Hollywood Studios Dining – Table Service Restaurants

There are several amazing sit down table service restaurants throughout Hollywood Studios! We always highly recommend making dining reservations up to 60 days in advance through the My Disney Experience website or mobile app for any of these restaurants. You can also call (407) 939-7529 to book your next table service dining reservation. Dining reservations are a great way to take a break and enjoy delicious food during a visit to Hollywood Studios.

The table service restaurants at Hollywood Studios include:

• 50's Prime Time Café
• The Hollywood Brown Derby
• Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano
• Roundup Rodeo BBQ
• Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

50's Prime Time Café 

The 50's Prime Time Café is located in the Echo Lake area of Hollywood Studios and serves classic American food in an authentically vintage, family atmosphere. Even the waitstaff treats you like family and will make sure guests don't eat with their elbows on the table and clear their entire plate!

Guests can enjoy homecooked meals during lunch and dinner such as Grandpa Jean's Chicken Pot Pie, Mom's Old-Fashioned Pot Roast, or A Sampling of Mom's Favorite Recipes which includes fried chicken, pot roast, and meatloaf with all the fixin's. Desserts include Key Lime Pie and Dad's Favorite Chocolate-Peanut Butter Layered Cake! Prices range between $17 and $30 a plate for adults and $14.50 and under for Kids ages 9 and younger.

50's Prime Time Café is one of my favorite table service restaurants at Hollywood Studios and offers great food and a fun atmosphere for everyone in the family.

The Hollywood Brown Derby

Located on Hollywood Boulevard area is the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant, a more up-scale table service restaurant. This restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and offers contemporary American cuisine inside a beautiful wood-paneled restaurant modeled after the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Entrées range from Filet Mignon with mushroom risotto, Grilled Ōra King Salmon, and a plant-based Shepherd's Pie. You can also order extra enhancement dishes to your meal such as Shrimp Macaroni & Cheese and Spoon Bread with lavender-honey butter. Our favorite desserts at the Hollywood Brown Derby include the Orange-Hazelnut Chocolate Cake and classic Crème Brûlée with citrus and cherry-spiced compote. The main entrées are priced between $33 and $49 per person, and the Kids entrées are priced between $9.50 and $17.50 which range from a hot dog, chicken breast, or steak with choice of two sides and a small drink.

I personally love dining at Hollywood Brown Derby as it fits Hollywood Studio's original theming and serves delicious food! Although it might not be in my budget for every trip, it is worth the splurge especially on special occasions.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ

Located in Toy Story Land is the Roundup Rodeo BBQ, the newest restaurant at Hollywood Studios! This has become one of the best restaurants at Hollywood Studios serving tasty BBQ food at a western-themed restaurant seen through the eyes of Andy's favorite toys! This restaurant is not only themed to perfection but is interactive as well. Guests will have to freeze in place like Andy's toys when his mom comes looking for him!

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is open for lunch and dinner and serves family style meals, meaning it is a flat rate with all you can eat food. Both lunch and dinner costs $45 per adult and $25 per child, plus tax and gratuity. The price includes choice of salad along with a platter of BBQ favorites including smoked ribs, beef brisket, fire-grilled pork sausage, BBQ chicken, and baked beans. There is also a delicious plant-based platter option which includes vegan bratwurst, rib chops, baked beans, and sides. The platter comes with delicious sides including potato barrels (tater tots), mac & cheese, corn on the corn, and veggie slaw. The price of the meal also includes a choice of dessert such as chocolate silk pie, apple pie, or a Forky cupcake!

Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano

If you're in the mood for some great Italian food, Mama Melrose's Ristorante Italiano is a great option! This restaurant is located on Grand Avenue near the Muppet*Vision 3D attraction and is open for lunch and dinner. This is a beautiful restaurant with string lights and colorful decorations with a California twist on Italy.

This restaurant has all of your favorite Italian dishes including different types of pizza, Spaghetti and Meatballs, Braied Pork Osso Bucco, and more! There are also tons of delicious Italian desserts from Tiramisu to a Mini Cannoli Trio consisting of an orange cream, caramel-butterscotch, and traditional cannoli with chocolate chips garnished with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar. The main entrees are priced between $19 and $36 each while the Kids menu items range between $12 and $14.

Overall, Mama Melrose is a great option for Italian food and a relaxing atmosphere. While the theme isn't too unique compared to some of the other table service restaurants in Hollywood Studios, the food is delicious, and we would recommend it for anyone looking for Italian food at Hollywood Studios.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant is located on Commissary Lane and offers one of the most unique dining experiences at Disney World. Guests sit in “cars” that face a large drive-in movie screen that plays sci-fi movie clips including attacking aliens, marauding mummies, and rampaging robots. The restaurant is even darkened with a sky of twinkling stars to give you the feel of eating in a '50s style drive-in.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is open for lunch and dinner and serves classic American food such as burgers, salads, and pasta with chicken or shrimp. Desserts include a hot fudge sundae, cheesecake, or a plant-based cookie milkshake. The main entrées range between $19 and $30, while the Kids menu offers items between $11.50 and $13.50.

Although the experience of the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater restaurant is very cool to experience, the food is not quite up to par with the other table service restaurants at Hollywood Studios. It's definitely not our first choice, but could be a great option for families looking for a cheap bite of classic American food.

Hollywood Studios Quick Service Restaurants

There are several great quick service restaurants when considering the various Hollywood Studios dining options.

If possible, we always recommend using the My Disney Experience app to mobile order meals at quick service restaurants because it is usually a lot faster than waiting in line.

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo

Located near the Millennium Falcon and Smuggler's Run attraction in Galaxy's Edge, Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo has become one of the best quick-service restaurants in Hollywood Studios! We love the location, theme, and the food at this quick-service restaurant. Docking Bay 7 is open for lunch and dinner and serves a variety of entrées including Endorian Fried Chicken Tip Yip, Smoked Kaadu Pork Ribs, Peka Tuna Poke, and a plant-based Felucian Falafel and Hummus Garden Spread with grilled pita.

Woody's Lunch Box

Our other favorite quick-service restaurant is Woody's Lunch Box, located across from the Slinky Dog Dash rollercoaster in Toy Story Land. The only real downside of this restaurant is that the seating area is very small and has no indoor seating. However, there are some great food options during breakfast, lunch, and dinner at Woody's Lunch Box. Our favorites include the Breakfast Bowl with smoked biscuit country gravy, scrambled eggs, and onions, as well as the BBQ Brisket Melt and Grilled Three-Cheese Sandwich. There are also a lot of great plant-based options here including vegan grilled cheese and Totchos with chili, cheese, green onions, and corn chips over potato barrels. Woody's Lunch Box is also home to the Lunch Box Tart, which is one of our favorite desserts in all of Disney World.

Woody's Lunch Box is fairly inexpensive, with the main menu items ranging between $10.29 and $13.29 each, and Kids menu items ranging between $6.99 and $7.79. This is another reason why we love visiting this fun quick-service restaurant!

ABC Commissary

Another solid quick-service restaurant option is ABC Commissary, located on Commissary Lane. Though their menu is pretty consists of basic American food and some seafood options, they have a very large indoor seating area which can be a nice break from the heat. The food is also very surprisingly good too! It's usually not too busy, making it a nice option to find a quick bite.

ABC Commissary's menu items include Shrimp and Pork Carnitas Tacos, Chicken Club Sandwich, and a Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich which range between $10.79 and $12.99. The Kid's menu items all cost $7.79 and include a Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich, Pork Taco, or Chicken Salad Sandwich. ABC Commissary also offers delicious drinks such as a Watermelon Margarita, wine, and beer.

Backlot Express

The Backlot Express, located near the Star Tours attraction, is a movie-themed eatery offering flavorful dishes including BBQ burgers, sandwiches, and Star Wars-inspired items. The Star Wars items include the very popular BB-8 Droid Sipper and Wookie Cookie which consists of two oatmeal cookies with vanilla cream filling garnished with Chewbacca's milk chocolate sash. Backlot Express is open during lunch and dinner and offers lots of great options for a quick meal at Hollywood Studios!

The Kids Menu also includes various bowls, salads, and macaroni & cheese between $6.99 and $8.49. Backlot Express is one of our favorite quick-service restaurants, and everyone in your party is sure to find something quick and delicious here.

Catalina Eddie's

Catalina Eddie's is located on Sunset Blvd. within the Sunset Ranch Market and offers fresh hot pizza, subs, and salads for lunch and dinner. Although not necessarily our favorite pizza in all of Disney World, it is a great option for a quick bite while in between the many shops and attractions off Sunset Blvd.

The main entrées include pizza, Meatball Sub, Chicken Caesar Salad, along with a side of Breadsticks option. These are pretty inexpensive with prices ranging between $11.29 and $12.49, with similar Kids menu options priced at $7.99 and under. Although Catalina Eddie's isn't necessarily one of our favorites at Hollywood Studios, it's definitely worth a stop if you're in the mood for a quick pizza and breadsticks!

Dockside Diner

Located near Echo Lake, Dockside Diner is an open-air “tramp steamer” quick-service restaurant paying tribute to '50s California-Crazy architecture. Although this restaurant sells lunch and dinner items, their hours are usually limited to between 11 AM and 5 PM. Their entrees range between $10.49 and $12.79 and include hot dogs and bacon macaroni & cheese with options of adding on sides. Dockside Diner also serves specialty beverages including alcoholic and non-alcoholic milkshakes and margaritas.

Although the food here isn't anything to write home about, it is a great quick option for something on the go while you explore Hollywood Studios, and offers a fairly unique theme!

Fairfax Fare

Located on Sunset Blvd., Fairfax Fare is famous for their waffle bowls filled with chicken, pork, brisket, or plant-based Soba noodles along with other delicious toppings. While these bowls are served during lunch and dinner, you can also visit Fairfax Fare during breakfast to enjoy a Mickey-shaped waffle platter with bacon and specialty beverages such as the Belle Cup of Enchantment which consists of cranberry and passion fruit-orange-guava juices with yellow shimmer and Boba pearls.

We highly recommend trying one of the unique waffle bowls which range between $13.49 and $15.29. Fairfax Fare also serves dessert and a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. This is a great quick-service option for any meal during your visit to Hollywood Studios!

PizzeRizzo

Owned by the Rizzo, the wise-cracking Muppet, PizzeRizzo is another pizza option at Hollywood Studios. It is located on Grand Avenue near the Muppet*Vision 3D attraction and is open for lunch and dinner. PizzeRizzo serves classic Italian foods such as pizza, antipasto salad, and a meatball sub which range between $10.79 and $12.49. They also serve unique desserts including a Pizza Cookie, Mickey apple pie cupcake, and delicious cannolis. Beverages also include margaritas, wine, and beer for those over 21 to enjoy.

PizzeRizzo doesn't have our favorite pizza at Disney World but we do like their desserts and hanging out in the Grand Avenue area which typically doesn't have a ton of crowds. Therefore if you are looking for a relaxing area with decent food we recommend PizzeRizzo!

Ronto Roasters

Another great quick-service option in Galaxy's Edge is Ronto Roasters, an open-air restaurant open during breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ronto Roasters offers one of most popular breakfast options at Disney World, known as the Ronto Morning Wrap consisting of eggs, grilled pork sausage, shredded cheddar, and peppercorn sauce served in pita bread. Ronto Roasters also serves other delicious Ronto Wraps which range between $12.29 and $13.29 as well as Kyryll Pork Rinds and other delicious specialty drinks.

Although I personally prefer Docking Bay 7 for lunch and dinner, we highly recommend grabbing a Ronto Morning Wrap for a delicious boost of energy for your day at Hollywood Studios.

Rosie's All-American Café

If you're in the mood for classic burgers, chicken nuggets, chili-cheese fries, or hot dogs, Rosie's All-American Café is a great quick-service option. This restaurant is conveniently located on Sunset Blvd. and is open for lunch and dinner. Their entrees are conveniently priced between $10.99 and $14.79 and also serves delicious desserts including the Lightning McQueen Spare Tire doughnut and Fantasmic! peanut butter cookie sandwich.

Hollywood Studios Bars and Lounges

Hollywood Studios has several great bars and lounges for guests to enjoy drinks and small plates in a uniquely themed atmosphere. You do not need to be 21 to enter these lounges, especially as they typically also serve food and non-alcoholic drinks.

The bars and lounges at Hollywood Studios include:

• Tune-In Lounge is located inside the 50's Prime Time Café restaurant and offers specialty cocktails and a 50's inspired lounge. A full bar is available along with specialty drinks that can come with experimental “electric ice cubes” inside the drinks that guests can take home as a souvenir.

• Baseline Taphouse is a modern California-styled pub specializing in brews and wine. This brewery has the feel of a modern-day Downtown Los Angeles. Their lounge menu includes a Bavarian Pretzel, California Cheese and Charcuterie Plate, and over 20 beers, ciders and wines on tap. I love grabbing an outdoor table and people watching the crowds go by as I enjoy a delicious beer!
• Oga's Cantina is where guests can dine at a cantina similar to Tatooine's Mos Eisley Cantina from Episode IV: A New Hope. Patrons can try Star Wars-inspired food and unique drink concoctions! This is a very popular spot so we highly recommend grabbing a reservation for Oga's Cantina.

• The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is located inside the upscale Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant and serves wine, and libations such as signature Derby cocktails and martinis. The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge also serves a large assortment of entrées, small plates including BLT sliders, charcuterie boards, filet mignon, pan-roasted halibut, and other great plates you can order at the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant. Therefore, if you can't grab a dinner reservation, the lounge could be another option to enjoy their delicious food.
