When visitors think of Disney Springs, often shopping comes to mind. Disney Springs isn’t just a shopping hub—it’s a destination for delicious dining. With a varied lineup of table service restaurants offering everything from steaks to fresh seafood and international cuisine, it’s the perfect place to sit down and enjoy a memorable meal.
Whether you’re craving Southern comfort food, upscale dining, or something in between, Disney Springs has a spot for every palate. In this guide, we’ll take you through the best table service restaurants Disney Springs has to offer, highlighting their standout dishes, atmosphere, and why they deserve a spot on your must-visit list.
For those who like a lazy weekend meal during their theme park vacation, there are a number of eateries at Disney Springs that offer weekend brunch menus. Each offers a unique menu with a variety of breakfast and lunch options.
For the purposes of this blog, we are going to focus on table service venues, however there are also a variety of delicious quick service eateries to explore for those who are looking for something without a reservation.
Now on to the main attractions. While Disney Springs table service restaurants are all available to reserve via the My Disney Experience app, because they are not all Disney owned venues, some are also bookable via the Open Table app as well. If you are looking to dine and nothing comes up, give Open Table a try. Currently Summer House, Splitsville, STK Orlando, Morimoto Asia, The Boathouse, Jaleo and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill are all among the Open Table Options.
Five Options Worth a Try
Splitsville Dining Room
Yes, this is a bowling alley. But it’s so much more. Splitsville does offer bowling but there is also a delicious restaurant, an outdoor dining area and bar, and a walk-up bar area. While I wouldn’t normally say, “Try the sushi” at a bowling alley, this is an exception. The sushi options are delicious. But there is a little something for everyone. There are delicious burgers, pizza, salads and poke bowls.
Occasionally there are specials, too! We were able to get a holiday turkey sandwich around Thanksgiving that was good enough to warrant a second visit. Splitsville also has dining on two stories, so they just might be able to accommodate your larger party or walk in a little easier than some other venues.
Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill
This is probably one of the less flashy options at Disney Springs. The décor isn’t fancy, but the menu makes up for it. Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill is a laid back, California vibe with very fresh and flavorful food.
The bruschetta is one of my favorite appetizers at Walt Disney World. But all the options are amazing. The portions aren’t always huge, but they are adequate. There is even a woodfired pizza option. If you are visiting on the weekend, there is a delicious brunch menu worth a look.
Summer House on the Lake
One of the newer table service options at Disney Springs, Summer House on the Lake is a chain, although there are only four other locations around the country.
The guacamole is highly sharable and, although pricy, is quite delicious and plenty for a group. The menu features elevated versions of pizza, tacos, handhelds and summer-inspired entrees.
One of my favorite things about this venue is that almost everything on the menu can be modified to be gluten free. There is a dedicated frier for those who need it, too. This is a wonderful option for those who have a gluten free need.
And don’t miss the cookie bar. It’s a great place to stop even if you aren’t dining in the restaurant. The cookies are large and quite yummy.
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Another celebrity chef offers a unique dining experience. The menu at Homecomin’ is all southern comfort food. For the adult guests, there are quite a few unique cocktails, most notably moonshine craft cocktails.
This is one of the harder restaurants to get a reservation. Be prepared to book this one as soon as possible and keep looking. However they will accept walk-up guests, so you can always top by and try your luck at the list.
The portions are ample, and you won’t leave hungry. The deviled eggs appetizer is delicious and well worth a share. While every entrée is delicious, for those who crave sides, the Kitchen Plate lets you make a meal of those with a selection of three options (but you must narrow it down to three!).
Homecomin’ also has a delicious brunch menu on the weekends.
The Boathouse
This is a definite fan favorite! A mix of casual and upscale, The Boathouse is themed to just that – a boathouse. There is seating inside, outside and even in a few booths themed as boats. The Boathouse offers a waterfront dining experience with fresh oysters, Maine lobster, and expertly prepared steaks. The popularity makes the reservations popular, but not impossible. It’s a very busy and bustling location.
While seafood is the star of the show (that calamari appetizer is delicious), the restaurant is managed by Gibsons Restaurant Group of Gibsons Steakhouse fame. Gibsons Steakhouse in Chicago attracts a who’s who list of patrons and serves USDA Certified Prime Angus Beef that’s grain-fed and aged. With this pedigree, you know that the steak options at The Boathouse are also top-tier offerings.
One of the most unique aspects of The Boathouse is its fleet of vintage Amphicars, which allow guests to take a guided ride on the water in a classic car-boat hybrid. And don’t forget to visit the charming Boathouse Boatique for a unique souvenir.
And so much more!
