It goes without saying that at Disney Springs restaurants are not lacking, and there are many you can visit without a reservation! They aren’t all quick service dining locations! Check out my Disney Springs restaurant recommendations for when you can’t snag a reservation or just want to enjoy a spontaneous meal.
Table Service Restaurants
Reservations are normally needed for table service restaurants at Walt Disney World. I compare that 60 day dining window opening to a runDisney event! However it is possible to eat a relaxing meal sitting down from start to finish without a reservation at these Disney Spring restaurants!
Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’
Homecomin’ is my all time favorite Disney Springs restaurant. I love that dining reservations aren’t required to enjoy all the delish farm-to-fork offerings. I find that Homecomin’ holds back quite a bit of seating for walk-ups so if you can’t snag a reservation, not all is lost. Swing by and check at the check-in podium to get on the walk-up list or find a seat at the bar. The service here is top notch and anything I have tried on the menu has been mouth-watering. The Homecomin’ staff is really great about customizing dishes and swapping meats out for something else you would prefer. Art Smith is certainly famous for his fried chicken but you will see much more on the menu.
City Works Eatery & Pour House
Head over to the West Side of Disney Springs to City Works Eatery & Pour House, where everyone in your party will be able to find something to eat. The menu includes classic American Foods like Soups, Salads, Buffalo Chicken Dip, Kung Pao Cauliflower, Ahi Tuna Tacos, Filet Sliders, burgers, and features over 90 local and global varities of beers on tap! While reservations are recommended, I find it easy to be seated via walk-up. There is plenty of indoor seating and an outside patio – perfect for people watching.
Splitsville Dining Room
Splitsville is most likely not the first place that comes to your mind when you are looking for somewhere to eat. However their food is delicious and you don’t need to bowl to eat here! My family has always had luck just walking up for a table with a very minimal wait if any. Surprisingly their sushi is one of my favorite things on their menu. Aside from sushi the menu includes, pizza, burgers, tacos, poke bowls and much more! Afterwards, enjoy a sundae or the Table Side Root Beer Float for dessert!
Quick Service Restaurants
Disney Springs does a great job offering guests a variety of dining options. Sometimes you just need something quick without having to wait for a table. You will find plenty of quick service Disney Springs restaurants to choose from. Some locations are even a hybrid – you order at the counter, find a seat and your food is delivered to you. This is a lifesaver if you have kids with you or don’t want to deal with maneuvering around tables with a tray of food. Check out a few of my recommendations below.
eet by Maneet Chauhan
Celebrity Chef Maneet Chauhan brought Disney Springs it’s only Indian-inspired cuisine resturant named eet! It’s a quick service restaurant so neither reservations nor walk-up lists are involved! Once you place your order head to a table and your food will be delivered to you. The dishes are shareable. You can get Bread Service, build your own kabob bowls, fresh salads and shareables. The kids menu includes naan pizza, Hawaiian roll sliders and chicken fingers. For dessert make sure you try the Chocolate Strawberry Naan or the Gulub Jaman Cheesecake – yumm. There is something everyone in your party will find delicious to eet ?
The Polite Pig
When you come down the escalator from the lime garage you are greeted with the savory smells of The Polite Pig. This Quick Service dining location is family run by Orlando locals! The menu includes sandwiches, salads, shareables and platters that are smoked to perfection. All of the drinks are served on tap including cocktails. If you are a bourbon fan you will want to visit this restaurant. They have over 90 whiskeys which include hard-to-find varieties.
Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza
At Blaze you can customize any of their signature pizzas or create your own! If you aren’t into pizza there are salads and sides you can choose from too. Some of the toppings include, Fresh Mozzarella, Vegan Cheese, Meatballs, Vegan Spicy Chorizo and Grilled Chicken. You can choose from a variety of veggies, like artichokes, fresh basil, jalapenos, spinach and pineapple. There are five pizza dough options to choose from, including keto, vegan, cauliflower and gluten-free dough. Their blood orange lemonade on tap is so refreshing, especially on a hot day and it’s all you can drink!
On your next visit take some time while you are visiting Walt Disney World and check out the Disney Springs restaurants. Disney Springs is undoubtedly the place to visit for dining, especially if you don’t have any advanced dining reservations.
