1. The 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck
4 Rivers is a bbq restaurant that started in Orlando and has since expanded throughout the state. The southern style bbq has made its way to Disney Springs with the 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck, which specializes in more Mexican-leaning dishes.
My Top Foodie Recommendation
One iconic dish that is a must-try on your next Disney Springs day is the Taco Cone. This dish starts with a fried flour tortilla that’s made into the shape of a cone.
You then get your choice of filling, and shredded lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, queso, cilantro, jalapeno, and a lime wedge are all stuffed on top. The Taco Cone is messy, so be sure to grab a few extra napkins.
Hipster Power Tip: While there are not a ton of tables around the for truck there are benches to sit at while you enjoy the warm Florida sun and your taco cone.
2. Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza
One thing you can never go wrong with is pizza. At Blaze Fast-Fire’d Pizza you get to customize your own pizza from the crust and sauce to all of the toppings. The fast casual restaurant is located at the Town Center section of Disney Springs.
How to Make Your Pizza at Blaze?
To get started on your pizza, you walk through a toppings line and let the employee helping you know what you want for completely custom pizza.
The best part about dining here is that the cheapest pizza is $8, and it’s super filling.
My Top Foodie Recommendation
If you’re not into the pressure of making your own pizza then one of the Signature Pizzas, which come with plenty of toppings.
My favorite is the White Top pizza, which starts with a base of white cream sauce, mozzarella cheese, then adds bacon, garlic and oregano, and is finished with fresh arugula.
3. Chicken Guy!
Just past the Coca-Cola Store you’ll find the entrance to Flavortown at Chicken Guy! This quick service restaurant is the brain child of none other than Food Network star Guy Fieri.
The Chicken Guy! serves a variety of chicken-based dishes like sandwiches, strips, loaded fries, and salads.
Pro Tip for Visiting the Chicken Guy! in Disney Springs
Don’t let the extremely long line fool you into walking past in lieu of somewhere else. The line moves quickly, but once you’re inside you’re basically going to need to know what you want because the distance from the door to the register isn’t long.
One thing that sets Chicken Guy! apart from its competitors is the 22 sauces that you can choose from to go with your meal. The sauces range in style from basic bbq sauce to more exciting wasabi honey.
My Top Foodie Recommendations:
You can’t go wrong with any of the chicken tenders, but be sure to try the fried pickles… you’ll thank me later!
4. D-Luxe Burger
Sometimes a simple burger and fries sounds like the best meal, and the best place to get that at Disney Springs is D-Luxe Burger. The fast-casual spot is located in the Town Center section of Disney Springs and has a lovely outdoor patio to enjoy the view of the springs.
Each of the burgers here start off with two pressed patties, then comes the creative toppings with everything from jerky aioli and mango salsa to fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese.
Enjoy the BEST Fries at Walt Disney World
Do not forget to order a side of the hand-cut fries, which are in the running for the best fries at Disney. After you order, hit the sauce bar where you can load up on house-made sauces for dipping your fries into.
