4. Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory (Disney’s Port Orleans—French Quarter)
If you’re looking for a distinctly Cajun/Creole kick to casual mealtime then you have to head to Sassagoula Floatworks and Food Factory. Everyday is Mardi Gras at this popular Port Orleans French Quarter establishment, with all those authentic enticements straight from New Orleans as well as other less regionalized familiar favorites. For breakfast you may want to take in the Wolferman’s English Muffin Breakfast Sandwich of ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, and maple-bacon jam. Another suggestion is the Big Easy Breakfast entrée, which dishes out scrambled eggs, house-smoked ham or sausage, potato casserole, and a buttermilk biscuit. Lunch and dinner selections include hearty staples like ribs, fish, pizza, pasta, burgers, and salads, as well as more exotic eats. The Create-Your-Own Rice Bowl is a popular pick for many as are Southern classics like Jambalaya, Gumbo, Shrimp & Grits, and much more. And you can’t forget those signature desserts and baked goods, including the ever-popular Beignets, available in groups of three or six. You can also add in a dipping sauce like caramel, raspberry, or chicory coffee ganache. The Beignet Ice Cream Sundae is another signature special. Two other suggested dessert features are the house-made Pecan Pralines and the Louisiana-style King Cake.
