We're a family of four with two adventurous eaters (adults) and two picky eaters (kids). We ate lunch at Backlot Express in July 2022. My husband and I both ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad which was very good and light enough for a hot summer day. My older son (9) had the adult chicken strip meal with the four strips which was so nice because many restaurants only have the small child's portion (two strips) on the menu, and we often had to augment his order at other restaurants during our trip. The younger was happy with his two chicken strips, yogurt, and french fries. We were there during the lunch rush when it was very crowded and so we felt fortunate to find an indoor table. The self-fill drink station was a big plus for us.
Pros:
Good options for our family Indoor seating Self-serve drinks Good options for my big kidCons:

Stopped by for lunch during a busy time frame. After searching around we did find a table for 6 in the back near the drink station. My party had basic burgers, kids chicken and kids mac and cheese. The kids meals are great since they come with 2 sides and a beverage. Having a refill station for water is worth the walk to this place. It is crowded and noisy but you will have a good basic meal. I had to try the Two deserts that everyone raves about. the Wookie Cookie was soft, tasty and huge, the favorite among us. The blondie brownie was also shareable and very tasty. I enjoy most Disney desserts but I don\\'t think I would call either of these Amazing.
Pros:
Drink station is worth the walk Variety of basic food optionsCons:

We ate here because I read reviews that the food was much improved over previous years. I really enjoyed the gluten friendly chicken strips meal. They were small little nuggets and they were very crunchy, which i like. I liked these better than the ones at Columbia Harbor House in MK.
Definitely mobile order, the line to walk up and order was very long.
Pros:
good GF chicken nuggets lots of seating shadeCons:

We were pleasantly surprised by Backlot. We all got a burger of some sort but they were definitely much better than your typical quick service burgers from Magic Kingdom. Burgers were juicy, fries were good. Plenty of condiments inside to choose from. Beers were nice and large and cold. The wookie cookie is HUGE and delicious, definitely could be split between two or more people. Lots of seating in the shade outside.
Pros:
Standard theme park fare good for picky eaters, not too expensive, food was pretty goodCons:

I liked that I was able to easily order lunch at backlot express and I had a wonderful spot to sit in the air conditioning. They have tons of topping packets so makes dipping your fry’s and chicken strips super easy. Nothing too special for food just burgers. Loved also watching the cavalcade come by while we were leaving.
Pros:
Lots of seating, air conditioning, lots of sauces to chose fromCons:

We ate here a couple of weeks ago for dinner. I had the chicken strips and my husband had the bacon burger. My chicken strips were fine, but on the dry/hard side. My husband thought the burger was pretty good. We went there mostly for the Wookie Cookie which was great! It was huge and definitely worth the price. We could barely eat it all between the two of us!
I would definitely recommend getting the cookie if nothing else from here.
Pros:
The Wookie Cookie!!Cons:

Food was alright but nothing too special. Similar mobile order items you find anywhere.
