Suffice it to say — the dining options at Disney World are pretty eclectic.

If you’re looking for an affordable dinner where you can stretch your legs out and enjoy sit-down dining, head on over to Coronado Springs and pop into Rix Sports Bar & Grill!

Rix Sports Bar & Grill

Rix Sports Bar & Grill — formerly Rix Lounge — serves up plenty of sports action alongside a solid American fare menu.

For lunch and dinner services, you’ll find plenty of burgers, wings, nachos, and pub grub in addition to hand-crafted cocktails and local draft beers. This upscale bar is even open for breakfast!

Rix Sports Bar & Grill

We were blown away by the quality here in our last review, citing the portion size as ample and super flavorful. The atmosphere offers a normal and relaxing getaway from the business of a Disney vacation and we thought our service was excellent.

  • “Warmups” (Appetizers): $14-$20
  • Soups and Salads: $10-$16
  • Handhelds: $17-$25

Churro Iced Latte

All in all, it’s super tough to beat these prices ANYWHERE at Disney World, at least at sit-down restaurants.

HOWEVER, one other Disney World hotel sit-down restaurant is fairly comparable.

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

If you head over to Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resort, you’ll come across a hidden gem — The Fountain at the Dolphin!

The Fountain

Serving up comfort food, this cozy diner is known for its decadent milkshakes, hand-dipped ice cream cones, and sundaes.

You can also get some delicious burgers, sandwiches, hot dogs, chili, soup, and much more! Best of all, you can grab sweets and treats when you’re short on time at the to-go counter!

The Fountain

We recently reviewed The Fountain and really dug the Fountain Smash Burger, Burnt Ends & Pimento Melt, massive Pretzel and Cheese Dip, and Banana Pudding Milkshake!

Banana Pudding Milkshake

Overall, we’re big fans of this little American-themed diner. It serves up classic hits and is super laid back while allowing guests to easily get last-minute reservations. The dinner pricing is also really digestible, and is as follows (as of this writing):

  • Appetizers: $12-$15
  • Salads: $14-$24
  • Mains: $18-$23
  • Sides: $7-$9
  • Kids’ Meals: $10-$14
  • Milkshakes: $13-$18
  • Beverages: $4-$6
  • Alcoholic Beverages: $9-$16

Of note, only lunch and dinner are served here and the restaurant does NOT accept the Disney Dining Plan.
