If you’re a movie buff and obsessed with all things Hollywood, there’s really only one place in Disney World where you can go to enjoy a meal and see all kinds of film memorabilia.

That restaurant is Planet Hollywood, a dining spot you’ll find in Disney Springs. Here, you can dine among Hollywood royalty (well, more like props, costumes, and things used by Hollywood royalty). Now, we’ve dined here in the past, and let’s just say we never quite fell in love with it, but we’re giving it another go to see if it can redeem itself. So join us!

Atmosphere

As we mentioned, this restaurant has a theme, and it’s HOLLYWOOD. There’s even a red carpet leading you inside.

Follow that red carpet inside and up the stairs. You’ll eventually reach the end of the carpet and the host area.

There’s a gift shop just to the right of where you’ll wait for your table.

While you’re waiting, be sure to keep an eye out for some fun movie-related items. You’ll see display cases with costumes and props from iconic movies, like a dress from 27 Dresses.

When you make it to the dining area, you’re surrounded by big screens and a massive seating area. This is probably the largest seating area of any restaurant in Disney World.

The restaurant actually has three floors, and each has its own theme. You’ll want to explore all three levels to see all the movie memorabilia. You’ll find both tables and chairs, as well as booths, in the seating areas on each floor.

But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?!

Menu

The food here is described as American casual, which means standard appetizers like Nachos, Garlic Bread, and the World Famous Chicken Crunch. A variety of salads is also available.

Entrees include Guy Fieri! Big Bite Burgers…

…Guy Fieri! Signature Sandwiches

You can also get Pastas and Grill Specialties.

You can order additional sides and dessert, too.

To drink, you can order Non-Alcoholic beverages…

…as well as some Signature Cocktails.

Beer and wine are also available.

Drinks

To drink, we picked up the Black Pearl Mai Tai for $12.99. It’s made with Cruzan white rum, lime & orange juices, Reàl passion fruit syrup & grenadine with a Myers’s dark rum float (which means it’s Captain Jack Sparrow-approved). This is sweeter than a regular mai tai, and it’s not really a classic mai tai because the base is mostly juice.

However, this drink does have those tropical flavors that make you feel like you’re on vacation. If you love a traditional Mai Tai, though, you may not appreciate it as much.

Eats

First up, we grabbed the High Roller Sampler, which is a great way to enjoy four of the appetizers available on the menu. For $42.99, you get the World Famous Chicken Crunch, Texas Tostados, Buffalo Wings, Guacamole with Roasted Corn & Fried Jumbo Shrimp. This baby is HUGE, but it is meant to serve four people.

The Fried Shrimp didn’t really impress us. The breading was loose and just couldn’t cling to the shrimp very well. The shrimp also tasted like it had a bit too much seasoning. The sauce is a classic sriracha sauce, and it was tasty, but this was our least favorite thing on the sampler.

Okay, moving on…the Guacamole was OUTSTANDING enough to make us forgive the shrimp. It has all these beautiful layers of ingredients and flavors, including guacamole, roasted corn, serrano peppers, and cotija cheese. They’re served with corn tortilla chips, but we were pretty much dipping almost everything in the sampler in it.

The World Famous Chicken Crunch is chicken tenders with honey mustard sauce. The breading is just perfect, making them delightfully crispy, with the chicken inside being juicy and tender. If you love a good chicken tender, this is for you. They’re served with a Creole mustard sauce, but they’re honestly good on their own.

The Buffalo Wings are classic wings with medium buffalo sauce. They are well-fried and served with your choice of blue cheese or ranch. Nothing special, but if you love that classic Buffalo Chicken Wing thing, you’ll love these.

The Texas Tostadas are so fun because they have crispy Gyoza skins, which makes for a nice twist. They’re topped with BBQ chicken, sautéed onions, a blend of cheddar & Monterey Jack cheeses & drizzled with sour cream & BBQ sauce and served with pico de gallo. The barbecue sauce is delicious, and they were packed with flavor. This is the one item on the sampler that really surprised us. We also loved them dipped in the guacamole.

For our entree, we ordered the Bacon Mac-n-Cheese Burger for $22.99. This is a Guy Fieri! smash-grilled burger with Applewood smoked bacon, six cheese mac-n-cheese, cheddar, LTOP, crispy onion straws, and donkey sauce on a brioche bun. It’s called a Big Bite, and it ain’t kidding! This burger is HUGE. It’s PACKED with mac and cheese, so you’ve got that nice creamy cheesiness, which, OBVIOUSLY, pairs well with the salty bacon.

There’s even more melted cheddar ON TOP of the mac and cheese, because, well, you can NEVER have too much cheese. You can still taste the burger, though, under all those toppings, and there’s a nice crispiness that comes from the onion straws. This is a solidly good burger.

After all that food, we threw caution to the wind and also ordered dessert because YOLO! So we got the most decadent-sounding sweet treat on the menu, the White Chocolate Bread Pudding for $12.95. It’s a white chocolate bread pudding served with vanilla ice cream and a sweet whiskey sauce. YES!!! Seriously, this was the BEST way to end the meal with all those layers of soaked bread pudding that are alternatively firm and soft. We will say the white chocolate doesn’t really come through that much, but the flavors are still delish.

The fresh whipped cream is also a nice touch because when it melts, it basically becomes something like a crème anglaise, especially when mixed with the ice cream, which is what many bread puddings are usually topped with. We will warn you that this dessert is HUGE, so it’s absolutely shareable.

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

• You want a classic burger and fries meal. Now, there are plenty of other items on the menu at Planet Hollywood, but the Guy Fieri! Burgers are worth the hype, and probably what you’d want to order here.
• You love music. If you want to visit a restaurant with great music, music videos are constantly playing on the massive TV screens, so it could be just the thing to lift your spirits. It’s also a great environment for occasions like birthdays.
• You have picky eaters in your group. Not only can you get solid burgers and fries here, but the menu has a lot of classic American staples that pretty much anyone in your group will love, including kids.

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

• You’ve been to a Planet Hollywood before. Okay, so here’s the thing. If you’ve already visited a Planet Hollywood in another city, there’s nothing really different or unique about the Orlando location.
• You want a high-quality table service meal. Although we enjoyed our meal here, you can get a higher-quality meal at other restaurants in Disney Springs. Yes, Planet Hollywood is great for picky eaters, but if you want a more memorable meal, you won’t find it here.
• You’re on a tight budget. Although the menu here is fairly casual, the prices are not. Burgers will run you $20 and more, which might seem low by Disney standards, but you can get the same kind of food throughout Disney for less. If it’s a burger you want, head on over to D-Luxe Burger instead to save some $$$.

Overall

We’ll admit that we generally have low expectations when we visit restaurants like Planet Hollywood, but this visit exceeded those expectations in almost every way. The burgers are solid, the menu has a lot of variety, and enough choices for picky eaters, and the desserts are satisfying enough for anyone with a sweet tooth. Sure, it’s not the highest quality restaurant you’ll find in Disney World, but you could also do much worse.

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more restaurant updates from Disney World and beyond. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
