Backlot Express


Location: Echo Lake
Service: Counter Service
Type: Counter service
Cuisine: American
Review

The Backlot Express is one of the better counter service values that can be found at the Studios. Designed to look like a movie-studio prop shop, the portions are large and prices moderate. Its value has been among the best at the Studios in terms of what your money gets you and the food is top notch, large portion sizes with ample seating both indoors and outdoors.  It also sports a wide selection of foods that can appease the healthy eaters in the crowd along with those who enjoy a nice burger.

 

The Backlot Express offers a great place to anyone who likes burgers. Offering both indoor and outdoor seating, Backlot Express is a great place for lunch, even if it is somewhat hidden. The burger and veggie sandwich are our favorite options on the menu while the rest of the fare is more than adequate and offers guests a good alternative to the full service restaurants. Sometimes around lunch time, lines can get very long after a showing of Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular lets out. The line should be more manageable about 15 minutes later when that crowd moves through. Recently, self-serve beverage stations have been added which make for a better overall value with the opportunity to have unlimited refills on soft drinks.
