Modern barbecue, a huge selection of bourbon, and a solid military discount in the heart of Disney Springs.
If you’re looking for bold flavors, quick service, and one of the best bourbon selections at Walt Disney World, The Polite Pig delivers. This popular Disney Springs spot blends fast-casual convenience with high-quality barbecue—and it’s a great option for military families looking to save a little while enjoying a great meal.
Location
The Polite Pig is located in the Town Center section of Disney Springs, near the Lime Garage entrance, and near favorites like Raglan Road and World of Disney. It’s an easy stop whether you’re just arriving at Disney Springs or making your way through the shopping district.
Ambiance
The Polite Pig has a modern, upscale take on a traditional barbecue joint. Inside, you’ll find a mix of wood, metal, and open kitchen views, giving it an energetic but relaxed feel.
Seating is available both indoors and outdoors, with a large covered patio that’s perfect on cooler Florida evenings.
One of the standout features here is the bourbon bar, which includes an impressive selection of bourbons, whiskeys, and even bourbon-infused cocktails. It’s a great spot for both families and adults looking to unwind with good food and a drink.
Menu
The menu focuses on modern barbecue with house-smoked meats and flavorful sides. You order at the counter, then grab a seat while your food is prepared.
Popular items include:
- Texas-style brisket
- Smoked pork shoulder
- Baby back ribs
- Brussels sprouts with chili-lime and cotija cheese
- Mac & cheese and other classic sides
One of the highlights is the variety of house-made sauces available at the table, allowing you to customize each bite.
And don’t overlook the drink menu—The Polite Pig is well-known for its bourbon selection and cocktails, making it one of the more unique quick-service locations at Disney Springs.
The Bar
One of the standout features of The Polite Pig—and something that sets it apart from most quick-service locations at Walt Disney World—is its impressive bar.
Inside, you’ll find a bar area featuring a huge assortment of bourbons and whiskeys, along with a variety of craft cocktails and local beers. The selection is surprisingly extensive for a quick-service restaurant, making this a destination in its own right for bourbon fans.
Step outside, and the experience continues with additional bar seating on the patio. The outdoor bar area offers a more relaxed, open-air setting, perfect for enjoying a drink while taking in the energy of Disney Springs.
Whether you grab a seat inside or outside, this is a great place to slow down for a bit—something you don’t always expect from a quick-service spot.

- Discount: 10% off your purchase
