Atmosphere
STK definitely has more of a Vegas feel to it rather than a Disney feel, which can be great if that’s what you’re after!
There is both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as bar seating. Standard tables, chairs, and booths fill the sleek dining rooms.
The booths make you feel like you’re in a night club!
The decor is funky but elegant. They were really trying to work a look here.
The restaurant includes a large dining room on the main floor, an upstairs dining room, and a rooftop terrace – great for watching the Aerophile fly high in the sky!
Eats
Now time for the most important part, the FOOD! Make sure you ask your server for the daily or seasonal specials, as they are not on the menu!
We were given disposable paper menus, due to the many health and safety precautions still in place, and you can also scan a QR code to view the menu on your phone!
There’s a lot going on here:
If you want to get a better look here it is! First up, Salads and Starters.
The Entree menu is pretty beefy (see what we did there?) with primarily lots of sandwich-style options. If you didn’t figure out their schtick with the name STK, it’s apparent in their STEAK options (Get it?? It’s like their keyboard broke or all the vowel keys had crumbs stuck under them!). That’s the star of the show here. You’ll notice the “we forgot how vowels go in sentences” speak on other spots on the menu as well. 🙂
Any steak can be topped with fancy-pants Toppings and/or Sauces.
Thought you were getting Sides included with those pricey steaks? Think again. Sides cost extra — and they’re not cheap considering!
Yep, that’s $40 for 3 small side dishes of mac and cheese. Your eyes don’t deceive you. It’s just pricey here. Desserts are fairly standard here with things like chocolate cake and cheesecake.
The Cocktail menu is robust (notice the use of wtrmln wtr in a few drinks? Those darn vowel keys acting up again! 😂). They also have a selection of beer and wine available.
We started, as you do, with a drink! We chose the Strawberry Cobbler for $20. Yeah, $20!!! A hefty price tag for a cocktail, even in Disney, but there was no cheaper choice as ALL of their cocktails go for $20, yikes!
The Strawberry Cobbler has Belvedere Vodka, muddled strawberries, and a graham cracker rim. It was absolutely delicious! But, verrrry sweet, so we couldn’t have more than 1, and we don’t really want to since, again, they’re $20!
This cocktail is like drinking your dessert – delicious but dangerous — we couldn’t taste the alcohol at all (and it’s basically just a straight-up glass of vodka with some strawberries!).
If you LOVE strawberries and sweet, fruity drinks you’ll definitely enjoy the Strawberry Cobbler. But, if you like to taste the alcohol in your drinks then you’ll want to pass!
Next we moved on to the appetizers, we picked the Lil’ BRGs for $21 and the Blue Iceberg for $19.
The Lil’ BRGs are two mini burgers with wagyu beef, sautéed onions, tomato, pickles, and special sauce (that seemed to use like Thousand Island dressing) on toasted sesame buns and served with ketchup!

The burgers are a bit small for the price, but they are made of wagyu beef, so that’s understandable! However, the lunch offering of a Wagyu Burger and fries is $15, so you could get a large burger and fries instead of two bite-sized ones for less than the appetizer!
Moving on to the Blue Iceberg, a HUGE salad that the restaurant will chop for you (if you ask) and can easily be split between two people. It has Nueske’s applewood smoked bacon, Point Reyes blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, and a creamy dressing.
We LOVED this salad! It was so fresh and the portions of the bacon and blue cheese are generous. If you like blue cheese dressing or blue cheese in general, this salad is for you! It’s nothing out of the ordinary, but it’s reliably delicious!
Moving on to the main course, we ordered the 14 oz NY Strip for $61 cooked to order and served with your choice of sauce.

We asked for our steak to be pre-sliced, which is an option you can ask for or you can have it served whole. The strip was cooked to exactly what we asked for, medium rare!
It was juicy, flavorful, and had a slight char on the edges. The flaky salt on top of the meat was a great touch! The portion was filling and the steak honestly didn’t even need the sauce, it held its own!
The steaks are nice cuts of meat. If you’re a steak person, we think you’ll enjoy the seasoning and preparation. However, for the price point, we would much prefer if they included sides! The sides are a la carte (common at nicer steak joints), however they ARE larger portions so they can be shared.
For our side, we went with the Mac & Cheese trio for $39. Almost $40 for 3 mac & cheeses is pretty outrageous if you ask us, but it’s even MORE outrageous if you order each mac & cheese separately, which is $64!!! Cheesus!

The lobster version was the same deal, it seems they just add on the toppings to the regular mac and cheese and then add a little extra cheese and melt it together. It tasted…like you threw a hunk or two of lobster on top of mac and cheese! Not bad, but we certainly expect more for that pricetag! 😂 That seems like lazy mac-making to us!
The regular mac & cheese was super creamy, cheesy, and had the perfect amount of salt! Since the trio comes family-style, it’s definitely a good buy for the table as everyone will be able to try the different options! And who doesn’t love mac & cheese? That said, you can get a good feel here for the portions: SMALL. We’re not exactly talking massive amounts of mac for the price.
Now for dessert! They’re one of the more affordable things you can get on the menu, as they are all $12. We just had to try the Warm Chocolate Chip Cookie!
It came served in a small skillet with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream and drizzled with chocolate and caramel sauce. Is your mouth watering yet?!

You can easily share the cookie between 2 people, or more if you just want a few bites, or you can really indulge and get it all for yourself (we’ll be eating our own, thanks)!
While not a very unique dessert, it’s a classic and a crowd pleaser! A warm skillet cookie is a thing of beauty. But, if you’re in Orlando during the sweltering Summertime, maybe you’d want to try something a bit less heavy! The cookie is great to warm you up in chillier weather.
Nosh or Not
STK is the way for you if:
- You’re looking for a nice relaxing lunch with great food, great service and you’re willing to pay for it.
- You want a dinner with a fun atmosphere and high energy.
- You’re celebrating a special occasion, and want it to be memorable!
Steer clear if:
- You have a limited budget and don’t want to spend a boatload of money on one meal.
- You have little kids who would be much happier in a less upscale, more kid-friendly atmosphere.
- You don’t eat meat, as there aren’t a lot of options for vegetarians and vegans!

“$40 Mac & Cheese and $20 Drinks? That’s Cheap Compared to the Rest of This Disney World Restaurants.”
What moron would pay this and think it cheap? come on Disney, give people with a brain some credit.
JJones says
$16 for Tater Tots, since they are using the brand name they must be the frozen ones we all know. And if someone put salt like that on my steak I would send it back.
Pris says
We tried STK when we were there last Nov and the food and service were wonderful. We are going again in Oct and already have plans for another delicious meal. This has become one of our favorites next to Shula’s.
