PHOTOS: The Turf Club Bar and Grill Has Reopened in Disney World

Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa was one of the first Disney World Resorts to reopen back in June 2020, but not everything has been available for guests staying at the hotel.

While many restaurants, shops, and amenities opened with the hotel, there was one restaurant that still remained closed — The Turf Club Bar and Grill. But, the wait is finally over! The restaurant is once again serving up popular dishes like the Cider-braised Mussels, the Grilled Pork Chip, or Braised Lamb Tagliatelle and we’re taking you along with us to check it out!

Atmosphere

The Turf Club Bar and Grill is located in Saratoga Springs Resort, next to the Lake Buena Vista Golf Course.

If you head inside the main building at Saratoga Springs and enter The Artist’s Palette, look all the way to your left for the sign that points toward Turf Club Bar & Grill. You’ll need to head down a hallway to get to the restaurant.

At the end of the hall, you’ll find a small room with some tables and the check-in counter. After you’re all checked in and your table is ready, you’ll be led to the one dining room.

The atmosphere here is dark and intimate, with wood accents all over and low lighting. It’s not a huge restaurant by any means, and the close-knit quarters means that it gets pretty loud in here.

If you don’t want to dine inside, you may also have the option to eat out on the patio. This would be an amazing view at sunset, and you would get the chance to watch the sun go down across the golf course and Disney Springs. (It’s just a little bit chilly to do that right now!)

At your table, you’ll be given a drink menu and a QR code for the main menu, which leads to Disney World’s website. Currently, most Disney World restaurants will also have paper menus available on request.

We were also given a small bread plate, a napkin, a fork, and a knife. We know what that means…bread service!

Menu

Right now, The Turf Club Bar and Grill is only open for dinner (from 5PM to 9:30PM). but you can still find several returning favorites on the menu, including entrées such as Prime Rib, Grilled Pork Chop, and Pan-seared Salmon.

For Appetizers, you can choose from an assortment such as New York Cider-braised Mussels, French Onion Soup, and Chopped Salad.

Each of the Kid’s entrées includes two sides from a selection that includes picks such as broccolini, green beans, and mashed potatoes.

Of course, desserts also are back on the menu, including New York Cheesecake, and Ricotta-Basil Gelato.

And for drinks, you can choose from an assortment of beers, wines, non-alcoholic cocktails, and speciality cocktails such as a Mint Julep!

We started out with some delicious dinner rolls at the beginning of our meal. Who doesn’t love free bread?!

For an appetizer, we chose the New York Cider-Braised Mussels for $18. Thankfully, they came with a little dish to put the shells in.

For entrees, both the Grilled Pork Chop…

…and the Braised Lamb Tagliatelle are great options. There are a lot of meat-forward dishes on this menu.

And for dessert, we chose the classic New York Cheesecake. Can’t go wrong with that!

But don’t forget about their iconic Ricotta Gelato, either! (We couldn’t pass up ordering one of these as well.)

All in all, we had a really delicious meal at The Turf Club Bar & Grill last night. We’re definitely interested in visiting again in the future! So if you’re staying at Saratoga Springs, OR you just want to make the trek out there to enjoy some yummy eats, make sure to stop by this restaurant on your next trip.
