Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a tribute to the Golden Age of Hollywood — the 1930s and 1940s. Owing to this, the park boasts eating establishments that are inspired by the same era.

From the Sci-Fi Dine-In (a drive-in movie theater “under the stars”) to 50’s Prime Time Cafe (which is designed to be reminiscent of Mom’s Kitchen), several the restaurants evoke a different time and era… right down to the park’s Starbucks location, The Trolley Car Cafe. It is also home to one of the most upscale of the restaurants in the theme parks: The Hollywood Brown Derby.

And, of course, you can go waaaaay beyond Hollywood… and dine on the planet Batuu, by way of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.

Simply click on any of the links below to learn more about each restaurant and find all of our dining reviews for that location!

Hollywood Boulevard

Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant is one of the most delicious and historic dining experiences at Walt Disney World. While it’s only a replica of the famous Hollywood landmark restaurant, the food and service, I have to believe, are just as good at this Signature Restaurant. Make your reservations as soon as you can! (And note that the connected Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is located outside and welcomes walk-up guests.)

Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge gives guests the chance to enjoy the fine food featured at the signature restaurant (including the “Famous Cobb Salad”) along with cocktails or any selections from the full bar — all without an Advanced Dining Reservation. You can just walk up to enjoy your chance to “dine like the stars” in this refined setting.

Hot and Fresh Popcorn kiosks are located just outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre (home to Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway). They’re a great place to grab a bucket of popcorn (or possibly a hot Mickey Pretzel) when you’re craving a salty snack. You can often find some unique novelty items here, too! Specialty Souvenir Refillable Popcorn Buckets are frequently spotted (Star Wars and Toy Story Aliens are among the popular themes), as well as collectible soda sippers.

Ice Cold Stand awaits you in the entrance area of the park. Just inside the gates, you’ll find a small menu of hot and cold beverages (including Frozen Slushes) and even a few novelty ice cream treats like a Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bar to kick off your Hollywood Studios stroll.

The Trolley Car Cafe is home to Starbucks in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, featuring the same full specialty drink menu of your local Starbucks as well as pastries and snacks you’re familiar with from your Starbucks back home… plus several that are unique to Disney, and even to Hollywood Studios!

Echo Lake

50’s Prime Time Cafe serves up comfort food classics with a huge serving of FUN (and a side of nostalgia) at 50’s Prime Time Café! Don’t forget to eat all your veggies and keep your elbows off the table! Because at 50’s Prime Time Cafe, you’re back in Mom’s kitchen being served by your cousin, uncle, or some other “family member!”

The menu items include fantastic fried chicken, pot roast, meatloaf, and other favorites from your childhood. Great food, good prices, and a super fun atmosphere make up the 50’s Prime Time Café experience.

Backlot Express offers classic counter service entrees: you’ll find burgers, sandwiches, and salads on the menu. And, even though most Star Wars food items are found in Galaxy’s Edge these days, you’ll often spot a fun Star Wars-themed treat or two up for grabs.

This quick-service restaurant has plentiful seating and shelter from the sun and inclement weather via a large overhead warehouse roof. However, this is a popular eatery and can often get crowded inside. Many guests aren’t aware of the pleasant, covered outdoor seating area, which also provides plenty of shaded seating.

Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction is more than just a quick ice cream stop — it’s also a place where you can study up on some animation history. Make sure you stop and read the history of Gertie as you enjoy your Mickey Ice Cream Bar or soft-serve waffle cone.

Dockside Diner is open during lunch and dinner in the Echo Lake area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. There are plenty of tables right in front, with lots of umbrellas to keep guests comfortable. Though the menu has seen its share of changes, you’ll often spot items like foot-long hot dogs and milkshakes up for grabs.

Please note that this location is sometimes closed (or running for limited hours) on days when fewer crowds are anticipated. Look for nods to classic films such as Casablanca on the cargo surrounding the ship!

Epic Eats is your spot to grab something sweet. They offer funnel cakes (with some seriously epic topping options!), soft-serve ice cream, and ice-cold beverages.

Hollywood and Vine Restaurant offers a full Buffet for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner with an extra helping of FUN thanks to the presence of Disney characters! Party down with the Playhouse Disney Characters during Breakfast as you chow down on some great food at the Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine Breakfast! Though characters may vary, Fancy Nancy, Vampirina, Doc McStuffins, and Roadster Goofy are often your hosts for this high-energy a la carte breakfast! 

Lunch and Dinner at Hollywood & Vine are also character meals; however, rather than the Disney Junior characters, these mealtimes feature Minnie’s Seasonal Dine. Minnie Mouse hosts various “dinner parties” throughout the year, and she’s often joined by Mickey, Goofy, and Pluto!

Oasis Canteen serves up an assortment of mixed drinks and even offers a full bar. There’s no dedicated seating for this walk-up counter, but you’ll find some benches for relaxing right nearby surrounding the picturesque Echo Lake.

Peevy’s Polar Pipeline is a slightly hidden spot where you can find a refreshing, sweet frozen sip. Choices include Frozen Cokes and Frozen Lemonade, and a few other flavors. And of-age guests may choose to add a shot of rum or vodka, or order up a Jack Daniel’s and Coke.

Tune-In Lounge  is a well-kept secret, tucked between two restaurants — 50′s Prime Time Cafe and Hollywood and Vine — on Echo Lake.

Commissary Lane

ABC Commissary is where you can grab a quick service bite surrounded by posters featuring favorite shows presented by the ABC network at the ABC Commissary! Themed as a simple commissary for a production studio, ABC Commissary has a quick service menu featuring a few twists with an international flair. The dining room has a generous air-conditioned seating area indoors to accommodate the large crowds that dine during peak meal times.

Sci-Fi Dine In Picture this: you’re in a car at a drive-in watching silly, mid-century b movies about zombies and The Blob, when a server glides up to your table with a burger, shake, and some fries! Just about perfect, right? I think so, too.

Disney’s Sci-Fi Dine-In is an extraordinary restaurant that’s worth at least one try for the unique atmosphere, but I bet you’ll be coming back for more.

Grand Avenue

BaseLine Tap House is a great spot to grab a beer (try the Create-Your-Own Flight!) and take in the scene of Grand Avenue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Serving California beer and wine, along with a small bites menu, Baseline Tap House offers a bit of the west coast out east. Fitting since the Grand Avenue area (what remains of the former Streets of America section of the park) celebrates the city of Los Angeles.

Hollywood Studios Gelato Cart has landed on the scene to help you find a sweet treat to cool down. We’ve spotted this cute cart in Muppets Courtyard, but since it is technically on wheels, you never know where it might roll off to in the park… Simple scoops are served up here, featuring cold and creamy gelato in eight different flavors. Look for the featured Flavor of the Day, too!

Ice Cold Hydraulics is one of the newest additions to Hollywood Studios. Spotlight items on the menu include Candy Painted Cinnamon Rolls (mini cinnamon rolls topped with Coca-Cola-infused glaze and toasted nuts) and savory Bouncin’ Mini Churros (topped with Coca-Cola and bourbon candied bacon, sriracha aïoli, and scallions)!

Mama Melrose’s is all ready to treat you to the finest Italian dishes with California charm! The story is that Mama Melrose traveled to California to become an actor, but her Italian cooking was the real draw. The restaurant is now a combination of her two “heritages,” Italian and Californian!

This restaurant is inconsistent — sometimes it’s great, sometimes it leaves much to be desired. It’s a bit expensive for what you get, but when it’s good, it’s very, very good. I’d recommend it…with reservations.

PizzeRizzo serves up pizza in Counter Service fashion, in a restaurant “owned and operated” by none other than the Muppet Rizzo the Rat! Unique touches to the location include a “cheesy” banquet room decorated to host a wedding reception as well as a special booth that Rizzo keeps for his celebrity VIP (Muppets!) pals.

Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo  serves up quick service plated eats in a restaurant with a Delivery Shuttle docked right on top — hence Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo! Proprietor Chef Strono “Cookie” Tuggs runs the kitchen, having honed his skills in the kitchen of Maz Kanata. The menu of this restaurant includes regional delicacies like Fried Endorian Chicken Tip Yip and Smoked Kaadu Ribs!

Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo serves lunch and dinner to travelers from a galaxy far, far away…

Kat Saka’s Kettle has transformed everyone’s favorite grain (popcorn!) into an intergalactic snack! Black Spire Outpost — the village on the planet Batuu where Galaxy’s Edge is set —serves up flavored popcorn at Kat Saka’s Kettle with the sweet, spicy, and savory Outpost Mix!

The Kettle also serves “Buttered Blue Grains,” which — for Earth dwellers — is basically colored buttered popcorn. Kat Saka’s Kettle is home to the popular souvenir MSE-6 “Mouse” Droid Popcorn Bucket. You’ll also find the popular “Bottled Orb Soda” here (Coca-Cola beverages in special packaging unique to Galaxy’s Edge).

Milk Stand serves up Blue Milk AND Green Milk. Both milks were made famous by Luke Skywalker, who drank the original Blue Milk in Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope and Green Milk in Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi.

The milk stand serves both flavors as frozen beverages made with non-dairy rice and coconut milks. In Disney World, of-age guests may opt to order Blue Milk with rum or Green Milk with tequila.

Oga’s Cantina is a spaceport bar found in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Live your far, far away fantasy as you sip a bubbling brew and listen to beats provided by the famous, or infamous, robot DJ. Oga’s Cantina is well known for its concoctions — available with choices for kids and adults both — that feature “exotic ingredients using otherworldly methods, served in unique vessels.”

Ronto Roasters serves up sandwiches, snacks, and beverages. Ronto Roasters specializes in the Ronto Wrap, a handheld snack featuring spiced grilled sausage and roasted pork! And while the specialty of the house features grilled sausage, Ronto Roasters also serves some truly tasty plant-based options, as well.

Toy Story Land

Roundup Rodeo BBQ takes guests on a rootin’ tootin’ dining experience in a new play area: a RODEO arena, created by Andy himself! Andy has taken some of his favorite games and play sets to create the scene with both western toys and other items (like blocks, lights, cardboard cut-outs, and more) coming together to make a bright and colorful mash-up atmosphere. (In fact, you may even experience an “Andy’s Coming” moment!) You can see pictures more AND videos from INSIDE Roundup Rodeo BBQ HERE!

Woody’s Lunch Box Andy from Toy Story has taken his very own lunch box and thermos, and has used them to build a walk-up window Quick Service location that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner to all of us “toys” visiting Toy Story Land!

Fun twists on American dishes include a BBQ Brisket Melt. Totchos (tater tot nachos) are also available for lunch and dinner, and Lunch Box Tarts provide a sweet pastry option all day long.

Animation Courtyard

Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea kiosks are available around all of the Disney parks. At Hollywood Studios, you can find Joffrey’s at Sunset Boulevard, near Tower of Terror, and at Pixar Plaza.

Market is a little counter serves a limited menu of classic Disney Parks snacks including Mickey Pretzels and Churros. Market also serves non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages.

Neighborhood Bakery is located on Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ refreshed Pixar Plaza. The Neighborhood Bakery serves crowd favorites like Frozen Slushies. But the star of the show is the thick, rich chocolate-chunk Num Num Cookie! This cookie was a smash hit when it made its debut on Pixar Pier in Disneyland Resort, and Pixar Plaza (here at the Neighborhood Bakery and the nearby Market) is the only place you’ll find it in Walt Disney World!

Sunset Boulevard

Anaheim Produce  is where you’ll find fresh fruit, veggies and dip, packaged trail mix and more. But they also have Mickey Pretzels and frozen margaritas, if that’s what you’re craving!

Catalina Eddie’s is one of the counter service window options that make up Sunset Ranch Market. Quick service Italian dishes are on offer here with pizza and salad as the featured items. Located on Sunset Boulevard closest to the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster & Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, this modest Hollywood Studio’s eatery is just enough to settle a stomach after some thrilling attractions.

Fairfax Fare is where you can enjoy a hearty meal in the style of a California outdoor market while you hear the distant screams of guests on an elevator ride gone awry. Only in Hollywood! The menu here currently features an assortment of savory Waffle Bowls, including a plant-based option. Do note that seating is open-air, and while it offers plenty of shaded spots, it provides limited protection from inclement weather.

Hollywood Scoops is the place for hand-scooped ice cream! You’ll find Hollywood Scoops in the Sunset Ranch Market on Sunset Boulevard. The menu features sundaes, ice cream cups or cones, and some surprisingly over-the-top seasonal shakes.

KRNR The Rock Station is a food truck located just outside Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it’s a great place to stop for a quick snack. While the food truck serves a few savory snacks (you may spy Corn Dog Nuggets here!), the real showstoppers are the frozen treats, which include soft serve ice cream, root beer floats, and frozen lemonade.

Pretzel Palooza is where you can find, you guessed it, pretzels! You’ll find this cart right near the entrance of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith on Sunset Boulevard, so you can rock ‘n roll right on over to the Palooza before or after your ride on a super-stretch limo!

Along with the signature Mickey Pretzels, you can often find specialties here like the Sweet Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel and the Cheddar Jalapeno Stuffed Pretzel! But if you’re craving something cool, an assortment of ice cream novelties and drinks are also available.

Rosie’s All-American Cafe is an open-air Victory Garden that serves quick service classics like burgers and fries, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets. Rosie’s shares a large shaded outdoor seating area with the other counter service eateries that make up Sunset Ranch Market.
