When staying at a Disney World resort, you'll likely want to maximize your experience, and dining at the resort's restaurants is a great way to do it!
We visited Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory at Disney's Port Orleans Resort — French Quarter to sample some new menu items and see if it’s worth a visit on your Disney vacation. Let's explore what they have to offer!
**Atmosphere**
Located in the main building, this counter-service spot is next to the beignet heaven of Scat Cat’s Club. The dining area is spacious, ideal for large groups, with charming New Orleans-themed decor, including Mardi Gras beads and references to *The Princess and the Frog*. Perfect for a quick meal before hitting the parks or on a relaxed pool day.
**Menu**
Featuring a variety of food stations, you can enjoy classics from pizzas to unique New Orleans-inspired dishes like the Bayou Hot Dog and Po’ Boys. If you have a Refillable Resort Mug, you can top it up at the soda stations.
**Eats**
We tried several dishes, starting with the Bayou Hot Dog, a spicy standout priced at $11.99. On the other hand, the Mediterranean Meatball Bowl ($12.79) lacked the bold flavors we anticipated. The Fish and Chips offered a lackluster experience compared to the Yorkshire County Fish Shop, resembling chicken tenders more than fish.
However, the Banana Bread with Praline Topping ($5.49) was a highlight, delivering a flavorful and satisfying dessert experience.
**Nosh or Not**
Stop by Sassagoula Floatworks if you're a hot dog enthusiast, staying at Port Orleans, or craving something savory with your beignets. Otherwise, Scat Cat’s Club — Lounge might be a better option for those with a larger budget or looking for a cozier atmosphere.
**Overall**
While the hot dog and banana bread were delightful, the rest didn't quite hit the mark. We'd recommend it mostly for convenience if you're already at the resort.
