Tiana’s Bayou Adventure-Inspired Lavender Lemonade, Gumbo, and Hot Honey Chicken Hit the Spot, Beignets Fall Short

Golden Oak Outpost at Magic Kingdom has new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure-inspired lavender lemonade, beignets, gumbo, and hot honey chicken.

People are lined up in front of a rustic building with a sign reading "Golden Oak Outpost." The area is surrounded by trees, and some people are seated in a shaded area to the left.

Golden Oak Outpost is a quick-service kiosk near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, between Frontierland Adventureland.

Golden Oak also sells bottled beverages and water.

Two plates of food sit on a table: one with sweet potato fries and a savory dish, the other with sweet potato fries and fried chicken. A milkshake and three beignets are also on the table.

Hot Honey Chicken with Sweet Potato Fries – $9.99

Chicken Nuggets tossed in Hot Sauce-Honey served with New Orleans Olive Relish and Cajun-spiced Sweet Potato Fries

A plate of fried chicken pieces topped with peppers and sauce, served alongside seasoned sweet potato fries on a paper plate.

This chicken is better than your standard Walt Disney World chicken nuggets. The sweet potato fries were also delicious and had a nice kick. The chicken nuggets weren’t as spicy as the fries. It was enjoyable and we ate every bite.

Shrimp Gumbo with Sweet Potato Fries – $11.99

Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo topped with Cajun-spiced Sweet Potato Fries

A paper plate containing sweet potato fries and a portion of shrimp étouffée garnished with herbs, set on a wooden table.

This was a favorite in our group. The flavors are on point. The gumbo is even better when combined with the sweet potato fries. For only two dollars more, this is a better option than the chicken. It leaves us wanting more.

Tiana’s Famous Beignets – $6.99

Light, sweet, and fluffy Beignets with Powdered Sugar and drizzled with Honey

Three powdered sugar-covered beignets in a white paper tray on a wooden table.

The flavor of these beignets is great. You can taste a lot of honey. There’s an overly gratuitous portion of powdered sugar. The inside of the beignets are delicate and soft but the exteriors are a little tough, leaving us to think they had been sitting around for a while. There are better beignet options at Walt Disney World, namely at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort.

Frozen Bayou Lavender Lemonade – $6.29

Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with flavors of Lavender inspired by New Orleans’ influence on American Cuisine

A frozen lemonade beverage with a lemon slice and a lavender flower garnish, served in a clear plastic cup on a wooden table.

This is extremely refreshing on a hot summer day. The lavender flavor was quite prominent — perhaps a little too much so. But there were few complaints as the drink was still delicious. A little less lavender would’ve gone a long way.
