DHS New Roundup Rodeo BBQ sit-down restaurant coming to TSL

[ToTBellHop]

Sure, but I wonder what the prices will end up being (especially compared to character meals). Have they indicated the price?

No, but it is not hard to guess since there are other locations that do the same thing. $40s adults; $20s kids.

There's no way that Andy would eat portions that large. It takes me out of the theme of Toy Story Land.

To be fair, the photos were taken on a toy-sized camera. In reality the entire spread could fit in the palm of Andy's hand.

This food looks great imo, hope the inside is cool too!

 

[buckeyegator]

wonder if they tie it to fantasmic?

I was pleasantly surprised and excited to see that there were multiple plant-based "meat" offerings! Usually there's only one (looking at you, le Cellier)! The food sounded really good by description, of course, who knows about execution! I'm really excited to try and get reservations for this for our trip this fall. Of course, I've said that about Space 220, and still haven't been able to get in there yet!

Ribs come from pigs that once lived. Despite what 9/10 Americans believe, there is no pork tree (but there is a burger bush).

Reminds me of the story about the person who is 100% against hunting and asked, with a straight face, why people couldn't just get their meat from a grocery store, "where no animals have been harmed."

Ummm...

Have you ever noticed a distinct lack of an animated short that used to be ubiquitous in the castle parks?

Not that this means they shouldn't have it (they already have other BBQ locations in the parks, obviously), but there's basically no chance this is even 50% as good as Polite Pig, so it's hard to imagine me ever wanting to eat here -- the concept art of the interior doesn't help either. If I'm craving BBQ I'll just go to Disney Springs.

No pulled pork is enough to deter me.

The BBQ on offer seems… chewy.

Do you just eat signature restaurants in the parks then.? Because everything else will be found to be better at DS.

We don't eat in the parks too much other than snacks (and at EPCOT). Like you said, the food is generally better across the board at DS and is cheaper too. Even the QS locations (like Polite Pig) are better than most of the TS restaurants in the parks. I do like going to some of the themed restaurants in the parks, but the Roundup Rodeo theming (at least based on concept art) would actually make me less likely to eat there instead of more likely.

why on earth do people care about drawings on a wall in a restaraunt?i go to eat, not critique art work.

Theming is a major part of the experience at Disney (in every way; not solely restaurants), especially considering the food is generally mediocre. Without decent theming, there's no reason for me to eat at Roundup Rodeo when I can pay less money for a much better version of that food at Disney Springs.

Why would you knowingly choose to pay more money for worse quality food without some other differentiating factor?

It’s in a theme park, not a Denny’s.

So if homecoming in DS had 3rd grade drawings you would not eat there,?

That would be awesome imo.

False comparison.

Homecoming isn't in a theme park, for one, so I'm not looking for theme. Plus, the food there is good. There's like a 99% chance that the BBQ will be worse at Roundup Rodeo than Polite Pig despite costing more.

If Roundup Rodeo had great theming that can function as a draw to help make up for the cost/quality difference, but if it doesn't, why would I want to pay more for worse food?
