We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: not all Disney World restaurants are created equally. Some are worth singing about from the rooftops, while others are more of a one-and-done.

Planet Hollywood

This brings us to Planet Hollywood at Disney Springs — a restaurant we find generally so upsetting, that even the Terminator himself couldn’t save it (okay, that might be dramatic — but you get it). While there are some redeemable dishes on the menu at this spot, the most recent meal we tried certainly wasn’t one of them. 

Located in Downtown Disney’s West Side, Planet Hollywood is a three-tiered observatory full of dining. And, while it’s certainly not our favorite restaurant at Disney Springs, there is a large menu with a wide variety of options that will likely please even the pickiest of eaters. We recently stopped by and grabbed the Bird is the Word chicken sandwich for $18.99 and are bringing you our thoughts!

Planet Hollywood Menu

This sandwich is made with a crispy fried all-natural chicken breast, buttermilk ranch dressing, pickles, cheddar, slaw & honey hot sauce on a brioche bun served with seasoned fries. This sounds like a pretty classic — and delicious — chicken sandwich, so what could go wrong?

Bird is the Word sandwich

This was… not good. The chicken was not seasoned and the sandwich itself lacked flavor overall. Not only that, but the selling point for us, which was the hot honey sauce, was not even hot honey. It tasted and looked and smelled exactly like buffalo sauce (OUTRAGEOUS). Very disappointing. We did like the one pickle spear the sandwich was served with, but for $18.99, we don’t think this sandwich is worth getting again.

Not our favorite

We’ve had better chicken sandwiches at Disney World — and even at Disney Springs! If you’re after a really delicious chicken sandwich, you’ll want to head to Chicken Guy! instead. We also really enjoy the fried chicken sandwiches from Connections Eatery at EPCOT.

This just goes to show that there are plenty of good eats in Disney World — as long as you know where to look!

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for more snacks to review and updates from Disney Springs. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest food reviews, Disney news, and more!
