Still the best chicken in WDW! My daughter & I ate here in June when I dropped her off at the Disney College program. We didn’t have a reservation but were able to get a seat at the bar. The service was great, she was very friendly and never left us setting too long. I ordered the Hard Sweet Tea & my DD had a regular sweet tea. My drink was just right - not too sweet or too strong. We started the meal with the fried green tomatoes. They were so good, crispy with that bright flavor you get from prefect green tomatoes. The sauce was a nice addition but not needed as the tomatoes themselves were delicious. The only thing I didn’t love was the ham - it was a little too salty for my taste. For our main entree we split the chicken and doughnuts which we upgraded to all white meat chicken with mac’n’cheese. It’s was fantastic! The chicken was tender, juicy and crispy. The Mac’n’cheese creamy with a wonderful layer of melted cheese on top. The doughnuts were sweet but not overpowering. I’ve never had chicken anywhere that is as good. It really is one of the best restaurants on property
Pros:
Customer service Chicken Mac’n’cheeseCons:

We had a wonderful eating here with Traveling Around Disney. Soul food by definition.... So comforting and yummy! The fried chicken is second to none. The service wasn't the best at Disney but was very good.
Pros:
The food overall is excellent. The fried chicken brought my wife to tears.Cons:
Loud music may distract some (noise) but a minor observation. The drinks are a little overhyped but good.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 10/06/2023

I've been to Homecomin' twice now and was not impressed on either trip. Most of the food and drinks that I tried was just okay. Both times the service was not great.
Pros:
The chicken sandwiches are delicious. These are a must-order if you eat here.Cons:
The moonshine flight is a more expensive offering on their menu. A friend and I split it and only liked two out of the five drinks that it comes with. One is literally undrinkably bad.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 05/28/2023

AMAZING! Definitely a go-to everytime. Make sure you start with the charcuterie board here because it is the best! There’s a selection of deli meats, chicken salad, pimento cheese, tomato bacon chutney, candied walnuts, and pickles. Every bite was delicious. As for entrees you can’t go wrong with the southern classics like fried chicken or pulled pork. Those options paired with the mashed potatoes or Mac n cheese is the epitome of comfort food. Our server was also very friendly and attentive and we even got to meet Chef Art himself!
Pros:
- Delicious comfort food - the charcuterie board - laid-back vibeCons:

Absolute favorite place a must on every trip. Ate there in October and again in February and the food is absolutely delicious. My daughter says it’s the best Mac and cheese she’s ver had. Biscuits are heavy but still very good. Chicken was very moist and flavorful and the mashed potatoes are the best mashed potatoes I have ever had and I love mashed potatoes and have never had mashed potatoes taste like those soo good. It is a must do now on every trip!!!

It’s fine but definitely over rated. I ordered the fried green tomatoes, thigh high biscuits and macaroni and cheese. None of it was outstanding, none of it was bad. I think it’s worth a try but not a must do experience. If u r hungry and can get a seat within 30 minutes it’s ok. The thigh high biscuits were very sweet. I tried my daughter’s chicken tenders and thought those were better.
Pros:
Decent food and a large servingCons:
Apps r expensive but the entrees were reasonableReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 11/17/2022

Hi! We visited a couple weeks ago. This was my 4th visit here and unfortunately may be my last. It was an extremely rushed dinner and felt like our server was trying to upsell us on everything.
Pros:
The food was still really good.Cons:
Felt rushed Server was pushy and fakeReviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/11/2022

1st time visit, I am from the south and can say was not impressed. We had the thigh high chicken biscuits, gator bites and hiummingbird cake. The biscuits were hard and dry. The crumbled and were hard to eat. The chicken was good and the gator bites were awesome, but the hummingbird cake was missing moisture. I didnt taste any pecans or pineapple and coconut that is traditionally in hummingbird cake but even with the nuts left out , it was still very dry. For what you pay for the food I was expecting much better. The manager did reduce our bill so I am thankful for that.
