News Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue replacing Liberty Inn

[UNCgolf]

I'm comparing it to other WDW counter service. By that standard it's an A+. But yeah, I think I enjoyed Docking Bay 7 ribs more now that you mention it.

I don't know about that; EPCOT has some pretty good counter service in the World Showcase. Also there are several excellent counter service places at Disney Springs -- I will never believe Regal Eagle is anywhere near as good as Polite Pig for counter service BBQ unless I experience it myself. You may not be counting Disney Springs as part of WDW though if you meant just inside the parks themselves.

Polite pig is much better but that is not owned by Disney ,it is owned by a local family in winter park ,they have a few other restaurants but those are table service.

Which reminds me, is there a good place for BBQ offsite near WDW? My family has always enjoyed eating offsite far more than at WDW venues. Mostly for better variety and better value.

Depends how far out you want to go,4 rivers is great imo .

I’ve only been to docking bay twice and had gritty gross ribs. That could have been a one off and since everyone raves about it I’ll likely give it another go.

Same. Got the ribs at Docking Bay 7 once and they were just awful. It was all fat and rubbery.

Yeah I know, but he didn't specify Disney owned; he just said at WDW -- most of the restaurants at Disney aren't operated by Disney anyways.

I've got to try Polite Pig one of these days.

Brisket sandwich was good. I like the garlic toast “bun”. The spicy mop sauce wasn’t too spicy, good flavor. We also liked the smokehouse sauce as well.

The 3-meat platter was very disappointing. Small portions, too small for the price.

H and I were thinking of maybe sharing one of these, guess not!

Don't go in expecting some of the best BBQ you've ever had -- it's not at that level. It is quite excellent for Disney, though.
