Where to Eat at Disney’s Saratoga Springs
Saratoga Springs has a table service restaurant, two quick service restaurants, and three pool bars. If you have an upcoming stay at Saratoga Springs, where should you eat?
Table Service
The Turf Club Bar and Grill
Designed to resemble a racetrack clubhouse with vintage equestrian memorabilia and photos, The Turf Club Bar and Grill serves American fare. On the menu are entrees like slow-roasted prime rib, bourbon-apple glazed pork chop, buttermilk-fried herb chicken, and the Turf Club burger. Some of the fresh produce is even sourced from The Land Pavilion at EPCOT.
Just outside of The Turf Bar and Grill is the Turf Club Lounge, which is a good spot to unwind with a drink or shoot some pool. You can also step out to the covered patio for beautiful views of Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course and Disney Springs. In addition to beer, wine, and cocktails, the lounge offers a small selection of bites, including the Turf Club burger, Buffalo chicken dip, crispy chicken wings, a giant pretzel, and sweet-and-spicy brussels sprouts.
The Turf Bar and Grill will be closed for refurbishment from late August 2026 through late September 2026. During that time, guests will still be able to dine at The Turf Club Lounge.
Quick Service
The Artist’s Palette
The Artist’s Palette is the main quick service location, and it’s located right inside the Carriage House (the main lobby building at Saratoga Springs). Compared to the quick service restaurants at many other DVC Resorts, The Artist’s Palette offers a wide range of dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At breakfast, you’ll find Mickey waffles, breakfast platters, totcho bowls, and bagel sandwiches.
Lunch offers everything from grilled chicken and rice bowls, sweet chili aïoli chicken strips, and brisket sandwiches to avocado toast, Caesar salad with chicken, and plant-based barbecue jackfruit sandwiches. While the dinner menu has much of the same entrees as lunch, there are a few specials from 4pm to close, including herb-roasted salmon, chimichurri shrimp, beef bourguignon, herb-roasted chicken, turkey meatloaf, BBQ pork macaroni and cheese, and chicken-bacon alfredo pasta.
Chip ‘n Dale’s Cafe
Chip ‘n Dale’s Cafe is a sandwich stand at Disney’s Lake Buena Vista Golf Course, close to The Turf Club Bar and Grill. At breakfast you can get a breakfast sandwich on a croissant or a breakfast burrito. For lunch, there are hot dogs and lots of sandwiches to choose from including ham and cheese, turkey and swiss, grilled cheese, tuna salad, chicken salad, and a country club wrap just to name a few.
Pool Bars
The Paddock Grill
Located at The Paddock Pool, The Paddock Grill serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Although it’s technically a pool bar, The Paddock Grill has a substantial menu, and it can be a great option if you’re staying in The Paddock section of the resort and don’t feel like walking to Carriage House. For breakfast, there are Mickey waffles, a steak, egg, and cheese breakfast wrap, bagel sandwich, and breakfast burrito. For lunch and dinner, you can enjoy blackened shrimp tacos, a chicken-bacon waffle cone, chicken power bowl, bacon double cheeseburger, buttermilk fried chicken sandwich, black bean burger, or chicken strips.
On the Rocks
This pool bar is right by High Rock Spring Pool, the resort’s feature pool. Besides cocktails, wine, beer, and frozen alcoholic beverages, there is a small selection of salads, sandwiches, and thin crust pizzas. If you’re looking for something heartier, you may prefer to go to The Artist’s Palette, which is nearby.
Backstretch Pool Bar
Near the Grandstand Pool is the Backstretch Pool Bar. While the beverages, turkey wrap, hot dog, and grilled chicken Caesar salad are pretty standard, the pool bar recently garnered some attention for the latest addition to its menu: cheeseburger spring rolls. These cheeseburger spring rolls are reminiscent of the ones in Magic Kingdom but don’t require a park ticket.
Nearby Dining Options
While staying at Saratoga Springs, you are also a walk or boat ride away from Disney Springs. From quick service dining like Polite Pig, D-Luxe Burger, and Earl of Sandwich to table service dining like Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, The Boathouse, and Summer House on the Lake, you have plenty of delicious dining options nearby.
