My Trip to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Lake Buena Vista Florida (Near Orlando)

 

Chef Art’s Homecomin’ is a Southern Style American Restaurant. Chef Art Smith is a Celebrity Chef and Multi Award Winning and James beard Award Winning Chef. When you taste his food at the restaurant you will see why. Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ Restaurant is located in Disney Springs (that is formally known as Downtown Disney). No need to purchase park admission for anything in Disney Springs but there is no street parking so you have to use a garage or valet park. Reservations can be difficult to get even a month in advance but be persistent and call the day you are in the area and maybe they can squeeze you in.

The restaurant is sort of farm style. It’s very woody with lots of natural sunlight during the day.

Our server was very welcoming and explains the menu in detail to us.

A specialty of the house are the Moonshine Shooters.

Pictured here are a lemon, blackberry and Strawberry Moonshine Shooters of different proofs. They come with a Pickle Juice Shooter and Candied Pecans. WOO HOO they are strong!

Many delicious appetizers are on the menu so we decided to try the Jasper’s Board that contains Smoked Fish Dip (today it was grouper), Pimento Cheese, Shaved Country and Tasso Ham, Bread and Butter Pickles, Candied Pecans and Buttermilk Crackers. It SOUNDS CRAZZZZZZZY but our waitress told us that you are suppose to pile everything on the cracker and then eat it……MY GOD THIS IS FORKING DELICIOUS……The flavors are just CRAZY CRAZY GOOD! I can’t stop eating this………Oh God and the portion is enough for FOUR PEOPLE.

My main for dinner (and two breakfasts……..(((I’m stuffed by now))) was Art Smith’s Famous Fried Chicken.

Everything is delicious but it gets even better when you splash it all up with the house made hot sauce that isn’t too hot but adds a little soft heat, flavor and tang………so good….This is TOO GOOD…….

My husband had the Capital Meatloaf.

It is also TOO GOOD and comes with “Killer” Sauces of tomato and sausage gravy that you are suppose to mix together. Even the vegetables are extra special and are dabbed with pepper jelly. This plate comes with mashed potatoes but my husband went for the cheesy Mac “N” Cheese option and it is Cheesy Mac “N” Cheese too!

“The FOOD is so GOOD your need to come wearing your Stretchy Pants!”

“The Food is TOO GOOD…..you will have to eat Too Much!”

That was my trip to Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’ in Lake Buena Vista Florida near Orlando.
