Walt Disney World is filled with so many great places to eat and drink, it is literally endless. One of our favorite places is Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant, located at Disney Springs. Being a mom of little children, we tend to choose places that will be exciting for both the adults and the kids. Raglan Road offers a great menu, as well as live entertainment and interaction with children.
We always make reservations ahead of time, but when we get there we request to sit by the stage. It is definitely worth the extra wait time to have a good seat there, especially if you have children. During the live performance, the Irish dancers stop by tables to invite children up on stage. They get to parade around the restaurant, hop on stage with the dancers, and even learn some Irish step dancing. My daughter loved being cheered on by the audience as she spun and twirled on stage. At the end of the performance, the children receive a certificate for participating.
The main stage isn’t the only place with entertainment; the outside patio often has live musicians as well. While we waited on our table, we were able to enjoy the sunshine, while listening to the music outdoors. My kids danced along to the music outside as well, which made waiting for a table much easier.
Some of our favorites from the menu:
- Scallop Forest (sea scallops in a golden batter, served on forks, with citrus lime dipping sauce and a sweet chili jam)
- Fish & Chips
- Braised Be Beef
- Shepherd’s to Die for Pie
I’m a fish lover, and my husband is more of a beef lover. There were plenty of options for both of us, along with some poultry options as well. The kids menu has the usual, mac n’ cheese, chicken fingers, burgers, etc. There are some delicious dessert offerings and plenty of specialty drinks, beers, and wine options.
If you’re looking for live music, yummy food, and a fun environment, then Raglan Road is the place to check out on your next visit.
