Disney’s Toy Story Land Restaurant Undergoes Changes

A delicious dose of the Toy Story film franchise has landed at Walt Disney World Resort’s Hollywood Studios theme park. If you haven’t already had a chance, it’s time to join the toys in Andy’s room for divine barbecue meats and eats at Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land.

The popular Disney restaurant has recently experienced a few changes, including menu updates that you’ll want to check out below.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ Entree

Guests can find Roundup Rodeo BBQ near the entrance to Toy Story Land in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The restaurant is close to Slinky Dog Dash and Toy Story Mania, two of the Park’s popular attractions. For additional dining in Toy Story Land, Woody’s Lunch Box offers a more casual Quick Service dining experience.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a Table Service dining location. This means that advanced dining reservations are required to enjoy a meal at this restaurant. Guests are able to make reservations online or through the My Disney Experience app up to 60 days before their visit. We highly recommend looking for a reservation as soon as possible since this is a popular new dining experience.

You will feel like a toy while dining at Roundup Rodeo BBQ. The immersive theming brings you into Andy’s toy rodeo, complete with everything from train sets to Western towns. Though this is not a character dining restaurant, characters from your favorite Toy Story films are represented throughout the decor and the scenes you see throughout the restaurant.

Disney Cast Members add to the fun by addressing you as toys and helping you jump into the rodeo while you dine. Don’t forget to freeze if you hear Andy coming!

Menu Options: 2024 UPDATE!

Roundup Rodeo BBQ Drinks

The restaurant serves family-style BBQ entrees for lunch and dinner. All meals start with The Prospector’s Homemade Cheddar Biscuits with Sweet Pepper Jelly.

If you’ve dined at Roundup Rodeo below, take note as guests were formerly invited to enjoy three different salads, including the Rootin’ Tootin Tomato Salad, Rex’s Romaine and Kale Salad, and Wheezy’s Watermelon Salad. In recent changes for 2024, guests will only be provided with two salads, including Rootin’ Tootin Tomato Salad and Wheezy’s Watermelon Salad.

Then, guests can choose a platter of house-smoked BBQ meats or Trixie’s Plant-based Trio for their main entrees.

Another update however for 2024 has been made with the side options. Previously, guests could choose four side options from a list of eight selections, including Mean Old Potato Salad, The Married Spuds, The Claw! Veggie Slaw, Force Field Fried Pickles, Campfire-roasted Vegetables, Slinky Doooooooooog’s Mac & Cheese, Buckin’ Baked Beans, or Cowpoke Corn on the Cob. Now, guests will be provided with five sides without selection, including Potato Barrels, The Claw! Veggie Slaw, Slinky Doooooooooog’s Mac & Cheese, Buckin’ Baked Beans, and Cowpoke Corn on the Cob.

Finally, choose a dessert from Bo’s Lemon and Blueberry Cheesecake, Billy’s Chocolate Silk Pie, Goat’s Apple Pie, Gruff’s Peach-Strawberry Pie, and Cupcake à la Forky.

The restaurant offers allergy-friendly menus for all courses, but guests must speak to a Cast Member upon arrival about their allergy request. The complete menus can be found on the My Disney Experience app.

Please note that Guests using the Disney Dining Plan will still be required to have an advanced dining reservation.

Reservations Open Soon for Roundup Rodeo BBQ at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

At the end of January, Disney announced that the new table service restaurant, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, opening in Toy Story Land, will open to guests on March 23, 2023. Until now, we didn’t know when reservations would open up for the restaurant. Thankfully, we now have a date. 

Below, Disney also shared a behind-the-scenes look at the restaurant.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ food

It all sounds so enticing! With the opening on March 23, 2023, booking dates for reservations have yet to be announced. We do suspect, however, that when dining reservations do open for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, they will be extremely popular.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ Toy Story Land is a very busy portion of the theme park as Disney welcomes Park Guests to explore Andy’s backyard, which is filled with “toys” such as the Slinky Dog Dash roller coaster, Alien Swirling Saucers attraction, and the fan-favorite Toy Story Mania ride experience. Additionally, Woody’s Lunch Box is a quick-service restaurant in Toy Story Land that has proven to be a very popular restaurant option. We expect the same popularity for Roundup Rodeo BBQ.
