REVIEW: I Felt Like a Rockefeller While I was Eating This New Menu Item at EPCOT


Recommended Posts

Sure, you may have heard of Disney’s Yacht Club, but have you heard of Yacht Grub? No? Then, allow us to introduce you to this BRAND-NEW food booth at the 2025 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival… Welcome to the Yacht  Grub Outdoor Kitchen, inspired by Disney’s own Yacht Club Resort!

2025 Yacht Grub Booth

That’s right! Yacht Grub joins the lineup of the Festival’s Outdoor Kitchen Food Booths this year, along with its counterpart, Beach Grub! In fact, Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts are literally just steps away from EPCOT’s International Gateway, so it’s fitting that they’re honored here at the Flower and Garden Festival this year. Let’s check out this new Booth so we can bring you our complete review… just like we’re doing with every single Outdoor Kitchen at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival!

Menu

Like the Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, each of these new Outdoor Kitchens has its own vibe. Disney invites you to “sail on over” to Yacht Grub, “for dips, chips, charcuterie, artisanal cheeses and sparkling cocktails.” These all-new items include a Trio of Dips and Chips, a Meat Assorti, and Assorted Artisanal Cheeses and Accompaniments

2025 Menu

Three new “Sparkling Cocktails” have made it to the menu! You can try the Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail, the Lemon Sparkling Cocktail, or the Orange Sparkling Cocktail. And the Sparkling Cocktail Flight allows you to sip all three!

Drop your anchor and get ready for a lovely Yacht Grub feast!

Eats

First up is the new Trio of Dips and Chips for $6.50. The trio consists of caramelized onion dip, whipped feta dip, and pimento cheese. The dips are served with house-made potato chips and caviar (!!!). Yes, CAVIAR! We’re loving how INTERESTING this is because it’s very elevated, even for a festival. First, you get a nice portion size, which always a bonus. The chips are crispy and tasty.

Trio of Dips and Chips

But these dips…they blew us out of the water. The pimento cheese dip was good (and note it’s on the milder side). We also appreciated the little pickle on top. The caramelized onion dip was FANTASTIC. It was creamy with big strings of onion in it that added a nice texture, and that onion flavor was ON. Let’s talk about the caviar on top, though — it feels kinda gimmicky, and it didn’t change the flavor profile of the dip, but it did make us feel nice and fancy. The whipped feta dip was also wonderful, with that nice sourness of feta and that creamy texture. It also had a bit of a kick. The little slivers of pear on it also added some nice flavor.

These dips

The new Meat Assorti comes in at $6.75. The dish features beef bresaola, prosciutto ham, and salami plated with baby arugula, pickled mustard seeds, tomato jam, truffle oil, and grilled ciabatta. This is another interesting plate at this festival. The meats are high-quality, like charcuterie meats. This platter is also really hearty, although we’ll admit that we’re not sure it’s something we would opt for during a festival.

Meat Assorti

Finally, you can sample the Assorted Artisanal Cheeses and Accompaniments for $6.50. We felt sorta similar about this plate. You get four different cheeses, as well as pickled vegetables like banana peppers and pickles. There was also honey and tomato jam. We’re still not 100% sure what these cheeses are because we were told one was Brie, but it tasted like goat cheese. We were also told two were cheddars and that one is a Gouda.

Assorted Artisanal Cheeses and Accompaniments

Now, these cheeses were pretty tasty, but they didn’t blow us away or anything like that. This is basically the kind of cheese board we’d put together at home. You do get a significant portion of cheese for the price.

Drinks

What sounds better than a Sparkling Cocktail on a fine Spring day? Your options are the Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail ($7.50), the Lemon Sparkling Cocktail ($7.50), and the Orange Sparkling Cocktail ($7.50).  The Sparkling Cocktail Flight gives you the chance to enjoy all three for $14.50.

Sparkling Cocktail Flight

The Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail is made with sparkling wine, Seagram’s Club Soda, and St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur. This cocktail is nice, light, and floral. It definitely tastes like spring.

Elderflower Sparkling Cocktail

The Lemon Sparkling Cocktail provides a twist of tis own with sparkling wine, Seagram’s Club Soda, and limoncello liqueur. It’s not too sour or too sweet and had a nice balance of flavors. It also had a nice aromatic lemon note to it.

Lemon sparkling cocktail

And the Orange Sparkling Cocktail is comprised of sparkling wine, Seagram’s Club Soda, and Aperol Aperitivo Liqueur. This was our favorite of the three. It’s not too sweet, and has a nice orange flavor. The flight as a whole is a lot of fun and we think these drinks are similar enough that you’ll like them all.

Orange Sparkling Cocktail

OVERALL

Although we wouldn’t say this is one of the best food booths at the festival, we know we’ll be back for the Chip and Dips because those ROCKED. The cocktails are also a nice addition and super refreshing, especially if you’re visiting EPCOT on a cold day.
