ESPN at the boardwalk

[Figaro928]

Are they only open for lunch? Not seeing any dinner hours. Is it possible to eat there for dinner?

 

[Hockey89]

Yes and yes, but the food sucks

 

[Figaro928]

wait... is it only open for lunch or is it possible to eat there for dinner? Either/or - can't be both.

I figure the food is TGIF's quality, not really looking for gourmet

Yep it us lunch and diner, and you are right with it being like TGI.

The food has gotten better over the years, but it's still probably only a 6 or so.

Apps are good. Main courses are meh.

Beer selection has improved over the years.

If there is not a major game on for a major franchise, you can usually walk up at non-peak times.

Any reason why one can't make reservations there? Correct to assume its only walk up?

Yep walk up only.

Ya food isn't very good there. Went there once for lunch, I wouldn't go back unless there was a sports event I couldn't miss while there.

 

[NiarrNDisney]

Yes its a sports bar and the food is predictable (like Buffalo Wild Wings, Champs, TGIFriday's) But
honestly it is not a bad place to sit back have a few rounds, some appetizers and watch a game!

 

[lunchbox1175]

The majority of restaurants that are not run by Disney don't have reservations available on the site, but you can usually call and get one.

We go there every visit! The food is average but the staff is friendly and fun. If you are solo it's a great place to eat at the bar!

I had the nachos a few years ago now, they were enjoyable. Not mind blowing but enjoyable.

The My Disney Experience app is now showing the dinner time & menu as well as the lunch.

As far as the food - it's bar food as people have stated, and I agree they have updated/upgraded the beer selection. I don't think it's really worth having the family meal there, it's more for watching sports while drinking beer and eating bar food. We stay at the Boardwalk Villas for a few weeks, and we always show up some time at ESPN club.

Is the food similar to the ESPNZone that used to be in Manhattan? I ate there once, and had a pretty good burger.

 

[Matt_Black]

The list of burgers they have always intrigued me. I especially have a morbid curiosity regarding the PB&J burger.

 

[Texas84]

It's good bar food. Not a good place for food snobs.

 

[Matt_Black]

Well, now, I don't think there was any question about that. Certainly, one does not equate ESPN with gourmet cuisine.

Though, admittedly, they DO have a world-renowned chef on staff....

They are open from 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 a.m. (but you can only get drinks in the last hour). The menu is the same for lunch and dinner. Are you sure you can't make a reservation? Did you try calling the restaurant directly?
