✨ Atmosphere
Homecomin' feels warm, casual and welcoming, with a Southern farmhouse influence that fits the menu without turning into heavy-handed theming. The restaurant stays lively, especially during busy dinner and brunch periods, but it still feels comfortable enough for a relaxed meal. It works equally well for a family lunch, a group dinner or an adults-only stop for cocktails and appetizers.
🍴 Food
Southern comfort food is the star, with fried chicken serving as the signature attraction. The menu also includes hearty entrées, sandwiches, Southern-style appetizers, biscuits and indulgent desserts. Portions tend to be generous, and many of the starters work well for sharing.
🍹 Drinks
Homecomin' is almost as well known for its drinks as its fried chicken. The bar focuses on Southern-inspired cocktails, including moonshine-based options, along with beer, wine and nonalcoholic selections. The drink menu gives the restaurant a fun adults-night-out side without taking away from its family-friendly feel.

$$ ($21 to $50) per person

$$$$ ($76+) per person
Price Tier: $$
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' fits comfortably into the $$ category for most guests. Sandwiches and lighter choices can keep the cost toward the lower end, while full entrées usually fall into the moderate range. Adding appetizers, desserts or cocktails can push a meal into the next tier, but for a typical entrée and beverage, $21 to $50 per person is a realistic expectation.
🌾 Allergies
Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many Disney Springs restaurants make an effort to accommodate guests whenever possible. Some locations offer separate allergy-friendly menus or clearly identify allergy-friendly options on their regular menus. Be sure to let your server or a Cast Member know about any allergies before ordering. Depending on the restaurant and the specific allergy, food may be prepared in a separate area or additional precautions may be taken to help reduce the risk of cross-contact. Because kitchens and preparation areas vary, accommodations cannot always be guaranteed, so guests with severe allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.

🌟 Final Thoughts
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin' is one of Disney Springs' strongest choices when comfort food sounds better than fine dining. The fried chicken gets most of the attention, but the broader Southern menu, generous portions and creative drinks give the restaurant plenty of reasons for repeat visits. This is not the place to come looking for a tiny, delicate dinner. Homecomin' embraces hearty food and does it well.
