The Polite Pig
If you have spent any time in Orlando, you have likely visited James and Julie Petrakis’ James Beard Nominated Ravenous Pig. The Polite Pig hits the culinary mark of the Orlando couple, while mastering the fast casual experience.
From the with delicious barbecue, killer veg based sides, and cocktails on tap, you can’t go wrong here. It’s definitely the best Disney Springs quick service restaurant.
My perfect meal here is an order of brisket, with a sides of Whiskey Carmel Brussel Sprouts, BBQ Cauliflower, and Beet Salad which is unexpected but delicious. Try their Apple Cider Whiskey Sour (one of the best drinks in Disney Springs), which comes in a cocktail glass rimmed with cinnamon sugar. Those looking for an after park drink will love the Bourbon Bar featuring over 60 types of whiskey.
Young ones will be happy here too, with great kid-friendly selections like chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and barbecue meatballs.

If you are craving a taste of Asian but want to bypass a table service meal, Morimoto Asia Street Food isn’t a bad option. They serve two types of ramen, and small plates like Takoyaki and Egg Rolls. Seating is outdoors, and this isn’t a bad place for people watching.
It’s not quite at the level of the main restaurant (which is a great date night destination), but for a quick snack on a cool day, this is a good Disney Springs quick service restaurant to try.
If you have kids with you, and are on the fence about a sit down meal, Morimoto Asia is very kid-friendly, and the food is better inside the restaurant.

Pepe by Jose Andres
Pepe is the brick and mortar version of Jose Andres popular Washington, DC food truck now in Walt Disney World. If you are on the West side of Disney Springs this is a great please to grab a light bite to eat.
Their menu is mostly warm and cold sandwiches, but they also offer several small plates off of their tapas menu including croquetas de pollo and gazpacho.
In my opinion, Jose Andres’ sangria is the best in Disney Springs. If on the West Side of Disney Springs, I wouldn’t hesitate to drop in here for some Sangria Roja and a serrano ham and manchego sandwich. Yum! If you are considering a table service meal, the main restaurant Jaleo is also very kid friendly and romantic enough for a date night. It’s definitely worth the splurge.

D-Luxe Burger
D-Luxe Burger is somewhat of a hidden gem in Disney Springs. With plenty of seating, mobile ordering options, and high quality ingredients, its a classic staple for a good fast casual meal.
They serve burgers and chicken sandwiches, fresh-cut fries, and have a gelato shake menu that the kids will love. Overall this place packs good flavors with the convenience of an easy meal with kids.

The Basket at Wine Bar George
Plan the perfect picnic at Wine Bar George. Wine Bar George is one of our favorite adult restaurants in Disney World to dine. If you don’t have the time for table service, there is a small quick service window next to the main restaurant. This is a great place to pick up a Charcuterie plate, cheese and crackers, or Frose and fries.
You can enjoy your snacks across the way at the stage across the street which has ample seating and often has live music.
