Disney Eats: First Look at The Turf Club Bar and Grill Reopening

The Turf Club Bar and Grill is reopening its doors on September 30 at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa. Inspired by turn-of-the-century Upstate New York and racing culture, the venue features vintage equestrian memorabilia and scenic views of the golf course, Lake Buena Vista, and Disney Springs. The menu pairs comforting classics and shareable plates with spirited cocktails perfect for guests of all ages.

Guests can start with delicious appetizers such as the savory French Onion Soup topped with melted fontina and Gruyère, or the plant-based Sweet-and-Spicy Brussels Sprouts glazed with a piquant agave sauce. Other starters include crispy chicken wings, golden-fried calamari with shishito peppers, lemon butter shrimp, and a wedge salad garnished with marigold from The Land Pavilion at EPCOT.

For main courses, the menu offers a variety of hearty entrées. The Slow-roasted Prime Rib is served with a baked potato topped with butter, sour cream, and chives, along with seasonal vegetables, au jus, and horseradish sauce. The Smoked Salmon-wrapped Halibut features seasonal risotto and a citrus beurre blanc, garnished with nasturtium from EPCOT’s The Land Pavilion. Other main dishes include Braised Pork Shank with New York cheddar grits, Char-grilled Butcher’s Steak with roasted garlic mashed potatoes, Spinach and Mushroom Linguini with a mushroom cream sauce (plant-based), a Turf Club Burger with bacon and New York white cheddar, Corn Flake-breaded Fried Chicken and Waffle, and Pappardelle Shrimp Pasta with asparagus and truffle sauce.

Dessert options include a Chocolate-Hazelnut Cake comprised of hazelnut mousse and berry sauce, a classic New York-style Vanilla Bean Cheesecake with strawberry sauce and graham crumb, Salted Caramel Pot de Crème featuring vanilla bean panna cotta and pecan crunch, and an Apple Tart with caramel sauce, streusel, and a plant-based gelato.

The Turf Club also serves a range of specialty cocktails for both adults and younger guests. Signature drinks include The Saratoga Cocktail with Michter’s Single Barrel Rye Whiskey, Winner’s Circle Margarita with Don Julio Reposado Tequila and Grand Marnier, New York Sour, Blood Orange Margarita, Piña CoLAVA, New York Old Fashioned, Grandstand Martini, Mint Julep, and Pineapple Mule. Non-alcoholic specialties feature the Enchanted Grove Lime Splash with cucumber and mint, and the Enchanting Ember Lemonade blending strawberry and hot honey flavors.

The beverage offerings also include a carefully selected wine list featuring sparkling, white, rosé, and red wines. Beer selections cover pale lagers like Stella Artois, amber lagers such as Blue Point Toasted, wheat ales, several India Pale Ales, seasonal brews including Samuel Adams Seasonal, hard seltzers, and non-alcoholic beers brewed by Athletic Brewing Co.

Coffee fans can enjoy freshly brewed Joffrey’s coffee in regular or decaf, double espresso, cappuccino, caffè latte, and a special Peru Alto Mayo Protected Forest Coffee prepared via press pot.

The Turf Club Bar and Grill promises an exceptional dining experience combining history, atmosphere, and a diverse, flavorful menu when it reopens on September 30 at Disney’s Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa.
