Rix Sports Bar & Grill

We ate at this restaurant while staying at the Coronado resort. Is it something I would go out of the way to go to? Probably not, but it is convenient and pretty good if you’re staying there. Our server was very kind and friendly, which is one reason for a full star! Our food came out quick and was correct, another star. It was pretty tasty at least as well. The menu didn’t have a ton of options for a sports bar I felt like. I had the Turkey club sandwich with waffle fries, but I will admit the sandwich was impractical to try and eat. I had to remove an inch of Turkey to even bite into it. There were maybe 9 fries in that small basket that were not salted or seasoned. It was a pretty good experience, but nothing grand.

Decent bar and grill with standard sports pub menu. Good table service, but the host CMs seemed bored and irritated with their jobs. (Not very Disney-like) This place is large and seems it can handle a crowd. Reservations were availability and would probably be a good idea during busier times of the day/year. Multiple screens to watch your favorite sports and the staff seemed willing to find what you wanted to watch. (There were many folks from the UK when I visited cheering on a soccer game.) Not a destination restaurant by any means. Not bad, just not spectacular. If you do have a game you can't miss while at WDW, this is a good choice. You don't have to be a hotel guest to go here if you have a reservation.

Ate here twice during my stay at Coronado Springs. Had the nachos both times, which were overall great. However, the highlight was by far this cotton candy cheesecake. I’m fairly sure it gave me diabetes, but it was worth it just to have a pleasant reminder of how excited I once was to consume copious amounts of sugar. I also enjoyed the Bourbon Smash signature cocktail which was very good. As far as the atmosphere…it could be better, but it’s likely because Disney caters to kids and not sports fanatics seeking to get lit. Still, a great little spot to get away from the littles if you need to. And I’ll say this repeatedly: The Disney cast members/employees are all amazing and are attuned to customer service. Big shout out to them all!

The food is amazing! Super fresh, Amazing service! Definitely recommend! They even pre
split a meal we shared (we weren’t super
hungry)

It is a nice place. The food is excellent and the staff is friendly. It's a great place to meet some friends, catch a game and enjoy a cold beer.

My mom and I were seated within 5 minutes with no reservation. We shared the loaded waffle fries and they were sooo good! Our entrees (tomato soup & grilled cheese) were also very flavorful. I’m a picky eater and I loved it here! Our server was very friendly and helpful. They catered to my nut allergy just fine.

So disappointed that the wing sauce has changed. We used to get these delicious wings at Disney Port Orleans Riverside and also at Rix Sports Bar & Grill. Riverside changed their sauce and no longer offer the great buffalo flavored sauce they once were famous for. But, Rix continued to have them. We have compared many a wing to those delicious morsels and visited Coronado Springs, in part, due to those wings and sauce.
During this visit, the sauce is gone and the replacement is not near as good. Come on, people. Why mess up a good thing?
That being said, we ate at Rix twice during our stay last weekend and loved the service and personality we got from Ashley (the bartender). Great atmosphere. We opted for the Chipotle Glaze bone in wings and the Pork Potstickers. The Potstickers were over cooked and too tough and crunchy. The wings were okay. Our drinks were great and we will be back next time we stay at Coronado Springs Resort (one of the best resorts Disney has). Please consider bringing back the buffalo sauce you had previously. Thank you.

Limited menu, sonewhat short staffed (but then isn't everywhere). But I thought the food was pretty darn good. Of course, we had been traveling all day and we were starving. So most meals would have tasted great. But really, I thought it was above average grill food. Also, open late, so when you struggle to find food at Disney parks because it's rather difficult sometimes to find food without waiting in line for 2 hours, that's great to go to go back to the hotel and go to the restaurant and eat like a normal dining establishment.
