    Frozen lemonade with vodka, you cant really taste or feel the alcohol
    Jay P.

    Felt like a theme park corn dog the whole time but it seems like only Magic Kingdom sells them and not the other parks. Our friends said Dockside had Nathan's hotdogs and it seemed like a good remedy to the hotdog cravings. The building is in a fake boat right next to the lake with plenty of places to sit that are covered from unexpected rain. The reason for the low review is the chips that come as sides for all the hotdogs. It seemed like they were really old and had too much time to soak up the Florida humidity, I tried chips from different trays for our entire party and they all tasted damp, limp, and stale. We tried saving some in a bucket to try to reheat later but eventually trashed all of them for popcorn. Frozen Lemonade with Tito's Handmade Vodka: Light on the vodka but so refreshing on a hot day. Hotdogs: Tasted great and are all-beef though apparently they don't use Nathan's hotdogs anymore.

    Shrimp Roll- arugula, tomato, pickled fennel, and radish, Rémoulade sauce on a brioche butter bun w/chips - Excellent!

    Let's dock and roll! ;) Casual semi-fastfood ship-looking spot in Disney Hollywood Studios where you'll have no problem finding a place to dock your butt even at the busiest times. We tried ordering via Disney app but it wasn't working so we just stood in line for about 15 minutes during the lunchtime rush. We easily found a table for all 4 of us shaded with an umbrella. My Shrimp Roll really impressed me. It came with fennel and radish in a light dressing on a buttered brioche bun and a side of seasoned chips. It was so full of nicely-sized shrimp that some were trying to escape. While both of my kids found their Mac and Cheese to be too creamy and overcooked (which seems to be the case in all of Disney), they enjoyed the included mandarin orange, apple slices, and low fat milk (or water). Keep calm and dock on! NOTES/TIPS: **Outdoor seating only with umbrellas on all tables. **Wheelchair-accessible. **Restrooms are a bit far near the Indiana Jones show.

    Quick and conveniently located quick lunch spot in Hollywood Studios. Plenty of seating. I highly recommend the Chipotle Chicken Salad Roll. Great flavor. Refreshing on a hot day.

    Dockside Diner is a quick service food spot that is made to look like a docked ship, and is located on the lake at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This quick service food spot has changed menus a million times over the years. Most recently it served hot dogs and Mac n cheese for sometime. The latest menu to come out is a really winner containing only 3 menu items. It consists of shrimp salad roll, Chipotle chicken roll, and fish dip. All 3 items are served with homemade chips. I got to try 2 of the 3 items on my latest trip. Shrimp salad roll- A pleasant surprise! Shrimp were large and well seasoned. Chipotle chicken salad roll- Very tasty with just enough kick. The latest menu is hands down a five star! Dockside makes for a great choice for a light lunch. Side note: There are quite a few bad reviews here, but they all seem to be from past menus and not the current one.

    Chili-Cheese Foot Long Hot Dog

    Big dog My wife and I split a chili-cheese dog yesterday when we visited Dockside Diner as we waited before running over to the Frozen Sing-a-long Show. That was a big dog, more substantial than I expected. It was also pretty good, a cheese sauce and the chili making it messy. To cradle it was a big bun, more bread than we needed but not sure if a thinner bun would have worked very well. Not crowded, I explained in another review we were there the day before the opening of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Dockside Diner is outside, you order at a counter and there are several tables, some partly shady. A nice place to sit and watch the other tourists on a cooler day. The dog came with chips, which I realize today after looking at the online menu. We didn't get any chips. Not sure if I was supposed to serve myself somehow or chips should have been added to our tray. Make sure you get your chips.

    Good selections, correct price point for the type of food we picked up. Very helpful staff. Would recommend for a quick bite to eat. Seating is outside but sufficient.

    chipotle chicken salad sandwich
    Hayley L.

    This place was definitely a pleasant surprise. After a few failed attempts on getting a reservation, we ended up here. I got the chipotle chicken salad sandwich and it was huge and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite things I got on the trip.

    Biggest hot dog I ever saw. Had the chili cheese hot dog its a meal for two with chips it was good lots of chili and chesse. The nacho were good size with lots of topping. We had the frozen lemonade. It was all good and filling. Served with friendly fast service. It not cheap.

    Chicken salad roll- yum
    Glenda R.

    I had the chicken salad roll. Sandwich was really good, enough mayonnaise (I don't like them when they are too dry) only downside is that it was on the small size. But being that it's Disney, this is just enough food to keep

    Great bite! Centrally located in Hollywood Studios right on the pond. We went here in between Indians Jones and the Mickey Mouse ride and it was well worth the time. Outdoor seating only

    Walk up QSR in Disney's Hollywood Studios with outdoor seating only. It's really hard to miss the "boat" this food stand is located inside. They have a very limited menu (no kid's meals), but it's ok for a quick bite. They also serve several different beers here as well as sangria. They serve the infamous Disney turkey legs here which are always good and enough for two people to share if you're wanting ore of a snack versus a full meal. I recently tried the frankfurter in a pretzel roll. It comes with dijon mustard, but you can get it without. I'm not a huge fan of mustard, so I ordered mine without. It was ok, but not as good as Auntie Anne's pretzel dogs. It most certainly wasn't worth the $8.59 price. I can most certainly say it wasn't good enough for me to ever get another one. I bumped the review from 2 stars to 3 stars because they do have the amazing turkey legs and also b/c it's somewhere hubby can grab a beer on a hot day while in the Park.

    Chili Cheese Hot Dog

    Huge huge huge hot dog with chili and cheese on top. Was still a lot of food even sharing it between two people. Surprising was not as messy to eat as you would think

    Susan W.

    This is one of my favorite meals when in the park! The size of the hot dog is Instagram worthy itself, but it also tastes really good. Whenever I am in a theme park, I try to eat something that I would not have on a regular basis and this foot long chili cheese dog is it! The line was short and the service was quick. Seating is outside, which can be a little brutal in the summer, but in the shade it really didn't feel too bad. I do wish that fries were offered instead, but considering it's made on a boat, they may not have the option for that. Overall, great meal that can easily be split among 2 and still leave you full.

    I sadly just realized that I have never reviewed Freddy's. I have been here so often that I…read moreassumed that I already had! Time to fix that oversight. Now this review has nothing to do with that my father's name was Freddy and that my mother's favorite treat was frozen custard. But those little tidbits of information don't hurt. The warm feeling that I get when I eat frozen custard reminiscent of enjoying it on the boardwalk with my mom is renewed at Freddy's not because of the ambience of the restaurant, but because of that same delicious taste that my mind still seems to remember from long ago that I have not found anywhere else before this. But I digress. Freddy's may look like your typical fast food restaurant, but it is anything but. I already loved it for the burgers, the french fries with their wonderful sauce, and of course, the custard but now they have a salad as well. Really fresh greens with my favorite burger on top as a garnish. Low-carb great taste and totally filling. But not so filling as to not leave room for that wonderful custard. On this particular visit, I did run into an issue which I will not lower my rating because of, but want people aware of so it does not happen to them. If you have a coupon for a discounted custard, and they ring in any other item after that, it will restore the custard to the full price on their register. I did not notice that and paid the full price. The manager did give me a card for a free custard next visit so they certainly took responsibility but just wanted people aware to keep an eye on that. In defense of the staff, I don't think they noticed either that it had occurred, so I did not allow that to detract from my impression of five star service from their pleasant, friendly and attentive staff Of course the custard is a star. It comes in all sorts of different ways to serve it. I tend to usually be a purist indeed, as a soft serve, but sometimes their specials are so exciting that I cannot resist. I have never tasted any of them that I did not find awesome. Their steakburgers should not be left as an afterthought. These are not like other fast food burgers; the meat is actually very tasty and because there's not any "proprietary" seasonings on it I even order an extra one so that I can sit outside with my puppy and she can enjoy it. It is small enough to not be unhealthy for her and big enough to be a satisfying snack. Its fat content does not make her ill like the typical fast food burger would. I personally like the fries and find the sauces to be quite good. Prices are more than reasonable and they have hours that make them convenient whenever you're hungry or craving that custard fix. I am a Freddy's fan and wish they would open one closer to where I live in Miami.

    I had never heard of this establishment before, so when I drove past it for the first time a few…read moreweeks ago, I was intrigued. I went inside to order and eat. The resturant inside was very clean, and the employees working behind the counter were very nonchalant. I ended up ordering their grilled chicken sandwich combo with their famous skinny fries. My mom got the Freddy's Original double combo with a Turtle milkshake and onion rings. The sandwich portion was big. The chicken was very juicy and tasted alright. The fries, however, were not seasoned. I had to get a salt and pepper packet to season them. At that point, they were very good, tasty, and crispy! Overall, the meal was okay. It was nothing spectacular but also nothing terrible either. As for my mom, she wasn't very impressed with her hamburger. She said the portion size was good, but she would describe the hamburger itself as "lacy." She said it was okay, but since it took us 27 minutes to get here, she said Culver's was better in quality and closer. She was underwhelmed by the onion rings. She said it was more of the fried breading and barely any onion inside. However, she did enjoy her milkshake, but struggled to suck it up through the straw. It was enjoyable to try a new establishment, but it was just a mid experience for me.

When we ordered, we were also told they offer a military discount, which was definitely a nice surprise. After ordering, we were shown to our table and luckily there were enough seats for our whole family because the place was pretty busy. We went with the Butcher Board and got the street corn and sweet tots for our sides. The pulled pork, prime brisket, and smoked chicken were all cooked really well. I thought the meat could have used a little more seasoning, but they have a self-serve BBQ sauce station with different sauces, so we tried a few of those and they definitely helped add some extra flavor.

The ordering process is simple, you place your order with the cashier at the front. During the dinner rush, expect a long line, but it moves at a steady pace. If you visit during off peak hours, ordering is much quicker. After placing your order, you find a table, and a server brings your food directly to you. For our meal, we ordered: Ribs - They had a rich smoky flavor with a perfectly seasoned dry rub, and the barbecue sauce added just the right amount of sweetness and tang. Brisket - The brisket was cooked perfectly with a flavorful bark on the outside and a moist, tender center. Every bite was packed with smoky goodness and melted in your mouth. Sliced Turkey - The sliced turkey was surprisingly moist and full of flavor. It had a light smoky taste and was anything but dry, making it an excellent choice alongside the other meats. What impressed me most was how quickly our food arrived, even with the restaurant being busy. Everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff was friendly, the dining area was clean, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. If you're visiting Disney Springs and craving quality barbecue without the wait of a table service restaurant, The Polite Pig is an excellent choice. I would definitely eat here again.
