Tucked away in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom, The Friar’s Nook is a charming quick-service spot that often flies under the radar, but it’s a must-visit for those craving delicious comfort food with a whimsical Disney twist. Located near The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, this cozy nook offers savory dishes perfect for a satisfying snack or a hearty meal.
A Hidden Gem of Comfort Food
The Friar’s Nook specializes in indulgent, comfort-food favorites, with a menu focused on one of the most beloved comfort dishes: loaded tater tots. Yes, you heard that right—tater tots with a variety of toppings that take this simple snack to a whole new level. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite between rides or something to tide you over for a while, the portions here are generous and filling.
Some guest-favorite menu items include the Creamy Bacon Mac & Cheese Tots, where crispy tater tots are smothered in creamy mac and cheese, topped with crispy bacon pieces for an extra layer of flavor and crunch. There’s also the Bratwurst Tots, a delightful combination of bratwurst sausage, sauerkraut, and mustard, creating a dish that’s both hearty and satisfying.
If you’re more of a traditionalist, there’s also the Classic Mac & Cheese, which is simple but oh-so-delicious, or the Chili-Cheese Tots, packed with meaty chili and melty cheese for that ultimate comfort food experience.
Vegetarian and Seasonal Options
For those looking for a meatless option, The Friar’s Nook often serves a Plant-Based Bratwurst, which offers all the flavor of its traditional counterpart but caters to those following a vegetarian or vegan diet. Disney is great at offering diverse menu options, and The Friar’s Nook is no exception.
During special events and seasonal festivals, you might even find unique or limited-time menu items like specialty tots or festive treats, so it’s always worth stopping by to see what’s new.
Convenient and Quick
One of the best things about The Friar’s Nook is its convenience. The quick-service model allows you to grab a tasty meal and get back to enjoying the park. There’s limited seating available, but you can often find a nearby spot to sit and enjoy your food or take your tots to go and snack as you walk through Fantasyland.
For a satisfying, quick bite that hits all the right comfort-food notes, The Friar’s Nook is a hidden gem in Magic Kingdom that should not be overlooked. Whether you’re craving cheesy mac or loaded tots, this little nook has something to delight everyone.
