New Roundup Rodeo BBQ sit-down restaurant coming to TSL

[J4546]

nice to finally get a walkthrough! looks like a fun place kids will like and hopefully has good food

Disney has also shared a full video tour inside Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

IMHO, not as bad as I thought. The lighting makes it a lot more bearable.

Once again, that looks like an aggressively unpleasant place to spend 60+ minutes for a table service meal.

I think it would be just fine as a QS location.

Par for the course with Hollywood Studios table service, IMO.

I disagree that it’s comparable to Dinoland. Dinoland is simply mundane, a facsimile of something most people see as tawdry and cheap. Experiencing toys from the perspective of a toy, on the other hand, isn’t a droll theme, but some of the execution is questionable. The designers didn’t have to resort to taped-together cardboard boxes for the exterior here.

I don't think you're really disagreeing with him -- his comment, at least to me, read that choosing to make it a cardboard box was the flaw, not that the whole idea behind TSL was a flaw.

I actually like the themed settings of both Sci-Fi and 50s Prime Time -- I just don't think the food at either is good.

That said, they both might be be better as QS locations. I'd never really thought about it until just now.

I've never been to the Brown Derby but I assume it's the exception based on photos.

I guess my point was that, within the context of the land, there were many design options that might have produced a more attractive and compelling facade, whereas anything that falls under the overarching theme of Dinoland is kind of stuck being what’s already there.

Fair enough.

I agree that the whole theme of Dinoland was a bad idea, even though the execution of that idea is quite good IMO. Toy Story Land has the opposite problem, where the idea itself seems fine, but the execution is really poor.

It looks good empty, but really wondering how this is going to be when its full of guests and servers.

It looks like it will be very loud, but that's probably to be expected at a Toy Story themed restaurant.

Like eating in the queue of Toy Story Mania. Hopefully it isn't.

I was lucky enough to find some of that “specially sourced” pasta that the Rodeo Roundup is using for their springy Mac and cheese!

 

[Disney Analyst]

I think it looks pretty darn cute, families will love it.

Is it my sort of... aesthetic? No. But it's fun.

 

[SaucyBoy]

Looks as ugly as the rest of the land, but we knew that. Fortunately this is something I can avoid in May.

I kiiind of hate both, but I'm probably just not the target audience. At this point, I really just avoid any TS at HS, especially with EPCOT being a gondola ride away.

Madness, I'm sure, but I can't think of many dining experiences within the parks themselves lately that haven't been unless I've gone somewhere somewhat dead like Coral Reef. Dining back at the hotels feels much more tolerable lately.

If anyone ever said to themselves "I love the Toy Story Mania queue so much, I just want to sit down right there and and eat some meat and pasta" this is the place for them.

This is what I'm thinking, the setting/theme and target demographic for this place, might be too loud and crazy for me. I'm sure families with small children will enjoy it. The food looks good.

I won't allow myself to get excited over yet another overpriced, mass produced meat and pasta dining location.

The decor is silly (okay, it's toy story land, forgiven)
The food in disney's own promo video looked grey and unappetizing.
The dining area seems like it's going to be excessively loud with children.
Even the jar/pie deserts look like they found yet another way to cheap out on the food and make it easier to mass produce.

Pretty sure those are sous vide in which case, I wouldn't necessarily say cheapened out but definitely easier to mass produce in single servings.

I make a mean multiple single-serving sous vide cheesecake that basically would look perfectly at home next to these in the same mason-jar like containers.

I'm kind of on the same page. It's not for me, but I suspect it will be very popular and a lot of people will love the theme.

This place looks like it will be great for families/kids. I love the Bo Peep side of the restaurant.
I have no interest in this place at all but since I'm finally going to be an uncle maybe in a few years I'll check it out.
If it was Pizza Planet instead, I would have been in there in a heartbeat kids or no kids.
