We visited Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs, and this was definitely one of my favorite meals while in Orlando. We started with the White Peach Sangria, the Church Lady Deviled Eggs, and the Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp. Now those shrimp deserve their own moment. They're tossed in house-made hot honey and served with remoulade, and they were SO good. Sweet, a little heat, salty from the bacon... just a really good combination. For dinner, we shared Art's Famous Fried Chicken and the Meatloaf Main Plate. The fried chicken is buttermilk-brined for 24 hours and came with creamy mashed potatoes and a cheddar drop biscuit. The chicken was seasoned, juicy, crispy... exactly what fried chicken is supposed to be. And the meatloaf surprised me because I don't usually go somewhere like this thinking, "Let me order the meatloaf." But I'm glad we did. It came with mashed potatoes, Southern green beans, and that cheddar drop biscuit. Comfort food done RIGHT. Everything we had was good. Not "it was okay" good. I mean we were sitting there eating, sharing plates, and talking about how good everything was. And apparently it was good enough for me to completely forget I do food reviews and should probably take pictures first. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' at Disney Springs... I'll definitely be back.

This place was an amazing spot to eat at in Disney Springs and had some of the best food I ate…read moreduring my trip in Florida. 4.5/5 We came pretty late to the establishment after a long day at the theme parks. We were staying at a Holiday Inn near Disney Springs so we decided to come here for a late dinner. One of the best decisions made here. We did a late night walk through the shopping center and landed here around 9:50 pm. It was pretty late and we worried there would be no seats but we were seated promptly. The establishment was very ambient, cozy, and well furnished. I liked the warm, glowing atmosphere of the restaurant. The server was extremely polite and took our order quite soon. We were starving after a long day but the food came out in around 20ish minutes which wasn't too bad. The serving sizes were quite huge. We didn't expect this much food for two portions. For $34 per plate, the dishes were large and came with a large helping of sides. The fried chicken was extremely crispy and juicy. They originally wanted to serve the food quickly/more fresh so they served a chicken thigh to me after on a second plate. They also forgot my substitution of Mac n cheese for mash potatoes so I got a free helping of mash which was sweet. The pickled cucumber was light and fresh which tasted great with the heavier chicken. The potatoes were a little heavy and I wish came with gravy, but still delicious. I really loved the Mac n cheese and finished that up. The chicken steak was also delicious with the grits but a little too salty. Wish they added the grits to the side for me to dip as it became a little too much at times. It was better to eat it with a side of potatoes to balance the flavor. The broccolini was sautéed perfectly and delicious, could eat a whole plate of those alone. The biscuits weren't bad but tasted better eaten with the potatoes. The food was a little heavy but so so good. We had to take half of the food to our hotel and ate it the next day for dinner as it was way too much food for one meal. Even after microwaving it, the food was just as delicious and flavorful. We spent about $80 but had so much food leftover. An expensive dinner, but everything tasted amazing. Would definitely come back if I had the chance.

The wife liked her meatloaf, but I'll be honest when I say I prefer her own homemade meatloaf the rare times she makes it. The service was quite good again, no issues there.

The Polite Pig is a barbecue-style quick-service restaurant located in Disney Springs at Walt…read moreDisney World Resort. It opened in April 2017 and was founded by husband-and-wife chef team James and Julie Petrakis, along with James's brother, Brian Petrakis. James and Julie both met when they attended the Culinary Institute of America. Collectively, they have worked at a number of restaurants from New York City to Atlanta. During their early culinary years, they both gained a strong appreciation for local and sustainable ingredients. The Petrakises own and operate a number of sister restaurants that include The Ravenous Pig, Cask & Larder, and Swine & Sons. Disney approached them wanting to feature a popular, locally-rooted culinary presence among its lineup of celebrity chefs and national chains. The couple opened The Polite Pig in an effort to highlight genuine Florida-inspired wood-fired, smoked, and grilled dishes to an international audience visiting Disney Springs. My family and I visited The Polite Pig for lunch this past summer while we were on a Walt Disney World Vacation. We really liked the whole vibe and the staff were so friendly and helpful. To drink, I ordered a "Piña Colada Mocktail" while my wife ordered a "Strawberry Daiquiri". For food, my wife and I shared the "Butcher Board" (polite pork, smoked chicken, brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, slaw, house pickles, pickled onions, cornbread, crispy brussel sprouts, sweet potato tots). It was fantastic! It was a great way to sample some of their best offerings and we loved all of the different flavors. Our older son had the "Smoked Pork Slider (w/ waffle fries) and our younger son had the "Mac & Cheese" (w/ waffle fries). They also loved their choices. There was also no shortage of delicious sauces for all of us to try with our dishes. We had an excellent experience at The Polite Pig and we hope to return on a future Disney trip!

Visited the Polite Pig again today and ordered three sides for $17 that included Burnt Ends Chili,…read moreStreet Corn and Mac & Cheese. The burnt end Chili was a bit overly spicy. Not inedible but I feel like the spice level could be toned down. The Street Corn was served on the cob and while I prefer off the cob, it was easy to cut it off the cob. The corn was prepared properly and remained crisp which I loved. The Mac and Cheese was too salty and pretty basically bland other than that. I will likely not order this again. Ordering is at the counter, they then give a lager that you take to your table so your food is served at your table. Servers check on you throughout your meal and they are helpful. The dining room is indoors and open air to the outdoor seating. Tables are placed tightly throughout the restaurant making it challenging to navigate getting to some tables and eliminate the possibility of getting to some tables of you have a stroller or mobility device. My meal with iced tea was a bit overly spicy $24 so this isn't a budget lunch.

Mediocre food at an outrageous price…read more The food wasn't terrible, but it was completely unremarkable and certainly not worth what they charge. When we first arrived, we sat at the bar and ordered drinks while waiting for our table. We noticed several nearly full plates being cleared from nearby tables, especially the pizzas. We probably should have taken that as a warning sign, but we decided to stay because we had previously enjoyed Wolfgang Puck Express. We shared one plate of spaghetti and meatballs, an appetizer, and two drinks. The total came to around $100, which left me feeling completely ripped off. Nothing about the food, service, or overall experience justified that price. There are plenty of better options nearby that offer more satisfying food for far less money.
