What to Order at Roundup Rodeo BBQ (Disney's Official Picks)

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is an all-you-care-to-enjoy, family-style barbecue table-service restaurant in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and on July 2, 2026, Disney’s own team published a full sit-down review of the meal on the Disney Parks Blog. The short version: one fixed-price meal buys you a shared platter of four house-smoked meats, five sides, a starter of cheddar biscuits, and your choice of five desserts. If you have been on the fence about whether this is a “just get a snack” stop or a real meal worth a table-service reservation, Disney’s write-up makes the case that it is the latter, and it lays out exactly what lands on the table.

Below we break down the full lineup from Disney’s review and add our take on what to prioritize when the food starts arriving, because at a family-style spread, the smart move is deciding what to eat first before you fill up.

What Roundup Rodeo BBQ actually is

This is the first “Toy Story”-themed restaurant, set inside Andy’s imagined playroom arena. Per Disney’s post, the meal is served family-style: dishes come out to be shared across the table rather than ordered as individual plates. That format matters for planning. It means the value scales with your appetite, kids and adults are eating from the same platters, and there is no single “entree decision” to agonize over. You get essentially all of it.

According to the Disney Parks Blog review, the meal is anchored by a house-smoked platter with four proteins:

  • Evil Dr. Smoked Ribs
  • Buttercup’s Beef Brisket
  • There’s a Sausage in my Boot (fire-grilled pork sausage)
  • BBQ Chicken – with Style!

Three barbecue sauces are offered alongside the platter, so you can push the flavor in different directions across the same plate.

The sides and the starter

Every meal opens with The Prospector’s Homemade Cheddar Biscuits, served with sweet pepper jelly. One of the diners in Disney’s review called them “top tier” and “the appetizer for a backyard BBQ,” and that endorsement tracks with our read: warm cheddar biscuits are a trap. They are also the single easiest way to accidentally fill up before the smoked meats arrive.

The shared sides listed in Disney’s review round out the platter:

  • Potato Barrels
  • Slinky Doooooooooog’s Mac & Cheese
  • Cowpoke Corn on the Cob
  • The Claw! Veggie Slaw
  • Buckin’ Baked Beans

Plant-based and dessert options

Disney’s post also details a dedicated plant-based trio (branded “Trixie’s” on the menu): a Combat Carloflower with harissa drizzle and walnut gremolata, a plant-based Scrumptious Bratwurst, and a Rip Roarin’ Rib Chop made with Impossible Beef. Plant-based sides are available too. That is a meaningful detail for mixed-diet groups: a vegan or vegetarian guest is not stuck ordering off to the side while everyone else shares the meat platter.

Dessert is a choose-your-own affair with five options, again per the review:

DessertNotable detail
Bo’s Seasonal CheesecakeRotates by season
Billy’s Chocolate Silk PieChocolate-forward
Goat’s Banana Cream PieClassic diner-style
Gruff’s Strawberry ShortcakePlant-based
Cupcake à la ForkyChocolate cake, graham cracker buttercream, Forky sugar cookie

The Cupcake à la Forky is the photogenic one and the obvious pick for kids; the Strawberry Shortcake being plant-based means every diner at the table has at least one dessert they can eat.

Our take: what to order first

Since this is family-style, “what to order” really means “what to eat first before you’re full.” Based on the lineup Disney laid out, here is how we would attack the table:

  1. One biscuit, then stop. They are the standout starter, but they are also a filler. Have one, save room.
  2. Go straight for the brisket. A diner in Disney’s review said the brisket “truly melts in your mouth,” and brisket is the item most likely to disappoint if you overeat sides first and rush it.
  3. Treat sides as accents, not the main event. Mac & cheese and potato barrels are easy to overdo. A spoonful of each leaves room for the proteins you actually came for.
  4. Split desserts across the table. With five options and family-style sharing, ordering different desserts and passing them around beats everyone getting the same thing.

Why this matters for your planning

Roundup Rodeo BBQ has quietly become one of the more strategic table-service picks in Hollywood Studios precisely because it removes decisions. You are not comparing entree prices or worrying that someone at the table ordered wrong. Disney publishing its own detailed walkthrough of the meal is a useful signal for anyone weighing whether to spend a table-service slot here: the restaurant is being positioned as a full, shareable meal, not a novelty. If you are traveling with a mixed group, especially one that includes picky kids and at least one plant-based eater, the family-style format plus the dedicated Trixie’s trio makes this an easier “yes” than most sit-down spots.
