Disney’s Beach Club Resort is the inspiration for this returning food booth at the 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival… Welcome to the Beach Grub Outdoor Kitchen!

Beach Grub Outdoor Kitchen 2026


That’s right! The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you; we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the Beach Grub — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!


Menu​


Here at Beach Grub, the focus is on dishes that Disney shares are “fit for a seaside feast.” These include a new food item, the Orange Cream Bar, along with the returningSeafood Bake and Grilled Street Corn on the Cob.

The menu


Two new drinks are making a splash on this menu. The non-alcoholic Strawberry-Basil Lemonade and the 3 Daughters Brewing Key Lime Hard Cider. Okay, pull out your favorite beach picnic blanket, and let’s dive in!

Eats​


Let’s start with the new Seafood Bake, which is packed with shrimp, mussels, clams, andouille sausage, red potatoes, corn on the cob, persillade butter, and a white wine broth… Oh, and it comes with grilled sourdough, too! This dish, custom-made for seafood fans, costs $8.49.

Seafood Bake


We think this is pretty good for a theme park seafood bake. If you grew up on overly seasoned, traditional versions, you probably won’t enjoy this as much, but it does hit that seafood feeling when you need it. There was so much butter in the best way — seriously, soak your bread in the butter and enjoy it. The clams and mussels were a bit grainy, but the sausage and potatoes were cooked perfectly. It was definitely a delicious bowl.

Diving in!


The Grilled Street Corn on the Cob, which has moved around the Festival a bit, can be found here this year. (Though it’s had a few homes, it was at EPCOT Farmers Feast a few years ago.) It’s covered with a savory garlic spread and “cheese.” This plant-based dish costs $5.99 and is an eligible item for guests participating in the Garden Graze food crawl.

Grilled Street Corn on the Cob


YUM! This is a top dish for us, and it’s what Harambe’s Market corn wishes it could be. It was spice forward and super buttery, so it melted in your mouth. We loved that it’s grilled right in front of us, and you could taste the char. While it’s a little difficult to eat right on the cob, we do appreciate that it’s made in front of us, so we’re willing to deal with it for fresh ingredients.

Grilled fresh!


And for dessert? How about an Orange Cream Bar? This twist on the classic summer Dreamcicle flavors with vanilla bean-orange mousse covered in a chocolate shell with marshmallow meringue, and is up for grabs for $5.49.

Orange Cream Bar


Unfortunately, we weren’t in love with this. While our reporter loves orange creamsicles and expected a similar taste, it was mostly vanilla bean flavored with a slight hint of orange at the end. It also melted SO fast that it turned into a bowl of soup at the end, which probably isn’t your favorite thing in the world.

Drinks​


Drink options are pretty simple here, featuring Strawberry-Basil Lemonade made with Minute Maid Premium Lemonade with strawberry-hibiscus syrup garnished with basil for $4.79.

Strawberry-Basil Lemonade


This one really took us by surprise! We thought it would be more kid-focused since it’s lemonade, but the basil was actually a prominent flavor that really came through. It wasn’t overwhelming, but it was more prevalent and aromatic, and we found it nice and refreshing, especially for adults.

This was a hit!


Also available here is the 3 Daughters Brewing Key Lime Hard Cider for $6 for a 6 oz pour and $9.75 for a 12 oz pour.

3 Daughters Brewing Key Lime Hard Cider


The hard cider isn’t anything that will completely knock your socks off, but it’s easy to sip on while you’re walking around the park. If you’ve had cider before, it will be a similar taste for you without any outstanding notes, but it’s nice and an enjoyable sweet cider.

Cider, anyone?

OVERALL​


Dang! Beach Grub is coming in hot! The Grilled Street Corn was perfectly spiced and grilled right in front of us, and the Seafood Bake was great to hit that seafood craving. We think the individual ingredients shone through, and besides the clams and mussels, which could have used a little bit more cleaning, it all felt very fresh. We also loved the Strawberry Basil Lemonade, but would probably skip the Orange Cream Bar again.
