Could be. This was the most recent menu on WDWMagic's dining section.
Pecos burgers are practically inedible. Why on earth these are sacrosant to so many comes back to the mental piece. You associate being at Pecos Bills with good memories, and somehow, you remember the burger being better than it is...
It's obviously nostalgia. If you took that burger and tried to serve it at Five Guys, people would demand a refund.
If that were the case then there would be plenty of reason to keep Tortuga Tavern open longer and more often. Additional crowding would also be a negative for the guest experience, as it would only show that guests will tolerate even longer lines and crowding at quick service restaurants resulting in continued disinterest in addressing the lack of capacity.
There IS plenty reason to keep Tortuga open. They just don't. MK counter service hasn't made sense for about 20 years.
No one said there will be no burgers in MK. But they ARE taking away the only other place to get a burger in MK. And given that burgers are always going to be a popular choice for ease and familiarity for many guests, taking away the only other place to get a QS burger in the single busiest park in the world - especially leaving only one, already overcrowded place at the other end of the park - is a bit shortsighted of a move. Especially when there are shuttered or seasonal QS locations which could easily offer more unique/different/expanded options much easier. Simple fact is that Pecos is almost always busy. People clearly are ok eating the current menu there. You simply can't act like it's a ghost town or that no one likes the burgers there because clearly people do.
I completely agree. My dad and I always had a BBQ sandwich there while we watched the parade. I remember thinking each and every time that the sandwich was really not that great but sharing that time with my dad made it incredible. So although I will miss the BBQ for that reason, and definitely not because it was delicious(especially since Flame Tree came along) I am excited about the new menu. MK always needed more variety and I think this change along with BOG, Gaston's pork shank, waffle sandwiches at Sleepy Hollow and of course CHH they are accomplishing that goal. That's just to name a few because there really is a lot of unique quick service now at MK. We loved the pot roast mac and cheese I just can't remember where we got it. I do wish the TT would stay open. The noodle station was really unique for a theme park but I think that seating area is much more valuable to them as a dessert party location.
