!!!”

12. Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge

SCORE: 7.33

“If you’re looking for the experience of the Brown Derby restaurant without the added time or reservation, this is the perfect place. They have a great menu, featuring the famous Cobb Salad, with a laid back atmosphere. The drinks are great, the service is great, highly recommend for smaller parties.”

“Went with some friends here. I have personally been a quite a few times. It is a nice lounge the Cast Members are very nice and Disney friendly. They both got two different types of Cobb Salads which they loved. I got the BLT Sliders. The Tomato Jam was to watery not really a jam but more of liquid sauce. But otherwise was good. Not worth the price in my opinion for two very small (Slider size) portions. But will be back again another day.”

“Poor service and food quality lacking.”

11. Woody’s Lunch Box

SCORE: 7.36

“I love the food and drink offerings at Woody’s Lunch Box. The BBQ Brisket Melt is delicious and the Grown-Up’s Lemonade is one of my favorite alcoholic beverages on property.”

“I can’t lie- I really liked everything I got here! The grilled cheese is a delicious lunch in Studios and I did enjoy the toaster tart for a quick handheld breakfast. It wasn’t very busy and was about to storm when I went so I was able to find a nice seat under an umbrella.”

“The food is great! A bit “basic” but not in a disappointing way. The theming is cute and fun. The biggest downfall is the lack of seating. On a hot Florida day the last thing you want is to be fighting over a cramped seat, sometimes even standing with only a light breeze from the fans cooling you down.”

10.  Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano

SCORE: 7.45

“Friendly and quick service. Cold A/C. Food was much better than expected. Had a wonderful pork chop with polenta and was still able to enjoy the rest of the day in the park. Nice seafood pasta dish as well. “

“Standard Italian, but with a nice atmosphere.”

“Went here with a party of four. Some of the best food that i had at disney world and i would recommend the meatballs. They were pretty quick with the food and even called us to our table 5 minutes early which was a bonus. The staff were all lovely and overall a very enjoyable meal.”

9. Trolley Car Cafe

SCORE: 7.76

“I am here for the Carrot Cake Cookie and that’s it. We’re Joffrey’s fans through and through but if I’m waiting in line for the cookie I’ll snag a coffee and that free cup of water to stay hydrated. Do yourself a favor and eat this cookie while standing near the Tower…it’s a whole vibe.”

“It is a Starbucks after all. I don’t come to the Disney parks to go to somewhere I can go a few miles from my home. The baristas were courteous & drinks were made well. But waiting in line to go to Starbucks made me feel like I was wasting my valuable park time. If I need a pick-me-up I’d probably try somewhere else next time.”

“It’s a Starbucks. They do have some different treats, but ultimately it is still just a Starbucks. We did have the carrot cake cookie which was easily shared and it was delicious but nothing particularly special.”

8. ABC Commissary

SCORE: 7.83

“Decent selection of choices, fairly quick to get your meal, plenty of indoor seating. Does the job when you have a packed day.”

“Great food with fantastic variety. It was quick and delicious. Very crowded though. I had the gumbo (seasonal item) and my wife had the chicken salad.”

“We had lunch here last week. Used mobile ordering and had virtually no wait. The buffalo chicken grilled cheese was excellent. DD had the mediterranean salad; it was huge and shared between the 3 of us. The side barley salad was a big hit with everyone. Refillable drinks is an added bonus.”

7. Disney Junior Play n’ Dine at Hollywood & Vine

SCORE: 7.93

“Even as two grown adults eating here for Disney Junior Play n Dine, it was so cute and so much fun. The characters interacted with us just as much as the kids! The food was actually really good for breakfast. Lots of options to choose from at the buffet and the cast member refilled my coffee at least 4 times, she was ON it! The cast member also checked on us multiple times to make sure we were having a great experience. Definitely worth stopping in. The characters were adorable even though I don’t have kids myself.”

“We are here with a large group on the dining plan. There were plenty of options and the food was good. The characters were wonderful and came around multiple times which allowed our kiddos to get up the nerve to interact.”

6. 50’s Prime Time Cafe

SCORE: 8.16

“The food was so much better than I thought it would be! I was just tagging along with a family friend for the atmosphere and the PB&J milkshakes, but everything was delicious! I had the meatloaf and really enjoyed it. Our waiter was amazing and we had a ton of fun after a long day.”

“The staff is incredible and totally play the part here. My kids thought it was hilarious when their mom got called out for putting her elbows on the table haha.”

“I love the theming of this restaurant. It feels like your in the 50s eating at your grandma’s house. The waiters are like your family and treat you like so. It’s so funny! You definitely go here for the experience. The food is pretty good, but not exceptional.”

5. Hollywood Brown Derby

SCORE: 8.16

“Food is very tasty especially for being at a park. Nice vacation dinner when wanting a nicer meal.”

“After many years of coming to WDW, we finally made it to the Brown Derby for a quiet dinner for 2. The theming and decorations are fabulous. It seems both busy and intimate at the same time.I went with the regular Cobb salad while my wife had the vegan shepherds pie. I was very pleased with the salad and there was plenty to fill me up. My wife found the pie to be “interesting” in a mostly good way. I think she would have preferred the original with lamb. We were given a slice of grapefruit cake gratis for having won a trivia contest and it was very good. The service was up to par. Cost was reasonable by Disney standards. We will definately return.”

“The food here is always top notch. I like that the menu changes about every 3-4 months! Nice break from the crowds to cool off.”

4. Anaheim Produce

SCORE: 8.33

“Great little stand and hardly ever crowded. Definitely recommend the Mango Pina Colada. My wife is not a big drinker; but she LOVED this drink.”

“One of the only places to get whole fruit in Hollywood Studios. A decent place to grab a light snack or slushy if you are already on Sunset Blvd. I just wish the apples and other whole fruit would be kept on ice so it is not warm when purchased.”

“When in need of a quick healthy snack this is where I go. Fresh fruit is available and reasonably priced. Had a banana, grapes, pickle & water for about $10. Healthy & light fare for a day in the park. Perfect place when you want to get the kids something other than the classic sugary/fatty foods from a theme park. Plus there’s plenty of seating in the shade. “

3. Hollywood Scoops

SCORE: 8.36

“This is a very popular place to grab some frozen treats but its worth the wait. Definitely grab a cone and head on over to Tower of terror and enjoy your nice cool ice cream while waiting in line. Really you cant go wrong with anything on the menu.”

“On a hot Florida day, this is a solid place to get something to cool down. The hand scooped ice cream while hearing people scream on Tower of Terror gives you a classic “I’m at Walt Disney World” feeling. The only thing I wish they had was more shaded seating. That ice cream melts fast!”

“I didn’t think it was incredible ice cream, but it definitely hit different during a hot day with busy crowds! Much better than just a Mickey ice cream bar. I wish there was better seating behind it, but with all of the quick services nearby it’s not impossible to find seating (you just may have to walk a bit). “

2. Docking Bay 7

SCORE: 8.61

“The food is good for a good price but the real treat is the theming! It’s a great atmosphere for quick service.”

“Of all the quick service places I ate on my trip, Docking Bay 7 is the one I would most likely return to. I felt immersed in the atmosphere of Galaxy’s Edge while dining here, and really enjoyed everything I ordered. I am very serious about being immersed. I found myself really feeling like I was in a galaxy far far away. Of all the parks and all the lands in the parks, I found myself having the easiest time suppressing my disbelief and buying into the story that was being told while I sat eating at Docking Bay 7. And I am not a Star Wars fan.”

“I love this restaurant! I always get the Felucian Kefta and Hummus Spread, and it is delicious! I am actually craving it now. It is a light and simple meal to have in the parks, especially on a warm or super hot day. I also love that it is plant based.”

1. BaseLine Tap House

SCORE: 9.00

“The pretzel, charcuterie, and beer selections are all top notch. The price point for the snacks is great too. You get a good bang for your buck, and it is always welcome to have a solid savory snack option a DHS. “

“BaseLine Tap House is the one of best quick services in Hollywood Studios. I always get the charcuterie board and warm pretzel with beer cheese. It is SO good and I always find myself coming back! The one real downside is the seating situation- there’s not a lot of indoor seating and the outdoor tables fill up fast. Make sure to get there before peak times to get an indoor table. “
