DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
As you likely well know, a large part of Disney World's charm is its celebration of nostalgic Americana. It's the first thing that greets you as you enter Magic Kingdom, before you ever reach Cinderella Castle. You can expect, then, that finding a good burger in the most magical place on earth is nothing to worry about. There's probably one around every corner, right?
Well you're not wrong on that count, but we have to say, there are some exceptional examples of burger magic happening around WDW, and we're here to point out the top 7 of them for you here today. By the end of this list, you'll want to say to your friends, “I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!”
1. Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant—Commissary Lane, Disney's Hollywood Studios
Not only is the mere act of eating at Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant an experience in and of itself — I mean, you get to sit at a "car" table and watch cheesy old film clips while you eat, it's great — they also offer some pretty tasty grub. Check out their Drive-in BBQ Burger, for example. This thing is loaded with cheddar, bacon, house-made BBQ sauce, onion straws, and crispy-fried jalapeños. Whew!
2. D-Luxe Burger—Town Center, Disney Springs
D-Luxe Burger always, alwayslives up to its name. There's not a bad burger on their whole menu, if you ask us.
But, if we absolutely had to pick just one, we'd go with the Southern Burger, which starts with their signature beef blend of brisket, Angus, chuck, and short rib, and it only ramps things up from there by topping it with a fried green tomato, pimiento cheese, lettuce, grilled onion, and bacon. This classic burger makes nearly every Disney food reviewers' list, so you know it's good.
Another one from D-Luxe that's a hit with lovers of spicy food is the El Diablo Burger.This bad boy blends that same signature beef blend with chorizo sausage, then tops that with pepper jack cheese, fried banana peppers, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion, and chipotle mayonnaise. It'll have your tastebuds tingling in the best way!
3. Geyser Point Bar & Grill—Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort
When you think of bison meat, you might think it's the sort of thing that's far too lean to have much burger flavor. We're here to tell you though that the Bison Cheeseburger at Wilderness Lodge's Geyser Point Bar & Grill is (if you'll pardon the pun) always on point.
The bison patty is topped with Tillamook cheddar, bacon, sweet onion straws, lettuce, tomato, and most importantly, garlic aïoli and that crazy-addictive marion berry BBQ sauce.
