The Edison combines dining, drinks and entertainment in one of the more unusual spaces at Disney Springs. The restaurant has an industrial, vintage-inspired look that gives it plenty of personality, while the menu focuses on American comfort food with a

few creative touches. As the evening gets later, the entertainment and nightlife side of The Edison becomes a bigger part of the experience.


🍽️ Experience

A meal at The Edison is about more than just what is on the plate. During the day and earlier evening hours, it works well as a casual place for burgers, appetizers and hearty entrées. Later in the evening, the atmosphere becomes livelier, making it especially appealing for adults who want dinner, drinks and entertainment all in one place.


ℹ️ Info

Type: American restaurant and entertainment venue

Location: The Landing

Service Style: Table service

Accessibility: Wheelchair and ECV accessible


✨ Atmosphere

The Edison has one of the most distinctive interiors at Disney Springs. The space is designed around an old industrial power station theme, with exposed mechanical details, towering ceilings and a vintage nightlife feel. It has plenty of character during the day, but the energy becomes much stronger in the evening when entertainment becomes a larger part of the experience.


🍴 Food

The menu focuses on American comfort food with a little extra flair. Burgers, chicken, ribs, steak, salmon and other hearty entrées make up much of the menu, while many of the appetizers are designed for sharing. Expect options like pretzels, wings, bacon, loaded fries and other rich starters. There are also salads and plant-based choices for guests looking for something outside the heavier comfort-food selections.


🍹 Drinks

Drinks are a major part of The Edison experience. The bar offers a wide variety of cocktails, including classic-inspired drinks and more creative specialty options. Beer, wine, cider and nonalcoholic drinks are also available. Cocktails can add quite a bit to the total bill, but this is one restaurant where the drink menu feels like an important part of the overall experience.


💰 Price

$ ($1–$20 per person)

$$ ($21–$50 per person)

$$$ ($51–$75 per person)

$$$$ ($76+ per person)


Price Tier: $$

Many burgers, sandwiches and casual entrées fall comfortably within the $$ range. Some of the larger entrées and steaks cost more, and adding appetizers or cocktails can push the meal past $50 per person fairly quickly. The Edison can still be reasonably priced if you keep your order simple, but it is easy for the bill to climb during a full evening out.


🌾 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.


💡 Tips

🎶 Visit later in the evening if the entertainment is one of the main reasons you are choosing The Edison.

🍔 Go earlier if you want to focus more on the meal and atmosphere without as much nightlife energy.

🍸 Keep an eye on cocktail prices if you are trying to stay within the $$ price tier.

🥨 Sharing appetizers is a good way for a group to try more of the menu.

🌟 Final Thoughts

The Edison is a good choice when you want dinner to feel like part of the evening rather than just a place to stop and eat. The combination of industrial theming, cocktails and entertainment gives it a personality that stands out at Disney Springs. It is especially worth considering for a date night, adult evening or group looking for somewhere lively after dark.
