My Favorite Sit-Down Dining Deal at Disney World Costs Under $10

Everything is more expensive. This is true everywhere, not just at Walt Disney World. Have you been out to dinner lately?! The menu prices are insane, not to mention service charges and various fees on top of tips. And if you were worried about portions being too big, don’t, because they’ve gotten smaller.

This is arguably not as bad at Walt Disney World as in the real world. It got really bad during the revenge travel era as prices skyrocketed and free perks were cut, but it’s gotten better since. This summer alone, there are several great resort hotel and admission discounts, highlighted by the 4-Park, 4-Day Magic Discount Walt Disney World Ticket.

That’s a fantastic ticket deal, and can work well when paired with water parks, late night visits to Disney Springs after the parks close, and non-parks days. As for what to do during those late night visits to Disney Springs and non-parks days? Well, we have some ideas. One of which is meal deals at Disney Springs, highlighted by our very favorite option that we’ve done (literally) over a dozen times.

We don’t cover it as much now that we’re tourists (again), but back when we were locals, we ate at Disney Springs about once per week (or every other). There were a couple reasons for that. The first is that it was easy. We had AMC A-List, that was our home theater, and parking plus a meal on the West Side was shockingly simple. A more efficient date night than the parks.

Second, Disney Springs is the culinary epicenter of Walt Disney World. Restaurants like the Boathouse, Homecomin’, Morimoto Asia, Wine Bar George, Jaleo, Raglan Road, and a variety of other table service restaurants by celebrity chefs have impressed.

We’re also big fans of several counter service options, with the ‘burger of the month’ at D-Luxe Burger and ‘cookie of the month’ at Gideon’s being to blame for my initial weight gain when we moved to Florida. (Someone should warn you that there’s a more difficult to lose version of the “Freshman 15” when you move to Walt Disney World.)

Finally, Disney Springs restaurants offer a better value proposition than in-park alternatives. This is because the shopping and dining district caters largely to locals, and the restaurants need to be competitive with real world options in Central Florida since Floridians with cars are not a captive audience.

On top of this, the dining scene at Disney Springs is arguably oversaturated. Or perhaps more accurately, since none of the restaurants have gone out of business like the revolving door of some retailers, some of the dining locations have uneven utilization rates. Which is to say that they can be slammed on weekends and around holidays, but dead during weekday lunches or the offseason.

The good news is that the embarrassment of culinary riches at Disney Springs has driven competition, especially among table service restaurants before dinner. This has led to some great lunch and happy hour specials! In fact, there are so many happy hour specials that I can’t keep track of them. It seems like every time I’m at Disney Springs, I see a new sandwich board sign beckoning guests inside for a hot deal.

According to Disney Springs, here’s a list of the current happy hour specials as of Summer 2026…

We don’t really drink anymore, so we don’t focus on the happy hours that are alcohol-only.

We’ve done most of the rest of these, including a couple that aren’t on the list (anymore?). One thing I’d add for anyone visiting in the near future is that, in the apparent absence of Flavors from Florida, it appears that restaurants are starting to offer new deals to entice guests.

For example, Raglan Road just rolled out a new Summer Lovin’ menu that includes Pretzel, Beer, Braised Onion, Cheese Sauce; North Atlantic Salmon Salad; Fish ‘N’ Chips; Banger & Mash; Chicken Salad, and more (see full menu below).

Other locations where we’ve done happy hour that aren’t listed above include House of Blues, City Works, and Wine Bar George. (That last one is more a distinct and less expensive lunch menu than it is a proper happy hour. We love lunch or brunch at Wine Bar George, but it’s not truly cheap like other happy hour offerings.)

The one happy hour we have not done but have heard fantastic things about is Summer House on the Lake. That’s on my list for next month, so I’ll report back on that soon. For now, my favorite happy hour at Disney Springs is the most comprehensive one.

The winner is STK Steakhouse Orlando.

We are big fans of STK, but with the very important caveat that we never do the full dinner menu. Entrees on the dinner menu all start at over $50, and many exceed $80 or even $100. STK could easily be the most expensive dinner at Disney Springs if you’re a high roller looking for the exact opposite of what this post advocates.

STK also has its own distinct, ahem, atmosphere that is atypical at Walt Disney World. Suffice to say, if you’re not comfortable with the ritzy Las Vegas scene, STK in the main dining room at dinner won’t be for you.

The good news is that it’s a totally different vibe earlier in the day or outside on the patio seating. It’s more inviting and family friendly, even if the interior (and music) is still lacking in that distinctly Disney sensibility.

Our go-to lunch at Disney Springs, is the Wagyu Burger.

This is available as part of the lunch menu from 11 am to 3 pm on weekdays and on Saturday from 9:30 am to 2 pm. The Wagyu Burger & Fries consists of a 7oz beef patty, plus lettuce, tomato, onion, american cheese, special sauce, and fries. Optional add-ons include egg for $3, bacon for $3, grilled onions for $3 or avocado for $3.50.

We first spotted this deal back in 2018, before food costs rose by over 30% or Walt Disney World vacation prices shot up. We ordered it many times between then and late 2021, but I don’t recall seeing it after 2022.

When I saw it again at Disney Springs last year for the first time in ages, I was blown away to see that this deal was still available. Or rather, available again.

Against all odds, the STK burger deal is still around 6+ years later. Admittedly, we don’t spend as much time at Disney Springs as we used to when we were locals, but I just assumed inflation or everything else had killed this deal.

Nope. Instead, the deal has gotten better over the last couple of years. At some point, the deal increased in price to $14.99 and then I’m pretty sure it was unavailable for a period of time–possibly during peak pent-up demand. Regardless, it’s back now, and once again $9.99. (There’s also a version available on the happy hour menu for $9, but it’s listed as the STK Burger instead of the STK Wagyu Burger.)

Recently, I discovered that the best version of all is available on the weekend brunch menu from 9:30 am to 2 pm on Sundays: the Wagyu Burger BKFT. So of course, I had to make the trek out to STK for the Very Important Research of taste-testing this burger.

The Wagyu Burger BKFT consists of a 7oz beef patty topped with american cheese, bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato, onion, and special sauce. That burger is an even better deal, as it includes the bacon and fried egg, which are upcharges during the lunch special. The Wagyu Burger BKFT is $9.99 during Sunday brunch, as opposed to the $15.99 it’d cost during lunch with those add-ons.

One thing I will note here is that there’s a discrepancy between the Walt Disney World online menu and the STK menu. The former indicates it’s available with fries, whereas the latter lists only chips. I asked about this when I ordered, and was told that it was chips-only during brunch. I didn’t press about a substitution since I was dining alone and only ordering a burger. Hardly a deal-breaker from my perspective.

The Wagyu Burger BKFT is delicious. A thick and juicy patty that’s a tad fatty and incredibly filling. I normally order burgers medium-rare, but think this one is better medium. The patty and toppings are delicious to the point that I don’t think the fried egg and bacon are “necessary” in the first place to enhance or mask the meat.

This is a “Wagyu” Burger with air quotes in the sense that it’s the (increasingly common) marketing use of the term rather than a signal of high-quality and a costly product. It’s wagyu in the same sense that dishes at food booths in EPCOT are wagyu. Still, the quality is there.

At this price, this burger is actually a couple dollars cheaper than specialty items at D-Luxe Burger, and the STK Burger comes with fries (or chips) and is higher quality beef. If you go during lunch or happy hour, you can also add other inexpensive items in the unlikely event that you’re still hungry after the burger.

It doesn’t even seem like any “shrinkflation” has happened here, with this burger being just as big in 2026 as it was back in 2018. It does seem like slightly cheaper beef is being used, but it’s still delicious–and hard to complain too much about a $10 table service meal at Walt Disney World!

As noted above, STK also has an amazing happy hour menu that’s available during the following timeframes:

• Weekday – Mon – Fri: 2:30 – 6:30pm
• Weekend – Sat – Sun: 2:30 – 5:30pm (Available in the bar, lounge, & patio only)
• Late Night – Sun – Thur: 10:00pm – Close (Available in the bar, lounge, & patio only)

We are due to re-review this happy hour menu (for research, of course), but we’ve had it in the past several times and it offers amazing bang for buck. Given how little the Wagyu Burger deal has changed between 2018 and 2026, I’m guessing the same is true of happy hour.

At some point, I also need to convince myself not to order the Wagyu Burger and instead do the $45/45 minute Power Lunch, or the $19.99 Filet + Fries. Those also look like fantastic deals, I just haven’t gotten around to trying them yet.

Honestly, I don’t know how they aren’t losing money on all of this. Now that Sprinkles Cupcakes is no more, STK seems like the restaurant at Disney Springs that’s most likely to go out of business overnight. It would be a sad day for me and my wallet, but not a surprising one.

With those happy hour options, STK Steakhouse isn’t just the best value lunch in all of Walt Disney World. It’s also the best value early dinner on weekdays or weekends, or late at night after hitting the parks and most restaurants are closed.

Rounding out the deals, we recommend signing up for their “Friends with Benefits” loyalty program. Once you get past the cringey name, you’ll receive a variety of special offers, including $50 birthday gift cards, free items, and more. Recently, they had a BOGO deal on burgers, but I wasn’t able to take advantage of it.

STK frequently offers discounted gift cards around Christmas, meaning that you can further sweeten the deal on this burger or happy hour. Again, I’m not sure how STK is still in business given all of this, and since it’s an odd fit for Walt Disney World, even once you account for convention guests and Floridians.

The name of that email list should serve as a reminder that STK has a bit of edge to it, even if that has been toned down at the Disney Springs location. Lunch and happy hour are generally pretty chill, with the scene bumpin’ a bit more upstairs at dinner. (That’s the closest I get to hip language.)

Ultimately, the Wagyu Burger BKFT is the best value meal deal in all of Walt Disney World. Not just the best burger or the best brunch, but the best meal, period. Objectively speaking, it surpasses the normal lunch special that we’ve done countless times, since it adds the value of the bacon and fried eggs.

With all of that said, I personally will be sticking to an early weekday lunch or the late night happy hour at STK. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate bacon and a fried egg on my burger. I just don’t think that’s strictly necessary here, and the value maximization mission comes at the expense of fries (at least, for me; YMMV) while also requiring a visit to Disney Springs on what’s often a busier day. Now time to go back and do more happy hour research!
