BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 From the Disney Parks Blog... New Menu Debuts Tomorrow at Tortuga Tavern in Magic Kingdom Parkposted on October 13th, 2015 by Rachel Brent, Food & Beverage Marketing Communications Coordinator Avast adventurers! If it be barbecue you’re after, head to Tortuga Tavern in Magic Kingdom Park. Keep a weather eye open, a brand-new menu debuts tomorrow, October 14, at the seasonal Adventureland eatery. New menu items include barbecue sandwiches with either pulled pork, sliced beef brisket or grilled chicken breast, all served on Texas toast with beans and cole slaw. Vegetarians, or anyone looking for a lighter meal will enjoy the roasted corn and vegetable salad, served with vinaigrette dressing. Barbecue beef brisket or chicken can also be added to the salad. Which new menu item are you looking forward to trying? http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/10/new-menu-debuts-tomorrow-at-tortuga-tavern-in-magic-kingdom-park/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WannaBeImagineer 98 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Very interesting. Looks ok, sadly it will probably taste like all the other WDW bbq sauce, but... Texas Toast? Baked Beans? BBQ sauce? Doesn't seem very Caribbean... WBI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Yeah, not really in the theme. And, they are still referring to it as "seasonal." In the past that translated to almost never open. I'm willing to give it a try, though. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I complained about the inconsistency with the theming at Tortuga on the Pecos Bill thread a week or so ago....I thought people disagreed with me. I think they should have reversed the menus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 The link they have in the article leads to the Tortuga page, but it still has the old menu, says its a Mexican Restaurant. Looks like the Pecos Bill menu. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the Pecos Bill menu. What, do you expect a multi-billion dollar company to have its website correct 100% of the time? LOL. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I thought a BBQ theme would work with Tortuga since its origins are the Caribbean. They could have also overlapped some of the Mexican menu just by using slightly different spices. After seeing the official menu it's become obvious Disney doesn't know the difference between Pirates and Cowboys having put in more of a Texas style BBQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 You're right. It would make much more sense if the menus were reversed. TCD Agreed. What, do you expect a multi-billion dollar company to have its website correct 100% of the time? I'd settle for 75% of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Even in Texas Bar-B-Q isn't served on Texas toast. Its a bun or thin slice of white bread. I agree the menus are backwards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Disney Food Blog has posted a review... http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2016/01/12/review-lunch-at-magic-kingdoms-tortuga-tavern-updated-bbq-menu/ Some excerpts... Quote Barbecued Beef Brisket Sandwich Roasted Corn and Vegetable Salad Overall Oh, Tortuga Tavern. Seriously, I wish this place was open more often. The attention to detail and decor is one of the best in the park for quick service, and though the menu is certainly on the simple side, things are typically well-executed and fresh. If the Tavern happens to be open during your next trip to the Magic Kingdom, it remains worth checking out… if ye be brave enough to hang your own hat among the pirates, that is!
