Roundup Rodeo BBQ restaurant at Disney's Hollywood Studios still looks no closer to opening as the previously announced 2022 timeline is rapidly coming to an end.

Disney announced back in January 2022 that the new table service restaurant would open in 2022 following a long delay due to the COVID-19 shutdown. Roundup Rodeo BBQ was announced initially in 2019, with an opening set for 2020.

While we don't know what the state of the restaurant is on the inside, the exterior is still behind construction scrims, and we have no details on menus or reservations.

While a 2022 opening is still possible, it is looking more and more likely that Roundup Rodeo BBQ will open in 2023.

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.
