If you are looking for good food fast, the Port Orleans Riverside food court is available all day long featuring fresh baked goods, pizza, pasta, hamburgers and some fantastic Southern specialties. The Riverside Mill also features a country market with prepackaged items to grab and go.

Soak up the scenery and the Cajun spices as you dine in this 450-seat food court near to the 35 (some sources say 32) foot water wheel that operates a working cotton press.

There are five serving stations which provide a variety of different food types – bakery/ice cream, grill, pasta, carved meats, pizza, etc – plus the Grab and Go refrigerator which contains chilled drinks and pre-packaged items. Once you’ve selected your food, you head over to one of the payment desks before collecting your cutlery, condiments and any dispensed drinks from the central island and finding a table. If your party needs items from different stations it’s usually easiest to split up, collect your food, and then all meet up back at the payment desk.

This all works pretty well at quieter times, but at peak breakfast hours (say between around 8.30am and 10am) it can get very hectic with the lines for the different stations intercrossing with the payment lines. If you can plan to get your breakfast at a time when everyone else is not doing so, you’ll have a much more relaxed experience! One time-saving tip, especially if you’re planning to hit the parks early, is to buy cereals, pastries, fruit, milk, etc. the night before and have breakfast in your room – housekeeping will collect your tray and trash when they clean the room. Lunchtime is rarely crowed at the food court unless the weather is awful, and evening meal times tend to spread out a lot more as people return from the parks at much more varied times.

The “Disney Dining Plan” pre-payment plan is accepted at this location, but the old “Tables in Wonderland” discount programme was never available here. Smaller items listed as Snack Credits on the DDP are indicated with a symbol.

The menu offerings were considerably reduced and simplified following the re-opening of the resort in October 2021. Rather than trying to indicate the many removed itemss here, the previous menu has been retained on the site as a separate archived page.

Opening Hours: 6:30am – 11pm (hot food counters open at 7am)

Online Menus and Mobile Ordering Menus are also listed on the Walt Disney World website (Riverside Mill Menu Link) although sometimes the listings differ from the actual items shown on the food court menus. Online ordering for click-and-collect is offered via the My Disney Experience app, collection from the far-right window.
