Did I read the new restaurant in HS in Toy Story land is going to serve BBQ?

I think you're right. Fairfax Fare in marginally BBQ now. The new restaurant is Roundup Rodeo BBQ. So no second guessing on the theme there.

I might just swing by the walk in counter tomorrow.

That's quite a hop. Wait for a boat going, wait for a boat coming back, then an enjoyable stroll back through security and getting scanned back into the park ...

To be fair, Disney turned it into that, but it wasn't always that way. Liberty Inn used to be one of the better quick service locations before it switched its menu (more than once too).
I'd argue though that this is still better than Liberty Inn, even at its peak. I love BBQ though, so I might be biased.

You know what's funny?
Truth. I go through almost a whole roll myself when eating BBQ.

Pretty sure diamond is always open now that they went to their family style table service set up.

This looks like a solid upgrade and great concept - I hope everyone enjoys. That said, is anyone else disappointed with the menu?
I skew toward a low-carb way of eating (even on vacation now), and a BBQ spot should be right up my alley—but not when everything is laden with sweet sauces, dried fruit (on the salad), and starchy sides.
I know that's how many regions prefer it, but would it have been difficult to offer Texas-style brisket à la carte, some green beans, chicken that isn't sweet, or a salad that isn't sugary?
Not trying to be unreasonable, but low-carb/ketogenic lifestyles have become much more common lately, and I'm surprised a meat-focused venue opening in 2020 could completely miss that.

Just in case you missed what's been going on the last few years, and I mean this sincerely and without malice... The original intent of "World Showcase" is dead.
Mourn, grieve, do what you need. But the parks moved into a new era/direction and we either have to accept it or not attend the park and show them how we feel with our dollars.
I personally don't mind the bending of real with fiction.

I have accepted it and I am mourning it and I think the relative rarity of my posts these days reflects that, I even wrote what I consider an obituary for Epcot.

I am sorry for your loss.

I like what they did with this place. Much more fitting for the pavilion - the wooden tables, brick walls, patriotic streamers - I think it has good character. It reminds me of a fourth of July barbecue.
Food also looks like a big upgrade over the standard burgers and chicken nuggets

Thanks for the clarification. That is indeed what I meant to say.

I think that's the part that feels jarring (and a bit the same for Frozen Ever After). These insertions don't even feel true to the characters. It's a very superficial use that sort of missed the mark on who the characters are. But, I know the masses will love it... Mourn Epcot dead... Yadda... Yadda...
Except for that perceived shoe horn, I think it's a great add, and BBQ is a great idea for this space - which I've thought since they first introduced it at Flower and Garden years ago.
