If you haven’t heard about us talk about this place a million times on our Instagram, then you should know it’s our favorite place to eat on Disney property!

The Boathouse is located at Walt Disney World in Disney Springs. If you’re parking your car, you can find it closest to the lime parking garage. It sits right on the water, in the Landing section of Disney Springs, which is about the center of the DS property.

Seating

If you’d like to dine inside, a reservation is highly recommend as it’s always super busy. Don’t fret though, if you’re like us and sometimes your plans are made on the fly, seating inside at the bar and outside on the dock, is first come first serve. So Caela and I usually walk right through the restaurant, head straight out to the back, and find a table outside (they do have heat lamps when it gets chilly)! Depending on the weather though, we will try and scope out seats at the bar inside. Since it’s usually just the two is us, its fairly easy to get a seat. If you plan to visit with a larger party, reservations are probably a good idea, but there are tables outside that will seat 4 or more.

THE FOOD

You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, it’s all so good and the drink menu is impressive! From beers, to crafted cocktails, to lots of wine, there is something for everyone. The Duck Duck Razz is very popular. It’s Stoli Raz, peach schnapps, blue curaçao, lemon juice and simple syrup; topped with a little mini rubber duck, it’s super cute. Caela and I usually stick to our regular ice waters and moscato every time we go.

We start each meal asking for the bread rolls 🤣 if you’re seated inside I believe they automatically deliver them to your table but if not you just have to ask for them! Since we mostly sit outside or at the bar we ask for them when we order our drinks. Best part is they are complimentary! Thick, fluffy, warm, & served with honey butter, they are AMAZING.

The firecracker shrimp are phenomenal. I’m drooling right now thinking about them. We get those almost every single time we go!

PRO TIP: you can ask for anything on their menu to be a half portion!! So if you’re up for trying multiple things but want smaller portions definitely order this way! ***The firecracker shrimp pictured below is a HALF portion! Caela and I had also split the lobster roll with a wedge side salad. They were kind enough to give us our own separate plates, so those are also half portions pictured.

We’re also big fans of the oysters. Those can be ordered by the half dozen or dozen. Our favorite ones to order are the Lucky Dux. They can be pricy but worth the money if you’re looking to splurge. They have a handful of other oyster selections too so you’re not limited to just one!

We tend to be creatures of habit and order the same things off the menu ever single time we go 🤣 We love the salads, they are so fresh. I (Kalyn) LOVE the chopped salad. It’s an iceberg-romaine lettuce blend with chicken, salami, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, and cheese. Caela normally gets the wedge or caesar! We’ve also have had the shrimp & andouille mac and cheese, duo chips and dip, the “yacht club” club, and a few other things. You can never go wrong!

As for the kids menu, it’s decently priced. I included a picture of their entree menu below. If they aren’t a fan a seafood, they do have a few other options to choose from!
