I finally had the chance to try the
Regal Eagle Smokehouse in the
American Adventure Pavilion at
EPCOT yesterday and I really enjoyed it. At the moment, it looks like you have to use the Mobile Order system in the Disney World app, but its actually pretty easy. And you don't have to pay with a credit card, you can also use a Disney Giftcard or even Dining Plan credits.
After ordering, head to the restaurant and check in so they'll start preparing your order. An alert will appear when your order is ready, telling you where to pick it up. Give your name to the cast member at the door, and they'll let you go in.
The menu has really changed from the years when this location was the Liberty Inn, as has the decor.
Muppet Sam Eagle is now the proprietor and he's hosting a barbecue cook-off. The menu is made up of regional barbecue favorites, from chicken or pork butt, to mac and cheese or baked beans. The walls are covered in awards and artwork, some featuring various Muppets.
I tried the Kansas City Smoked Half-Chicken with Sizzlin' Pit sauce, garlic toast and mac and cheese as the side. At $13.99, it's not too pricey, and the portions are fairly large, so this is a great meal to share. The chicken was tender and well cooked and the mac and cheese was cheesy and delicious. And the sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and savory.
Here's the rest of the menu. I can't wait to try it all!
