Looking to dine in a far away galaxy or would you like to dine “on the dark side”?  Don’t miss Backlot Express: A Disney World Quick Service Dining Review and find out how!

Backlot Express: A Disney World Quick Service Dining Review

Nestled in the Echo Lake area of Hollywood Studios, you will find one of the best Quick Service restaurants around! Backlot Express is the only place available to dine on Star Wars themed offerings. This restaurant is pretty large, so finding a table is usually not a problem. There are eating areas outside also.

“May the FOOD be with YOU!”

My boys BEG (and of course I always give in-the food is fantastic) to dine here and it’s a great value. The portions are quite large! Our favorite is the “chicken and waffles” (and yes, the waffles are from the DARK SIDE) and the Royal Guard Burger! The Dark Side Chicken and Waffles are topped with Chicken Breast Nuggets served with Maple Syrup. Now the Royal Guard Burger is only for the “serious foodies”! This one comes with 1/3 lb Chargrilled Angus Beef Burger, topped with Barbecued Brisket, Pepper Jack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato and a Pickle on a Dark Bun served with Carrot Sticks or French Fries.Backlot Express: A Disney World Quick Service Dining Review

DessertsBacklot Express: A Disney World Quick Service Dining Review

The Backlot Express has two of the most sought after desserts this side of the galaxy! Let me just say: COMPLETE DELICIOUSNESS! These cupcakes are large enough to share, although I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT. Be greedy! It’s totally worth it.

  • BB-8 Lemon Cupcake with Vanilla Buttercream
  • Darth Vader Chocolate Cupcake with Peanut Butter Buttercream.
  • Chocolate mousse is also available if you are scared to tackle one of these cupcakes.

Allergy Friendly

There is also an allergy friendly menu available upon request.
