When it comes to dining at Disney World, you’ve got a TON of options. Want something quick and easy? You’ve got it. Something middle-of-the-road and comforting? Yep, that too. And if you’re looking for something upscale and luxurious, you can find that as well.

We recently stopped by The BOATHOUSE at Disney Springs to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!

Atmosphere

The BOATHOUSE is a signature restaurant in Disney Springs with a culinary focus on steaks, chops, and seafood. As you might have guessed, it’s themed after boating, and that’s reflected in the overall atmosphere and decor.

This restaurant offers seating for 600 (400 inside and 200 outside), so there’s not a bad seat in the house. And don’t miss the chance to stroll around the dock and check out the beautiful vintage “dream boats” from the 30s, 40s, and 50s!

Another highlight of this unique restaurant is the Amphicars. These cars that “drive” on water are just part of the entertainment at The BOATHOUSE, and you can find booking information for the experience here.

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

Menu

While there are certainly opportunities to splurge on dishes like Maine Lobster Tail Oscar or one of the Gibsons Heritage Steaks, the spot also offers a more casual outdoor menu and sandwiches such as their Gibsons “Sandwich King” Award-Winning Burger.

And, the raw bar serves three to five varieties of oysters in addition to Anastasia Gold caviar sourced from a local farm in Pierson, Florida.

And now, onto the main event — the food!

Drinks

To drink, we picked up the iconic Duck Duck Razz for $17. This is made with Skyy Raspberry Vodka, blue curacao, lemon juice, and simple syrup — and it’s one of our favorite drinks at Disney World!

So, what did we grab to eat?!

Eats

We picked up the Duo Dips & Chips for $13.50. This comes with tortilla chips, pimento chips, and charred tomato salsa. The chips have a nice, crisp crunch and taste freshly prepared. There’s a light seasoning of salt and pepper that add flavor before being dipped. The pepper adds just a little bit of spice that works well with both dips.

The pimento cheese dip is rich, creamy, and cheese-focused. It’s a blend that seems to be multiple cheeses (maybe shredded mozzarella or another lighter cheese). There are red pepper pieces that add color, a slight crunch, and a subtle pepper flavor, though there’s not much of a kick.

The salsa has a brief kick at the start of each bite before you’re hit with a fresh tomato flavor. The strongest flavor in this is definitely tomato with a slightly acidic aftertaste. It isn’t overloaded with spices or seasoning, but just enough to still get a big flavor from the tomato. The texture is smooth enough to coat the chips, and they don’t soften after holding the dips, either.

For our main entrée, we had the “Yacht Club” Sandwich, which is $23. This sandwich is made with roasted turkey breast, cucumber, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, honey chipotle mayo, and Swiss cheese served on multigrain bread. It comes with kettle chips on the side, but you can swap those out for an additional cost.

This is available in a half or full portion, and our waitress strongly recommended the half due to its size — which we’re happy about, because this was MASSIVE. This is a multi-layered sandwich that’s tall and thick due to how much is packed inside. The roasted turkey is the most prominent flavor here. It’s thick, savory, and freshly roasted instead of something like lunch meat. The vegetables add a freshness and crunch in each bite that blends in. The avocado added a soft texture and creaminess that also blended well. The chipotle honey mayo had a faint, slightly sweet flavor with a mild kick that faded quickly.

We also tried an order of the Truffle Fries for $13.50. These are served with ketchup and lemon aioli and are COVERED in seasonings. The fries are freshly cooked with a mixture of crispy edges and softer insides. Most of them were pretty floppy and didn’t hold much shape. The potato flavor inside was so fresh that it tasted like steak fries despite them being thin-cut.

These are topped with truffle oil and Parmesan, which add a light saltiness to the fries. The truffle oil adds an earthy taste that’s noticeable in most bites. The STAR of this is the lemon aioli. It’s tangy, citrusy, with a subtle garlic flavor that enhances the other flavors in the fries. The ketchup gives a sweeter, more familiar dipping option, but doesn’t make as much of a difference as the aioli.

Finally, we rounded out our meal with the Key Lime Pie, available for $15. This is made with key lime, vanilla bean chantilly cream, and raspberries, and IT IS HUGE. This is an oversized pie slice that’s easily shareable between 2-4 people! The top layer is light, airy whipped topping that covers the pie and is topped with key lime zest.

This layer is very creamy and fluffy compared to the layer underneath of key lime custard. This layer is more citrus-focused, sweet, tangy, and thick. It leans closer to a mousse than a dense custard. Although both the custard and whipped layers are about the same size, the citrus flavor is the strongest in the slice, and the whipped layer is there to enhance the layer underneath. There’s also a homemade graham cracker crust that breaks apart easily and gives a warm, spiced crunch. It’s relatively thin, so it’s not in every bite.

So, is The BOATHOUSE still one of our favorite spots at Disney Springs?

Nosh or Not

This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

• You’re looking for great seafood:
  Obviously, a place called The BOATHOUSE has pretty good seafood! We’ve had items like different kinds of oysters, grouper, shrimp, and more. Everything usually tastes fresh, bright, with the perfect hit of saltiness, and if seafood is your thing, you’ll have to cross this restaurant off your list.
• You want a relaxing meal:
  Sometimes you need to escape the chaos of the theme parks, and one way to do this is by choosing a long table service experience to soak in all the relaxation. We love the comfortable seating, beautiful views out the window, and enjoying the drinks, appetizers, bread on the table, entrees, and dessert.
• You’re celebrating:
  While this isn’t the most expensive restaurant in Disney Springs, it’s definitely not the cheapest. We like coming here when we’re celebrating or looking for a place to catch up with friends visiting from out of town, to make it feel special. It’s also nice for a date night!

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

• Seafood is not your thing:
  While there are great options outside of seafood that we love, if no one in your party is obsessed with seafood, you’ll probably be able to find another restaurant with a wider variety of options. We usually don’t find that this restaurant “smells” like a seafood restaurant, but you might not enjoy the prices if seafood isn’t your focus.
• You have kids dining with you:
  While there is a kids’ menu with mac and cheese, burgers, and chicken tenders, there might not be enough options for your kids. There is also grilled salmon and popcorn shrimp for those who are a little more adventurous, but if you have picky eaters and they’re particular about their meals, a restaurant with a more expansive kids’ menu might be better.
• You’re looking for something more unique:
  While we do love The BOATHOUSE, the dishes are not the most unique we’ve seen. They’re packed with great flavor and quality, but they’re dishes we’re familiar with. If you’re looking for something you might not have heard of, this might not be it, but if you’re dabbling in seafood, you might enjoy the wide variety of options.
