Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new permit that should move the Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant at Disney's Hollywood Studios much closer to its opening.

The permit, assigned to Brilliant Creative Fabrication in Orlando, calls for the installation of "themed facades." The company carrying out the work has partnered with Disney numerous times, including many of the original Toy Story Land sets. (Thanks to @danlb_2000 on the WDWMAGIC Forums for identifying the permit.)

Originally planned to open in 2020 and delayed by the pandemic, the Roundup Rodeo BBQ will be located near the entrance of Toy Story Land and will be a table service offering. Disney said earlier this year that Roundup Rodeo BBQ will open in 2022.

Stepping into the lobby and waiting area, guests experience first-hand what it feels like to be one of Andy’s honorary toys, before progressing into two larger dining room spaces where Andy’s rodeo takes place. Here, the rodeo will be in full swing, with western town and train station playsets mixing with surprising, playful details, like some fan-favorite Pixar characters as they’ve never been seen before!

Just not complete unless John Ratzenberger is your waiter...

It actually gets turned into fuel for the Disney busses.

Is that a problem? There’s no shortages of food.

I have to admit, the overhead PA system stuff was clever especially when "Andy's coming"? Everyone - servers and guests - all pause. It's actually fun.

Well the non-teachers might appreciate having a big, over-themed room. Or not. While you shouldn't eat glue, I would suggest the adults drink the PB&J.

The atmosphere is a bit disappointing. It looks like my old kindergarten room... which isn't a good thing. I've got some bad memories from that place. Did you know you're not supposed to eat a whole supersized jar of elmers paste?

When I say a lot, I mean A LOT.

How nice they throw away wasted food they don't need to give you in the first place. 🙄

I suspect you'll still get more food than you can eat. It's a LOT.

As vegetarians, we are definitely looking forward to trying the vegetarian offerings. Looks like they have a lot and the reviews have been pretty good.

I enjoyed the food but we agreed we wouldn’t spend over $200 to eat there again. You can find better BBQ elsewhere at WDW. Sides were good, though, and we liked the theming in there. It was a fun time. You definitely don’t leave hungry.

So here is my quick review. I went solo and the amount of food you get is the same whether a party of one or a party of five. They assure me they compost what isn't eaten. Anyway, here is what you get (drinks are separate): A minimum of three biscuits Three separate salads A skillet of chicken, brisket, ribs, and sausage Your choice of 4 of 6 or 7 sides, each in a large bowl. I chose corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans, and Mac and cheese. Your choice of up to 4 or 5 small cups of dessert. I choose cheesecake, apple pie, and tort, similar to mousse. For a party of two, why pay $90? $45 is plenty for two or even more. You can't, BTW. The cost is per person. Food is great but too much for one person. You've been warned.
