The Regal Eagle Smokehouse is now open at Epcot, and it is a fun addition to the dining options at the World Showcase! Hosted by Sam Eagle from The Muppets, this quick-service restaurant welcomes guests to “Sam’s Centennial Cookoff: A Salute to All Cookoffs, but Mostly Barbecue.” All your muppet friends have been hard at work creating their best dishes for the competition, and now you get to enjoy their labors!

This menu is full of delicious dishes for every dietary preference and need. There are barbecue classics, like smoked chicken or a brisket sandwich, and lighter options such as a chicken salad or a plant-based burger with jackfruit.
Of course, the star of any barbecue meal is the sauce, and Sam Eagle doesn’t disappoint! He’s provided a variety of sauces for guests to mix, match, and find their favorite!
The Muppets theming is certainly muted. If you look closely enough, however, you can find lots of references to our favorite puppets For example, you’ll see award certificates adorning the walls of the restaurant.
And of course, Sam needs to advertise his annual competition…
Besides the Muppets‘ references, it’s a pretty impressive quick-service restaurant. The indoor seating is plentiful, and the decor is appealing without making you feel overwhelmed.
The restaurant also includes an outdoor patio and bar.
Overall, the Regal Eagle Smokehouse is a great option for a quick lunch or snack! There’s enough options to satisfy every member of your party, plenty of seating, and a fun atmosphere. Make sure to visit during your next Epcot day!
