It has a good tavern menu with a focus on barbecue. I won’t say that it’s the greatest barbecue I ever had, but I do like the assortment of spicy, sweet, and mustard sauces that are served in bottles along with it. The thing that distinguishes it from a barbecue restaurant is that there are a lot of other interesting items.
My wife had a Caesar salad with Cajun shrimp on it that was outstanding. The seasoning on the shrimp was really authentic.
The service was pleasant, and the interior is a good ambiance for a tavern, although the lighting is a bit painful.
We enjoyed our lunch at this bustling restaurant at Disney Springs. The main room is very large and can be quite noisy, but we asked to be seated in the front room near the bar, which was much quieter.
The menu has a lot of appealing options, so it was hard to decide.
We ultimately chose to begin with the ahi tuna tostadas, which were absolutely delicious. The serving size was small for the price, but worth it.
We also had the highly touted cheesy dream puffs, but were disappointed in them. Ours didn’t look much like the pictures I saw online, and there wasn’t much evidence of any cheese. They were certainly not puffy; they were more like somewhat stale Yorkshire pudding. Definitely not dreamy.
For one entree we had the pepperoni pizza, to which we added fresh basil. If you like thin crust pizza, this is a great one, with a slightly charred edge and a very thin crust that stands up well to the delicate sauce and cheese and very flavorful pepperoni.
I also agree with raves about the picnic fried chicken basket. The chicken tenders were beautifully breaded and fried to a crispy crunch with a tender inside, and the piquant barbecue sauce was a great accompaniment. The shoestring fries that came along with it were plentiful and nice and crisp.
Service was attentive, particularly considering how busy the restaurant was. I would definitely go back here.
This is a very pleasant all-day eatery overlooking the pool of the Melia hotel.
We started with the baked potato skins, which were nicely crisped and amply topped with bacon, cheese, and green onions, and served with a cup of sour cream. Classic pub food.
For our mains we had two specials, the crispy fish sandwich and the quesadilla. Both were good. I particularly liked the salad that came with the sandwich (fries were another option).
There is also an extensive pizza menu (served until late) and a selection of pastas and burgers.
Nicole was a great server. In addition, everyone we encountered from the hotel front desk to the restaurant hostess, to the food runners was very friendly. A nice experience.
Although this place is focused on custom burgers with an assemble-it-yourself side of the menu devoted to creating any combination you want, there are also quite a few other choices. We decided to try the combination ahi and ceviche bowl and one of the flatbreads featuring buffalo chicken and blue cheese crumbles. Both of them were excellent. The space is large and bustling but is nice when the roll-up doors are open into the outside. Service was pleasant.
Nice selection of beers on tap, particularly if you’re into IPAs and lighter styles. Not too much for us porter and stout lovers, but I did really like the non-alcoholic FLVR porter I had from a can.
The Everything Pretzel was a nice twist on a standard. Chicken wings are straightforward— simply deep fried, I had mine with the Sticky Korean sauce, which was good.
Chicken Ceasar Salad wrap was also good. Service was friendly.
What a beautiful job they did redesigning the interior of this space as a Victorian-era English pub! From the amazing ceiling to the Victoria artwork to the perfect lighting levels, they did everything just right.
There is also an amazingly cozy speakeasy through a hidden entrance!
The menu is a mix of English pub food and American sports bar.
Service is extremely attentive, so I’m sure this place will be a big hit.

*** (3 stars)
This is a combination sports bar and seafood place, focusing on mostly fried seafood dishes the way you might get them in Boston, or the way people think you might get them in Boston. There's nothing great about the place except the decor, which is pretty good, and the nice location on Celebration's waterfront. But there's nothing terrible about it either. The best thing we had was the lobster roll, which had a reasonable amount of lobster in it, although it was priced accordingly. The sports bar food was less good. The potato skins and chicken wings were just OK. Spicy tuna dip was a poor choice. It was basically really liquid tuna sandwich filling, and not spicy at all. There is a lovely outside area dedicated to dining with dogs, so if you're a dog watcher, it's a great place to visit lots of canine friends.

Solid food and service in a shotgun pub with a traditional design. The messy burger is a popular choice, and would indeed have been messy–or perhaps impossible–to eat if I hadn't taken a knife and fork to it. Great service from the solitary server handling the whole place.

More of a sports bar/fantastic restaurant than a pub, but they do have a great selection of beers on tap. BBQ chicken Hawaiian pizza was okay but the crust want great. The BBQ Bacon Cheeseburger was excellent. Friendly service and open late.
This is a nice sports bar at the rear of the MGM Grand. There are lots of large screens so it’s a great place to watch a game.
The beer flights give you lots of flexibility to sample four of your choice, and there is an interesting menu, with excellent burger options. We also really like the salmon dip appetizer which was plenty for several people to share. Service was quick.
