Dinner at Homecomin’ Kitchen

Homecomin’ Kitchen, located in Disney Springs, is one of those restaurants that I rarely go to. Not because it’s not good. But, because it’s so popular that it’s hard to get a reservation or be able to dine here as a “walk-up.” Brandon and I have tried to eat at Homecomin’ nearly a half a dozen times without success. On this visit, we stopped by in January later in the evening and were pleasantly surprised that the walk-up wait time was only 20-30 minutes. So, we decided it was finally time to have a meal there together, because while I had been there several times, Brandon had never eaten there.

Brunch at Homecomin’ Kitchen

Homecomin’ Kitchen is a table service restaurant located in Disney Springs. Owned and operated by Chef Art Smith — a James Beard award-winning chef who grew in fame thanks to working with Oprah. This restaurant offers guests a taste of Florida local flavors and Southern dishes. It’s one of my brother’s favorite places in Disney Springs. And, he always wants to dine there whenever we have family in town. So, recently, I had brunch there with my brother, mom, and stepdad.

Dinner at Homecomin’ Kitchen

Homecomin’ Kitchen, a table service restaurant, has quickly become one of the most popular restaurants in Disney Springs. Serving up homestyle, Southern cuisine with local Florida ingredients, Homecomin’ Kitchen is pure comfort food. The restaurant was created by Chef Art Smith, who was Oprah’s personal chef, a James Beard Foundation award winner, and has been featured on shows like Top Chef Masters. He also is originally from Florida, and his connection to Disney started when he was a cast member in the college program. So, Homecomin’ Kitchen really is a homecoming for Chef Art Smith. We’ve heard nothing but rave reviews from friends and family about the food served at Homecomin’ Kitchen. But, admittedly, I’ve been a bit nervous to visit, assuming there wouldn’t be a lot of special dietary needs options. Recently, I went with family and was pleasantly surprised by my experience.
