Roundup Rodeo BBQ

About Roundup Rodeo BBQ

Roundup Rodeo BBQ is a family-style barbecue restaurant located in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Opened in 2023, it quickly became one of the most popular table-service options in the park. The concept is brilliant: you have been shrunk down to the size of a toy and are dining inside Andy’s rodeo playset.

Every inch of the restaurant is designed to make you feel toy-sized. Western towns, train station playsets, and larger-than-life displays of Toy Story characters surround your table. Look for Jessie riding on the back of a Trixie pull toy, Bo Peep and her sheep posed for a rodeo performance, and a kaleidoscope of games and playsets filling every corner. The level of detail rivals any Disney attraction.

The restaurant fills a crucial gap in Hollywood Studios, which previously had limited table-service options in the Toy Story Land area. The immersive theming gives families a reason to sit down and enjoy a proper meal without leaving the land, and the all-you-care-to-enjoy format means everyone leaves full.
