Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue Coming to Epcot

An all-new restaurant is coming to Epcot. The Disney Parks Blog just shared the news that Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue is set to open in the American Adventure pavilion later this year!

About Regal Eagle Smokehouse

Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue will be a fast-casual restaurant offering everything you need for a delicious barbecue meal in Epcot, complete with craft beers on tap. It’s even set to include a smoker right on-site! The outdoor patio will also be redesigned, offering enhanced dining areas both inside and out.

The new restaurant will be replacing the Liberty Inn quick service restaurant which has served everything from burgers and hot dogs to sirloin steaks and shrimp po’ boys over the years. While not the most elaborately-themed restaurant in World Showcase, the Liberty Inn does feature flags from each of the original 13 colonies, and something tells us these may be removed as they will not fit the theme of Epcot’s new BBQ joint. If you’re hankering for a quick lunch at Liberty Inn (or you just want to check out the flags) you’ll need to get there before July 8.

That’s all the details we have for now on Epcot’s newest quick service restaurant, but so far it sounds like the perfect place to kick back with a craft beer and something fresh out of the smoker, and we can’t wait to check it out!

We’ll keep you updated on this page once more details become available, but in the meantime– What do you think? Are you excited for a new restaurant in the American Adventure?
