Have you ever wandered into a place and felt like you really shouldn’t be there? Yeah, we have too. This Disney World restaurant makes us feel exactly like that!

ABC Commissary at Disney’s Hollywood Studios makes us feel like we’ve wandered backstage and shouldn’t be there! It is, what we believe to be, Hollywood Studios’ hidden gem when it comes to dining. When stacked up against Woody’s Lunchbox, the newest Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and even Mama Melrose, you’d think ABC Commissary doesn’t stand a chance: but it does and then some!

ABC Commissary is a quick service restaurant at Hollywood Studios located to the left of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway when facing the attraction and near the Sci-Fi Dine-In Restaurant.

This restaurant feels like you’re on the backlot of a movie and have stepped into the cafeteria of a movie set! It almost feels illegal to sit in the seats and stare at all of the memorabilia adorning the building; We feel less like guests and more like movie extras!

We’ve had mixed feelings about ABC Commissary in the past, so we’re back to try out some new items we haven’t tried before and see how our feelings have changed! But how do you feel about it? If you’re not sure, we’ve got all of the details to help!

Atmosphere

We love how close ABC Commissary is to everything! In a decently centralized location, you can get to Batuu, Toy Story Land, and Mickey & Minnie’s without trekking across the park!

When you head inside you’ll see lots of seating, palm trees, and a wide open ordering counter. There is still mobile ordering available at this location but you can also go inside and order with a cashier!

We Teach You How To Mobile Order Here!

Once you’ve got your food you can choose a seat in one of the two large dining areas on either side of the counters when you walk in.

You can also choose to sit outside which is what we did when we visited!

Now time for what you came here for, the food!

Food

There’s a decent variety of food on this menu! Adult entrees have a nice mix of things for everyone, even plant based eaters.

Side options are pretty versatile as well!

Kids have four options to choose from!

Don’t forget dessert and drinks!

They also have alcohol options as well!

Drinks

Starting off with drinks, we chose the Strawberry Lemonade Slushy for $6.49! The frozen slushy is made with Minute Maid Lemonade and is a delicious balance of tart and sweet.

To be honest, we were scared at first, as the last time we had this we thought it was too sweet. This time, it was the perfect drink to cool down with on what was a really hot day in February!

We thought the drink was just sweet enough to not be overwhelming and the tartness of the lemonade helped cut through the sweetness even more. Be sure to drink it fast though, it melted for us within mere minutes!

Food

We chose to try the California Burger for $13.29! We thought it was important to try a plant based option and it did not disappoint, it was actually our favorite thing on the menu that we tried! This burger is a plant based patty with grilled peppers and onions served with a Sriracha mustard and “mayonnaise” ketchup blend. It receives your traditional lettuce and tomato and we chose the steak fries as our side option.

Everything about this item was delicious. The patty was flavorful and juicy, which came as a shock to us as we were expecting something drier. The Sriracha mustard was just spicy enough to elevate the spices of the burger and bring out the flavors of the grilled vegetables.

The fries were standard, and while a little on the dry side, it was nothing that a little dipping sauce couldn’t fix. The burger was truly the stand-out of the meal and we’re still thinking about it! Any plant-based eater will love this dish. While you may be disappointed in the fries, opt for another option.

Our next meal that we chose was the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese for $11.99! This is not your typical grilled cheese, with a toasted sourdough topped with buffalo chicken, monterey, cheddar, provolone, and cream cheese served with a buffalo sauce! We chose the arugula salad as our side.

We did not care for this meal. The bread was extremely dry and the buffalo chicken was stringy, which was a little off-putting. We thought the flavors didn’t meld well together and were overall just a little disappointed with this dish. The arugula salad won us over and definitely became the star. While a little oily, the cranberries and pecans were a delicious touch.

We know that this dish is a fan-favorite and we typically love eating it! We think it may just have been a one-off meal and don’t think that our thoughts on this dish should be the end-all-be-all of the sandwich. Given we typically love this grilled cheese, we definitely suggest trying it for yourself, you may end up really liking it!

We finished off our meal with what we think is a really delicious and delectable dessert! We tried the mint chocolate chip cheesecake for $5.79. This dessert is a chocolate cheesecake topped with a chocolate ganache and whipped mint cream topping.

This is one of the best desserts we’ve been fortunate enough to have. We thought the chocolate cheesecake was rich but not rich enough to be sickeningly sweet. The crumb bottom was soft enough to meld with the cheesecake base but offered enough texture to not be one-note.

The inside was smooth with a nice soft mousse like texture to it. Cheesecake is hard to not have become lumpy and this was incredible and impressive.

The whipped topping was delicious and not frosting which was a pleasant surprise! If you don’t love chocolate, you’d probably not like this but if you’re a mint fan like us, this is for you!

Overall

If you want a quick, but versatile selection of meals, this is the place for you! We always enjoy our meals here at ABC Commissary but if you’re looking for something elevated and table service, skip out on this place. The food is good for the price point and offers enough options for people to choose from!
