Dining Review - Chef Art Smith's Homcomin'

Homecomin' is located in Disney Springs and is one of my favorite restaurants on Disney World property.  I've been there a handful of times and have not had a bad meal.  That's not to say that it's always great.  During peak times, I have had meals that were good but not exceptional.  My most recent trip was during lunch on a weekday.  They were at about half-capacity and the meal was outstanding and the service was amazing!  I was on the dining plan, which included a drink and desert.  I knew what entree that I wanted but asked for input from the bartender for the other courses.  I was very happy!



The "Old Fashioned Elder"




For my entree I selected the signature dish, "Art's Famous Fried Chicken".  This is every bit as good as the Mid-West Potluck fried chicken that I remember from my youth!  The portions are generous and I had leftovers.  My one criticism is that the mashed potatoes are instant.  That's not a horrible thing, but they aren't strong enough to stand on their own.  They need gravy!



As I said before, I asked for input on my desert choice and I am so glad that I did.  On a previous trip here with my wife, we did a moonshine flight.  That comes with two items to use for palate cleansing.  One of those items is candied pecans.  I loved those when I had them.  The bartender told me that the chocolate pecan pie, which I am already a fan of, was made with these pecans.  SOLD!  It lived up to every expectation that I had.

A good blogger would have remembered the picture before the first bite.  I couldn't wait!

As mentioned before, I've been here a handful of times.  Here are a few dishes that we've had:

Grilled Mahi and Shrimp

I was on the dining plan when I ordered the Grilled Mahi and Shrimp.  It was good, but not worth the $30 price tag.  The shrimp was very good.  The fish was a generous size.  I loved the kale.  The sweet potatoes were just okay and the fish needed a bit more flavor.


Fried Chicken and Doughnuts

My daughter order this (also while on the dining plan).  If sweet and savory is your thing, this might be a good choice.  It was a little too much sweet for us.  The chicken is awesome all by itself!


Addie Mae's Chicken and Dumpling Soup

My oldest daughter ordered this on a trip without a dining plan.  She loved it and it was a very large portion!

Here are some pics of sides that we have order over various trips.  We liked all of them.

At some point, I would like to go there for brunch.  There are some menu items that look great.

I hope this review is helpful.  I would love to answer any questions that you might have, so please feel free to add a comment below.

  1. I would not order the church lady deviled eggs! We have tried them in the past, but they do not compare to any homemade deviled eggs I've every had.
