Backlot Express

I’m not eating my food so might as well leave my review now. The food is all “premade” they kept saying, as in they can’t remove pickles from the cuban sandwich. I didn’t expect the Cuban to be great, but it was hard to even take a few bites. The pulled pork has no flavor, but tastes off. Ham is tasteless. This might be the worst sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Kids chicken strips were fine, macaroni wasn’t good per the kids. Fries were fine. Husband said the teriyaki bowl was pretty good. The line was unnecessarily slow because there was one cashier for everyone and yet people standing behind the counter doing nothing. You could see stacks of the food options heated and just piled up behind the counter… ugh. Absolutely wouldn’t recommend.

Backlot Express is just okay. We were there when it was not very busy and the food took a long time and one meal was incorrect. The teriyaki chicken bowl was pretty good, but did not come out hot at all. The wookie cookie is cute, but lacking. The oatmeal cookie itself had good flavor but seemed stale. The cream in the middle was overly sweet. I would not order this again, but I was glad I tried it.

I had high expectations for this cookie and was really let down. I saw this on social and immediately wanted to try it. My hope was that it would be soft and chewy cookies with cream cheese frosting in the middle...but I was wrong. The cookies here are on the crunchier side. As an oatmeal cookie lover, I do prefer them on the softer and chewier side. And because these were sandwiched with buttercream frosting, the eating experience was a challenge. Trying to bite through this cookie was just causing a huge mess with buttercream frosting spilling out all the sides. Having had the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie from Trolley Car Cafe earlier in the day, my expectations were high, but this cookie truly was a let down and would rather have the whoopie pie 10x over. If you love a crunchier oatmeal

this has to be one of the most overrated diners at disney world. the lines were atrocious; we queued 20 minutes just to order and then a further 20 minutes to get our food. the tenders were cold but tasted good. the chips were warm but were underseasoned. the wookie cookie was decent and was definitely the best part of the meal.

Backlot Express was the perfect lunch spot during our day at Hollywood Studios! I had the bacon cheeseburger, which was juicy and packed with flavor. My brother got the chicken and fries, and he couldn’t stop talking about how crispy and well-seasoned they were. I also tried the Hawaiian Roller Coaster Punch—super refreshing and fun, especially in the Florida heat! The service was quick, the restaurant was very clean, and the whole experience felt relaxed and low-key, which was a nice break from the hustle of the park. It was easy to find a table, and the movie set-style theming made it even more enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping here if you’re looking for good food, fast service, and a chill atmosphere!
