VIDEO: Disney Quietly Shares the Latest Update on the New Roundup Rodeo Restaurant

Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is already something of a hidden gem when it comes to Walt Disney World foodie destinations, but this could all change once the land’s first table service restaurant opens.

Roundup Rodeo BBQ, a new table service restaurant set to serve up BBQ eats in a setting inspired by a western town and train station playset from the Toy Story franchise, was originally announced as an addition to Toy Story Land in 2019. Progress has been moving along on the construction site after a brief pause during the pandemic, and now we have an all-new look at some of the details coming soon to the Park’s next hit dining location.

On our last construction update, we shared aerial photos of progress on the exterior of the building, and now Disney has shared a look at some of the details, including menu items and table settings Guests can expect to see inside.

In a recent episode of Disney Files on Demand, a trip to the Flavor Lab revealed a ‘secret’ look at the upcoming Toy Story-inspired restaurant. Take a look at the clip below:

In the video, we can see a quick glimpse of Toy Story character designs and how they could be used on sauce containers, menu place settings, and more at the Roundup Rodeo BBQ Restaurant.

Like the rest of Toy Story Land, Guests dining at the new location will be magically shrunk down to the size of a toy so they can enter the restaurant that Andy built himself in his backyard using three cardboard boxes and some of his favorite toys.

Disney shared a brief description of the new restaurant in its initial announcement that reads:

Once inside, you’ll be surrounded by all of the rodeo festivities in-action as well as western town and train station play sets. And you just might spot some of your favorite Disney•Pixar characters scattered throughout the restaurant in the form of toys and game pieces including a toy version of Jessie riding on the back of a Trixie pull-toy and unique toy versions of Bo Peep and her sheep, all who appear to be performing in the rodeo together.

This immersive restaurant will surround guests with a kaleidoscope of toys, games, and playsets, providing yet another unique, fun, family-friendly dining experience that could only be had in Toy Story Land.

While we wait to try Roundup Rodeo BBQ for ourselves, don’t miss the existing dining location in Toy Story Land.  Woody’s Lunchbox serves up some of the best quick-service eats in the Park, including its famous Totchos and homemade pop tarts.

Disney has not yet confirmed an opening date for Roundup Rodeo BBQ, but we will continue to monitor progress on the new restaurant and will report back with updates as we have them here on Disney Tips.
