Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'

The Write-Up

The full story

Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' brings a homey Florida farmhouse feel to Disney Springs, generous and welcoming from the first plate. Art's Famous Fried Chicken leads, with Thigh High Chicken Biscuits, Church Lady Deviled Eggs, and Momma's Mac & Cheese piled in portions guests describe as huge. Save room for Hummingbird Cake or Shine Cake, and expect a wait that regulars say is worth it.
