Should YOU Eat at Disney World’s BRAND NEW Restaurant?

Monk: Disney Food Blog was a great resource for the Monk family on our recent Disney trip, and they’ve checked out and reviewed the newest barbecue restaurant at the park: the Toy Story-themed Roundup Rodeo BBQ at Hollywood Studios. Its a full service restaurant, which means reservations are required and prices are $45 for adults and $25 for kids 3-9.

In short, they were not impressed by the level of barbecue compared with quick-service options in other parks but found that it might be a good option for a group with a wide variety of food preferences. It also doesn’t have characters stopping by tables, but that could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective.

Based on this, if I do make it to Disney anytime soon I will likely go to The Polite Pig in Disney Springs versus breaking the bank for what sounds like mediocre barbecue at Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

Description: The moment is finally HERE. IS Roundup Rodeo BBQ worth all the hype it’s been receiving leading up to its BIG opening… or have the years of anticipation ended in a fizzle?

Monk: A brewpub with a True ‘Cue barbecue joint attached is coming to Main Street of Mount Holly in early April. Owner Scott Blackwood is combining craft beer with traditional NC wood-smoked barbecue in what he’s calling Firehawk Brewpub. That means pork, ribs, and chicken smoked over a mix of oak, hickory, and pecan in a reverse-flow offset smoker cooked by “BBQ Don” Trevor Seifts.

“Being in the fire department, it seemed logical that we cook our food on live, wood-fired grills,” Blackwood told CharlotteFive. Couldn’t agree more, and I hope to report back on it before too long.
