Disney4me Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Friar’s Nook is at it again! Becoming known for their oft-changing macaroni and cheese-based menu items, this spot has a new version to add: Barbecue Chicken Macaroni and Cheese!Friar’s Nook SignAtmosphereTucked into Fantasyland, Friar’s Nook is a walk-up location with all-outdoor seating.Friar’s NookFriar’s NookThe covered seating offers views of Fantasyland, including Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel. There’s no A/C even though the seating is covered, so plan ahead for warmer or cooler days. This is also a popular spot for folks grabbing sundaes at Storybook Treats, so it can get crowded quickly.Friar’s Nook SeatingEatsThis latest addition to the mac and cheese-anchored menu has replaced the Bacon Cheeseburger Macaroni and Cheese, which I know will be upsetting to some! They still offer the guest-favorite Pot Roast Macaroni and Cheese as well as popular items like Hot Dogs and Vegetables with Hummus.Friar’s Nook MenuBevvies are the same as always.Friar’s Nook MenuSo let’s dig into that Barbecue Chicken Macaroni and Cheese! Like the other mac and cheese counter-service options in WDW, you are getting a TON of food.Barbecue Macaroni and CheeseBBQ_MacaroniAndCheese_15-02.jpgThe presentation is spot on. On top of the chicken was a nice amount of coleslaw and bread crumbs. The coleslaw was especially a nice surprise and offered a nice cool, crunchy texture comparison to the chicken and mac.Barbecue Macaroni and Cheese ToppingThe chicken doused in barbecue sauce, and was placed on top of the macaroni. I highly recommend mixing the chicken right into the macaroni!Chicken in the Barbecue Chicken Macaroni and CheeseThe mac itself is extra cheesy, especially compared to other similar options.Barbecue Macaroni and Cheese CloseupBetween the cheese and the barbecue sauce, this one is very heavy. Unless you’re super hungry and have plans for a nap afterward, consider bringing a fellow mac and cheese lover to help you finish this one.OverallWe liked the combo of flavors and textures in this one, and we can definitely recommend it. These gourmet macaroni and cheeses have become a “thing” in WDW (remember the debacle that was the buffalo mac?), and as the price continues to creep up they become less of a value. That said, they are huge and very shareable.Are you a fan of the gourmet mac and cheese trend in Disney World?
