We Had High Hopes for Disney’s New Loaded Hot Dogs…But Man Were We Disappointed

It’s time to EAT, people!

Cinderella Castle

We keep a close eye out for any changes to the food up for grabs in Disney World. Lately, we’ve clued ya in that TONS of new treats are on the way — and we’ve told you all about a secret menu or two! Now, we spotted some new options for munching over at Magic Kingdom.

Friar’s Nook is known for its tater tots (YUM), but they tend to love switchin’ up their offerings. And now, they’re serving…hot dogs?! When we stopped by, we noticed 2 hot dog options (with those iconic tots, of course), had been added to the menu.

New menu items at Friar’s Nook!

Hey, we’re all for tryin’ something new! So we grabbed one of each and dug in.

Let’s get tasting!

We’re gonna kick things off with the Loaded Buffalo Chicken Hot Dog and Tater Bites. We gotta be real here…this one was WEIRD. The combination of the buffalo chicken and hot dog was strange — the flavors were too different to complement each other.

It’s a no from us!

And while the buffalo sauce itself tasted great, it made the hot dog bun all soggy. Yikes! All in all, this snack wasn’t our favorite.

We’ll pass on these!

The Loaded Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Hot Dog and Tater Bites was only slightly better. The flavors did match the hot dog vibe a little more, but the mac and cheese was pretty lackluster. Fortunately, the bacon was nice and flavorfulUnfortunately, we woulda liked to see it a little crispier.

Not our favorite, either!

So…what’s the scoop? Overall, both hot dogs were VERY meaty, with very little topping to balance out the taste. Unless you’re REALLY into hot dogs, grab those toppings with just the tots instead and skip the hot dog! Those tots offer a sturdy base, and they DON’T make the meal taste all funny.

Better luck next time!

If you’re all for hot dogs and wanna give ’em a try, you can get them for $11.49 apiece at Friar’s Nook! While they weren’t our favorite (womp womp), they would make for a filling meal. We’ll keep trying more new eats around Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB!
