Regal Eagle Smokehouse Opens TODAY at Epcot; Sneak Peek Inside

    It’s official. After months of wild speculation on opening dates that came and went, Regal Eagle Smokehouse is officially opening Wednesday, February 19th at EPCOT.

    Thanks to a sneak peek video from the Walt Disney World Cast and Community Facebook page, we not only get a chance to “Meet the Pitmasters”, but we also get a sneak peek inside the Regal Eagle Smokehouse that promises to be the go-to place for Barbecue at the Walt Disney World Resort.

    The restaurant takes its name from the venerable Sam Eagle, the Muppet known for his patriotism and strict sense of duty and honor. He takes all things seriously … and barbecue is certainly one of those things. 

    Regal Eagle Smokehouse will be the site for “Sam’s Centennial Cook-Off: A Salute to All Cook-Offs but Mostly Barbecue.” Guests will be the beneficiaries of this contest – described as “a competition fit for all patriots and pit masters” – as it brings in a variety of classic backyard barbecue selections from across the country to vie for Sam’s top honor (for more details on the menu, click here).
