> **Quick Answer:** The best Disney Springs restaurants for most budgets are Earl of Sandwich or Chicken Guy! under $15 a person, Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' or Raglan Road at $15 to $35, and Morimoto Asia or The BOATHOUSE at $35 to $60\. Most Disney Springs restaurants take the Disney Dining Plan, and four signature spots cost two table-service credits at dinner. Book table service up to 60 days out; counters need no reservation.

Disney Springs is the one part of Walt Disney World where dinner doesn't need a park ticket. That makes it the easy answer for an arrival night, a rest day or a local date night, and the hard part is choosing: Disney lists dozens of places to eat there, from pretzel kiosks to steakhouses.

We sorted them by what a family actually spends. The tiers below use Disney's own price bands for each restaurant (per adult, before tax and tip), and our picks lean on the numbers that matter to a planner: the price band, how far a Dining Plan credit goes, and how easy the place is to fit into an evening.

## Disney Springs restaurants ranked by budget

| Budget per adult | Our picks                      | Service       | Dining Plan            |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------- | ---------------------- |
| Under $15        | Earl of Sandwich, Chicken Guy! | Quick service | 1 quick-service credit |
| $15 to $35       | Homecomin', Raglan Road        | Table service | 1 table-service credit |
| $35 to $60       | Morimoto Asia, The BOATHOUSE   | Table service | 2 credits at dinner    |
| Not on the plan  | STK, Wine Bar George           | Table service | Pay cash               |

## Under $15: the counters that feed a family fast

Earl of Sandwich is the value pick of the whole district. Sandwiches run roughly $7 to $10, it serves breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, and one meal uses one quick-service credit. If you're starting a Disney Springs morning early, it's an easy breakfast stop.

Chicken Guy! is the kid-friendly backup: tenders, sauces, done. Morimoto Asia Street Food and D-Luxe Burger sit in the same under-$15 band if someone in the group wants Asian street food or a burger instead. All of them take a quick-service credit, so plan guests can treat this tier as already paid for.

## $15 to $35: the sit-down sweet spot

This is where most families should land for a relaxed dinner. Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' does Southern comfort food (the fried chicken is the headline) and adds a brunch menu. Raglan Road is the pick when you want a night out without paying for a show: the dining room has a bandstand and a stage for Celtic dancers, and entrees span about $12 to $41.

Both cost one table-service credit, the same as any standard sit-down meal on the plan, so they're the easy way to get a full dinner out of a single credit. The Edison, Paradiso 37 and Planet Hollywood sit in this band too if those two are booked.

## $35 to $60: where a splurge makes sense

Morimoto Asia is our top splurge, and the reason is timing. Dinner costs two table-service credits, but [lunch costs just one](https://touringplans.com/disney-springs/dining/morimoto-asia?ref=stackthemagic.com), so plan guests get the same dining room for half the credits by eating earlier. Cash payers save too: Disney notes lunch generally costs less than dinner.

The BOATHOUSE is the waterfront seafood-and-steak option, with vintage amphibious cars cruising the lake outside. It's two credits at both meals. Paddlefish and Jaleo also cost two credits at both meals, though Disney lists Jaleo a band lower, at $15 to $35; [Touring Plans' Dining Plan guide](https://touringplans.com/walt-disney-world/disney-dining-plan?ref=stackthemagic.com) names all four as signature-priced.

Our take: if you're on the plan, spend two credits here only when the room itself is the point (a celebration, a lake view at sunset). Otherwise two one-credit dinners at Homecomin' and Raglan Road go further.

## Which Disney Springs restaurants take the Dining Plan

Most of them, even though many are run by outside restaurant groups. The plan only comes with an eligible Disney resort stay, so it's sold with a package, to Annual Passholders or to DVC members staying on points. A handful of Disney Springs restaurants don't take it at all, including STK, Summer House on the Lake and Wine Bar George, and Gideon's Bakehouse is off the plan too.

Before you lock in a plan around Disney Springs meals, check each night in our [Dining Planner](https://www.stackthemagic.com/dining-planner/), which shows the credits, price band and reservation status for every Disney Springs restaurant in one place. Whether the plan pays off at all is its own question, answered in [our 2027 Dining Plan breakdown](https://www.stackthemagic.com/disney-dining-plan-worth-it-2027/).

## Getting a table: reservations and walk-ups

Table-service restaurants at Disney Springs book through Disney the same way park restaurants do: 60 days before your dining date, from 6:00 AM Eastern. Disney hotel guests can book up to 10 days of their stay from 60 days before check-in. The Edison also takes bookings through OpenTable, and you can browse every venue on [Disney's Disney Springs dining page](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/disney-springs/?ref=stackthemagic.com).

Quick-service spots need no reservation, and some (B.B. Wolf's Sausage Co. and Amorette's Patisserie among them) take mobile orders through the My Disney Experience app. For a Friday or Saturday dinner, book the sit-down; for a weeknight, a counter plus a lake walk is hard to beat.

So where would we send a family of four with one evening? Homecomin' if you can get a table, Earl of Sandwich if you can't, and a Morimoto Asia lunch if you're on the plan and want the splurge for half the credits.
