The Polite Pig

The Write-Up

The full story

The Polite Pig does modern barbecue fast-casual style at Disney Springs, lively and chill with counter service that keeps things moving. Coffee-rubbed brisket, the Southern Pig sandwich, waffle fries, and sweet potato tots fill the tray, and guests call the mac and cheese the best they have ever eaten anywhere. Everything is built to melt in your mouth in guests' words, with bourbon and drinks on tap to round out the order.
