Backlot Express is located outside Indiana Jones. With an interesting array of food items, online ordering, plenty of seating, and bathrooms right around the corner, it is always a fabulous one stop shop for us.The Southwest salad with chicken really elevated a typical entree. The meat was a nice combination of dark and light pieces. It as flavorful and moist. The bed of lettuce was topped with roasted corn, tomatoes, pickled onion, and roasted pumpkin seeds. The cherry on top was the creamy and tangy jalapeño lime ranch dressing. It was really well balanced with lots of great texture. The star of the show however was the gingerbread cheesecake on a vanilla cookie with milk chocolate ganache, dulce de leche whipped cream, a gingerbread chocolate man, with a sprinkle of crispy pearls. Not only was it beautiful to behold, but the cheesecake filling was smooth and had just the right ratio of warm spices. The crust was nice and buttery with a good crunch. And I really enjoyed the contrast of the pearls for some texture. But as with all cheesecakes, it is best to share because they can get heavy on the palette after a few bites.Overall, with quick service, a unique variety of items to order from, and an idealistic location, this is one of my preferred quick stop shops at Hollywood Studios.

Due to technical difficulties, our reservation at Sci-Fi Drive In restaurant was canceled. So we came here, since the food never disappoints. Neither does the service. We ordered on the app, and our food was ready when we checked in. The two ladies who helped us were friendly. Husband had the bacon cheeseburger and fries. He was happy with his meal. No complaints. I had the Cuban again, and this time I got the plantains. I thoroughly enjoyed both. The restaurant is like a Hollywood back lot area, functional and comfortable. The seats are padded and the wooden tables are cleaned by efficient staff. There is also outside seating, at plastic looking tables and chairs. It's too hot to eat outside - 85° on 9/25/24. This is our go to lunch or dinner place for its good staff & food and reasonable prices.

Perfect for a quick bite to refuel you for your day at Hollywood Studios. We shared chicken tenders and fries to keep it cheap. Actually found a seat and the place was clean and cool. Recommend for a quick stop.

The line here took forever just to order, and then I had to wait a bit for my food to be ready. However, there's plenty of seating which is nice and the food was pretty good. They had lots of options, including vegan options, so it's not bad for a Disney meal.

Though there are so many seats you might have to fight to get one! Grab a seat and mobile order here. My favorite is the Cuban. Two people can easily share this sandwich (and many other entrees) and the prices aren't bad for Disney

Quick service burger place @ Hollywood studio, galaxy edge, ordered bacon cheese burger and pulled pork burger with coleslaw. The pulled pork burger was moist and tasted better than the cheese burger which was dry. We ordered thru the mobile app and didn't have to wait too long for the food but the temperature of the food wasn't hot. Good place to grab a quick meal with a reasonable price.

Decent snack place at Hollywood Studios. Ordered the buffalo fries and they were delicious. The Wookie cookie is terribly overrated, the cookie was hard as can be and not worth the price. Can't comment on service because it was quick serve. The restaurant itself is huge but plan on waiting in a long line to order unless you do it online.

I was pleasantly surprised at this restaurant. We stopped in and bought the chicken fingers and a Wookiee Cookie. The chicken fingers were surprisingly delicious as were the fries. The dessert was delicious as well. A great stop on a busy day.

A quick service spot in Hollywood Studios that has mainly burgers and sandwiches. There was also some rice bowls so my friend got the teriyaki chicken bowl but she found it too be a bit too sweet and just alright. I got the cuban sandwich which looked great but it didn't have much filling. Most of it was in the middle of the sandwich so by the end, it was just bread. However, the bites that had all the filling - ham, pulled pork, cheese, pickles - was great. The burgers had lovely buns that were soft but still held together well. The patties were just alright but I think the smoked BBQ pulled pork burger is the way to go. It was the best thing we got. It was a burger patty topped with pulled pork and slaw, well worth it! The pulled pork was juicy and the slaw was refreshing in contrast to all the meats.There's also plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors so I'd say it's a solid spot for a quick meal in between attractions.

We chose to eat here because we wanted a quick bite to eat in between activities at the park. I have Celiac Disease and my boyfriend has dairy and wheat allergies so the attention they pay to allergies is vital to our wellbeing when eating anywhere. They have staff that were able to accommodate our allergies and neither of us got sick. The fries are gluten-free (designated fryer). We also enjoyed the free refills on soft drinks at this restaurant- while I believe that the pricing of the items should result in fountain drinks coming with refills, that is not often the case anymore at theme parks. The reason I am only giving three stars in this review is because the burgers weren't very good. They reminded us of something you would get at a traditional high school cafeteria (but not priced the same). I don't know if it was partially the gluten-free buns but we were underwhelmed by the quality. I thought the fries were okay but nothing special. Food was served hot.
