Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'

We met our daughter in Orlando yesterday when she flew in for the weekend. She had never been to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ so we went there for a late lunch/early dinner. Since it was Valentine’s Day Disney Springs was packed, this restaurant is uber popular on a normal day so a 30 min wait was not long especially at Disney Springs where it’s easy to kill time and they text you when it’s ready. The hosts and wait staff are great there. It’s known for their fried chicken but they have a lot of southern comfort food options. The prices are a little high but it is Disney Springs and the quality and quantity of food are definitely worth it. My daughter had the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and mac and cheese, for me the CFS was just OK since it’s one of my favorite dishes and

We have eaten here a number of times and have always enjoyed the experience- today was no exception. We don’t bother to try to get a reservation as invariably you can’t get one! If you are a couple and happy to sit at the bar there are around d 39 seats available- just go in and sit down and the bar staff will look after you. Sat at the bar again today and had great service. Ordered sodas, which were regularly refilled, and after the usual deliberation over what to order to eat we were soon tucking into some excellent cooking. I had the Chefs Arts fried chicken and my wife the Cuban sandwich. I know most people say this but the chicken is superb - nice crispy batter and succulent chicken. My wife thought her Cuban sandwich was very good though felt it could have been crispier bread on th

My wife and I decided to try this place out since she has seen and heard great things. She started with the hush puppies, which were delicious. I on the other hand, started with the Deviled Eggs, which was honestly a waste of stomach place as it was mediocre at best. For the entree, she had the Pot Roast and I had the Famous Fried Chicken, so we could share and they were delicious. Great flavor and even greater portion sizes. We both had enough to bring back to the resort. For dessert, we did the Everglazed Doughnuts, which were good too. Overall, great experience with tasty food. Only thing that was really lackluster were the deviled eggs. Obviously, give it a try for yourself, but as a person who always get deviled eggs everywhere he goes, it was subpar.

The food in this place is DELICIOUS, yes, capital letters needed! From the appetizer to the dessert, everything deserves a chef’s kiss. We had the Key West Shrimp Cocktail to start and it was served with some sort of sesame chips that I even had to take home for the next day because of how good they were. The shrimp cocktail was exquisite, the flavors were amazing. My mom had the Skillet Fried Chicken Paillard and it was also delicious, she definitely enjoyed it. I had the Art’s Famous Fried Chicken and let me tell you all… I don’t like fried chicken breasts because they’re always dry, but this one right here, I couldn’t stop eating it! It was so juicy and full of flavor. Fried perfectly! The mashed potatoes and cheese biscuit were good as well. My son and I also shared an adults mac and

One of the best dining options in Disney Springs by far! Definitely order the fried chicken, it’s stellar. I highly recommend the deviled eggs as well, but all the food we ordered was fantastic. The moonshine flight was delicious and SO fun (all the drinks had a kick to them but weren’t overly strong)! Service was fantastic too, will definitely be back. Possibly helpful note - on the Disney app it said it was fully booked all day, but we walked up as a party of two and didn’t wait at all for a table. Depends on the day and time I’m sure, this was on a weekday during lunch, but try your luck!
