Bramblewood Bites Booth Menu & Review: EPCOT Food & Wine Festival

It might not be fair to say that there’s a best booth, singular, at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. One thing Walt Disney World has done really well, especially at the front of the park, is crafting menus that compliment one another across booths. Nowhere is this more evident than in Harvest Hollow, which features the top tier trio of Global Marketplaces or Studios at the event.

If you’re looking for magnificent meats and, I guess, a bowl of vegetables, Bramblewood Bites is the destination for you. This Walt Disney World dining review shares menu prices, food photos, and offers thoughts on what’s worth your money or Disney Dining Plan snack credits at Bramblewood Bites, one of the three brand-new booths in Harvest Hollow.

Harvest Hollow is the new area alongside Journey into Imagination, running between World Celebration and World Showcase. Each of these three new booths brings something different to the table and are well worth your time and stomach space. The Bramblewood Bites booth (say that five times fast) has a menu that would make Sam Eagle shed a single tear, as it’s a tribute to great all-American cuisine.

In fact, Harvest Hollow is our new go-to spot for an evening meal at EPCOT. We’re big fans of the 3 booths in this area, plus another 2-3 that are on the periphery in the former Future World. We’d highly recommend grabbing a seat in the Harvest Hollow area and sending a runner to grab the best food and drinks at this bundle of booths, enjoying it all from one centralized location.

If Harvest Hollow sounds familiar, that might be because it isn’t completely new. This concept has existed before by other names–it was just redone for the third time since 2018, but it has been home to food booths or seating areas for previous festivals. This pathway between Journey into Imagination and World Showcase is known as the RoseWalk, and it was previously home to the Culinary Corridor that debuted in Future World back around 2017 with a small space devoted to the now-defunct ABC television series, The Chew.

Other EPCOT festivals also have used this area, although I’m not sure whether they ever gave it a proper name. Maybe it was just the Culinary Corridor regardless of the event. The Next Eats and Culinary Corridor areas contained some of the best booths at the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival in the past. These booths were a mixture of inventive, fun, and delicious–exactly what the EPCOT Festivals are at their best. Guess what? What’s old is new again–Harvest Hollow revives everything we loved about the Culinary Corridor, and this is once again the highlight of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival.

Here’s the menu for the Bramblewood Bites booth at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival:

Here are our food reviews from the Bramblewood Bites Global Studio Marketplace:

Grilled Cider-brined Pork Tenderloin ($6.75) – This grilled pork tenderloin is served with fennel apple slaw and apple cider gastrique. The photo here doesn’t even begin to do this justice, as it makes this look like a small portion of thick cut deli meat. It’s not. (On a related note, a lot of my Food & Wine photos leave something to be desired because I accidentally dripped sweat onto my lens and didn’t notice this until later in the morning.)

This grilled pork tenderloin is juicy and with just the right amount of char and smokiness from the grill. The sweetness and acidity from the apple cider provides a piquant quality that pairs perfectly with the pork. The slaw provides a nice crunch, I guess, but I felt like the texture and flavor combo from the pork and gastrique were sufficient on their own. I do wish the portion were slightly larger and the cut a bit thicker, but I’d absolutely order this again and again, regardless. Highly recommended.

Grilled Bison ($8.75) – I’m a sucker for bison, and this grilled cut with butternut squash purée, roasted mushrooms, and huckleberry gastrique is perfect in every way. It’s another case of the photo being deceiving, but this time, it’s Disney’s fault–they plated this with a giant leaf covering much of the meat. (I probably should’ve moved it for the photos, but it was hot and I wasn’t thinking.)

The bison is grilled to medium-rare perfection, with excellent semi-gamey flavor and just the right amount of juiciness. The char again provided the right texture and smoky flavor. Don’t even get me started on the delicious mushrooms, the sweet butter squash, or the huckleberry gastrique, all of which made this dish punch way above its weight. It actually reminded me of something I had years ago in Montana, where huckleberry is incorporated into any and everything. This is definitely among my top 5 savory dishes of the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, and makes a strong case for #1.

Cast Iron-roasted Brussel Sprouts and Root Vegetables ($5) – Five bucks for a big bowl of grilled vegetables along with dried cranberries, candied pecans, and maple bourbon glaze. There are certainly worse ways to fill your veggie quota at Walt Disney World, and many of them will be more expensive.

I liked this quite a bit. Once again, there’s a wonderful char and smokiness to the flavor. The maple bourbon glaze is also a nice touch, adding a certain sweetness and sharpness to the flavor. It’s great to have more plant-based dishes at EPCOT festivals…that are actually made of plants. It’s never going to hold a candle to the pork or bison, but it’s excellent for what it is. Recommended.

It’s also worth noting that the dishes at Bramblewood Bites actually are grilled right on-site.

This booth smells fantastic as a result, and has a bit of a show component. Despite beckoning guests from across the former Future World with its delightful aroma, I was surprised that this never had much of a line. Hard to imagine that pork tenderloin, of all dishes, is too adventurous for Walt Disney World guests, but the line at the Macatizers booth was always exponentially longer than Bramblewood Bites during our visits.

Ultimately, Bramblewood Bites is basically what the Flavors of America booth should be. I was trying to think of a Walt Disney World restaurant comparison, and the one I kept coming back to was Artist Point. Both the original U.S. National Park Lodge dining room and the current Snow White character meal. (It also reminds me of EPCOT Farmers Feast at Flower & Garden.)

The dishes at Bramblewood Bites are that ambitious and that delicious. You should order all three dishes at this booth, as they’re each arguably among the top 10 of the entire EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. (By the way, if you’re worried about stomach space since we’ve already recommended a lot, fear not. There’s a lot less that’s worthwhile once you get to World Showcase. You can skip over half of those booths entirely!)

To conquer all of the foods in Harvest Hollow, we’d advise tourists visiting this area after a midday break from the snacking, ideally as the sun gets lower in the sky. For locals, this area is the perfect after-work stop on your way into the park before doing a lap of World Showcase and getting a spot for Luminous The Symphony of Us. Harvest Hollow has several heavy hitting booths with really strong dishes–we highly recommend grabbing at least a half-dozen items from this area!
