Roundup Rodeo BBQ, a new table service restaurant, will be opening soon at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we have a first look at a menu.

The Details

Located inside the park’s Toy Story Land, Roundup Rodeo BBQ is set amongst Andy’s toys, where Guests can find some fan-favorite Pixar characters.

Staying with the theme of using materials he has around his home, Andy roped together a new rodeo arena using cardboard boxes, tape, and some of his favorite games and playsets.

BBQ is a new food offering for Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and as an added bonus, seating is indoors with air conditioning.

The restaurant was first announced in April 2019, but due to the pandemic park closures, got pushed off schedule.

And now it’s finally scheduled to open at Walt Disney World on March 23, 2023.
