If you love Disney World and sports then the ESPN Club is the place to eat! It is truly an incredible sports-fan experience. Offering favorite bar type food, televisions in every direction you turn to and a sports show sports show broadcast right from the restaurant!
The ESPN Club is divided into three sections, Sports Central, The Sidelines Bar and The Yard merchandise shop/arcade. In the Sidelines Bar area there’s a 90 square foot video projection screen. In the main dining room, Sports Central, there’s a 108 square foot video wall. You can watch 100 video monitors located throughout that can receive up to 30 different programs!
So what about the food? One word – YUMMY! My tween decided to go for something different, taking the plunge trying something he had never eaten before; a Bayou Burger. This juicy burger was Creole spice-dusted on an Angus chuck burger with craw-fish salad on a brioche bun. He loved it!
While I tried the Philly Cheese Steak which is a traditional-style with choice of cheese, served with choice of Cucumber Salad or French Fries. The cheese steak was piled on making each mouthful flavorful! It was definitely one of the best Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches I ever had!
Not only can you kick back and watch your favorite sports which are on global satellite feeds while eating amazing food but you can walk around and see some great sports memorabilia! From signed photographs, uniforms, basketballs to baseballs the ESPN Club has it!
When you are done eating head over the the arcade; The Yard which is a basketball court-like compound filled with sports video games for all ages. No need to miss any of the action because all broadcasts are piped in from Sports Central, so you wonβt miss a second of the live action! Don’t forget to get authentic ESPN merchandise!
Have fun playing carnival games with unique dining and nightlife on the Coney Island-style boardwalk. Treat yourself to saltwater taffy along the shimmering Crescent Lake. All in walking distance to both Epcot and Disneyβs Hollywood Studios.
Have you ever been to Disney’s Boardwalk? If not I highly recommend it!

We go to Disney every year, but I have never eaten there. I will have to check it out when we go down this fall.
We love eating here. We usually go there to watch football games and the food is always great π
It sounds like a really fun place to eat and watch the game! I can’t wait to try it.
I could eat that philly steak right now! π we’ve been to the boardwalk before, we love it!
We loved the ESPN restaurant when we were there on our honeymoon. Great pics too
This looks like the ultimate sports fans go-to place. The food looks delicious, too.
Cool .. Didn’t know ESPN had a Sports Bar. Sports Bar always have the best Burgers and Fries and just really great “Grill” Foods. The only thing I don’t like is all the noise
Oh my. Did I miss that Bayou Burger. Did not see that last time. I must go back..
That is probably what I would order when I get there. Burgers are my favorite and this one looks amazing.
What a great meal you had! The Philly cheesesteak looks delicious!
It sure does. I wish I had one right now π
We’ve eaten there before and really liked it. I do love the Disney boardwalk!
We have never eaten there before- it does look like a great place to go!
I haven’t been t Disney is so long. But this looks like the perfect place to eat. Those Philly cheese streaks look yummy!
Oh yes, we are Disney connoisseurs. Love Downtown Disney, we went to the new T-Rex restaurant last year. It was a lot of fun and the food was good. Haven’t been to the ESPN club. We will have to check it out because that Philly Cheesesteak looks awesome!
I have been to the Boardwalk but never to ESPN. However now I want to drive down and eat there. I see road trip Saturday.
We love going to ESPN ZONE in my hometown whenever we visit. It was fun and exciting and the food was FABULOUS! WIN-WIN!
This place looks awesome, especially for my husband. It’s like an adult version of Chuck E. Cheese but with good food π
We haven’t gone to the boardwalk often during our Disney trips. We sometimes walk along just a bit to get to a restaurant. We’ll have to add this to the agenda on our next vacay!
That philly cheesesteak has my stomach growling! I’d love to give this a try. Looks yummy!
I would so love to visit. The food looks amazing. It’s so nice you can experience all these adventures and share with us. I love reading π
Man, that looks like such a fun place to hang out and dine! I’ve never been to the Boardwalk but I really want to go!
This is just awesome. We used to have a ESPN Zone in MD and we loved it. We will have to add this to the short list of places to visit. Thanks for sharing.
The food looks amazing. Definitely going on our list to check out the next time we’re at Disney!
I haven’t been to Disney’s Boardwalk (although I’ve been to Disney World twice). I’ll have to check it out next time we go!
Oh that Philly Cheese Steak looks so good! I will definitely have to stop here.
My husband would love this! We will be there next month yay!
OMG, my husband would love this!! Looks like a great atmosphere and food!
Wow! Look at all that delicious looking food! Looks like an amazing place to eat! Yum never been there before, maybe one day!
We’ve never been to WDW, but by the looks of the food, I definitely need to go eat my way through it!
What a view! We might be heading to Disney during Packers season so I am guessing my hubs might find his way here!
I’ve never been to Disney, although it is on my bucket list! I’m not sure that the ESPN restaurant would be my first choice of places to eat, but the food looked incredible. My brother, however, would probably never leave! Thanks for sharing and I think that is was cool that your son tried something so different and liked it.
I was just there in January. There is a lot to see,do ,and eat there.
That food is making me hungry. I haven’t had a good philly cheesesteak sammy in quite awhile.
This food looks amazing. I will have to try it when i go to Disney.
My husband has eaten there before. Its definitely a nice place for the dads to getaway, or any sports fanatic.
My husband would love that. I would just love to go to Disney World.
That looks like a really great place to eat. That cajun burger looks really tasty.
Oh, that Philly Cheesesteak! That looks good enough to abandon a whole lot of lifestyle changes! The ESPN Club looks like a really delicious place to splurge.
We were just at Disney World a couple of weeks ago and there was so much we missed. Next year we’ll have to check out the ESPN club!
Sounds like a great place for sports fans! The food looks so delicious as well! We have been in Disney for the last vacation, but we never had a chance to eat. If we go next time, definitely I will try this.
Hehehe when I was living in Orlando, when the magic were in the nBA finals, they would have watch parties for the away games at ESPN! So much fun!
This looks like a fun place to visit. The food looks appetizing!
Wheeeee ESPN! That’s one of my favorite non-park Disney restaurants to eat in. π It’s so nice to be able to walk over if Epcot is too crowded and get a yummy burger and catch up on what’s happening in the sports world – my hubby loves it!
How cool! I didn’t know Disney had a boardwalk, looks like a tonne of fun!
This would be a restaurant my husband would love!!! I have not been to the Disney Boardwalk before looks amazing!
I’m going to have to try these. they look awesome.
What a fun place to eat! I think my boys would LOVE to eat here sometime soon.
It’s been years since I went to Disney World but when we go I am definitely eating here. That Philly looks so good!
I ate there several years ago and it was delicious! There was a famous baseball player there that night too.
This looks like the perfect sports fan location, the cheesesteak looks really yummy!
We have been there! It’s pretty good and looks like you had a fun time!
wow! looks like an amazing place.. My husband would love to into the ESPN stores!
My boys would be happy if this is all they did LOL! Great review!
Sounds like a great place to go on our next Disney trip!
That’s a great place to be. I wish I could take our kids three one day.
