Boatwright’s Dining Hall at Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort is a casual table service offering that features Southern Louisiana cuisine.
Boatwright’s is open!
Although Disney’s Port Orleans — Riverside Resort reopened in October, not everything there opened with the resort. Boatwright’s remained closed, and fans eagerly awaited when this hidden gem of a restaurant would finally reopen. But today, we’ve got some good news for fans out there, because Boatwright’s is now OPEN!
We made our way to Port Orleans — Riverside tonight to check out the newly reopened Boatwright’s Dining Hall, which is now open for dinner from 5PM to 9PM for the first time since Disney World’s closure in March 2020.
Let’s head into Boatwright’s!
Boatwright’s is designed to resemble a restored boat-construction warehouse. See the fishing boat hull hanging from the ceiling? We were excited to see it again!
Inside Boatwright’s
We made our way to our table, ready to eat some yummy Boatwright’s Southern Louisiana cuisine. The menu has been slightly changed for the reopening, so you might want to take a look at the changes before booking your reservation!
Our table
Our server recommended we try the Southern Hurricane for $13, which is made with Plantation Original Dark Rum, Bayou Silver Rum, and Tropical Juices topped with a float of Southern Comfort.

We ordered the new Boudin Balls (Andouille sausage, smoked Sausage, and dirty rice that is breaded and fried and served with remoulade, Creole mustard, and pickled vegetables) for $13, as well as Mardi Gras Fritters (house-made pimiento cheese fritters with pepper jelly) for $12.
