Diamond Horseshoe shares its kitchen with Liberty Tree and serves the same food.
Wild. Simply wild. It feels almost weirder than Columbia Harbour House food coming out of Tomorrowland Terrace.
I know the Patriot Platter is involved in getting it together, but they run Pecos Bill's and Tortuga Tavern through the same kitchen. They can't even muster turkey and pork sandwiches with cups of mac and cheese and potatoes and vegetables for sides?
So, while I agree that MK needs for QSR, I am really excited about having a Pirates bar in the park. Oga's and Trader Sam's are both fun places to hang out - and I'm not even that big of a drinker - and I definitely think a Pirate concept in that vein would be cool.
Would be nice if they end up using the Pirate League space for something though. And opening up other QSR elsewhere. Someone mentioned that not having something in the Circus area was a miss and I agree as there was definitely space there and could easily have traditional fast food that fit the theme.
And return BOG to a quick serve lunch. And open up Tommorrowland Terrace. And Aunt Polly's.
Tomorrowland Terrace, for being in the center of the park, is kinda also in no-man's-land like Tortuga. Everyone could easily go about their day without coming within hundreds of feet of it or laying eyes on it. Of course, if it had unique and popular options, it could draw people in. Perhaps some manner of signage from the Tomorrowland side. I could have sworn that one of the attractions let out in Tomorrowland Terrace, but I can't find any evidence thereof. Perhaps I'm mixing up parks.
Aunt Polly's is paradoxical. It's the most remote restaurant but it's also a place that is so remote that for those on the island, you want them to have options. I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Last time I went there, there were two vending machines next to a downspout with a drowned dead rat sitting at the bottom of it.
Perhaps it could function as something between Counter Service and vending machines. A simple cart-like menu. A special unique treat or two where one person can run a fryer and one person can run the window bolstered by a cooler of drinks, apple slices, and Uncrustables. I can't really think of anything at the moment besides hush puppies, but I'm sure there's a number of lovely Southern delicacies that can be enjoyed, serve the people, and if they are good enough to garner a following and actually drive traffic, then expansion is possible.
reaction right now.
