Welcome to The Edison!


We recently stopped by The Edison in Disney Springs to see what was cookin’, and now we’re bringing you our FULL review. Is it worth a stop on your next trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth? Find out here!



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Atmosphere​


If you’re looking for a seriously unique theme, might we introduce you to The Edison? This restaurant, located in The Landing, is designed to look like a 1920s electrical company.

The Edison


It’s safe to say there’s nothing quite like this in Disney World. The atmosphere feels very elevated because there is lots to see thanks to the detailing. It’s moody and atmospheric, making it feel very immersive. It might not be for everyone, because it is considered a “steampunk” vibe, which hasn’t been popular for a little while.

The best part of this restaurant’s atmosphere? The live entertainment! When we stopped by, the entire band was incredibly talented. They played lounge covers of pop songs that were light and created a really nice environment.

The live entertainment!


They weren’t too loud, so you could still have a conversation easily. They came out roughly every 30 minutes to perform. If you don’t love live entertainment during your meal, this might not be for you, but the performers really elevated the restaurant’s atmosphere for us. This spot tends to have lots of seating open, even during a busy Disney Springs day. This can be great for anyone who needs a quick break or a calm environment.

They were great performers!


But enough about the restaurant — what’s on the menu here?!

Menu​


This spot offers up American-inspired fare that’s more of a fast casual vibe. If you want something light, you can check out the Shares & Nibbles section with bites like, Deviled Eggs, Angeled Eggs, dips, and more.

For a veggie-forward option, they offer two full salads that you can add proteins to. They offer 4 different burgers for anyone looking for an elevated yet classic dish!

Looking for more? That’s where their Patented Specialties come in! They have an array of options like steaks, ribs, chicken sandwiches, grilled cheeses, and more!

You can also indulge in sides like fries, mashed potatoes, and roasted veggies.

If dining is a family affair, they also provide kids’ starters, main courses, and desserts!

We also like to use this stop as just a place to grab a quick drink because they have TONS of options. Classic sodas? They have them! Fancy cocktails? Check! Zero proof sips? You’ll find them here!

And now, onto the main event — the food!

Drinks​


To drink, we picked up the A Dame’ll Sting Ya for $19.00. This is made with Sipsmith Lemon Drizzle Gin, Stirring’s All Natural Ginger Liqueur, Honey, Lemon Juice, Cranberry Juice, and Fresh Savannah Bee Company Honeycomb.

A Dame’ll Sting Ya


This drink was an interesting mix! It was fairly bitter, but it also had a subtle sweetness that balanced it out. The lemon flavor was there, although it was quite subtle. We were missing the honey flavor, which was pretty disappointing. The drink overall was fairly one-note.

It wasn’t our favorite!


There are other sips at this location that we’ve enjoyed more, but if you love something that’s a little sharp or sour, this could fit the bill.

Eats​


First up, we grabbed the Monumental Pretzel for $16.00. This is a Bavarian-style pretzel with pimento cheese and honey mustard.

https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Magical Guides-Monumental-Pretzel-The-Edison-Disney-Springs-Disney-World-Photo-Jul-31-2026-7-31-21-PM-5712-x-4284-1-700x525.jpg
The Pretzel!


The pretzel was pretty dense, but it was still soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. The salt flakes on the outside were the main flavor in each bite, plus they added a bit of crunch for texture. The honey mustard dip leaned a bit too sweet in our opinion. We missed having more tang from the mustard.

Honey Mustard


The pimento cheese was thick, but sadly didn’t add much to the pretzel. The flavor was lacking and didn’t add much to the pretzel itself. Both dips were on the smaller side, which was another disappointment. We thought the dip amount didn’t quite match up to the large pretzel, so don’t be afraid to ask for more if you order this!

https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Magical Guides-Monumental-Pretzel-The-Edison-Disney-Springs-Disney-World-Photo-Jul-31-2026-8-25-49-PM-4032-x-3024-700x525.jpg
The pimento cheese!


Next, we grabbed the DB “Clothesline” Candied Bacon for $19.00. This comes with four pieces of bacon seasoned with maple and black pepper, plus a side of sweet & spicy pickles.

https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Magical Guides-DB-Clothesline-Candied-Bacon-The-Edison-Disney-Springs-Disney-World-Photo-Jul-31-2026-7-34-41-PM-5712-x-4284-700x525.jpg
Look at that!


If you’re looking for something savory, this might surprise you! The bacon was crunchy and chewy, which offered a nice textural balance. The bacon itself was surprisingly sweet. While it only came with four pieces, they were pretty big! The presentation was fun and a silly way to make an American classic even more fun.

A closer look!


The pickles were an amazing balance of spicy and sweet. They had a great crunch, which we really enjoyed. This would be easily split between two people, but if you have more than that in your group, people might be left wanting more.

Have a bite!


For our main entree, we tried the Edison Burger for $25.50. This burger is made with a signature blend of sirloin, short rib & brisket, sharp cheddar, smoky bacon, pickles, lettuce, tomato, Edison Sauce, and L. Burbank fries.

The Edison Burger


This was a solid classic cheeseburger! It was hefty, but we think that price was pretty steep for what it was. The burger was cooked a perfect Medium with a slightly pink inside. The char on the outside added lots of flavor; however, it might be too much for some people. The bacon was chewy and a bit hard to bite through as we tried the burger.

https://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Magical Guides-The-Edison-Burger-The-Edison-Disney-Springs-Disney-World-Photo-Jul-31-2026-8-00-00-PM-4032-x-3024-700x525.jpg
A look inside!


The bacon added lots of salt to the burger, but the rest of the ingredients helped to balance it out. The sauce got a bit lost due to the rest of the elements on the sandwich. If you’re eager to taste the sauce, ask for extra on the side! The buns were soft and pillowy, plus they soaked up the juices from the burger so we didn’t miss a second of flavor. While we really enjoyed it, we wouldn’t say it was anything to write home about.

Have a bite!


Finally, we tried the Mikey’s Bag-A-Donut for $16.00. These were warm powdered sugar donuts that came with Nutella and raspberry sauce.

The Mikey’s Bag A Donuts


These guys were also pretty dense, but they had a nice crust on the outside. The donuts reminded us of a classic cake flavor, which felt familiar.

A closer look!


They powered sugar on the outside added a subtle sweetness while still being light and airy. The raspberry sauce was a balance of tart and sweet, like the actual fruit.

Dip it!


The Nutella has a whipped texture. It was a light chocolate flavor that paired well with the donuts.

They were a nice way to finish off the meal!

Nosh or Not​


This Disney World restaurant is a must-visit if…

  • You love live entertainment
  • You need a break from the crowds
  • Or you love a quick cocktail

You should skip this Disney World spot if…

  • You want a unique, more complex meal
  • You want a bright atmosphere when dining
  • Or you don’t love live entertainment while dining

Overall​


This restaurant can be a hit for many. It has an incredible atmosphere and wonderful live entertainment, but the food isn’t anything that has blown us away. It offers classic, familiar flavors that are good but not great in our book. It can be an amazing place to grab a quick drink, escape the heat, and catch your breath.
