Hollywood Studios: ABC Commissary Review

It has been years since we last ate at the ABC Commissary. We always found the menu too fancy (lacking pizza or hamburgers) for our kids, and way too crowded. You can imagine our surprise when we looked at the menu and found.... hamburgers and french fries! But not only kid fare, but some nice adult options too. We decided to give the ABC Commissary a try in hope it could be an air conditioned destination that would make everyone in the family happy.

The boys got a pile of kid burgers and fries. My wife got the BBQ burger and I got the ribs and chicken.

The kids burgers came with cheese, even though we asked for no cheese. Luckily it didn't melt, so, we were able to remove it. My wife gave her fries to the boys, ate half of the giant BBQ burger and said she was full. The ribs were fantastic. The half chicken was good, but, it is a lot of messy work to get chicken off the bone. Half way through the chicken I wished for some BBQ sauce or something to use with the chicken. Nevertheless, I would definitely get this again!

We also ordered the Olaf Cupcake: a chocolate cupcake with a marshmallow frosting topping. The chocolate cupcake had no chocolate flavor. All the flavor came from the delicious frosting. Unfortunately, the frosting is sweet and 'gets to you' by the end. A little more chocolate flavor would have been nice.

The best part of the experience was after our order, we sat down and they brought the food to us! The restaurant was not crowded at all - there was ample room between the tables. When we were done we could just walk away and they clean the tables for you.

When they delivered the food, they also delivered plastic silverware that looked like it was made with metal, wet ones to cleanup afterwards, and hard candy.

The cost (after our annual pass discount) was around $14 per person. If that sounds like a lot of money for dinner in Disney World? You may need to adjust your expectations because $14 is not a bad price for an adult dinner (teenage boys eat more than adults do).
