Review: Is Chicken Guy! at Disney Springs As Good As We Remember?!

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 8, 2020

Ever since Disney Springs reopened on May 20, we’ve been eating our way around Walt Disney World‘s shopping district.

Disney Springs

There are a lot of GREAT places around Disney Springs to get a quick, budget-friendly, and super satisfying bite to eat. In the past few weeks, we’ve eaten at Cookes of Dublin, D-Luxe Burger, Morimoto Asia Street Food, and tons of other spots. And recently, we got to grab a lil lunch at one of Disney Springs’ most POPULAR quick service spots!

Oh yeah, baby!! We’re talking about Chicken Guy!!

Atmosphere

Like other spots around Disney Springs, Chicken Guy! has implemented new health and safety measures upon reopening. When we ate there on opening day, we noticed markers indicating where guests could stand out front. Look at those little chicken feet!!

In addition to a limited number of customers allowed inside at one time, there are also plexiglass shields at each cash register and in front of where the food is made, and single-use paper menus.

And if you’re a refill fan, know the self-serve beverage machine is manned by a server.

Getting your food to go? Here’s EVERYTHING you need to know about eating outside of restaurants at Disney Springs.

Eats

For our quick meal, we chose to get the Big Bite B.L.A.T. For $6.99, you get two chicken tenders, bacon, lettuce, avocado crema, tomatoes, and buttermilk ranch on a bun.

The Big Bite B.L.A.T. at Chicken Guy!

This sandwich is loaded but sooooo darn good. And it’s huge, especially for the price! The bacon is crispy but not too crispy and perfectly smoked. The chicken tenders have a golden crispy coating, but the meat itself is moist, which is a pretty ideal situation.

To go with our chicken sandwich, we got Chicken Guy Fries and American Slaw, each of which cost $2.99.

The star side was the American Slaw. Mayo fans may be disappointed, but we found there wasn’t too much dressing on the slaw, making it taste fresh and crispy.

Nosh or Not

Cluck on over to Chicken Guy if:

You’re looking for a budget-friendly and FILLING meal.
You love chicken tendies! And SAUCE!
You want to grab a bite to eat quickly in the middle of a busy shopping day at Disney Springs!

Flock elsewhere if:

You want a dedicated indoor dining experience. Chicken Guy! doesn’t have much indoor seating atm, though they’re supposed to be working on that!
You want a more refined, formal dining experience.
You’re not a fan of chicken.

Overall

We’ve been BIG fans of Chicken Guy! since day one, and it’s one of the more affordable dining options at Disney Springs, especially when you consider the size of the portions. Upon Disney Springs’ reopening, we’re pleased that this quick service spot is still as solid as ever. It’s a good option for big families with picky eaters and the adventurous eater who wants to experiment with the 22 different sauces!

NEWS: Amorette’s Patisserie Reopened in Disney World Today

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date June 5, 2020

While some Disney-owned businesses have reopened at Disney Springs including The Daily Poutine, B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co., and more recently Once Upon a Toy, we can now add Amorette’s Patisserie to the list!

Amorette’s

We noticed the bakery was finally open today, so we walked on over to check it out!

According to the Cast Member we spoke with, Amorette’s full menu isn’t quite available yet, but they’re hoping to be able to offer all of their items (including sammies) by this Sunday once they get up to speed!

Get the latest scoop on what’s new at Disney Springs here!

Amorette’s Bakery Case

There aren’t any new menu items since we last visited Amorette’s Patisserie back in March. In fact, we spotted an item that’s been around since Valentine’s Day — which we’ll get to in a sec!

Amorette’s Menu

We were happy to see there Wine Slushy machines were up and runnin’ today tho! Hello Shiraz and Moscato!

Wine Slushy Machines

In the dining area, the tables have been moved further apart while social distancing markers on the ground show guests where they should stand while ordering at the counter.

Amorette’s

We also noticed Amorette’s has the new utensil dispensers we’ve spotted previously! These things are so cool because you only touch the hand of the utensil you’re grabbing!

Learn more about Disney World’s new utensil dispensers here!

Amorette’s

Plexiglass shields have been installed at the cash registers and the pastries you order are now served on disposable paper trays. They’re also still accepting all forms of payment.

Amorette’s

But now it’s time to get down to the nitty GRITTY and do what we do best — EAT STUFF! Remember that V-Day treat we mentioned earlier? Well, here it is! Looks-wise, it kinda reminds us of the rose-shaped dessert we enjoyed at Epcot’s Festival of the Arts earlier this year!

Rose Pastry

We can see why this stunning beauty stuck around for a while to give folks time to enjoy it now that Amorette’s has reopened! The Rose Pastry features chocolate mousse, a layer of spongy chocolate cake, and a sweet raspberry filling! We also love how it’s dusted with a rose-red cocoa powder and “dew drops” made of gel icing. It even comes topped with a touch of edible gold leaf!

Rose Pastry

The bottom cake layer of the Rose Pastry was very soft and moist while the mousse texture was almost more like a pudding which we really enjoyed. The raspberry filling’s texture was a little too solid for our liking. It just sort of fell out as a whole and wasn’t too flavorful.

Rose Pastry

All in all, we thought the Rose Pastry is great if you love desserts that combine rich, creamy chocolate with sweet, tart raspberry flavors! You can pick up the Rose Pastry for $8 at Amorette’s Patisserie, now open in Disney Springs!

Check out these adorable Forky socks we just spotted at Disney Springs here!

Review! We’re Making a Transaction at Sprinkles’ Cupcake ATM in Disney Springs

Post date May 29, 2020

Happy Friday, friends! You made it through another LONG week!

Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

And we think you deserve a special TREAT! Let’s head to Sprinkles in Disney Springs to do a little caloric “banking!”

Sprinkles announced yesterday they would be reopening their Disney Springs location today but there’s a catch — they aren’t allowing walk-ins right now, which means you have to order your cupcakes in advance! (All of this is easy enough to do on their website, btw!)

Sprinkles in Disney Springs

But don’t worry if you lack cupcake foresight — there’s a delicious and easy solution: use the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM! This wonderful piece of machinery works just like a regular ATM, but instead of dispensing moola, it dishes out Sprinkles Cupcakes!

Just place your order on the touchscreen, swipe your payment, and VOILA! A perfect little brown package magically appears in the window!

See photos of what it’s like to dine at Disney Springs right now here!

And what’s inside this mystery box, you ask? Why, a Sprinkles Cupcake, of course! Delivered right to you WITHOUT ever having to ever step foot inside the store!

Sprinkles Cupcake

The cupcake flavor we picked up today is called Sprinkles! Gee, we wonder why?

Sprinkles Cupcake

JK — it’s pretty obvious! Check out what this fun guy’s got goin’ on with his frosting and all those rainbow-colored sprinkles!

Wanna pig out with us? Check out The Polite Pig’s new snack HERE!

Its flavors are truly CLASSIC! While we always appreciate Sprinkles’ more off-the-wall flavors like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos or Watermelon Mojito Cupcakes, this one simply reminds us of a nice, thick slab of yellow birthday cake! Plus the sweet, rich buttercream was super YUMMY!

Sprinkles Cupcake

You can access the Cupcake ATM while the shop is open and their cupcakes cost $4.95 to $5.95 depending on which flavor you get! Not sure about you, but we’ll be making A LOT more of these transactions in the months to come!

Check out some of the other snacks we’ve been FEASTING on at Disney Springs this week here!
