Review! We Tried the New Fried Fish Sandwich at Wine Bar George in Disney World!

Post date July 1, 2020

From iced beverages to chicken wings, we’ve been tasting our way around new menu items at Disney Springs!

Wine Bar George

And when we saw a new addition to the menu at Wine Bar George, we had to swing by to give it a try!

So, what’s the new addition?? Wine Bar George is now offering a Fried Fish Sandwich! Served on a brioche bun, this sandwich includes pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and gribiche sauce. It also comes with a side of fries.

We thought the fish itself was AMAZING! The breading is light and buttery and the fish is tender and flaky. Sliced, unripe tomatoes line the bottom of the sandwich while fresh grape tomatoes lie on top.

The gribiche sauce was super tangy, and we would say it’s an acquired taste — it definitely added a lot of flavor to the sandwich! And the pickles paired well with the sauce! We did notice that the sandwich was really messy to eat.

Eating it can get a little messy…

The fries were also delicious! Generously salted and spiced, they were a filling addition to the meal. You can snag this sandwich for $16 at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs.

Are you excited to try the new Fried Fish Sandwich? Let us know in the comments!

Are Disney World Buffets Changing It Up? Here’s What We Know.

Post date June 18, 2020

Select Disney World hotels are getting ready to welcome back guests next week and the theme parks are gearing up for their July 11th and July 15th grand reopenings!

Magic Kingdom

And according to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page, we’ve just learned of a few more groups of restaurant Cast Members that are being asked to return to work.

We’ve been combing over this list of restaurants, and picking out a few areas of interest. First, we noted Epcot’s Festival Cast Members were being asked to return — although Disney hasn’t released any official information about the Epcot festivals yet.

Disney World

Also, Be Our Guest Restaurant’s Cast Members are getting recalled — but potentially only for its table service dinner option at this time. Will its fast-casual breakfast and lunch be temporarily discontinued? We’ll have to await the official word from Disney World regarding the status of this restaurant, but we’ll be super-curious until we learn more!

Be Our Guest Ballroom

But that’s not all we found out today, we also spotted a sidenote which read, “Family Style” next to Biergarten Restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase and Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! This may be an indication that these restaurants will be offering platefuls of help-yourself offerings instead of their standard serve-yourself buffets for the time being.

Chef Mickey’s

Based on what has been shared, Cast Members at other restaurants such as Magic Kingdom’s Crystal Palace or Animal Kingdom’s Tusker House Restaurant have NOT been called back yet. So we don’t know Disney’s plans for these buffet locations just yet.

Buffet at Crystal Palace

And keep in mind, while Chef Mickey’s normally offers character dining Disney has shared that character dining will be unavailable for the time being, and at this time the only confirmed character meal that’s returning is Topolino Terrace’s breakfast which you can learn more about here.

What do you think about the possibility of some Disney World buffets switching over to family-style? Let us know if you’d still dine at one of these restaurants in the comments below!

Is Be Our Guest Restaurant in Disney World Canceling Their Quick Service Offering for the Time Being?

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 18, 2020

According to a recent post on Unite Here Local 737’s Facebook page (one of the largest unions of Disney World Cast Members) another wave of callbacks for food and beverage workers has just begun!

Be Our Guest Sign

And we’re picking out a few particularly tasty tidbits of information from the “teams” Disney World is asking to return to work!

So far, we mentioned that Epcot Festival Cast Members have started receiving callbacks. Whether this means we’re likely to see Epcot’s Festivals resume when the parks reopen or not — it’s still too soon to tell. But another interesting thing we noticed is that Be Our Guest Restaurant Cast Members are being asked to return — but only for Table Service!

Be Our Guest

This hard-to-get-into Magic Kingdom spot opened in New Fantasyland back in 2012. Due to its popularity (and often needing to obtain an advance reservation for dinner 180 days earlier), Disney began offering a quick-service breakfast and lunch option.

Breakfast at Be Our Guest

Both are unique in that you can still make an advance dining reservation for either breakfast or lunch. Guests can also pre-order breakfast and lunch using the My Disney Experience app.

Dine In The Beast’s Castle!

However, since Disney is only recalling its staff for its sit down dinners, we’re wondering if Be Our Guest Restaurant will resume their fast-casual breakfast and lunch offerings — or if they’ll be postponing them for the time being? Either way, it is very interesting that the union specifically listed is as “Be Our Guest (TSR only – no QSR).”

Grand Ballroom at Be Our Guest

While we’ll be awaiting the official world from Disney regarding the status of Be Our Guest Restaurant we do know the restaurant will be one of the locations using the new Mobile Dine Check-In feature on the My Disney Experience app which you can learn more about here.

This NEW Burger Joint Has Reopened in Disney Springs!

Post date June 10, 2020

While we’ve been surprised to find so many locations have reopened at Disney Springs today, we already knew City Works Eatery & Pour House was planning on welcoming folks back this afternoon!

City Works

That’s why we made a lunch reservation to scope the place out on the first day of its grand reopening! Come check out the upscale sports-bar-meets-restaurant with us!

City Works Eatery & Pour House had only been open for just over a month before the Disney Springs shut down. The place was pretty packed last time we dined here, but today we didn’t even need our reservation to be seated!

City Works

Instead of reconfiguring its furniture, City Walks is using signs to block off certain tables so that guests can maintain social distancing while they dine!

City Works

We also noticed a whole lotta cleaning going on! As we’ve seen at other newly reopened restaurants, condiments, napkins, glassware, and cutlery are no longer being left out on the tables.

City Works

City Works has reopened with a limited menu and they’re using single-use paper menus for the time being.

City Works

Their current beer selection is available online and we were told they’re working on getting their Weekday Happy Hour and Rock N’Roll Brunch (featuring our the musical stylings of a certain Jon Bun Jovi) back up and running soon!

City Works

We’ll be back with a review of the meal we’re about to be munching on at City Works very shortly so stay put! In the meantime, check out where we scored this basket of mini ice cream cones here!

Did you get the chance to check out City Works for the brief time it was open before the closures? Let us know in the comments below!
